For me, their whole attitude towards us is in the book 'Britannia Unchained', so it's absolutely no surprise the new tory way of treating the pandemic is to absolve themselves of all responsibility by laying the emphasis on us to behave ourselves.
I watched the interview tonight with Dominic Cummings, and it didn't reveal anything surprising about Boris. One or two details were new, and him smirking about brexit angered me, but he was being honest, and as he said, nothing he has stated won't be corroborated in the enquiry. He added they would be under oath, and while I'm not sure Tory politicians will be too worried about that, other honest people that aren't tory party members that have their moral compass in the correct place that heard it probably will tell the truth about 'let the bodies pile up'.
I laughed my head off at him stating Michael Gove was absolutely honest, so I didn't agree with everything he said, but I don't dispute for one second our Prime Minister couldn't give a stuff about the elderly dying. It reinforced a perception that our lockdowns happened too late, we didn't close our borders and isolate enough, and our death rates from the disease being amongst the worst in the world are principally because the government didn't really give a shit about it.
A government that has the best interests of its people at heart doesn't let infected elderly patients be discharged from hospital and moved into care homes.
