122,000 tests including 27,000 home tests, so approx 93,000 tests complete would you be congratulating the hard work if they got to 101,000, they are human beings carrying out all the work you know, it’s not carried out by magic you know fallible human beings like yourself who make mistakes ..

You should never make excuses for any governments that lie, even the ones you happen to support. Hold them accountable, don't try to sweep inconvenient truths under the carpet.

the 100k figure is dodgy and if they are lying about that, what else are they lying about?

I dont know, im sure you have a long list

Btw I have never voted Tory but I have Labour including our current useless London Mayor, I am supporting the current governments efforts to get on top of the crisis yes, unlike you who are willing them to fail

Btw did you sort out the distance errors in your shop...shameful if you havent addressed it

Another unnecessary comment... are you aware what you are suggesting here? I've been accused of this too, that there is some joy in the failings we've experienced in the country due to the slow response and PPE issues. And worse are hoping for worse.

Can you understand how insulting that is? This goes beyond politicising the issue it's downright offensive.

Nobody is willing them to fail. What a cruel and unusual thing to say.

But, they are failing. It is not helpful to be blind to this because tens of thousands of people are dying. I’m guessing there’s tens of thousands of people yet to come.

People claiming their efforts are good or excellent as it stands are the ones who are truly (unintentionally) willing the country to fail if anything.

Demand more from your government.

What a load of ****. I'm not willing anything to fail, you just cannot handle criticism of the government. Governments should be held accountable for their actions, if you disagree with that then you'd probably love living in China or North Korea but I for one believe in freedom. If you see that as me willing the government to fail in the middle of a crisis then that is a catastrophic failure on your part to understand what I'm saying. Do better.

Nice attempt at baiting there at the end, stay pressed and obsessed and remember your basic reading comprehension, it'll help you differentiate between wanting to hold a government accountable to it's lies and hoping it fails xx.

Ok I'll rephrase for those who are having a dig. I have been critical of the current governments response... where I haven't politicised the issue is suggesting any other party could or would have done better....

Where I got my information was questioned, it was a .gov website.
I was accused of wanting the government to fail because I'm a labour supporter, I don't.
To suggest that is akin to saying I'm happy about the current level of deaths due to the poor initial response to the virus, and I am not!

Dont forget, Boris decided his end of year holiday wasn't enough for a new pm, so he took half of February off for another holiday, with the virus already rampaging across Europe and well on it's way here.

Considering this is Britain, and the way Britain is today..the government has done exceptionally well on keeping the population under control and the army off the streets.

Dezzy..you openly brought your life onto the forum when you plugged your book.

So it's fair for Cherie to simply ask you about your work environment during such difficult times...no?

Not when her friends used that information to harass me outside of the forum, no.

I get the feeling that she's trying to fish for more details about my work and I won't oblige.

You guys don't understand this but I'm entitled to a life outside of this forum. You and yours' need to follow my lead, I'd never pull that **** on any of you, don't feel justified in bringing my personal life into **** it doesn't belong in.

Lol I have no need or desire to fish for information,, I’m just gifted with a half decent memory, you said yourself you sign off peoples holidays so you are management and even if you weren’t in the current climate most people would bring an error in distancing to management attention.... ...don’t drag me into your book review thing..nothing to do with me mate as well you know...

But you brought your life onto the forum via your book, what happened after that has sod all to do with Cherie.

You are taking your anger that's built up from that incident out on Cherie and that's very unfair cause she is simply asking you a question about another side of your life..you ain't prince harry son..you can't pick and chose!
