Gillian Merron, Chief Executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews has been given a life peerage, nominated by Keir Starmer. Bought and paid for.

Keir is probably thinking that is the deal of the century
Coincidentally, so is she.

I see nothing wrong with pointing out that lauding Captain Sir whatever detracts from the fact that it shouldnāt be fucking necessary. Sainting the zimmer warrior wonāt make Worzel Johnsonās hands less bloody.

Quite. I note that Johnson has also yet to deliver an end to global poverty or to realise the dream of world peace.
If any prime minister ever had a claim to be cut some slack, Johnson is it. Itās beyond me to understand how anyone could think otherwise. Iām not a fan, for the record I was appalled when it came down to him as the last tory standing, but thatās what happens when you let people vote. FFS, he had the mire of the brexit negotiations to deal with and had covid thrown at him from practically day 1, are we really saying he ought to have solved the chronic funding issues of the NHS at the same time?? FFS.
Given that his lot are the main cause of it then Iād say that itās not unreasonable to say this. IMHO

So, heās personally to blame for the underfunding of the NHS then, is he? To the point where he, personally, has āblood on his handsā? Simply on the basis that he was elected tory leader a year and a half ago?
Heās a Tory and he has supported Tory policy for years, all of which has seen the NHS underfunded. He has also avoided Cobra meetings, lauded herd immunity, locked down too late, opened up too early, failed to secure borders, shaken hands with Covid patients, spaffed 22 billion on track and trace, fuck knows how much on empty unstaffed Nightengale hospitals, failed on PPE from American jewellers and Turkish chancers, funnelled fuck knows how much money to tory donors, supported cummingsā lockdown wanderings and given the cunt a raise and generally been the worst cunt possible we could have in charge. Apart from that heās doing a blinding job.

Despite the appalling death toll, apparently there is still a large bunch of Tories trying to hasten the end of the lockdown. I think Johnson and his cabinet have made an appalling job of managing the pandemic, but he finally made some sense in the week when he said that we shouldnāt rush the easing of lockdown. Now the papers are full of dates when the suggest the easing might begin. We still have a long way to go before we know the effect of the vaccination programme on the pandemic and it would be utter madness if the brakes were to come off any time soon. We are seeing the figures come down which is encouraging. What we donāt want to be doing is making the same mistake as before and unleashing another period of viral spreading.

On reflection then, heās the ideal candidate not to have been given the job then. I wonder how that happened.
The point about him being a tory and therefore being responsible for NHS underfunding is basically saying that the country elected the wrong party. I have no idea what input he had into NHS funding before he was parachuted into the hot seat, other than he wasnāt Minister for Health. Track and trace can reasonably be described as a fuck up, weāll never know either way as it wasnāt made compulsory to download it. I donāt know anyone who actually did that. Still, thatās clearly Johnsons fault, nobody would have yelped about civil liberties if heād done the right thing and forced it on the public. The first reference I heard to herd immunity was from Whitty and his department. Johnson fucked up there as well I suppose, listening to those so-called experts. The Nightingale hospitals were opposed by every quarter as a waste of money when they were being commissioned, so yep, he fucked up there alright, if they had been needed weād have all said it was just bad luck they werenāt there.
It really is scapegoating to place it all on him, even everything the tories have done in the past because heās a tory.
