    I must say, whatever you think of him, it would be easy with an electronic system like they’re having to use to shield himself from those sort of questions.

    Say what you like, but he’s not shying away from it.

    Doubt it tbh , if he didn’t answer they’d show themselves asking the question on news and him dodging it so he’s no choice .
    But he was late with all hindsight he had .

    Sack of custard with a Trump wig. All we've had since this outbreak is Tesco value leadership from this poundland PM. Mind you, this "tesco value" leadership from Johnson is a vast improvement from his previous time in charge

    Thankfully we have some excellent (infectious diseases) scientists and modelling experts in this country and their advice appears to be largely adhered to by the government, unlike Trump. It's still unlikely we'll escape lightly, but we have a decent chance of getting the right policies out, as long as we adhere to them.

    Not having a dig at anyone, just to say hindsight is a wonderful thing ..tbf only last week 50% of those on this board thought schools should remain open as normal.

    Not trying to be political....but i do believe this highlights how important and wonderful the NHS is....and needs backing, properly.
    It just goes to show how flimsy our finance sector can be without this fabulous service.

    I have touched on this in lots of other threads but acknowledge that you may not have seen them .
    But he had hindsight , China , Italy were his hindsight . Also these countries were telling him through amongst others our media etc to lock down and take this virus seriously .
    Our MPs from all persuasions inc Tory Jeremy Hunt being one were asking fir lock down well before he committed to it .
    He’s had a grilling from media on today’s daily bulletin I urge you to watch it .
    So to answer your question yes hindsight is a wonderful thing and he had it .

    It’s easy to say that Marlon, but not convinced it’s as easy as that, as an example he still hasn’t got the bill through parliament to force people to stay at home etc, it’s one of the downsides of our Parliamentary law making systems.

    I’m not disagreeing with the point of locking down sooner just saying it’s not as easy that.

    The COVID bill got royal assent today.

    Went through parliament on Monday, Lords yesterday and today.

    Unless that's not the bill you're referring to. That's the one that gives the police the power, though.

    Went through on the nod with a cross party amendment requiring parliamentary review every 6 months

    It appears certain people believe that this government just sit together and decide upon strategy despite the fact they have little or no expertise in the above mentioned.
    In reality they are being led by many many people who are experts in their particular field. These experts are from without not within. Many of these experts will be socialist's or liberal's or whatever the fancy takes them.

    It was obvious we were just 2 weeks behind Italy. It was obvious that our NHS would reach a cracking point quickly. It was obvious that the availability of ventilators would be a critical factor in saving lives, yet it seems we took no steps to secure the manufacturing of more ventilators until last week.

    Will the simpleton count the EXCEL centre in London as the first of his 40 hospitals?

    id question why Doris Johnson said “the science changed” then, it didn’t, science doesn’t change in a day.

    his own teams view changed, but he was hiding behind scientific advise.

    It appears the science has changed many times over the last couple of months and it will change some more over the next.

    In fairness talks started nearly two weeks ago(but that’s splitting hairs), what I would say though is why did it take until Monday afternoon for the Government to contact all importers of disposable gloves to order them to supply all to the NHS.
    All orders they were due to ship to customers was cancelled and rerouted.
    What compounds this is the majority of gloves are made either in Indonesia or Malaysia and Malaysia have a Restriction Movement Order where people and goods are not allowed to be moved and the factories have been ordered to reduce to 50% capacity.
