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

As for our gov handling, Mr Hindsight, time will tell when the full picture is eventually known.

I suppose that's as close to an admission that they've handled it badly as I'm likely to get.

... don't change the subject. I was merely offering news regarding our friends vaunted handling of CV19 in their country. As for our gov handling, Mr Hindsight, time will tell when the full picture is eventually known.
One mistake, I believe, is that instead of *****-footing about being nice to everyone, the UK should have been told that we are at war with an unseen enemy and taken all measures to prevent it. Instead of HM Forces being at the front line, this time it is the NHS and all support services. In that circumstance you also call up anyone else that can contribute, whether it's Jo Public delivering goods from A to B, or whatever. You also allow decisions to be taken to override some of the democratic niceties, as highlighted, for example, in the NHS requirement that all must pass the woke tests - the absurd PC brigade have some uses, but please ...

Genuine question, what are the 'woke tests'?

Sounds a bit like Marxism. Never had you down as one of them Hoss.

I didn't know she had a v1per? How interesting.

Yes, she’s had it since she was a ****ager.

Followers of US politics will note that even they have had the good sense to kick all their useless right wing nutters out.

Pity we’ve got another 4 ish years to wait.

Then we will probably have to wait another 4 years to kick out the left wing nutters

Yes I noticed that and I have to say I'm happy about it. Trump's antics over the last couple of weeks have been off the scale, even by his low standards.

Yeah, he and his enablers have lost the plot. If they ever had it.

Big responsibility on Biden to now push through some properly progressive policies while he and the Dems hold all the levers of power.
