COVID-19: Johnson expected to delay 'Freedom Day', as poll shows more than half of people back him

Boris Johnson is expected to agree to the delay of lockdown easing in England and, according to a new poll, just over half of the UK public is backing the move.

The lifting of the last remaining coronavirus restrictions had been planned for 21 June, so-called Freedom Day, under the government's road map. But, due to concerns about the rapidly-spreading delta variant, this is likely to be postponed - possibly until the middle of July.Boris Johnson says he would rather be cautious about easing restrictions

An Opinium poll of 2,002 UK adults found that 54% thought the lifting of restrictions should be postponed, up from 43% two weeks ago.Most of those wanting to postpone the easing are older adults, including almost two-thirds of over-65s, while young people are more evenly split - 45% of those aged 18 to 34 back postponement and 46% say the easing should go ahead on 21 June or earlier.

Around six in 10 people backed keeping the requirement to wear face masks, as well as keeping nightclubs closed and limiting large outdoor events.

Is that another made up sky poll😂😂😂

I know no one so who is half the people ? This is bullshit sky news oh well GB NEWS starts today goodbye sky and your “ agenda” 🖕🖕🖕

Ah this is the behavioral scientists and Government Nudge Unit playing silly games again. Rather than make the announcement they will drip feed this bullshit for a while to try and convince us its right. Even when we can see it isn't.

This makes me really happy!! Saving lives is more important than opening up nightclubs

Do they?😂😂

Theresa May said in parliament on Friday. “ this virus is never going to go away” it will kill 20,000 a year like influenza

So he must admit the government has failed yet again

Arsonist Firefighter Syndrome : PILE UP the populations in URBAN AREAS to support land & rental SPECULATION, MASS Trade, Tourism, Pharma & INTENSIVE agriculture.. ...it's CRIMINAL (Penal Code-Endanger human life or safety of others) DIRECT DEMOCRACY RETHINK EVERYTHING

Absolute nonsense.

Well as off 21st. I'm done with it all. So this chap becomes irrelevant

Freedom day!!! 🤣🤣🤣 FFS who you got writing this stuff 🧐🥱🤣

Must all work in government jobs where pay is guaranteed because where I’m from there is no backing at all.

Do they fuck. There will always be a new variant. We have got to live with this thing.

Those polls are fake, everyone I've spoken to have had enough.

Bollocks

That’s complete bollocks

The nhs isn't being overwhelmed by covid patients so there is no need to delay ending restrictions. Delaying everytime a 'new variant' appears means they will never end. Learn to live with covid, it's not going anywhere.

'Half of people'

You lot make me sick honestly I bet you are delighted

Which poll? Nobody or Polls asked me for my vote!! And, I didn't see a poll anywhere on this. UKlockdown
