32? 😂 Won't have any impact but i don't think they will go into lockdown again anyway. They using lockdown to get people to follow their new rules.

I completely disagree. I think it will have a big impact. Not on the government directly, but on public opinion. Before the first lockdown most of the country- irrespective of political affiliation -were in favour of lockdown. Or at least, were willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt and go along with it. But now the situation is very different. A political divide is forming, with the left still in favour of lockdown, but the right becoming increasingly anti-lockdown and covid-sceptical. And they are citing the likes of Carl Heneghan and other scientists in that letter, to help spread lockdown dissent among the public. The situation is far more political now, and the country is far more divided on this issue.

Seeing this makes me do fucking angry. How the fuck are they trying to fuck up peoples lives and freedom when there’s NO evidence to back it. I swear if I ever saw ‘bojo’ on road, it wouldn’t be social distancing that he’d be worried about. Fuck sake
