Give Boris Some Credit

[Bodd]

Gordon Bennett is a real person

He was the Editor of the New York Times... If I remember rightly...

See if you can find him on Google.

If not he's down my local after work on a Friday.

Not 20/20 hindsight I saw that it could turn into a major problem and acted, I am just an ordinary geezer educated to O level & ONC not a professor or Oxbridge educated

Big difference between acting for yourself and shutting the country down..You do fancy yourself as Nostradamus judging from your name,you read the tea leaves or you more a Taro bloke?

You’ll be lucky. All that shower can do is complain. They won’t tell you who they voted for or who, in their esteemed opinion, would have done any better.

Well said Mottie.Spot on AGAIN!

I can't speak for anyone else, but funnily enough I'm talking about BJ because he is PM. If someone else were PM, I may well be critical of them, too.

I don't know why you bang on about Tory vs Labour, it's not a political thing. With situations like this, it's about doing a good job.

So who do you think would have had the foresight to act better than Boris. Excluding your esteemed self of course.

 

[SirGalahad]

The blue bots argument has now descended to the absure projection that we should be lucky that Boris is in charge having let over 30k die because if it was Corbyn it would be worse.

The mental gymnastics, torpitude and moral vacuum of these appeasers is boundless.

 

[SirGalahad]

Don't require foresight. Ardern, Merkel etc all acted way better. Unless you really have your head in the sand.

Have a read.

Unlike Italy, the United Kingdom had time to prepare for the coronavirus tsunami. But as the death toll climbs, critics say Britain's response has suffered from a series of deadly mistakes and miscalculations.

GPs still cannot get access to tests performed by Deloitte.

The results of hundreds of thousands of coronavirus tests carried out at privately run drive-through centres in England have not yet been shared with GPs or local authorities, who complain they have “no idea” where local disease clusters are.

GPs told the Guardian they had been “totally left out of the conversation” after the government said it was still “working on a technical solution” to get Covid-19 test results into individual GP records in England, having promised to do so weeks ago.

having let over 30k die

Bizzare point of view..Your utterly ridiculous hate of Boris is equally limitless and mind numbingly cretinous

He has been an overwhelming failure at a time of crisis as has this Government.

How you can defend the indefensible when so many have died reflects more on your moral bankruptcy than anything else.

Certainly is a big difference, it was chance to save thousands of lives squandered by an incompetent government

Anyone else.
