With the vaccine and lockdown ending, do you think you can forgive the mistakes and actions that have occurred over the last year?

I don't think many people believe the government has done anything wrong to start with

Most of the "mistakes" we're highlighted as they were happening yet they weren't corrected or re-addressed.

Not especially, dithering with lockdowns, cover ups , lies, and all after an exercise in what to do and what would be needed if a virus hit the uk

The government did make mistakes, especially regarding flights etc into the country. The question is what would other governments have done if they had been elected. Which is something we will never know. As they weren't. Quite possibly made the same or similar mistakes, or very unlikely got everything exactly right.

There you go.

This is probably what most Tories will say. "What about if someone else was in government".

It's easier than accepting that Boris's actions, or specifically inaction, led to 1000's of extra deaths.

Still, if that fails there's always the argument that our death rate isn't counted in the same was as Ecuador's, so when it's all tallied up, we might not be much worse then them.

Lockdown: madness.

When the history books are written we'll see the unnecessary damage that has been done...and the lies that the lockdown enthusiasts told

Exactly. It is irrelevant. That was my whole point.

I don't know, you don't know, nobody knows.

Would labour have done better? Would the libdems done better? The greens? All irrelevant because they weren't in government, the Tories were. Could it have been done better? Of course it could. Different people make different mistakes.

It's all...whataboutary! To quote you Lionel. We can't know if it would have been handed differently at the time because we didn't have the information the government had or the balancing act needed. The knock on effects we aren't aware of. It's much more than just one decision.

Should we have an enquiry. Most certainly. We need to learn for the next time.

The inquiry will be kicked into the long grass.

Its already been shifted from this year, till next spring.

It will be years before anyone finds anything remotely near the truth,by which time those in power at the time will have moved on.

We have seen it time and time again in the past.

Labour should be on their case each day,demanding a truly independent inquiry.

I apologise then. It sounded it, I must have misread.

Can you ever have a truly independent enquiry? Only if it was chaired by someone from outside of the country, would it have any gravitas for me.

All governmental enquiries get kicked into the long grass, from whatever colour. Very few ever get to the truth and even fewer will blame anyone as a specific.

It does need looking into with all means possible. I doubt it will lead to anything criminal unless its proven they took actions deliberately to kill people. Also it needs to be done as soon as it does not detract from fighting the virus. Ultimately forgiveness is a personal thing and can be demonstrated at the next chance to vote

And a waste of money.

Do you know of one that has been of any use or laid blame anywhere? Enough to get what you are looking for?

But hopefully we can learn something from them, if nothing else.

Not a one.

Even the horrific ones like bloody Sunday come years after nearly everyone involved has died.
