So very true! It is for this very reason that I would prefer utmost caution rather than a booming economy. 8-) 8-) 8-)

It appears the UK population disagree with you as confidence in Blojo has plummeted.
Of course I wouldn't have expected anything else from you though I'm sure the families of many of the deceased wouldn't say his government were doing an "Excellent" job, especially those who had family members infected in care homes through the negligence of the government.
The problem is everyone has opinions but it's actual facts that are important and Blojos government has been shown to behind the curve since day one and has also lied and misled to cover their own inadequacies.

I would hardly call it a plummet.

No worries, I put it down to this extreme heat :-)

what is most shocking for the UK, is that we are an island should be far and away lower than mainland Europe. The fact we aren’t is down to the management of this, start to finish.

I would say say 9% fall in the popularity stakes is a "Plummet" but I would wouldn't I :P Actually it was the term used on Sky News by one of the political reporters this morning.

Depending on where you look for info, this site puts Britain 4th in the table. https://www.statista.com/statistics/110 ... habitants/
Based on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in over 170 countries relative to their population, Belgium had the most losses to COVID-19 up until May 17, 2020.

Below is the link to show the fall of support from 74% to 47% which is a plummet.

Does it matter if we are 1st or 10th? We are in a terrible situation, that isn’t close to over, Which for an island, takes some doing...

You forgot to add this one about £133 million contract given to a company that Tory MP Owen Patterson is a consultant for without going out to bid.
Nothing changes.

And if you want to know who's behind the contact tracing App:

Shock, horror, eh :shock:
This graphic doesn't make sense.

Ok, it isn't a flattering picture of the man, which is a typical, cheap, media stunt. However, it lists a proven trackrecord of success, then tries to present them as failures.

"Vote Leave" were the underdogs, and not expected to win. This guy wrote an app to enable the Vote Leave lobby to succeed against the odds.

In 2019, the Tories were a shit shower, and yet, thanks to this guy's modelling skills, they were able to win the election.

So would you trust him to write a tracking app?

Well, I would trust him more than whoever did the modelling for Remain or the Labour Party.

Now, I have no idea as to the quality of the actual app, but if you are going to attack somebody's ability, you should cite examples where they have failed, not succeeded against the odds.

The same company appointed Dominic Cummings’s wife as a Director in mid-April - coincidence? I think not... They don't even try to hide the corruption anymore

I don't think its about whether or not he can write a good or bad app, it's about how the contract was awarded; a loophole was used so it didn't have to go out to bid and was given directly to his company.
They don't even hide the corruption these days.

Perhaps John Lennon had the insight to the world!
Lyrics from Gimme Some Truth

I'm sick and tired of hearing things from
Uptight short sided narrow minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth, just give me some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic psychotic pigheaded politicians
All I want is the truth, just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied
Son of tricky dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocket full of hopes
Money for dope, money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied,
Son of tricky dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocket full of hopes
Money for dope, money for rope

I'm sick to death of seeing things from
Tight-lipped condescending mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth, just give me some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes from
Schizophrenic…

John Lennon, travelling the World on private jets, from one of his mansions to the next one,
then being driven in one of his Rolls Royces,, to his mansion in seventy two acres, of leafy Ascot , sitting at his million pound steinway piano, to sing about,

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world,

The main heading of this thread was about the Cypriot President........

Boycott

Who are you having a pop at, the lying, corrupt politicians who are complicit in the unnecessary deaths of thousands of our fellow citizens or the concerned people who are highlighting people who are making fortunes off the backs of the sick and dying?

Wind your neck in. It is obvious I was talking about the picture HiC posted. That was why I posted it in my reply.
