Today is 225th day of the ‘temporary’ coronavirus restrictions. The initial lockdown in March was said to last for three weeks. It ended up being three months, and several local lockdowns have followed since. The government promised Christmas as usual with a return to normality by the end of the year. Now, should they keepContinue reading “Independent criticises government’s broken promises on COVID restrictions”

Hopes for future elections shared by independent
An election is an opportunity to vote for something, not against something else. Despite what anyone says, you also have a right not to vote if you choose. What surprises me is the number of people who voted for Boris Johnson in the 2019 General Election because they didn’t want Jeremy Corbyn to win. TheContinue reading “Hopes for future elections shared by independent”
Independent comments on ‘free’ school meals for children
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Instead of reducing the tax burden on poorer families so that they can afford to feed themselves, through lower business taxes enabling employers to pay them higher wages and lower personal taxes so people keep more of their own money, people assume that the state should interveneContinue reading “Independent comments on ‘free’ school meals for children”
Government control methods and fear tactics under fire from independent
The more the state grabs at an imagined prospect of power over every individual citizen with no regard for civil liberties or personal freedoms, the further away we are away from regaining what is normal. The measures that have been taken are not designed to control the virus, they are designed to control you; theContinue reading “Government control methods and fear tactics under fire from independent”
Independent scorns Staffordshire County Council climate change spending
Why allocate £1.2 million of taxpayer’s money to fight climate change when more practical and economical environmental measures are most needed? We need cleaner water to beautify our natural habitat and protect local wildlife, more trees to reduce noise pollution and improve air quality caused by road traffic, protection and enhancement of our urban greenContinue reading “Independent scorns Staffordshire County Council climate change spending”
Plans for Leyfields housing development face independent concerns
Considering the above-target deliverance of housing in Lichfield, is it necessary to earmark urban green spaces in Leyfields and Nether Stowe for further housing developments? My answer is no. If only the council showed the same drive towards constructing a viable city centre redevelopment as it does for housing, we might end up with anContinue reading “Plans for Leyfields housing development face independent concerns”
Christopher J. Wilkinson attends Wake Up Hull pro-rights rally
Today, I am attending a demonstration in Hull along with other notable libertarians to once again stand up for liberty and freedom, and stand against the misinformation, lies, deception and insidious evil of the government and its current coronavirus policies. I never thought the day would come where I viewed such events as necessary, butContinue reading “Christopher J. Wilkinson attends Wake Up Hull pro-rights rally”
Independent blasts remarks by local Lichfield councillor over COVID restrictions
I repeat what I said on Monday: What could we possibly do that we aren’t already doing? The problem is that the rules and restrictions imposed by the state and local authorities don’t work. Authoritarianism has been completely discredited during this debacle… Christopher J. Wilkinson Rising infections rates are not correlating into proportionally higher deathContinue reading “Independent blasts remarks by local Lichfield councillor over COVID restrictions”
Christopher J. Wilkinson countersigns Great Barrington Declaration
Today, I have signed the Great Barrington Declaration. In doing so, I have joined the more than 414,904 citizens, 9,115 medical and public health scientists and 23,506 medical practitioners who have also signed the declaration which recognises the physical, mental and social damage being inflicted as a result of government coronavirus responses and calls forContinue reading “Christopher J.

Independent denounces government coronavirus restrictions
What could we possibly do that we aren’t already doing? The government is acting as though we were back in March again; it has forgotten everything that has happened in the last six months. Moving the goalposts from deaths to cases has led to all sorts of major issues. Domestic violence, suicides, poor mental health,Continue reading “Independent denounces government coronavirus restrictions”
