Why is this bigger and longer term than bailing out the banks - of course there is comparison in terms of bailing out banks vs bailing out vulnerable people and small business. Because you do not agree does not make you right! How are they all doing **** in their own way - just because you say they are doing **** does not mean they are! Examples and evidence please. I do not participate in the winners vs losers discussion - i have provided examples of governments which have handled this better than UK Government with better health and economic outcomes - to counter your view/opinion that no governments across the world have an answer to this. I am not suggesting that it is not hard to balance health and economic outcomes - but priovided evidence of countries that have managed this more successfully than UK Government. I have not suggested that any policical party in this country advocated closing our bordersd - I have suggested that we could have managed our borders and entry/re-entry to the country differently and provided examples of where it had happened differently. Same end result whoever is in charge. No indoor basketball with fans in UK this year. Best to keep politics off here as I said at the start. Best for who. Ok for you to express your views and opinions but not others when they disagree with you. My politics are and expression of my values. I try to live my values. Therefore my politics are not a separate part of my life rather an integral expression of my values and beliefs. |

This is what I said: "None of the Governments across the world have an answer for this" That's not political. Its just a fact. Nobody has the answers for Covid. They are all just trying to get through it and survive the best they can. Getting political is a different thing all together where you go into detail IMO And that's why I deliberately avoided doing it |

I call that hypocritical and disingenuous. Plus decisions on how governments have managed COVID are political decisions so it is impossible to converse about COVID and the impact without political comment! All political decisions have an impact on my life therefore my life is political. |

Only when other started asking me questions about Boris I answer questions when asked I definitely don't want to bring politics into Covid though I feel sorry for all the politicians having to try and deal with it |

Only when other started asking me questions about Boris I answer questions when asked I definitely don't want to bring politics into Covid though I feel sorry for all the politicians having to try and deal with it The thread is literally called Good Old Boris - if you didnt want to engage in politics why on earth did you engage with the thread and the discussion. You literally said none of the governments across the world have an answer for this - that is a political statement And you specifically mentioned Corbyn - political. As i have said all decisions about covid in whatever government are political decisions. All decisions by government are political. Life is political. This government has been unable to set up an effective Test and Trace system and we are six months on from initial lockdown - this contributes to difficulty in managing the spread and therefore ultimately to not being able to have indoor sports currently. The test and trace system was outsourced to Serco run by Dido - paid for with public funds £12billion - when the NHS and Universities have been desperate to be involved. There is one example of a political choice/decision impacting negatively on everyone. Same with sourcing PPE - ££££milions contratcs outsourced to private companies - public funds. This governments decision around COVID have been political - you are naive to think they are not. |

They are elected because of their politics and make decisions based on their political beliefs - that’s how it works. They are not politicising this - they are governing according to their political beliefs. |
