“We Are Seeing Some Worrying Stuff in the Data,” Says PM
Boris Johnson has “all but confirmed” that the June 21st “Freedom Day” will be delayed, saying that “we are seeing some worrying stuff in the data”. The PM is particularly concerned about an increase in hospitalisations – only too late have NHS hospitals been told to change the way they collect data on patients who test positive for Covid by differentiating between those who are actually sick with Covid symptoms and those who test positive but are actually ill with something else. The fact that there is unlikely to be much of a backlash to the extension of lockdown from the public appears also to have bolstered the Government’s decision to delay. The MailOnline has more.
The PM delivered a downbeat assessment of the dangers posed by the Indian “Delta” variant amid growing expectations he will announce a four-week delay to the unlocking roadmap at a press conference on Monday…
In a round of broadcast interviews at the G7 summit in Cornwall, Mr Johnson insisted no final decision will be taken until Monday.
“We are seeing some worrying stuff in the data, clearly. We are seeing the Delta variant causing an increase in cases, we are seeing an increase in hospitalisations,” he told Channel 5 News.
“The whole point of having an irreversible roadmap is to do it cautiously and that’s what we are going to do. I know people are impatient to hear more but you will be hearing the full picture on Monday.”
Ministers believe the backlash from Tory MPs and the public should be limited as long as the timetable does not slip beyond the school holidays.
A poll today suggested that just a third of Britons want the total lifting of restrictions to go ahead as originally laid out.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: A poll for Opinium published last night showed that a majority of Britons are now in favour of postponing the June 21st lifting of restrictions. Over half (54%) think the date should be postponed (up from 43% two weeks ago), with just 37% thinking it should go ahead as planned or even be moved forward (down from 44% two weeks ago). The majority of those in favour of postponing are among the older age groups with almost two thirds (65%) of over-65s in favour of postponing and only 28% in favour of going ahead as planned or earlier. Young people are more evenly split as 45% of 18-34 year olds think it should be postponed and 46% think it should go ahead as planned or earlier.
More specifically, people are most in favour of not removing the restrictions on:
- Wearing masks (62% vs 31%)
- Keeping nightclubs closed (60% vs 28%)
- Limiting large outdoor events (60% vs 31%)
- Having a maximum of 30 people can gather outdoors (57% vs 31%)
- Having a rule of six and table service in hospitality venues (50% vs 42%)
- Having up to 30 people at weddings (48% vs 41%)
- Having up to six people in people’s homes (47% vs 43%)
It’s official. We’ve become a nation of chin wobblers.

Worrying stuff in the data = we’re running out of COVID deaths, we need to find other ways to keep this going
Worrying stuff – indeed.
But we know that the people will swallow anything so we will keep spouting shite.
And I am Churchill incarnate. Saviour of the world.
Maybe the G7 variant, let loose because international attendees did not have to self isolate. Primary symptom, speaking bullshit.
Or leaking Bullshit…!
Like this…..
It has to be asked, where do these pollsters get their numbers from? I don’t know of anyone who has been asked for an opinion on this stuff (ever) and I know relatively few who agree with all or any of the restrictions listed. I guess that’s because they get their box-ticking stats fed to them socially distanced, through the letterboxes of the Double Digit chin wobblers who’ve voted from behind their sofas or under their beds via Rover the dog.
Doris and the rest of the gangsters have only got to keep the scam lies and massaged numbers going for a wikkle bit longer, then we’re back into The annual
Cold and FluCOVID season, and our ‘Glorious Sainted’ envy of the world will continue to require rescuing!I’ve wondered about this all through the panic. My suspicion is that the polls are conducted via telephone, so the majority of respondents are old, vulnerable and/or simply fearful people who are glad to answer the questions; people who are not in those categories are out and about or simply too busy to answer. Also, younger people are more likely to decline a call from an unknown number. If correct, this would mean that the results are always going to be skewed towards fear.
Why don’t the NHS give the daily tally for Cancer deaths, and Stroke deaths, and Heart disease deaths and suicides? My guess is it would make for unpalatable PR for this rank diseased Government
Don’t forget the vaccine deaths! “If it saves one life” yeah right
“Worrying stuff in the data” Maybe he is referring to the yellow card DATA?
But I doubt it!
He isn’t seeing anything as he doesn’t look and even if he did he wouldn’t know what he was looking at. It is simply what SAGE are telling him and will continue to tell him.
Johnson is to damned lazy to research and make a decision of his own.
The people were warned about his lack of attention to detail before the election and his laziness but they went ahead and voted the fraud into office.
Worrying “stuff”?? I expect more of our elected leader!
