Absolutely. So sad his pneumonia medicine prevented him from getting a vaccine shot. But what a life lived

I can't stand that the poor guy's legacy has been so cynically co-opted by the Tories when there's a good chance that he'd not have died if they'd handled the pandemic more competently.

The Dianafication has been quite horrifying in all honesty.
Tip of the hat for what he did for the NHS, but that is supposed to be someone else's job really

Totally agree here as well. Far too much 'bad nationalism', of all four strands, emerging on these islands.

There was a vacuum of decency, of leadership, of basically doing the right thing at the top of our government, and he filled it.

Top man from what I know, RIP
