The petition in December 2020 actually peaked at over 428k signatures. More than #UsforThemUK have ever managed in support or following. It beggars belief they claim to speak for parents & children as they very clearly do not. 
Further more the governments official response was one huge gaslighting exercise and the measures they refer to #UsforThemUK campaigned against and this was before masks in class & testing was implemented by government. Cont…
Also let’s not forget we were assured with a fancy plan that should cases rise there would be a swift raft of measures applied that went as far as remote learning and closing classes. It was NEVER used and quietly dropped. Why ?
#UsforThemUK stop lying will you, you were a minority, parents voted with their feet, it wasn’t safe for staff as no vaccine, the only online activists were yourselves and shady associates. If only you had been silenced and ignored. Cont….
LD 1 parents had already removed their children, schools had closed year groups due to unsafe staff levels and were looking to take Easter a week early. I never saw one parent who thought closing schools was ridiculous we were all waiting for the PM to get off his 🍑
December 20 a petition to close the schools (in favour of remote) amassed 405k signatures and went to debate where the request was ignored mainly and politicians banded about what they were doing, why we shouldn’t close schools. Meanwhile covid levels were rising exponentially
Good afternoon @Conservatives👋
In the last week myself & countless colleagues + 1000s of wonderful volunteers have been BOMBARDED by requests to DROP EVERYTHING & help w/ the mission for all adults to #GetBoostedNow, many of us giving up much needed days off.

😷s are just 1 part of an array of mitigations needed in schools (+other indoor spaces) to ⬇️#COVID19 transmission.
#LivingWithCOVID is a complete misnomer, it’s a lazy, irresponsible, selfish & unscientific approach that’ll result in many AVOIDABLE deaths.

We keep on saying “It’s not rocket science”…because it really isn’t! A #VaccinesOnly approach is simply not enough, it never was. We need MULTILAYERED mitigations, a #vaccinesPLUS strategy.

If they actually cared about children’s health & wellbeing AND wanted to reduce educational disruption, they’d have put their weight & influence behind making 🇬🇧schools safer.
They’ve had months to do it & have wealth & political influence on their side.
