Do you and your gang realise how boring the constant ‘it’s a disgrace’ comments are? Don’t you realise that people hate got it that you have the government and are angry about every decision irrespective or right or wrong. It’s not debate, it’s tedious predictability.

What he said to the opposition MP was shite mate, you know and I know it, I doubt he would have said it to a man, have you ever told a woman in the work place 'watch her tone'?

It wasn't just the tone comment. It was also the fact he denied an absolute truth from a doctor on the front line. You could see the anger on his face too. He lied and lied again in full view of the cameras. Its shocking to think he is the leader of the NHS staff.

And now the science is fighting back because some of the decisions taken were against scientific advice and they want the full minutes of the meetings published.

Their hiding places are being exposed.

It’s not debate because nobody is making an attempt to defend the government just to shut down and belittle those who are justifiably angry.

Time and again debate has been invited nothing has come in return. You are free to defend Hancocks remark or Johnson’s performance today.

Numerous times I have said the fuloughing was right and good. And that the chancellor has been really good.

But alas you completely ignore that.

If the UK had South Korea's 'deaths per million people' rate, then we'd have 29,000 fewer Coronavirus deaths

With Germany's rate, we'd have 23,000+ fewer deaths

A few countries have done even worse than the us , but there's no doubt the tory governments failures have led to far too many deaths

It’s too early to get the full picture I agree but it’s not impossible to judge.

The bare facts are we have the second most deaths in the World and the most in Europe.

We had more warning than the other two badly effected countries in Europe, a couple of weeks.

Comparing our the speed of our lockdown and how stringent it was compared to almost all of the rest of the World shows most of the rest were stricter and more decisive.

It’s not impossible to make judgments based on those things it is quite fair.

Per capita we are fourth worst in the entire World, and that data is based on the UK having 29,000 deaths we know that figure is significantly higher. The two above are Italy and Spain who are ahead of us in terms of what stage they are at, we’ll pass Italy in this table within days I’d Imagine.

Spain have fewer people and their country is twice the size, we are closer to each other and a higher % of fuckwits to ignore what is good for them, can`t blame the government for that.

It is argued time and time again that there are discrepancies in the way individual countries count and present their stats. It is also argued that it is too early to present the data and evidence gathered from across the World in order that lessons can be learned and acted upon.
I would expect that the WHO have independently started to collect this data and will continue to collect it until they are satisfied that they are in the best possible position to inform the World how and why this disease started and track its spread around the World, pointing out where good, not so good and bad decisions have been made and what could have been done better, with the sole purpose of putting the Whole World on the front foot should we be faced with anything similar again.

MrI, I voted Tory for most of my life, in fact right up until the last elections. I often found myself having to argue my way out of corners and defend the difficult.

In your case, and this time, you are failing to defend what is, in fact, indefensible

There is no way around it, and you've yet to make a case.

This Government has cocked up practically everything since this crisis began. Yes its unprecedented, yes it's huge and at times unknown. However, Boris has blustered nonsense, Hancock has lied and continuing to lie. Raab looks like he's just woken up in a bed he doesn't remember getting into and the Gov in its entirety has failed the country.

Of course we don't know how the others would have done, but that's not the point.

I think as a country we'd be a lot more forgiving if they admitted mistakes were made, they've currently still got the post-Brexit love-in keeping them holding on....just and that is letting them get away with a lot more than it should.

A lot of sweeping statements there Mr Breslaw and you have quite categorically stated that the government have cocked up practically everything since this crisis began'
Can you list everything that the government have done or have been involved in since this crisis started, pointing out where they have followed advice, where they have not followed advice, the source of your information, what they have failed to do in each category, what they have done successfully or satisfactorily in your opinion and what advice you can offer to improve their performance. Can you please try and present the vast amount of evidence required to explain the validity of your views without prejudice, the benefit of hindsight or selective implications.
Thank you in advance.

Strange though eh that until we overtook spain and Italy at every briefing they showed graphs comparing the uk to them. Niw the graphs dont show what they want us to see they aren't good for comparisons.

And now the bloke johnso was quoting at mp's questions has now suggested the pm stops miss quoting him.

'Polite request to PM'
In today's UK Prime Minister's Questions, Boris Johnson said the number of coronavirus deaths in the UK should not be compared with those in other European countries - and quoted a newspaper article from Professor David Spiegelhalter as part of his argument.

However, Spiegelhalter has since gone on to Twitter to say: "Polite request to PM and others: please stop using my Guardian article to claim we cannot make any international comparisons yet.

"I refer only to detailed league tables - of course we should now use other countries to try and learn why our numbers are high."
