Jill Rutter reaction to Covid Inquiry: This is not normal government behavior

FROM CHANNEL 4 NEWS

"We spoke to Tricia Barnett, who has spent the day at the Covid inquiry in central London. Tricia’s brother, Laurence, died of Covid in the week before the first lockdown in March 2020.

We also spoke to Jill Rutter from the UK in a Changing Europe – she spent most of her career in the civil service, including Number 10"

Not normal ? It's beyond comprehension. We need trials now

I think as a penalty they should take Boris Johnson's bodyguards away, no pension, no medical, his bank account Frozen and all of his expenses be subtracted out of his account.
Then he can do community service filling potholes until Nigel farage leaves the country.

All of these 🤡🤡🤡 will leave government & get another even better paid jobs because of who they know & the influence they have. There will never be accountability.

[patriciawhite]

The language used to describe work colleagues tells us all how they think of the populace.

[nickbird]

She talks about empathy. Burning 50 quid notes in front of homeless people gives an idea of the empathy those responsible at the time were capable of...

[ginashiel]

our thoughts too...we have a very dark force working in this government

[POWERtothePEOPLE-GP]

We need a general election. Not in January 2025. Not Autumn 2024. NOW!

[patrickdoyle]

We need a system where these Mf can be held to account and jailed if need be.. Then and only then will things work like they should.. Because as it stands these people are getting away with murder on a grand scale, and face no charges. That in it's self is madness, utter madness.

I’m astonished how many people didn’t sus it then ! Still gave their selves pay raise, expenses didn’t stop and no one is being taken to court over the deaths?

[billybob-jpeh]

The best and brightest of eton in charge sets the bar high.

[curlew-]

The time has come for anyone taking up positions of decision making for others should be cognitively tested before taking up office.

[georgeryan]

The language and the stupidity equate to a mindset of privilege and very expensive mainly private education add that to the fact that this was a cohort of people that hoodwinked the British public into voting for Brexit by feeding them lies and misinformation and have carried on with that format even to this day is it any wonder that we had such a disaster with Covid.

[brianeduardo]

What striking is that the Civil Servants acted with greater professionalism than political masters - and the use of all bad language is utterly shocking

[ianmccuaig]

Want my tax back for the last 14 years why should we pay unprofessional MPs and government officials when we could have had a primary one children doing a better job

[johnhawden]

I remember reading a Terry Pratchet book to my son in which it stated... to paraphrase (my memory fails)...'we lock up the politicians as soon as theyre elected...it saves time'

[gretareinarsson]

Unusual and/or unique circumstances show what governments are made of if they are actually fit to govern. Brexit snd Covid have shown that the Tories - and perhaps UK political establishment - is not capable of doing so.

[paulwild]

Tories have let Labour in at the next election. Why not give up now and save us all from waiting for the inevitable please

[charlottebowes]

Children understand death…
Grown adults are incapable of learning lessons about death, so let me fill you in.

The people we loved are dead and we are stuck with their killers smiling at us…

People aren’t offended by swear words, they’re offended by murderers, pedos and traffickers.

[charlesflouvat]

I think that we may need to consider proportional representation

[franklinbrown]

Boris should be put on trial for murder and attempted murder.
