The problem now is from those who were annoyed he didn't agree to one at the time as now he has announced one and they have got what they wanted the results will obviously be a whitewash and not to their liking despite it being independant. Can you name one successful major public enquiry that didn't need at least two attempts to get right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of a public inquiry is for the authorities to learn lessons of what went wrong, and what went right; so that God forbid, should we have another pandemic, future Governments will have the results of the inquiry to refer back to.

Doesn't matter whether I'm happy with it or not somebody in charge must feel the previous enquiry wasn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only countries who have experienced it before knew the risks. It barely made the news in the first few weeks, and if after a few cases Britain had said, "right there are a few thousand cases of pnuemonia on the other side of the world"... Brits, would all go home and stay quiet for 3 months? It will say, 10,000 lives could have been saved if x wasn't done 7 days earlier 23,000 """""" 127,000 """" Now we've all experienced a pandemic, the main thing that we ALL will learn, is next time a new virus emerges... take it seriously! Really, we have got off quite lightly as a world. If this virus had a high contigaious as it was, and much higher death rate... the whole world would be in complete chaos now.

But it wasnt a case of few cases of pneumonia on the other side of the world, it was tens of thousands in Western Europe and we waved them in to watch the football. Let's not change what happened, they'll be plenty to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
