Lets be absolutely clear - at the centre of the infected blood scandal, as so many other 'scandals' involving institutions riding rough-shod over the interests & well-being of ordinary people (see the posted list & additions in my timeline over the weekend) is one thing:
People in power lying to those whose lives have been ruined.
LYING... not making mistakes, not misunderstanding... LYING.
This is the culture that infects our political & social 'elites'; being (very) comfortable lying to us!
There's minimal political / electoral accountability in the UK particularly with the two-party stranglehold enabled by FPTP. There's no incentive for a truly strategic approach to citizens' well-being when shit can be shovelled under the carpet for the next "administration" to deal with and liars can operate with impunity and public inquiries are simply show trials (as in the case of Covid 19 in Scotland).
@ChrisMayLA6 these privileged smug lying arseholes in positions of power have done so much damage that I would actually support a life sentence for anybody caught doing it, their lies over the post office, Hillsborough, Brexit, immigration, Covid, the EU & everything else that has actually led to the pain, suffering & the deaths of innocent people should be met with the harshest & most aggressive punishment available, strip them of their wealth to pay for the damage they caused with their lies.
