What a farce!

While the Government’s vaccination programme has been a resounding success, the on/off lockdown has turned into a farce.

it’s become obvious that new strains of Covid will continue to appear. if we go into lockdown each time a new one arrives, then we could be doing this for years.

the time has now come for us to put our trust in the vaccines and get back to normality.

JOHN CLAPP, Pershore, Worcs. sir Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench tory 1922 Committee, has called on the Government to lift all restrictions and treat us all like adults. Well, sir Graham, there are too many people out there who behave as though there is no such thing as Covid.
