And this was the Tories *prioritising* the British Economy over 65 000 lives!? Jesus wept. England - you could’ve elected a troop of hungry chimps and they’d have done a far better job and caused fewer deaths.

Just as well we’ve got Boris in charge then

And who is responsible 🤷🏼 Top 4 worse affected countries...right wing 🙄

I wonder how bad the true figure really is 🤔.

Oh, well done, Alexander Johnston. How is this recession going to 'Protect the NHS and Save Lives'?

Check out the growth rate of human population. Only the well educated and hard working who take risks will succeed in the future. Forgetabout government subsidies.

And next up - hard Brexit...

Wonder why? UK has the lowest work efficiently among G7. Furlough pay still on going. Where is the money save from Brexit, any? 😂All got bs by Bojo the liar and the incompetence of Tories.

Happy little souls aren't they.

World beating. Wait until transition ends...

I have a sense of Schadenfreude

going well with Bojo and brexit

Bloody don't care. Lost all my savings in March markets Slump. Ex's put everything he had to give me in divorce settlement in high risk. I know nothing bout the markets. Lost 85% of it..only regain 2% of losses since. The bugger set me up.

CailinasEirinn Wait a minute.....give the USA a chance to compete.

If only we had leading politicians in government with a scientific background like Germany does. Turns out that studying classics at Eaton and debating eugenics at Oxbridge does not always cut it when you burn bridges with your closest trading allies just to get elected.

See what happens when you purposely close down the economy BorisJohnson & RishiSunak ! Good luck getting re-elected! 😆 Plandemic Agenda21 ID2020 Operationlockstep Quantumtattoo

Bloody Labour They got us in this mess. Bloody Blair and Brown. Boris is doing his best Clearing out the coffers Giving all the money to his mates, Their mates And Their Mates' mates That's what Government's about.

If only they were a part of some kind of...ummm...Uniony thingy or something, that allowed them to mitigate the impact.

And here comes Brexshit!

rolling stones:YOU cant always get what you want. Sometimes YOU get what you need.

Self inflicted wounds.

Presumably the pigeon (pictured) is to blame?

Self inflicted. Didn’t need to happen. Ignore the Covid19 hype. Live your life!

Countries with higher GDPs tend to fall a higher percentage than those with a lower GDP

Unnecessary so as well.
