    They are chastised if they do and they are chastised if they don't, politics as a rule.

    I still don’t agree that a plan will work for most peeps. As I said our standing instruction is to stay home. What benefit would there be in saying only for the next 3, 4 or as many weeks as you would like to speculate on do?

    Edit: we still got to stay at home...

    How on earth can you compare what has happened in New Zealand with the UK.

    Look at the facts:

    New Zealand has a Population Density per square mile of 15 people.
    The UK has a Population Density per square mile of 650 people.
    It’s no wonder then that in the UK we are struggling to get the numbers down.

    It’s easier for New Zealand to police their borders as the nearest country is approx 1,200 miles away.
    Let’s face it no one is going to jump in a dingy from say Australia to try to get New Zealand.
    The UK’s nearest large land mass is Europe @ approx 20 miles away.

    Well said that man. If we are going to make comparisons it must be on the same basic principles.

    Agreed, but, it can make you feel good before the crash.
    Only a pessimist would see the light and think, this could be a train crash!

    Not me, I think the job is hard enough without criticising someone else’s efforts.
    Too much points scoring going on by Labour (We will offer cross party support! Bollocks) and loadsa people in the media wanting to sell their crap.
    The critics should put their efforts into something positive and helpful instead of trying to dismantle the Government.
    I think the UK has done good just as much as any other countries around the world.
    Ken.
    PS.I don’t Class saying I would like to see a plan as criticism.

    OK I don’t have any dogs now but I still get up earlyish at about 0615 hours and go for a walk through the wood on the back of my house and around the fields beyond watching the wildlife and no one is about so it’s safe as I’m supposed to be in lockdown.

    But today I had to go out for a blood test, the first time in about 4 weeks that I’ve driven.

    Anyone else think it’s eerie with little to no traffic about :eyes::skull:

    It is good to see your latest post @Kenbro and I agree there is far to much criticism from the press and opposition parties at the moment. I remain genuinely interested in what you want to see in the plan that you are seeking, can you explain :cool:

    You say you don’t think a plan will work, well, guess what...
    On the news just now I’m pretty sure I’ve just heard the Health minister telling us about their plan.
    Ken.
    PS. At no time did I say I wanted to see what was in a plan....I said, I just wished they had a plan they could publish.
