Barristers Strike

And yes, there could have been wastage under a Labour government - but we would not have had this level of corruption. And its hard to see how Labour could have been any more incompetent than the Tories during the pandemic.

It really is a poor answer when a governing party splurge billions away, just to say "well, the opposition would have done the same, or this or that". People who do this are just justifying to themselves of how they voted in the past. Brexiteers are doing the very same thing right now.

It’s hard to evaluate performance during a one off pandemic. No where near perfect, but they were spending at incredible pace. The point is, anyone working at that kind of pace would cut corners and take risk, of which some would lead to criticism….some would work though.

There were newspaper articles and social media driven narrative about ‘jobs for mates’ but no inquiry. I could be wrong but I don’t recall labour calling for one around this.

You only have two choices in the UK, Labour and Conservative. To expect humans to deliver perfection is unrealistic, which is why I think we’d be criticising whatever government has been in power since 2008.

Going back to the main point, austerity has crippled our public services but was there an alternative?
