But your having a bloody good moan about it.

Nothing changed today. Nothing has changed in the last few weeks.

They're amateur and embarrassing. They can't sort out their own shit. No strategy. No consistency. Shocking way to run a country and no wonder nobody is following the rules they're making up on the hoof.

But you are slagging him off without knowing the facts. Have you thought it might be a# simple as the media wouldn’t be ready by 4 or that the unions wanted urgent talks which delayed things. I doubt whether it was because Boris wanted to watch the rugby

You could well be right and like you've previously said hindsight is a wonderful thing but that doesn't stop me thinking this could have been handled a lot better than it has been.

I don't like him being reactive rather than proactive. Did he know we were eventually gonna have to go into a second lockdown? If so what was the point in putting it off for so long? I don't like how he's fucked over Manchester.

No no no it is not. Nor do you follow through after the throat one.

I follow through all the time in my daily life, so I didn't notice much differance tbh.
The throat cam cable was fucking massive. Took 2 nurses to persuade me to have this thing rammed into my mouth. It may as well be on a fucking reel with the hoselock label on it.
One nurse stroked my forehead while the other one held me down.
Actually asked me if i'd like to watch the camera footage live.
Then they released a pair of scissors from the end of it and started snipping away at my stomach.
Easily the worst day of my life.

Not sure I am rimming anyone but if you don’t have the IQ to make any sensible comment and then resort to insults then you are probably part of the problem. Another one to add to the ignore list

If you think this government is doing the best they can, I'll happily go on ignore. I'm not the idiot here.

Brexit was a walk in the park compared to this situation... if he’d been able to see this coming he might not have been quite so eager to take the job... Who would?

Someone in politics for the right reasons..?

Admittedly, they are few and far between, which says a lot in itself

The Virus was causing mayhem in China and parts of Europe for weeks before it arrived here!
They had plenty of time to close the borders and ban flights but they missed a trick and obviously the $ is king!

Just to slightly correct you, it had caused mayhem in China, but they'd welded people into their apartment blocks by then, so it was slowing there.

It was just appearing in europe (mainly northern Italy), and our schools were on half term, and many were either skiing in the Alps, or on the beach in Spain, so those on holiday didn't know they were being infected. We then had Cheltenham, the Atletico Madrid game in Liverpool, and a certain cup final in what turned out 2 weeks later to be covid central, wembley, where 80,000+ mixed with the locals who were already infected but nobody knew the extent of it (one of the local hospitals became overwhelmed about 3 weeks later).

We should have acted earlier then, and we should have acted better, and earlier now, so we have caused our own problems to a degree, but it got in here big time without us realising, then we helped spread it round for too long. Not closing the borders was a mistake, but we are a major world hub for international trouble, so it was financial.

Had they got a decent test track and trace system, and more importantly made it work, and made the people +ve isolate, then we might not be in this new lockdown, though Germany suggests we still might have been, where they had it working, and are still in a mess.
