“Minimise Travel” Advice Extended to Cover Millions More Brits
All people living in Greater Manchester and Lancashire are now advised to “minimise travel” due to fears over the Indian Delta Covid variant, though Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has told people not to cancel trips because of the new guidelines. The Government hopes to tackle the Delta strain with a “strengthened package of support”, focusing particularly on additional Covid testing. The Mirror has the story.
The Government’s Covid advice was updated today, to expand the areas advised to only travel in and out of the area if necessary.
At the end of May, the Government faced criticism after it updated guidance for people in Bedford, Blackburn and Darwen, Bolton, Burnley, Kirklees, Leicester, Hounslow, and North Tyneside, where the India variant had started to surge.
The information was posted in an online update at Gov.uk on May 21st but it was not accompanied by an official announcement.
Today, the areas covered by the guidance were updated to include the Greater Manchester Combined Authority… and Lancashire County Council…
Asked about the change, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “The Health Secretary has talked about that in the House.
“He wants to provide the package of support that has been effective in Bolton to a wider area, so that’s Greater Manchester and all of Lancashire County Council, to tackle the cases of the Delta variant.”
After the advice was updated, Health Secretary Matt Hancock told MPs: “I can tell the House that today working with local authorities, we are providing a strengthened package of support based on what’s working in Bolton, to help Greater Manchester and Lancashire tackle the rise in the Delta variant that we’re seeing there.
“This includes rapid response teams, putting in extra testing, military support and supervised in-school testing. I want to encourage everyone in Manchester and Lancashire to get the tests on offer.”…
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham told locals not to cancel trips because of the new guidance.
“It’s very important to keep a sense of proportion,” he told a press conference today.
“This is guidance… it is not a lockdown, it is not a ban.”

Preparing the ground for local lockdowns and national lockdown in the Autumn, like last summer.
Exactly this. We’ve been in restrictions since July 24th last year. I’m not following any rules and I’m actively now choosing to break as many as I can. It ends when we say it ends.
Covid restrictions are meant to be oppressive and serve no other purpose. A few really inadequate types may enjoy lockdowns, but so what.
Not very long ago it was said that local lockdowns or restrictions were not the way forward and that local disorder could occur. What’s changed? Clearly 100% normality is our aim here, without delay, but this endless change of approach is very draining.
“What’s changed?” They ran out of covid
100% (old) normality may be our aim, but the globalist captured UK government has very different objectives.
The Government hopes to tackle the Delta strain with a “strengthened package of support”, focusing particularly on additional Covid testing.
Trnaslation
Translation = we need more cases to keep this whole chirade going, to keep you all in fear and to usher in ever more martial law…
Yep. Manufactured casedemics are the total picture now that ‘Covid’ can’t be found.
We’ve moved from massive exaggeration to total fiction.
We’ve moved from total fiction to total fiction which is not very far
Total farce too.
Farcical it certainly is, but it is now becoming very dangerous. We are now in the end times, though most remain utterly clueless.
Refusal to be tested is paramount in keeping the rabid UK government at bay.
The ten most frightening words in the English language:
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”
“… where the India variant had started to surge”
Now where was that ‘surge’?????
I must have missed something. Or the dictionary has been re-written.
Pure fiction. Do we need it repeated?
Greater Manchester have been in and out of lockdown more than anywhere else in the UK as far as I know. Yet now COVID pops up again in the same place.
Is this actually linked to the lockdowns? i.e. all that lockdown manages to do is delay the inevitable and result in near on permanent lockdown with intermittent release simply to provide enough time to confirm enough rise in cases for the authorities to justify yet another lockdown and so on and on…..its crazy.
Probably because it is big enough to make news but far enough away from Scotland and London to not cause political issues. Remember how London had a so called surge and yet had the lowest restrictions in the country? They were only brought in line because people complained so no more fake variants there.
Nothing whatsoever to do with a respiratory virus. Greater Manchester is the usual target and amazingly it still has a closet Tory as a Labour mayor, who likes to give his own area a good kicking. Just why wouldn’t the utterly corrupt UK government victimise Greater Manchester?
Hello from plague pit Leicester (and Oadby & Wigston)…. Leicester City mayor wants to turn the place over to cycle lanes and redevelop the city centre into trendy flats built by his dodgy mates, and the MP for O&W is Neil O’Brien who not only thinks lockdowns are amazing but also that dropping a cat B prison into a residential area next to a train line (and DEFRA/DVLA offices) is a brilliant idea. Says it all really.
That’s Agenda 21/30 i.e. the globalist’s plan. That means your mayor and MP are now working for ‘them’ rather than the good folk of Leicester (as with many other bureaucrats – we’ve been infiltrated).
Here we go again! This time they’re not even going to the trouble of manufacturing a plausible story, they’re just making shit up! The worst thing is that most of the unfortunate brainwashed fools will go along with this regardless!!
At least Andy Burnham hasn’t gone for his frontal lobotomy yet. Johnson did and they had to put some in and Hancock they just wrote off!
They will lockdown…. they always lock down
The deployment of ‘military support’ is designed to increase our perception of the threat and to ensure compliance. It’s a very evil and unnecessary tactic. Shame on the government.
Shame on the army
The dictatorships punishment of the Portugalistas (dunno) continues unabated today
How dare this scum go on holiday in breach of the great reset
Guess they need the cases (false positives) before 21st gets too close!
Lock them up instead of lock us down
The Great Reset is already with us
Each taxpayer owns £78,000 of the National Debt
A ‘typical’ married couple where both work owe £156,000
If other factors such as government pension liabilities are factored in the number jumps to £300,000+
If their debt is subtracted from their assets they own nothing, they just don’t know it yet
According to the script this will make them happy
Most of that national debt is owed to British people either directly or via investments such as pension funds which bought the bonds. So we owe the money to ourselves. Funny thing debt.
Try cashing in your side of it.
Yes, but the government “represents” us so I’m sure it’ll pocket it on our behalf.
No, one generation signed a bankrupting amount of cheques in their children’s names.
“ focusing particularly on additional Covid testing.” Oh good, a nice PCR manufactured panic. Yay!
Note the ‘surging’ (in the proper sense) Orwellian use of vocabulary :
to surge = slight rise in testing
information was posted in an online = propaganda was spread on the government and MSM sites
package of support = more subsidy for the mates through useless purchases
variant = normal minor changes in scraps of RNA
cases = vastly inflated PCR results
military support = signalling of the police state
supervised in-school testing = child abuse
Then there’s the translation needed :
“It’s very important to keep a sense of proportion,” = Ignore this f.ing garbage.

