That non-apology about insufficient PPE was just insulting to everyone. Absolutely appalling.

Probably as its part of pandemic action planning and risk assessment which larger charities and official bodies are nornally involved with. I know in previous pandemic training exercises that the Council, Police, Health, Third Sector etc that I was involved in this came up, also school closures, custody officers being infected, community cohesion., child welfare concerns etc. So if you are thinking it came out of the blue no.The extra money (which as always in the case of domestic abuse is insufficient for an area thats never been properly funded and frequently cut, would have been earmarked weeks ago and released as soon as Councils , DV charites and Police sent in the data.was this not highlighted by charities and official bodies in advance of the lock down
How many people did the government, social services and the police let down in the course of 3 weeks
Crime is down because its not be monitored
Can't answer your second question prob millions but the same question is pertinent to many many countries tbh especially the personal economic ramifications and the failure to enforce safe working conditions.
There's no reason to think that crime isnt being monitored what so ever. If anything its a data rich area , the normal and more pertinent question would be too what extent is it being effectively tackled. Crime patterns will change in situations like this, they can't be predicted entirely but they are usually modelled ie online fraud /selling bogus cures will rise, deception thefts if people are in the garden front or back could increase, deception of vulnerable people could increase by people saying they'll go shopping for them and then not returning, assaults or abuse towards ethnic groups blamed for carrying the virus was an issue here and has been in other countries, assaults outside the home will probably fall due to no night time economy, street robbery might decrease. Then there are aggravating and mitigating factors over theft ie drug and alcohol treatment services being able to operate or not, neighbour disputes ie will community cohesion and sticking together prevail or will lockdown make it worse. all sorts of scenarios so any response has to be dynamic. Then of course there is the possible scenario of unrest/food shortages ad infinitum. .

They are really missing him at the moment; if this had happened under May then he would have done every press conference, making a horrific pigs ear of every second but staying there whilst the rest of the government sheltered behind him. Probably its a good thing for the country that he isn't a minister though, as more people would have died though from putting their foot through the TV.

What has happened to him? I mean, he must be fucking something up in the background, out of sight of the media...

Going to be on the Intelligence and Security Committee of the Commons, apparently. Though he could just have been told to guard a bee in the basement.

Fuck you Dave!
There was a doctor from Bradford on the BBC a little while ago really criticising this. He basically said anyone who uses the phrase "I'm sorry you feel that way" is lying they aren't sorry and it's not an apology.
I cheered!

I suppose he'd be useful on an intelligence committee as a kind of warning - "and THAT points at the gleaming Graylingpate is what lack of intelligence looks like. This is why we need intelligence".

I'm a bit of a twitter dunce, so am struggling to look at Hewertson's posting history to find out whether she's doing irony, or is for real...

19 year old Instagram Tory Brexit party girl with big tits and blond hair.
I googled so you don't have to.
Thanks for that.

The biggest cunt in government steeplechase continues with a fine effort here from the Home Secretary

You're right: there were a LOT of photos of her with her tits. Which is partly what made me think it might be a spoof account
. Perhaps I just thought that Tory women didn't have tits...

I like the comment that she should apologise for the error but would probably say she's sorry we feel she got it wrong.

The way you said that suggests you think that her gender has been a feature of the criticism. Which hasn't been my experience...

The 'her' in that last quote not referring to Patel but then keybored's point was about women in politics in general.You're right: there were a LOT of photos of her with her tits. Which is partly what made me think it might be a spoof account

I'm sorry, but if those comments about someone who purports to comment about politics on Twitter are being used to suggest that gender is being used about Patel, then that's bullshit.
Someone posts about Patel on Twitter - someone who, when one goes to find out if it's for real or not, has a linked Instagram page full of photos in which her cleavage features heavily. To comment on that, as an aspect of whoever that person is, is NOT commenting on "women in politics". At worst, it's commenting on some idiot who might think of herself as a "woman in politics".
I have always been very careful when slagging off politicians like Patel not to let her gender (or her ethnicity) be part of the issue, because it's irrelevant.
Anyone who's trying to conflate anything else I say with the idea that I am doing otherwise is reaching pretty fucking hard. And can get stuffed, frankly.

Well done. You remember cat good.
Wasn't gonna single you out because a few posts on this page are borderline Nuts Magazine, but do you really think political affiliation and bust size are linked?

was she not on Question time once crying that she would have to vote for the Brexit Party and not the Torys
I'm not talking about Patel BTW
reading further into it she is an online Tory activist
so her politics can be called into question as she was more than likely recruited for the just a normal girl who vote tory look
instagram feed also adds to this rather cynical push to grab votes

Patel is more mendacious than incompetent.
She came up with the idea of trying to starve the Irish into submission remember.
Utter scum whatever he gender or ethnicity.
Edit 'her'

I'd never seen her do a public performance. Yes, Diane Abbott was a bit 'unsure' on numbers, but her heart was always in the right place I think. This person doesn't appear to have an appealing bone in her body. And that's not being sexist or racist. Neither of which I am. She just came across as terrifyingly awful and useless. This whole thing has been so terribly mismanaged. I know South Korea and New Zealand are a bit smaller than us but they seem to have sorted this out a little more competently than this shower.
