People in Britain are living under the some of the toughest Covid-19 RESTRICTIONS in the world - only Ireland has stricter regulations in Europe.

Countries were scored out of 100, with 100 being the strictest, Britain’s final tally was 86.11 - placing them well above countries such as neighbors France (63.89) and the US (68.06).

The report follows on from British PM Boris Johnson’s announcement of an extremely cautious roadmap out of lockdown, with restrictions set to be in place until at least the 21st of June.

Dr Hibbert became the latest Simpsons character to be recast, Harry Shearer will no longer voice the character after 30 years in the role.

The Simpsons announced last June that the show would no longer have white actors voicing black or minority characters. The pledge came after Black Lives Matter protests and Antifa riots following the death of George Floyd.

Previously Hank Azaria stepped down from voicing the character of Indian convenience store owner Apu and Homer’s black workmate Carl.

Fox’s announcement of Dr Hibbert’s recasting comes directly after another family series, The Muppets, added a disclaimer to certain episodes on Disney+ warning viewers of ‘negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures’.

2021-02-24 03:00:08 COVID could KILL 30,000+ if UK LOCKDOWN lifted too quickly! 'Restrictions may be needed indefinitely'

British scientists have warned 30,000 could die and hospitals could face another wave of coronavirus - as restrictions are lifted.

UK leaders revealed a roadmap to gradually lift lockdowns starting in the 2nd week of March. A science advisory group, however, says even a gradual lifting could see an infection spike similar to last spring.

The new model will keep limits on social distancing into the summer, as the PM hints that Covid passports will likely be required for holiday travel.

Imperial College London suggests deaths could rise by over 90,000 if restrictions are completely lifted by the end of April. Assuming that 4MN people per week are vaccinated from the spring, scientists still say up to half of the population would remain at risk.

2021-02-24 02:30:02 Keith Olbermann engaging in vile bigotry is hardly news, but notice the silence of those who think like him, but don't say it *quite* so openly. You know, the mainstream US media and the "left," the same people who spent the past five years crying "RUSSIA" and see "Russian hackers/poisoners/meddlers" under every bed.

It speaks volumes about "cancel culture," its actual stand against bigotry (spoiler: it's fine whey They do it) and is once again proof that in Our Democracy, it's Who/Whom all the way down. My latest for RT.com: https://on.rt.com/b2e8 Open / Comment

2021-02-24 01:00:13 America becoming a ‘totalitarian state before our eyes’ - Former Clinton adviser SLAMS Biden’s administration

Naomi Wolf, a former adviser to Bill Clinton, tore into President Biden’s Covid-19 RESTRICTIONS.

Appearing on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight show, she said: ‘the country is moving into a coup situation, a police state’.

The outspoken liberal has been extremely critical previously on extended lockdowns: ‘the state has now crushed businesses…which is a violation of the Fourth Amendment’.

Wolf ended the interview with a stinging rebuke on the US pandemic response, before adding: ‘I really hope we wake up quickly…history also shows that it’s a small window in which people can fight back - before it is too dangerous to fight back’.
