Chris Witty and Patrick Vallance will make a live address to the U.K., no PM or other politician, just the scientists at 11 am BST. Shows how much faith the U.K. public have with this government, they are a liability when it comes to dealing with the virus.
I hope people will listen to the science, people are just ignoring the rules now, they have been so contradictory and change frequently that no one believes anything anymore.

Why is the UK in such a panic? The daily number of fatalities from Covid is less than 20 on average and has been for more than a month. Who cares how many people test positive? It all sounds like sinister methods of social control to me.

It all sounds like sinister methods of social control to me.
Or more like Covid is "taking back control" from the incorrigibly incompetent shower of Tories who will themselves soon feel the pain of the "sucker punch" they gave to the UK's gullible "blue" punters, but this time coming as a Brexit boomerang via Brussels.

Covid isnt taking back control if the disease isn't actually causing that much death and despair. Compared to the spring, it is a shadow. Doesn't matter how many new cases are happening if they are almost all mild.

Woah. Reports say Boris Johnson flew to Italy a couple of weeks back to spend the weekend at the villa belonging to the son of a Russian bigwig. No quarantine when he returned. Downing Street deny this, but he was seen at the airport in Perugia. No believes Downing Street.

Exactly. The muzzling of the population and, most scary, the speech control by the big tech companies, has little to do with any virus and looks more and more like a power grab, following the CCP model.

A power grab by who?
Why?
What is the CCP model (give us the short version) and why do you think it will work in the UK?
Without any exact details or evidence this just sounds like another loony Qanon theory.
