By a long way, the best article I’ve read on the Tory’s response to Covid. Responses such as ignoring offers of PPE and ventilators from universities and research centres and instead give contracts to their friends in private industry who couldn’t deliver.

Anyone who defends the Tory’s after reading this is frankly, brain dead.

Agree completely - with the article and your post. Mind you the poll shows that nearly 5% of those who have voted have classified Boris/the Govt as ‘superb’. This is clearly not a genuine view and just done to wind people up. Even the most ardent Tories would be unable to justify that classification Imho.

Alongside your intense interest in music, is it WW2 or party political history that floats your boat? I'm not quite sure which one from this although, of course, it might be both.

My main bookcase might give you an idea.

6% consider the Government reaction as 'superb' ?? imagine how well the reaction would have been had the lockdown started even a few days/week/s earlier! easy in hindsight obviously though many were calling for it.

We have the worst death rate in Europe and the worst hit economy in Europe. The Government couldn't decide whether to prioritise life or the economy and ended up trashing both. Today we've had it explicitly laid out by one of the Government's own scientists at the time that if the lockdown had begun a week earlier (as scientists were basically begging the Government to do) the death rate would be half what it is. Half. That's 20,000 people, 2/3rds of the Amex, who would be alive right now who aren't as a direct result of Government policy. Think about when you're at the ground and there's a full house. Think about everyone on the row in front of you, and everyone on the row behind. Now imagine metaphorically that all of those people are no longer alive, and it could have been prevented.

Nah, absolutely superb job he's done. Can't fault it.

For those who thought Rory Stewart would be a lame leader of this country. Here he is on March 12th... Shame really.

Good point. Where are the voices of Tory dissent now? Johnson and his cronies have 'cleansed' the party to a frightening extent. Worse death rate in the world, worst impact in the economy in the world and a shambolic, bumbling approach across the board. And barely a bleat from the backbenches. Yet less than a year ago the very same backbenches were full of MP's frothing at the mouth at May's handling of Brexit. You have to wonder where their priorities lie..

Oh, I agree with all of this apart, disappointingly, from the figures you resort to. It's more than 20,000, and the Amex capacity is currently looking like a low estimate. But, beyond such pedantry, you're absolutely spot on in aligning the dire situation in death count with the equally dire situation for the economy.

And now the car crash of a government are blaming the high Covid casualty figures on the fact that the UK is a "global travel hub" - utter utter wankers :angry:
