simonmaginn We should be absolutely, very angry

We should be angrier but they make should frequent cock ups we have anger fatigue! They depend on it I suspect to get the next horror past us.

From what I have read the PPE is not of a usable standard How can this incompetence be allowed to continue? This looks to be equivalent to that Seaborne Freight company You remember BREXIT ferry company **WITH NO SHIPS OR EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING A FERRY COMPANY** BoTCHED JoB!?!

We ate but the oapers & news aren’t

We should be angry at this Govt. Full stop.

It's not a mistake, it's out and out ToryCorruption

It's no mistake

It’s not a mistake. It’s blatant corruption. To think that people are put in jail for claiming a few quid extra on their benefits and those in power sweep millions under the carpet Scott free. Society is broken enabled by the media. ToryCorruption LizTruss

We are very angry, incandescant, but until the media start to question those in charge and demand answers instead of being complicit in this corruption, we have to rely on people like JolyonMaugham to bring it into the public arena!

simonmaginn We also shouldn't be calling it a 'mistake'; it's blatant fraud.

It should be the headlines on every single newspaper/news channel but we know it won’t be because the MSM are part of the problem

Be angry at China’s Regime who gave the world coronavirus & control the supply chains, forcing every nation to bid at hiking prices for bad quality PPE. Mistake was trusting China’s off shoring benefits, strangled when in crisis. Point the media gun at the instigator.

Angrier? We should be incandescent! This Conservatives government is corrupt

I’m fuming about almost everything these corrupt charlatans do, but complicit media, and living in a Tory heartland means I’m voiceless

Whst

Yes. Before this rule 1 in any situation was protect yourself 1st. That went by the wayside almost instantly. My colleagues are dead because of this absolute failure.

I'm angry, apoplectic. What can we do ffs

All you do is try and stoke anger. But we just laugh at you. Enemy of the People.

Opinion: Channel 4's weight loss programme reinforced the government's dangerous obesity strategyI understand the need to tackle obesity, but we should be taking an holistic approach which includes a more positive conversation about food Well said x I agree. The problem with this & other weight loss programmes is they are portrayed as quick wins involving temporary changes. No. It is about sustained sensible approaches which result in slow healthy weight loss and lifestyle changes. Changing our attitude to food & exercise.
