This is where she lost me.
The UK covid policy has been effective.
When comparing based on population density, the UK has done far better than most other nations.
On a per-capita basis we are pretty much middle of the road.
Boris and co also wanted to go with the 'Herd Immunity' idea which has worked fantastically in Sweden, Japan, Taiwan etc but was shouted down by Labour, the Media and groups with a vested interest in making the government look bad.
EDIT: I also dont like how she (and the comments) is blaming the conservatives entirely for this.
The government didnt want to enact a lockdown. They didnt want to restrict freedoms.
But every step of the way, the media, Labour and vested interest groups screeched and screamed that the government wasnt doing enough, that they wanted the poor to die, that they didnt care etc. And somehow that rhetoric worked as it reduced the governments support (although its been holding steady at a constant 42-45% support, same as the General Election last december).
If anyone should be blamed, its Labour, the Media and those groups with a vested interest in demonising the government.
