General Discussion
and then of course another difference between the UK and NZ is in the quality of the leadership. We have bumbling, blustering, Boris. "One critical success factor that is, unfortunately, harder to guarantee is high-quality political leadership. The brilliant, decisive and humane leadership of Ardern was instrumental in New Zealand’s rapid change in direction with its response to Covid-19 ...
New Zealand locked down early and locked down hard. Plus closed borders. People quarantined. Uk locked down late. Was it a hard lock down? For some no doubt. We were still having planes flying in from heavily infected areas and quarantining (such as it was) stopped weeks back.
Oh! So bumbling Boris won't be sorting it all out then? Perhaps he could take a leaf out of N. Zealand's approach. Reports saying no new cases there over the past 3 days.
Anybody else see the pictures of the crowded tube yesterday in London? Bit difficult to keep two metres distant from each other. And there were many it would seem who were not wearing masks. For those of us who are retired being in total or relative isolation (although I wouldn't want to be isolated in a care home right now!) is so much easier than for those who are younger.

For Wales, Scotland and N.Ireland though the message is still the same. STAY HOME Social ...
Here is Piers Morgan (certainly no left winger) talking yesterday to Andrew Bridgen (Conservative MP) about the Covid 19 crisis and Bo Jo's speech to the nation on Sunday evening. Susannah Reid starts the interveiw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha2vyuQprnQ
@Leatash - definition of libel = LAW "a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation". Your comment about my attitude towards Corbyn is false. I told someone who knows me what you had accused me of. They nearly choked. So for the record and avoidance of doubt. I have no time for Corbyn whatsoever. As those who know me know. Unlike those ...
@Flo - yes I have seen the Matt Lucas video. He manages to say (or not say?) in about 17 seconds what it took BoJo approx the same amount of minutes to say (or not say).
