France is bringing forward the lifting of a nationwide curfew by 10 days amid falling numbers of daily positive Covid tests. Guidelines on mask-wearing are also expected to be eased sooner than expected. The MailOnline has the story.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Jean Castex told a news conference on Wednesday that the night-time curfew would now end from June 20th, and that face masks would soon no longer be required outdoors.
After restaurants, bars and cafes were allowed last week to reopen indoors for the first time in seven months, Castex said life in France was at last starting to return to normal.
“We’re on the right track – let’s keep up our efforts,” Castex said. “The health situation is improving faster than we had anticipated, everywhere in mainland France.” …
The [Delta] variant accounts for the bulk of new infections in Britain, but French Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Tuesday it only represented 2-4% of confirmed cases in France…
Castex said pressure on French hospitals had decreased significantly. The number of people in intensive care units was down by 116 to 1,952 on Tuesday, according to health ministry data.
France’s seven-day moving average of new cases, which was above 40,000 two months ago, stood at 3,500 on Tuesday. French health experts say the pandemic can be considered under control if the rate is below 5,000.

Excellent article by David Craig, full of useful information.
When you look at his estimated cost of £2,500,000,000 to be lavished upon hostile alien men who have abandoned their families to break into Britain and scrounge off British Taxpayers, and compare it to the UK Defence Budget for 2024, you find that the government will fund the Muslim Army by cutting the British Armed Forces budget by £2,200,000,000.
In the old days, there was a word for this. Begins with “T” followed by “reason”.
Something else which is growing, according to statistics, is street crime in London. Much like Johannesburg or Lima, wear that Rolex at your peril. Not great for attracting visitors, really;
”On March 28, Thursday, former England cricket captain Kevin Pietersen took to X to voice his concerns about the staggering rate at which street crimes in London are rising.
Resharing a post by @CrimeLdn, which had posted a video of a recent knife attack on a train in London, the cricketer labelled London as “a disgrace of a place”.
“WTAF is this now in London?!?!?! London was once the most amazing city. It’s an absolute disgrace of a place. • You cannot wear a watch of any value. • you cannot walk around with your phone in your hand. • women get their bags and jewellery ripped off them. • cars get smashed in for a quick smash and grab. • there’s this rubbing in the video below. @SadiqKhan must be really proud of what he’s created?!” Pietersen captioned his post.
Data from Watchfinder & Co. last year revealed that between 2015 and 2022, the number of stolen watches in England and Wales nearly doubled, from 6,696 to 11,035.
More than 6,000 of the thefts in 2022 took place in London.
Rowley is the representative for a region of Westminster Council that is near the Middle Eastern-populated Edgware Road neighbourhood of central London.
The borough is also home to a few of the city’s most wealthy neighbourhoods, renowned retail avenues, and many of the tourist attractions that draw in approximately 4.5 million people annually.
It is, however, also the “most dangerous” area of London, according to the CrimeRate database, with a crime rate that is 215 per cent higher than that of the entire city and 265 per cent higher than that of the entirety of England and Wales.”

The Liberal Progressive virus is spreading across the western world faster than covid on speed. —Symptoms include a slight dizziness at the prospect of punishment or discipline. A brain fog when it comes to attributing blame to individuals for their crimes. Confusion and disorientation by the blaming of society for the behaviour of perpetrators of crime. Vomiting at the prospect of concern for victims. A point-blank refusal to think you need help for your condition.
That clown in the photo and his useless colleagues couldn’t run a bath.
Incompetence > Malice
They don’t become politicians by knowing wtf they’re doing. They become politicians because they don’t know wtf they’re doing.
Remember the Elephant in the room. ———-NET ZERO. ——-Net Zero is a policy designed for growth reversal. It is deigned to lower living standards. It is a policy to restrict growth. The whole idea of Sustainable Development is that the living standards and consumption patterns of populations of the wealthy west are —TOO HIGH. ——Or as Maurice Strong told us some years ago “Isn’t the only way for the planet too survive is if Industrial Society collapses, and isn’t it our responsivity to bring that about”. ——Politicians of both main stream parties speak with FORKED TONGUE.
Stuff the economy.
Let’s say we concrete over the whole country with warehouses. Fill them with cheap immigrant labour. The GDP increases. Large corporates pay their CEOs vast salaries. The tax revenue funds an even bigger administrative state.
So what?
There’s more to our way of life which you can’t price but is being destroyed by Westminster.
The policy settings conducive to high rates of economic growth are well established; low taxation, low regulation, secure property rights, and cheap and reliable supplies of energy. For the past twenty-five years UK governments have followed the opposite policies and predictably growth has slowed and has now ceased. Hunt and Sunak ought to be hanging from lampposts for their part in destroying freedom and prosperity.
I think about 620 lampposts will be needed.
The time-serving useless idiots in the Lords can just be let go.
Now an extra £1.5bn can be added that the prime minister of foreign affairs, Baron Dave of Loserville, has handed to Ukraine. Glory to UKrainia!
I think they’re running a deliberate scorched-earth policy – making it impossible for the incoming Labour Government to do anything differently – even IF it wanted to. Politics is a game to these people: they don’t give a 4X about the devastation they are causing to the lives of “ordinary” people.
