The logic about cohort size is such bollocks. Like teachers of classes of 20 don’t know their kids inside out. It’s just punishing poor schools and popular subjects.
Has this government managed to do anything competently since it was formed? Serious question. Brexit: fucked it up by their own admission. Pandemic: fucked it both in health and economic terms. Exams: fucked it. Infrastructure spending: fucked it. Corruption: fucked it. HoL nominations: fucked it.
What are they even for? Are people seriously just supporting them to own the left at the point? I hated Thatcher Cameron and May but I could see their appeal. This bunch are too incompetent to manage brexit, too ideological and timid to “level up”.
What is the point of Boris Johnson?
Ive been asking myself the same question. What have they done right? Even being incredibly generous I came up with the setting up of the Nightingale hospitals (even though they were never needed so you could argue that was a mistake although the way it is at the moment I expect them to be dismantled a couple of weeks before the next wave hits) and the furlough scheme, which could have been better but at least was something. And those are a small part of the pandemic which they've royally fucked up overall.
I can see the appeal of Johnson because he has character. Unfortunately that's all he is - a comedy character. But we live in the age of celebrity and personality so competence doesn't even matter. But then look beyond him and who've you got - Gove, Raab, Patel, Hancock, IDS, Grayling, Schapps, Truss. It's a shitshow. The only one who, despite being far from ideal, looked like they might have an ounce of competence was Rory Stewart and they fucked him off.
I'm not saying any of the other parties are particularly blessed with talent either but the level of incompetence in this government is bewildering. It's like they've tried to handpick the biggest bunch of charlatans they could (but with it being chosen basically on Brexit ideology and a pledge of allegiance to Johnson maybe it shouldn't be such a surprise).
They are the living embodiment of the Confuscious quote "the superior man knows what is right, the inferior man knows what will sell"
