“Air pollution INCREASES in Glasgow Low Emission Zone since rules enforced”

Seriously?!

So we have:

“Low Emission Zones” that *worsen* emissions?

“Low Traffic Neighbourhoods” that *increase* traffic?

Scrap the lot subject to local referendum

"Why did first lockdown endure beyond 3 weeks?
Why were lockdown sceptics shut down?
Why no proper impact assessments of costs of lockdowns?
Was lockdown actually necessary at all; countries like Sweden didn’t do it?"

All excellent questions
Will Covid Inquiry ask a single one, and if not, why not?

Neither Govt nor third parties have any right to dictate how we spend our money

The very idea of “programmable” currency is not one that should be entertained

WHO Treaty: "Resources should not disproportionately be promoting measures to 'stop' pandemics, which are not only rare but when they do come, affect far fewer people (than endemic diseases like) tuberculosis or ordinary flu"

But World Health Organization's proposed "pandemic treaty" demands UK give them:

5% of our entire health budget

+ Undisclosed % of GDP

+ More as and when they call "emergency"
