Sir Van Morrison has accused the government of"taking our freedom" in three new songs that protest against the coronavirus lockdown. In the lyrics, he claims scientists are"making up crooked facts" to justify measures that"enslave" the population.Speaking on Thursday, the prime minister said the government was doing""I don't want a second national lockdown - I think it would be completely wrong for this country," Boris Johnson told MPs at the Commons Liaison Committee.
"So when I see people arguing against the rule of six or saying that the government is coming in too hard on individual liberties and so on - I totally understand that and I sympathise with that, but we must, must defeat this disease."Recorded"recently" in Belfast and England, Sir Van's three new songs sit in a familiar vein of jazz and bluesy R&B. However, the lyrics recall the angry young man who fronted Northern Irish rock group Them in the 1960s.
