Meeting Cromwell

Who would really want to be Boris Johnson right now? Almost feel sorry for the poor sod, he must be exhausted!
 
I think that ultimately the balancing act of stopping the virus and saving the economy is what’s cocked everything up. It doesn’t help that the response is being run by a bunch of twerps/earthworm Jim lookalikes.

we should’ve followed the significantly stricter lockdowns that have been enforced in places like Taiwan to really get on top of the virus and actually rolled out test and trace to manage any further outbreaks.

at this rate we’ve got another 12 months of lockdown limbo.
 
Quick question if you'll allow?
Irrespective of your political leanings, what exactly would You all do if you were the Prime Minister now?

Just a bit of fun (remember fun?) :2thumbsup:

I'd stop being dishonest with the figures. Tell people that the average age of people that die with Covid-19 is higher than the average age of death in this country. In reality, people that die of covid live on average a year longer than the average life expectancy in this country.

I might mention that the total number of deaths of people under the age of 40 since the start of the pandemic in this country is 42.

Stop being scared, death is a part of life and life is for living..... when it's your time, it's your time.

I don't like governments unhealthy obsession with keeping people alive at any costs, it's not their job.

collect taxes, build roads and keep the fuck out of my life.

.... good job I'm not PM huh? :D ;)
 
1. At the outset I’d have invested in an infrastructure whereby lessons could be delivered online to bubbles of kids - enabling continuity of learning and providing a balance between the need for protection and the need for adults to work

2. I’d have sacked any minister from breaking protocol, publicly criticised them, and withdrawn the whip

3. Rather than handing out millions to my mates’ mates, I’d have adopted a working contact trace system and ensured we had PPE in situ. I’d also have made sure testing was a centralised operation

4. I’d have accepted that the hospitality and entertainment sector was operating far more efficiently than the zero control retail sector and allowed it to continue operating

5. Vape shops would have been classified as essential shops

6. I’d be operating to a planned system which consulted with the sectors affected proactively and ensured time for planning and implementation - giving schools 40 minutes at the end of term to arrange for testing next term is abysmal

People saying “oh it’s a difficult situation and nobody could do better in the circumstances” is abject nonsense. The ineptitude running through this government is a historical low point in living memory - ministers were picked for their ineptitude to be compliant with Brexit and we have paid the price.

This is all hindsight. What would I do now if I were Johnson? Resign.

i would hide in a big fridge.
