Saira Khan slammed the UK government for announcing a second lockdown in explosive Monday loose women’s row
The 50-year-old TV presenter claimed the nation as a whole should not be punished because of a ‘minority’ of rule-breakers because the UK is not « a totalitarian state »
Entering a fierce war of words with Andrea McLean, Brenda Edwards and Gloria Hunniford, she said the coronavirus crisis and the first lockdown had already led to increased suicide rates, a lack of cancer treatments and a loss of funds for charities
« We do not live in a totalitarian state! » Saira Khan slammed the government for announcing a second lockdown in an explosive row of Loose Women on Monday
As Gloria asked her for an answer to the growing rate of COVID-19 infections in the country, Saira said: ‘I’m not saying I have the answer, I’m giving a different approach
« As far as I’m concerned, charities are losing money, suicides are exploding, people have lost the opportunity to seek treatment for cancer
‘Sorry, but this is not a balanced approach in our country Lockdown does not provide that,’ ‘she said
Strike: Entering an explosive debate with his co-panelists, Saira said the first lockdown resulted in increased suicide rates, lack of cancer treatments and loss of funds to charities
Rant: As Gloria asked her for an answer to the rising rate of COVID-19 infections in the country, Saira said: ‘I’m not saying I have the answer, I’m giving an approach different »
Gloria said in response to Saira’s frustrations: ‘This is a global issue Saira, I respect you and your business a lot
‘You or no one else has the ultimate answer This is a huge problem The government has worked hard to keep the leave going’
The TV presenter then asked Saira if she had ‘the answer’ to the global pandemic, given that she was so opposed to another lockdown
She said, “I just gave you the answer! The answer is not to lock in completely!”
Defense: Gloria said in response to Saira: ‘You or no one else has the ultimate answer This is a huge problem The government has worked hard to ensure that the permission continues’
Reflection: Andrea then stepped in saying: « You can surely see that there comes a time when the government is going to you know what, we are going to have to shut everything down »
Andrea agreed that the businesses, which would have to shut down again, were following the law and rules set by the government, but there were members of the public who did not
And Saira continued, « I understand that, we shouldn’t allow this to happen But this is where the government can put a protocol in place to break these raves’
Andrea intervened, saying: ‘What I’m saying is that, and I hear all your opinions, I’m not necessarily going down one side or the other here, but you can surely see that there comes a time when the government is going to you know what, we are going to have to shut everything down ‘
Becoming frustrated, Saira said loudly, “We don’t live in a totalitarian state! If you live in China the government will tell you what to do, you will do it
Candide: frustrated, Saira retaliated: « We don’t live in a totalitarian state we have to find a very balanced way and find a way to keep people’s lives in a safe environment »
Allegation: Saira continued, « You can’t say the majority of the people didn’t respect her It’s a minority of people who are causing the problems and the whole nation shouldn’t have to pay for it
« We are a very different nation and their policies differ across cultures and people, and we have to find a very balanced way and find a way to keep people’s lives in a safe environment
« It can’t be said that the majority of the people didn’t respect him It’s a minority of people causing the problems and the whole nation shouldn’t have to pay for it »
Discussing how the public can help during the second lockdown, Brenda said: ‘People have to take personal responsibility If you’re going to get out of this, do something
« If you are a Member of Parliament, follow these guidelines and everyone will follow your example ‘
Do your part: discussing how the public can limit the second lockdown, Brenda said: ‘People have to take personal responsibility If you’re going to get out of this, do something’
