Why should anybody give it a rest Jabberwok? Aren't you brave or resilient enough to face the truth?

Almost, but not quite (yet) a world beater

Boris Johnson should stop this hollow boasting. He has nothing to boast about. Even if we make allowances for the fact that he's been ill, he and his special advisor could hardly have done a worse job if they'd tried.

Who cares whether we have a “world beating” track n trace system? Surely better to have one that actually works?

Another world beating achievement, Sterling is bumping along the bottom of the exchange rates, we are doing so much worse than other countries. One thing for sure we have a world beating buffoon as PM, he may still be below par due to virus, no excuse for delusion.

Boris Johnson has heralded the UK's "world beating" contact tracing system.

He might also have advertised the "world beating" testing system, the "world beating" screening at airports, the "world beating" supply of PPE, the "world beating" number of ventilators we already had, the "world beating" early lockdown or the "world beating" compliance with government rules, especially by Dominic Cummings.

The sad fact is that the only "world beating" statistic we can claim is the number of deaths, many of which could have been avoided if we had a competent government.
