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.
Not disputing your assessment of Johnson, but New Zealand, with a grand total of 22 deaths, hasn’t had any policy of wearing face masks for the public. And from what I see the public hasn’t worn them in any numbers.

No, but they do wear face masks across much of S.E.Asia where Covid looks to have spread far less so far than in Europe or America. And tests have shown reasonable quality masks reduce the spread of infection. But I'm not of course saying wearing masks is the only way the spead of Covid is restricted, the early lockdown done efficiently in NZ and in other countries obviously helped, the hot, humid climate probably helps too in SE Asia, about the only thing that Boris couldn't have done too much about.
 
I'm surprised the powers that be who control Boris have let him out for a few days this week. Hes guaranteed to cock up by either, lying, making false promises or just talking complete bollocks. He must be becoming a bit of an embarrassment for them.
 
I'm also hearing that Sharma tested positive but No.10 wont reveal that as the amount of Mps who would have to self isolate would be huge. If they had refused then the 'world beating' track and trace would have been just as useless as when Cummings broke the rules.

The Orange Order has announced plans to celebrate July 12 at home this year.

The annual parades marking King William III’s victory over James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 have been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Orange Order has announced a four-day virtual event from Friday July 12 to Monday July 13 to “celebrate the day online, in your home or at your door” in compliance with social distancing rules.
 
A serious question now.
Is anyone on here proud of how the government have handled this pandemic?
A simple yes or no would suffice but a detailed reasoning welcome.

That should be compulsory from now on, they can march up and down their gardens wearing their silly hats...
