What connects the following:

DWP carer's prosecutions;

Windrush deportations;

Infected blood scandal victims;

The Post Office Horizon IT injustice.

... The complete disregard for how an institution's actions & inactions impact on those at the bottom of the 'pyramid' & the subsequent attempt to evade responsibility for the harm caused when publicised.

(you'll have other you'd like to add to the list, I'm sure)

A damning picture of misused power & disregard for others.

@ChrisMayLA6 and let’s not forget Grenfell

What sickens me is not just the attempt to evade responsibility, it’s the systemic way in which accountability is consistently denied, meaning nobody and no institution responsible for these horrors can ever be held to account. Indeed, so long as you are from the “right” class, you are persistently rewarded for failure. We need only look at the privatised water industry and other utilities

@ChrisMayLA6 I agree. But argue for a deeper level too
A mean minded "cliff edge" benefit that removed 100% of the entitlement for going 0.001% over the threshold
Mean minded failure to ensure Windrush generation were secure
Mean minded willingness to let cost concerns override medical safety
Mean minded assumption that Post mast/mistresses were all potential crooks who would put their hands in the till given a chance.
i.e. A terrible dismissal of ordinary people as being of no account

@ChrisMayLA6 Is the Government’s whole handling of the Covid response too monumental to put on the list in one lump?

How about Hillsborough?
