I still don't get the logic of mentioning Corbyn in this context. Regardless, as his first thought might likely have been the safety of the nation, we can only speculate whether or not he'd have handled it better.
I agree ...... mistakes would have been made ........ though maybe not quite as many, not quite as big, and not quite with so much seeming inability to learn from the previous ones.
It's also a fairly easy job to blame everyone else other than take a scintilla of responsibility themselves too.
Corbyn offered help .......... but his "circuit breaker" suggestions weeks before 2nd lockdown was derided by Johnson, and then just last week, when Starmer questioned if it was right to be loosening restrictions over Christmas, he was immediately jumped all over, and accused of wanting to cancel everything. As I said, Johnson has continually tried to treat the whole thing as a personal duel, and then rather than discuss issues, crow about how well he and his chums have managed things .......even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Oh, and I agree yet again ...... it is bollox.
Still there. Quite strange to see where we might end up ........ no "easiest deal", no "holding all the cards", no sunlit uplands, ............. just sadness and betrayal. Just like the Buzzcocks song, "Promises", but in a different context.
