It's time for Martial Law and as luck would have it that's what i changed my name to last week,Mr Martial Law...
As for the blame game,i've only began to blame people so i'm not stopping any time soon.
This particular Tory Government seem more interested in ways to make money from this pandemic rather than end it.
More importantly (and educate me if i'm wrong) the Government has only tried to get co-operation from other political parties about their own policies and haven't had a joint task force concerning Covid.

The Conservatives have always been about the money that's not news, why do people become politicians ?. It's not to make things better, in my opinion it's about the wage packet they get at the end of the month, call me cynical but i don't think any of them are any good. In Parliament they argue and bicker like school kids, when they have finished they all go in to the pub or bar and laugh and joke among each other. I have never trusted any Politician and not about to start.

Thread title hasn't helped.
.

Agree , and the wording of the question doesn't help either . Must admit when I read that I thought "here we fucking go"

 

[knome]

I'm looking forward to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" argument thread degeneration...

But seriously can you imagine what the reaction would have been by the general public if the government had said they were going to put us in a 2 month lockdown in march. I mean a proper lockdown, nobody on the streets or work (except essential infrastructure). Do you think most would have obeyed the law ! Some can't even follow the relaxed type of lockdowns we've been having. You'd have needed the army on the streets and that's not what they are for. Not sure of the legal aspects of live rounds being used on civilians.

Yip, and here is why I blame the government ..... they have one job to do here, protect the public.... it's clear the public needs protecting from themselves or we will be going on forever with tiers/Holidays go here but not there and other nonsenses that the public are never going to fully comply with......
Only the Governments can close down the airports, ban travel, etc....the public cannot do so
So yes full lockdown, army on the streets will protect the public IMO, anything short of this does not and will not work, it's been tried before and before and before

Maybe governments of the past would see their job was to protect the public. Today's politicians are in it for the money, power and popularity votes. Fucking pathetic is what it is.

.... serve the public.

 

[Simon G]

The only thing they should be protecting are my rights and freedoms as a citizen of the country.

It's not possible to speak of hindsight yet because the term relates to after the event.
The event is still going on and the government are still getting it wrong.
