The statement is absolutely correct referring to the government and the Conservative party in general.

It really isn't, and reeks of egocentric entitlement. It should be obvious that at-risk groups are a priority. Complaining that the people that likely die from covid are being prioritized over a group that has a negligible risk for no reason other than wanting to jump the line is something that's both baffling and dumbfounding.

They could have said "we need to get rid of jobs and remove your social contact to save a few old people's lives, it's going to cost a fortune, so we're going to implement a one of wealth tax which will mean those who we're destroying the economy for (to implement lockdown and brexit) are the ones that will have to pay for it - the very people that made an absolute fortune from the rise in asset prices, the ones sitting on final salary pensions paid for from the public purse

But they didn't. Instead they do things like closing sure start centres and increasing pensions way more than wages while taxing people 69% marginal rates for a typical middle class job.
