"In a recent interview chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said: "The lesson is go earlier than you think you want to, go harder than you think you want to, and go a bit broader than you think you want to in terms of applying the restrictions.""

Shame Johnson didn't do it. But he did do 'everything possible'.
This is the same Sir Patrick Vallance who was talking up herd immunity in the 2nd week of March last year, only to reverse that a week later and advise on a lockdown.

Johnson is certainly at fault for the delay over the Christmas/New Year period of delay in restrictions but it’s very clear he was advised that herd immunity was a good idea, at the very beginning, and the 2nd lockdown he was criticised for going toot early.
 
That really doesn’t surprise me you think that, but let’s take a look.

They’ve sensationalised the opening headline points with :


Then they’ve said Johnson would win the legal case but Sturgeon could progress with an illegal wildcat referendum, if she does this she’s finished not Johnson.

Then it talks about the British government’s response to Covid, failing to mention the great big whopping fact that the SNP have had devolved powers to impose their own restrictions and do what they please in Scotland. In that sense, if Sturgeon had done such a great job that people claim, the SNP would be in a great position, with low deaths and the vaccines being in such great shape in the UK.

Google Business Insider bias, they’re a centre left publication, aligned to the SNP and this, as you’ve said, is a wishful thinking opinion piece, it’s garbage.
I've not read the article, but what's happened to "respect the right of all people to choose the form of government under which they will live"?

It's 80 years since Churchill signed us up to that.
 
I don't they'll be able to avoid it if support in Scotland continues to build at a pace. Guess we'll see for ourselves how it plays out in the coming years.
I do think Scotland is more of a risk than NI, I debated this with someone recently who said that it can’t be as the PM can just say no, but pressure will build, I just see it being similar to the Catalan issue, where each leader over the next decade just kicks it down the road, there will be peaks and troughs of the movement and it’ll continue indefinitely.
 
Operation Poor Boris is in full swing I see.

Bots all over social media and the usual media suspects eulogising him.

Him and his vulture capitalist friends have used the pandemic to get richer and we'll all be made to pay the debts created by his bungs to his mates using our taxes. Also good cover for Brexit fuck ups but that's another thread.
 
At PMQ's he is woeful yet again - I note that he has little backing from his own side this week. His every utterance is met with a stony silence. He is done.
Makes me wonder of the Boris bots are his doing to fend off a leadership challenge.

He thinks he's Churchill again at the moment so I doubt he'll fuck off soon on his own accord.

Why is now not the time to learn the lessons of the failures in handling Covid, given that those lessons might help save some lives in this very much ongoing pandemic?
