Do it too early, one set blame you for being too soon.
Wait a bit and another set blame you for taking to long.
There will always be people who blame "the government", whatever they do.

The Government are responsible for these decisions in the end. When a decision is first made they will get flack from either side but that's the nature of the job. If they make the right decision time may vindicate them but in this case, time didn't. It was as the report says it turned out to be a very bad decision.
I have a lot of understanding of why they made the decision. I thought it made sense at the time. It was still a bad decision for which they're responsible though.
