Gavin Williamson prepares to blame school kids and parents for Covid spike
“Perfectly safe”: this photo was taken on a school staircase after Boris Johnson ruled that it was “perfectly safe” for children to go back there in September 2020 – no social distancing, no PPE… not safe at all. As schools reopened THIS September, NOTHING HAS CHANGED AT ALL.
We all saw this coming for a long time, didn’t we?
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has had a month and a half in which to install Covid-19 restricting measures – like improved ventilation – in schools.
He has done nothing.
And now, with schools across the UK reopening again for the autumn term, the dunce at the Department for Education is telling parents any increase in Covid infections will be their fault.
That’s right.
The new Conservative Government plan to deal with the coming wave of Covid-19 is…
This, this, and this again.
The Tories will blame our kids for COVID
Magnificent from @Cornish_Damo as always

Total and utter abdication of duty of care to citizens. We have a homicidal government. There is no other word for them. https://t.co/ZBi2l4uRK6

Parents are understandably anxious – and angry

Unbelievable 18 months into this pandemic that schools are not required to provide adequate ventilations in classrooms. And that concerned parents/children are offered support for 'anxiety', not hepa-filtered air. Under Gavin Williamson we truly are in the Dark Ages of reason. https://t.co/AeFg6WIg5D

Gavin Williamson is an arse! I have senior responsibility in a school but I am finished I intend to retire . 2 years of utter incompetence after 9 years of austerity. Kids are being thrown under a bus just as afghans, Covid victims and the country have been. #johnsonout

This parent makes the concerns clear:
We are 18 months into this. There are public health measures which we know work to mitigate the spread of covid, including ventilation, masks and vaccination.
The majority of our children are being denied these measures in the indoor spaces…

The impact of this are potentially disastrous. We will see cases rise in young people, but also in older age groups with all the attendant consequences (illness, hospitalisations and deaths and Long covid).
For me this is totally unacceptable.

It seems clear that the plan for keeping schools clear of Covid is exactly as described in this parody account:

Meanwhile, the virus is spreading across the UK, with the restriction of its spread caused by the school holidays eliminated:
It really isn't over. Stay as safe as you can everyone #Covid19UK pic.twitter.com/yKkaybry7W

Over the past 7 days, I make it that 907 people have died of Covid (60 day rule).
Are people really ok with this?

Meanwhile, let’s remember the Tories’ real policy for dealing with Covid-19:
$11 billion covid contracts went to companies run by friends & associates of Tory MPs
Government by burner phone

So, as your children succumb to infection because they’re being ordered to attend badly-ventilated classrooms before they’ve had a chance to be vaccinated, just remember that all this suffering is vital for Conservative government ministers and their friends to make a fat wad of money.
