    Really good series on SKY Atlantic covering Boris and the spread of the Corona virus based on true events. Worth watching if you can

    We lived through this shower of shite and the watched as the buffoons laughed at all of us, why would you want to watch a dramatised version of it all again?

    "JACKANORY" !!!!
    They should have carried it on to where Boris was having his Christmas parties whilst we were all still in lockdown
    Anyone who believes he was as ill as was portrayed and then months later run the risk of a repeat
    needs to wake up and smell the coffee and realise what's going on before their eyes
    More propaganda am afraid

    Just a little reminder.

    It is nearly Bonfire night, maybe we can get it right this time.

    It is a series on the difference between the action of the Tory cabinet and reality out in the country and the inept response and the mistakes made and the lives it cost. They may cover the later events in another series

    Yes, it is a good series and much better than I expected. I hope there is a follow up series dealing with subsequent events.

    The way the contrast between messages from No 10 and the real life experiences of those having to deal with the Covid pandemic was handled superbly well. It was kind of a tale of two nations!

    I particularly liked the little scene of Boris being prepared in advance of a major speech to the nation on how we should all deal with Covid. His advisers told him to deliver the message with clarity and in an upbeat manner. Fair enough. The only question from the man in charge, ie Boris, in response to the advice was "But what is the message?" On the ball again, eh Boris?

    Not really, not when the scummy c-word stupid decisions nearly caused the death of my 7 year old lad. I’ll hate him and anyone involved in the deceitful shit show - hope they all rot in hell.
    Feel free to reply / comment as I’ll be putting you on ignore. Your ilk are part of the problem - can’t see past the end of your nose.

    Mate. You literally mention Thatcher’s name in every other post, it’s getting weird. She’s dead (thank feck), let it go.

    The series reflected the fear and the deaths of people with COVID superbly.
    I was in St James in the middle of it and the fear of both patients and staff was touchable. The ambulance staff covered head to toe in biological suits was frightening for me so God knows how patients felt seeing them turn up to take them to hospital on their probable final journey. This series brings it all back and pulls no punches
