Especially when the true horrific consequences of deaths caused by their lockdown start to become apparent- at that point it is not in their best interests to pursue honesty with regard to the deaths attributed to covid. Deaths with covid, are not deaths from covid, especially now we are starting to see how many people have had covid and remained completely free of symptoms. The same is true of course, of the numbers of deaths [caused by the lockdown] from mental health issues, unemployment, lack of access to medical treatment etc....... could be 100s of thousands? a million, 2 million? who knows? I really wish youd lived through the second world war to see what REAL trauma looks like, this is a walk in the park compared, get a grip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If so, what has happened to that vote now?! 21 minutes ago, Delayed said: Boris has said that a vote will still go ahead and these plans will start from Thursday IF agreed Are you sure- I didn't catch that in his broadcast, and none of the summeries seem to be picking up on it. 2 minutes ago, melthebell said: I really wish youd lived through the second world war to see what REAL trauma looks like, this is a walk in the park compared, get a grip I come from a minority group that has a nine times higher suicide rate than the national average [at the best of times] i.e. we tend to choose to die rather than endure the hostility inflicted upon us by this society which is created by, and for, neurotypicals who, in the main, seem unable to have empathy for any neurotype other than their own, and, again, that is in the best of times, and this current hysteria is only going to increase that. I do know what real trauma looks like, and any assumption that it must involve bombs and mutilations is somewhat blinkered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I hate hearing the phrase 'people have got lockdown fatigue'. We've been told through the Brexit debate to show that famous 'Blitz spirit' of WWII. I think those who spoke so passionately about this during the Brexit debate, are not saying the same now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The poor souls who fort for our freedom had coplete hell for six years but at the time they didn't have a time scale, my god ! Never knowing when the end of the war was going to come must have been a nightmare on its own without all the every day carnage happening around them.

Non cabinet MPs such as Steve Baker also wanted to and did talk to the Prime Minister. The so called leaks in this case certainly weren't welcomed by the Prime Minister. Any disarray has been caused by those guilty of causing the leaks. Getting excuses in early. By November the Cabinet will be fighting like cats in a sack.
