Please correct me if I am wrong. A vaccine passport means that if you have been double jabbed and have Covid you can go to events, but if you have not been double jabbed and don’t have Covid you cannot go to events.

BBC just reported 616 died of the virus yesterday. This is not correct. 616 people died yesterday after having a positive Covid test in the last 28 days. We really do want to know how many died of the virus yesterday. Anyone know?

BBC says a further 205 people have died from Covid This is incorrect as 205 people have died within 28 days of having a positive Covid test. We need to be told how many died from Covid & then if it was 205 or if it was 0 then we could more clearly agree or disagree with policy

BBC is still referring to Covid deaths (207) within 28 days of a positive test. It is about time this number is disaggregated to show who died - of Covid - of underlying conditions - after a double jab - after an unrelated accident - with no vac’s We can cope with the truth

At the height of the pandemic there were 1,445 deaths in one day and a number of days consistently above 1,000. Today there were 65 deaths and this is described as reaching a tipping point. Is this just scaremongering as we are being readied for more draconian restrictions?

I must congratulate my wife. She has continually supported the Daily Mail for the quality of its investigative reporting & columnists. Today is worth a read dispelling Covid myths, identifying public sector waste & exposing Magic Money Trees. Time to give up the BBC & read the DM

Interesting that Andrew Bridgen MP, who highlighted concerns about mRNA vaccines, has been suspended from The House of Commons for financial irregularities in his declared accounts. It does make one wonder about who is pulling the strings.

The BBC seem to have stopped reporting U.K. coronavirus as it would highlight how few problems there are. So why are we waiting another 68 days before we get back to normal The damage done to the economy each day x 68 shows stupendous incompetence on the part of government

Why we left and should not return to the EU. I voted to join the EEC which was a customs union that freed trade across all member countries (9 at the time) and benefited its citizens. I voted to leave the EU because it had become an extremely wasteful political union. Starmer has

As each and every country in the EU can veto a deal it is quite clear there will never be a deal. We just need to stand up and say that these are our free trade terms that we expect you to reciprocate and if you cannot then there will be equal and opposite restrictions.

It does seem that the BBC has been asked to find bad news Covid stories from around the world and not report all the good news in the U.K. as that will make it more difficult to keep everyone under restrictions until June 21st
