Agree, cautiously agree, disagree.

I know we're all about seeing the past through the eyes of the present right now, but there were far fewer voices calling for lockdown back then than there are voices now saying it's obvious we should;ve locked down earlier.

You weren't listening to the voices.

Does Cheltenham Festival ring any bells?

There were plenty of voices. They were shut down and ridiculed.

As demonstrated by The Bozo visiting a CV19 hospital ward & shaking every hand the clown could find.

The only pity is that he survived his arrogant stupidity.

But then, the looks after his own.

Johnson has done a bad job in difficult times. He should have brought the UK into lockdown earlier. It was clear then.

The ones who die early due to government incompetence won't.

The ones who die for any reasons won't.

Tosh. Corbyn was clearly voted out on a huge majority. That was clear when they interviewed converted northern labour seats & their get B done drivel.

Folks can blame the quality of the opposition, I blame the 300 year old first fast the post system. If the UK was still rural plots of farmland ruled by wealthy landlords, great use FPTP. Today however - it may as well be a soft dictatorship.

Be serious if they had put Sir Keir up in time (as I recommended years ago) Boris would have at least have a much reduced majority if not his p45.

And, just in case you missed that ......

Taz is hard of thinking.

[scooterscot]

I don't know why you're being so hard on the guy.

He was clearly voted in on a huge majority, and once he masters the fundamentals of the English language, and can string two sentences together in it, he'll be a great sub-prime minister.

FTAOD Boris is dong a good job in difficult times much better than any alternative could do.

I presume that you claim in jest that "Boris is doing a good job", in the alternative you really need to go through the chronology of what Bojo has said, what he claims and what has he done.

Nah, he's off his meds again.

[Old Greg]

What are you on or are you always an obnoxious prat like most of the posters on this thread? FTAOD Boris is dong a good job in difficult times much better than any alternative could do. Any one would think you fancy the sour puss Laura Laura Kuenssberg's of this world with their vitriolic invective

Johnson has done a bad job in difficult times. He should have brought the UK into lockdown earlier. It was clear then. He should not have been boasting about shaking hands with people in a hospital:

What part of his job is BoJo well? Managing Covid? managing Brexit?
BTW Kuensberg is usually accused of supporting the tories

[tazdevil]

And how did we arrive at that situation with a Hobson's choice or dilemma at the last GE? It was the lack of foresight in voting for Brexit and the consequences thereafter.

It was blatantly obvious to me and millions of others that if the brexiters won the referendum, the agenda of the ERG would not stop there and making Bojo as the frontman made their dreams come true.

The current appalling state of affairs with the government, the economy and Covid-19 is a convenient smokescreen for Brexit and the dodgy dealings with Bojo's cronies. The UK has been given a transition period to prepare for the changeover from EU membership to non-membership. eg: to build port and customs facilities and to transition to the UK's own administrative authorities. So far nothing has been done.

It was always blindingly obvious that Boris was a massive cretin and would screw up everything on contact. But when you only have the choice between two unmitigated cretins...

It was either vote for him and get the worst Prime Minister ever. Or vote against him and get the worst Prime Minister ever.
