The ONS mortality report this morning showed that in the week ending February 26th (week 8) deaths registered in England and Wales were 9.2% above the five-year average (1,066 deaths higher).
However, drilling down into the data it becomes clear that perhaps all of those excess deaths this week are deaths caused by the lockdown not by the virus, primarily denial of healthcare.
Deaths in care homes were down to 12.6% below the five-year average (334 deaths) (down from 1.1% above the previous week). Deaths in hospitals were slightly above the five-year average at 5% (275 deaths).
Deaths in private homes on the other hand were still a huge 44.2% above the five-year average (1,147 excess deaths). There were 238 deaths involving COVID-19, leaving 909 non-Covid excess deaths (if we make the generous assumptions that all Covid deaths are excess). That’s nearly 80%.
As can be seen in the above graph, excess deaths at home have remained well above average all year and at a relatively constant rate – a sign they are not just misattributed Covid deaths. There have been 50,810 excess deaths at home since the pandemic began a year ago. 7,056 home deaths have been registered with COVID-19, leaving 43,754 non-Covid (assuming all Covid deaths are excess) and still rising at over 1,000 each week with little sign of falling off.
The UK has had, and still has, one of the strictest lockdowns in the world, and an NHS waiting list of millions to show for it as people have stayed away from hospital to “protect the NHS” and out of fear of catching Covid. The most immediate cost of this can be seen in non-Covid excess deaths from denial of healthcare, especially at home – over 43,000 and counting by this estimate (though some of these will be transfer deaths that would ordinarily have occurred in hospital). Lockdowners claim that this is a fraction of the death toll that would result from not imposing restrictions. But when places like Sweden and Florida don’t impose lockdowns and see fewer, not more, Covid deaths per million, it is very hard to credit that, whatever the models might say.
And if lockdowns don’t save lives, then what are we left with? Just tens of thousands of deaths caused by reckless Government interventions. That’s the real horror story of the past year.

A friend of mine, total bedwetter, just visited. Told me his Dad had died last Aug following a coughing fit brought on by a PCR test!

At least it wasnt Covid though another life saved almost
To all complicit in this:
You Evil, Evil, Fuckin Bastards.
Put O’Leary on the criminals list.
God Almighty.
Comments very unsympathetic – top rated include “You made the choice to take your child, with numerous mental health issues abroad during a pandemic. The fact that your child is having a meltdown, whilst staff try to do the job they have been ordered to do by the government, is entirely your doing.”
“So sorry for the little man but, what if he was carrying the virus, everyone on the flight would be at risk, The rules are quite clear, if the parents didn’t want him testing then they shouldn’t take him away. It’s the same with the mask wearing, if a store says your wear a mask then that’s the rule if you cannot for any reason …tough get someone to do your shopping.”
“So now you are telling me some people can get an exemption to covid tests. I’m sorry that’s not acceptable. Nobody likes the test, and yes it’s distressing for everyone. If he is unable to take the test then he shouldn’t be doing anything that requires it. I guess he also isn’t wearing a mask and isn’t vaccinated. What about the health of the other passengers Maybe we should all ask for covid test exemptions.”
Still the mentality that if anyone on a plane tests positive then everyone else WILL get infected and most likely die .
and the bed-wetting fucktards never stop to consider that he and anyone else they come into contact with might actually have something that really will kill them.
During a ‘pandemic’ they say. What is a pandemic? 1000 cases? If it is Prison Island downunder, apparently just ‘one’ case is a pandemic.
Just following orders they say! Just a little swab. Just another month. Just a qurantine camp. Just a train journey..
God, but.some people are vile.
Yes, nasty little authoritarian types.
Bollocks!
So what if he was carrying ‘the virus’? Its a 99.98% recovery. The ‘tests’ are NOT fit for purpose and he has more chance of getting bacterial pneumonia from wearing a filthy muzzle over his mouth.
Cancer tumours grow from breathing in your own carbon dioxide as they are anaerobic and thrive is moist mouldy conditions…
I will continue to shop without a mask, I will never be jabbed with an untested gene therapy and no one will ever shove a toxic stick into my brain…searching for….? Oh a brain!
