UK Covid death toll

[Derek Hardballs]

Does anyone else find the faux hand wringing of right wingers suddenly caring about the poorest and most vulnerable hugely hypocritical? They cut public health by 40%, cut support for the disabled, placed millions on Universal Credit plunging many into further debt, allowed the gap between rich and poor to grow, cut youth services, slashed budgets to local government who in turn cut budgets in libraries, front line services, support for local charities etc but now we are to believe they care!

I don’t recall any concern during the austerity years, in fact some seemed to enjoy slashing budgets as some sort of righteous campaign against the undeserving poor. I say bah him bug to their ‘concern’.
