The number of excess deaths in England and Wales has fallen below zero for the first time in six months, according to ONS data.
The ONS reports:
The provisional number of deaths registered in England and Wales decreased from 11,592 in Week 9 (week ending March 5th 2021) to 10,987 in Week 10 (week ending March 12th 2021). The number of deaths was 4.4% below the five-year average (511 deaths fewer).
In England, the number of deaths decreased from 10,882 in Week 9 to 10,277 in Week 10, which was 468 deaths (4.4%) fewer than the Week 10 five-year average. This is the first time that deaths have been lower than the five-year average in England since the week ending September 4th 2020 (Week 36).
In Wales, the number of deaths decreased from 689 in Week 9 to 685 in Week 10, which was 35 deaths (4.9%) fewer than the Week 10 five-year average. This is the second consecutive week deaths have been lower than the five-year average in Wales.
Given this data, and the fact that half of all UK adults have received a Covid vaccine, is it not about time that Britain unlocks?
The ONS’ findings are worth reading in full.

To Mark Steyn ———-Thankyou mate. I appreciate everything you did on GB news. You are one of the few Investigative journalists left that goes where the story takes you, and for that you are to be REMOVED. ——-I read your “Disgrace to the Profession” book on the pseudo scientific fraud called Climate Change some years ago. Hold your head up high mate and if I could afford it, I would pay your alleged 40 thousand quid fine myself.
Katie Hopkins (love her or hate her), has an interesting, insider take her a week old, 10 minute YouTube monologue on the GB News/Mark Steyn affair.
The Mark Steyn business reminds me a bit of Steven Crowder and The Daily Wire… It seems there’s a bit of a bloodbath going on in the right wing commentariat at the moment.
Nothing to do with Ofcom but I read that James O’Keefe has been ousted from Project Veritas after his Pfizer sting video. It seems the establishment is pushing back on anyone who tells the truth or who exposes the malfeasance and corruption at high levels
The discussion included capital punishment snd it was observed that the state killed people through military action so in-principle objections to the state killing people was diluted thereby.
of more relevance is state authorised killing its own citizens or peaceable residents. Examples include firearms police officers executing suspects (eg a Brazilian plumber in London); abortions without due medical process as required by law and failing to investigate particular crimes for political reasons (eg drug pushing and grooming gangs).
more significant numbers of our fellow citizens die because the state releases proven dangerous men (mainly men) before their given sentences have been served in the knowledge that a large number will reoffend to deadly effect. This is state authorised killing in a scale far in excess of potential capital offences deaths.
also discussed was euthanasia. An American academic has proposed the state should make this lawful then encourage it to reduce the cost of elderly care. It would not be long before the age was reduced and some relatives put pressure on older family members to get out of their lives.
we should not go down that route but if we were ever to do so I propose that the age should be ten years younger for current snd former MPs, Councillors and those sentenced to more than (say) five years imprisonment at any time, the better to get rid of tge least valued first.
Sadly far too many abortions are like this, probably the vast majority. If the state are going to legislate for the killing of children (and I believe they absolutely shouldn’t) they should at least police it rigorously so these abuses don’t happen.
I suspect that this is where we are headed with euthanasia, and the pressure is only likely to intensify with the demographic crisis of an ageing population as a result of all those children being killed (mostly without due process). Dark times indeed for the most vulnerable.
