schema:text	What was claimed A memo from Imperial College London sets out plans for a permanent lockdown of the UK. Our verdict The memo is a fake. A memo from Imperial College London sets out plans for a permanent lockdown of the UK. The memo is a fake. A fake ‘leaked memorandum’ purportedly from Imperial epidemiologist Professor Neil Ferguson is circulating on social media. The document claims to be a ‘memo’ from Professor Ferguson, who advises the government as part of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group, circulated to a large group of people discussing plans for a “Permanent Lockdown of the UK”. Imperial College London has made a statement describing it as an “obvious fake” which was not written by Professor Ferguson, and said that some people have threatened and abused Imperial staff. The document does appear to be an obvious fake. It has no credible or traceable source. For example, the Facebook post linked to just says “I was sent screenshots yesterday by a friend”. It makes extraordinary claims without any credible evidence, suggesting that a motley crew of 25 people copied on the ‘memo’, ranging from doctors to senior government officials to business people to reporters, are able to carry out this conspiracy. It makes demonstrably false claims, such as describing a new variant of the virus as “just a re-branding of Hay Fever”. The details and language aren’t quite right. It refers to black people as ‘Blacks’ and gets some of the names and titles of recipients wrong. Full Fact’s toolkit details three questions to ask yourself to help you spot online disinformation. Full Fact fights for good, reliable information in the media, online, and in politics.
