YMB, How can that be fair? How can the past few years possibly be compared to any other period of government that jno may have experienced in this country? It's unprecedented.
no, governments succeed or fail by what they do, not by the excuses they make.
Just for the record, the UK is still 29th in the rankings for number of Covid deaths per million - between Colombia and Russia. That means 200 other states have done better.
jno if we are 29th how are 200 states better? There are not even 200 states in the world anyway. We are the worst in the world +5! that takes 5Cery to a new level!
there are 230 places on Worldometer's list - though on closer inspection, two of them are ships, so you may have a point...
Some may be regarded as self-run dependencies, eg Gibraltar; no point in including them in the British total. The list is here if you want to winnow them down
