buctootim Posted 16 May, 2020 Share Posted 16 May, 2020 Interesting article in The Mail online about the Welsh health & social care response to Covid, which of course is devolved & run by Welsh Labour. Let’s hope Sir Kier is “ forensic” when asking Mark Drakeford about those failings Meh. You need to rely on facts and stats when analysing success or failure, not lap up journo agendas. Fact 1 Starmer was questioning Johnson on care home deaths. Fact 2 Wales has a far lower rate of care home deaths due to Covid-19 than England.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 16 May, 2020 Share Posted 16 May, 2020 Meh. You need to rely on facts and stats when analysing success or failure, not lap up journo agendas. Fact 1 Starmer was questioning Johnson on care home deaths. Fact 2 Wales has a far lower rate of care home deaths due to Covid-19 than England. I’m interested in facts. Did labour promise 9k tests a day? Have they met that target? Do they test people living in care homes with less than 50 residents? Until recently were they still chucking people out of hospitals into care homes, without testing them? Did they tell people in North Wales to call 111 if they felt ill? Does 111 exist in north wales? Sir Starmer obviously feels like you, that the extra 1k deaths in welsh care homes compared to last year is “meh”. Who cares about them? No political capital to gain.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I think its fantastic you are so passionate about political leadership during the time of this pandemic, and you are so frustrated by political leaders and their disgraceful failings on testing and care homes. I agree that all political leaders in this country are responsible for their decisions and must be questioned and challenged on their failings. Mark Drakeford should be brought to account just like all the UK government leaders should be questioned unrelentingly, challenging unrelentingly, and like you, I agree those people need to be totally held to account. You'll definitely be doing that, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 17 May, 2020 Share Posted 17 May, 2020 It's amazing how people are only prepared to hold to account the government's they don't support and blindly fall in line when it's their mob in the spotlight. Criticism of the government should be regarded as just being that, criticism of the government. It's completely childish to see it only as Tory bashing and to wilfully defend them at any costs, surley this is the opposite to our role as good citizens.

You'll definitely be doing that, right? Believe it or not, i haven’t really got any influence, it’s not really my job to hold politicians to account. It is Sir Kier Starmers & if the Tories were in charge of Welsh health & social care he would be doing so in Wales as well as England. Surely Welsh voters deserve that, after all he’s their voice in the UK Parliament. If it was my job, I’d like to think I’d be above the petty party politics Sir Kier Starmer is indulging in, but we’ll never know. One thing we will know is how this will play in Wales at the next election. Look what happened when Labour took Scottish voters for granted, and then look at Welsh voting trends.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk By "hold to account" I obviously mean write posts/ask questions/raise issues on here, we all know this is a football forum after all. But you are writing very concerned posts about the decisions made that impact the poor suffering people of Wales. I was just wondering whether this concern and worry about the Welsh you are showing, and the questioning of political decisions by political leaders in Wales could ever translate to similar posts from you about one of the many other countries around the world. England and the leadership of the whole UK, maybe? Do you think that when this crisis is reviewed in a full public enquiry several years from now, do you think the final report will pinpoint, as the source of the most mistakes, the biggest failures and the most catastrophic decisions, to be Mark Drakeford and Kier Starmer?

I’d imagine they’ll be a whitewash. Some establishment figure will throw a couple of nobodies under a bus. If I was to bet on it, I’d imagine it’ll eventually dawn on the great unwashed that there was an overreaction & the damage to the economy wasn’t worth the amount of lives saved. However, everybody from the civil service to the Government & via the opposition have a vested interest in justifying the severe lockdown, so this won’t be spelt out in stark terms. Why will this be any different than any other enquiry, they always get away with it. Anyone hoping The Tories & Boris will face a day of reckoning, is going to be severely disappointed.

Geordie Greig, as per the article above, was the previous MoS editor who is now in charge of the Daily Mail. Greig was a remainer, hence the MoS previous support for the UK to remain in Europe. He was still a Tory, but not an ardent Labour hating one. The MoS was well known for running stories which rubbished Daily Mail articles from earlier in the week. This was all mainly due to a power struggle between Greig and previous Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre. Hope that explains it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
