Very simple. By the way they've handled this pandemic. Constantly too

15m jabs too late?

120,000 deaths too late.

So you think it was possible to have zero deaths. Not even China managed
that.

Who said anything about zero? That's just a stupid arguing tactic.

We are at the worse end of the country overall death rate for covid. We
can debate till the cows come home whose fault that is, or even if that
is the likely end result - remember when Italy had the worst death rate?

I said at the time. I am saying it again

the big mistake that we made was in not closing our borders to casual
visitors in March 2020

That, and not clamping down hard when it became obvious there was going to
be a second peak, and towards the winter, when it would hit harder.
Sensible measures then could have save getting on for half the total
deaths - and not put the NHS under such strain again, with all the knock
ons from that.

That's something that virtually ever other country in the world did
