Doesnt surprise me, anything this government have done since the lockdown has been a mitigated disaster.
The Sunday Times has bubbled them, and they are currently locked away making up more bull**** to counteract the report, hence Gove saying jack all this morning, on Sophie Ridge.

Super forecasters my ****.

If it was ever due today. Strange the Govt do not know the reason why isn’t it!!
This is why we need to beef up our manufacturing base at home so we are not as reliant on other nations. Decades after decades of reducing manufacturing at home for cheaper prices abroad by Govts of all party’s carry some blame. Globalisation is all well and good till you get a war or a pandemic then you’re shot. Much better balance needed across all industries so we are never in this position again.

Nah, it's better to sell our utilities and water to the French and Germans, our mobile network to the Chinese , industrial production to the Orient, after all we all want to pay nowt for everything. Milk at less than a £1 per litre, bread at 50p, Primark selling tops for £1, we are as guilty as the government

El Ejido begins manufacturing waterproof gowns for health personnel
About 300 people are working in logistics for the preparation and distribution of the pieces. A total of 400,000 units is expected
'Si tú caes Yo caigo' is the new campaign that has been launched from the municipality of El Ejido for the development of waterproof gowns for health personnel who are fighting against this Covid-19 pandemic.
A new initiative, coordinated by the Municipality of El Ejido, in which about 300 people participate in the preparation and distribution of the pieces, among which are volunteers, seamstresses, municipal workers and Civil Protection, as well as important companies in the municipality such as Solplast and Sotrafa, who donate the material, and Agropal, which is in charge of cleaning and disinfecting the sheets.
For the production of these waterproof gowns there are 600 coils with which waterproofing sheets are formed, a material widely used in the agricultural sector. This material has been chosen precisely because it is the one recommended by the Poniente Sanitary District to offer all the necessary security guarantees in these cases.
Once the patterns are cut, each of the pieces is heat-sealed to make the robes and they are sent to the Socio-Cultural Hall of Santa María del Águila, where they are arranged to undergo a cleaning and disinfection treatment with products that are certified of the Ministry of Health.
The forecast is for a total of 400,000 pieces to be made that will be distributed in the coming weeks.
In this sense, the mayor of El Ejido, Francisco Góngora, today delivered the first units made of sanitary material to the territorial delegate of Health, Juan de la Cruz Belmonte, in the Socio-Cultural Hall of Santa María del Águila next to the mayor of Commerce, Health and Consumption, Montserrat Cervantes; the precursor of the initiative 'If you fall I fall' and the president of the Local Board, Juan Carlos Brabezo.
