Govt U-turns 10:25 - Jan 4 with 3372 views | usm | Shouldn't these be applauded rather than scorned. Politicians (and others) get slated for changing their mind/U-turning, but surely they should be applauded for it. Its a good thing isn't it? Sticking to your guns, when facts show you may we wrong, deserves a slating, but u-turning doesn't. We need a big change in attitude generally, I had thought that Covid may help that along, but I'm not sure it will. Too many people still trying to score points at the expense of others and too many people, especially in the media, still slanting things towards their own particular end. |  |

Many of us have responded along the same theme, explaining to you the difference between the kinds of u-turns this government has had to frequently make versus the kind of u-turn that should be applauded. You've conveniently ignored all of those posts but you managed to respond when you incorrectly thought Jeera was having a pop at you. |  |

Govt U-turns on 13:41 - Jan 4 with 815 views | Swansea_Blue | Not when it's happens all the time showing that they clearly haven't got the faintest idea what they are doing in the first place. When they only have to u-turn because their first announcement is just to play to their base and ignores all evidence, including that from their own advisors. |  |

Do you only turn up to complain nowadays? Perhaps you have a different perspective and can explain, but what's the point of starting a thread to ask a question and then being facetious to the people who respond to you? |  |

This one is particularly insane. Have all the kids mix with new people over Christmas, bring them back for one day (where almost no learning would have taken place) to spread it around their class and THEN close the schools. Simultaneously spreading the virus far and wide, inconveniencing millions of parents and making it impossible for schools and teachers. I’m still sure it’s cock up rather than conspiracy but I can’t think how they could have fcuked it up worse if that’s what they set out to do. |  | |  |

It's utter madness. It's been clear for weeks that school closures would be needed to curb the virus, had they made the announcement before Christmas then schools could have prepared for virtual learning, parents could have worked on work and child care arrangements. Dithering and delaying to the extent that they let thousands of kids and teachers return to school yesterday for what has turned out to be just one day is an absolute farce. Parents and teachers are now having to cope with this on the hoof and there will undoubtedly be further spread of the virus because of that wholly unnecessary day in school. It's a complete shambles and there are no excuses for it. |  |
