"I'm ashamed that our country was so ill-prepared and put them out there, fighting in the front line without proper protection" Queen‘s Brian May has slammed the UK government’s response to the coronavirus crisis by saying that a lack of sufficient protection for NHS frontline workers will be to the country’s “eternal shame.” “I’m ashamed that our country was so ill-prepared and put them out there, fighting in the front line without proper protection.
It is to our eternal shame that we were not prepared well enough and early enough,” he told NME. The guitarist’s comments come as supplies of protective equipment continue to run low across the UK, with the government facing criticism for their apparent failure to protect healthcare workers
