• The most important time was wasted before now. We had a few weeks to be proactive in tracing and eliminating spread. A lot of time is now being used covering for that decision.

  • I don't think we will know if a good / bad / unacceptable job was done on this until the inevitable inquest and that's much further down the line.

    But sure, if you want agony on agony just hope that Boris is out of the picture for months or dies. My opinion is that in this unprecedented crisis, someone with some brains and a smattering of political legitimacy at the controls is probably better than the alternatives. Yes, that's going to be unpopular here. I can take it. Hnnnngggg.

  • I agree we will have a better picture after the event. It also seems fairly clear that the actions in the previous months have led us to where we are currently. A lot of energy spent now is because of those earlier decisions.

  • This is exactly the 'Rally round the flag' shit that is seeing Trump at his highest ever approval rating, regardless of his completely incompetent and farcical performance during this crisis.

    Exactly the same could be said of Boris and his government during this crisis. Not a single correct decision taken at the right time and communicated well to the public. Yet, we should 'support the PM'. Bollocks.
