We can get an idea of how a Labour gov would have handled it by looking at their counterparts in the states.

Add to the fact Abbott could not even manage to put on a matching pair of shoes when going out in public gives me enough of an indication of what her input would have been.

Look. Labour/Corbyn didn't win. We have no way of knowing how they would have handled this (unprecedented) situation.

Read a few pages of this .....

 

Seems to me there might be a correlation between the attributes of the free minded UK population and how well the UK is doing in this pandemic.

 

Absolutely no point blaming anyone in authority (government or medical establishment) for not steering the ship in the right direction because 'we' pay no attention to it anyway. I'm not referring to individuals on here necessarily - but you can see it everywhere in society from the groups of teenagers 'behind the bike sheds' to the parents at the school leavers parties, the callers on the Jeremy Vine BBC radio 2, the beach invaders etc, etc,

 

On this particular challenge it seems our society is not best placed to achieve a great result. Individuals dont have a unified goal or the will power to weather the isolation (or what ever the requiement is) and crucially we dont have the dractonian penalties of the communist counties where the control of people becomes easier.

 

We're just set up different, good for some things not so good for this.

Nope not what I meant .... although obesity seems another thing were not good at (or good at depending on your persective).

 

In a nut shell, I meant we (in the uk) dont like to be told what to do, we dont like following rules or guidance (compared to other nations).
