direction that would be highly unusual in recent British history. The idea here, attractive on its face, is that Britain can innovate its way into a new period of prosperity. Government economic measures unveiled in response to the pandemic may create further space for radical ideas too. Cummings imagines a radically different education system as part of this, with a focus on science, creativity, and problem solving. Britain’s recent decision to defy Trump and permit the Chinese firm Huawei to play a part in its future 5G rollout was part of this picture too, as Johnson and Cummings prioritized next-generation telecom infrastructure over favorable ties with the United States. Yet this second approach also comes with problems. Cummings’s plans are eye-catching, but they require deft state direction that would be highly unusual in recent British history. Johnson will have less money to spend either way, given the damage the coronavirus response is likely to do to national finances”.
Former Parliamentarian and politician, George Galloway raised the question of the incompetency of Boris Johnson government to tackle the crisis of COVID-19 (11 April 2020) in his article (PUSSYCAT media has failed to call out the UK government’s abysmal Covid-19 response) published on Russian Television’s website:
Even then, the numbers will likely still be insufficient – even for the NHS. But what about transport workers? Care home workers? Social care staff? My own 85-year-old mother had to turn her care workers away (God bless them) because they had neither masks nor gloves, nor had been tested – and this at a time when my sister has to leave my mother’s groceries at the outside door and wave to her through the window. A state of shame now exists in Britain. Elderly people are being handed documents by their doctors– Hippocratically bound by their oath to “Do no Harm” – and told to sign them. Upon inspection, the documents declare that the patient does not wish to be resuscitated should they become unconscious from the virus. Euthanasia by stealth, and contrary to law, has washed up on our shores. And all under the deaf, dumb and blind monkeys of the Fourth Estate. Such is the credibility of the British government that, when news began circulating that the Prime Minister’s health had sharply deteriorated and he had been taken to hospital and was in intensive care, a government spokesman diverted to blame “Russian disinformation.” The newshounds now known as stenographers duly wrote this down and published it. Only a few hours later the government was forced to concede how bad the PM’s condition was, and even if he was not put on a ventilator as the sources cited by the Russians said, never before had “Russian disinformation” claims aged so poorly, so quickly.
The UK fight against COVID-19 has been reprehensible due to the intentionally designed wrong and weak strategies of the Boris Johnson government. His Ministers and advisors demonstrated like warlords-using baggy language against journalists, writers and TV anchors-reporting their criminal behaviour and failed approach to the pandemic. They provided inaccurate COVID test to the health workers, and allowed them to dance in the jaw of death in hospitals and clinics.
On 20 Apr, 2020. Prominent journalist and analyst, Chris Sweeney warned in his well-written analysis that the British Prime Minister’s wanton dereliction of duty in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic killed thousands and he must be held accountable: “Boris Johnson must go. Recent revelations have shown the prime minister to be an entitled, arrogant, dismissive and negligent oaf who cannot be allowed to continue in his position. The details about his conduct during the initial outbreak of Covid-19 put a new spin on the metaphor ‘asleep at the wheel’.On December 31, China alerted the World Health Organization about the virus spreading in Wuhan, so leaders, governments and scientists immediately began to address the situation. From then until now, Great Britain desperately needed its commander-in-chief to grasp the reins. Completing a holiday on Caribbean island Mustique and not returning until January 5– an aside, it’s still unclear who paid for the £ 15,000-a-week villa he stayed in. Missing five Covid-19 COBRA meetings in succession (until March 2). Taking the last two weeks of February off to unwind at a mansion in Kent. Organising his divorce and stage managing the public announcement of his girlfriend’s pregnancy. Doing nothing as stocks of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and pandemic-related items were found to be run down and out of date. Sending 1,800 pairs of goggles, 43,000 sets of disposable gloves, 194,000 sanitising wipes, 37,500 medical gowns and 2,500 face masks to China in February, five days before the Health Service reported it was facing a “nightmare” due to the lack of PPE.
On 23 April 2020, the Guardian reported experts warning that race and racial inequalities are a risk factor for Covid-19 after Guardian research which has revealed that ethnic minorities in England are dying in disproportionately high numbers compared with white people. “The revelation that people from minority groups appear to be over-represented among the coronavirus deaths, by as much as 27%, “confirmed the worst fears” of campaigners who said there was now no question of an excessive toll. The Guardian analysis found that of 12,593 patients who died in hospital up to 19 April, 19% were Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME even though these groups make up only 15% of the general population in England. And the analysis revealed that three London boroughs with high BAME populations-Harrow, Brent and Barnet–were also among the five local authorities with the highest death rates in hospitals and the community. The findings confirm suspicions raised by local reports, hospitalisation rates and evidence from other countries, that minority groups face the greatest risk. And they show for the first time that areas with high ethnic minority populations in England and Wales tend to have higher mortality rates. While it is not yet clear why communities with proportionally higher number of BAME inhabitants appear to be dying at higher rates, one expert on public and ethnic health said that social deprivation was the strongest indicator for mortality due to an increased underlying burden of disease. Dr Zubaida Haque, deputy director of the Runnymede Trust, said: “The Guardian’s analysis confirmed our worst fears. We’re already aware that people of colour are much more likely to be critically ill with Covid-19 than their white counterparts, but we now know that BAME people are also much more at risk of mortality with Covid-19. Covid-19 is throwing into sharp relief existing racial inequalities.”
However, Mr. Chris Sweeney also noted criminal negligence of the Prime Minister missing five COBRA meeting: “You can’t hold one person responsible for every single thing that goes wrong inside a government. We can, though, declare Boris Johnson guilty as charged. All of the above are facts. Take the five missed COBRA meetings. On the afternoon of one such meeting, he had time instead to lark about with a Chinese dragon to mark the lunar New Year for a photo op at Downing Street. His government only actioned an order of necessary medical equipment on January 30. The contracts were already set up but by then, due to the rest of the world grasping the situation far sooner – the British order couldn’t be fulfilled. Sources have confirmed that during his countrywide break, aides were told if they wished their memos to be read by the PM, to keep them short. He even stated at a press conference on March 3 that he was happy to keep shaking hands, even with coronavirus patients – Boris subsequently caught the virus and was admitted to intensive care on April 5. The facts and figures are incredulous and frankly, stomach-churning. Britain is currently anticipated to suffer 66,000 deaths. Clearly, the UK has a far larger population (approximately 12 times) but not enough to explain a death toll that’s 6,000 percent greater”.
On 11 April 2020, Parliamentarian, politician and TV host, George Galloway in his article (The government has NEVER been pressed enough on any of these catastrophic failures by the pussycat press), severely criticized the Johnson administration for it weak and controversial approach to tackle the virus:
“And even when testing is promised – on a mass scale – but never happens, nobody seriously asks why? When ventilators are being DONATED by TURKEY, CUBA and CHINA, nobody asks where are the ventilators the British government belatedly ordered? From a vacuum-cleaner manufacturer, Dyson, who had never made a ventilator in his puff? When did Britain become a beneficiary of foreign aid from countries we’ve long been told are ‘enemy’ countries, or at least ‘rogue third-world states’? Care home workers? My own 85-year-old mother had to turn her care workers away (God bless them) because they had neither masks nor gloves, nor had been tested – and this at a time when my sister has to leave my mother’s groceries at the outside door and wave to her through the window! A state of shame now exists in Britain. Elderly people are being handed documents by their doctors–Hippocratically bound by their oath to “Do no Harm” – and told to sign them. Upon inspection,
