If you hadn't been regularly been rinsed by laddo, I might be able to take you seriously.
You know when this little lot is over, won't Britain be an excellent position for world domination? Our main source of wealth is in finance, insurance, banking, etc, and it's made us a very rich country indeed. We haven't been a major producer and exporter of material goods for many years, unlike most European countries, the USA, China. These countries have lost their production and will not recover lost staff, material supplies and transport systems for years, they will need financial help, step forward - Great Britain! Ta daaa!
All together now,
"Land of hope and glory, mother of the free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider, shall thou bounds be set
God who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet."

Shows how easily the gullible were swayed by a few press conferences and sound bites. A lot of Europe has responded badly (France included) but your boy seems to have had a particularly bad game. And Brexit preparations impacted the response too. Good job the Tories have realised how a bit of socialism can help. Roll on the wealth tax.
A lot on there that doesn't surprise me. For example we already knew that it's hard to get Boris to come to work when he's on holiday (same as when the riots were happening in 2011), and that Cummings would be in favour of a high-risk / high-reward strategy like herd immunity.
Boris will be fine though, he's got charisma and more importantly still got the tabloids / Mail and Express on side.
Any PM who can cheerfully announce that he's been walking round a hospital with Coronavirus patients shaking hands with everyone, then take up a hospital bed and leave a power vacuum during a crisis, leave his pregnant partner, his top advisor and half the cabinet either I'll or in self-isolation, and come out to be acclaimed a national hero obviously has a hell of a lot of credit with certain editors.
Williamson doing the press conference today, another person sacked by the previous PM, this time for leaking classified information. And we’re supposed to take him seriously.
I feel so sorry for everyone directly affected by this shambles, I’m really really trying to not get too wound up, anyone with at least half a brain knew this would be a total clown show. And everyone knows that once it’s all over, there’ll be an inquiry, lessons will be ‘learned’ and we'll move on to the next fiasco.
Keep calm.
Yes I am impressed with the new owners!
