In April 2020, Mike Robinson of [[UKC News]] and [[Patrick Henningsen]] of [[21st Century Wire]] provided the latest [[COVID-19|Coronavirus]] updates raising a number of issues: :Was the [[COVID-19/Lockdown|‘Lockdown’]] justified? :On what basis were such risky policy decisions taken? They argued that "New data seems to suggest that not only was it not justified, but [[COVID-19/Lockdown|'Lockdown']] policies appear to be driving-up casualty numbers. While the [[US]] and its allies attempt to blame [[China]] for the coronavirus and all of the economic damage suffered from the West’s lockdown policies, incredibly, the [[US]], [[UK]], [[Spain]] and others seem to be emulating all of [[China]]’s grandiose and authoritarian reactions and measures to [[COVID-19/Pandemic|‘tackle the pandemic’]]. Also, the UK government has tasked the [[British Army]]’s online troll division, [[77th Brigade]], to try and ‘influence’ the public conversation on social media back in favour of Central Government. Again, the Western powers continue to copy [[China]]’s model of state-sponsored [[censorship]]."<ref>''[https://21stcenturywire.com/2020/04/24/ukc-news-have-lockdown-policies-caused-more-casualties-than-it-saved/ "UKC News: Are ‘Lockdown’ Policies Increasing Casualties Numbers?"]''</ref> {{SMWDocs}} ==References== {{reflist}} o6x26mkede4jkwqilpiz3tuwz1uumbf
