Roger,
Uk should of had a lockdown, but instead, allowed many to just act like idiots.
I cant see full lockdowns, but i can see Boris continuing to advice people like an idiot to stay in etc.

I think the first lock down was justified because the NHS was not ready to cope with the first phase of COVID-19.
However, the Nightingale hospitals are now still there and can supply care to meet the demand of a second wave. The authorities now know which members of society are most at risk, the elderly, those with comorbidity, those who are obese and those who suffer from diabetes.
These are the people who should be locked down in any second wave. Sweden which had only a limited lock down has done no worse than the UK, France, Spain and Italy in comparison to deaths. There is no need for a full lock down amongst young healthy people and herd immunity will be reached pretty quickly.

the government report last week saying lockdown has caused 25k deaths already and could get as high as 200k has stopped the insanity..

The number of deaths recorded as Covid yet Covid is not necessarily the cause of death is huge, and tell me Labour would have done what different? It’s easy in hind site to say what we’d do but the economy has to move forward as does life. They’ve made mistakes and have asked for an inquiry into where they learn from it. Wales have also made mistakes as has Scotland but it goes to show contingency planning is great until you need to call on those plans. You will then find holes and you learn.
Didn’t lockdown quick enough and Boris was wrong, cases go up in Europe so he introduced quarantine and he’s wrong! Can’t have it both ways.
There is no vaccine so it’s simple, follow guidance, do your bit to prevent spread and get on with your life. No need to call out government, common sense should dictate. As for beaches, pubs and whatever else you are droning on about, people are people don’t like it, don’t go, simple, but people have staycated and are out to enjoy it. I don’t blame them. The media have been scaremongering from the off, it’s criminal, the recording in Britain is political point scoring. As are most things. The BBC is complicit in it.
If you have underlying health issues then it is your responsibility and you need to take care of you. If you fear it, stay in. Simple really.
Stop the political posts, this is a football forum.

Pretend lockdown? Tell that to my 80 yr old mother,who has been at home since end of February! ! And still has to until mid august.
The vast majority of us did as asked,and stayed at home,unless necessary to go out,and yet turkey has 5000 deaths,with a population of 83m,and never went into lockdown completely, just the under 16 and over 65's were told to stay at home,while the rest of the country carried on working,thus helping the economy there (which is in a bad way again
As for online being king,I agree,we are fast heading towards a cashless society,which is what the big wigs of the world want.
We have to carry on,and learn to live with it(covid)

Pretend lockdown !!!!! Which my mother hasn't come out the other end of so I never got to see her you knobhead.
Why is everyone slagging Boris? Don't see the not so mighty Labour party coming up with any suggestions, watching last week's PMQ and if I was Boris when Starmer the Charmer finishes ,just say " what would you do then " ? And the answer would be keep everybody at home on full pay as the famous money tree will cover it.

It's the role of the leader of the opposition to critique the government in power not to set the policy agenda. Rather than be tribal about it, try and be objective. It's not a question of whether labour would have done any better, the government is in power and it has failed. Our country has the worst death rate in Europe. Tens of thousands of our much vulnerable people have died in care homes because of their failed policy.
As for the money tree thats exactly what we need to do. We have to borrow our way out if this mess and pay higher taxes for generations to come. Red or blue this is the only way forward.
