There was at least a report prepared and published something Johnson seems reluctant to ever do. The report actually held MI6 to be at fault because it was they who produced the dossier. It was from this that the urgency to go to war was decided albeit based on misleading information provided to Blair. Let us not forget that it was the Labour government who pulled the majority of the U.K. troops out. It is a sad fact of life that our armed forces are called into action by all political parties so let’s not be so selective in thinking this is a one party trait. The armed forces job is to follow orders hence the carnage of the First World War
The pandemic has resulted in the excess death of over 60,000 U.K. civilians so you consider this to be acceptable. We are now opening schools no if no buts but what have the government done to prepare for this. I doubt anyone is going to believe Gavin Williamson when he says it is safe because like many in the Conservative party he is not exactly to be trusted.
I expect you will agree with me that the failures of this government have resulted in the deaths of many civilians unnecessarily and the way they are going this is likely to continue increasing or do you believe it was the scientists providing incorrect information which the acted on in good faith.
What would you like Boris to do a report on ?
I trust a report commencing in 6 years is acceptable?
Even with the Chilcot Report,Blair still didnt think he made the wrong decision to go to war.
I particularly like your view on the Armed Forces - its their JOB to follow orders.
Hopefully people on here will stop asking for nurses to be financially rewarded for their efforts through this pandemic,after all its their JOB to provide medical care to patients in hospital.
Not sure of the relevance of Labour pulling the troops out - it was a Labour government.
The buck stops with Boris,just like the buck stopped with Blair.
Im not sure i would consider any amount of excess deaths to be acceptable,although i will wait until the pandemic has settled and it will probably take many years to understand fully the mistakes made.
I can fully accept that mistakes have been made by the government that have led to deaths,same scenario is likely to different degrees across the world.
What i also accept is that all the parties are gash,no matter what colour the rosette.
