Ex Conservative MP, Michael Stephen
A letter to Greg Hands from Michael Stephen.
It should also be read by Felicity Buchan.
This is a government descending into crypto fascism and Mr Stephen is right to give this warning.
Bizarre...a government making enemies of its voter base...
At the beginning of November, the UK was “locked-down” again, but why?
Whitty and Vallance should be ashamed of the graphs they produced and should resign.
95.6% of those who have died “from COVID” had a serious pre-existing medical condition – and sometimes more than one, which would probably have killed them soon anyway.
53.7% of deaths “from COVID” were people aged over 80! I doubt that anyone in this age group would think it right to inflict massive damage on their children and grandchildren just to keep themselves alive for another year or two.
In any event, the average death-rate for people aged over 75 was significantly lower this October than last October.
A person killed in a road accident is recorded as a COVID death if he had tested positive for COVID within the past 28 days - this is ridiculous.
It is obvious that if you test more people you will find more "cases" but that does not mean that the number of infected people is increasing. In any event how many of these "cases" result in death or even a hospital admission?
So what is going on? What is the real reason for the “lock-down”?
The UK government urges us all to “work together” as if that were an end in itself.
Work together for what? – to destroy the economy and to drive people into despair and bankruptcy?
If you challenge governments today on COVID and on the vast financial sacrifices they are demanding, the zealot’s answer is to invoke the “precautionary principle” – the perils are so great they will always say, that we must err on the side of caution. So, you don’t need a solid case – all you need to do is to scare people, and if you have a compliant stooge like the BBC the task is easy.
The people of the UK are not the fools the government imagines them to be, and they will soon stop obeying a government which makes hugely damaging decisions on a completely inadequate basis.
It seems to be the same in many countries around the world.
We have all become characters in a novel by Kafka, who face situations that are disorienting and illogically complex in a surreal and nightmarish way.
Regards,
Michael Stephen
Well said, Mr Stephen
ReplyDeleteThis government is really turning its supporters off
ReplyDeleteFelicity Buchan has a wafer thin majority. She had better start focussing on what is going on and be strident in telling the government to stop crashing our lives and hopes
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Greg will reply or just waffle on about nothing
ReplyDeleteThis letter sumarises very well the extent of the current stupidity. International comparisons are the acid test.
ReplyDeleteAs a result of covid the UK economy has shrunk by 11%. In Germany it is 4%. In America it is 2%. Our Government should be ashamed of itself. It is failing to strike a responsible balance between health and the economy.
Felicity Buchan is a member of the Commons Select Committee for the Treasury. Greg Hands is a member of the Government. They need to start making a difference
