    Its the same with all governments Bob. only those who are myopic pretend otherwise.

    it really is a shambles of a farce and the lions share of blame goes to the idiots who feel the need to panic buy. the levels of ****wittery are off the scale.

    Disagree, this Government is always caught in the hop, I can remember other Tory Adminstrations that were nowhere near as bad as this one.

    They did the right thing on vaccines, which was the biggest call any government has made in the last couple of years.

    Why do people have to be so black and white? Some mistakes get made, others don't.

    More often that not, governments are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

    I largely blame the media on this - I can think of no greater example of taking a molehill and manufacturing a mountain.

    You Tories can be very thin skinned at times. Truth is, I don't blame the Government entirely for the current situation by any means, but I think they are one of a few contributory factors that have combined to produce something that has been more of a problem than it should have been. This Government are continually caught on the hop (Covid, Afghanistan, school meals, exam results, aspects of Brexit, the list goes on and on) and I made a point of saying that I don't think it was the same with other Conservative administrations.

    No I would say the same when people think Mark Drakeford's Welsh Labour are always making errors too. I don't think it's the case, I think the reality is always shades of grey.

    Covid has of course caught everyone on the hoop, I just think it's helpful to look at a balance of things. Furlough, the vaccines, raising U/C etc all pretty good. The initial slow lockdown, stopping HGV tests, care homes etc all pretty bad.

    I just don't like the partisan nature of it all.

    I don't blame the government on this, I really do blame a sensationalist media.

    yes this current lot are constantly being surprised by how difficult running the country actually is.
    I'm sure this is due to the culture that pervades down from the guy in #10 who gives off the aura that he thinks he can do anything and it'll be easy just because he went to Eton and Oxford, but pays literally no attention to the details resulting in calamity after calamity.
    Brexit negations , they'll be easy
    managing a pandemic, well just wash our hands a bit more

    this was neatly summed up for me when the other day, despite presumably being aware he doesn't speak much French, he decides to wing it on a TV interview and comes up with some garbled nonsense "prenez un grip and donnez moi un break".
    this is the arrogance of someone who has never had to bother with trying at anything his whole life because every door has been held open for him.
    I can't believe he's actually running the country.
