One of the most difficult podcasts I've ever listened to. Lost my dad to pneumonia in 2019, don't know how I and he would've coped with the restrictions. Boris is a coward and he should be in jail
To reiterate the subject of poor control of the chair, myself having acted as a chair over decades in various venues and situations. The bias toward Johnson became even more obvious when the following KC's got the opportunity to question him. There was an instruction toward time from the chair and yet she took no lead in controlling Johnson to answering the points raised but allowed him to bring up rhetoric not facts. Johnson, once aware of the imposed time limit, filibustered until the clock ran out - a trick learned and practiced by politicians not only in Parliament but also during media interviews - a system of evasion the chair should have halted and rebuked the witness toward answering the question. Shameful negligence.
Despite 230K+ Covid deaths and 6500+ bereaved families involved in the inquiry, we've been given less than TEN representitives Baroness Hallett is ignoring the requirements of the bereaved as much as she can get away with. We'd be totally excluded if it didn't cause wider public uproar. OUR lawyers are last to be involved in proceedings, have pitiful amounts of time to question witnesses and are subject to strict controls on what we can ask. All in all 1/10 for Baroness Hallett's perfomance as chair.
Johnson is an utterly despicable person but, in many ways, I reserve my deepest anger for his apologists. Why? Because they are capable of enabling the next Johnson.
I reserve my anger and disgust for the English voters. Traitors to all of those that died, that that my grandad fought to protect from fascists in ww2 when they were kids, left to die at the hands of the fascist cult the English can't stop voting for when into their pensions
Nah this is very squalid two faced leftist guilt tripping whilst ignoring types like Ian McEwan saying "if 1.5m old people die within 2 years we can reverse Brexit" in 2017 and he even has a virologist son.
Wasn't expecting to be crying on Friday night. Powerful video guys, and thank you Susie for sharing, such a visceral perspective that shows just how destructive these cretins are. Why we aren't fucking rioting is beyond me.
Bless this brave lady who's been through such unimaginable trauma. She and the other bereaved deserve a far more competent, effective inquiry chair. I hate Johnson with a passion that I cannot adequately articulate. Truly despicable and toxic.
I can't imagine what this lady has been through, along with the countless others who lost people because of the utter incompetence, laziness and ego of that monster, as he lied his way through the last few days, dripping with arrogance and hubris. It was an utterly vulgar display. I hope they all find some peace.
All credit to you for reaching out and allowing Susie to speak freely about her experience. I have such admiration for Susie. We all know something is rotten in the character of Johnson. Always will be. Never again we say
Thank you for sharing this. You're so right that people who haven't gone through this don't realise how painful that Covid death was. My dad, dying in a care home, wasn't even given oxygen. A very strong man, a medical legend, the first time was ever hospitalised in his life was at 96 after being hit by a car. And he bounced back! But Covid was too much for him and he fought and fought for hours to breathe. Imagine literally being unable to breathe for hours, with your organs shutting down. And he was given neither oxygen nor pain medication. I saw this on Zoom and it was a terrible ending for a man who had his whole life been loved and generous and warmhearted to everyone in his neighbourhood and wherever he want. Hancock, Johnson, Sunak should all be jailed for manslaughter. Yes, my dad had a long and healthy life before Covid but it wasn't just the fact of his death but the cruelty and agony of his dying that can't and shouldn't be forgotten.
So sorry to hear this. I once experienced an episode when I just couldn’t get enough oxygen into my lungs and it was the most frightening thing I’ve ever experienced, thankfully it passed after a few minutes. I can’t though imagine what it must be like to have that go on for hours, if not days. The glib nature Covid was discussed behind closed doors by Johnson and his colleagues, people who are working for us, being paid by us, makes your dad’s awful experience that much worse, not to mention how you had to see such suffering remotely via Zoom. The behaviour of these people is unforgivable, and no apology or excuse will ever make up for what happened.
I felt disappointed that the Baroness seemed to be either unable or unwilling to stop Mr. Johnson avoiding answering the question, by speaking at great length in a confusing way.
My condolences on the loss of your father Susie, he sounds like a great teacher and many people were lucky enough to know him. I have been feeling extremely angry and upset throughout the covid inquiry. I want Boris and others to pay for what they did and didn’t do. For what they said and wrote, how callous they were. The disregard and disrespect towards grieving families and dying people. It breaks my heart.
Boris Johnson is such a false person that I don't think any apology from him would be good enough - I don't think he's capable of showing, never mind actually feeling, the kind of remorse necessary to show to any of the thousands of families who've gone through (and continue to do so) this largely preventable loss, a loss he could have prevented but didn't.
My heart breaks all over again - bless you for sharing - I worked throughout the Pandemic in the NHS, I’m concerned that there could be a collective amnesia about how completely appalling this government was during the pandemic….
