The usual response is one or both of 1. Find some convoluted way that it's actually the fault of people who need treatment or front line staff and hammer that in compliant media and have it regurgitated by the BBC and pundits till it becomes received wisdom 2. Some sort of window dressing policy/mandated clapping and declare mission success. Anyone who continues to criticise about the fundamental problems is shouted down as just being anti-tory/political activist. E.g the other days wheeze where we banned plastic cutlery therefore releasing tons of human waste into rivers on the regular doesn't matter anymore. The bit I'm curious about is if that is done deliberately or if British people are just culturally favourable to flagrant gaslighting.
