I don't understand that, you must base your view point on information you have sourced somewhere, may that be the news reports on TV, the papers or online. My understanding is you live in Australia, so you are not exactly on the front line to witness it. I am asking you to share that info so I can understand your view.
Firstly; What has socialism got to do with anything
I imagine Foxy sources his news from Fox News primarily (hence the name).
What has conservatism got to do with anything, as quoted in the article posted the Guardian is only pointing out the conservative countries which have got things wrong, almost every country, got wrong footed in this crisis. Nothing to do with their political agenda.
I don't follow what you don't understand, do you only take in one newspaper, the Guardian as the one and only news source? Read up on the different governments reports from around the world and make your own view. Cherry picking is easy, I could probably put out quotes from the Express which have an entirely opposite view to the Guardian. But I wouldn't.
So what is socialism or democratic socialism as the labour party prefers?
Sorry, you lost me at so.
Appears you don't know your political parties to well, would you prefer me to call them the labour party, socialist is so much easier.
I wouldn't bother, as I wouldn't bother reading the Guardian, as I said, in the media you have left and right. I wouldn't expect you to take any more notice of something the Express has to say than I would the Guardian.
Oh yes it is factually correct, just not all the facts going into the article, just the bits that suit their agenda.
If that's the case who do you believe then and that was the point of my question, it's very easy to shoot down information as being bias or inaccurate.
Nope, I'm pretty aware of the UK political parties.
The government are doing as well as can be expected, in the UK and Australia. Put yourself in the shoes of the government. A virus has emerged in China, will it burn itself out as SARS did? One of those situations, surely it can't can't run amok over here (It'l never happen to me kind of moments) The world got caught out, the situation is, now, can we ride it out and protect the economy. No one knows. Brazil and Sweden go for herd immunity, I am sure that was in the mind of the UK, America, Australia and some other countries. Turns out that the virus is so contagious that it inflicts pressure on the health systems. Different strategy, lock down ease the pressure on the health systems get the flat line then start the community immunity in stages. The economies of all countries is now rooted, even when this is all over there is going to be more misery and death due to the rooted economies. More than likely more deaths than the virus itself. So it was a tough call for the governments of each country to make.
Well I'm afraid I can't help you if you don't know what the Labour party stands for, whether it be Democratic socialism Corbyn style, or Socialist democracy Blair style.
Pretty aware of the Labour party, Irish news covers alot of UK politics and we get BBC, Channel 4, Sky & ITV over here.
I certainly hope so. Can't wait for Parliament to start sitting again, I just hope that constructive collaboration doesn't amount to an emasculated opposition.
