Protesters across Britain call for zero-Covid strategy

NURSES, doctors, trade unionists and health campaigners staged a National Day of Action across Britain over the weekend against the government’s catastrophic Covid-19 policies.

In London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Sheffield, Wellingborough and other areas on Saturday, protesters slammed the government’s “learning to live with the virus” approach and demanded a “Zero Covid Strategy.”

They said  the “best Christmas present” PM Boris Johnson could give is to replace the “failed” three-tier system of restrictions.
