I did that at work, and I never got to be PM.
It was amazing how many things sorted themselves out, on their own, after a few days.

Of course, all these are not unique to our government alone, but I have to agree in principal with the resolution, or not, of the problems.okocha wrote:Just to cheer everyone up, here's a superb summary of all that is wrong in the uk right now, by the i's Ian Birrell:
This pandemic has exposed defects in our nation with hideous efficiency. It has shown the lack of concern for social care, the fragility of the high street, the flaws in globalisation, the inequalities in society. Who runs our country?
You might think the answer is simple: the Government, as represented by politicians at Westminster. Yet this seems not to be the case. For every time there is a huge problem – the delayed lockdown, the tsunami of deaths in care homes, the blunders over the supply of protective equipment, the testing fiascos, the school closure cock-ups, the exam debacle – it appears to be someone else’s fault. Ministers never apologise, let alone take responsibility and resign. Instead they drip venom into the media against officials, hide behind advisers, point fingers at agencies, blame systemic flaws and shuffle around some Whitehall furniture.

Having said that, we do seem to be doing reasonably well in comparison to others, so something must be working, (although don't ask me what)

Saw a chart the other day which plotted covid deaths per 100k against forecast impact on the economies of the world's 20 wealthiest countries - including Brazil and the USA.
We are by far and away the worst performers so I would say we are doing piss poor against comparable countries.
Of course the data isn't perfect and of course third world countries will suffer the most, but I genuinely can't find anything at all that suggests "we are doing reasonably well in comparison to others". Nothing.
Ummm, I was thinking of the last two days, obviouslyokocha wrote:
