Does the UK’s lockdown need to get tougher? – BBC Newsnight
The UK has seen the biggest figure of reported Covid deaths since the pandemic began and there’s a critical Covid threat to London’s hospitals. Does England’s lockdown need to get tougher? Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
A further 1,325 people have died in the UK within 28 days of a positive Covid test – the biggest figure reported in a single day since the pandemic began.
It means there have been just short of 80,000 deaths by that measure – as another 68,053 new cases were recorded.
Public Health England (PHE) said the number of deaths would “continue to rise until we stop the spread”.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the spread of Covid in the capital was now “out of control”, as he declared a “major incident”.
Do we need to lockdown further and come down harder on people who are breaking the law?
Newsnight’s Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports. Kirsty Wark is joined by intensive care doctor Rupert Pearse, Sage member and Director of the Centre for Behaviour Change at UCL, Professor Susan Michie and Dr Dan Poulter, Conservative MP and psychiatrist.

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.

No. Lockdowns just make covid even worse. Also you wreck the economy needlessly and destroy people's mental health.
So no. Lockdowns and restrictions need to end. We been doing this for a year and hasn't worked.

Really makes you think why doctors and nurses are seeking protection from legal action when they already enjoy protection. Are they worried that people will take legal action for the failures of the NHS and its staff? The NHS should be made accountable for its massive failures and widespread negligence.

Hi. and Welcome. yes well Britain's number one thanks to Tony Blair. and it's no good hiding it either. you all must agree now I have been right from the start we broke the law of our World and it won't be excepted until they own up to it. Sumerian Law is a trusted law to the world of us all. and if we Break them it can be so serious to us all as well. Going into a War in any Country is an offence if they have No mass weapons. Tony Blair Knew this. as he stated a few months Back he regretted his decision by going into IRAQ -IRAQ above all place in the universe the most guarded places in our world Sumerian land. it started way back just after The war I had critics saying it is rubbish who are sumerians and even making laughs about it. well I hope they are still Laughing now that we are dying slowly by the covid 19 and I don't really think scientists Realise the full impact on the virus it can wipe us off the face of the Earth. and can we stop it No. yet we have the government saying act as if you have the Virus show's they do know yet keeping quiet about it. there is no effort for them to speak the truth each word comes from their mouth's so don't be fooled they even got people to back them up that Saddam was evil to throw back if we complained about the war. to hang a King with corruption is a bad Omen and Saddam knew this . and knew he would win in the end. why have we got 200 years left. so many innocent people have to die too and why they will live through the virus being immune'd to it show they have been Noticed but some bogus one's will fall victim by trying to give false pardon on people who Don't need to wear masks.

This convid fraud will only end with mass non compliance. Looking around at masked morons walking about in fear that won't happen. Weak minds have had 10 months of brainwashing from lying government, media and corrupt experts.
This nonsense will go on for years. Depopulation and total dependence on the state which will micro manage all aspects of people's lives.

Shocking behaviour – the BBC must lose it's commission.

This is the simple information that I’ve been trying to get through to people that PCR isn’t a test, it detects a gene sequence CTCCCTTTGTTGTGTTGT and in this case it’s the same sequence as chromosome 8 found in all Homo sapiens..which would be the reason for high cases and the myth of being assymptomatic, add that with part 2B of the doctors medical advice for filling out death certificates and you have yourself a pandemic…of fear
It didn’t take me long to find this info from WHO and NHS but i’ll share the links anyway for you lazy know it all’s…

Imagine recording everyone that's died WITH or died for any reason within 28 days of a positive test from the common cold/flu! Then putting those figures on the news everyday.
You would then have a flu pandemic every year.

Here is the truth about the PCR test:
https://youtu.be/EWNkJUDctdk
It's clear PCR should not be used for mass testing as it is not a diagnostic tool! It cannot diagnose a true infection from an old fragment that lies dormant in a healthy non infectious person's body!! Dr Sam Bailey here explains this thoroughly 👍

Just praying for your sins to be forgiven, and saying the name of Jesus at the end of your prayer will not make your sins that are red as scarlet be white as snow. In this time of disaster and pandemic like COVID-19 Fathe God is calling you now to come before His Word, and be guided into all Truth through the Spirit of Truth, and truly wash away your sins.

FACT: cases rose in US after Thanksgiving. The data was available to the world. In UK people got the greenlight to start Xmas shopping.
FACT: supermarkets and shops are covid spreaders.
FACT: the Christmas relaxation of rules was for the economy. People spent money in December. Rising infections were inevitable.
FACT: Boris would be more use if he was out there giving vaccines. He already has blood on his hands.