Why do you expect more of a clownish buffoon, who has outsourced running the country to technocrats who agree with his view that humanity needs to be culled?
I was thinking exactly the same!
Indeed!
It’s our elected leader that worries me!!
The man has supposedly been vaccinated and he’s still wearing a mask. What exactly were you expecting?
Yes, he is exceptionally spineless and thick.
Also he is a very dangerous buffoon. Johnson is an ardent eugenicist, just like his father who has made a very good living out of sponsoring early death for the masses.
He’s not thick just completely lazy and unintelligent in things that really matter.
Vaccinated AND recovered from COVID
Just to demonstrate he is a certified buffoon, though a very dangerous one to be sure.
Allegedly vaccinated
Pure theatre to galvanise the plebs to take the jab.
And you don’t need both. If you recover it is nonsensical to get a vaccination
It’s a mistake to expect leadership from vacuous opportunistic personality politicians. They don’t lead, they follow.
To an incontinent power-grabber, ever truth is ‘worrying’, because it threatens the power grab.
It’s hard to say for sure, but the longer this goes on the harder it is to avoid the conclusion that it is indeed a power grab. Whether or not it started like that, it certainly looks like one now. More than initial panic and arse covering, they have grown used to the easy power and want it forever.
It was planned from the start.
Remember the early theatre of Boris appearing not to take the virus sufficiently seriously? That was a carefully crafted strategy to persuade us to take it seriously. If they’d played it straight, we’d have seen right through it.
The Diamond Princess was probably made for TV. Really great value for money. International passengers, so that viewers in several nations could follow the daily drama in which their countrymen were caught up.
Covid was always a scam.
Power corrupts, absolute powerccorrupts absolutely
I think that was always the intention.
Of course. As admissions rise due to the jab and a backlog of other problems, better lock down while they can still be falsely attributed to covid – and prolong lockdown even further.
Didn’t seem to concern him much at the G7 meeting where there was no mask-wearing, no 10 days self isolation for the visiting heads of state and their entourage and no social distancing …
Don’t forget, the virus is class conscious and only infects the vulgar working class population.
But from the way some of those in the so-called ‘refined class’ behave, you wouldn’t think so.
Yup. The serving staff – the plebeian contagion carriers – were all masked up. All the attendees – only masked up and elbow bumping and socially distancing for their photo ops.
Denizens of the boozer..and bingo.
Neanderthal thinking?
Our Neanderthal ancestors were capable people; they were, for example, able to produce pitch, which requires precise temperature control.
Hypocrisy from politicians, who would have thought it?
Just three weeks to flatten the curve, just a few more weeks, just another few weeks to save the NHS and it”l be all over, just wear your masks and keep your distance, just one more push – sacrifice christmas to save easter it will all be worth it, once the elderly and frail are vaccinated we’ll lift all restrictions, once the over fifties are vaccinated it’ll all be over, once the over forties are vaccinated … just until the over twenties have been jabbed … erm once all teenagers are been vaccinated we’ll end restrictions, well we can’t lift restrictions now because of all these variants going about ….
I would find it incredible that after 15 months of being strung along like this that there is anyone out there with with even just a couple of healthy working brain cells who cannot see through this endless virus nonsense – if people are still being duped by this claptrap then I suspect there is something going on here that is far more serious than just plain stupidity – its like severe case of battered housewives syndrome but on a national scale.
Psychops on steroids, that’s what.
While some are beginning to wake up, it is likely be all rather too late if they have already taken the Covid needle.
And it was treatable all along.
Brilliant. Thank you so much for this…

But now, a few weeks later, she is gassing away – no mask – no social distancing – with people from abroad who didn’t quarantine. Give me a break. And we can’t end lockdown?! https://t.co/x8qE32r823

Duckin pronto.
I felt sorry for her at Phillip’s funeral. Now, after seeing her take part in the charade, not so much. Disappointing.
I used to be a stalward monarchist, but after this, no more!

I’ve just sent this and the posts below to my MP to ask for his comments.
I’m seeing some wonderful stuff in the data. At Roland Garros in Paris the dreaded covid does NOT strike afte curfew at 11pm, at least if you were watching the semi-final bewteen Nadal and Djokavic, which was at 2-1 in the 4th set at 11pm, the game continued to its end.
Hypocritical bastards!
Boris, you BUZZARD! YOU ABSOLUTE BUZZARD!
You have given your new wife the wedding of her dreams… wearing her perfect green outfit.. in the ultimate location which ties you to her forever, in God’s will…
What groom could have wished more for his beloved?
AND YET! AND YET!
