‘It is becoming increasingly difficult to write with any enthusiasm about the ongoing farce in SW1.’ - BrittaniQ #18

After all, once driving is made too expensive for us lowly ordinary citizens, the roads will be left to the pampered enjoyers of public-sector largesse.

Another sign of immaturity is that we're not asking key questions about the way we run the country or the NHS.

Trust will be eroded, concerns about the vaccine may worsen, and anti-vaccine attitudes could harden.

If the NHS is struggling this much, then there is more than just a staff issue; instead there is an administrative and structural issue.

As long as the institution is treated as an infallible deity to whom only further sacrifices must be made – a few more billion pounds here, a few months locked up inside there – nothing meaningful will change.

While the country thanked the NHS, erected murals, and clapped into the abyss, the country plunged further into catastrophe.

History will show that it was lockdown - rather than Covid - which snapped the NHS’s, and Britain’s, spine.
