I don't really get why people blame Boris when he has repeated so many times that he is following science

Exactly. He has both scientific and medical advisors behind him and is utilising them well.

Because he's the leader of the country and mistakes made are his to claim responsibility for, well, his and his voters that put the Tory party in a position of power.

It will come as no surprise that no I don't think boris has been consistent or genuine in his responses to the threat facing the country, he suggested 250,000 tests would be carried out ..when his medical expert responded he quoted the actual figure was 25,000.

He gave credence to some pseudoscience as in the antibody tests... these do not yet exist which makes the man no better than a snake oil salesman!
Giving false hope to all.

We all know he and his ilk would love nothing more than th run with herd immunity and sacrifice 1000s. ..but he knows that goes against experts the world over and he would never get away with his ' for the greater good' machinations.

He wanted us all to sacrifice our loved ones ..for what? Why?

This had so easily been forgotten already, people are too scared, bamboozled or overloaded with information to see the rapid 180 he made on this, the suggestion alone should be unforgivable... but no, once again the Wolf in sheep's clothing manages to pull the wool over eyes and ears.

Pretty much everyone called bull**** on the immunity plan as soon as he said it, it's why he backpedalled so quickly.

The only thing that Boris has done right is make sure that people will be protected and provided for and that seems mostly down to Rishi Sunak. They've gone above and beyond in that regard but Boris' delayed response and his apparent disregard for human life will cause damage that could have been avoided.

I think we should have followed Ireland's example, I predict they'll be far less affected by the virus then we will be because they took action early.

Look at South Korea, like with the rest of Asia, they were hit hard but their quick and stringent response has turned the tide. They're due another wave, apparently, but they seem more prepared for it than most countries.

I back Boris.

Anyone who doesn't should go out and protest, im surprised they ain't. The brains of them.

Im probably as surprised as the moaning people are that he hasn't downrigtt ruled marshal law on us...only they are all probably asleep unable to slag him off in this desperate time...some of them may be travelling back to England after a days ski ing in aviemore..

We should also remember that the only reason huge financial steps have been taken to support people, is that the economic damage of doing that is less than the economic damage of allowing huge swathes of the working and middle classes to go bankrupt. It's a move to protect the economy, not a humanitarian move. That doesn't make it a bad thing of course but its important to keep motivations firmly in mind.

[user104658]

Same with the efforts to support businesses big and small: better for the economy to ensure that people have jobs to return to, than to deal with mass unemployment in 6 months.

He has backed the people.

We have let him down, we saw it as a telling off..we went nah nah nah..it's our fault, not his.

Quite right Parmy

Boris loves people who stay on their knees cleaning up the slop and blame themselves.

I'm sure your knighthood is in the post after all this is over.

[Twosugars]

Let's not forget that so far the self employed have been left behind.
I expect the chancellor will have to make another announcement about helping them.

Economic help is a no brainer and not some sign of generosity. Otherwise there would be not much left from the economy after this is over.
