All Our Yesterdays: Day 243.
ALL of the national UK newspapers carried headlines repeating the message from Boris Johnson telling us to stay at home.
“PM: ‘Stay at home, this is a national emergency."
What they were not telling us was that the scientists had been warning Johnson from March 13th that infection rates of Covid-19 were spiralling out of control and that the country needed to be locked down immediately.
“We scientists said lock down. But UK politicians refused to listen.”
The Guardian then went on to say:
“For 11 fateful days in March, the government ignored the best corona advice. It must learn from that mistake.”
But Johnson did not learn from his mistake: he put money before lives.
“Boris Johnson is blasted from all sides over winter lockdown: Labour claim draconian measures have come three week too late…"
Yesterday was a National Day of Remembrance for Covid victims: 126,000 dead and the number still rising.
This is a quote from Boris Johnson's speech the night before yesterday’s National Day of Remembrance.
“We have all played our part, whether it’s working on the front line as a nurse or carer, working on vaccine development and supply, helping to get that jab into arms, home schooling your children, or just by staying at home to prevent the spread of the virus.”
Yes Mr Johnson, so many, many people have played their part. It is therefore such a pity that when you were called upon to play yours you let the rest of us down so very badly.
