UK coronavirus deaths hit 62,000 – no wonder Johnson only appears for PMQs
Boris Johnson has presided over the deaths of more than 62,000 UK citizens by failing to handle the Covid-19 crisis in any way that could be described as competent.
Sixty-two thousand.
That’s more than one-and-a-half times the number of people who died in the Blitz.
And you know, Johnson likes to pretend he’s like one of the leaders in that conflict.
… but he seems more like the one who ended up hiding in an underground bunker.
Has anyone seen him?
He only ever seems to come out for Prime Minister’s Questions, when even Keir Starmer manages to make a fool of him.
Britain deserves better.*
Update: following today's hospital data, a cautious estimate of the number of UK excess deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic up to 18 May is
62,100
Of these, we know 51,441 have occurred, the rest are estimates.
Today, I have assessed the numbers I have been posting

ONS today report that for 17 days in a row more than 1,000 people died every single day from Coronavirus.
Not sure UK government admitted to a singe day where that figure was over 1,000.
During those 17 days we were ‘managed’. Just like we are being managed now.

*The whole of the UK deserves better, but I decided on the snappier slogan. Sorry.

Why are we not demanding Tory Boris finally fully runs away and calls a snap early general election, by 100 per cent postal voting, and sole reason to hold such an election in a pandemic, is to encourage the National Health Action party to run, and say we will vote them into government, as medical professionals as MPS and Prime Minister in government ruling parliament.
We would need to vote solely NHA party, and not Tory, Lib Dems nor Labour (save for a small voting area called Islington North), as NHA would need 326 MPs to form a government.
Starmer does not make Tory Boris look a fool. The rich are egging Starmer on just enough to discredit Tory Boris, so as to get a different version of Tory as Prime Minister, who will re-open the economy and get the workers back to work, even if it risks their lives and the lives of their families. The wealthy want peasants to earn them the riches, that come from us, buying stuff.
Starmer does not give a shit about our lives, pushing for easing of lockdown and re-opening of schools even more than the Tories. That the Tory newspapers are promoting Starmer, shows he is a Tory and not Labour in truth.
Write letters to your local paper, who need bold headlines as their circulation has dropped since lockdown.
Your plan won’t work.
I’ve checked my fridge – not there!
Fascist dictator Boris is responsible for causing the deaths of more than 62,000 women and men but as usual this vile cruel coward is hiding away from public scrutiny.
He only appears in public when it is within the safety of Houses of Parliament and even then only appears for the weekly PMQS!!
Wonder who the scroungers are? Well they aren’t the unemployed/disabled/long term sick women and men but they are the FASCIST TORIES!!
Dictator boris is earning a huge salary and he is not ‘value for money’ a term fascist tories delight in uttering whenever they decide to punish impoverished women and men!
UK needs a real government not this fascist cruel profit obsessed fascist tory one!
