Well, there we must differ.

I would contend that whoever was leader would have received the same advice from the same experts who are effectively the invisible people who are running the anti Corona "battle campaign". Its not the titular head that makes decisions, he just announces them.

As you like world war 2 analogies you might just as well hold Churchill personally responsible for Dunkirk or Arnhem, when in reality it was behind the scenes armed forces personnel that planned that campaign

I get that BJ is not a "man for the people" and commands little respect from many of the electorate, but what is to be gained by criticising the mouth, when its the brain that may have made the mistakes. We all know BJ in not the brain, but the mouth. I would contend that criticism should be laid at the feet of the civil service: but equally commendation should belong there too, not with BJ, if the virus is defeated - I'd like to think he would attribute the praise to the backroom, rather than take it for himself, but I suspect we all accept that he won't!.
