O/T:- Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

Predictably and sadly the criticism of the government has gone down the usual lines on here. The broad left think he's a slow acting idiot, a non partisan quiet majority are hoping he's doing a good job but will have reservations and some on the right will cheer him on regardless.
Personally I'm very glad that we don't have the 2019 parliament in charge and I've no faith at all in Labour doing a better job at the moment.
I'm delighted I'm not in charge,( yes, I know, everyone is ) but what a massive responsibility to have thrust on your shoulders, can't think of a worse job in the country right now.
It's easy to do a Piers Morgan and scream for more to be done now but we've had to step change the economy, coral a country not used to having freedoms curtailed and do it whilst ensuring there isn't anarchy and social breakdown from a mass panic. He's managed that in a fortnight and offered a colossal amount of financial help to get us through it all without imposing martial law or welding people into flats.
Already we've gone from 5000 to 12,000 ventilators available with more to come, early testing of a possible vaccine and managed to get a large number of retired NHS staff to volunteer.
As a nation we've done pretty well so far, not perfect, too much hoarding, some not being very sensible and some truly wicked people out there scamming the vulnerable but pretty well overall I think.

I am missing the football though, really missing it. So lucky we didn't do a Bury, their whole season has been like our last fortnight.

You have hit the nail on the head, the brexit debate all over again with the usual suspects lining up on either side.

Yep just like the Brexit debate. Some people cite and have the evidence on their side, the others er....don’t.

We bow to your superiority. and ego.

Yep just like the Brexit debate. Some people talk ****e and pretend they have the evidence on their side, the others are Tories.

So when people say things that upset you or you don’t agree with, you do one or more of the following;

1) Ban them if you happen to be the moderator.
2) Pathetically ask them to talk about something else
3) Moan and cry like a big fanny that they and their ‘friends’ are ‘taking over’ the board, and go and hide.
4) Change what they’ve written when replying to them. Like some sort of retarded 5 year old.

Anything, anything except accept that they’re right and you’re talking absolute shyte.

1) Ban idiots, like Fatboy and Sid when you happen to be the moderator.....yes
2) Politely ask them to talk about something else ....yes
3) Notice that aforementioned idiots and their ‘friends’ are ‘taking over’ the board, and ban them......yes
4) Change what they’ve written when replying to them.....no, never done that.

The world would be a much better place if all of the above came to fruition.

Have you ever noticed how negative left-whingers normally are?

Does it come with their territory?

1) Ban idiots, like Fatboy and Sid when you happen to be the moderator.....yes

And that was your big, big mistake and the reason you got the boot. When you start banning people based on your personal dislikes and your personal politics, it becomes your board rather than NCM. Believe it or not, the majority don't want a right wing board.