I am slim, with no medical issues and enjoy robust good health.
Continue testing for an unidentified virus and while you’re at it…check the grave yard to see if you are still alive…!
I am shocked by people’s lack of basic health intelligence.
The big problem is that what people are told is healthy isn’t, and vice versa. Grains and “vegetable” oil good, meat and fat bad. Not working too well is it?
Do you just appear on here to wind people up.Actually think how bad this has REALLY been in the last 12 months .No one i know has had covid beyond a few people i work with who would have a bad cold 2 years ago (remember those).This is a sceptical forum really so run along !!
Sorry but what has everybody who ever might have caught a bug or virus since 19fucking 60 done about it .They have lived with it and not become obsessed with infecting ar being infected with the most hyped illness ever .Its a fucking pretend virus that our pretend government have had to market like nothing ever before because its so fucking shaky .What was the point of making this boy have a test .We are not here tp protect the other half of the world from catching a cold Jesus what has happened to people MORONS .People are definetely dying of cancer,anuerisms ,renal failiure,heart failiure they are not definetely dying of this knocked up phoney make it up as you go along virus unless you can put within 28 days of a positive test on the death certificate of someone who died horribly of pancreatic cancer This is over becasue its time for it to be over .It has been an experiment in finding out how piss weak the resolve of the British people has been But that kid should stop whining though right ????
You nasty minded little bastard.
In the current frenzied climate caused by our massively corrupted governments, why on earth do adults put children through this sort of nonsense, simply for a holiday on the Costa del Plonkers? Totally insanity.
A small number of airlines have long deserved to go out of business, but the rumour is that they keep going on money coming from some very peculiar sources, which is presumably in return for the equally dubious services that they provide.
This situation is bringing out the very worst in the authoritarians.
That’s what totalitarianism does: finds the very worst people, brings out the very worst in them, and puts them in authority over you. From the little Hitler at the supermarket entrance, all the way down to the big bag of Hitlerian blubber in Number 10.
There are no exemptions in Spain. No exemption for not wearing a facemask either.
Doctors cannot write them, so the whole country is ………
Thank God for Nelson and Wellington…
Franco lives?
I doubt even this sort of thing will get society to snap out of its current psychosis.
In our society’s eyes covid is so dangerous that even the torture of children is justified.
Psychosis, plain and simple.
Diabolical psychosis.
The New Civilisation, with stupidity, dishonesty, greed and cruelty the defining characteristics.
Wunderbar!
Didn’t they try a similar thing in the ancient civilisation of Sodom and Gomorrah?
This was cruel and despicable of the airline. But it is happening globally in different settings now more and more. I can see a grim near future for the unvaccinated and all dissenters. But we have to stick together and risk persecution for freedom and the truth.
My suggestion, start buying boats. Even if the bay of biscay between England and Spain can be nasty one could always shadow the French coast then cut across the channcel where it is narrow. We can give the whole idiotic system of borders the contempt they deserve. No more customs, no more security rubbish, no more queuing!
The staff who assaulted him need to loose their jobs, and the scum who ever decided that these invasive tests should be forced at borders need jail sentences.
that ‘s what i w as thinking , boats ! learn to sail . i agree with everything you wrote here.
been quite an education the past 18 months, how large portions of a society showered in fear can completely lose their moral compass. It’s not over by a long shot either. I’m waiting for the strong men to appear, the politicians and media pundits ready to draw these monsters to their cause. History doesn’t repeat…..
Can’t bring myself to watch the video… Fuck them forever
Mengele lives. What more to say?
Even the exemptions are not exempt. We have to redefine the word exemtion.
Honestly though, if they’re not exempt from a test, how long before no one is exempt from vaccinations? I really hope it wouldn’t come to this point.
Its just the “keep testing keep publishing cases morinic mantra that the British public have come to love and trust
“The health and safety of our passengers and crew prioritised”.
Ah, so they will ensure their pilots don’t have the Covid “vaccines”, which cause dangerous side effects.
