Personally, I don't want his letter, about as much as I wanted Camerons propaganda.

I could detract onto the BBC, who in the current climate want the tv license added to your household bills, but that's another story.

I have a question on the testing situation.
I was under the illusion, that only vulnerable people and the otherwise ill, were being tested at the moment?
How come all these "celebrities" and "important" people can say they have tested positive?
Today bloody "Dynamo" has told us to be brave as he comes out as positive?

However, I will say RA that surely you wasn't so naive as to believe that things wouldn't go tits up in some form or another?
A country can get invaded, drop one clanger after another, before it gets it's act together and wins the war.
Bit of history there for you,
Not sure which ‘bit of history’ you’re referring to Tricky...to the best of my knowledge - skirmishes apart - we haven’t been successfully invaded since 1066. Not sure what relevance that has anyway.

My one and only point is that - Party Politics aside - we should all be standing together and, to an extent, the Government’s economic response may be worthy of applause, but in terms of the practical response to the current pandemic we are being found as wanting each day.

It is the job of Government and the role of the PM to lead us through this crisis and protect the people by taking the appropriate steps. From what I hear - no more than anyone else - despite having been granted the advantage of time they are failing in virtually every way, from the production of ventilators to the provision of testing and appropriate protective equipment.

Assuming we make it through this crisis I feel it will be despite the actions of this Government rather than because of them, and I hope people remember that!
