What does 'good' mean?

They have had to handle the Brexit transition and deal with a pandemic. What other government in living memory has had to do something like that?

They are doing just fine. Meanwhile the lefty loons whine like little bitches from the sidelines. That is all they can do.

What can you point to that they have done so far that you can say has been successful?

The Brexit transition is a mess of their own making and that bed they soiled themselves is still not clean 4 years later.

I am not sure there are many parts of their handling of the pandemic you can point to and say they have handled well.

Still, if this is 'fine' for you I dread to think what 'bad' looks like.

The private sector have been a disaster, a unaccountable bunch of crooks syphoning off the taxpayers money and providing nothing in return.

And their reward, with every corona disaster, is to be awarded more and more money and more contracts to f**k up everything even more.

The worst example has to be water, where over 50 billions have disappeared into share-holders pockets since it was privatised.

And these companies just don't bother with rules and regulations, they are a law unto themselves creaming off the profits, and a major public health hazard.

But on the Coronavirus thread the problem was the populace not following the guidelines. Without going full-on Stasi in enforcement what more can the Government do without outraging civil liberties?

The initial lockdown should have been earlier. Once that didn't happen Covid had already taken hold and it was too late.

Since then it has been vague messaging and constant changing of position. The public were on board at the beginning but the constant flip flopping and Dominic Cummings totally undermined any confidence and eroded any will to do the right thing.

If they had managed to implement an effective track and trace programme we wouldn't be where we are either. Instead they outsourced it to a mate for £12 billion and it still doesn't work properly.

You probably didn't mean it but you seem to be blaming the whole public sector rather than specific companies or sectors of it. There are plenty of private companies that do just fine for themselves and employees and pay tax on their profits.

There are also plenty of companies not.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
