I’ve a question for the Tory voters. How do you think the government is doing at the moment?

Highest % of the projected vote in political history. So I guess most people think ok.

I think Johnson will be lucky to survive this. It’s been disastrous. Most people I’ve spoken to are appalled.

Far be it for me to defend any government let alone this but one has to ask serious questions of those who's job it is to co-ordinate the logistics surrounding this little glitch in our otherwise sanitised lives.
Who told HMG that we had ample supplies of PPE when it is patently obvious we never did?
Who "conveniently" overlooked that the most vulnerable, ie those in nursing homes, would need the most protection?
Who allowed supermarkets to initially allow people to clear the shelves at the expense of the elderly, and by doing so encourage long queues to form in contrary of the distancing advice?

The list is endless and most of these issues should have been raised by senior civil servants so the respective minister could act accordingly.

If evidence comes to light that the government was well aware then your analogy will be correct and they are deserving of all our vitriol, but I think they just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Should we have locked down in January. Yes.
Should we have closed the borders to all traffic apart from trade. Yes.
Would the government have been called "racists" and "dictators" by the #fbpe cult and all the left wing commentators. Yes.

The pandemic has shed a light on the disaster that is globalisation.
It has also shed a light on how poor most of the world are in dealing with such an outbreak.

The WHO need to not accept any stories from states about pathogens / viruses as well and visit ground zero when these things hit. China did lie. And the WHO bought it.

Well thankfully, the opinions of the kind of left wing window licking soschuul meja haunting idiots you're likely to know bare little weight and even less importance.

Strawman. No one suggested closingBorders in January.

Should they have joined the EU PPE and ventilator scheme? - Yes.
……..Looks as if we did join, misinformation reflects badly on Civil Service

Would locking down a week earlier have saved thousands of lives? - Yes
Hindsight is always 20/20; and 'thousands' is an ungrounded number; misinformation again.

Should those that die in care homes be counted as dead? - Yes
They are, but in the formal national statistics. The 'hospital' number is for fast accurate comparator use and an international standard. Great pity we don't teach statistics and interpretation at school. WHO said testing is critical, testing is pointless without fast comparable and reasonably accurate statistics. The sluggish behaviour of the national statistics operation again reflects badly on the Civil Service.

Are we continuing to allow thousands into the country a day unchecked? - Yes
Really? ...and 'thousands'

Should Boris Johnson have attended Cobra meetings sooner? - Yes
Why? Johnson is actually being Prime Minister, something we've needed for a long time. The operation of Government is working very well and Ministers are now stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility

Is the truth important? - Yes
YES, and something that this crisis has shown is lacking in those who are actually paid to seek and defend it. The BBC and Guardian type reporting which has so damaged our political life should now be held to account. They are not the opposition; job in an emergency is to explain.

You are clearly on the extreme right of politics and buy into conspiracy nonsense.
Generally where there is a very serious threat to the state, parties come together. The paucity of thought and lack of leadership even now, in our opposition parties means this hasn't happened.

It seems we have been bounced into good governance but that has revealed the dire state of our politics and even more sadly, our senior civil service.

Oh dear. No hope for you at all. I can tell you that most ordinary folk don’t see it the way you do.

I'll just leave this here...

How DO YOU define most? Most in your social media echo chamber by chance???

An interesting development.

Next thing we know will be millions of moggies being abandoned. This doesn't surprise me and I wonder why other species have not been identified as carriers but I guess we are so concerned with testing ourselves that the animal kingdom get's overlooked.
Most virus are species specific and only pose a problem when the mutate and subsequently cross the boundary but if covid 19 is shown to be endemic across all mammals then it's going to be a long year.

Really? I call this bull**** clickbaitery. You watch, pretty soon it's going to be the fault of space lizards from dimension zero. People already believe it's caused by 5G so why not?

