Why conflate lockdown scepticism with Covid-denial? Denial is pure idiocy - Covid exists, can even kill. However, sceptical questioning around how the state handles this is a hallmark of a healthy democracy, just as cancelling voices who challenge the status quo is undemocratic.

My mum was born in Australia, in 1939. At boarding school in Oz in 1949 she was being taught maths by a brilliant young German teacher whom she adored. When a new girl joined the class & asked Miss ‘why do you do sums on your arm?’ the class, who knew, fell silent... 1/2

What has this country become that we let the Gov boss us around with its petty, arbitrary, all-but-nonsensical control-freakery when fewer than 1% per cent of the UK’s occupied hospital beds contain Covid patients?
The explanatory memo accompanying these regulations - approved by
@dhscgovuk
- shows that the 1st dose vaccinations Govt wants to get done ASAP won’t take place until August, so people not protected until 2/3 weeks after that.
That implies a further delay way beyond 19 July 👇
