What a dishonest disgrace of a PM Johnson has turned out to be.

I am enjoying Starmer’s evisceration of Johnson during PMQ’s.

Comment in the Guardian.

‘ I'm a conservative.

And during a pandemic which will be on the scale of Spanish 'flu of 1918/19, I not only need the government to enforce a proper lock-down, I expect them to.

It is not a party-political issue to describe our governments response as lack-lustre, when their inaction has caused more deaths than the Blitz in 1940/41.

As things stand at the moment, going into lock-down just one week earlier than we did would mean we'd only have had a quarter of the deaths we've in fact had. As of today that is the difference between about 48,000 and 12,000, or 36,000. By some estimates the casualties during the Blitz were around 32,000.

I'd like to suggest a campaign slogan for the next election:

Boris Johnson: the man who killed more civilians in the UK than Hermann Goring.’


If you didn’t laugh you’d cry.

I whole heartedly disagree with enforcing an endless lock down & collapsing the economy in the process, just because a few people died of a slightly bad cold.

I continue to see support for  a never ending lock down on social media, with parents saying they wont send their children to school until there are no more cases or a vaccine. As I understand it, the child mortality rate for this little flu is almost nonexistent. I hope the government heavily fine parents who refuse to send their little shits back into education.

The teaching unions are putting their own interests above those of the interests of the nation’s children which isn’t surprising as, being lefties, nothing matters more to them than their own political point-scoring.  IMO.

I have to agree VS.  The R number is beginning to rise in England again, do these people never learn?

And I hope that no staff members of any school die having been infected by an asymptomatic child.

If the R number is rising surely it’s prudent to listen to the British Medical Association, as well as the teachers union, and not open schools prematurely.

I’m sorry but why do you think the Labour handling of the virus is Wales absolves the Westminster government of their horrendous handling of this crisis ? If Labour has handled it badly in Wales then they of course deserve to be criticised too. Why do you think the Mail ( read Conservative outriders ) published this article ? We have the highest death rate in Europe, second in the world...in fact the situation is so bad that the government has withdrawn the countries comparison chart simply to cover its embarrassment.

These Guardian Readers sure love to compare anyone and everyone with Nazis - just what is their obsession with them?  It's like an illness!  Everyone that doesn't sing from their very own songbook is a Nazi according to them.  Pathetic and childish and deeply offensive.

Do Spain... France.. Italy include deaths in care homes in their figures... I don't think they do so comparison isn't as simple as you think.
I don't see that Boris has handled this difficult situation badly. It's an unknown and poorly understood situation.
In my Borough there are 320,000 people... Yesterday one death. How long can we keep lock down going with the damage its doing to jobs.. lives and children's education.
