Said it before but the pandemic has really highlighted the astonishing levels of selfishness in this country.
As you say even in non-covid times I wouldn't go to my parents if I thought as was ill as I didn't want to pass anything on to them yet people will happily turn up when clearly ill because their Christmas is more important.
I feel that. I’m appreciating every day Draghi is in charge her - makes a change to have a serious politician in charge.Probably I just generally despair at who’s in charge of the major countries at this point in time when competence is sorely needed.

Now I am no fan of Biden or Macron but it's ridiculous to put them in the same category as JohnsonHis continued presence as PM is an international embarrassment. Or at least it would be if Biden and Macron weren’t competing
Biden is very poor but compared to Trump?Probably I just generally despair at who’s in charge of the major countries at this point in time when competence is sorely needed.
Yeah I agree, I was talking to someone recently who said he’d rather have Berlusconi back as PM rather than Draghi as he’s more ‘fun’.Bolsonaro, Johnson, Duterte, Macron, Trump, the Aussie guy. All in charge in 2020 and all just terrible in their own ways.
We have got to stop falling for charisma and personalities and respect that someone who seems ‘boring’ or technocratic is what’s needed to solve the complex global problems most countries now face.
Then again in this country people win votes by being actively anti intellectual

Exactly the attitude that lead to the chaos that we have. I don't want fun politicians. I want competence and integrity.Yeah I agree, I was talking to someone recently who said he’d rather have Berlusconi back as PM rather than Draghi as he’s more ‘fun’.
As much as I can't stand Johnson I wouldn't go as far as comparing him to Duterte! Don't think even Trump and Bolsonaro deserve to be lumped in with him, a total maniac.
I’m not suggesting Johnson would go as far as pushing people out of helicopters (unless ziplined). Just that the general calibre of world leaders is as low as it has been since WW2
fair enough, I'd add Modi to your list, another psycho.
You forget LukashenkoBolsonaro, Johnson, Duterte, Macron, Modi, Trump, the Aussie guy. All in charge in 2020 and all just terrible in their own ways.

Biden is very poor but compared to Trump?
He doesn't forget his opponentsI think he’s forgotten himself
He really isn't that bad, he's got issues with 1 person in congress who is blocking 1bill but all in all not doing that bad.
Compared to his predecessor he's brilliant but overall he is poor. Afghanistan for example was a disaster.He really isn't that bad, he's got issues with 1 person in congress who is blocking 1bill but all in all not doing that bad.

That doesn't make it right or a success. The majority of them supported Trumpnot really, the US population support him on that.
He would bring them in if he wasn’t in such a weak position. It’s amazing the country is effectively run by some backbenchers.
Now i feel fine again.
Really fucking weird it comes in waves
Im assuming its the vaccine as to why that is, instead of feeling wall to wall shit if unjabbed?
It makes it a success in the eyes of the only people that really matter to Biden. The US peopleThat doesn't make it right or a success. The majority of them supported Trump
Well yes most people in the Philippines like Duterte's crazy ideas that they can kill drug dealers. Doesn't make them right.It makes it a success in the eyes of the only people that really matter to Biden. The US people
Well yes most people in the Philippines like Duterte's crazy ideas that they can kill drug dealers. Doesn't make them right.
So if measures are popular they are a success and right? The world really has gone mad.
Genuine question for the statto's on hereSomething like less than 15% of Africa has even had one dose of a vaccine, there’s still a way to go yet, unfortunately.
Little high but nothing compared to previous waves.Genuine question for the statto's on here
What's the increase in (excess) mortality rate like in Africa compared to Europe?
I'm not even sure I've framed the question correctly. Hopefully you know what I mean.
Most countries just don’t have the capacity to keep recordsGenuine question for the statto's on here
