The 695,000 came from the governments website however i can't find it again. According to the ONS for England and Wales:
www.ons.gov.uk...
Year / Total Deaths
2020 608,002
2019 530,841
2018 541,589
2017 533,253
2016 525,048
2015 529,655
2015-2019
5 Year Average
532,077.2
2020
Total Deaths: 608,002
Covid Deaths: 135,000
Other Deaths: 473,002
I reckon that's around a 12% reduction in deaths if you take deaths as a direct result of Covid out of the equation.

If you can provide me with the figure then. Considering you think it was under reported ill be glad to re-calculate. I'm unable to find that particular statistic for 2020 covid deaths on my phone.
I still suspect other deaths will be well below 5 year average which is counter intuitive.

I’ll have a look and try to come up with a more accurate and reliable figure when I get home from work. There’s no harm in doing a bit of analysis collectively who knows maybe our stubborn asses might come to agreement on something one day with enough effort. Don’t hold your breath just yet tho.

Lol at anyone using any kind of falsified data as an arguing point. The data has been completely compromised and is worthless.