Anything being rammed up the nose is more of a danger to safety and health than even a symptomatic covid carrier is now that all the vulnerable are vaxxed, and for the most part was more dangerous than covid before we had vaccines too.
well he was a passenger wasnt he ???
This is bloody shameful. all that stress and trauma inflicted on that child for a meaningless test. Its a total disgrace.

Sad story. We should be full of sympathy for this poor kid.
What a wonderful opportunity to do a bit of Paddy bashing of the English media’s favourite whipping boy – Micheal O’Leary. You know the modern day Freddie Laker who brough cheap air travel to us disgusting unwashed.
Would not a better headline be Boris Corby and his Spanish counterpart be
“British and Spanish Government’s apologise for stupid rules imposed on autistic child”
No didn’t think so.
Are all those bedwetting Lockdown Extremists who are responsible for this state of affairs proud of themselves, I wonder?
I am sure they are. They invoke Covid as their moral permission to do what they know to be immoral. They have convinced themselves that their cause is noble. It’s the same psychology that gave saintly people moral permission to persecute “witches” and inflict terrible pain and death.
It is remarkable how many people know so much of this is wrong but have slipped into a moral justification so easily because its governmet endorsed, as if they will get some sort of reward for being stupid and horrible . They will want the same things as the rest of us eventuaully then they will turn like vipers on the very government they are cheerleading.
YES
Isn’t it great what our leaders have reduced us to? How proud we should all be of ourselves whats a bit of child abuse and pain as long as the Government is happy in the knowledge that there isn’t anything we wouldn’t do at their request in the name of the great God Covid.
Its because of Covid (copy and paste)
Revolting as this is, let’s not be diverted by blaming the parents, the airline or the useful idiots doing the tests. This is an inevitable consequence of the hysterical policies of governments determined to create conflict. The only way to avoid it is never to leave home for anything.
Surely this shows what an intrusive test this is. There has been talk all through of a potential saliva test or similar and nothing has appeared. Yet people are having these intrusive stick up nose and choking at back of mouth things in the millions without a murmur. I have never performed it myself and have no wish to (having a divided septum it would not be without its risks) but I can imagine what an awful experience it is for anybody, dyslexic or not.
despicable ! the poor kid !
my thought was could the parents refuse to fly hire a boat instead but is hard to think of alternative s on the spot we need to be prepared ,absolutely despicable what the airline did, he had an exemption we all must refuse . the ‘ tests’ are an invasion
the poor kid ! and the parents were so good to get him away for a break
Well, ordinarily I’d be appalled at Ryanair, but in this case…..
The parents chose to fly on holiday (non essential travel), and had a covid test on the way out, including the child.
The parents new the rules and knew he’d also be required to do another test on the way home. So why would anybody take notice of a doctor’s letter if it was not valid for the outbound journey?
The PARENTS filmed and then POSTED the video on social media.
Appalling, showboating behaviour!!
Can i just say in reflection to no one in particular but as a result of events im my home town of Plymouth in the last few days that how pathetic the zeal that these pointless rules are being followed and enforced .After six deaths from the same shotgun belonging to a young man who had struggled to get access to mental help because of Covid (there we go again)its time to acquire some perspective on whats happening in the world /country/town /street etc>The local police force also returned the shotgun to him roughly at the same time as they were patroling Central Park(the Plymouth one) to check on the validity and distance of people excercising.This is not a direct criticicm of them but something very serious has gone wrong which may well remain with us long after we put our Lemsip away
That doesnt cancel this attrocious episode though does it are you on the wrong site ??
If people do not start fighting for themselves and their children this kind of ridiculous thing will continue. Please just start by saying enough is enough. When things do not make sense, you must start asking questions.
Alfred North Whitehead:
I have to question the parents in this because not only did they allow their son to suffer this trauma in Valencia they allowed it to happen in Britain to get to Valencia. What kid of parent does that? I know I would have flat refused and in Britain I’d have been straight onto my MP and the press. In Valencia the British Embassy, Reuters and British press. I’d also be plastering the story via family at home all across social media. Under no circumstances would they have been allowed to test my child.
