They are probably able to grasp the complexity of the difference between ‘would have’ and ‘would of’ though.

I remember the good old days when comparing the U.K. to another country was compulsory for anyone trying to defend our obvious even then incompetent government. Didn’t take long for the would you rather live in Italy/Spain tag line to disappear.

Hopefully it will work but I'm struggling to see how to be honest. Seems to rely on employers paying for hours employees haven't worked instead of just paying them for the hours worked. What benefit is there for employers to do that?
Personally not confident that relying on employers to 'do the right thing' is going to have the desired effect.
The countries that the scheme is said to be modelled on as far as I can make out only require the employer to pay for the hours worked, the state covers the remaining payment.

More a centrist as in I am happy to take ideas from both sides left and right, solving problems through realism and pragmatism rather than ideology.
I dont actually have any party affiliation.

I think the point he’s making is that less people work in the NHS than live in Greece. Less people live in care homes than Greece, which has one of the oldest populations in Europe. When you extrapolate the numbers for any demographic and compare it to pretty much any other country “we” fucked up.I'm not saying anything diffrent

I went to my daughters school the other day and atleast half the parents weren't wearing masks... Now for me it's got to be a couple of things.
1.ridiculous stubbornness
2.thick as fuck
It's definitely not just an older generation problem, it's accross all age groups
Masks must be mandatory, and supplied free to the population

We’re better of with him in charge than Adolf Hitler. The point is it is him in charge. Straw man arguments to defend him isn’t a defence at all, it’s a measurement of the failure.Didn't say that now did I

The guy from Brazil. Possibly.
Which is true, had they contained it at its source back in October November 2019 we wouldn't be having these issues around the world.
Pretty sure every leader we have had one way or another has failed.
I put it down to lack of respect,
Now he is a numpty, the guy refused to belive in the virus and it got a foothold and we'll you can see how many it's killed.

My own observation is that the older generation are leading the way. If I’m in a shop and some isn’t wearing a mask it’s typically the 20-40 year old range.

No coincidence that it’s 3 populists leading the charge on the worlds Cov-ID incompetence.

I think it’s an entitlement embedded into the psyche of some people. They see masks as a restriction of their human rights, rather than it being their civic responsibility to look after your fellow countryman.

Only two weeks ago Boris was saying back too normal by Xmas, at the conference where sage were telling us not to shake hands Boris was saying you’ll be glad to hear I visited a hospital and shook hands with everyone including those with Covid. He gives him a run for his money.
I seen someone today in asda Walsgrave without a mask and the guy was probaly atleast 35 stone the health issues he probaly has would probaly kill him if he contracted it, yet my 78 year old granny who has lung cancer and asthma wears one
.Better way of putting it yea, the only thing it does is make my face a little warmer than what it normally is
, but I won't wear a mask unless I'm going into a shop or a uber.

Macron is the ultimate populist surely?
Was more like 3 months ago when the virus was subsiding a little, but it was always garenteed to return it follows the same pattern as the flu it wouldn't surprise me at all if we do see 20k cases daily in the coming months unless people get a grip and follow guidelines.
Don't want the vaccine they put chips in them, as they type from the iPhone 11
