Fact is if we hadn’t just had ten years of austerity and cuts we would have been more prepared.
Germany chose not to use austerity after financial crash and they are a much safer country than ours right now.
------------
This.
There might not be a direct link between the number of death and the state of the NHS, although you could easily argue that there is.
But there is a direct links between current state of the NHS and the lockdown.
The length of lockdown will only be determined by the capacity of the NHS to absorb and treat patient. Without the austerity, the UK could have had probably a more relax lockdown just like the Netherlands and Sweden have and that wouldn't such an impact on the economy. Instead, the government had to take drastic measure and might not open business for another month.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, relaxed lockdown would have been easier if Tories had not been in power, trying to balance the books after the 2008 crash?
Even though, Ireland and Italy tell us we locked down too little too late.
Not a fan of austerity, like I do not like paying bills or credit card payments, but we have to pay our way, or pass it to next generation.
Sadly, the poor get hammered hard.
That is the world over and not just Tory UK.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Austerity is a (failed) political ideology, not a financial necessity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know why it was needed, but am not going to defend Tory policy, but at the same time, this virus would have tested us even without the last decade of cuts.
Hopefully, we learn from this.

If you look at the state of national finances leading up to the 2008 crash, despite having experienced years of economic boom under Labour, borrowing was sky high, the size of the state was massive, gold reserves sold off cheap to afford such spending. We were having our cake and eating it, and borrowing more money, buying more cake and eating that too. When the crash hit we were skint and the memo to the incoming chancellor from the outgoing, "I'm afraid there is no money", is so very telling.
FOr sure the Tories used this situation to support their austerity measures and their key ideology of shrinking the size of the state, but don't think that the minimum amount of cuts needed post-crash would have been easy. They still would have been very deep cuts.
YOu also have to ask yourself where we would be financially, as a country, had the cuts not been so deep? Our ability to borrow, our credit rating, the cost of that borrowing and our level of borrowing would all put us in a much worse financial position than we are now.
What is disappointing is that this crisis will likely wipe off a lot of the benefits we will have had going forward from years of austerity. We went through that hardship with a promise of Jam in the future and now that future has just got further away!

They should tell us to f*ck off.
Get all the racist old gammon to pick the fruit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Record numbers of people applying for support and millions out of work but there's no one to pick the fruit.
I thought Brexit was supposed to create more job opportunities for locals. Well, the jobs are opening up but no one is taking them except Romanians.
Why the need for foreign workers when so many are jobless?

Because Brits don't like hard work for about £7 an hour.

The easy solution is to stop benefits to people who refuse to do farm work. If I lived in an area like Kent I'd sooner be working than stuck at home.
That Automatic guy obviously doesn't work why doesn't he volunteer to pick fruit? The lazy bum.

Exactly this. He spends half his life berating English and white people on Ja606. Why don’t the lazy c** go and pick fruit then ? Hypothetical bas**. Don’t preach to others, when you are exactly the same as the people you are criticising.
