The Great NHS Heist

UK coronavirus death rate ranked highest in the world. Prime Minister Johnson's sticks by his adviser Dominic Cummings who defends his 500 miles round trip to Durham breaking lockdown rules. As scientific advisers break ranks, the public flock to the beaches to enjoy Bank Holiday sunshine signalling the national effort was over for them too. 

Parents and teachers worry about children returning to schools despite daily new cases of coronavirus being still around 8000 and UK death toll exceeding the total for the rest of Europe combined. 

Johnson's states his pride in the catastrophic handling of the pandemic just as the shambolic, outsourced and privatised Test and Trace system is launched. Compounding our collective cognitive dissonance, the truth twister keep calm and carry on.

Dr Sarah Gangoli and Dr Bob Gill discuss the devastating toll coronavirus is having particularly in the United Kingdom as a result of failure of government to implement standard infection control measures. An exploration of how a deprofessionalised health workforce has been made powerless to protect their patients or themselves against top-down incompetence and dictat. Failure to provide PPE and forcing infectious patients to be discharged into nursing homes, setting of a second pandemic.  And yet government propaganda eminanting from 10 Downing Street is left largely unchallenged by our docile media, requiring others to expose the lies for what they are.

Dr Sarah Gangoli (Returning NHS Doctor) and Dr Bob Gill (GP and Producer of The Great NHS Heist) discuss the impact of COVID-19 in the UK in the context of the ongoing covert privatisation of the National Health Service in England.  Public health systems have been dismantled, policy to protect the economy over the lives of thousands of people have taken a catastrophic toll on the nation. The UK is set to have one of the worst COVID-19 death rates in the world.
