Fearful Britain: 79 Per Cent Feel Some Degree of Nervousness About End of Lockdown
Breitbart ^ | 07/09/2021 | Victoria Friedman

Posted on 07/09/2021 7:56:25 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A combined 79 per cent of Britons have admitted that they feel some level of nervousness about the end of lockdown this month, in another poll pointing to Britons living in a state of fear over the Chinese coronavirus.

The YouGov poll taken on Thursday found that more than one in five — 21 per cent — said they felt “very nervous” about COVID-19 restrictions lifting. A further 34 per cent felt “fairly nervous” and 24 per cent “not very nervous”, making a combined 79 per cent expressing some form of nerves over the end of lockdown. Just 21 per cent said they were “not nervous at all” (with two per cent responding “don’t know”).

I have said this before. Brits fought hard against the nazis carpet bombing London but are scared to end lockdowns and masks. Demented.

How did the Brits survive the Blitzkrieg?

What a bunch of pansies!

Yet another fake, agenda driven, fear porn “poll”.
If the British are so fear stricken over the end of lockdowns, how come the British were out in their tens of millions in pubs, at Wembley Stadium etc, almost all with NO MASKS, NO SOCIAL DISTANCING, to watch England beat Germany then Denmark in the Euro 2020 just in the past 10 days?

Yeah...they should rename that country the Orwell Kingdom. It’s like they all read 1984 in school and think it’s a great idea. Ask them! I totally get Churchill’s quote about the best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average citizen. He should have stressed “British” citizen!

Maybe, but it’s totally believable.

There is nothing believable about it.

It’s like they are in competition with Canada to see who can first make Orwell’s predictions come true!

So I am not still seeing idiots wearing masks jogging and riding bicycles. That’s my imagination?

He said "voter", not "citizen".

I believe Brits are still technically "subjects" anyway.

Agreed. They see through it all now and are demanding a return to normalcy. The protests in London were massive.

What is troubling is the continued effort by the state to push fear.

Even at the Euro soccer tournament (Wembly Stadium, London) they manipulated the seating. They made sure that the side of the stadium that cameras would show was almost empty, while the other side of the stadium was packed, every seat filled with nobody wearing masks. People made videos showing the insanity.

It certainly gives the impression for those at home that they’re still in pandemic mode. This kind of manipulation is truly disturbing. It really makes one wonder about just how much of a delta there can be between perception and reality. The British are very good at it. It’s been interesting seeing the different policies around the world and what the messaging is. Apparently Canada is still acting as though little has changed, Australia is even worse.

Where did you see them at?
I haven’t seen anyone wearing a mask and cycling r jogging for over a year.
And what part of Britain do you live at then?
And where were you when England was playing Denmark in the Euro 2020 semis just a couple of nights ago?

We shall cower on the beaches, we shall cower on the landing grounds and in the streets. We shall cower in the hills. We shall ever surrender!

Three or four generations and this is what Britain has become. Sad to watch.

The thing is, watch the video the other night from Picadilly Square after England beat Denmark, it was packed with very few people wearing masks.

The capacity of Wembley is 90,000. They limited it to 60,000 because of covid for the Denmark match and still had about 65,000 in attendance.
There were hardly any masks and no social distancing.

Same at Trafalgar Square. The English fans went wild. No masks. No social distancing.
