As revelations mount of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s “PartyGate” breaking of Coronavirus regulations, political analyst Ali Miraj and I joined talkRADIO’s Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije on Sunday to analyze the likelihood that Johnson will finally be removed from power by his Conservative Party.
Listen from 23:55 in 1700-1730 Segment
We evaluate the damning findings by investigator Sue Grey of a “serious failure” of leadership, Johnson’s attempted diversion with a smear of opposition leader Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister’s refusal to take responsibility — and whether this is all just a “witch hunt”, as Johnson’s dwindling band of supporters claim.
The thing about the Salem witches is that they were innocent — and none of them, as far as I know, were “ambushed by a cake” at their birthday parties….
If Boris Johnson can’t take responsibility — if he has to blame civil servants, other ministers, and maybe his wife in the end — then he shouldn’t be in the job.
Israel’s rise in Covid deaths is an important lesson for the UK on vaccines : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/israels-rise-covid-deaths-important-lesson-uk-vaccines/
““Israel has basically let Omicron rip, eschewing almost all the layers of protections we had including PCR testing, quarantine for contacts of infected etc”, one local expert told the Telegraph..Barak Raveh, an assistant professor of biological modelling at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said the number of those unvaccinated and the omnipotence of omicron only provided a “partial explanation”. The waning of initial vaccinations also helped explain why, of 822 deaths recorded since the start of the year, only 293 were unvaccinated. “I do not mean to suggest the vaccine is ineffective at all – it is still 90 per cent effective if we normalize by population size. But what I think happened is some attrition in the effect of August’s booster shots”, said Dr Raveh.”
