Incompetent or just unlucky?

[T00ts]

All around us we are led to believe that there is chaos. Downing Street in the midst of civil war, more Covid deaths than anywhere else, rebellion in the Conservatives, dithering on the EU trade talks, NHS in disarray, and no end of others while all the while we wander aimlessly towards Jan 1st and EU freedom.

I can't help feeling that hard as they try in Westminster they simply don't have the competence required. It's almost as if each department is somehow lacking. Or is it? Is it simply that no-one has dealt with real calamity before? Is it that they simply don't comprehend how the country is responding to their government? Is it that they have simply drawn the short straw of incidents at a really difficult time even before Covid raised it's ugly head?

I understand that everyone in Whitehall is exhausted with their effort, but is it possible that they are becoming punch drunk and simply don't know which way to turn, or are they simply unlucky?
