Baggs do agree with your post.
To me Lockdowns are the proverbial hammer and nut situations. Just show that the Governmen is doing 'something' when they, in fact, doing nothing.
There is little doubt now, proven by figures, that the UK response to this Pandemic has been one of the worst in the world. Definitely the worst in Europe.
Even the vaccine roll-out which commenced that little earlier than many other countries has now falled behind many of them.
Many people in European countries have commented that here in UK so many people are just seemingly, carrying on as if the pandemic does not exist. No masks, being worn. I think this is because the British people now just accept that this current government just spouts, word bites, lies, flashhoods, and more lies. So, nobody, even their supporters, really believe anything they say any more.
The NHS is being killed off, privae medicine is being encouraged, and in the very near future will leave us with just a 'charity' third class NHS.
Education is going along similar route. Strange that those countries who have the best educational results for all their young people, are those countries who have very few or no fee paying schools.
So, in this totally unhealthy (not meaning Covid or Flu) atmosphere it is hardly surprising that so many people start to see 'conspiracy' everywhere'!!!
I must say, that whereas I would normally support the rights of anyone to protest to make their point - I do find that the anti-vaxxers are very much over-stepping the mark when they approach young children (12-15), actually saying 'You will die if you have this vaccine'.
I am fortunate, that I have received my booster jab and my flu jab. All my teenage g.children are double jabbed for Covid, MY EVC Son in law has had his booster and flu jab.
