Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Gofer Blue]

to be fair, drakeford has an easy win as he's ever likely to get at the moment.
all he has to do is be 10% better than those currently running England and he comes out with a lot of credit.

and those running England are making a right mess.of things.

Agree 100%. Easy to wait to see what others do first, then do the same if it turns out well, and describe it as "taking the cautious approach".

That's not how he is doing it though.

It is a "save your own skin" strategy, and perfect for political ends, and he has politicised this from day 1.
Never do anything first. Watch what others do and then go along behind them. And if anything goes wrong you can blame central government or the scientific advice or whatever, but never have to take any blame yourself.
It's a kind of pontius Pilate stance, but one thing it certainly isn't, and that is leadership.

Serious question, are you referring to Boris or Drakeford, perhaps both?

Drakeford, the person I replied to was discussing him, that's why. But it may apply to others of course.

Scotland 80 cases today
Wales 20
England 900 plus

Johnson does everything first. And it is working. Just ask the people who are unable to socialise at all this weekend in the North West.

because Drakeford ( or any other politician ) would love to be in a position that is win - win, if it all goes wrong them blame the person who you were following ( in this case boris ) if it goes right then it'll be " we waited and did it in our own time, we did well " , it truly is a ideal situation to be in for him

as i said, win - win

Drakeford isn't following Johnson. He is following the advice of his scientific advisors, something Johnson gave up on ages ago when all the heat was focused on his master, Dominic Cummings.

Did he ever listen to scientific or medical advice?

Anyone who decided to shake hands with Covid19 patients and then funnily enough contracts the disease is let's face it fuucking twp.

Anyone who believes anything the lying cuunt says twper.

I am giving the fat twat (and I make no apologies with tens of thousands dead, and thousands of care home/NHS staff put at risk) the benefit of the doubt. I think he was forced to concede to the science in the same way that Trump was. Anyway, whatever semblance of a structured plan into and out of a lockdown quickly evaporated in the sun of Barnard's Castle.
