bbc.co.ukOh, we’re a “better” Country alright with ONS figures now showing more than 76,000 U.K. dead from this virus..What an embarrassment that this cretinous moron is a U.K. Government minister.

Uk has the highest death toll in Europe and he says we are the best country. He’s an idiot

Belgium is much worse, per capita.

I know but I’m talking about total count

Yes, he's a total and utter count.

Which country do you feel is better and why didn't you move there when you had the chance?
-16
Are you implying there isn't any countries better than us? We are nowhere near the top in so many metrics.
Press freedom is probably a good place to start - I'm pretty sure we're not in the top 30!

Yes, so far this is the best country I've been to and the one I want to continue living in.

The UK is getting a coronavirus vaccine first because it is a "Much better country" than France, Belgium and the US, says the education secretary.
On Wednesday the UK's medical regulator was the first to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for use.
"Speaking to LBC radio on Thursday, Mr Williamson said:"I just reckon we've got the very best people in this country and we've obviously got the best medical regulator, much better than the French have, much better than the Belgians have, much better than the Americans have.

That's not what he said. He said that they have the "best medical regulator". Read the article, not the headline.

That's not all he said. Watch the video, don't just read the article.

I don't want to defend this twat, but in context, I don't think it's that bad
"i just reckon we've got the very best people in this country and we've obviously got the best medical regulators much better than the french have much better than the belgians have much better than the americans have that doesn't surprise me at all because we're much better country than every single one of them so it did help that we've brexited finally secretary of state i i i i think just being able to get on with things deliver it and the brilliant people in our medical regulator making it happen means that people in this country are going to be the first ones in the western world to get that"

Very irresponsible thing to say. I don't think he actually believes that, he just wants to score political points.

What a fucking clown
Weirdly, my wife, who rarely swears, said exactly the same thing.
How fucking DARE a politician have faith in his country!
Having faith in your country is not the same thing as believing your country is better. Also if the last few years are anything to go by having faith in our country would certainly require blind faith.
He's saying the "country" is the best. He's saying we have the best peeps in the regulatory field...
Faith, makes you look like a moron.
