I can& #39;t watch Johnson& #39;s speech. I just can& #39;t. Stirring & sincere it may be, but there is sth so craven about embracing a sentimental attachment to the NHS & its staff having laughed & cheered when nurses were denied a raise & working to rid the NHS of immigrant workers

I suppose a grim, terse & #39;thanks& #39; and back to the usual Tory business would seem worse, but somehow it wouldn& #39;t be; because it would mean their anti-NHS policies were implemented as a matter of thoughtful principle for its/the public good, & not bc they& #39;re nakedly driven by >

...I dunno - greed; & power at any cost.

It all disgusts me in a fashion I can hardly articulate and I& #39;m so angry and I& #39;m so sad

Imagine being so empty of principle, empathy & imagination you can treat nurses & immigrants with contempt UNLESS AND UNTIL they hold vigil by your bedside

It& #39;s UNSPEAKABLE

And perfectly intelligent people sharing the video: and saying - fair fucks, gotta hand it to the lad, he means it, that was nice, quite moving in it& #39;s way

I& #39;m telling you now: nothing - NOTHING- has ever more nakedly exposed the rot at the core.
