    Surely you understand that when it comes to healthcare the UK Gov ie Westminster can only speak for England, as they are only responsible for healthcare in England. The other home nations have taken on the responsibility in their own countries

    Or maybe you don't get it

    I do get it and I also get that the reason we had such a high level of deaths has been because the lock down was brought in late and was poorly managed.

    The Senedd have been shite. But I don't see how you can absolve the UK Government of any blame at all. It's making you look like a lunatic.

    Countries that locked down early had the fewest deaths:

    Ive had a look at the newspaper references:

    The Guardian got it right talking about England not the UK

    Overall the papers said:

    Not enough preparation...In Wales thats down to the Senedd, yep PPE etc
    Slow on testing...............In Wales that's down to the Senedd, and we were worse in UK in getting our act together
    Large sporting events taking place.....Only one in Wales which the Senedd could have stopped but didn't. The WRU did though
    Schools remain open......In Wales that's down to the Senedd, they had the authority to shut them anytime
    Airports Open .......As above, the Senedd could have shut the few that we have, but didn't

    So the papers in their general way looked at the UK and UK Gov as if it is in charge of UK healthcare.

    But all the things listed above when it comes to Wales healthcare are the responsibility of the Senedd, and they were found wanting.

    So please stop giving me all this crap about blaming someone else. You'll be saying next that our schools are due to one this month because the UK gov said so. But no doubt you know that Education too has been devolved and is the responsibility of the Senedd
