Parts of NHS may be overwhelmed by Covid wave, admits Boris Johnson https://t.co/Yj8iZAnIfA

— The Guardian (@guardian) January 4, 2022

Boris Johnson just essentially admitted the NHS is going to be battered in the coming weeks but his view is we "just need to get through it".

But not everyone will make it, some will die either from Covid or other mistakes and NHS staff will be broken, some permanently so.

Dear media,

At today’s Covid press conf please bear in mind that an NHS ‘critical incident’ means that trust can no longer care for patients safely. Implication: pressures are such that patients may be harmed/die.

We said this would happen & were ignored.https://t.co/07iNXyMZeM

The part that these recent media stories seem to miss is this: THESE MAGAS KNOW JANUARY 6TH WAS WRONG.

They know insurrection and sedition when they see it. They know it was an attempt to overthrow the government.

But they can't admit it was THEM. https://t.co/mCQzXjC92Q

Whatever happens with the Giuffre vs Prince Andrew case today, the position is that a senior member of the royal family is seeking to use a legal loophole, a technicality, to avoid scrutiny over claims of sexual abuse. That is totally unacceptable.

— Stig Abell (@StigAbell) January 4, 2022

Most shocking to me is that Prince Andrew's attorney wanted the judge to say NY's law giving child sexual abuse victims more time to sue is unconstitutional.

This would have blocked access to justice for so many victims.

Does the Queen know what her son is attempting to do?

Can’t get my head around a family that throws Prince Harry to the wolves whilst protecting Prince Andrew with every ounce of its energy, but they’ve always been a psychiatric conference agenda.

No idea why their ongoing untouchable position in our society is deemed sustainable.

🩸At first glance, the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes seems merely a tale of technological hubris.

Yet the story of how she bamboozled and bewitched America’s great and good as she propelled the empty promise of Theranos, is so much more
