    It’s been a month. 1 month since we left an extremely complicated web 40 plus years in the making. Patience. As to attacking Boris for a “poor” response, this is just following the media who can’t ever commend the efforts of the Government but can only attack like a rabid dog. Laura flippin’ keunsburg asking Matt Hancock for a date for lessoning the restrictions. Why? So that when it doesn’t happen exactly at that date she can say “what went wrong you promised” “Do you regret giving a date?” Can’t stand them, bunch of wind up merchants. The Government is doing its best, following advice, doing what’s needed and trying to balance the disease and also the economy. We have it bad over here right now, why do we always look for someone to blame all the time? Things happen in life sometimes despite your best efforts. Nobody will understand exactly how this disease works for years. Like the scientists said “we are all dealing with this on the fly”

    Laura Keunsberg (however she’s spelt) really is a pain in the neck; I think she only got the job because the woke BBC wanted a woman in the role. I don’t have an issue with there being a woman in that role per se, but I think that I’m right in remembering that Robert Peston was with the BBC and was in pole position for that news role; after Laura K was handed it, Peston moved to ITV. Robert Peston is a far better political editor than Laura K.

    Had to laugh at the ‘The Government is doing its best, following advice’

    You seriously are joking right? Priti the other day said we should have locked down 3 weeks before we should have last March. Boris missed how many Cobra meetings?

    You may think I am following the headlines, i’m not. Covid is hampering the lives of many, 10 odd months into this and we have not got a handle on it.

    When Mat Hancock said the other day that there are currently 73 known cases with the new variant and that they are being ‘closely observed’. What does this exactly mean? Just 73 people self isolating or 73 locked in a gov quarantined unit?

    I think we both will know what these 73 people are doing, will we?

    I doubt that you are actually in business yourself Boingy, so for a laymen to come on here to tell us it will be okay, is a bit rich. Unless you know what goes on, you should probably refrain from making these positive statements. Just read above how 2 posters plus me on here are talking about how much of an impact this is having.

    I by now means here to pick you out on this Boingy on these matters, but you really need to understand the scale of problems every day people are having.

    "10 odd months into this and we have not got a handle on it". Who has? Tell me.
    "I doubt that you are actually in business yourself Boingy", How do you think that? because I don't agree with you?
    Do you make positive statements? Is that ok? But I shouldn't?
    Who's denying there's an impact? I expected one. You cant leave something after 40 years and expect a smooth transition.
    "you really need to understand the scale of problems every day people are having" Is very condescending.

    Good post Regis and you are right! Wait a month - be patient - ha ha! When our VAT is due and we are being crippled as a business should HMRC be told - wait a month - be patient? Company Directors have been given zero in terms of help or furlough money but hey - living on fresh air perhaps is not the fault of Boris! This is why so many greedy c unts have received government help in terms of furlough money and they don't need it due to their wealth and many that do need it have been offered sweet FA!

    In terms of the vaccine - take the pressure and cost off the NHS and sell it privately - many would pay £200 for it which would keep more money in the NHS coffers! For those in a certain wealth bracket - some would say they should pay for it anyway rather than getting it for free!

    What has Boris done for students - f uck all! It's not about opinions on university. It's about young kids who have tried to better themselves and try to have an advantage of following their career path. No refunds on university fees which are on-line and NO refunds on halls accommodation or land lord accommodation which they are not living in!
    Disgraceful!!! No wonder a lot of these kids are heavily in debt, have mental health issues or there's an increase on suicides.