Firstly, my sympathies with Susie. I was genuinely upset by hearing her recollections of her father’s last days. What an awful thing to have experienced. The point I wanted to pick up on was Susie’s comment about the way the inquiry is being run. It sounded similar to to the incompetent the way the House of Commons is run by The Speaker and his deputies. I conclude from so much of what I see of the establishment and its machinations that it’s now run by incompetents, put in positions that are clearly beyond them. Allowing Johnson to make a “political broadcast” but admonish people who lost loved ones to Covid is appalling. Just appalling.
I also found it very offensive when Hallet (and Keith) at the end of BJs questioning, shared in some lightweight banter. Johnson did his charmy bit and they fell for it. Plus!! Johnson had the nerve to make suggestions to the inquiry about what to do in the future. He was serious!! The man is responsible for tens of 1000s of deaths. Would Hallet and Keith have been so matey if it was an inquiry into a predatory child sexual abuse ring and they were questioning the clearly guilty known leader of the gang. Or imagine, if Saville was dragged in to questioning in an inquiry of the same sort and he ended by giving advice!! Johnson is a vile showster and deserves the utmost contempt.
The only deaths he responsible 4 are the ones caused by lockdowns which is far higher than the deaths from covid with the average age being 83 so please stfu talking absolute waffle, sob Stories waahh waahh
This lady is so right. I have no tragic personal experience as she does - but watching the 'mealy mouthed' hypocritical Johnson l too felt tremendous anger - and frustration that the KC and Chair allowed him to dominate the proceedings with his carefully rehearsed fake speeches. My heart truly goes out to all those bereaved people. It is disgraceful that these thoroughly decent people were treated with such contempt by this loathsome man
My dads ended up in hospital on oxygen March/April 2020, it was the worst time of my life. I was isolating, but even still no one was allowed in, dad was frightened but had to wait the 3 weeks until he'd become hypoxic and turned blue. He survived thank the universe. My heart goes out to this lady and her family, it must have been dreadful. Now there's talk of him going back into No. 10 - is an absolute disgrace. I thought it was appalling how those peaceful protesters were treated.
Never forget what Johnson did. Always remember and speak out loud for all the good people who suffered. Their lives and voices were taken away as a consequence. My heart goes out to each and every person who suffered unnecessarily. Eternal shame on the likes of Johnson and the institution which facilitates and safeguards people of the ilk of Johnson. To let Johnson obfuscate the truth on the one hand, whilst regarding the silent bereaved with disdain, on the other, is truly disgusting.
Lucie’s reflections are reasoned, humane and valid. Someone like her, a secondary school teacher would have been so infinitely more effective at leading the country through the Pandemic. I suppose a great many people up and down the country would have been better. Our ‘democratic’ system that puts celebrities and populist ploys above cool-headed intelligence is so broken that I find it hard to imagine a way out of this. The only way is down at the moment I’m afraid.
They are bound by the Hippocratic Oath on the professional level…but privately some of them must. Especially if they loathed the patient to begin with.
Not a hair on body believes be had COVID. He was on TV within 2 weeks after being in hospital. Fit as a bird tweeting about all he was not going to deliver. COVID ravaged organs. People died terrible deaths. And in a very short time. No way he had COVID. Maybe a cold or flu or a bit of temperature at the most. It was convenient though, since the first big criticism arrived about the COVID handling and the "world leading" death toll in the UK. At least he didn't have to be on the public screen for a while. That should be enough to make you think. Like the entire conservative COVID period, it was just one big drama. And the whole world watched it in disbelieve. And condemned the UK for it as well.... 🤢
Don’t believe for one minute he was on a ward ..he would have been in a private room so how could he have seen others with COVID when he was in hospital ..never believe a Tory ..especially this one 😡
@@DirtyJokesFanyou people are fkin insane her dad died of a virus not anyone's fault fact , the only thing he should be apologising 4 is the lockdowns that caused 50 times the damage than covid did , 83 average age of death from covid but we get all these fkin sob stories fgs ,
I completely agree how those bereaved families were treated. This is a reflection of this damn country and its doffing the cap of the low life of Johnson.
And yes, absolutely funding the NHS! I have worked in our healthcare system since 1986 and have seen the funding in real terms be ripped out! All preparations / funding we had in previous years for emergency preparedness and situations such as a pandemic were not seen as a priority - and years of austerity led to an organisation already on its knees just trying to keep the lights on throughout some terrible winters - then had to rally (as we always would because that’s why we join the service) to ensure that patients were treated in whatever way possible despite no proper PPE - we even had a call out to our community for any PPE supplies that could possibly meet the demand! It’s just indefensible….
We went through the same pain loosing my dad who was a strong lively man. I wish in the hospital they let us back in after 10 min. They did not even let me back again. I felt the whole dealing with everything was so inhuman. And the madness was more when we arranged the funeral... treating covid deaths like people had plague. It was the most stressful situation I have ever needed to get through. It was terrible.
