Jill Evans has written to the Covid Inquiry to tell of the terrible impact lockdown had on her life and she encourages other sceptics to do likewise.

"By the latter half of 2022 it seemed we had turned a corner on masks," writes Jill Evans. "Only a deviant minority persisted with wearing them. But as we enter a new year, this return to sanity is under threat."

We are now perhaps emerging blinking into a life without Covid rules and yet the masks and their wearers are still everywhere. The natural world is unchanged, but the human world is still dystopian.
