Does Boris Johnson think he sounds noble and wise when he says says that when the pandemic is over “we will make sure we learn the lessons and reflect and prepare"?

Does he think that the gross inequalities in society, the impoverishment of people and public services, weren't
known and understood well before the pandemic brought them into focus? Illness and mortality rates amongst the poor were already soaring after a decade of misgovernment, cruel half-baked ideology, arrogance and exceptionalism.
But Boris Stormcrow stumbles on, fearful of science and fact, terrified of ERG and CRG, testicles gripped by the pseudo-philosophers of Telegraph and Mail. He will not change, he cannot change. He will paper over some cracks with ill-thought sops to Northern constituencies, he
will fudge another minor pay rise to a few nurses and then he'll carry on ladling out the country's wealth to the one global power he understands - Serco and G4S and the international funds that own them, egged on by Gove and Baker and the rest of the banshee crowd of death.
Oh, there'll be a few inquiries - we can almost write the reports now, with the same old excuses and the blame directed anywhere but at those responsible. We won't see ministers in the dock, we won't see the Camerons and the Osbornes in Belmarsh for years of savage cuts and
wasted opportunities and for a nation-destroying Brexit. We will see a coterie of public school clowns, Tory boys all, preaching an undefined equality while necking the expense account champers and continuing to trash the UK like it were some Knightsbridge restaurant on a
Bullingdon night out.
Sickening.
Sickening.
