Femi Oluwole, political activist, posted a video on Twitter where he claimed “Boris Johnson has effectively admitted that BREXIT IDEOLOGY killed thousands of people during Covid“.
Using a clip of former Health Secretary Matt Hancock explaining how the UK’s Covid response was “based on the science”, Mr Oluwole said: “(This) means the Tories’ failure to lockdown on time was affected by their opinion of the public.”
He then used a clip of Boris Johnson in 2020 saying Covid restrictions weren’t brought in earlier as the UK is a “freedom-loving country”, before showing clips of the Prime Minister during the Vote Leave campaign where he said to “ignore the pessimists and the merchants of gloom”.
Mr Oluwole argued both showed a failure to “save lives” and said: “Tory ideology was incompatible with what was necessary to save lives, and the Tories wrongly assumed that the entire country shared that ideology.
“And as a result we ended up with the worst excess death rate in all of Europe and 150,000 people dead.”

EU Ode to Joy is taking a back seat as Japanese PM visit proves success of Brexit Britain
Brexiteers have hailed the visit by Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida as further proof Britain is booming outside the EU and is a major player on the world stage.
Mr Kishada came to Britain specifically so he could take his appeal for foreign investment to the bankers and investors of the City of London.
He also signed a defence deal with the UK in the wake of Britain’s leading role in the Ukraine crisis.
Mark Francois, chairman of the European Research Group (ERG) of Tory Brexiteer MPs, said: “The fact we are now doing major deals with Japan, including to bolster Western security, shows that Global Britain is becoming a reality, now we have left the EU.
“Ode to Joy seems to have taken a back seat today to the land of the Rising Sun.”
