To a degree, roadman, yes. But I haven't seen anyone attempt to deal with a pandemic before. He clearly couldn't win. Isolations and lockdowns were hugely damaging, particularly to the people they were meant to protect. But, if he hadn't done that, he would have been labelled a granny-killer etc.
It's impossible to know how any other leader would have behaved. And as far as a party, I can't bring myself to care much. The problem is for those that weren't able to see sick and dying relatives... but would a different PM have not also gone with any lockdowns?
As to being a liar or hypocritical, I asked gully, once, and he didn't answer and I'm not into politics myself.
Which politicians are not? I genuinely thought it was part of the job.... so for future reference, which names can be completely trusted please?
