RT: The latest ONS figures are now in, and prepare yourselves, the figures paint a concerning picture, one that begs a lot of serious questions over political policy 
According to ONS statistics, the total mortality rate this year is somewhat higher than in 2018 when the UK faced a significant influenza (flu) outbreak. Compared to 2020, the UK has suffered in the area of 27k excess deaths
The impact on the total no. of deaths is best shown in the chart below where the incline in excess deaths is clearly visible from Wk15 (27 Mar-3 Apr) onwards. The peak seems to have hit at Wk17 (11–17 Apr) & plateauing downwards the following week (18–24 Apr) before declining
But this is where the statistics show some divergence…
If you analyse the daily Covid-related mortality count, you’ll see that the peak of the Coronavirus epidemic actually hit the UK on the 8 Apr
When you compare the total mortality rate in 2020 compared to the 5yr avg & adjust for CV19 deaths, you see there's a significant differential. Reasonably assuming all other variables being equal, one can only conclude the differential in mortality is due to the lockdown policy
The above chart shows us the (total) excess no. of deaths in England & Wales, adjusting for CV19 deaths, is in the region of just under 16.5k.
And since we know the process of registering CV19 deaths is highly flawed, it's reasonable to accept that the cost of the lockdown policy in terms of tragic lives lost is far higher than 16.5k
