You have to blame the party though. It was obvious Corbyn was never getting elected. He was an easy target. It played out exactly as everyone knew it would and no one did anything about it. They just handed Johnson and his cornies 5 years. It blows my mind thinking about it.
The super rich are of absolutely no value at the best of times, during situations like this they have absolutely zero purpose. The people who are being begged to help across the political landscape are workers. If people can't understand that then things like this will happen again.
The craziest thing is only a month ago we were talking about "low skilled workers" only a month ago and it turns out these people are now some of the most important people in the country.
Maybe I'm naive, but you'd think the government will surely back track on their disgusting "unskilled workers" policies when we're out the other side of this.
Because Labour have pushed and implemented right Wing policy since the days of Blair, The damage was done, Working class areas have been let down for decades by the Labour party, industry and real jobs gone and not replaced, zero opportunity for people, shitty jobs in the gig economy and third generation out of work and naturalized towards a life on benefits, social poverty is the biggest problem, a huge swathe of people from proud communities demotivated, depressed and without much hope. Then the Brexit thing came along where the only people left to hold account for these peoples plight was foreign labour-Because the politicians and law makers sat back and did nothing.
When people are desperate they do stupid things, when there's nobody else left to argue with or communicate with then bad decisions are made. That's what has happened in alot of our neglected communities, there was nothing left the kick apart from the neighbours dog. Labour have been instrumental in the destruction of these areas as well. I reckon that Corbyn would've backed these people and understood their problems. Sadly, because of a right wing media, celebrity politics and still an element of post colonial fallout it seems that people in this country can't get over the idea that we have to look after our most vulnerable and improve from the bottom up.
The media and the right wing have always done this, the military being a great example. Most of the lads that join up are from poor or working class backgrounds with little opportunity, they're economic conscripts. Some of them would be considered scum by the Daily Mail if they were on Civvy st, yet become heros of the state when they're forced into taking a bullet for £250 per week. Sad thing is that plenty of people lap this up.
If only the government had listened to message board posters with years of expertise from tugging one out to Duffy off Casualty rather than their medical experts.
This thread is reading like an article from ‘Socialist Worker’. Anyone who is not a communist is being pounced upon by the ‘comrades’. Luckily we will never have to find out what sort of mess Jeremy Corbyn and his cronies would have made of it all.
I think there's a good chance labour could have messed it up.
I don't see how that is an argument against the fact that the current government have ****ed up their reaction to the virus, ****ed up the NHS by purposely under funding it for a decade or that the only sensible decisions that have been made are socialist in nature.
I don't think this is a time for party politics, we can do all that when we have got through this and we are doing the mopping up.
But I'll guarantee you that regardless of what they may be saying or might say publicly, there are several high profile politicians that are thanking their God that they didn't win an election.
Crobyn May Blair Brown Hammond must all secretly be so relieved not to be in Boris's postiton.
He, and his advisors and government are having to deal with a situation every day that is unlike anything ever seen in this country and with no historical refgerences to look back on for guidance.
By its nature it is being played "On the hoof" and decisions have to be made that no PM, no government, any time in the history of this country have ever had to contemplate let alone action.
It is much easier to stand on the side lines and barrack than to actually be ther having to make the decisions.
I defy any of the so called pasrty leaders to say they want to be PM today. At least they wouldn't say it if there was the slightest chance it might happen.
As for Scotland, where would it be now if it had got the independance some of its more vocal politicians demand every day. Their health service is in a worse state than in Wales and that is not good.
What about the countries that were all infected before us? Why didn't we just look at and learn from them?By its nature it is being played "On the hoof" and decisions have to be made that no PM, no government, any time in the history of this country have ever had to contemplate let alone action.
Just because it is a time of crisis does not mean people are above criticism, the government have handled it and still are handling it slowly and incompetently.
I don't really know what the point of your post is tbh, maybe you can simplify it for me?
Ferguson originally predicted 250k deaths.
Ferguson stated government had got their timing on restrictions right.
Ferguson has revised figures do to potentially less than 20k, mostly those who would be expected to die anyway.

EDIT: Ferguson amazingly partly attributes the lockdown to the change - incredible that the lockdown has had such an effect in 2 days when lockdowns usually take 2 weeks to affect things. His main point appears to be that far more people have it than was predicted - which shows the virus is far less dangerous than expected.
I guess you know better than him, CMO et al though.
