A Lockdown Sceptics reader has written to tell us about an unfortunate experience she had with NHS Test and Trace when her deceased husband tested positive for Covid.
On March 17th, my partner died suddenly and unexpectedly. We are still waiting to find out the cause of death, but early indications are some sort of heart problem which no one knew about. Naturally this has been a shock to all of us.
A few days after the event, I received a phone call from a young lady representing NHS Test and Trace who told me that I had been identified as a contact of someone who had tested positive for COVID-19 and that I needed to self-isolate for 10 days. She named my partner as the contact. When I asked where the information had come from, she didn’t know how his name had got onto the database and when I explained that he had died, she didn’t know that either. I know that he had never had a COVID-19 test as he worked from home, so I can only assume that the test was carried out post mortem.
The young lady was very apologetic and embarrassed and, to her credit, didn’t press me further about matters. I really don’t want to blame her for doing her job, but you’d think a bit of context might be helpful for people doing this job.
Inevitably, COVID-19 has been mentioned as a contributing factor on the preliminary report. We won’t know any more now until after Easter, but we owe it to him to find out what took him from us. Whatever it was, he didn’t die of COVID-19 and I find it highly unlikely that he even had it, given that I have to be tested when I go to work (only occasional work and no positive tests to date) and he hadn’t been anywhere. Despite our scepticism, we have kept to the guidance, mainly because all of our hobbies which took us out of the house to meet others have been on pause for the past year. He was a lockdown sceptic from the get-go, and I know he would be incandescent that his death would be recorded as a COVID-19 statistic. I do, however, regard his death as a casualty of lockdown. Perhaps the post mortem will tell us that he had a condition which would have taken him from us sooner than expected, but this wicked and pointless lockdown policy stole the last year of his life and deprived him of the things which gave him so much pleasure in life.
I am beyond angry about how our media and political classes have treated us and so disappointed by the way the people of this country have colluded with them through complacency. Thank you for all the work you do in exposing this dreadful state of affairs.

And what about the Police taking the knee for BLM
The UK police officers are considered servants of the Crown and holders of the Office of Constable, not employees. This means they are not employed by the police force, but rather appointed by the Crown. The uniform, while standardized, can vary slightly by force and is subject to local policies. Crown-related symbolism, like the Tudor Crown, is also incorporated into police crests and insignia. The Police wear the Crown and they submitted the Crown to a Marxist mob that rioted and also desecrated the Cenotaph.
What about Starmer and Rayner taking the knee for a known criminal, our politicians are detestable.
Yes. That was treason.
An individual belonging to a protected category victim-group complaining about police impartiality surrounding a different protected category victim-group. The system will uphold the complaint. It has successfully dismantled the old normal and now works towards dismantling the new normal. The introduction of a new society requires complete destruction of the old society, which requires division – the more division the quicker the new society will be installed.
METROPOLITAN POLICE FOR THE NEXT CASE PLEASE
This is undoubtedly excellent news, not just for Linzi personally, but for all of the decent LGB community who wish to rightly distance themselves from the toxic, degenerate mental illness ideology that the TQ+ lot represent, for women standing up for their sex-based rights and for free speech in general. Only the biggest cynics wouldn’t see this for the win that it is. Now this needs to be implemented across ALL police forces in the country because none of them should be participating or showing support for this dangerous and perverse child mutilation cult which provably harbours sex pests and paedos;
”High Court Rules Northumbria Police BANNED from Pride Festivals!
Huge congratulations to We Are Fair Cop and @RightNUFC for their tireless efforts in pushing for this change!
In a landmark decision, the High Court has ruled that Northumbria Police can no longer participate in Pride festivals, citing concerns over the politicisation of law enforcement.
This is a MAJOR win for police neutrality!
For too long, police involvement in Pride events has sparked debate. While some see it as a gesture of inclusivity, others argue Pride’s political undertones compromise police impartiality. The court agrees: law enforcement must stay neutral, avoiding alignment with any social or political cause.
This ruling prohibits Northumbria Police from marching in Pride parades, displaying Pride symbols on uniforms/vehicles, or officially endorsing these events. It’s a clear message: police should focus on public safety, not activism.
Their campaign highlights the importance of keeping our police force impartial and accountable.
What’s next? This could set a precedent for other UK police forces, prompting a rethink of how they engage with community events. The decision may spark broader discussions about the role of Pride and the balance between celebration and politics.”

I’m surprised so many gay and lesbian people still seem to associate with pride now it’s almost exclusively focused on transgender rights which are often anti gay/lesbian. One example is the fact that quite a few gay/lesbian young people go through a phase of thinking they might be trans as they realise and come to accept that they’re same sex attracted. The trans activists rush to confirm these youngsters temporary trans beliefs and push them onto a path to puberty blockers, surgical mutilation, loss of pleasure in sex etc. rather than letting then grow out of their trans beliefs and become happy same sex attracted adults.
All reasonable gays/lesbians should abandon pride and join the LGB Alliance.
Do you know what the best thing would be? And it’d be a test to see who’s really bothered about attending this crapfest because they’re bound to whinge the loudest, and I can take a confident stab at who that’d be…
Do a Viktor Orban and ban the entire thing. I’d gladly see the back of it.
But I think we can safely say that’ll never happen in this part of Europe, and we all know why. This lot ( much like the Muslims ) wield too much power now and must be appeased and pandered to, no matter what. This toxic ideology has got it’s feet firmly under the table and isn’t going anywhere. I doubt even Farage would have the balls to do a Trump or Orban and risk upsetting the transmafia.
Just a bit of supporting evidence to my above post;
“Keir Starmer has hosted a ‘Pride Reception’ in Downing Street.
Speakers included men in dresses identifying as women.
He committed to hosting a ‘LGBTQIA+ Roundtable’.
One attendee said that Starmer has “real understanding of the challenges queer people face”.
Worrying.”

I’m sure the Muslim Party will sort it out when they hold the reins of power.
A great win. And now let us have who made the decision to take part either fired or demoted to a PC.
It was the chief constable who ordered her force to take part. She writes articles about how proud she is to be a lez. Thank goodness there are sensible homosexusls to rein in the exhibitionists.
