What will remain galling for those still suffering the lingering effects of Covid, those who lost loved ones, and those who suffered from the isolation, is that all of those named and shamed by the report will, in all likelihood, suffer no personal material detriment as a result, and will continue to enjoy their comfortable lives. Their reputations, such as they are, will be further undermined, and they will (or more accurately should) feel some sense of shame. But that’s the most they will suffer.

What the work of the Hallett inquiry once again evinces is a great sense of injustice, of innocent people wronged by a negligent political culture. Is there any hope that Mr Johnson and others will face up to what they did wrong?

And worse. I think Hancock probably tried his best, unwise personal relationships aside. His successor would be someone like Victoria Atkins who was last seen trying to accuse the government of causing a farmer's suicide.

His best? An incompetent charlatan and a crook. People like him don't have a 'best'.

My friend the consultant thought he wasn't too bad. You haven't seen Victoria Atkins lately.

Once Bozo did engage properly, they played it pretty straight during the first lockdown. Which of course is no more than we should expect, but I don't know if you'd get that now. You'd have Kemi and all immediately going for the cheapest politics. Which is what Bozo did at the start of the winter lockdown, of course.

And not one of them will be imprisoned for so much as a day, be fined so much as a minute's income nor suffer the slightest bit of inconvenience. Their apathy, incompetence, arrogance and stupidity killed tens of thousands and not one of them will think they did anything wrong.

I think he was bent as a dog's hind leg and incompetent to a murderous degree.

And getting something half-right after a year of getting it disastrously wrong does not absolve guilt or evade blame.
