More than half of the U.K. population has now had the first dose of a Covid vaccine, according to Government figures. Data shows that the number having received their second dose is nearing the 12 million mark, strengthening the case for the lockdown to come to an end. Despite this, the dominant Government narrative suggests that the current phase of lockdown could be in place for more time than has been anticipated in the roadmap, not less. Metro has the story.
Out of the country’s 66,650,000 people, 33,388,637 have received the jab, according to Department of Health figures released today.
A total of 11,623,671 have received their second shot, equating to 17.4% of the entire population.
The total number of vaccinations given in the U.K. now stands at 45,012,308.
Only people aged 16 and over are currently able to get the jab, meaning the proportion of the eligible population to be immunised is even higher.
Today’s update from the Government revealed another 40 people have died within 28 days of testing positive for the virus, falling by more than a third in a fortnight.
Data from the Office for National Statistics shows weekly infections in England dropped by a fifth last week to 90,000, despite the reopening of pubs and restaurants.

The politics of energy austerity will soon get very ugly…

“…The expansion of energy and wealth can lead to complacency and we collectively forget what it was that allowed us to create the most prosperous society the world has ever known. Bad ideas like Malthusianism flourish and luxury beliefs that undermine the very principles on which society was built begin to take over.”
And the parasites gorge off this folly.
Great article. DV does not like to be crossed, even with his own balance sheet. I hope Ticeman and the gang make life impossible for him in Lincolnshire.
If Lincolnshire succeed, others will follow.
Richard Tice has thrown down the gauntlet and Reform have to pick up the fight swiftly. Putting a stop to the destruction of Lincolnshire, the vegetable garden of England, would provide a massive boost to the anti nut zero movement and be a powerful message to Kneel’s mob.
Nutard zero has nothing to do with tender Gaia and a lot to do with money, kickbacks and wealth accretion. I personally saw this in action at a (very hastily) implemented solar panel ‘farm’ which desecrated rich farmland. I have on record civil servants telling me about the kickbacks of those involved. I talked to landowners basically forced to sell or else. The entire process was rush-rush, the fake consultations etc etc. If you had wanted to build a factory, it would have taken many years to get the requisite sign offs. Not so with the solar farms. It is all a fraud.
Dale Vince doesn’t look like someone you want to share a pint with down the pub.
Well he is a vegan.

Talking of ignorant twats, Jim Dale is another who makes the false claim that oil and receive subsidies as opposed to a reduction in their taxation theft. Mind you the ideology of the Far Left is that everything you own belongs to the state in the first place. Looking ahead, the EU is introducing a second level Emissions Trading Scheme – ETS2 – that will absolutely hammer the people as unlike the existing ETS on industry this one will be on everyday living. 2027 will be an interesting year if the EU proceed with ETS2.
The Jim Dale I remember was funny 😂 . “Carry On” 😉
The Oil & Gas companies cannot claim tax relief on expenses in the same tax year as the revenue because the expenses accrue many years before the revenue appears, hence their different tax arrangements.
So is he saying here that he doesn’t want (or currently take) any subsidy payments in any form? – if so that’s great, we can switch them off right now, and he can continue to run his business (which will fold shortly afterwards)…
I wonder how much local government can stop national governments plans?
If they can, it will be a very interesting few years…
Step 1 is creating public awareness of the tragedy occurring.
Cornwall is blighted with wind turbines and agricultural land covered in solar panels and Reform has won more seats than any other party in the council. Unfortunately the other parties are vowing to work together and vote against them as a bloc. I doubt they can save the county from more ecologically damaging eyesores. Surely it’s the same position in every county?
