last time I checked the UK was only behind India on total cases That's easy to verify: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries Currently, India is behind the USA (#1) on total cases, UK ranks 4th, Brazil 3rd. If we look at cases/population size, UK ranks #22, but the only large country in the top 20 is the USA. To be fair, the UK government has been fairly consistent that their target has always been to protect the NHS, not the people. As long as the hospitals aren't running beyond capacity, the UK is meeting their stated goal.
