Well a lot depends on what you chose to read. The majority of countries failed inevitably against an invisible enemy and saying our country didn't fail as much as yours does no good.
Boris has ordered a public inquiry into the Gov response to the pandemic and what lessons are to be learned. The question is did he listen to the advice of the experts or deliberately ignore them, the former is my belief at present. What are the reasons that he didn’t act quickly enough? Nicola Sturgeon said early on that the speed with which the virus tore through the population certainly wasn’t expected.
We don’t know all the ins and outs of what went on and until we do, I’ll not accuse one man, entirely on his own, PM or not, of being solely responsible for very many deaths.
