Why have Japan, South Korea, Taiwan all done better than us despite being closer to the epicentre? Why does even the US have lower deaths per capita than us?

Which part of that 100,000 being the fault of the government do you disagree with?
for some reason you are quick to criticise the government for ignoring the scientists, but then choose to ignore the scientists for expediency when it suits.

The current thinking, back by genetic tracing, is that around 1300 different sources of Covid came into the UK, with quite a considerably number coming in via Heathrow without the carrier ever setting foot on UK soil. Heathrow is a significant travel hub with many of its passengers never actually venturing beyond UK border control. Closing the borders would have had little or no effect.

You conveniently ignore the density of the UK, with its major cities and the majority of its population being within 2-3 hours of each other. This has had a significant impact on the spread of the disease.

History and hindsight will show that many mistakes have been made and things could have been done better, not just by Boris and UKG, but by Drakeford and WG which is something you always ignore. A case in point is the current vaccine roll out in Wales, which is shambolic - people having their 2nd shot being cancelled is just not acceptable. Unsurprisingly you rather quiet on this particular issue.

The 4 home nations have got it wrong and the lack of joined up thinking and confusing rules that differed between the 4 nations, sometimes changing by the hour certainly didn't help. What also did not help was a large part of the UK population ignoring the advice and socialising as if nothing was happening.

There's little point in you responding, but if you do, as is your right, then in the interest of brevity why not just respond with "Labour Good, Tory Bad" which sums up just about every post you make on the subject.
