Summarise the performance of the current UK government

Summarise in maximum 3 words the performance of the current UK government

I'm sure he was doing his best.

Usually, I tell my kids that their best will be good enough.

Nope, sorry. Not a good enough liar. . .

Oh, getoffyourhighhorse, give over. You're most gallant in your defence. It's not your fault you have so little raw material to work with. Unless you're one of your heroes, or married to them, why wouldn't you leave them to mount their own defence? If they're as good as you seem to think they would be, in the general run of things, I'm sure they'll be absolutely fine. . .

Nobody brought up Cummings until you mentioned him @GetOffYourHighHorse. You can carry on denying it’s a shit show until the cows come home but even the usual Tory fan girls have gone missing in action recently. No sign of Cendrillon or Clavinder for ages now.

Well in that case, we should give HighHorse credit for loyalty and stickability.

'You can carry on denying it’s a shit show until the cows come home but even the usual Tory fan girls have gone missing'

They've probably got better things to do than reply to rabid threads with 3 word only insults or you're out.

It is no more of a 'shit show' than everywhere else except we actually managed the surge in hospital admissions in April. Isn't 'fangirl' a bit puerile? I'm surprised mbos hasnt objected.

We don't compare too well with other nations with huge density of population, such as South Korea or Japan.
Our response to the pandemic was woeful, especially as we had such forewarning.
We allowed the Cheltenham races to go ahead, pop concerts to go ahead with people flying in from Madrid, a Covid hotspot. And then people were surprised that we had the worst death rate in Europe.

I'm just so overcome that you've adopted my word 'puerile' and run with it, highhorse!

@GetOffYourHighHorse

'We have an egotistical narcissist bumbling his way through'

Why do you think this? The NHS had millions chucked at it and coped with the surge in April unlike many European countries, Scotland has a much higher care home death rate than England despite having a less dense population. The exam carry on was the same in Wales and that is Labour run.

I'm not a Boris fan girl but the support for businesses and employees has been comprehensive. I don't get why people think they've done so badly yet Sturgeon gets praise from her cheerleading nats for doing worse.

Yes, totally puerile.

How many dead so far? Oh well, never mind. How many infected per day (now we've finally got testing up to a halfway capacity?) Oh well, never mind.

Just so long as it's not one of us, or ours, eh? I mean, our Great Leader Mr Johnson, didn't take this seriously until he found out that Covid was no great respecter of money, education (and the squandering thereof), and what passes for background.

'still waiting for a poster to actually give a 3 word endorsement of the Government's performance'

@GetOffYourHighHorse Why? are we kids, is it all some kind of game, must it be 3 words or your'e it?

Because it relates to the question set by the OP of the thread you are on.
My point was support for the Government currently is conspicuous by its absence.

Of course it's a bigger shitshow than elsewhere. We have thousands more dead. Thousands of these deaths could have been prevented.

Tens of thousands. I wouldn't worry if I were you. I'm sure it's worse elsewhere. Oh. But do you live here?

Oh dear.

Well, least said, soonest mended? After all, they were doing their beeeest. . .

@GetOffYourHighHorse Still waiting for someone to explain why care homes failed so spectacularly in the most basic of infection prevention and control practice

Care homes do not have the facilities, PPE or staff to isolate large numbers of severely ill patients, the Govt knew this (or should of)
Of course testing was limited in the early days but PHE (Govt) told care homes Cv posed little risk to staff or patients, guidance eventually withdrawn but by then too late.

The NHS also put great pressure on CH to accept patients, some didn't and were threatened with funding cuts.....

Most of the NHS was not packed with CV patients so there certainly was capacity to limit the numbers discharged and to assist CH to isolate the elderly.

My original point was that govt regulates CH's and if they weren't performing, then the Govt should have stepped in far earlier... they didn't.

From the v beginning WHO made it clear CV was a very real danger to the elderly, many countries, inc the uK ignored this but the UK had a 3 to 4 week advanced warning.

one of the best furloughing schemes in europe

.... Now one of the worst, other EU countries are extending to certain sectors, we are not.... though like airport testing and specific quarantining... expect a U turn lol! Johnson leads the world in those.

Shit shit and shit

If this is what you're happy with - well, I'm assuming you're not personally affected. Lucky. Fucking. YOU.

Shite, embarrassing, unforgivable.