Absolutely bang on, it was the Johnson show. The energy from the Chair towards the protesters was shameful and an unhealthy symbiosis with Johnson. It felt like Johnson was there to whitewash history. And that this was aided by the Chair.
The thing that made me mad was that he made it out to be the Boris Johnson Show first he started the 2 day hearing by saying how sorry he was for all the Deaths that had occurred to make him look good and at the end of the 2 day hearing the QC seamed to apologise for putting Johnson thow all of this and Johnson replay was im glad it is all over now and that iv been able to help with this inquiry and laughed it off and so did the QC not good !!!!!
This enquiry is the final nail in the coffin of my opinion of Johnson. He is the most absurd and recent product of a social class where men follow a cursus honorum in order to become Prime Minister, not because they care about the country, but for the sake of being Prime Minister. Now his wider family can claim the honour of having had at least a PM among their ranks. This shows how our country has not really changed since the days of aristocrats. What a sad situation we are in.
love pointing out the parallel of Johnson responding like a year 9 school boy. "everyone was doing it" I think this highlights something I've felt for a long time about many of the high level Tories and its not surprising either. they've not lived real lives so they've never had to grow up.
this woman was 'lucky' to have those 10 mins, a lot of us didn't even get to have that. and when people are still now (knowing all the stories) moaning how 'lockdowns shouldn't have happened and space limit shouldn't have been implemented' i just want to shake them and scream.
Johnson is a Narcissist, and he lies uncontrollably, so there's nothing you can point to and get something meaningful to you, from it. sorry, but I think you'd be best to discover what a Narcissist does, how they think, which is always about them. That way you'll recognise one if you're unlucky enough to have one enter your life. My tip is to see their route of travel and turn around and walk away in the completely opposite way from them. I know. My Mother was a Narcissistic Personality Disorder woman.I am 75 now and I was 65 years old when I got some help about her. . She lived to 85 years old. To anyone reading this, Do the maths then heed my advice. Or not, it's up to you.
She's right about the chair. Somewhat seemed to be class against class. The whole thing stinks. Baroness ..... Hugo Keith whilst eminent, wasn't tough enough with Bo-Jo 🤡 and his interruptive narcissism. Coupled with his COVID-19 self fantasies.
I am sorry for her loss, and the others, but... the specific PPE she used during the visit was not up to standard? B/c masks worked, hand sanitizer worked... not 100% you are not going to get it, but cleanliness prevented spread.
This is incorrect. Some masks helped, but hand washing did little. The main channel of infection is droplets suspended in exhalations. Distancing and ventilation are very effective.
I suspect that the PPE equipment to which she refers and that she had access to was part of the MedPro PPE that was widely distributed in the UK which has since been found to have been substandard production and, as she mentions, not fit for purpose. The MedPro contracts and its equipment distribution were, pure and simple, a scam that took advantage of the pandemic in the interest of its investors.
In hospitals surgical masks are mostly used. They are not fitted and have gaps round the sides. Covid is an airborne virus, the infected air can still get into your lungs when wearing a surgical mask. The irony is that you could go into a hospital with your own higher specification mask and they would make you take it off and put on one of their ineffective ones.
I wish we could hear more voices like this of the actual impact of policies, and less career politicians chatting complete shite

With leaders like this, who needs terrorists!
Cant wait to give them the boot in the next election. I really hope that I never have to see another Tory government in my life time!
I've just watched the video Susie. Well done. You are such a brilliant advocate of half of all families who have suffered a loss.
This is so devestating to watch. Thank you guys for telling this story. This government has GOT to GO
As a daddy's girl myself, literal tears. God bless and I hope there's a productive response from the govt and voters ❤
I would like to think so, but can’t see it, not even under a Labour government
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to hear her words.
I’m so very sorry for your loss, Susie. Sending you comfort & prayers. Thank you for sharing your story with us

I am so sorry for your loss and your suffering
Both are unforgivable
And Johnson doesn't give a damn.

Boris Johnson never said that he was sorry for CAUSING the Pain, the Loss and Suffering of the Victims
He never said The Bereaved
Because so many people can’t express their experiences the country isn’t getting to learn the full devastation of COVID
Susie is remarkable, and Howard sounds wonderful. I really hope, though I'm not optimistic, that some constructive progress comes of this.
pantomine enquiry
BORIS should be made to watch this video.
Unfortunately it wouldn't bother him in the slightest.
This monster is worse than Savil and Harris. 🐍.
Has he ever faced up to anything? My sympathies to the bereaved. Chris
Susie put it so well. Johnson was not a leader.

Not only Johnson though.his cabinet was incapable of honesty 😊
Bunter NEVER EVER had Covid.......all theatre
