Intelligence Squared has established itself as the leading forum for live, agenda-setting debates, talks and discussions around the world. Our aim is to promote a global conversation that enables people to make informed decisions about the issues that matter, in the company of the world's greatest minds and orators. 3:10 - Christopher Hitchens 16:51 - Nigel Spivey 26:46 - Richard Dawkins One of the comments: If it weren't religion, humans would find other reasons to control and punish others. It is convenient for us to blame the wishes of deity when we treat others badly. [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIR7_X-ahy4)

Office for National Statistics admits just 6,000 people died of Covid-19 in England and Wales between Feb 2020 and Dec 2021 By The Exposé on January 20, 2022 In response to a freedom of information request the Office for National Statistics has admitted that just 6,183 people actually died of Covid-19 in England and Wales between February 1st 2020 and 31st December 2021, exposing the 150,000 death toll constantly repeated by the Government, Scientific Advisors, and the mainstream media as an extraordinary lie. The freedom of information (FOI) request politely asked the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to supply the number of deaths solely caused Covid-19, where Covid-19 was the only cause of death listed on the death certificate. The ONS responded to the FOI on the 17th Jan 22, proving a breakdown of the number of deaths solely due to Covid-19 by age and sex between 1st Feb 20 and 31st Dec 21. Table 1: https://i0.wp.com/dailyexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/image-194.png?resize=768%2C989&ssl=1 The response from the ONS revealed that there had been just 3,362 deaths among males between 1st Feb 20 and 31st Dec 21, and 2,821 deaths among females during the same time frame. The vast majority among the elderly population. This is a far cry from the claim of 150,000+ Covid-19 deaths made by the UK Government and its institutions. Table 2: https://i0.wp.com/dailyexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/image-195.png?resize=768%2C582&ssl=1 The ONS also revealed that just 3 people under the age of 20 died of Covid-19 between 1st Feb 20 and 31st Dec 21, putting further shame on the UK Governments decision to overrule the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation and administer an experimental Covid-19 injection; that is incapable of preventing infection or transmission, to children. Table 3: https://i0.wp.com/dailyexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/image-197.png?resize=768%2C580&ssl=1 According to the Coronavirus dashboard on the UK Government site, as of 31st December 2021 the UK Government claimed a total of 149,217 people had died of Covid-19 since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020.

Table 5: https://i0.wp.com/dailyexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/image-199.png?resize=640%2C480&ssl=1 The scale of the lies and propaganda over the past two years is unprecedented, and it looks like it’s all about to come out in the wash. 150k Covid-19 deaths? Pull the other one, the ONS have just confirmed in black and white that there have only been just over 6,000. Source: https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/01/20/ons-admits-just-6k-covid-deaths-since-feb-20/
