At the start of this the Government went along with the idea of "herd immunity" - a strategy that would have protected the economy and was continuously denounced by most experts as one which would cost hundreds of thousands of lives. As part of this strategy, on the weekend Italy locked down, Cheltenham Festival was allowed to go ahead with a quarter of a million people attending.

On reflection do you think that was a good decision, and if not don't you think we're allowed to criticize the Government for decisions like that? It's not as if the warnings weren't there from other countries, we could see what was happening. Most sports shut themselves down without guidance from the Government because they could see what was happening. These people are elected to lead and protect, if people are dying that could have been saved then we're allowed to question without being shouted at for daring to criticize our dear leaders.

Let me ask you this - If a Corbyn Government had dealt with this crisis in exactly the same way as this one and made exactly the same decisions at the same times, do you think the people behaving like Johnson is some sort of wartime hero and the Government are doing a great job would be saying the same thing?
