All channelled into saving lives and improving health. If it wasn’t for the unwanted limelight of this pandemic, he’d have done all of the above modestly in the background.
Aside from commentators / people who try to dominate us (zzzz influencers), genuinely I don’t know any Tory members of the public who still refer to the Iraq War. Through my work etc, I know a wide cross section of folk.

I was referring to punters, not politicians. The trendy view in the last 10 years is to claim, amongst many things, that you were against a war orchestrated by Bush’s puppy Red Tory Tony Blair.
A deliberate distancing from Blair. Overriding the good work done in the UK.
I don’t believe all the lefties who say now that they were vehemently against the invasion of Iraq.

People targeting Whitty include the thick as shite ********s who roughed him up in a park.
Whitty, Vallance, Van-Tam, the people at Oxford behind the OAZ vaccine, Kate Bingham and lesser known unsung heroes have been incredible.
Working 24-7 to save lives with their various skill sets, they also got this country back on its feet.
If anyone deserves honours, it’s these guys.
