What we all should be doing, even those who support Boris Johnson, is holding him to account properly, rather than just blindingly accepting whatever he or his Government does. In this day of tribal politics this doesn't happen enough, people just defend others based on character, not policies. Learning from mistakes is what makes everyone better people; denying them helps nobody.
It's a good thing that Corbyn isn't Prime Minister, I very doubt he is up to the job and perform even worse than any previous PM.
Or it is sovereign countries protecting their borders from an ‘out of control’ strain of the virus.
It’s dramatic warlike talk like this which increases tensions between countries. You seem to be forgetting that France and the rest of the EU countries are still allies. It isn’t World War Three yet.
We can't speculate about Blair but you can about Corbyn?
As should the broadcast media.
Guess what, I'll do it. Fed up with insinuating that it spreads as people don't follow rules, it's actually the virus not following the rules, well how surprising is that. I've had enough of politicians saying we need to do X or Y when they have no idea and then wonder why the plan doesn't work. I have a scientific background and understand people's livelihoods are at risk as well as mental well-being. Oh and I realise there's more than just this virus to worry about, where do I apply?
Corbyn was the opposition at the same election as Boris that's why, it could have gone either way and be in charge during the pandemic, yesterday's leaders wouldn't have been voted into a position where would be dealing with it.
Probably
however many have criticised Boris handling of the Pandemic sort of linking the two.
Probably
It doesn't change my original view, the blocking of the ports is linked to Brexit as it would be an irresistible opportunity to flex the EU muscle to remind us what they can do in the event of a No Deal Brexit, the irony is that its too late, the new mutation is already in Europe.
I suspect a lot of countries are doing it more to be seen to be doing something to their electorates. In terms reducing this new strain’s spread, it probably achieves very little as I suspect it is all over Europe by now.
I voted tory a year ago and I think they all need a kick up the arse. I also regret voting tory but the other options were crap. If (and I know he's disliked here) Farage got his act together and stopped being so indecisive about his career, he could provide a decent opposition to the current 2 party state we currently have and maybe they'll stop fumbling around from scandal to scandal, but I digress.
I would not want Farage getting his act together. History has warned us about people like him. I doubt he will ever gain any popularity, unless this country gets even more mad.
He's mainly being acting like a rebel and not being afraid to show it (as in he's revealed a few times when he's acted against restrictions), although it won't come as a surprise on Twitter it's not going down well from what I can see. He did on the subject of the border closures though talk in unwanted language of asking if we're at war with Europe, otherwise it's all criticising the current strategy on lack of liberties.
Cheers Brad - I don't quite know what to make of him but I am interested in his efforts
