This meme makes no sense. Churchill wasn't in charge of the government before the war, and repeatedly warned about lack of preparedness. He could not have been blamed for shortages. However, with austerity, the Tories have been cutting public spending, including the NHS, with Johnson's enthusiastic support, for the last 10 years. The current shortages are entirely down to them.
Of course it is a political statement: it is trying to make out that it is somehow unpatriotic and disrespectful to the heroes of the NHS to criticise the government for its failure to supply and protect them. This is a deliberate reversal of the truth, and it's not funny.
Jokes will make some people laugh and some people mad. It’s how they work I suppose. My take on it is that it shows the failing of the media to ask proper questions but rather build their own individual and tv rating status. Let’s move on....
Of course nobody wants to censor genuine jokes, Privateer, but an awful lot of political propaganda is produced in the guise of 'jokes', so that you look like spoilsport if you call them out. If nobody ever challenges them, they eventually get accepted as the truth. This particular one p*ssed me off, as it is such a distortion of the truth.
Poor Becky, eighteen years old from Solihull (unmarried, three mixed race children to three fathers) is concerned about her privacy being invaded by the Covid 19 app. Wind your neck in Becks, if the government want any info they haven't already got on you, they'll just have a look at your facebook page. OK hun?
