If ever there was proof of the damage done by neoliberalism, this is it! The second wave (which killed 87,000 people in UK) was driven almost entirely by Sunak’s “eat out to help out”, and Johnson’s defying the experts to ‘save Christmas’.
It is extraordinary that you can kill tens of thousands of people with your obsession with the economy, and yet face absolutely no consequences.
Mind you, that’s nothing compared to the death toll that climate inaction will produce.

@KimSJ John McDonnell rightly called it social murder (though in relation to austerity) and was excoriated for it by both the press and politicians of all colours, as it was too rude.

This is a country where if you steal some bottles of water you go to prison, but if your policies kill thousands of people, you end up on the Board of the British Museum.
(Though come to think of it, that is fairly apt).
