Hahhh! Now the mere mention of Churchill's government leads me to compare with Johnson's govt and what the English electorate negligently voted in. Here's the rub: the medical emergency has exposed more than the fact that Johnson is a 3rd rate politician. It has also revealed that behind him stands (or wobbles) a 3rd rate Cabinet! In contrast, Churchill's war Cabinet was stuffed with towering personalities such as Bevin or Beaverbrook who conjured up Spitfires for the Battle of Britain. For advisers, Churchill had Keynes to run the economy, Beveridge to invent the post-war welfare state and Cherwell who had more real science in his pinkie than Cummings will ever comprehend. And while Churchill made glorious speeches, the war was actually won by a trio of top class warlords: Brooke, Portal and Cunningham. Ponder on this question - 75 years from now, will anyone remember smug Dom, Raab, hapless Matt Hancock or crazy Priti Patel? Can you even remember the Sec for Defence????? If this "shower" of chancers is remembered at all,it will be for their dithering and incoherence during a life-threatening plague that they were too incompetent to deal with!! Socially cocooned by their private school, Oxbridge, privileged backgrounds, this Cabinet refused to believe "their England" could fall victim to a foreign plague. Remember immune Johnson in March - deserved what was coming to him and got it!!! What followed after that bordered on criminality! And now we realise we are being governed by over-promoted fools! I weep for England and a huge chunk of the population who are decent and do not share the extreme politics of these morons. Fortunately, north of the border, there is an escape hatch via independence. IMO the Scot FM no longer needs to kowtow to the ludicrous Boris/Cummings cabal. With support rising for independence (and no f###### wonder!), the time has come to exercise the sovereign will of the Scot people to a pt where Scotland is not for turning even if Boris is - most days
