Christopher J. Wilkinson signs petition to stop construction of Festival Gardens filter lane
Lichfield City Council is planning to build a filter lane which will encroach upon the beautiful Festival Gardens. This is something I strongly oppose. As with other developments such as those in Nether Stowe and Leyfields, the lack of regard for the value urban green spaces such as this provide for local residents and touristsContinue reading “Christopher J.

Third wave fears at odds with return to normality as independent rules out taking COVID vaccine
If more than half of the country has received a first vaccine, therefore acquiring a significant immunity greater than any comparable European country, why should we be concerned by a supposed ‘third wave’ when we’ve also been told that said vaccine regardless of manufacturer is effective (to varying degrees) against all variants? If the infectionContinue reading “Third wave fears at odds with return to normality as independent rules out taking COVID vaccine”
Local Government Association guidance on vaccine coercion strategies condemned by independent
Following on from yesterday’s post where I said that administering the vaccine ‘must be and remain a personal choice to be made by individuals without coercion or compulsion’, an NHS document on the Local Government Association’s website dated December 2020 has been brought to my attention that clearly violates this principle (https://www.local.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/Vaccination%20do%20and%20donts%20by%20audience%20cohorts.pdf). If this documentContinue reading “Local Government Association guidance on vaccine coercion strategies condemned by independent”
Independent criticises economic and social costs of government COVID policies as campaign launches
The government would like you to think that today represents the beginning of the restoration of civil liberties and a gradual return to ‘normality’, but the experience of the past year may prove otherwise. From today, the only activities made ‘legal’ one again include the resumption of education for young people, limited care home access,Continue reading “Independent criticises economic and social costs of government COVID policies as campaign launches”
Push for gender neutral language raises questions from independent
If ever there was a greater reason to stand for election this year, I’d love to know what it is because this sort of thing that shouldn’t be making the local news. If I wished to be referred to as ‘chairman’ or ‘chairwoman’ or ‘chairperson’, I’d hope to be referred to as chairman, chairwoman orContinue reading “Push for gender neutral language raises questions from independent”
Authoritarian parallels with historical maritime law exposed by independent
The number of eligible people upholding their right to self-determination and bodily autonomy by refusing the vaccination makes me hopeful for libertarian values. As with the flu jab, you should only take a vaccine without coercion and only with your expressed consent. I genuinely hope for those who have already received the vaccine that itContinue reading “Authoritarian parallels with historical maritime law exposed by independent”
Independent addresses COVID challenges as government handling faces criticism
The general direction the Johnson government has taken with COVID has been very unsuitable. It was claimed in March 2020 that the aim of the lockdown policy was to protect the NHS. It was implied that lives would be saved as a result of protecting the NHS, though it was never specified how many couldContinue reading “Independent addresses COVID challenges as government handling faces criticism”
Analysis of ONS COVID statistics for 2020 provided by independent
The provisional full year ONS statistics for deaths registered weekly in England and Wales have been released (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales). It is worth noting that the Analysis spreadsheet in the dataset mentions that the statistics include instances ‘where COVID-19 or suspected COVID-19 was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, including in combination with other health conditions’; thisContinue reading “Analysis of ONS COVID statistics for 2020 provided by independent”
