I didn't downvote, but the UK was middle of the pack amongst European countries in terms of Covid deaths and economic damage. It's just our media focused on anything that'd make us look worse, like comparing total deaths without adjusting for population size or cherry-picking specific time periods to yell about. Also, pretty much the whole of Europe pursued very similar policies so that comparison isn't going to tell you much anyway.
