He was put in to his position to get something forced on to the majority of the population that would harm them, though they could accept it from him, the populist clown-acting incompetent. Little considerable will be given to anyone who isn't going to benefit from their tactics, until closer to the time when they are in need of votes. The country deserves much better, run by people who have a moral compass who don't need to pretend to care about the 'ordinary' citizens. The covid-19 strategy has exposed a mortally bankrupt plan and cabal of loathsome filth. The majority deserve a strategy against this infection now that helps to rebuild the health and strength of the country and ita citizens, as there's still a long way to go for us to have a safer place to call home. | |||

Unicorns aren't real unfortunately."The issue, is that when someone highlights these important truths, some people dismiss it as a ‘rant’. Another issue is the defeatist attitude that this is all there is and we don’t deserve better. Your claim that ONLY those types of people go into politics are categorically untrue. Jacinda Arden? Pretty sure she’s not a white supremacist arrogant Etonian schoolboy. The results achieved by New Zealand having elected a decent human as their PM are clear and prove what the rest of the world could achieve. The specific kind of politician you claim doesn’t exist.... ever herd of Dennis Skinner? Mhairi Black? Not sure what kind of school Glenda Jackson went to or how important her accent is, but there’s another example of a politician who is for the people. C’mon, we deserve better than a disgraced ex-journalist with a reputation for lying. Don’t let Newscorp, The Daily Mail and the Russian bots on social media convince you that there isn’t an alternative. | |||

Great strategy but it’s missing step one, the opportunity we missed in December. Elect a competent government that cares about people over profits, instead of a gang of privileged white suprematist crooked arrogant overgrown Etonian Schoolboys along with a few token coconuts who all want to kill poor people and let the rich do whatever they please. The kind of people who say “I think the Royals should be beyond reproach” when confronted with Prince Andrew’s noncing. Proof that Boris believes wealth and privilege actually entitle you have to your way with underage victims. Jesus wept!
The issue with your rant, and partially the reason it won't happen is this.
Only those kinds of people go into politics.
You won't find a common, true 'for the people' sorta politician, who grew up in a council flat or estate, has a common accent, and went to regular school.
Unicorns aren't real unfortunately.
The issue, is that when someone highlights these important truths, some people dismiss it as a ‘rant’.
Another issue is the defeatist attitude that this is all there is and we don’t deserve better.
Your claim that ONLY those types of people go into politics are categorically untrue.
Jacinda Arden? Pretty sure she’s not a white supremacist arrogant Etonian schoolboy. The results achieved by New Zealand having elected a decent human as their PM are clear and prove what the rest of the world could achieve.
The specific kind of politician you claim doesn’t exist.... ever herd of Dennis Skinner? Mhairi Black? Not sure what kind of school Glenda Jackson went to or how important her accent is, but there’s another example of a politician who is for the people.
C’mon, we deserve better than a disgraced ex-journalist with a reputation for lying. Don’t let Newscorp, The Daily Mail and the Russian bots on social media convince you that there isn’t an alternative."We set our sights too low here, preferring to doff caps to some self-entitled bullies who are assured of their privilege to take from the masses as much as they want. The masses quietly endure what is meted out to them, whether it's having people getting found dead, through being too poor to eat or others who like the indoctrination of all being in ir together, whatever the faux or real crisis is, whilst over-lords consistently get richer, from their suffering. The New Zealand premier is outstanding and her goals should have been ours too. That people here admire the Johnsons, Trumps etc, is blood curdlingly shocking. They'll appreciate a mantra of 'world beating', then passively turn on others who are less fortunate, as the reality of having an imposed third-rate botch at everything, that was designed to make them suffer, hardly enters their consciousness. Forever clinging to some comfort blanket of the past, when the foundations of the workhouse-like life conditions were made, squeezing their wellbeing to create riches for others, at any cost, that's viewed as a golden age of world power. Tragic that so many months have been lost in the eradication of this virus here, albeit whilst unfettered access to public money has been enabled, leeching from the people what is rightfully theirs, and when visionary leaders elsewhere have been achieving so much more. | |||

"If it's a high grade of information that is worthy of attention, it's probably worth the op taking the effort to write a summary
Will certainly do my best to summarise.
To do list-
1. Sort out test and trace- delegate it to local authorities as it is likely to be more successful at contacting more in contacts
2. Mass continuous testing of high risk areas of transmission- factories, schools, certain transports ( tube)
3. Set a target for daily cases per 100 k people
4. Test all in coming travellers into this country at least once if not twice and monitor movements.
Eventual Aims/Goals
Reduce the overall incidence of Covid to
1. Reduce the death rate- more importantly reduce morbidity( ie any long term effects of Covid)
2. Allow the economy to open up more fully than now
3. Allow normal life to resume much more than now for all ages both young and old -make social distancing a thing of the past.

"Too many in this country believe if you went to Eton and can speak Latin..you were born to rule. We live in a hierarchical society..look at the deference shown to the royal family. The papers tell us what to think.. who to vote for.. who to hate..and anyone who dares to challenge the status quo is savaged.We should be grateful for what we have got..a 1% pay rise for keeping the country afloat..you should be happy you have a job. Paul Weller had it right. | |||
