Over 60,000 people have died alone this year with Covid-19, making Britain one of the highest Covid-19 death rates countries in the world. It has revealed the failure of the Tory government and how vulnerable we still are.
- The National Health Service is on the verge to collapse. The country has seen the worst economic downfall with rising unemployment and increasing homelessness.
- We are going through the worst crisis in decades, and yet the UK government is failing to protect us, putting the entire blame on the shoulders of the working class.
- The recent spending reports of the government have revealed that there has been a frozen pay of public- sector workers. The government has further threatened to cut 20 pounds in universal credit.
- And while the government is cutting the expenses on social emergency, they have decided to spend £16 billion on top of £40 billion on the military this year.
- This goes to show that the government has money for war but not enough for the key services that we direly need during a global pandemic.
- Despite such an acute crisis in social care, it is simply outrageous that the military got the biggest budget.
- This is a call for all the organizations, charities, Campaigners to come forwards and demand the government to set their priorities straight. The government needs to spend more on welfare than on warfare.
- We as a collective should be focusing on the real threats of climate change, global health risks, hunger, refugee crisis and homelessness.
Coronavirus has proven that even with modern technology and advancement, a global pandemic can tear the world apart. And it did. It demonstrated that health is intrinsically interlinked to everything else.
