Breaking: Boris Johnson announces third UK National lockdown

BORIS Johnson has tonight ordered everyone in England to stay at home until mid-February as he launched an emergency shutdown to try and save Britain's NHS.

In a dramatic escalation in Britain’s fight against Covid, the PM ordered the closure of all schools and non-essential shops for at least the next six weeks.

The PM announced the third nationwide lockdown came into effect immediately, and once again put Brits under effective house arrest - resurrecting the 'Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives slogan'.

Mr Johnson said people will only be allowed out of their homes to buy essential food and medicine supplies, attend medical appointments, exercise, work if it is critical and cannot be done from home and to provide care for a vulnerable person.

At what point will the people say ‘Enough’!? Is there nothing you won’t take?
I think this period (one that must be one of the most shameful in our national history) has shown the world that the spirit of freedom and liberty has well and truly left the English speaking people.

Posterity will curse our cowardice.
