That graph is bollocks. 1.5m cases when we went into lockdown? We're two months into lockdown and there are just over 250k cases. You're drawing conclusions based on a highly speculative number. I mean I'm sure some effort went into these estimates, but they're basically about as provable as God. You're taking those numbers as an act of faith.

Whatever mistakes we've made, we're not alone. I could kind of understand the outrage if we were the only nation in Europe struggling to contain this, but that isn't the case. Nations like Austria and Greece are incomparable to the UK, they are much smaller, both being roughly the same population as London. The only reasonable comparisons in Europe are France, Germany, Spain and Italy, and with the exception of Germany, we're in the same boat. You make it sound like we're the only country in Europe struggling. That is patently not true.

Cheltenham is an interesting issue. Who made the decision for that to go ahead? Did Boris himself think "fuck it, let's do it" or were his hands tied by forces out of his control? If he personally orders it to not go ahead, do you people start calling him a dictator? Cheltenham was a mistake. Whose mistake was it? When we find out who was making these decisions based on what information, that's when we start assigning blame and demanding accountability.

The problem there is corruption, and that is deeply ingrained into our economic and political system. The gambling sector have very powerful lobbyists, and I'm not sure if the PM is capable of taking these lobbyists on. If that's the case, blaming Boris is just too easy, because it's the system that's rotten, and it has been for a very long time, through both Tory and Labour governments, with a splash of Lib Dem coalition thrown in.

I think what you call incompetence, I call corruption. The government are just pawns, they're replaced regularly yet the system never changes. Boris is just the next mouthpiece for the system. I happen to like him more than previous mouthpieces, because he's kinda funny. He has bags more character than all his predecessors in my lifetime. He's not the system, he's just the guy we voted to make us believe we're a democracy.

So if you must start blaming people, try going for those who will still have power in a decade or two, rather than the faces that come and go.
