Letters to the editor: Who took what on whose chin?

Repeatedly we see decisions that are made by the UK Government that exacerbate the situation — whether it is inadequate income support for workers or lack of PPE stockpiles for frontline staff, cancellation of orders for essential kit then transferred to other companies closer to the Conservative Party’s donor group, repeated off the cuff lies — all stemming from a crazy ‘take it on the chin’ policy.
As an Irish citizen trapped in the UK I am reminded of Sir Charles Trevelyan during the mid Victorian era.
