Drakeford and Sturgeon -
"This virus is going to rip through us and destroy the NHS (despite studies showing that it is much, much, milder)...we have to take action that damages/destroys businesses, restricts your freedoms and harms people's mental and physical health...it's for your own good"
Boris -
"Let's take it a step at a time, wait and see, base our decisions on evidence".
Drakeford and Sturgeon -
"England is an International outlier, Boris is a disgrace, we have open borders with England and Boris' policies are a risk to us! We have to protect the public from this devastating disease !!! (which you are only really at meaningful risk from if you have co-morbidities up to your armpit)"
Boris -
"All the data is showing that things have turned out quite well actually."
Drakeford and Sturgeon, 2/3 weeks later -
"We are opening up like England now, we were still right and he still needs to go. England is still adisgrace and no u-turn has taken place".
The idiot Welsh voting public -
"Yeahh, loves Labour I does. Have you heard about that effing staff garden party?! Bloody terrible after the sacrifices I made...having months 'off' work, pretending I was following the rules when I in fact made exceptions that suited me every week of my life. Nice boy is Drippy." |
They haven't made u turns and you completely embellished what was said. |  |

Of course Drakeford did a U turn, 48 hours ago he reckoned we were in the eye of a storm.
Boris is a buffoon, but there's no doubt England have handled things far better since Boxing day |  |

That isnt a u turn though. We have had restrictions before. England Scotland and Northern Ireland. Restrictions have ended before on the decisions of the advisors. | |

Looks like a U-turn to everyone. No need to have imposed crowd restrictions in the first place they have virtually no effect.
No crowd restrictions in England and cases rates the same as Wales if not lower for most of January. |  |

The Senedd relied on modelling which has nearly always predicted the worst case scenarios. Even in the first months of this pandemic we never got close to the worst case. Believing that this milder variant would be that bad was plainly silly.
Anyway, Drakeford has done his U-turn just in time to stop the WRU taking their home games to England, is anyone surprised?
Fair do's though, Drakeford said some things about how the Downing street mob had behaved compared to the Welsh politicians that was spot on. Or maybe the Welsh civil servants couldn't organise a pee up in a brewery, there is some evidence to back that up  | |

I know it looks like a u turn but it isn't. I think most things he does is pretty pointless including what you mention. I have said that my close friend is a senior civil servant and works in close proximity to the Home secretary and other and also part of those drafting the policy rules England follows. They were close to making rules possibly worse than what Wales made but at the last minute changed ( U turn if you like) to a wait and see process.
They probably got that right and it made his job so much easier. | |
