Delay the National lockdown start date by just one week

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

To test independently and challenge the data relied on by Government to make national lockdown decision which so many ‘scientists’ are challenging as significantly overstated; and

4 to allow proper debate of non-covid health, economic consequences and civil unrest/disobedience
Because shutting down large parts of the country where the numbers of covid deaths and hospitalisation are insignificant is complete madness
