Little...There's masses! Is it fair that a few own so much land and the many occupy so little?

Look at what's happening now, we're dying because lord farquad needs his 600 acres for croquet

Croquet or not we'd suffer more with less green space. Mother Earth needs a break.

Not really. I mean it’s a difficult response for any government so I do give them a bit of slack but at the same time compared to other countries their handling has been terrible. They had a time period where there was warnings and they did little to nothing to prepare the country for a outbreak. And like smithy said they needed to make restrictions more in place instead of blaming everyone else but themselves.

The poll is pointless on a heavily Left leaning forum quite out of step with the rest of the country.

They've done a terrible job and if it wasn't for Rishi Sunak, we'd have been in a much worse position.

Boris was inattentive and didn't care, he skipped a lot of meetings about Corona and he's probably relieved as **** that he got it because now he gets sympathy when really, he should be getting criticised all over the place for his handling of the crisis.

If you want to see an example of a good response to this crisis, look no further than New Zealand. Jacinda Ardern is a prime example of what leaders should be doing.

if the thickos wont follow the current restrictions, what makes you think they will follow more rigid ones

New Zealand is a tiny country with fewer citizen and are not a rich country so its easier to lockdown and do whatever

Never forget that if Boris had his way, things would have carried on as normal and we'd be sacrificing the elderly and the vulnerable with the excuse of building 'herd immunity'.

yes all that is unnecessary ok partially agree with you there, but really no one deserves to be insulted like that either, not even groups of people you dislike

Would you let your political opinions infer with your honest feeling on something as huge as corona? Or you just being super baity like usual and implying that others have?

Perhaps you should stop complaining about hypothetical situations that will never happen and actually focus on the issues at hand.

I know you have a hardon for Boris but complaining about Labour ain't gonna change the fact that he ****ed up badly. Whataboutism is nothing but a distraction tactic for people with nothing to add.

Lives wouldnt have been saved either way its 50/50 if you catch it so there is no point saying labour would have stopped people dying when its impossible to stop people dying with a vaccine, the thing that is saving most people is how their immune system deals with it and of course the doctors are trying to help them but its not really something that can be stopped right now
