The insanity continues.
Boris Johnson plunged England into a national lockdown in some ways even more brutal than last March tonight in a desperate bid to keep the mutant coronavirus at bay while vaccines are rolled out.
Just a day after he urged parents to send their children back, PM declared in a sombre address from No10 that primary and secondary schools will be shut from tomorrow until at least February half-term, with only the vulnerable and offspring of key workers allowed to go in.
University students are being told to stay at home and study remotely, while exams will not go ahead as planned. Nurseries can stay open.
Non-essential retail, all hospitality, gyms and swimming pools are being ordered to close across the country.
Cafes, bars and restaurants will be allowed to serve takeaway – but in a tightening from the draconian measures last spring, they will not be allowed to serve any alcohol. Vulnerable people are being told to shield where possible. Communal worship can continue with social distancing in place.
I have no words. This is utter insanity. Utter, utter insanity and there’s nothing we can do to stop it.
the lunatics really are running the asylum now. What hope is there for young people in this nuthouse?
None of this ever seeemed right, but I thought that ppl would realise there was something really amiss when they came up with the mutant mink coronavirus, but no.
Then they mentioned cyber-covid, but no one noticed.
Surely the zombie mutant mink coronavirus scare would arouse suspicions? Nope. (they buried the bodies of the incredibly dangerous minks with the mutant strain less than six feet under so they mysteriously rose up).
We are truly descended from the Golgafrinchams.
How come communial worship can continue? Does the government specify which religions are eligable for this exemption? Does the govenment specify where this worship can take place? Fuck off, we all know it’s because of a certain “religion” who would ignore a total lockdown and a government who is too shit scared to crack down on the bastards, even the French have been doing something about the way they behave, I suppose our lot do have a valid reason though, if they backed strong measures it would cost them a fortune in detergent to daily wash their shit stained underwear, gutless bastards. As mentioned by a previous commenter, Zyklon B works wonders.
On a slightly different but possibly virus related subject regarding illegal immigrants brining infection to our shores, a simple and effective way to eliminate this is to give all who are caught two options, go back to where you came from or compulsory sterilization regardless of age or gender, also included should be those who make it easy for them to be here.
You may think I am a Nazi, I am not, I’m just a really pissed of 78 year old white mail who has seen our country declining from it’s once great stature to one of appeasement due to a whole bunch of anal self entry scum.
F.E.A (Fuck em all)
Bollocks,last paragraph should have read white male not mail, penalty of being a brain donor.
The Government and its co-opted data-torturers continue to rise to new heights of magnificence in their folly and refusal to believe the obvious.
“I have no words.”
Same here and you are right – it is insanity.
This country has had it now. Another lockdown ??? F.F.S.
Dear Mr Longrider
ONS all-cause mortality weekly data to week 52 (ending Friday 25 December) are out today.
I have been tracking excess deaths by age compared with the 5 year average 2015-19.

Dear Mr Longrider
Week 52 this year is notable for a large uptick in excess deaths of around 3,500. I suspect this is an artefact of the Christmas period with deaths being recorded the following week, while this year everyone is working overtime to give up to date figures. It will be worth looking out for more fear being manufactured over this anomaly.
My take on Boris’ extreme measures™ is that Boris, Sir Vallance Bedspread, Mr *hitty et al are desperate to get something in place now to allow them to claim victory-over-the-virus™, because next year’s flu figures are going to be phenomenal. Low that is.
This year the virus, aided and abetted by government cock-ups has killed about 3 times the previous bad flu winter of 2018.
The virus is simply running out of oldies to kill.
This week’s ‘tougher’ lockup will produce the amazing results of almost hardly any deaths at all™ in the early part of next year. And it will all be down to tough, determined action by our beloved government™ to save us from ourselves.
When the low death figures* come out next year, cue much ringing of church bells and knighthoods, peerages and Nobel peace prizes all round.
We will have been saved!

* I may be wrong: Wuhan 2 The Sequel may be released, or the NHS will go into overdrive to kill off the bed blockers by other means.
Ahem:
“This week’s ‘tougher’ lockup will produce the amazing results of almost hardly any deaths at all™ in the early part of next year.”
I meant this year, of course.
I am sure you all spotted this.
Happy New Year.

What utter conspiracy-hoax bollocks
I know 4 people who have actually had C-19 … 3 of them are still with us.
1: Age 37, loss of smell 2 weeks, loss of taste about 6 weeks, bed-ridden for about 2, felt utterly wrecked, especially the coughing & “phlegm”
2: Age 58, over weight. DIED. ( Obit in “Modern Railways” for Dec 2020 )
3: Age 71 as for no 1, more or less.
4: Age 72, not as bad a nos 1 & 3, but v unpleasant.
It’s a REAL DISEASE, idiots!
It’s a virus … it is NOT a world-wide fucking conspiracy.
Bloody well grow up.
The claims about faked mortality figures are simply madness based on paranoia & about as honest as anything that comes out of IQ45’s mouth.
Will you kindly stop using the strawman fallacy and stop fucking shouting.
