Captain Hindsight

In an online meeting last night, The Home Secretary Priti Patel, said that she would have locked the borders down last March.

However, when the Leader of the Opposition says that, he is mocked as Captain Hindsight.

It has been posed that if Ms Patel really thought that, in not pushing for it or resigning on a public health matter, has she broken the ministerial code?

I have no idea.

But that Johnson locked the country's borders down some 50 weeks later than what was required shows why UK is in the position it is.

And still there is no appology from Johnson or anyone in his Government that they could have done things better or different.

Deaths today has climbed to 1,820. An increase of 200 from yesterday. Mostly avoidable.

Now there appears to be shortages of the vaccine, which is JOhnson's only plan, and so only hope, with currentl levels meaning it is unlikely that it will meet Johnson's own tagets by the middle of next month.

Even worse is data from Israel that the first part of the vaccine might not offer as much protection as first thought, which could mean longer, harder lockdown. As it is, there is talk of the current levels lasting to Easter or even into May.

Again, I have no words. My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones over the last ten months.
