seeming vault fanous has been the one of the engine things about this crisis as we've seen boris johnson was hospitalized one of these crises is it has been indiscriminate inhibit attacks i mean it's wrong to beat pain has been felt discriminately as always in these cases the brunt of the pain has been felt by the poorest the most vulnerable that is that's what's happened this has in terms of its contagion. affected everyone we have we were all as likely to suffer as anyone else and i think it's been the sheer that ubiquity of it and the fact that middle class people and rich business people will be affected by has made them realize that they have to step up to the place i think of the coronavirus it only affected some poor people that they couldn't see you know in the cities. in that context what exactly i mean i write about them in the in the chapter on housing in my book i write a program for and said that as a symbol of many quality you kind of get more point and similarly quote one of the richest few miles on earth you had graham fell but i think it's been the fact that . this conta

to talk about boris johnson and the accusations of mistakes made by the government for example sending protective equipment to china just when we could expect it to need it and of course the government failing to learn lessons on p.p.m. ventilators despite planning in detail for exactly this kind of scenario well the planning wasn't for exactly this kind of scenario the planning was for it flu outbreak and you were talking a little bit earlier about protective gowns and joining a flu outbreak you don't need those protective gowns or certainly don't need them as vote and so off you see a lot of the preparation was focused although a disease that simply didn't break out but look i think that when we're talking about china and sending protective equipment over that i think it is right to treat this as a global threats and to act globally what disgusted me was when they said china consignments a person protect the gripman and then when they need it back the chinese force them to buy it up and also chinese companies have sold 2000000 tests to the and i don't know do you mention actually tha

you know i'm am a be able congress on i'm very comfortable from this position to tell johnson that's not going to work that's not enough why not let me explain if that was enough let's let's take traffic ok. imagine. we used only not just in guidelines to avoid car accidents to avoid the speeding. all traffic violation would that be enough would that be enough just to tell people drive carefully there won't be enough that's why we have speeding come around that's why we have police on the street. nudging and guidelines are good for some people and for certain circumstances when it when it gets to color people you know you have to abide by certain rules that are not pleasant and are not comfortable you need more than that ok i could see that but most people are broadly done as a government guidance has suggested so far here in this country but if you don't really tough on it but some enforcement would cause a backlash we've seen a little bit of unrest over this of course in front suddenly. so there are 2 there are 2 strategies to to do the. relieving the quote the lockdown there is a

george galloway george 1st ken what can you tell us of boris johnson's condition his office says he's using an oxygen tube but not of the ventilator can we believe those updates coming from his press office. well when is an oxygen tube not a ventilator that would be my 1st question personally i've never heard of an oxygen tube and if he's in the intensive care unit which belatedly the british government conceded in public that he was having earlier described this as russian edition formation which 5 hours late are they confirmed to be the truth if he's in intensive care why is he in intensive care if he isn't suffering from pneumonia and isn't on a ventilator and of course this is symbolically important because once you're on a ventilator well the chances of you pulling out of it alive are really dangerously small something like 8020 of the people who go on to a ventilator come are alive only 20 out of $100.00 so it's very watering indeed not least for his pregnant partner county simons who is extensively pregnant i think 6 months pregnant and herself has the coronavirus but also has

apparently faces errors incompetence is it mel fees it's all on the part of bars johnson's government well i think you know we're looking at or is of commission and . misleading communication. at least with regards to things like the deaths insisting normally presenting the hospital that's not including. fully and keeping us in the dark about what's going on in the prisons. seems to be cooking up as an issue so i'm very bothered about this there seems to be an erosion of troops and a general feeling that you know we don't know what they're saying they're not being straight with us even though i'm trying to ski said you couldn't quantify media bias you mentioned there the apparent mismatch of death rate do you think the government is deliberately minimizing the death rates the same parent mismatch between the japanese own financial times estimates of 41000 plus deaths and the complete often quoted and continually cited 20000 odd death figure here in britain i think the government has had chance of the chance to demonstrate that it was going to be straight and open with the public and t

go the people were clapping for the national health service do you think it's got through to boris johnson that doesn't mean anything on sex workers as mean anything on bus drivers that mean anything on cleaners as you said on porches why do you think that is you think they fundamentally don't understand the class dimension to coronavirus absolutely i don't understand why should i do think they understand outstanding they can't but it's johnson did say the other day for the 1st time that he does believe in such a thing as society which was a rebuttal to such as claim that there is no shas thing as a society so that he's defied his messiah maggie that's i don't think bush johnson will change i think that he's his priority is to protect the bosses or protect the bankers still if he really cared about working class communities migrant communities pain communities he would be ensuring that the minimum wage was raised to at least the level of a real living wage he would ensure that every worker out they got proper full pay sick day from day one of illness lot of than the measly statutory sick p
