The off-licenses will be doing a roaring trade and on street drug dealers will be busy in the run up to New Years Eve. More alcoholism, drug dependency and increase in suicide rate as a result of these lockdowns and curfews. That is the only real fact about this pandemic we know!
As for the singing Auld Lang Sang...fuck that! We should remember all those old acquaintances we lost through the criminal negligent if this government to act and protect its citizens.. especially the elderly!
That includes those younger with underlying health conditions that were written off as Covid related deaths. There has been more massaging of Covid statistics than a Thai massage parlour to create panic amongst the population that Covid is the sole the cause of our ills.
The truth is that the British government stands accused of grave violations of human rights whilst blaming it all on a virus that despite every conceivable lockdown or restriction has only resulted in a destruction derby of businesses, jobs and peoples’ lives.
What we should be doing is unmasking the masks behind the decisions that set the world in a downward spiral of self harming and nihilism. Those who are projecting more pandemics on the tail of this one and pushing vaccine after vaccine whilst their bank accounts are bulging.
We are told to wear face masks and that they can reduce the spread of infection by up to 50% yet I was seen by a consultant in the first general lockdown with his face mask down over his chin, and nurses who tell you it is only effective for first five minutes. Who do we believe?
Those on low incomes are out a fortune on face masks that are dubious in their effectiveness for any prolonged period whilst wealthy global entrepreneurs are investing in vaccines which include prominent scientists we know in the mainstream media. What the fuck is going on?
Politicians around the U.K. in regional government are having to fall broadly into line with central government approach to this pandemic by inflicting more and more pain on their citizens through draconian restrictions than this pandemic or virus could ever cause.
Where are the stats on suicides, drug dependency, deaths from loneliness and isolation and poverty as a result of loss of income or jobs or breakups of relationships/domestic abuse. The mainstream media and the government don’t want to know.
Do we get a daily briefing on deaths from poor mental health related symptoms or even a monthly or quarterly one? Not a chance! Do we write death certificates that include ‘died from restrictions’ or ‘government negligence’, loss of job or placed under curfew? No we don’t!
Does this government have a clean bill of health on the truth or sole ownership of the truth or facts that includes the views of those that advise its approach to this pandemic?
Does anyone for that matter? Are we being advised by bought figures in the media and government circles who are suppressing freedom of opinion and ringfencing healthy and democratic discussion around this virus only and its effects whilst letting the government off the hook?

More bungling incompetence from the British government.

First it was no up and running computerised records of who got what doses and when and now it’s jabs up to 4 months apart!

Covid vaccine: chief medical officers defend rescheduling of second doses theguardian.com/society/2020/d…
Again and again this government displays a rare talent or capacity for screwing up everything around the promises made in respect of their response to this pandemic. Everything they touch goes pear shaped!
They are chancers who fly by the seat of their pants in first promising they will deliver on PPE, a track and trace system on time that actually works, tests that are reliable, staffing of the NHS and proper hospitals to deal with a pandemic situation etc etc and then renege!

Under curfew 8pm to 6am in Northern Ireland, England facing possible new level of restrictions by government that exceeds even Level 4? Where will this end? All of us under lock and key in our homes, doing time on the funny farm whilst waiting months on end for the vaccine?
Leading social commentators falling into line with a unproven narrative that places all bets on the vaccine actually working and for how long no one knows, not even the scientists. Will government spend on vaccines next year even if they do protect us temporarily? Not likely!
It’s looking more and more like project fear ramped up by an elite that has panicked the citizens of the U.K. into believing that this virus is the Black Plague of the mediaeval era all over again and that the scientists are infallible in their predictions and our only hope!

How the UK government can assert that fishing rights are one of the two main priorities is totally incredulous given that decades of mismanagement by successive British governments have hastened the decline of an already threatened industry before the UK even joined the EU.
The quota hoppers ( ie. Spanish Trawlers registered under a British flag) that joined the biggest English fleet in a cooperative pre 1970's was the beginning of decline. Then followed a UN convention which allowed a coastal state to extend its fishing zone to 200 miles.
By the mid 1970's Iceland seized upon the opportunity given by the 1970 UN convention and launched the cod wars to seize more fish in British and Irish territorial waters. The British government did nothing and compensated whole fleets to stay in port doing nothing.

Freedom, Fish and Foreigners. The three things Brexiters have a compulsive disorder over. The rabid right wing press feed them their daily dose of toxic messaging of gunship diplomacy, a pirates understanding of the Law of the Seas and a rogue state's notion of sovereignty.
We are being fed a simpleton's version of the Law of the Seas Convention which much more complex than the media or Tory ministers and MP's care to study. At its heart is negotiation, customary rights and obligations, not gunships or jingoism.
International Law contradicts the simplistic narrative offered by the British government. Fishing rights are exceptionally poorly understood, as generally in common law jurisdictions their ambit is defined by a collection of ancient court cases under the public right to fish.

It’s ironic that those Ulster Unionists who are bleating on about their ‘Britishness’ now being betrayed when they were the ones, led by the DUP they voted for in big numbers who backed Brexit to the hilt.
They were misled by the DUP all along and sold the belief that by voting leave they would ensure their union was future proofed by ringfencing the partition of Ireland through a hard land border. That was the plan anyway.
Of course they didn’t factor in the untrustworthiness of the British government as they thought it was all sown up the minute the DUP signed the toxic confidence-and-supply deal with Theresa May.

Disabled, Cancer and Sick U.K. citizens will be penalised, lied to and left without the insurance cover to travel abroad as a result of a no deal Brexit independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Any chance of EHIC and Erasmus continuing are history with effect from the end of the transition period yet we have more deliberate attempts to mislead the U.K. public into thinking it will survive for a period of time once a no deal Brexit occurs in January, 2021. 🤷‍♂️😡
Insurance hikes on holiday cover will effectively discriminate against disabled or sick U.K. travellers disproportionately under a no deal Brexit when compared to the previous EU arrangements.