You seem now to have decided to deny the same privilege to at least 50,000 other weddings which have been saved for, and/or postponed for at least a year – possibly 30,000 already paid for – no refunds.
YOU PROMISED THAT FREEDOM DAY WAS IRREVERSIBLE!!!
You hypocrite! You buzzard!
YOU HYPOCRITE! YOU ABSOLUTE BUZZARD!
You may think that you are supported by the polls. Do you realise how many families will never vote for you ever again?
Please don’t insult buzzards
But he is supported by the polls isnt he?
He doesn’t care, he’s followng the Agenda.
If its over for them then its over for us too.
Too right.
“Deadly Pandemic Cocktail Party” – with Justin Trudeau doing god knows what with his finger. I reckon it’s worthy of a caption competition.
That’s my argument too.
“We are seeing some worrying stuff in the data… It would seem that we’re running out of BS because it all looks too good. So we must rely on the covidiots to scream and shout for more lockdowns and masks.”
Sorry chaps. Once a bio-weapon, always a bio-weapon.
That’s what we were all branded as in March 2020 when we were placed under house arrest. And that is what we will remain for the rest of our days.
We are now all walking, talking bio-weapons to be controlled with tests, masks, distancing, jabs and where necessary isolation.
Better get used to it.
Disagree. The bio weapens are now the jabbed that, with a simple booster shot, can be unleashed on the world.
That is where the next pandemic will come from. A simple booster shot which, after a suitable passage of time, will create a virus like illness and people will srart dying in large numbers.
Of course, it will be identified as a natural virys, highly infectious and deadly, requiring the world to be shut down. This time though it will never reopen. The elites will have absolute control.
You’re both right imo.
The first bioweapon is the virus, which is no big deal respiratory virus, only a serious threat to the old & ill.
However, with the fearporn amp set to 11, we’re set up for the second bioweapon, the gene based “vaccines”.
I expect this to glide into vaccine passports.
These will give the perpetrators complete control, including ordering us to attend for the third bioweapon: “booster shots” masquerading as vaccines. They won’t be that, and the most likely expectation is there’ll be genes coding for something they’ll kill the recipients (potentially with a delay).
I’m not getting used to anything!
So a third of Britainswant an end to lock down.
THATS 20 MILLION PEOPLE BEING IGNORED.
While it seems utterly mad, a third is actually not bad given the brainwashing that has gone on. The evil new normal has been ingrained and will be hard to get rid of, but right now, I would take a third. It’s something to build on.
The NHS dashboard is currently showing 884 ‘covid’ patients in English NHS hospitals this is a fall from yesterdays figure of 906. OK only a small fall 2.4% but hardly a worrying trend.As far as I can see this Delta Indian variant is causing a mild summer cold in hay fever season. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and keep this nightmare running as long as it suits them.
They want to get through to September when the flu season picks up. They are so transparent, yet many cannot see it.
Just a third of people want the total lifting of restrictions?
It seems to me that 100% of people can be accommodated on the 21st by lifting the restrictions as planned, since two thirds of people can stay at home and wear masks if they want to.
Great fat spineless Marxist worm strikes again, having lowered expectations to begin with, he destroys them completely.
He has totalitarian instincts and is scum.
Gosh! One certainly did not see this jolly bad news coming, what a big surprise 😷
Excuse my cynicism but I think its all deliberate and part the project plan’s strategy to fuck around with peoples heads, to try and weaken citizens minds into acceptance of a new totalitarian normal.
Brainwash Back Better
Johnson:“We are seeing some worrying stuff in the data, clearly. We are seeing the Delta variant causing an increase in cases, we are seeing an increase in hospitalisations,”.
I’ve got one of them! It doesn’t half get through some batteries, though.
What polls? Anyone here vote in them? Or are the numbers just plucked from the air to justify the continued lockdown? I don’t know of one person who would have voted to continue with the restrictions but I do know several people whose lives are being ruined because of them.
I have never been asked my opinion in any poll in my life. Do the over 65s believe that the injections don’t work? If they have been jabbed why are they frightened of allowing other people to carry on with their lives? I doubt that age group are getting married so why should they care how many people attend a wedding; perhaps they don’t have friends so don’t have dinner parties, or even a barbecue with more than two people. This is utter bullshit. I am over 65 and I simply cannot believe that our nation has become so feeble about living normal lives. If they feel like that, and have been jabbed, just stay at home and hide behind the sofa. What else was in the bloody jabs – some kind of mind-bending drug to make you permanently terrified?
