I think it's clear from the polls that a considerable number of people in the UK are indeed realising that they've been conned, that they backed a charlatan, that they helped put a government into power that is dangerously, lethally incompetent, and tens of thousands of people in the UK have died of Covid-19 who shouldn't have done. Lives lost, on this government's watch, that shouldn't have been lost.
They've fucked up Covid-19 and they're going to fuck up Brexit too, because they are not up to the job, and as with Covid-19, they won't pay the price, we will pay the price.
This is what happens when you put a gameshow host into the most powerful office in the land, and he then surrounds himself with a cabinet chosen for its Brexiteyness, devotion, and sycophancy, rather than any actual ability to do their jobs well. And then for the icing on the cake the most powerful man in the land is an unelected bureaucrat, who is so pivotal to the government's operation that he is literally unsackable, even though he wrote, and then broke, the rules that so many millions of people in the UK made incredible sacrifices to follow.
Of course there are many who will never be able to admit that they got it wrong, you can see it already, it will be the EU's fault if Brexit goes horribly wrong, and we shouldn't criticise the government over Covid-19 because they are 'doing their best'.
The thing is, when it comes to Covid-19, it's just a virus. You can't blame a virus for being 'unreasonable' or 'negotiating in bad faith', it doesn't respond to flag-waving and you can't write lies about it on the side of a bus.
So we can compare ourselves with other countries around the world, and the truth is that by any metric, we have had the worst governmental response to Covid-19 just about anywhere in the world, despite the fact we had a forewarning of several weeks from countries such as Italy.
The government that got into power riding a wave of jingoistic lies about Brexit, has proven itself to be totally unfit for purpose. If we'd bought a kettle rather than this government, we'd return it to the shop as faulty goods.
Alas, we can't do that, so as we've watched in horror as tens of thousands of British people have been killed by this government's utter incompetence, they now get to fuck up Brexit as well.
And as with Covid-19, we will all suffer. You know who won't suffer? Boris Fucking Johnson.
