I went to school with her (Beth Rigby) before secondary school
She sounded normal back then

 

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.

 

It’s a joke not a political statement and I don’t think they had colour TVs back then! FFS

 

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.

 

I've said my piece, mate. As you say, let's move on.
