#LockdownVoices

"Lockdown ended my 20 year career… a colleague committed suicide and I’m now on anti-depressants."

"Lockdown effectively ended my 20 year career as a nightclub DJ.

A colleague from one of my venues committed suicide shortly after we went into lockdown.
"As a result of not being able to do my job I spiralled down and eventually had a mental breakdown. I’m now on anti-depressants which are helping me cope.

I’m fortunate to have a stable income from another source or I probably wouldn’t still be here.
"This week I’ve had a friend get to the same stage of wanting to commit suicide.

Lockdown is quite literally killing us. It has to end."

Just one story shared with us, but we know there are so many more, because...
Lockdowns cost lives:

▪️ @Ldn_Ambulance attends 60% more suicides or attempted suicides per day than in 2019

▪️ 25% more people had suicidal thoughts in L'down 1 (British Journal of Psychiatry study)

▪️ 560,000 lives will be lost *because* of lockdowns say experts @BristolUni
Never forget: this was sold to you in MARCH 2020 (46 weeks ago) as "just 3 weeks to flatten the curve"

Now @MattHancock "isn't prepared to speculate"(!) about when restrictions will be eased - let alone removed

Those goalposts just keep on moving, don't they?

#EnoughIsEnough
'Lockdowns' come with terrible costs - but there's increasing evidence they do next to nothing to control Covid 19.

We believe the 'cure' is far worse than the disease.
