Brilliant interview by Lord Sumption on the Emma Barnett show just now, articulating just how I feel about the lock-down.

I'll try to find a link later.

I’m sure he is brilliant but I can’t bring myself to listen to him.
 
Except that he could easily have died.

You are far too easily convinced by the media propaganda machine and of course your blue tinted glasses. He didnt die and now he has milked it aided by the Sun. Thousands have died, its them that should have your pity. Not the spoilt brat bellend that couldnt lead a conga!
 
CCJ, should I give up on asking for the positives from the government response...I’ve asked a few times. I am really just curious as to what you think.
I’ve even come up with one....the Nightingale Hospitals. Any more ?

You can ask all you want mate. I am not looking to have some sort of game with people who seem absolutely intent on slagging off virtually everything the Government does. Its not a binary situation as far as I'm concerned or a political one. My stance would be similar whichever Government were in power. There's some really good posters on here but there are others clearly with an agenda. I think we have a long way to go on this issue yet and there is a lot we don't know. People are sniping without being in possession of all of the facts.

Maybe you should of said that then fella. It was honestly a genuine question to you with absolutely no agenda. As you might of noticed (maybe not) I was quite happy to take on board from others the positives that they saw (like the Hospital).....maybe you can’t think of anymore.
Have a good day

We can only judge the info we have. From the info we have there’s very little to suggest the government has handled this adequately and a lot to suggest they’re a self-interested shambles blindly backed largely by people who can’t bring themselves to admit they know they’re ****s but they’re the ****s who promised them one thing they wanted.

I know of several who have died and they all have my sympathy. I haven't even said BJ had my pity.
What a stupid post!

Roughly translated - "I can't think of anything positive the government has done or anything thing they've done well".

Conclusion - "I know they've ****ed up but just can't bear to admit it to you, you lefty bar steward"

Going to say nothing about Booris's dice with death...but I will just say

THE SUN

The Sun that the whole of Liverpool and another half the population will not buy
THE SUN!!!!

The thing is....I really don’t think Labour would of done any better....in fact with the eternal infighting in that party it could very well of been a lot worse. I don’t think the government set out to make mistakes....they just did. And for us, the people, not to hold whichever government in power responsible...would be plain wrong.