I hope his
mumwife was there to comfort him.Will be ignoring all rubbish about variants. 13 deaths, definitely an AGENDA. Hope the businesses tell them where to stick their variants very soon.
Predicably the teaching unions want masks in the classroom again. They don’t seem to have realised that the so-called surge was happening at half term, and is probably more to do with a combination of pubs opening, warm weather and young folk hanging out together.
Already had the email saying masks are back on in corridors in our local authority (oldham) because cases are rising. They couldn’t wait.
Best thing everyone can do is ignore them. Stop giving them power over you!
Most of the ‘laws’ are actually guidance and most of the actual law is full of loopholes – use them to your advantage!
I have been and will continue to ignore them.
Gove, Hancock and the medical onanists have truly lost the plot in their insane desire to “command and control”. If the judiciary got off their fence-sitting splintered arses with their previous anti-Brexit alacrity, these out of control monsters might be reined in.
They’re pathetic weasels who have been mandated to vaccinate to a certain % target. They are under immense pressure.
Great word : Onanist! Had to look it up unsurprisingly!
All this covid signage everywhere like in the header photo to this story reminds me of the cult ’80s sci-fi movie “They Live” in which the population are subliminally programmed to obey via such messaging.
me too
This is me these days with government diktats.

People too willingly surrendered their freedom in March 2020 and I think now are slowly waking up to the fact they won’t be getting it back. I felt like a lone voice in March last year warning that lockdown was a very dangerous thing for society. I look forward to grovelling apologies from all those who chose not to listen while they languished in their gardens during those warm summer months not releasing that they had walked straight into a prison cell and the door was been firmly bolted shit behind them. Those people thoroughly deserve everything that is coming to them.
There will be no apologies. They will blame you for predicting it.
.. and people with no symptoms will queue for hours for a test. Why oh why?
NHS Data sale delayed (because you caught us), but only a bit: My MP (puke) on message, repeating propaganda 3 times seems to be a thing…. https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/0aba1ed3-335d-4746-a65c-886b8adac067?in=12:01:51&out=12:02:51
Are those queuing to get tested on furlough, needs to be investigated.
This ends when we say it does …. STOP COMPLYING.
Knowing what we all know, anyone on this site not taking advantage of mask-wearing self-exemption is a collaborator. STOP it and set an example for the sheep!
Andy Burnham is a Davos Corporation regional manager. He’s up to his neck in it, as complicit in the war the system is waging on the people as Johnson, Hancock, Whitty et al. All those defiant press conferences last year were a load of theatrical bollocks.
“Be afraid, be VERY afraid”. No this is not a lockdown, officially. It’s just being implanted by psy-ops psychopaths in the minds of the weak.
