Oh America


Genuinely appalled at what's going on in the USA right now, a total failure of leadership it seems. My worst fear is that they're going to be burying a lot more of their people over the next 6-12 weeks than they need to, perhaps even more than we've seen in Italy and Spain. Now I don't wish to tempt fate, the leadership here in the UK our Government hasn't shrouded itself in glory either. First they picked the wrong strategy and then as far as resource distribution and preparedness goes, we've seen too little, too late! Only now are people starting to understand what is required. In my view the country needs to be run by someone different, someone with some integrity and gravitas, someone who can communicate the seriousness of this pandemic and get people engaged and motivated. I sense none of these things in the current PM. Someone like Hancock or Rishi Sunak would appear to have a lot more going on upstairs than the incumbent wally, but, even he is 10 times better than Trump who can't even string a sentence together let alone save 2 million lives, it's shocking, surely there's someone ?
