He had no explanation of why schools closed today, one day after they opened. Opened by saying everything they’d done would have worked without the new strain, making it political. Compared vaccine roll out to the EU, also political. I assume your focus is on how he delivered not what he delivered, to which I’d probably agree - but he still had that smirk. That cowardly aura. I can’t find myself to say anything positive about him.
There are dim idiots in this country who fall for this fool and believe he turns shit into wine.

The government have been silent on the role irresponsible employers/retail may have contributed to spreading the virus.
Yeah it's ridiculous. My boss was working from home from the beginning of December because his wifes parents were up and they're considered at risk yet still expects the rest of to be working from the office as normal..

Sadly so. Ultimately we have got exactly what we deserve with this government and those too dumb to realise it just keep doubling down.

I mean we've gone from "kids must go to school" to "probably won't be able to have exams this summer" in less than 24 hours. That's pretty feckin special right.

Even the dumbest of the the dumb must surely wonder what new information has come to light in that time.

The dim idiots are the majority. I heard a lady on the BBC this morning complaining that her beloved Boris should have been knighted in the NY honours because everything he has done has been absolutely right...

Makes me angry just thinking about it. Cowards are running this country.
Same. So frustrating that almost everyone saw this coming.

Sage advised lockdown in Sept, it was ignored and then the lax tier system came in. Prime example; London being in tier 2 when it should have been tier 3 also contributed to the clusterfeck down there.

Christmas easing was ill advised but they did it anyway, only to have to U turn last minute.

Schools - since they reopened the teachers and unions and asked for caution. Both political parties have used schools for point scoring instead of thinking about safety.

We have highest death rate in Europe. Meanwhile New Zealand celebrate New Year, covid free.

The UK government are not competent and on top of that they are not taking it seriously. Despite the faux serious faces.

So frustrating and predictable.

I think there's a kind of national Stockholm Syndrome going on with people that think like this.

They'll always respond with something like "imagine if Labour had got in" like that means anything.

Also, all this late decision making and wishy washy guidance just throws further fuel into the fire of all these conspiracy loons and covidiots. It's like they can't comprehend that their own government could actually be that incompetent. But yes, they really can.

They're showing some hospital staff on the BBC atm, one was nearly in tears.

Make those selfish rule breakers/ "it's all a conspiracy" people go help on those ICU/ COVID wards by cleaning up etc

Surely they need to open the nightingale hospitals?
