The Grim Leader (the Flatulent One’s predecessor) told us unequivocally, “there is no magic money tree.”  She had no alternative but to cut – or continue cutting – funding for the police, school, libraries and the NHS (although she did manage to find a few bob for the “Democratic” Unionists to shore up her time in office).

As a result, the NHS was grotesquely under-resourced when it began to deal with the pandemic; and as a result of that people have died.

The government have now tapped into a well of public funding that dwarfs anything of which Mrs May could have dreamt in her wildest nightmares.   The only conclusion possible is this:  the damage that has been done to the UK’s infrastructure and social resources during 10 years of Tory rule was wilful.
