If Johnson can blame care home managers for the Covid deaths within them, then we can blame Johnson for the Covid deaths within the UK!!
Care homes were forced to take patients with Covid (deliberately not tested)
Johnson could have closed the ports to Covid positive travellers, he didn’t
Care homes don’t get to set statutory sick pay
This government does and made it so derisory it’s a disincentive to isolating, a fact they knew and did little about. Everyone warned social care sectors in particular was vulnerable to that, he didn’t listen/care
When many care home staff moved in to their homes, missing their families, to look after their residents, Johnson took long weekends, sent others out to make statements then cancelled them when even they became too much effort
Care homes were operating WITHIN the policies, procedures and expectations HE set. How DARE he blame them yet take no blame himself
To be clear, I already did blame him, many of us did. But now he has openly made the case for the blame laying with him, he is the “manager” of the U.K.
