Carbuncle Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 "Tens of thousands of people died who didn't need to die," is a Dominic Cummings' quote used by a number of today's newspapers. Why did it take so long for this central truth to bubble to the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone prove that statement - it sounds emotive, and I sympathise with those who died, and those they left behind - but can anyone prove it?

Mister M Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Listening to LBC, There are questions being asked at the very minute about the 'protective ring' put around care homes last year & whether people were discharged into care homes from hospitals without having a COVID test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for completeness, I believe the cost a domestic public inquiry will be a huge amount of taxpayer's money which could be put to better use. If only the protective ring placed around care homes was as strong as the protective ring now being thrown around Government ministers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did it take so long for this central truth to bubble to the top? What central truth? Did they die solely because of covid? Did they die because they smashed their head against the wall 1500 times coincidentally after they tested positive to covid? Did they die because they took a flying leap in the middle of the M1 coincidentally after they took a positive test to covid? Where's the figures. Where is the clear unbiased context. Where is the detailed peer reviewed analytic breakdown of all the reasons why these people died and why allegedly it is solely the fault of the current government. Who knows? A person who certainly doesn't know is disgruntled ex-employee Dominic Cummings doing his wild speculation and pot stirring in some desperate revenge. I hope Mr Cummings is being paid well for this debacle. The amount of bridges he is burning and feathers he is ruffling with his behaviour is quite something. He's extremely lucky he doesnt live in a country where he'd have to be keeping one eye over his shoulder after all this.

You never know with Spaffer Johnson, he once threatened to get a journalist roughed up and he’s got a few Russian mates as well, and we’re well aware of the sort of stuff they get up to.

Where is your evidence that he doesn’t know, and that he’s just pot stirring? Do you have the figures in a clear unbiased context to evidence your claim?
