I agree, as the UK just went along with every other country more or less. Except Sweden, New Zealand and Ireland. Obviously, you know what they did. Outcomes in the UK are also quite similar to most countries. The whole thing seems like blame Boris when, realistically, he just did what everybody else did. If he did it in a more bullish way - who cares? As for the party - the police investigated that and it has been reported by the media ad nauseam. I don't think the enquiry is anything to do with that anyhow. What will we do? Blame every leader/ government across the world? As I've stated, perhaps look no further than China and get angry - but of course that would be racist like Trump. We couldn't possibly blame the actual cause of the virus. Let's blame the response, despite it being what people who support this enquiry wanted.

Red and Blue Army!

The fact that most countries reached similar conclusions ought to be reassuring given they all knew the same limited amount at the time decisions were made.

The enquiry is not into the origin or apportioning blame. It’s learning lessons.

Covid Contracts. Money thrown to mates, with no come-backs.

That's my biggest gripe. And of course the care home deaths. And the parties, and,...and..

I disengage, I turn the page.

It is. It’s establishing the situation at the heart of government. An ordered, calm environment produces more measured decisions.

Well spotted.

Allow me to also state the obvious.

You are a bitter Remainer who wants to see Johnson punished for Brexit.

#Transparent.

I certainly believe he is a political opportunist who used Brexit to achieve what he wanted and I have scant regard for him because of that.

However as those with better memories than you will recall I was supportive of him and the government during the early days of the pandemic when he managed to stay calm and statesman like. Less so when his personal behaviour was revealed. Now that the chaos behind the scenes is being laid bare a more nuanced view is possible.

I don’t want anyone “punished” for anything unless they break the law. If they do a poor job then they get replaced, which is exactly what did and should have happened to Johnson.
