‘The Government Ruined Our Lives’: British Student Blasts COVID Abuse
Townhall.com ^ | 20 Janurary A.D. 2022 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 01/20/2022 3:13:52 PM PST by lightman

Yesterday British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced all Wuhan coronavirus restrictions, including masks and vaccine passports, will be eliminated next week. The British people are now able to live their lives freely and make decisions for themselves about how to mitigate the risks of the virus.

"We will trust the judgement of the British people and no longer criminalize those who choose not to wear [a mask]," Johnson said.

Responding to the news, student and political commentator Sophie Corcoran broke down in tears as she detailed the rampant abuse the government inflicted on young people and children over the past two years.

"The damage that they have done to my generation has been unbelievable," Corcoran said. "I literally watched my future crumble in front of my eyes."

"This makes me so angry. They literally ruined our lives and nobody spoke about it at all. The commentators, they had union reps come on and say this is what the schools should do and they didn't care about what this did to us. This is the first time I've spoken about it on TV because I knew that I'd cry about it but I literally watched and felt like my entire life was falling apart because of what this government did to young people and nobody cares. Not one person has cared about children in this pandemic."

While the UK is lifting restrictions, President Joe Biden is sending Americans masks through the mail and mayors in a number of cities have instituted vaccine passports for restaurants, gyms and events. School districts across the country are forcing children to wear masks for 8-hours a day. Some districts are now requiring N95 masks be worn. Colleges are forcing healthy and young students to be vaccinated, even if classes are remote.

How convenient Boris only does this after he was caught for having hosted cocktail parties during the height of their lockdowns.

The "elites" partied without masks or social distancing, laughing at the peasants they put out of work and forced to wear masks, get shots, and social distance from each other.

Nuremberg II is coming.

People in England will no longer be legally required to wear face masks from next week, although they will still be recommended in some settings.

The change is part of the prime minister’s wider announcement to end Plan B coronavirus measures in England.

How are the rules changing in England?

From Today, Thursday 20 January, face masks will no longer be required in secondary school classrooms, and the Department for Education will shortly remove guidance on their use in communal areas.

Face coverings will not be legally required in any setting

From Thursday 27 January:
The government “recommends” that people wear face coverings in enclosed or private spaces, but this will be a personal judgement.

One day I predict ....that young people everywhere will rise up against this abuse and condemn the powers that be for this nonsense — their parents included.

I can imagine that the hand wringers are out in force on British TV news programs blasting this decision.

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!

I heard a law prof from George Mason University discussing the lockdowns on the Dennis Prager show yesterday. He said there was NO provisions for lengthy lockdown orders, other than perhaps short term “snow days,” in any planning scenarios prior to COVID-19. Not even for an honest to goodness repeat of the Spanish flu.

At the height of the Spanish Influenza many east coast cities shut down by LOCAL order, not statewide mandate, for at most three to four WEEKS.

So needs to be heard far and wide ....the rage so many of us feel. We saw dissent stiffed in an almost unprecedented way.

Nuremberg I had the endorsement of the people in power. We the people are not in power, and the people we elect are geldings or leftists.
I do think we’ll move on, but Fauci and his gang will suffer the fate of Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden. He’ll flourish.

Bless her heart. I cry when angry as well. That’s about stage 2.

I’m pretty long-suffering. But when I’ve had enough...stage 3 can get pretty ugly.

I won’t be pushed into a corner.

Stay strong, young lass! Many people have your back!

If this has made the younger generation cynical of governments and quazi-governments and distrustful of their solutions it is a good thing as long as they don't latch onto the stupid idea of "we can do it the right way THIS time".

You are not that smart. Nobody is that smart, that self sacrificing or that pure that they can not use power in a destructive way.

So the best thing to do is make sure all "Big" is kept small and with limited power.

Sure you are going to have some people who are going to do bad or stupid things but they all together will do less harm then one single over powered bureaucrat.

‘The Government Ruined Our Lives’

Do not let them do it ever again, young lady. The future is in your hands.

There are those who are going to suffer for the rest of their lives from myocarditis, pericarditis, etc. as well as those who lost loved ones. They're not going to rest until every one of the criminals is brought up before Nuremberg II.

Some of the guilty are going to ask for the tribunal as well because otherwise they'll spend the rest of their lives looking over their shoulder.

"President Joe Biden is sending Americans masks through the mail and mayors in a number of cities have instituted vaccine passports for restaurants, gyms and events."

And yet England, Sweden, and Brazil? have dropped all restrictions. It's become obvious that Fauxi and his followers are furthering this nonsense for money and power. There is NO other explanation. And the supposedly freest nation in the world allows them to continue the charade.

My gawd, what has America become? Rhetorical question.

He did the right thing for a bad reason. OK. At least he finally did the right thing.
