There’s also this petition.
Whether you like or dislike Boris and his team of politicians, scientists and advisors, whether you agree with them or not, they've done everything they reasonably can in this situation.
"Why didn't you stockpile PPE" this year will be "Why did you spend millions on warehouses full of unused equipment instead of paying front line workers more" next year. And so on.
Every action is a trade off, every decision is a risk, and I doubt there is a person here who would gladly take Boris's place.
It's called "unprecedented" for a reason. The benefit of hindsight makes it very easy to criticize.
(FYI I dislike politicians and politics, and I find BBC News and the media in general unnecessarily confrontational and incendiary, so I have no particular support for anyone in general).
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
A better comparison would be to Belgium, Holland and parts of Italy who have similar density to our own.
I have no time for Bojo and believe we has been poor in terms of initial testing, track and trace and been unclear in giving out mixed messages.
Cummings is an idiot, however so is the standing Labour MP who attended a funeral midweek. What I do find more irritating is the complete, media induced paranoia of the whole subject. The UK media is fickle and will say or do anything to gain readership or viwership
As for Dominic Cummings, who cares. Seriously. Taken at face value, he was worried about care for his kids. Arguing over him and his actions with hindsight doesn't change anything or improve the situation.
It is blatantly clear it's being used as political point scoring and leverage.
Forget about it. Review it after the important things are under control. Until then, it really doesn't make any difference.
As I said, sensationalist and boring, and totally irrelevant to the actual lives of people in this country (what effect did his journey directly have on you apart from stoking the fires of faux outrage).
