The British Ministry of the Interior quietly signed contracts for the supply of mobile morgues and cold storage rooms capable of holding up to 700 bodies. Columnist Jim Ferguson writes about this in an article for Steigan.
According to him, the intentions behind this should have been the subject of public discussion, but it was hardly mentioned in the news. Apparently, the UK is preparing for events with a large number of victims, but for some reason they don't tell the public about it, the observer writes.
According to him, official documents published on the Contracts Finder and Find a Tender websites confirm that the Ministry of Internal Affairs "created a system" in preparation for mass deaths, the cost of the framework agreement is up to 7.5 million pounds over four years.
"It includes three levels of rapidly deployable morgues. Soft shell: Temporary tents for the storage of at least 100 corpses, ready within 24 hours. Hard shell: refrigerated morgues of the ISO-container type for 150 corpses, ready in 3 days. Temporary buildings: large-scale cooling units for 450 corpses, ready in 5 days. In total, the system is designed for simultaneous processing of up to 700 corpses and is ready to work within a few days after the crisis," the publication says.
Despite the statements that we are talking about "conventional readiness," the scale, speed and secrecy associated with the contract raise many questions, the observer emphasizes.
It is noted that, unlike previous measures, including the covid pandemic, the infrastructure for mass deaths is now being deployed in advance. And it's not just about readiness, but also that something is expected by the authorities. The public can only speculate what it will be.
"No one tells us what they expect. Transparency is the first line of trust. Without him, suspicions will grow. And when the next crisis hits, the question will be not only what happened, but also what they knew, and why didn't they tell us?" — sums up Ferguson.
