There is absolutely no way I would have worked for Corbyn and Abbott.
I get that you don't much care for Boris (or Priti or a few others judging by your posts) and you are, like everybody else, quite entitled to your own opinions.
But AFAIC if this is what you call a "
disaster" I would dearly love to see what success looks like?
Your hatred and negativity is, to me, baffling.
The Boris-led vaccination programme is leading to a remarkably low number of deaths given the number of infections (and we test far, far more people than any other major economy); those that are hospitalised are seeing much shorter average stays in hospital thanks again in large part to the vaccination programme; the economy looks as if it is doing well and there are more job vacancies than workers which is leading to rising wages; inward investment continues apace which will lead to further economic improvements and at the same time we are becoming more self-reliant in many areas; ............. I could go on and on but firstly that would be unfair to the thread and secondly if you've ignored all of it already then my pointing it out to you is unlikely to make any difference.
Is our country perfect?
No, obviously not.
But especially considering recent events we are in a very strong position and frankly we have both much to look forward to and much to be greatful for.
Is Boris or our government perfect?
Again, obviously not.
I too am unhappy with certain aspects you know.
But quite honestly, there is at this moment in time not a single potential alternative that would be capable of achieving even what has been done since they were voted into power.
Moaning and derision directed towards our government is not going to change that and given that we are in such a fortunate position, all you're doing is feeding the current trend of division and polarization.
Why not try co-operation and healing instead since that would surely be more beneficial?
