This week on “So What You’re Stating Is …”: Dr. David Starkey argues that a calamitous series of occasions and choices triggered a panicked British federal government to recklessly desert its reasonable coronavirus prepare for one that is most likely to harm the nation far more than the virus itself.
Comparing this infection with historical pandemics Starkey thinks the dire scenario we are encountering today has a different cause. Starkey argues, the Conservative government was correct to follow a comparable path to Sweden which was far more relaxed than in other places in Europe.
This method matched Prime MInister Boris Johnson’s libertarian attitude and personality. On a single weekend there was a disastrous confluence of occasions and decisions that triggered the Tory government to panic (Northwick Park medical facility overwhelmed, Imperial College modelling revealing prospective 500,00 deaths and so on) and implement an extreme lockdown without any strategy to deal with the epidemic. It was merely an objective to protect the NHS.
Secure the NHS: The Tory Government, says Dr. Starkey, was desperate not to be seen as responsible or the NHS being overwhelmed. Eager to show to the conventional Labour “Red Wall” that the Conservative Party really was their natural home, the British government prioritised the NHS’s capability to deal with Covid-19 over everything else– however disastrously this included its treatment of cancer patients etc. A strange and unprecdented abandoning of the Hippocratic oath that we have not seen in other countries, argues Starkey.
