Can I just choose to kill all the over 65s so they don't bother me with anodyne questions? And yes, that includes @Joey66

And there we have it. It’s a bit of a bugger making decisions isn’t it, even when in this case it won’t make a blind bit of difference to anyone’s life, whatever you chose , because no one will take any notice. The only ramifications are that I may be able to point and say Ha ha......

Because it's akin to thinking my choice to sell Bernard and not Gordon is comparable with Ancelotti's decision to do the opposite. He and I are in no way comparable, yet you're somehow suggesting that Johnson ignoring SAGE for a week is the equivalent of me not engaging in your silliness.
 
Just think how much further they'd have fallen if there was a lockdown and quarantine worthy of the name in place for the last 2 months?
Theres no way a lockdown more than this can be implemented in fairness as there is plenty of time left of this to run. With the new variants etc you have to minimise the risk but try to keep things going.

It‘s not silliness Bruce. It’s making decisions and someone has to do it. You attribute these decisions to Boris, yet even though you are probably more qualified than he is in the sciences, you would not make a simple yes or no decision when pressed. Like myself you’ve probably made thousands of decisions that affect people, their employment, their careers and futures, but never one affecting someone’s life. Some on here probably do it for a living on a one to one basis, but never on behalf of 66 million. So when you push me as to whether or not I blame the government on something, I try to put myself in the position they were at the time, and it’s not always quite so simple. It is of course very simple after the event when the results are known.....

Now put yourself in the position of VDL and let me know your thoughts.....

I don't doubt that the government has a job that is almost certainly going to upset many and cause harm to even more. In many instances, they are damned either way. I also have more respect for those whose opinions have real consequences than those of us harking from the sidelines whose opinions have no impact one way or another. Having said that, there is repeated evidence of the scientific advice pointing in a certain direction, and the government choosing either to delay following it or to continue deliberately down the opposite path before eventually following it.
