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

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

An okay job. They’re doing their best but it’s an impossible task. There will be many casualties regardless and people seem to forget that and act as if it’s simple. It’s unknown territory and every action people will criticise.

Also to note The UK is highly populated for the size of the country so it's easier for the virus to run through it compared to other countries

Yes, because that's exactly what i said.

I've pointed out the problems with the governments strategy (or lack thereof) from the start. Our carers still don't have the right equipment, we're not tracing and isolating nearly enough, despite claims that we have "the capacity" to test 100k per day.

The way we've handled this has been pretty appalling. Stick to reading the sun.

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

That’s always been one of my concerns given we’re a tiny little isolated island absolutely crammed to the hilt with gawd knows how many people .. ( it’s far , far more than the official figures that’s for sure )
