Alas, The Gloves Are Still On

Those of you who are making a fuss about the political affiliations of the interviewees on Panorama, who would you have had instead? That is not a rhetorical question. Who, exactly?

In any case, either they really are counting each pair of gloves as two items of PPE, or they are not. And so on.

There were no gowns, visors, swabs or body bags in the Government’s pandemic stockpile when Covid-19 hit the United Kingdom. Is that the case, or is it not?

Nor can I see why you are making such a fuss about Panorama. The BBC, which barely trailed it, is now pretending that it was never commissioned or broadcast. 

It knows that there is no Opposition to pick this up. Only people who want to go back to the NHS privatisation of the Blair years, before which there was no such concept beyond the wilder shores of pseudo-academia.

Even so, let nothing you dismay. The Budget of March 2020 has ended the era that began with the Budget of December 1976. The Centre is the think tank for this new era. Please give generously.
