Some people are making the case that the English Government's policy position on COVID this Autumn 2021 is an experiment to see what will happen as they allow the virus to spread without mitigations in place, given that there is a large part of population vaccinated. Our school children, a cohort that is largely unvaccinated, are being exposed to the virus. Epidemiologists know what will happen.

The question then is why is the English Government doing this? Bullies will always seek to exploit any new emerging vulnerabilities within any group or situation where they hold degrees of power.
Take the matter of crony contracts issued without tender process, or transparency at the time, many of which minted new millionaires and multi millionaires over night, at the stroke of a pen, the click of an email sent, the posting of a text message.

Priti Patel, David Cameron, Samir Jassal - the un-Masked Raiders of COVID Kit Budgeting
Contracts for PPE at twice the price of the going market rate at the time!
The Good Law Project unearthed these details in the courts, extracting the evidence in spite of robust Government resistance. A government more properly called a misManagement, Minting Millionaires over night, whilst exposing the UK population to a really nasty pathogen, by neglect.
"The bare facts of what Good Law Project has learned about the Pharmaceuticals Direct contracts – two have so far been published, for £28.8m and £102.6m – are extraordinary."
Imagine this : one contract revealed that the masks supplied were priced at more than twice the going rate, netting a clear take home profit of over £50 million, for almost no work other than doubling the price on the contract papers. In spite of other suppliers offering the exact same products at the lower price. And having active Cabinet level ministers lobbying across departments on behalf of the beneficiaries of these contracts. Emails back and forth between the beneficiaries, Priti Patel, Matt Hancock and other officials, as this video shows. Well worth a watch.
On Covid there was one area where Conservative ministers weren’t incompetent - delivering huge contracts to their donors. Pass it on.pic.twitter.com/W01weUZHYu

£50 million for typing 6 characters! Minting Millionaires as a favour.
Matt Hancock’s position, as set out in legal documents provided to Good Law Project, is ‘nothing to see here’: his lawyers say that PPE Direct Limited made offers to supply PPE through the public portal.
Friends with benefits
David Cameron had a neat job with Greensil, that netted him a cool £7 million we are told. He was able to use his direct contacts with acting Cabinet ministers to further his employers desires for business. So much easy cash sloshing around these slick politicians.
Crony contracts that this Government doled out are mapped out on this rather adept website. An interactive visualization of the links between Tory politicians and firms winning government contracts by Sophie E. Hill - take your time to peruse the layers of friendship and association of the Conservative Party COVID cash cow milking parlour.
Effectively this behaviour amounts to political bullies exploiting an emerging vulnerability and using the power of high office to enrich contacts and associates, and then using that power to get away with mismanagement that leads directly to avoidable death and disease amongst the vulnerable population.
Sajid Javid was not involved in any of this, as far as I can tell.
He was working part-time as an advisor. However his 'part-time' work with JP Morgan Chase in between his ministerial roles suggests he would not be much bothered by this kind of arrangement. After all, he was a lead in developing CDOS, which were a scheme to resell bad debts, repackaged as solid investments to unwary investors - a behaviour that led directly to the financial crash on 2008.

There's a documentary about this kind of thing, Inside Job, that is worth viewing as generalist introduction to this level of quasi legal corruption.
Anyway, that was then.
This is now. COVID infection rates are rising across educational settings and elsewhere. New cases are rising to 42,000 per day, (Government figures) or 70.000 (ZOE), deaths are running at above 100 per day, close to the anecdotal 1000 a week 'acceptable level', each death a pretty horrid process, and Sajid Javid is very much responsible for that state of affairs, he is the Health Secretary - between 4 October 2021 and 10 October 2021, 5,423 were admitted into hospital with coronavirus.
The front page of the Mail on Sunday on July 4th 2021 ran a quote from Javid declaring that "opening up will make us healthier" due to a backlog of NHS cases exacerbated from the pandemic. That backlog has not subsided in any measure since that optimistic declaration.

Given the multiple reports and studies and papers that lay out the catastrophic mismanagement of the COVID19 epidemic in England culminating with the recent Health and Social Care, and Science and Technology Select Committee Report I would suggest that the 45 million adults in the UK need to see this video, we need to view it and then to read this summary, at least three times.

Lyrics:
There is a house on Downing Street
They call it number ten,
It’s been the ruin of many a fair country
Now they are doing it again.
They could have avoided importing the virus
They could have stopped the spread
But they decided to play at being supermen
They let it transmit instead
Then when it was clear it was beyond control
They shut the whole country down
But they did not implement the strategy
We needed to stop it now
Our elders were made into a vector
Of this viral spread
Sent from hospitals without a test
To care homes to die in bed.
There is a house on Downing Street
They call it number ten,
It’s been the ruin of many a fair country
Now they are doing it again.
Furlough was given to corporate staff
three million excluded, left high and dry
They gave crony contracts to their best friends
Millionaires were made over night
Then they let it run again,
Into a second wave
The bodies piled high as People got sick,
And so we were digging many more graves
We were grieving in the thick of it
Dido’s Test and Trace was a costly farce
Lost track of the virus, cash went off shore
The vaccine was made of European co-operation
And NHS volunteers at the core.
Johnson claims the kudos he seeks all the praise,
Cummings denies responsibility
They scapegoat the people they have mislead
They’re destroying this country.
There is a house on Downing Street
They call it number ten,
It’s been the ruin of many a fair country
Now they are doing it again.
Now they’ve opened up again, the virus is on the rise
Spreading like wildfire
With no guarantee it won’t be a Health disaster,
From the the frying pan into the fire
Living with the Johnson Government and The English Ruling Class is a domestic abuse situation at population level or scale. Here's a blog article I wrote laying out the reasons I made this assessment.
So here's a few suggested markers, the dynamic roles that play out in the classic domestic abuse family dynamic. I'd be happy to read your critiques of these, with examples, to refine this study
The Abuser - Boris Johnson and the Cabinet, The English Ruling Class, the prevailing Establishment of Power rooted in the Extracted Accumulated Wealth Party, aka the Oligarchy
The Abuser - Boris Johnson and the Cabinet, The English Ruling Class, the prevailing Establishment of Power rooted in the Extracted Accumulated Wealth Party, aka the Oligarchy
The Enabler - The right wing media, the so-called left wing media, the centrist media, the Churches, Parliament and other public institutions that refuse to speak the whole truth.
The Hero - Idealised images of Nurses, Policemen, Troops, Doctors - Personalities such as Farage, Rees-Mogg, Tommy Robinson, National Icons that distract from the wounds by claiming British 'Spirit' etc..
The Scapegoat - Immigrants, the poor, the low income workers, the Blacks, the Browns, the Whites, the China Virus
The Lost Child - The Establishment Arts that refuses confront the truth, Britain's Got Talent, people groomed by Conspiracy Theory, Cultism etc..
The Mascot - The Queen, The Flag, The Establishment Arts, Parliament
These are all broad generalisations, and there needs to be a robust discussion around how truthful each of these elements of our Society are, and to what extent they are failing in their duty of care to the population they serve, in the face of this intolerable situation.
