Whilst what you say is true and the Tories have been very slow on many counts and have given out many mixed messages, the death toll cant all be laid at their feet. It also requires the population to do as they are told and we know that this hasn't been the case
Well put a proper lockdown in place. A curfew. Enforced by the police and the military. Other countries managed to control all the retards within their populations.
In France you needed some signed form explaining where you were going and why if you left home. Police then had checkpoints or did random stops to enforce.
This hands off nice approach of daily bulletins was never going to work. A 12 year old could have told you that. Especially when many MP's and their friends and families have all been caught breaking the rules.
Part of the problem is that comparatively speaking our MPs and Ministers are paid poorly. An MP is on far less than someone heading up a department in a bank for example, yet we expect them to represent tens of thousands of people working as an MP for £70k a year.
They all have other jobs and claim expenses.
What about those that work in other public sectors that haven't had a wage rise in 15 years? The one that never gets mentioned whenever they do hand out money to the nurses, police, teachers, etc who get regular rises.
£70k per year is double the median wage. It's hardly a peasants living.
You have overwhelmed tax inspectors on £30k a year investigating large businesses with turnovers in the trillions who employ a full team of professionals who earn 2-5 times as much for much less work. Which is why when you have one person on £30k Vs a team on a combined £250k - £500k there is mostly only one winner. It's also why a lot of them are ex revenue employees who jump to the other side.
Nobody goes into the public sector for the wages bar the police, doctors and nurses who get constant rises and are well paid. You need zero qualifications to become a MP or police officer yet you can earn a substantial living from both relatively speaking.
