But it wouldn't be brutal you only have to look at the Iraq inquiry and see how Blair got off |  | |  |

I don't this what a case of "whataboutery" exactly - more pointing out that a public enquiry doesn't always result in the fall out some may expect. |  |

Precisely the public inquiry into the Iraq war was a complete whitewash and was basically held for the sake if it and delivered nothing |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Sorry I mean there are 4-5 posts from the Times at the start.... Boris Johnson skipped five Cobra meetings on the virus, calls to order protective gear were ignored and scientists’ warnings fell on deaf ears Failings in February may have cost thousands of lives It would not be until March 2 that Johnson would attend a Cobra meeting about the coronavirus. But by then it was almost certainly too late. Britain was on course for one of the worst infections of the most deadly virus in more than a century One day there will inevitably be an inquiry into the lack of preparations during those “lost” five weeks There will be questions about when politicians understood the severity of the threat, what the scientists told them and why so little was done to equip the NHS Any inquiry may also ask whether the government’s failure to get to grips with the crisis in those early days had the knock-on effect of the national lockdown being introduced days or even weeks too late, causing many thousands more unnecessary deaths |  |

Can you say “Grenfell Tower”? Or “£350M for the NHS”? Or perhaps “Russia Report”? They’ve been getting away for it for years. And will carry on. I’m starting to think mass scale civil disobedience is the only way anything in this country will change for the better. |  |

Tbh Blair would have done a far better job than this crop of sh1te we have in charge now. I'm sorry but Blair was damned if he did damned if he didn't. He was a good PM in my opinion. |  | |  |

Also a "biological threat" inquiry scheduled for last year that was postponed then eventually cancelled because something more important was going on (anyone remember Brexit?) https://theguardian.com/politics/2020/mar/29/uk-strategy-to-address-pandemic-thr Good article on the failures of years of head-in-the-sand mentality https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2020/03/why-weren-t-we-ready |  |

I suspect he’s referring to the WHO tweet on the 14th Jan reporting there was no evidence of human to human transmission. |  | |  |
