We can't have weddings because of the gathering of guests! But you did not suspend The peaceful protests act to stop mass gatherings of hundreds!! WHY??

[jamesdeighan]

The member of public didn’t ask about big weddings or mass gatherings, simply when marriages can start again - even one with 6 people. Thanks for the non-existent answer

Please do not think all ppl are frightened by how the virus has been handled here in England.

So when you want the death rate figures to decrease you use the DHSC figures (and only deaths with a test, not presumed, probably deducting 10 or 20 percent for test accuracy), to show death rate going up then you use ONS figures. So how much higher were the ONS figures (used to induce lock down) than the DHSC figures ? (9.15 on chart of this video shows a discrepancy of 11713 death for the 22nd May 2020 in the small print). Hancock was correct when he said that we all need to be vigilant. ONS data was definitely presented on the 28th April (time code 15.35 YouTube).

Re carers, “duty and devotion” is wonderful; but how about increasing the pay for such an essential role.

How on Earth protests are not considered mass gatherings but weddings are??

[rogersmith]

Yet again the data is obscured by the signer. Its obvious now that there's no intention to try to make the changes necessary. It's bad enough being hard of hearing but to deliberately hide the latest results, is horrible. You show your contempt for others to the world via the internet. Shame on you

I hope we are now going to get back to normal. You 'instructed' us to stay at home so that you could avoid the NHS being overwhelmed and so that we could 'flatten the curve'. Both of these things were achieved weeks ago. If you are to salvage anything at all, normality should be resumed.
