Don't really think it is the time or place to throw insults at each other Marion. To my knowledge suedehead hasn't really commented on anything political until the last few days and doesn't have an agenda.
I've watched the whole of the press conference with Boris Johnson and the impression I got was that he really doesn't seem comfortable with laying down the law and he does come across as a bit weak.
However, the problem is that he's trying to strike a fine balance between restricting people's rights and freedom, their mental health and well being - and protecting them against this horrific virus.
Looking at other countries, the reality is that the government will have to start introducing some very draconian rules shortly, probably as early as next week, if we are going to contain this pandemic. I think Johnson is trying to avoid taking harsher steps until he absolutely has too.
Either way, it's going to be extremely sh#t and I hope we can minimise the number of deaths as much as is possible
