NHS Procurement Official Privately Selling PPE

The Guardian, 01 May 2020, Revealed/NHS Procurement Official Privately Selling PPE

It was only a matter of time before this sort of story became headline news.

I am sure this will be seen in some quarters as 'just someone making a living during these hard times'. Except that this is someone involved in procurement at what the Guardian identifies as a 'senior official'.

I know this is the 'natural' outcome from capitalism but I can only hope some good will come from this. That anyone that is on the fence as to whether capitalism really would trade peoples lives and safety for money will finally have that question answered.

I sincerely hope this guy doesn't have any family that is dependent on the likes of my wife who is on the front line of a Covid-19 ward. Let's hope that the nurse or doctor that could have been treating one of his loved ones isn't themselves sick from Covid-19 due to not having the right PPE or for that matter ANY PPE.

UK Government Cowardly Representative says "people are 'addicted' to the furlough scheme"

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/07/we-need-to-build-on-the-furlough-scheme-not-cut-it-to-avoid-mass-unemployment A Return to the 80's for the UK? This article, rightly, makes the point that forcing people back to work during a pandemic when the status of who's been infected, who hasn't and if there is anyone resistant to Covid-19 is unknown. That's before we understand exactly what a second and third wave of this will be like and do to the wider community. However, the line that really chimed with me was the opening one: "A senior government source warned yesterday that people are “addicted” to the furlough scheme. “We have to get people back to work,” he said. If you are outside the UK and younger than I, to be honest, that's probably 90% of those reading this, you may not be familiar with the modern industrial history and why a stupid, crass and clearly ignorant comment like that from the ruling class would "chime...

What does lethal state violence look like? 1991 onwards will show you

I don't see a common interest in the murder of the populous by state agents at any time. This video is a brief discussion of the legal lethal violence as used by the state and particularly through police forces. Let me have your thoughts. I'd be grateful. Cheers.
