Brandon Lewis, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (of course I knew that... NOT), got asked in the same interview...if a family from Spain could come and go on holiday to the lake district and holiday there....whilst a similar family from UK could not he ummed and arrrred and tried so hard to say it was different, but he again fell flat on his face.


Anyone see Dispatches on Channel 4 last night.
I knew most of it already, but seeing the pictures on a time line of Boris' superman speech about taking advantage of the pandemic...and shaking hands with everyone at the hospital....and the words of the modellers who could not believe what we were doing. Finally the Spanish story of how the Madrid footy fans could not see their team in their own country but could travel 400 miles to see them here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the damning disclosure that Macron phoned Boris to tell him his plans over the response were dumb.

I cannot believe some of the things...I was always giving them leeway as it was such abig and novel pandemic...but this was not mistakes...it was arrogance...it could not happen here
Even the more stringent Tory voters are starting to damn the government they helped elect. There are still those in denial of course, every village has one. The amount of people I have met who wouldnt vote for this lot again surprised me. It continues to be a shambles even now. How has this country ****ed up so badly?

<laugh> you do make me laugh bob. You only post this to try and convince yourself. People will still vote Tory and many people don't blame them for this... It's a disease. In 4 years people will be thinking more about the economy and jobs.

You spend all your time on here moaning about everything the government does. Like the 100K tests, it's a broken record. The majority of people listen and understand. Sadly and you are correct, you get a few who spend all their time moaning and don't understand much.

You seem very informed on how I spend my time Ellers. Dont concern yourself mate. I admit I dont understand it all. I dont understand how people accept being lied to. I dont understand how the government are proud of their handling of coronavirus. I don't understand why or how anyone can defend them. I dont understand how this track and trace is world beating ha ha , I don't understand why 2 swabs on one person is classed as 2 tests....oh yes I do, to mislead the public. I cant really help it if people like you fall for it.

Face masks! We have been told from day one (by the scientists) that they are problematic? suddenly they are essential?
 
Face masks compulsory on public transport from 15 June. No new evidence presented on this. If it’s important, why not make it immediate? Or even ****ing retrospective, these twats can say anything and get away with it, because no one is listening or taking them seriously.

To control an epidemic with public policy the government needs two things - speed and trust. We have a fat, lazy liar as a prime minister, no wonder the fail is now reaching epic proportions.

The government are doing a brilliant job. Why do people bash them. It's been really successful
 
Certainly dont mate. Why do we have one of the highest death rates in the world?
Many reasons and I am not going through it all again. Done that 2 weeks ago. Mistakes/understanding/naivety/BAME/Obesity/Diabetes/age/population/living/China/idiots in the population/greed Not just the government's fault but I am sure some will think it's all their fault?

Sheer arrogance, personified in Boris Liar proudly boasting he'd shaken hands with everyone on a hospital visit, including Covid patients. And personified by the we are too f***** pretty attitiude to wearig the masks that Countries who had previous experience of such virus before, wear without thought, and without infecting as many others.

It’s a real shame for Boris and his pals that he has such a ****, unfit, stupid, diverse electorate making him look bad, isn’t it?
