People are sick of lockdowns. This is why the Conservatives have just a 16k majority seat. And sick of middle class YouGov’ers keeping us locked in.

Why isn’t there a lockdown for the other 30 things then

Oh please don’t upset Drakeford like his counterpart in Scotland he has enjoyed his pandemic.

It will do across the UK as the correct figures are released. The government is clutching at straws and bringing the R number back into the equation. Remember above 1 and it's head to the underground bunkers, but measles is 15 on the same scale. Some countries don't care about it

Ok, I’ll go down to 4 masks but if it sneaks back into the top 30 I’m going back to 5

Hey now, hey now, don't say it's over..........

The first still being 'death by internal bleeding caused by sheep kicks' ?

I doubt covid has ever been number one
