It's because I despise knee-jerk politics, and this pandemic is rife with it.
You say that but your go-to response in all this is "Labour would be worse."
Does not compute.
It's also not necessarily pollitical to criticse the gov't. I can criticise the bus driver who doesn't stop when I ring the bell without it being a larger statement about his politics. I don't even care that their leanings are one way or the other right now. I really wish they had done a much better job. But I care that they fucked up and they're still fucking up.

Uh huh.
If only Johnson and some of his cronies had that attitude.

In a pandemic you don't HAVE to kill people, in fact you should be trying your best not to.

This is the exact opposite of what Johnson was. If anything he was more like Chamberlain when all the warnings were coming in, pretending nothing was wrong, than Churchill.

The excess mortality rates say we're the ones undercounting by about 20k. When it all washes out we'll have the most deaths in Europe, 2nd or 4th worldwide in deaths per capita depending on who counts as a country.
I mean you keep defending the gov't like there's something there to defend, like it's possible more could have died under some fantasy scenario where someone else was in charge, so therefore they weren't in the top one percentile of incompetence.
Or, like we shouldn't crticise them. Sorry but that's the kind of thinking that gives the retard kid a medal just for showing up at the track meet in kiddie school. The gov't has to do better than that, and if they don't, they have to put on their big boy pants and face the criticism.
