I am sure that they are all doing their best and I wonder who you think would have done the job any better? I suspect that you are a Corbyn sycophant, I am so pleased that we don’t have him trying to run the country. Don’t criticise people in these circumstances who have such an unenviable job and clearly doing the best that they can; I am confident in saying that you couldn’t do any better. By the way, I didn’t vote for this government either. It seems, 123, that you are a bigoted individual and your best course of action at this time would be, to be polite, to ‘button it’.
Interesting turn of events,

I'm not new to criticising the Tories. I've constantly said on here for a long time before this crisis that they have chronically underfunded public services. We all have our viewpoints, you think I should 'button it' because we have a difference of opinion. Could that be deemed as 'bigoted'? Your suspicions are incorrect, I didn't vote for Labour or the Tories, so I suspect that in all likelihood we probably voted for the same party at the last election.

The difference between us is that you think that the Government is not open to scrutiny or criticism because of this pandemic. You also think as long as they are doing 'the best they can' then that is enough. In my view, it is not enough, we should have competent people in Government, with exception to Sunak I don't think that has been the case.

Can you imagine the uproar if Diane Abbott had got the numbers wrong in the same way as what Priti Patel did at the weekend...And that is what frustrates me, the rank hypocrisy that exists.
