About Half due to Covid??? For God's sake the vast majority are due to the inept Governmental reaction to Covid, falling for media hype and ignoring the real problems (care homes, hospitals, prisons, the vulnerable). In the UK, much because of Half Whitty.

Unbelievable.

But more unbelievable that so many still see lockdowns as something the Government had to do. Still, hopefully this sort of news will break through even the dimmest of minds should there be talk of further restrictions for not particularly dangerous viruses.

800 dying a week over normal excess deaths.

This was totally predictable and should have been factored in to a public debate at the time restrictions were being considered.

Instead, debate was shut down. And too many in the public eye were cowardly.

It's a bit like the Prince Harry thing WYOT - unless you're directly involved or spot the media agenda, we all tend to go along with what we are told to believe. Terrifying that "Mummy he broke my necklace" becomes the biggest news story of the day.

If country was not in a recession which the government deny, then they would probably start another lockdown.

Furlough is dole money and no one asked for it and no one asked to be put under house arrest.

Not one MP stuck to their own rules; they pissed money against the wall and useless PPE contracts to their mates.

Not forgetting they had office orgies, whilst we had to close businesses and make people redundant.

I am still out off pocket on holidays, concert tickets, one theatre only offered me credit note which I rejected. I also missed quality time with my daughters.
