Yes, imo they have. I've posted many times the timeline of there responses and advice. It's not the WHO'S job to implement the rrecommendations only governments can do that. The science was there, the advice was there and we still failed.

the majority (governments included) seem to think that the WHO have done a piss poor job. If they had done their job properly we wouldnt be in this mess now. People can disagree with Trump's timings and his reasons, but the best way to get anyone you pay to do a better job is to withhold it until they do

So exactly what is it they did wrong?
Don't you think it's odd that we have to hold the WHO to account but any suggestion we hold the government to account for anything at all, even glaring failings and it's met with total shock.

He should absolutely be holding the Gov to account, but it does feel too early to keep om about an exit strategy. Sure, we need to know eventually and it would be good to know if the Gov has at least provisional plans, but there's more important things to focus on at this point.

The first 2 things Johnson did as PM is lie to the queen and try to illegally prorogue parliament to force maximum pain on the UK people by forcing through a no deal brexit. I'm no real fan of Starmer, but considering you said you don't have any political affiliation, that's a difficult set of double standards to navigate.

I’m just a good judge of people .. I’m Aspergers which comes with an awful lot of negatives but I see or notice things that many don’t and I’m rarely ,if ever, wrong on my judgement of people ..


There’s something very special about Boris , something that millions of others have picked up on even if they don’t know why .... they just like like him. I’m discounting anyone blinkered by their politics of course...



I ‘know’ that Boris is a nice , kind soul .

Yes Slim
at that time Brexit was Important to Johnson PM
anyway he got Brexit past due to his massive win
in the December 2019 General Election.
Pathetic Former Labour Old Leader failed.

And also Sad MP's (Ex Labour , Ex Conservative)
that set up their new Party
got Washed away...........................................

Also Brexit is to be Concluded
Jan. 1st 2021
No Delay.

Was it handing over the address of a journalist so he could get a beating? Cheating on his wives, including one fighting cancer? referring to gay people as tank top wearing bum boys? calling black people piccaninnies with water melon smiles? The being sacked for lying more than once? Lying to the queen and the public? Calling Muslim women letterboxes? Which of these highlight his nice, kind soul specifically?

Like I said, I don't care for Starmer at all, I find it entertaining the way people dress up the fact Boris hates the same people as them, as him having characteristics even his loved ones wouldn't lie about him having.

the new norm seems to be that it doesn't matter a crap what politicians say or do, their supporters will still rally round and whoop and cheer. I don't know anymore, as this isn't just the UK that's affected, its across the world, and it's weird to say the least

Yes but other places like India
loads of migrant workers got stranded
and have no food.
Modi ,the Harsh leader

This is the definition of being blinkered, having blind faith in anyone let alone a politician is not logical. If you are inexplicably drawn to boris it doesn't mean the rest of us will be, and his actions will be held to the same standard as everyone else's.

Check on his current popularity standings ... I’m hardly alone in having a soft spot for him

Please don’t claim that it’s not possible to ‘read’ someone ...

I wouldn’t trust Corbyn , Blair or Cameron to look after our hamster .

You and I read people very differently, that is apparent. His approval rating is not 100% therefore it's not that much of a stretch to imagine there are others, like me, who think he is lacking in admirable qualities.

I know you're trying to troll, but you're not good at it for one, and you're the person who has to ignore the actual hate fuelled language of the guy you're crushing on like a 10yr old at a one direction concert.
