“Minister denies Johnson said ‘thousands’ more Covid deaths better than lockdown
Wallace’s denials came after the Daily Mail reported an unnamed source as claiming Johnson said at a Downing Street meeting in October: “No more ******* lockdowns – let the bodies pile high in their thousands.”
Ah, that most reliable of things, "an unnamed source".
Look, this is the phrase that the press use to fling mud to see if it sticks. Not sure how long you've been in the UK, but if you still believe crap like that after living here for even a single month, you're incredibly naive.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist
1. It’s completely in character for Boris to say such things
2. It was in line with what he did - trued to avoid lockdown in November and ended up with tens of thousands dead in Jan-Feb
3. The denial isn’t actually a denial - same PoS minister who dissed “unnamed sources” acts as an “unnamed source” from time to time because that’s how wheels of political system works in this country

Aren't you forgetting that lockdowns cause more deaths unrelated to Covid, such as delayed cancer or heart disease detection and treatment, and the longer lockdowns go on the higher this unrelated death rate goes, even as the Covid death rate dwindles to practically nothing.
You also seem to forget that all old timers, and ever increasing numbers of younger people, have had their jabs now. So yes, a third lockdown is not as necessary as the first, and Boris is right to resist calls from ultra-cautious academics who only look at the Covid aspect.

That was discussed and explained to the likes of you many times now.
