The Homer Sectary was proudly announced in Dec that anyone earning less than 25k was not welcome in the UK post Brexit. They have a points system . Now one thing that Covid has done is fully exposed a few issues. The vast Majority of NHS roles do not qualify on the points system. But suddenly it is our NHS the Tories are saying now, a re write of history will be required for that to fit the "OurNHS" especially Jeremy Hunt regime
Now they are swiveling v quick on this , I listen to a UK minister talking about "OurNHS" next report on children going starving there because schools closed . They introduced that Single Payment thing they introduced the carry on with spare rooms and interviews to return to work. Our NHS my arse , children cant eat thats the true color of Tories.
The UK now cannot harvest its own food because the immigrants not there.
One thing this virus has done is brought truth to the importance of some and the absolute irrelevance of others. Hopefully the NHS will be higher on Boris agenda rather than taking holidays on Billionaire yachts or Villas

I agree 100% with your post BA but I have to say your first line made me chuckle ! I love the idea of a Homer Secretary !
Come to think of it Homer might be a better PM than the clown that is there !
Are we there yet ?

plenty with qualifications but can't speak good english in the professional jobs but this will be relaxed as we need them, The NHS deserve medals,
as for labouring jobs, the truth is no one in Britain want to do that sort of labouring jobs such as picking and packing as just too lazy, NI will get special privileges and it will be relaxed for rest of UK too

Yes. Some people were preparing to write obituaries for him 3 weeks ago wen he was put into ICU and now he`s back. I wonder will his experience at the coalface of the NHS change his views about his government`s disastous herd immunity policy or will it be the same old bluff and bluster from him about this and all other issues?
The Truth is out there.

Don't think so. But, he will tell everyone to be alert. Britain must be short of lerts.
In England, (from BoJo's announcement)=
‘Some hospitality places’ could possibly open in July
Schools could possibly return on 1 June
Most people could go to work this week
People can have ‘unlimited exercise’ outside now, provided people obey the rules on social distancing
