Objective scientific analysis of data is required to understand the patterns being noted across Europe and the UK. To conclude this is because of lockdown without that analysis being done is misinformation.
The major possibilities are:
Lockdown effects for the older population
Complications from severe COVID-19
Unanticipated COVID vaccine complications

“During lockdown people with dementia or severe mental illness had a higher risk of death without confirmed COVID-19.”
“There was no significant difference in the frequency of the major causes of death in the first wave of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in Norway compared with corresponding periods 2010–2019.”
It should be noted that this research in Norway is focused on a short period of time and so the impact of lockdown cannot be adequately measured.
Is anyone going to discuss the elephant in the room?
Why should the potential impact of broad population level covid vaccination not be included in the analysis of increased excess mortality across the world?
Who suggested that lockdowns are the explanation for current excess mortality?
