    Yer go on then, you said lots of countries are gobsmacked, not one guy has an opinion, so post some links where countries ( not randomers opinions ) have actually gone on record as saying they are gobsmacked ( or words to those effects ) about what the UK has done. I've genuinely not seen anything but I'm happy to be enlighten

    Most of the poorer Eastern European countries didn't do anything meaningful regarding the virus 1 because they couldn't afford to and 2 the people wouldn't have it.

    As it turned out the virus hasn't spread and killed people in such big numbers as some claimed it was sure to do, which makes us the ones who over reacted and them very very lucky.

    It isn't research. It's just on my computer upstairs.

    Just as an aside, the following things are not considered research: Youtube videos, google, anything written by David Icke, facebook memes, people on twitter that aren't verified.

    Just in case anybody ever utters the immortal words "wake up, do your research."

    So the Italian one is a papers opinion as is the Irish one, as is the Greek one,

    Australia having an opinion on something we haven't tried ( suppose you had to try and find as much as you could )

    Second Australia one is again just someone's opinion which is based on someone else's opinion ( this person has unfortunately lost someone to covid so there views are always going to be leaning to one side )

    So basically thanks for posting more singular persons opinions! I'm pretty sure our media has posted articles in exactly the same way talking about other countries!

    It's obvious you just want to slate the government at every single possible opportunity and no matter what they do or say you won't like or agree with. It's so easy for you me and 99% of the population to sit here and pull decisions to bits with the benefit of hindsight and also without the responsibility of our decisions actually meaning anything or effecting anything!

    Well I think you need to check again, I couldn't find the word "gobsmacked" in any of the links you posted.

    Anyone remember the news in March from Belarus when their president said he would be taking no action regarding the virus? Vodka and sauna's he recommended. Total deaths from the virus to date 116.

    You should ignore what Steven Twat says - he's already had two posts pulled earlier today for being a knob
