Edit: I have met Hancock on a few occasions. He is the least trustworthy minister I have ever come across - utterly shifty.
Yes, we know you would. And I agree that it was a disaster not to close our borders in January.
But you cannot get round the other scandals:
The abandoning of test, track and trace
The throwing of care home residents and staff to the wolves
The PPE debacle
The herd immunity fiasco
The track record of lying and obsfucation throughout
"The abandoning of test, track and trace" - was a consequence of not introducing border controls - the system simply became overwhelmed by community spread.
"The throwing of care home residents and staff to the wolves" - I think that is a somewhat over egging of the pudding. I would put it this way - all Government efforts were geared to keeping the NHS operational (given the scenes witnessed in Lombardy and Spain) - care homes were what in the phraseology is termed as "collateral damage". On Newsnight the other night they had a female care home provider on and she at least was very measured in what she said about the situation, rather than using intemperate language such as yours.
"The PPE debacle" - not a problem peculiar to this country - everybody was chasing down what supplies they could get hold of - a good reason for now declaring such provision as a strategic industry with sufficient domestic capability to supply our needs.
"The herd immunity fiasco" - that came from the scientific community and was expressed by many epidemiologists in the early days - it is still being pursued in Sweden. Not a "fiasco" but if you decide to go down that route (and there are cogent reasons for doing it) you have to be prepared first, which means properly shielding vulnerable groups and care homes first.
"The track record of lying and obsfucation throughout" - all politicians attempt cover their tracks - not restricted by ideology or type.
