I had thought better of you. Disappointed. I suppose at least you come out and admit you ignore the facts placed clearly before you. The rest don't even bother.

Quote: wrencat1873 "Of course there are significant differences between all of the nations involved and equally, there are differences in population mass and, yes, we may have large numbers of Chinese students in the UK.
However, despite having a few extra weeks to plan our response to the virus, the UK is stacking up casualties, greater in number and still at a quicker rate than those countries that we would usually choose to measure ourselves against.
IIRC, you were on of the posters who ridiculed my suggestion thet the UK had a bigger problem than just about all of our EU partners and yet, here we are 2 weeks later, heading the field and drawing clear of the rest.
The post that you chose to reply to this time was in response to "exiled down south" suggesting that Boris and the Tories were doing a great job - hello - they are not doing a great job
They are still taking the mickey out of the population.
First of all suggesting there wasn't a suitable test, despite Germany, South Korea, Singapore etc, etc being "happy" to test their population and instead, they fabricate their numbers - 100,000 tests a day by the end of April ?? FFS, they "hit" this figure twice and only by counting tests that were "in the post" and now, we cant actually hit it, it's embarrassing
They have utterly failed the staff and residents in care homes accross the country - at least Bojo appeared embarrassed himself over this and had no answer to Starmer's questions.

So, are YOU happy with the job that our government is doing - I'm certainly not and I remain thankful that none of our older relatives are currently in care homes.

Just as they did during the Brexit campaign and the GE campaign, the twisting of the truth (lies) continue aplenty and we still have a fecking huge recession to look forward to when we eventually come through the virus situation.

Do you think they will accept ANY responsibility for any of this or will we be overloaded with blame for the scientists who's advice we have been following.'"

Am I happy? Of course not. I've made it clear what we could have done better, but I don't accept the common accusation that 'everything is the government's fault'.

The difference between you and me is that I take circumstances and facts into account and dig for information. I gave you reams of numbers in that last post that clearly highlight and help explain the counting discrepancies here, and against other nations - your response 'I'll ignore that'. Absolutely typical. You rant and ignore the facts. That's why I'm calling you all pub bores - you're the grumpy old drunks at the end of the bar railing against the world with nonsense and conspiracy, wilfully ignorant of the facts.

It used to be possible to engage in a decent level of debate and conversation on here even with those that oppose you. That last two pages show exactly who cares to dig into what's going on, who can form a reasonable debate, and who just rants.

I certainly don't recall ridiculing any suggestion we had a bigger problem then our EU neighbours. Far from it. Risk management, forecasting and disaster recovery on a global scale plays a large part of my work role. I watched CV19 spreading from the very start and spent weeks planning and reacting. I said to my wife in mid-Jan CV19 would be everywhere within months and my view at that time was "we're probably all going to get it". Don't tarnish me with that brush.
