If Tories really regret not testing for Covid-19 in care homes – is it because they were caught?
Test: A Covid-19 test. The Tory government failed to secure enough of these – so it seems ministers deliberately decided to sacrifice care home residents to the disease.
The Conservative government made a conscious decision not to test for Covid-19 in care homes – while the disease was ripping through elderly and vulnerable residents.
That is what we’re hearing from inJustice Secretary Robert Buckland.
He says that, after ensuring that the UK would not have the capacity to test everybody who should have had tests, and while sending people who were known to be infected with Covid-19 back to care homes from hospital, the government decided not to test anybody there for the disease. It seems they were too busy testing people like Matt Hancock instead.
And he also says, “We’ve seen a great tragedy in our care homes which is a matter of huge regret.”
Okay – much of what has gone above is me reading between the lines. But you have to do that with Tories because they don’t give you all the information you need.
For example: is it “a matter of huge regret” that there has been “a great tragedy in our care homes”?
Or is it just regrettable that the public has “seen” it?
Don’t let yourself be fooled; if they could have covered up the excess deaths, that is what the Tories would have done – indeed, it is what they were trying to do.
The choices were all deliberate, though.
And they have resulted in at least 20,000 fewer people (so far) claiming pensions.
That is a huge saving for a Conservative government that hates paying money to the plebs – even though they know that we pay into the pension fund for this very purpose.
At the end of the day, we’re still left with two choices: either the Tories have been incompetent, in which case they should be removed from a position of power…
Or they have been homicidal, in which case they should be removed from society and spend the rest of their lives in prison.

But you have to remember Mike that on a basic pension like myself of £550 every 4 weeks that only nets a saving for them of £144 million per year. Not enough to pay for the furloughing or give their friends a good profit. Watch out for more deaths when they get their second and third spikes in full flow.
Exactly! And they’re already planning a way not be caught on wave-2 Covid and a botched Brexit.
