[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[nicko31]

Tories boast of record NHS funding, but where, exactly is the funding going?

Blimey when the Spectator piles in you the Tories are in trouble

Significantly. We’d be in the EU for one thing. We’d have not allowed the Blonde Bullshitter his opportunist lunge for power. We’d be wealthier per capita, we’d (assuming the coalition or either Lab/Lib had survived into a second term) not have spaffed so many millions on private services companies during Covid and instead used our trained health workers to operate the vaccine rollout and test and trace.

If Gordon Brown had been in a position of power during Covid, he had many faults but was capable of handling detail. I suspect there would have been clearer more consistent guidance and a better designed furlough scheme.

We wouldn’t have suffered any of the supply chain or border control issues we’ve had as a result of Brexit, and we wouldn’t have been subjected to the loss of international influence and credibility that we’ve endured in the last few years.

However, Britain voted for stupidity and prejudice, and has reaped the reward.

A slow handclap for the Conservative Party of Britain from me.

Thank you for your detailed answer, I don’t think you’re far wrong sadly.

He probably mis spoke when he said he didn't remember.
Or maybe he didn't remember that he had originally mis spoken.

Either \ or......

The very idea of having someone of Brown's capabilities in charge during COVID, or even a Cameron ? But no, the British electorate decided this would be better

Boris Johnson's response to COVID was 'mad and dangerous’- top official​

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's approach to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic was "mad and dangerous" and his constant indecision made it "impossible" to tackle the virus, the government's top civil servant told officials. The exchanges between Simon Case, the government's most senior official, and officials in which he also described Britain's response in 2020 as a "terrible, tragic joke", were shown on Monday to the inquiry into how the government handled the worst health crisis in almost a century.

If ever a nation got the exact Government it deserved

And, sadly, I appreciate the irony of the emoji

You don't wonder how many more would have survived if TM had remained in post.

Johnson really was the worst PM at the worst time, a tragic timeline of events.

Well he was Director of Communications, it would be worrying if he didn't

He does though. And at least it looks like I've picked a good week to be housebound with Covid. If only someone had mentioned what a completely self-centred, corrupt, lying, incompetent, chaotic, baboon Johnson was before he was elected to lead the country through Covid .... oh

A kakistocracy (/kækɪˈstɒkrəsi/, /kækɪsˈtɒ-/) is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.[1]: 54 [2][3] The word was coined as early as the seventeenth century.[4] Peter Bowler has noted in his book that there is no word for the government run by the best citizens,[a] and that the aristarchy may be the right term, but still, it could conceivably be a kakistocracy disguised as an aristocracy.[a]

It's finally becoming abundantly clear what many knew at the time, which is that there is no doubt whatsoever that Theresa May, David Cameron or Gordon Brown would have saved thousands (probably 10s of thousands) more lives than Johnson and his sidekicks Cummings and Sunak.

Completely indefensible

 

[Pevenseagull]

Fruity language ahoy!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Cummings messages 'useless xxxxpigs in charge' 'C'bomb on Hancock.

Isn't he being quizzed later today?

Should be fun.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Cummings is quite incredible. The very definition of Narcissistic personality disorder.

Makes you wonder how the hell Britain managed to Govern itself before he arrived to save us. I can't believe I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Sunak being at the top table with Cummings and Johnson

 

[Frutos]

Vile.

 

[jimhigham]

Callous bastards that see us all as nothing more than economic units.

Sadly chimes exactly with how I imagined they were viewing the pandemic at the time.

Bravo placard person on the lunchtime news!

Vile.

The funny thing is that a load of the people he thinks should have been sacrificed thought he was the best politician ever!

They probably still do.
