    Given the different methodologies for counting deaths that is not statistically significant better performance.

    Hungary, Czech republic, Bosnia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Moldova, Slovakia, Belgium, ITALY, Slovenia, Croatia and Poland

    They all done 'worse' than the UK. I expect France and Spain to finish worse than us when the final count is in.

    Sorry to hear of your loss.
    It was you who raised the comparison with Emily Thornberry though.

    Nobody said it was significantly better. You said Italy done better than us. We just showed you were lying/shooting from the hip.

    Thank you.

    I simply demonstrated that racism is not primarily coming from the Conservative party. It's ingrained amongst politicians from all sides.

    Read my post again. I didn't say we had done worse than Italy. We should have done better though.

    Like adults we agree to disagree Pete rather than resort to childish name calling

    Naming one Labour politician who you claim is racist doesn't demonstrate anything of the sort.

    Fair point. However, are you suggesting that there's not a culture of anti-Semitism ingrained within the Labour party from Grassroots to the HOC?

    we'd have had difficulty acting like New Zealand, Australia, South Korea or Taiwan
    should we have expanded the size of the UK by 560 times or 100 times to be like Australia or New Zealand?
    South Korea had a lot of screening and testing centres and diagnostic laboratories at the beginning of the pandemic
    Taiwan have had more deaths in the last two weeks than the time previously since the pandemic started. They have also been very poor at vaccinations.

    Many Labour politicians are very anti Israel for very good reasons and I have little doubt that for a significant minority that crosses into anti-semitism. But I have never been a Labour member so my opinion is not based on any inside knowledge.

    The big cities in Australia and New Zealand are similar to much of the UK in population density. They succeeded by having early and strict lockdowns, good tracing and proper quarantine of incoming people. All of which we could have done. We've done an excellent job on vaccinations.

    Nothing to do with the different success rates though.

    they dont seem to understand anything
    they are obsessed by losing most of the votes and think they have to lie to keep going
    do you remember Corbyn claiming he'd found documents saying the Tories were going to "sell off the NHS"?
    Crazed lefties always lie but now the voters realise that more than ever
