PM is sorry for covid losses,  says... someone else.  Maybe he was sent a postcard from Spain.

 

Seemingly apologised in the commons some time ago, might have been at PMQ's one day.

He apologised in a press briefing on 25th Jan when the death toll hit 100,000

 

“I think on this day I should just really repeat that I am deeply sorry for every life that has been lost, and of course as I was prime minister I take full responsibility for everything that the government has done,” he said, when asked what had gone wrong with the UK response.

 

It'll be interesting to see if this contrition remains when we get to a public inquiry in 2035

I didn't know when it was, just that I'd heard them mention about it on the news.

 

I still don't get why other government ministers are so reluctant to repeat it and say sorry themselves but hide behind bojo's statement, what is it, are they scared that by saying sorry would make them personally liable and left without a chair when the music stops.

They would all be as well to make unambiguous apologies now,  regardless of the outcomes of the inquiries and what level of blame is attributed to individuals.  UK and devolved administrations.  Unreserved apologies now says that you're sorry,  despite the chance that you might escape direct blame in the inquiry.  Doing so after the blame is shared out says you were waiting to see how sorry you need to be.  

 

As usual with these big events,  the apologies will need to be made multiple times.  All and sundry will keep repeating demands for apologies that have already been made.  That's just the nature of these things.

The other ministers are career politicians and there's no danger they'll apologise as it would infer liability, where as Johnson is a liability and couldn't really care as he'll probably not be in Government when any inquiry comes to pass.

The thing that gets me and I'm sure most other people as well, these politicians are only human (possibly) and there is no shame in admitting they got things wrong, christ the pandemic is/was unprecedented times and of course people were going to make mistakes.

I think most people realise this and would accept an apology and a committment to learn from the mistakes and do everything in their power to not make them again.

 

But then you get dickheids like Stephen 'Mr Perfect' Barclay repeatedly refusing to apologise, but coming over as a complete twat about it, is what people will remember, and in his case I hope yesterday's antics follow him for his entire political career and beyond.

Apologies are one thing but the lessons is the much more important thing.  I would actually have more respect for a politician who admitted that certain lessons were not learned when there was an opportunity to learn and avoid repeating a failure.  The old lessons will be learned line is just a meaningless soundbite.  We can see that some failures were repeated and lessons not learned.  If someone comes out and admits that they were too slow or errant to learn a lesson then that means they're now paying attention to the specifics.  I wonder who will and wont.

Yip, they just don't seem to get that they would get much more respect if, they admitted they were wrong and have learnt from their mistakes.

Admit errors but,  more importantly,  admit the repeated errors.  Admit to where lessons were missed.  Nowadays nobody believes that lessons will be learned because they are frequently not learned.  If you admit to missed lessons then it indicates you're more switched on than a stuffed suit blathering cliches.

2 day improvement on what looked like a possible overall rise again.  Nearly everywhere appearing to improve apart from quite a leap in East Lothian.  There's no pattern going on at all,  which may indicate that it's going to be a long term bounce around with no overall improvement likely.  Maybe this is the default level of residual virus.

That's the Borders starting to fall again, if it continues it will be interesting if/when it starts to rise again.

I do wonder if this is going to be the new normal sort of thing, infections coming in waves every few weeks/months or so.

It predominantly focused on the response to the pandemic in England. The committees did not look at steps taken individually by Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Perhaps you could show us where the devolved nations were shown as not "coming out well" in this report.

They are still returning covid positive patients back into care homes, no lessons have been learned, none.

I haven't read it either, I assumed, wrongly that it would cover the devolved nations.

 

My mistake, I was wrong.

Setting aside the virtue signalling and snakey and unnecessary goading within this,  there could well be a valid point.  If it really is the case that case numbers cannot be lowered to any great extent and that they don't rise to any troublesome level,  it will indeed become the case that the monitoring of case numbers becomes largely redundant.  

 

Good point you accidentally demonstrated.  Worth a good deal more than your embarrassing attempt at point scoring.

Every chance, but I can't see many people complying this time around.

95% will be self declared exempt

It's already happened everywhere and it's increasingly unclear whether it's something that should be viewed as the right or wrong thing to choose.  Mask wearing can't go on for years.  It might contribute something now but it's probably not possible to understand it in study.  It will be reinstated in mandate if things get particularly hazardous and if that is the case,  it would surely be quite clear that it has become the right thing.

I think 2k cases a day in Scotland is manageable. 

 

I think giving and the take up of children 12 to 15 has created a plateau of cases  

 

But I am absolutely no doubt in my mind is that everybody else should take up the vaccine. 

 

I am getting on a bit, have asthma and a dodgy ticker. I am now on day 3 following a positive covid test. It's not been a smooth ride but touch wood I won't have severe symptoms which may have been the prognosis before my vaccines.

It is amazing how many 20 somethings now appear exempt from wearing a mask, including the silly moo in tesco coughing her guts up, up and down the aisles on sunday!!

 

You are correct, compliance will be an issue.

“ compliance “ or people deciding enough is enough ? Making their own risk assessment ?

Masks have had their day tbh. It's more of a ridiculous ritual now, full of contradictions with too many exemptions.  The vast majority are vaccinated and, as a nation, we need to get match fit again, in terms of boosting our immune systems again.  No chance they'll be mandated in England again imo. 

Thankfully,  they've removed the powers to lockdown so that certainly won't be an option.

Yes I think So too . Yeah people have just got used to wearing them , without actually maybe thinking do they need to ? The ending of Furlough has also been a nail in the coffin to lockdowns too , and we are Now facing the harsh reality of how lockdowns are now affecting the present economy ( austerity mark 2 on the way , increase in tax rates etc ), coupled with the shit storm of brexit it’s gonna be a harsh winter  . To be honest what did people think when the economy was sacrificed with lockdowns .?  It’s payback time now really . Literally .

Summed up by the ridiculous situation at the school gates. At my daughter’s school you have people walking to the gate, put a mask on to walk through the playground then take off when they leave through the gate at the other side.

 

Despite the fact nowhere else in the country do you have to wear a mask outside in the open air.

Seriously, what's so hard or imposing about wearing a mask going into shops, etc... Reading some posts you can see why we can deal with things like this, compared to the far east and other places who do this without patting an eyelid.

Because this country now sadly contains loads of wee whiners who are unable to put the common good over personal comfort.

Setting aside the virtue signalling and snakey and unnecessary goading within this,  there could well be a valid point.  If it really is the case that case numbers cannot be lowered to any great extent and that they don't rise to any troublesome level,  it will indeed become the case that the monitoring of case numbers becomes largely redundant.  

 

Good point you accidentally demonstrated.  Worth a good deal more than your embarrassing attempt at point scoring.

 


As I’ve said repeatedly living with covid means exactly that. It will be here, there will be cases and people will die. It’s just something else in life that kills us. The constant public announcements of figures is now pointless and should be left to the government, medical and scientific community. 
 

Nothing accidental about it Vic but you knew that. That’s you doing what you do, self appointed authority on Covid and general good point making. it was neither snakey or embarrassing buddy that’s your bag. Anyway nearly 9 o’clock you best get to the shop. 👍

Not a shop assistant,  but you knew that.  Snidey remarks about shop assistants only denigrates shop assistants,  who are just people doing a fine job.  But hey,  that's just you doing your thing.

I'd say that this country has always contained huge numbers of such helmets. Coronavirus has outed them.
