LONDON’S NEW LOCKDOWN DRAWS PROTESTS

In reply to the U.K. government enforcing a new round of COVID restrictions beginning midnight last Friday, several thousand protesters took the streets of London the next day demonstrating against what they said is an infringement on their human rights.
Aragorn Kyley, one of the protesters, told Reuters, “There’s plenty of things that can kill you, you know, it could happen any day. It’s about living, not just surviving. We want to be able to enjoy our lives, not just be stuck at home.”
“There are no good options,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan said. “I know these further restrictions will require Londoners to make yet more sacrifices, but the disastrous failure of the test-trace-and-isolate system leaves us with little choice.”
London has entered a “Tier 2 lockdown”: mixing households while indoors is no longer permitted, and only groups of six or fewer can meet in public places, such as city parks.
Police in the city made arrests on Friday when groups of people who exited pubs at 10 PM (the city’s curfew) and lingered in the streets. One person held a placard that read, “Shut up you fascist Tories, no one tells me what time to go to bed,” the Guardian reported.
Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, also arrived at the small protest. He said, “We’re here to drink against the curfew. To oppose the lockdowns, to oppose job losses caused by lockdowns, to oppose all of it. The whole lot should be lifted now.”
TRENDPOST: We note these new lockdown orders and the comment by the Mayor to illustrate the failure of governments around the world, which have imposed draconian lockdown mandates that were void, and often contradictory, to scientific data. Yet again, the mandates employ dictatorial orders that double down on their failure while robbing people of their democratic rights.
As new lockdowns sweep across the European continent, unreported is the success of Sweden’s no-lockdown policy. Sweden has a death rate far lower than the U.K., Spain, Italy, France, and other nations which had locked down.
It should also be noted that while there are continuing protests in the U.K., Germany, and France, there have been no major demonstrations against the lockdown mandates in the United States.
