The Indian government asked Indian scientists for advice for dealing with Covid-19, but when they said that the variants threatened another wave of illness, the government ignored them.

Bogus Johnson appears to have said, "let the bodies pile high in the thousands," insisting on keeping the UK economy open. (He later changed his mind about that decision, and changed it again, and again, etc.)

Bogus Johnson has evaded scandal after scandal by refusing to take them seriously, but the current scandal about accepting gifts of money and covering them up is constricting around him.

The UK used to hold its ministers accountable with a firm expectation that a minister would resign over any wrongdoing, whether public or personal. The Tories have abolished that expectation by disregarding it, and now they can get away with just about anything. But they are still pushing to destroy every institution that could stop them.

I can imagine them as saying, "If you're a Tory politician, they let you do it." And, as when the bully said it, it's not really true, unless "let you" includes "be too scared to stop you".
