It's simple.
So long as the people they dislike are being hurt at a level they approve of, everything else is fair game and can either be ignored, justified or sneered at. |  |

What I don't get is how they're cool with a Tory party donor being handed more than twice the annual policing budget for the UK.

Key phrase: 'The Government is proposing a total settlement for the policing system of up to £15.2 billion in 2020/21, which is an increase of up to £1,121 million compared to 2019/20. This includes:

Do you honestly think that's the case though? The whole idea of a Gammon is someone who resist changes, desperately tries to keep themself at the top of the tree, and who looks down on others who attempt to move the needle in the direction of people who aren't already at the top of the tree
I don't know what to say to you if you think what the right have defined as 'wokeness' is the equiv of that. It's lazy thinking. Clearly there's a discussion to be had about a minority of those on the extreme left, but what is currently bring demonised as wokeness is actually just trying to treat people decently.

Nah. As with your football posts, any valid point you might make is rendered null and void by you being a ridiculous troll/tool. You’ll grow up one day. |  |

I’m not sure it’s the subject matter that’s the real issue here. It’s the whole starting 3 threads on the same topic within the space of a few hours that’s maybe riled a few people. | |

None of it, I’ve not said anywhere that it does. If it is as you say, then people will hopefully be held to account. But making decisions during a global pandemic, I’m sure isn’t easy, and you’ve got to take big risks, and place a lot of trust in the advice your being given. | | | |

That’s been the spend on testing as well right?
How many tests have there been to date? |
We are undertaking around 750,000 assorted tests a day. Privately you can easily pay £100 for a test; even if the average costs of tests is £35 you are talking about £9billion a year.
Frightening figure but way short of £37B |  |

Cheers, I hadn’t heard that one answered anywhere.
I mean there’s no doubt track and trace is a mess, but the testing is, after some false starts, pretty monumental. We’ve had nine in my house over the past week for one reason and another. | |

It is important to separate the two though.
Test and Trace hasn't been a success from Day 1.
Talk of operators sitting about with nothing to do; private firms being paid a fortune for virtually nothing, acting as and taking huge sums of money for being little more than agents.
A system that wouldn't load onto a great number of Smart phones...
That is a different set-up to the testing system itself and it does need investigating thoroughly.
For every million wasted through incompetence and/or wilful ignorance that is hard cash that could have been spent purposefully on projects that are in desperate need and yet readily overlooked, as you will no doubt know yourself from your own line of worthwhile expertise. |  |
