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.
"The new normal, is not normal," he sings. "We were born to be free".
Speaking on Wednesday, the prime minister said the government was doing "everything in our power" to prevent another nationwide lockdown.
"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.

He has given clues in the past that he is an asshole. Ask his ex-wives.

But I guess that is to much science, or did you read about what happened to Herman Cain, that wack job that went a rally in Oklahoma without a mask, do you think it was hoax, he apparently did along with others................
