So you didn't approve of Sunak's furlough scheme? You would have preferred that workers were made redundant during the pandemic, and that businesses went bust? China and the US have grown more rapidly than the UK during this period. Russia has not, and has been even more economically mismanaged than the UK. Brexit was in 2016. The Tories had already been in power for 6 years. Six years of unnecessary austerity politics instigated by 'Boy' George, followed by an unnecessary event (Brexit) caused by 'Call me Dave' gambling his own and the country's political future; weak leadership by May, who was undermined by her own party; 3 years being led by an opportunist chancer, and now the prospect of being led by a political chameleon. 12 years in power. How long before these promised benefits arrive?

Don't you think that the ongoing fall-out from Brexit is still relevant to today's political discussion?

If the "vociferous left wing media" is as influential as you suggest, why hasn't it translated into election victories for Labour? Re Johnson in particular: Johnson supplied an awful lot of tinder to light the fire.

You never tire of hitting the Ctrl+V buttons do you, even when the content is completely irrelevant to the topic under discussion.

I have no experience of the US health care system, but to suggest that European systems lag behind because they are "socialized" is over-simplistic. I have (relatively) recent experience of the Belgian and UK systems. Both systems might be described as "socialized". The Belgian health care system is excellent, the UK's is not. Again, over-simplistic. The waiting lists in Europe vary according to the individual country, and within the individual nations, according to the procedure.

I doubt that Theresa May would agree with you.
