RE: Win win for DHSC NCYT and INDIA27 Apr 2021 14:34
Tomozulu, the last time I checked the Conservative Party are in power and have been for recent history. Therefore, we can only judge the response by those in power. Saying anything along the lines of imagine if Corbyn was in power is completely irrelevant and is in effect a justification for the poor response our govt has taken right from the beginning.
Remember in Feb20 when thousands were dying in Italy? Boris went on holiday claiming Covid is no worse than the flu (which incidentally kills thousands of people when left unchecked.
Remember when he was refusing to lockdown when his advisors were telling him to do so?
Remember when the WHO was saying to 'test, test, test' ad the govt were claiming there was a shortage, despite all of us knowing that Novacyt had a test available?
Remember Dido Harding of Test&Trace saying they didn't expect the testing demand to increase in autumn '20, despite the scientific advisors telling us in the spring that they expected covid to increase in the autumn?!
I could go on all day. The point is, at every opportunity our Govt, the current party in power, have at best c*cked it up.
I would even go as far to argue that such a poor response lead to far more damage to the economy than a hard response. Look at Theatres, nightclubs etc... They haven't been open for over a year!
