They seem to think it's a TV drama



NHS England setting up 'war rooms' to prepare for 'toughest winter on record'

This year, the NHS is expecting to face more than a "twindemic" during the winter months, with modelling suggesting respiratory infections could occupy up to half of all hospital beds in the country.

The NHS is setting up data-driven "war rooms" as it prepares for what could be England's "toughest winter on record", new plans have revealed.


War rooms indeed. As if they intend to treat the whole thing as a TV drama. Doctors and nurses urgently hurtling down hospital corridors flashing meaningful glares at each other. Surly glances in the operating theatre. Tense conflicts over critical diagnoses and lashings of emotional blackmail. 

Cripes - I feel queasy already.

Will the nursing staff be doing Tiktok type dances for our entertainment?

I fail to see how such a cold winter can be forecast as early as October! If it's going to be cold, then that's the norm, but surely global warming will take care of all that!

The scaremongering MSM tries to milk these stories every year, but at least all the hundreds of newly-appointed Diversity and Human Rights NHS bods will have nice new, warm offices!

Woodsy - there's a thought - we are almost bound to be treated to something from the TikTok generation.

Scrobs - yes, they have no idea what the coming winter will be like, but as you say, global warming should take care of it.

In the operating theatre, don't call me surly!

How many toughest winters on record have they had so far? And they still aren't prepared?

War rooms, or a Führerbunker?

Theatre, all theatre.

Tammly - ha ha, but why do they have to be so surly?

Bucko - and officially, climate change should lead to milder winters.

Sam - to which only the hospital bureaucrats have a key.

Wiggia - and the Nightingale Hospitals seemed like a good idea. Maybe too good.

James - it is, all of it.
