One of the filthiest tactics of the Panic Merchants is to claim that anyone who opposes their strangling of the country is callous and cares only about money, not life.
Dissenters have been pelted with slime of this kind by Johnson, the man who ruined Britain, and by his dense sidekick, Hancock – perhaps the first Health Secretary in history who does not know that malaria is spread by mosquitoes. They tell us we wish to ‘let the virus rip’.
Well, Johnson and Hancock, if you care so much about lives, get in touch with Lisa King, as I did. Ask her to tell you about how her husband Peter, a retired taxi driver aged 62, died.
It is a horrible, upsetting story, involving a grown man screaming in agony. And in my view it is an absolutely direct consequence of Hancock’s conversion of the NHS into a National Covid Service which treats everything else as a nuisance.
Peter King was grudgingly granted (as so many now are) a remote session with a doctor who, unable to meet him, and apparently ignorant of his records, diagnosed his severe chest discomfort as reflux.
But it was not good enough. Actually the trouble was far more serious – a stone trapped in his gall bladder – and the resulting delay meant he was overcome with indescribable pain a few days later.
Peter was given emergency surgery to reduce the agony, but needed a more radical operation. He was put on the urgent list for it. But this was still too late.
He fell terribly ill again and despite the heroic efforts of paramedics, he died. The many years of happy life which Peter and Lisa King might otherwise have had were wiped out for ever.

Oh, color me surprised!
Until I got to this spot in the article, I was preparing myself to learn that "Peter King" was a Member of Parliament, or at least a former member of the London Council, or somesuch.
But "former taxi cab driver?" Obviously, he didn't have powerful-enough "friends" in the NHS.

Let’s hear it for socialized medicine.
To be fair to BoJo, I think his decision-making has less to do with hysteria and more to do with the fact that the NHS has him by his short hairs.
I thought the pro IRA terrorist sympathising Congressman had died a ‘slow agonising death’ till I saw the rest of the headline and felt disappointment.
Wonder how much of this has to do with Brexit...
It does. Plenty are saying they are punishing Britons for brexit.
It is going to interesting if numbers are generated determining how many people have died due to the effects of the hoax vs the “virus”.
I have some idea of the misery this guy was in.
My gall bladder ruptured about 10 years ago.
Sheer misery.
I’ve heard that gall bladder pain is as bad as it gets. I read years ago about a Swiss pork butcher, in the days before modern asepsis, who took out his own gall bladder and survived. Can’t imagine what kind of pain would make that seem the better choice.
Up there with kidney stones.
Stabilized in the ER that night, surgery early next day.
Ready to walk out after 3 days.
Bouts of feeling cold and weak off and on for about 10 days.
