In living memory, many of these children and young people would have been residents in long-stay hospitals - and of course it's a good thing that they have virtually all closed. But care in the community depends on the ability of the families to care 24/7 with the vital assessed support that they need to stay sane. The lockdowns exposed a bitter truth - caring families were effectively abandoned, and left to their own devices for months, and in a state of constant fear. None of this had ever been thought through, and it exposes the shallowness and dare I say - selfishness - of the lockdown policy, which was 'I'm all right Jack' for the laptop and political classes, and 'to hell with the hindmost' for the rest.

You know I can at least understand with the level of moronic,useless and self-serving UK politicians we have (who could not run a bath independently) creating this level of injury, damage and death to the vulnerable but how could our public health and medical institutions allow this neglect and harm to occur? because they did with enthusiasm to the level of madness with the “pandemic measures” they helped to construct. They knew what would happen but were completely indifferent to it, can anyone see a difference between the mindsets of the people in 2020 and the ones in 1930s Germany? I can’t.
