Typical comment from you, mate. Maximum disruption on the back of minimal evidence. | 
	
 Don’t talk rubbish Old Boy. ONS data shows (linked by PIP) school age children as most likely to have the virus.
Now they are either catching it from their parents going to non-essential retail or schools are driving transmission. This is also the SAGE position that closing schools drives down R.
I know throughout this pandemic you have consistently been proven wrong, clinging onto false dawn after false dawn. Thankfully, our politicians, despite being somewhat incompetent and ignoring the data haven’t gone full ostrich like you Old Boy and do, often belatedly, accept what is staring them in the face. Something you haven’t yet done and not something I truly expect now. 
If the vaccine doesn’t give you hope and offer realisation that there’s an end in sight without sacrificing tens of thousands of lives nothing will.

You are in panic mode, my friend. We need to study the evidence rather more carefully than jumping to such conclusions.
 Balance your solution with the problems we are aware of, such as denying young children the education they need at a crucial time in their lives, and how their parents will look after them if both are working full time. Is that not worthy of consideration too?

This simply can only be trolling. Honestly, cases increase in the school age population, in lockdown (Tier 4), but it’s not schools.