The jab wasn’t required for this ,just Spi -B and Michie
I’m over 65 and certainly not a bedwetter. I don’t want anyone to feel they have to be jabbed or masked for my benefit in fact it makes me furious to think people are being coerced into taking these measures for my benefit.
I signed up for Opinium and Yougov. I can tell you, they quickly ascertain how you’re going to answer ‘awkward’ questions, and you get left off any poll containing said awkward questions. They did it with Brexit, too. I have only once been asked how I feel about lockdowns, and that was earlier last year. Occasionally there is a question you can give a fuller answer to ie using your own words. I particularly enjoy those,
Me too 😁
And me. Total sham
Laura Dodsworth makes the point in her book that opinion polls are themselves a nudge. Just another tool in the psychos’ box
I think it’s got to the stage where they can pretty much make up anything they like. Where do they conduct the polls? It must be online so how do they choose samples? Nothing is transparent except the fact that we are being lied to.
Also, the PM says “We are seeing some worrying stuff in the data, clearly. “
What stuff? And no, it’s not ‘clearly’, it’s as vague and murky as a stagnant pond. It certainly stinks like one. No one questions him because mainstream journalism isn’t about asking questions and trying to get to the truth, it’s about reporting someone’s opinion as fact.
The same pathological liar that said his failing reading vision (as a 56 yr old man) was “Very plausibly due to covid”. Yeah, right.
I don’t trust the polls – I think they are too easily manipulated. How big was the sample?
Commenters on the Telegraph online are overwhelmingly against any postponement.
Commenters on the Daily Mail website seem to be massively anti-lockdown too.
Covid bad, lockdown good. Mentally uncoupling these is proving too much for people; consequently the oppression continues indefinitely. The danger of course being of sending dreaded ‘mixed messages’. You all know full well ‘lifting lockdown’ will leave the masks, the mass testing, track & trace, the ‘traffic light system’ of non-travel, the quarantining (except of course for elite sportspeople, VVIPs and BBC Nature teams) firmly in place. ‘Lifting lockdown’ whenever it does happen will simply mean changing the number of people we’re ‘allowed’ to meet with.
i’ve no idea what to do, every morning bears grim news now. The few countries not playing along with the mass hypnosis will inevitable be squeezed until they comply.
i believe we’re living in the ‘End Times’, ridiculous at that would have sounded until recently.
It IS the end-times. It fits perfectly. The Great Delusion sent by God. No-one has yet fathomed out why so many people are being so stupid, and there’s the answer; it is a Divine operation. Even if you don’t believe in God, you have to admit there’s something really weird about this mass hypnosis….and why does it not affect lockdown sceptics?
It is a prefigurement of the end times, and a rehearsal for it.
Some people are more susceptible to B. S as well as hypnosis others like us Sceptics aren’t so prone to it, also having an enquiring mind helps too!
How do we know that this opinion poll is bona fide? Since when were opinion polls a true reflection of public opinion?
Who is commissioning these polls? Who is framing the questions? Who selects the people to be polled?
If the question posed was “Do you think that we should continue with a law that requires healthy people to put a cloth on their face even though we know it provides no reduction in virus transmission?” perhaps fewer respondents would say yes.
Never.

Or, in the words of Victoria Wood: totally fony bodo.
Zahawi the vaccine minister founded YouGov so it can hardly be called independent!
What we are seeing is controls. They are still using covid this, covid that, but blatantly ‘allowing’ large numbers to attend events, but under controls. They need to keep up the covid myth, to control, they can invent any number of ‘cases’ to do this. The ultimate goal is a ‘controlled’ society which if allowed only gets more controlling. They can’t let things like masks go, as that is the signal to all that we are following the rules and restrictions.
It is very simply all to keep up pressure to take the jabs, and make children, pregnant women, embryos, the dying, the immune, all to take the jabs. At least every year, for the rest of time.
And spread that to the whole world.
What shocks me is how two thirds of the population dont seem to have seen through this utter BS yet….and do not want normal life to resume.
Yes, we’ve become a nation of idiots, it’s been happening for so long that no one has noticed.
We need to stop thinking Covid and start thinking Controls. Everything is about controls. The queuing for food, for testing, they aren’t bothered about the numbers, but the fact that we queue, the thousands they are ‘allowing’ at events, not worried again but they are ‘allowing’ it, the number at funerals and weddings that make no sense, doesnt need to make sense, they are ‘allowing’ it, they are controlling, by stealth, until people accept these things as the ‘new normal’. You can’t just walk into a shop, a pub, a cinema, they are controlling how many and what you have on your face. They start with restrictions, and they add constantly. Can’t believe people are allowing our Free society to be trashed by the sheep.
We need to study Common Law.
