They sat on it until Bojo wanted rid The alternative is even more worrying. Then why does boris not sit tight ? There is no positive to be had by comming out and saying apologies accepted ,case closed ,you plebs just carry on doing as your told / conned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who and why? b) who put a cctv camera in a smoke detector? c) BJ stood by him and then tried to imply he had sacked him after he resigned d) Within hours of being given the Health job, Sajid Javid was clearly taking a 'back to normal' tone. without having time to consider all the data. Now call me a cynic, but c) and d) makes a) and b) very interesting. Don't forgot Johnson thought Hancock was totally f*****g useless a year ago. He also thought the track and test system was a joke, just before he told the nation it was world beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he didn't want to sack him for incompetence reasons. Maybe some people are pulling strings behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's hard to see how Boris could sack any minister ever, if he held them to his own standards. ariotofmyown, EtoileSportiveDeDerby and DesertRam 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paymasters have grown tired of their lackeys' endless procrastinations, one suspects. Can't let Bezos have all the fun, can they? Also serves as a timely reminder to Boris and co as to who is really in charge and a handy fall guy for the non-tendered contracts thrown around like confetti last year. Probably be rewarded with a peerage somewhere down the line. Edited June 29, 2021 by 86 Hair Islands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We are so very lucky to have University Hospitals doing this kind of research. It will be a great comfort to many in the NHS and Care Sector more generally to know that if there were ever to be a virus in this Country the quality of the mask they wear will be vital. I do hope this news filters down to the NHS Purchasing Department.
