Horrors of the plandemic: Bristol lockdown sceptics Kate, Julie, and Delia join Tony

Kate, Julie, and Delia – anti lockdown campaigners who plan to attend tomorrow's 'unlawful' demonstration on College Green in Bristol – join Tony. The proposed Covid-19 vaccine; protests banned during lockdown; Prof Allyson Pollock, Professor of Public Health at Newcastle University, on BBC, about how flawed PCR testing doesn’t work; The whole approach to testing in the UK is wrong-headed, says Allyson Pollock, clinical professor of public health at Newcastle University. “It’s just a chaotic mess,” she says. Aiming to test hundreds of thousands of people in the next few months, including many who are not actually showing symptoms, is, in her words, “mad”. “What we should be doing is reintegrating testing into the health service and focusing on getting the symptomatic people tested and diagnosed, and getting that right,” she adds. The concerns expressed by Deeks and Pollock also apply to the recently revealed Operation Moonshot programme, in which the UK would aim to test up to ten million people every day from early next year. Such a scheme would be hampered by large numbers of false positives and much of it would have no sound precedent in public health, they argue. Meanwhile, the number of positive Covid-19 cases detected in the UK every day is rising sharply. Even if the true number of cases is below the modelled estimates of how many there were back in April, the worry is that the UK is now entering a second spike of contagion – without a testing programme that is fit for purpose.

All these the subject of tomorrow's banned demonstration on College Green which the police have banned as 'unlawful'. Policing plan in place for unlawful protest due to be held in Bristol Organisers of an anti-lockdown protest in Bristol have confirmed their intention for it go ahead this weekend despite firm warnings they will be breaking the law. Current coronavirus regulations prohibit gatherings of more than two people and while there are certain exemptions, protests are not allowed. Officers have been engaging with Stand Up Bristol, the organisers of Saturday’s event, to explain the rules and to encourage them to postpone it. However, they have informed us the demonstration will continue as planned with participants expected to gather on College Green at 12pm before marching through the city. By law, anyone organising or facilitating a gathering of more than 30 people is liable to a fixed penalty notice of £10,000 while those participating in a gathering of more than two people can be fined £200. Chief Inspector Mark Runacres said: “We fully recognise the important right to freedom of expression and right to assemble but there is a deadly virus which has killed more than 50,000 people in the UK which simply cannot be ignored. “The Government has passed legislation for a reason which is to prevent further loss of life and we have a legal and moral duty to uphold these laws. “Officers have spoken with Stand Up Bristol about Saturday’s protest and have made every effort to explain the situation which makes it even more disappointing that they continue to press ahead with their plans.” He added: “We remain hopeful the event will still be postponed but would like to reassure the public a comprehensive policing plan has been put place should it go ahead. “In the event of an unlawful gathering officers will take the same approach to policing the regulations as they have done throughout the pandemic and look to encourage people to go home in the first instance. However, should anyone fail to disperse we will look to proactively take enforcement action which could mean they receive a fine or get arrested.
