    Sherlock Holmes: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

    Boris Johnson: "Once you've made all possible mistakes, what remains, no matter how much the opposition was suggesting it all along, must be the right course of action."

    Do you believe in another lockdown? Seeing as the first one was so successful?

    The first one did have a measure of success, just look at the Whitty graphs. The trouble is we then had Eat out to help spread the virus and that worked very well, quickly followed by the schoolhouses firing up full of canoodling fifteen year olds, quickly followed by universities and canoodling eighteen year olds.

    If by success, you mean destroying the economy, 3 million missed cancer screenings, increase in mental health issues and suicides, destruction of millions of jobs and businesses as well as the trashing of our civil liberties and freedoms to combat a virus with an IFR of 0.14% and falling, then yes, the first lockdown was tremendous.

    Of course, it's the sign of the quintessential yes-man, that blames people for the Government's failure to "control" the spread of the virus, as if controlling a virus has ever been shown to be possible in the general population.

    Take your Vitamin D and get on with your life, Hen.

    Where did I say we should lock down? :huh:

    The first one was needed as we didn't have enough information. This one wouldn't be needed at all if the ****s in charge weren't incompetent thieving ****s.

    I asked you a question, Toby.

    You have now answered it.

    I don't agree with the bit in bold but your opinion was shared by many at the time, albeit it is still wrong, in my opinion, as we had plenty of information as to what was happening in Italy and Spain, who was being infected and killed. Our Govts chose to ignore the data and "let rip" the virus throughout our elderly communities resulting in tens of thousands of possible preventable deaths.

    The first lockdown emboldened the State to impose authoritarian, CCP diktat on a former liberal democracy, because people were scared.

    We will probably never get that freedom back.

    It's just the partisan default position.

    "Thick racist gammons think Boris is doing a good job of destroying corona , he should of locked down earlier and done lots of other stuff . Starmer would of fixed it by now etc etc "

    Most of us labelled right wing Tory scum think Boris is a **** but the people locking us down and forcing us into socialism are the Globalist puppet masters.

    Most of Western Europe are doing practically the same thing and it's designed to destroy the middle classes small business owners and engineer a subservient scared population .
