The Daily Sceptic, 22 September, Dr Angus Dalgleish
It seems that not a day goes by without further confirmation that the Government has been totally incompetent for decades – so this is an observation not confined to any one party.
The most recent news is the pending disaster in many buildings, entirely due to the use of a special reinforced aeriated concrete (RAAC) from the sixties onwards, which was known to have a shorter life than normal building structures. It was highlighted in 2018 and it would appear that in spite of this tsunami of consequences that would be inevitable very little has been done about it. The implications for education could not come at a worse time, after education at school, college and university level was already irredeemably damaged by the completely pointless and unnecessary lockdown imposed by ministers. In this they had very little justification, other than recommendations from an extremely incompetent and not fit for purpose Chief Medical Office and SAGE.
No need to remind everyone that Sweden did not close schools yet it had one of the best outcomes of all Western nations, without a single day’s education being lost for its schoolchildren and one of the lowest death rates from Covid and the consequences of lockdown in the Western world.
