But some people voted good so they probs used different criteria

Use whatever criteria you want.

Considering that every single government over the last 60 years has taken about 6 months to change even the slightest little thing I reckon they’ve done amazingly well

I think you only have to look at the response of a country like Vietnam to understand some of the ways in which we've dropped the ball (and continue to do so)

You can only blame the government for so much. Much is related to the dense population,. We must also take into account that our health service has managed to keep many people alive from other diseases creating a lot of vulnerable people, unlike other countries, and this means that we have a section of society that is much more likely to die when a virus like this comes along.

As i've also said before, lets judge after 2 years after weather patterns etc equalise around the world, and we can see what the picture is then

I am not saying that this government hasn't made mistakes, far from it, i just think that people should be clear on actual facts rather than speculating, and the facts will only come out after 2 or more years

People blaming them for deaths expecting them to save everyone is absurd

I'm sure "poor people are to blame" is precisely the narrative the government would like to emerge from this, yes

Then it is the GOVERNMENTS responsibility to impose stricter conditions, in Spain you’re not allowed out of your house for exercise, only for shopping, you would be fined otherwise, you are not allowed to go to work without special reasons, it is the government who should impose these restrictions, if people aren’t listening that’s because it isn’t being enforced properly

In Spain people fear the Guardia Civil, no one fears the police here

In fact you see footage of people actively challenging them and spitting and coughing, I doubt anyone spat in the face of the Spanish police, and if they did they would be beaten to a pulp with no come backs, so you can't really compare the two

Are you implying that the majority of people flouting the rules in the UK would challenge the police?

You only need to see pictures of who is out and about to see it’s mostly family’s and students

Yes that’s my take on things , pretty much .


Gawd knows what I’d do if I was a cop and some scroteball spat in my face ... as they do fairly regularly

I don't think that is true tbf. I wouldn't think for a moment that theres any merit in advocating a militia type response over our methods for enforcing civil obedience either.

There are powers our police have now that aid them if there is an issue, I haven't seen many cases of assaults thankfully the threat of a long prison sentence is a better deterrent than a smack in the mouth. (Though my guess is they'll get both)

The UK has suffered one of the world's most horrendous outbreaks of coronavirus, a senior World Health Organisation (WHO) official has said.
Asked whether the UK would end up with the highest death rate in Europe, Dr Margaret Harris, said: "We won't really know who had the highest rates, what really went on, until after this is over and we can analyse it properly. Clearly you are having a horrendous outbreak and making a tremendous effort to care for everybody but at this stage it wouldn't be fair to make a judgement one way or another."




The fact that Italy, Spain, UK, France, and USA, Belgium and Germany have all been so badly affected so badly makes me wonder about the virus being man made I know its been disputed and sequenced etc in a lab but still.....

Am I claiming that unemployed, lower class, benefit claiming people are not all the same and aren't as you describe? Yes.

Am I claiming that the people whose behaviour has been a problem aren't all unemployed or benefit claimants? Yes.
