Coronavirus

So he’s now creates another section of folk to blame...local government leaders.

I mean any chance of slobber chops taking some responsibility, even a little bit?

From somebody who did vote  for the cons I am very disappointed with the way he is supposedly taken control of all this.

Commiserations.

Instead of talking about world beating track and trace system, a normal christmas and moonshot amounts of testing, just average competence would be better than the utter bluster bs from a lazy bluffer.
Nothing new though.

It’s not popular with anyone at the minute but Captain Hindsight’s circuit breaker lockdown idea will no doubt be proven to be the best idea in the long run.

Field day for the private sector once again.

™ Obviously would have been worse under Labour.......

It is such an obvious point I am shocked you cannot see it.

When we voted in December we had a choice of the unelectable Jeremy Corbyn and his disfunctional labour party, or the charismatic and electable Boris Johnson. At the time people did agree that whatever happened in the immediate future, it would indeed be worse under Labour. Labour was trounced, biggest defeat since 1935 and if Boris killed every new born till the next election Labour would still struggle to gain enough seats to form even a minority government. The red wall has been slowly eroding till it cracked big style.

A lot of the Labour family cannot stand red tory Starmer, and there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that a Prime Minister Corbyn would have fared any better than Boris in trying to sort our the covid crisis, and up to recent days the current Labour leader has agreed with just about everything the government did to tackle the virus.

Now the virus has destroyed any grand plans Boris may have had, but he is not the only world leader to be found wanting, is he?

The whole thing has been a catastrophe, we can all agree on that. Mistakes aplenty;  and all of us would do things differently, all convinced that our way, or the labour way would have been better, but all of it is purely subjective.

I have seen comments over the months of this or that country have done things better, with posters seemingly blissfully unaware of all the different scenarios facing each country. Those who were lauded initially now find the going a bit more difficult so it is a constant moving picture.

It is no good castigating people for the choice they made in December, which was a no brainer really. Those on the losing side quite rightly point out governments mistakes, and this has been magnifed hugely by covid, but none of us knew we would be gripped by a pandemic.

I have absolutely no qualms about voting Conservative at the last election; they were the only reasonable option given the choice. Come 2024 I will weigh up the options then.

The failings are a direct result of the ideology behind the Tory party, and a continuation of everything they’ve done in the last ten years.

Cut the state, cut services, cut any form of support and target vulnerable people. Then outsource to your mates, who continue to be rewarded from the public purse despite failure after failure. It’s ideological - not a question of competence. It’s not like they don’t know what they’re doing - THEY DO! It’s just that what needs to be done (I.e. stop people dying) goes against what they’re there for. These people are crooks, absolutely corrupt with zero morals or sense of public duty. They’re there to pick the bones and line their pockets.

LOL at the idea that Boris had any big plans that the pandemic has scuppered. Now would be the perfect time to invest in infrastructure, hospitals, local authorities and the virus has shown starkly where it’s needed. The govt are creating money out of thin air to give to their landlord mates, Wetherspoons, Serco, Deloitte...how about investing in decent, long term viable industries?

But if that’s what you voted for and your happy to look around at these crumbling, junk towns we live in, then that’s up to you.
