James Delingpole: 'Masks are a symbol of government power'

Columnist James Delingpole says "[masks] are a symbol of government power" telling Julia on talkRADIO the wearing of face coverings "was never about the virus, it is about control."

Mr Delingpole raised the issue of recent anti-lockdown protests in London where he said police officers "brutally put down" demonstrations in a country which "up until now prided itself on freedom of expression" and "freedom to protest."

He added that "no libertarian will be doing what Boris Johnson is doing to this country right now" and accused him of being "by far the worst Prime Minister we have ever had."

MPs are due to vote on Tuesday on a tougher tier system in England to follow when the second national lockdown ends on December 2.

The three-tier approach would see 99% of the country placed in the two highest levels of restrictions.
