Although, if you must... I know it is a personal perception thing, I guess we shall just have to see.
I am quite patient, it seems to be something missing from society today.
There is also another point which is constantly missed in the "slate Johnson" camp. Whilst the three other "ministers" only care about their little bit of the UK and what they do within it, Johnson has accountability for the UK as a whole. Therefore he is constrained with what he does in England so that it does not cause significant issues across the whole UK. This is something Sturgeon et al, don't have to work with. So when Boris does something like refusing to align quarantine with Scotland, there is a huge amount of unrest in the devolved assembly. Yet when Sturgeon does something similar, impacting England, not a word is said. The Tories are represented in 3 of the 4 UK assemblies and it has an impact.
I have noted, for decades now, that most English think of England as the UK, talk about England as the UK and make decisions as if England is the UK. They also seem to slate their government as if England is the UK and that whatever happens elsewhere in the UK is irrelevant to that slating of the government. Post Blair and the devolved assemblies, it is not.
I don't particularly like, or dislike, Johnson. I do, however, actively dislike several other politicians in the UK. So I don't immediately say "He's doing it wrong, I could do it better". Because I couldn't. There are very few people who could potentially produce a better result than we have today. Starmer, with his party split from top to bottom, ripped across the middle and with tears in all the other parts would fare no better. If as well. As for the Lib Dem's? They have only just worked out that saying something which is violently opposed to by half the population and vaguely distasteful to most of the other 50% is not a good move. But it is a very good indication of how they look at running the country and being responsible to the people.
As for the SNP? They won't do Anything which looks like they are following England. They will do virtually Anything to be seen as navigating their own course. Unless, of course, they are seen to be driving England from Westminster.
So before going on about Mr Flip/Flop, let us just remember that his "Expert advisors", have been completely wrong the whole time. No we didn't get 600,000 dead, we didn't get tens of millions of cases, the lockdown didn't work and the fact that it didn't work just highlighted the explosion when unstoppable pressure from the economy Forced the end of the lockdown.
What do we have left? Masks until we get tired and relegate Covid-19 to Flu status? Masks for the rest of our lives as we live in fear? Or civil unrest finally trashes the whole thing, the virus let's rip and we get it over with?
OR, we get one or more vaccines, we go on a massive priority vaccination kick and we can get back to slating the government for doing everything else wrong?
This will be over one day. Then Everyone will be assessed on their performance. Not just Bojo and Trump. Don't expect the reading to be quite as clear cut as we see today.
