Do you remember David Amess who was killed not long ago EV? He certainly didn’t fit your unpleasant sweeping generalisation. That comment is contemptuous.

That'll be all MP's, Marmite as they all look after number 1.

Mistakes made with this Covid situation for sure, BUT would labor have done any better ? not sure! Nobody knew what was in store and I mean NOBODY. Not scientists, let alone Boris and certainly not Kier. Easy to find fault in retrospect eh?

You're very easily pleased, ValerieF

Nearly 2 years into this pandemic. You'd have thought that Johnson would have learned something about it by now. But procrastination and trusting to luck has been the order of the day right from the start and still is.

This hindsight thing is complete nonsense. Starmer has been ahead of the curve all the time...

I've been following several scientific experts on twitter since the start and they've barely got any hair left from tearing it out in despair at the government's failure to act in time. Every time...

Nobody could have done any worse...

Can you give some detail as to how you arrived at your theory Fanny?

Well have no theory and never sure who to vote for tbh. Think they all sound fabulous until they get into government! Let’s face it, whichever government is in, there is only a limited amount of funds SO yes, oldies will vote for more pension, more care facilities, young mums will vote for more money into education. Unemployed will vote for promises of work opportunities… and so it goes on BUT.. same pot eh? So where exactly does all this money come from?

Hello!
What do you think?
My theory (this afternoon, that is) is that Johnson perceived his father as ‘The King of the World’, and that he is trapped in a cycle of emulation.
Poor bloke, and poor UK
