Indeed, loto after covid took hold. I agree on previous issues they could have acted sooner, particularly in March. However unless they had a crystal ball I’m unsure how you can call them naive and out on the timing on the covid mutant. They reacted on evidence that was only available to them Friday, Starmer wanted Christmas cancelled regardless of the new strain. Whenever I think matters have been handled badly I look at the opposition bench and realise it could have been far worse.
New variant or not, they knew the numbers were going up again. In fact, they've been criticised by senior members within their own party for deliberately lying to (or at least misleading) the house ........ "extremely egregious" according to Sir Charles Walker.
So, no crystal ball required........... just some other kind of balls, to tell the bloody truth for once. I suppose in their defence, the government does display an admirable amount of bollocks when it comes to talking.
