Lockdown's 'economic disaster', says William Hague
Ex-Tory leader William Hague says a lockdown is to be scrapped, an "economic disaster" and calls for the two-Meter distance rule.
Mr Hague said the lockdown has been growing inequality, social tension and debt.
The hospitality industry, and some members of Parliament and scientists, have for the 2m (6ft) rule That relaxed to be in England.
No said 10, an examination will generally be completed "in The Coming weeks".
And Transport Secretary-General, Grant shapp's said That the government would not change the limitation to 4. July at the earliest.
He told Bbc Breakfast That The Public would be "very vindictive", if the UK experienced a second sting of the coronavirus caused by "noise" is a change in the restrictions.
So Far , England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have been waiting for, the two-Meter rule.
It Comes as official figures show, The Number of staff lists in the UK, wage and salary, to reflect the effect of about Six Weeks in lockdown.
But economists say the Full Impact on employment will not be felt until the wage-conveyor systems at the end of October.
In his article, Mr Hague said, the blocking was so "destructive", it could "only be allowed to happen again".
He urged the government to waste the quarantine rotten, on international arrivals - which requires all people arriving in the UK to isolate itself for 14 Days and the 2m-social distancing-rule.
"We can Now see That it is not necessary to keep a two-Meter separation between people, The Virus is on the retreat, where it is already at a low level," he writes.