Which bit do you consider bovine excrement? The bit that says that once a virus takes on zoonotic properties it is a one way passage? Or the fact that this has come from the States where conspiracy theories abound?
I certainly am not suggesting that this came from anywhere other than SE China or is being transmitted by all warm blooded animals but if we infect our pets / farm animals etc then we have a real problem. Ask yourself how a tiger which is obviously in captivity managed to become infected? Only one answer and one we should not ignore.

Go and get your patches!!

I don't have an echo chamber at all actually. I'd say a couple of things though. There's a tendency to rally round the flag in times of crisis. Also - the truth will out. Hancock yesterday was spouting about the new approach of test, track & trace as if it's their idea. The WHO and other leading scientists were telling the government this approacgh combined with an early lockdown in Feb would save lives. Did 25-30,000 people have to die to prove the government were wrong? It was obvious to anyone that applied their mind to it. The **** up will become evident to most normal folk eventually. Don't forget that the press have now turned on Johnson.

BBC News - Coronavirus: Doreen Lawrence to head Labour probe on minorities

They'll be opening committees next to identify its gender. 🤣🤣🤣

Of course this virus is a card carrying member of the white supremacy group and the fact that minority groups are paying the ultimate price for it's racist bigotry is unacceptable. FFS!!! What with this obtuse bovine and the president of america suggesting salvation may come in the form of a daily dose of domestos is it any wonder we are struggling to cope with it.

What are they going to do? Check out Covid-19s Instagram , Facebook and Twitter for any signs of right wing tendencies?. You dont need a bloody enquiry to work out why. Larger family groups in inner city densely populated areas, a tendency to be more friendly in greetings, a lack of vitamin D, obesity and a lower average salary resulting in poorer health. There...just saved tens of millions of quid.

Not quite how I recall what was said. In fact, most people I know thought WHO was being unnecessarily obtuse. Hancock is actually doing a pretty good job, trouble is, our media reporters ain't. This morning, the BBCs reporter was deliberately trying to trip him up, woukdn't let him answer fully - so it's pointless having her trying to fulfill BBC duty to inform, rather it's actually dangerous. Sad to see even in this above politics crisis, we still suffer from fake and distorted information from those who purport to be unbiased.

The problem is the continuous lies from the government. The big one that is going to bite them is the EU procurement shambles where they risked lives for dogma and are now attempting to cover it up.

The fact that “most people you know” share your views on the WHO says more about your circle of friends than the WHO.

The EU procurement scheme is a shambles. Nothing being delivered till 2021. Oh and I'd rather we had our own British owned companies based in GB producing the equipment. Or do you want to outsource everything still to the "globalised" or in other words slave labour world... if the tax payer has to fund it...so be it.

The BIG question asked once we return to "normal" is are you prepared to pay in order to have home manufactured products or do wish to continue relying on cheap imports from the far east with it's (now obvious) shortcomings
Of course the irony is that those liberal lefties who advocate a global trading with countries that use a labour force with no legislative protection are the same as those who bang on about the minimum wage which makes our bottom end products uncompetitive .

Fake news. The first deliveries are expected imminently.

Where’s the Dyson and JCB ventilators?

Not needed now, thanks to superb handling of crisis. If you're trying to be clever at least keep up. Boy.

Not needed because we're leaving the elderly to die in care homes.

Like we always have for the last few decades??

All of a sudden the great unwashed and their respected (sic) leaders are showing concern for a group that have been on the receiving end of bugger all over the years, (apart from having their house taken), but now everyone is their guardian angel. Sorry I forgot the bit that limited PPE supplies to the staff but I'm sure that was just an over sight.
The simple fact remains that if social distancing had been rigorously observed we would be out of this by now with a fraction of the deaths but oh no the public aren't that stupid.

Have we had viruses traveling through care homes and wiping out the residents before? How would your parents were in one? I’ve got a 95 year old aunt in one and it’s terrible strain on her family that they can’t see her and she’s very upset and doesn’t understand what’s going on. Have a ******* heart you right wing ****.

No. If social distancing were implemented two weeks earlier as recommended we’d be out of it. With thousands less dead.
