I take no pleasure in COVID-19, nor am I using it to score political points.
However, as you are an Australian these days, I'm afraid you're the one out of touch with reality. All you have to judge the position in the UK is a few sound bites and news articles.
For me to point out that the Tories have had to lay out more money in the public sector than Labour had budgeted for in the December election is a fact of life. As Elite says, with better judgement in favour of public spending much earlier in the crisis, lives and money would have been saved.
In short, Boris was guilty on a smaller scale of what Trump is hugely guilty of now. Trump's ridiculous posture whereby he rates his hunches as a better guide than the judgements of scientists will hopefully now expose him for the fool he is.
If COVID-19 leads to Trump's defeat then I would say that is one of its few good effects. At least it might give the fight against climate change a chance.
The main lesson from this virus is that we are all dependent on one another and must support each other. That is a basic tenet of socialism so i'm sorry if my saying that this ill wind has blown a tiny bit of good upsets you, Queenie, but that's my opinion. I hope things turn round for you and soon.
El Moron.
