Balderdash. Talk about putting up a straw man to have a pop at the British!
Firstly the initial strategy of trying to attain 'herd' instinct that Boris' government considered following was posited by experts – and in the initial phases when policy was being made on the hoof – was supported by perfectly rational arguments.
I assume you realise, Fintan that this is a novel virus? Do you know what that means?
Yes. Whilst much of the globe was finding their strategy, at the time no consensus had emerged. Many different experts were propounding different paths.
As soon as the experts fully understood the pros and cons of their recommendations they advised the government accordingly.
And they changed tack as you would expect. The evolution of a strategy.
A strategy which just might have worked to better advantage of other international strategies. You might not be putting up straw men if it showed that that was the way to proceed.
But it didn't and Britain changed. It's not 'owned' by Boris.
But hey, have a pop and expose your real prejudice. And what's this bullocks about British exceptionalism? Another of your predudices?
We have hardly been a Nationalistic nation, let alone a 'superior' one if that's what you are getting at.
Yes we may be patriotic, but apart from a few unfortunate factions, we are comfortable in our own skin.
And of course, your beloved Ireland has all the answers. Plenty of 'straw man' opportunities there of course.

Now highly politically biased toward far left ideas, will never criticise those who are to the left of the spectrum or try to spin a highly unfavourable story for a left wing organisation or ideal positively.
Will always paint conservatives/ right wing, men (bonus points if white men), brexit, the west in a bad light. Will rarely publish thing critical of the EU, mass immigration, illegal immigration, modern eco/political/feminist activism , political correctness and minority groups etc. Pretty much a left wing daily mail with about the same amount of credibility.
Manufactures smear campaigns and sometimes downright lies against their ideological opponents and enforce political correctness at every turn. Has some of the worst journalists in the UK working for them I.e Owen Jones.

Any paper that hires Owen Jones and Ash Sakar credibility should be under question.

Not a newspaper, a low down disgrace dictated from the hypocritical left pole.
