another media lie exposed.
« on: Apr 23, 2020, 07:38:35 PM »
The media gleefully reported the failure of the Government to order PPE from Turkey.  When it failed to arrive on Sunday, multiple outlets reported that it hadn't been ordered until the day it was supposed to arrive.  Today the Guardian reported this:

"It is understood that a Turkish company approached the NHS on Thursday offering to supply 400,000 clinical gowns, and the order was placed within hours and an unspecified deposit paid the following day. The remainder of the payment was to be made when the whole order was completed, health sources said."

In fact they only managed to ship 32,000 several days later than promised.  But that misses the point.  The media are keen to pick up at the first suggestion of Government failure, I wonder how many will now retract their statements?  I rarely have anything good to say about the Guardian, but have to acknowledge their honesty in setting the record right.
