Pressure to delay primary school return after London U-turn – BBC News
Most primary schools in London are to remain closed at the start of the January term after the government bowed to protests and pressure from local authorities.
The Education Secretary Gavin Williamson dropped plans to keep them open after councils warned it could lead to disaster and threatened legal action.
The government is now facing pressure to announce that all primary schools in England will remain closed, as coronavirus cases surge, and doctors warn that the NHS is facing a crisis.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

So it took a higher level executive review to determine that it didn’t make sense to keep a few districts open while the surrounding districts were closed. Based on a testing methodology that is proven flawed. No wonder these losers go into government work.

People REMEMBER they said: if anyone has or had Covid at the time of death or had antibodies at the time of death, will be considered a covid fatality! So, just think about it, that language alone renders Covid, invincible!!! They already told us no vaccine will work because our death certificates will still list as a Covid death, regardless!

30% of infection numbers got the #CCPVirus after admitting into the hospitals. The UK Gov and SAGE must stop generalising the situation across, panic the entire UK population but instead target the hotspots: hospitals and care home. Let the ordinary people make their own Risk Assessment themselves in their own setting. BBC and SAGE need to stop receive taxpayers money, come out their spacious study room in their mansion, Aged 40+ people are dying from not having cancer treatment and losing their jobs! #EnoughIsEnough

Epidemiologists assert that the Coronavirus will remain spreading in communities for another two years, until Dec 2022.
The vaccines will reduce disease and death in the vaccinated (such as the American, Rupert Murdoch), but those unvaccinated will continue to be injured and die.

what if i could reveal the significant cause of the coronavirus pandemic. unhealthy lifestyles, indoor living particularly with carpets, insufficient air sources and physical inactivity, pollution, smoking, unhealthy diets and infection or foreign body rejection from medical procedures and implants are the most significant causes of preventable asymptomatic painless long term disease within the body which one day creates a local inflammation which spreads into the circulatory bloodstream of the body to become sirs systemic inflammatory response syndrome sepsis spreading bacteria to the organs including the lungs causing pneumonia sars severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and is the most significant cause of disease in our current modern world and the victims have no idea this process is happening until it is too late to which education, regulation/restriction and working essential jobs to fund medical care is likely a good strategy to tackle these problems

What I want to know is, why are we putting the kids in danger, what happens if an accident happens and a child needs hospital treatment? There are huge delays across the hospitals, parents won’t be aloud in to the hospital, not forgetting the risk of bringing covid home and sharing it with the family, let’s not forget the mixing of parents in playgrounds and the shops to buy the kids sweets, what about the mixing of multiple house holds on public transport to get there kids to school? And last, why is it just London schools to close? Is that right? Are we not all equally in the same danger? Don’t forget the children’s rights act, they have a right not to put in a dangerous or stressful situations that can be avoided, any council pursuing parents for keeping there children at home during this serious times of danger to life should be walloped with wet fish in public

More control and shutdowns based off botched figures, scaremongering and gaslighting. Hospitals no busier, no science transparency, all deaths within '28 days' of a dodgy PCR test….. this nonsense will not stop and the dodgy vaccines will get pushed until weve all been forced into having it. Yet things will all remain closed and the "record cases" will never end either. Wake up people to this hoax.

I believe the government do know what they are doing. Their agenda is to keep the economy running at all costs. They don't want to admit not knowing how to save both, lives and the economy.
They delay news reporters from finding out the actual situation. They purposefully create a life risking situation by forcing all schools to open in September.
It is appalling and disappointing the way in which the pandemic has been dealt with.
