I know on good authority that there's one thing the "Deaths in hospitals" qualifier that's been used for the Covid death toll for the last month neglects to include: number of NHS staff deaths

While the number wouldn't catastrophically increase the death toll like including numbers who died in care homes has, as the death tolls for NHS staff is around 100-120 as things stand, what it does do is once again show how little the Tories actually care about NHS workers outside of being seen by the cameras clapping for them every Thursday

Staggering. Bad enough that it happened, but to be dismissed as justifiable because he was a robbery suspect (based on he looked like the suspect - and we all know what that means) is truly shocking.
The clip I saw of Trump visiting the factory recently where the song on the tannoy was Live and Let Die. It sums up his virus response, and seemingly the whole country's criminal justice system.

Companies owned by Trump's campaign manager,Brad Parsdale, have received nearly $40 million from the President's re-election commitees.according to a new report.
I wonder who donated $40 million + to re-elect Danger Man?
 
Yesterday the corvid 19 death toll topped 30'000, that is what the government will admit to, all our msm could do was scream about some government advisor who's playing away from home , am I being cynical to believe that these front pages were to deflect from the fact we now have the second highest death toll in the world
