Sturgeon Won’t Rule Out Further Lockdowns, as Restrictions Partially Eased in Scotland
Restrictions have been partially eased in Scotland today, but it’s not all good news. Scots must continue to wear face masks on public transport and inside public spaces and, more worryingly, Nicola Sturgeon has refused to rule out introducing further lockdowns in the future, saying: “Keeping this virus under control depends on all of us continuing to do all of the sensible things I’ve been talking about.” She told BBC Breakfast (as quoted in the Guardian):
This has been a long, hard year-and-a-half, but we’ve got to continue to exercise care and caution – this virus is unpredictable, and I think it’s true that we underestimate it at our peril. …
Every fibre of my being hopes that the restrictions we are lifting today in Scotland will never, ever have to be imposed, and am I optimistic about that? Yes.
Can I guarantee it? Well, I could tell you that right now for the sake of an easier interview, but it wouldn’t be the right thing to say because keeping this virus under control depends on all of us continuing to do all of the sensible things I’ve been talking about.
We also know that this is a virus that has already mutated, new variants continue to be our biggest threat, so we’ve got to be careful and we’ve got to be realistic.
But I very much hope that all of that, coupled, of course, principally with the power of vaccination, will mean that never again do we have to face lockdowns.

There is. It’s called a bucket.
Wow! The hypocrisy of the Dems knows no bounds!
Don’t forget “mr cautious” Drakeford
Short public health information video to show to your kids so they may be informed when asked to give their informed concent to be vaccinated while in the safe custody of their schools – get your kids to send this video to their teachers (and you could send it to the school insurance companies)

I wish there were transcripts for all these videos that so many people post and seem to prefer to text based info. I loathe watching them, they put my teeth on edge, and I end up only watching the first minute or less before giving up. 🙁
i struggle to get peeps to press play even for a very short video – definitely cant get the lazy fcukers to read stuff
If any hands, face, space signs ever appear near me again, I’m going to deface them with the doctors words…..FEAR, SUFFERING, SHOT.
Here is another one they can send (Taken down by You Tube which also had a transcript in the comments.) Its 6.5 minutes of your time but well worth it IMHO. https://www.bitchute.com/video/U5QloPj3tLFt/
I said to myself “Six minutes? Surely I don’t need to sit and watch this” but it’s a formidable blast against the world’s total wrong-headedness in its response to the virus.
Of course lockdowns are returning, now that you’ve had a few weeks of fun it’s time to put everybody back in the governmental control box. Not just in Scotland. Oh of course the fear factor will be ramped up a notch to get the sheeple shitting themselves.
But this time you’ll be able to win more social time if you follow the jailers orders exactly.
Correct. We are in a deliberate ‘calm’ trough at the moment but I fully expect the fear part of the rollercoaster to start rising soon.
Yes. It is disturbing that Prof Ferguson, aka Wormtongue, is saying “Silly me, we have to live with the virus now.” Also Iceland’s mouthpiece for Gates saying similar… although both want to jab all the kids still of course.
It’s a new narrative from them, Perhaps to distance themselves from what happens this autumn – “Oooh, fancy, I’m shocked, people already vaccinated are dying from Covid… it is clearly down to the new variant! We need extreme measures.”
What it isn’t is Wormtongue speaking honestly.
Not honestly. But jumping on what he thinks is the correct bandwagon.
Neil Ferguson predicted Leicester would beat Manchester City 1500 – 1495 in the Charity Shield…..
ferguson has predicted the scamdemic will be over by october – be afraid, be very afraid!
The only major question is where the next Scariant will originate – we know there will be one, and we know that the fearmongering will be unconnected to any actual risk…
Well they could all be called the Downing Street variant, because that is where they will all originate from, one way or another.
I hear the Lamda Scariant will create the need for HMGov. to protect us all. Thank the Good Lord for Doris and Crew – who knows what kind of state we’d be in without them… Oh wait! Yes I know – Free and Happy.
I’m ‘not ruling out’ locking Sturgeon up, or down, either.
yeah, that’s right, you’re controlling the virus – hilarious
“Keeping this virus under control….”
Bunch of Cnuts trying to order the viral tide out.
Speaking of tides,
I have a friend who was at Uni with the little witch Mrs Sturgeon.
He says she was nicknamed Seaweed.
Even the tide would not take her out.
I’m sorry -that did make me laugh.
Glad to see we spotted that. Whenever you see “the virus”, replace it with “the populace” and everything makes sense.
Control, defeat, suppress, it all works.
Yep, and “safe”….aka “controlled”.
They have absolutely no idea what they’re doing, none!
There’s only two alternatives :
either :
‘Very Stupid’
or :
‘Very Evil’.
Perhaps both
Even if one was daft enough to accept the notion of ‘keeping the virus under control’, the obvious conclusion is that this silly (and dangerous) woman has failed abysmally by the methods she has employed.
The club of covid-beclowned politicians and experts worldwide would fill several Boeing 777s. Which, with any luck, would follow MH370’s example and disappear without trace.
Stupid or evil?
An interesting question. We’ve established that intelligence is no guarantee against gullibility, but do politicians believe their own lies?
I think it’s possible but I don’t know as I’m not a serial liar. I’ve seen people lie in my professional life and I think at least sometimes the liars start by convincing themselves that their lies are true. They probably feel less guilty as a result and are less easily found out. But we’re talking about white lies or at least not huge, evil lies. I struggle to believe that they are not very conscious they are telling whoppers. I expect they develop the skill of not really thinking about it too much, while at the same time being careful to keep the deception from being exposed. I’d love to see an honest account of this from someone in the know.
It’s doublethink: ‘the art of holding two contradictory beliefs in your mind, knowing them to be contradictory and believing both of them.’
Yes
Not something I have mastered, not knowingly anyway
In the book, O’Brien is quite honest with Winston about what’s going on. What we don’t know is to what extent do our leaders and the rest of the cabal lie knowingly. I cannot believe that Vallance and Whitty believe the nonsense they come out with.
Neither can I. That graph they presented to us last year, showing 4000 deaths per day as a possibility, was so wrong that they cannot possibly have believed it was possible. It would have required half a million infections plus every day, and yet they sat there with straight faces.
My guess is that people like Vallance, Whitty etc have been persuaded that somehow, the exaggeration of fears about Covid is necessary to remould society in order to prevent genuine pandemics in the future, or ‘climate disasters’ or some such, and they could be going along with this believing it is for the ‘greater good’ (although this would require considerable mental gymnastics).
I think with politicians there’s a lot of ‘keeping up appearances’ (only without the humour of Pat Routledge). Ie, they have to appear in control and will backtrack, lie, obfuscate etc in order to maintain that illusion of control. Somebody, possibly George Orwell, wrote that one of the reasons the British Empire ended was because the middle classes lost their appetite/ability for maintaining that illusion of control in front of the subject peoples.
Both, definitely.
Fr. Jamie on the Irreverend podcast this week made a good point – that the whole Covid theatre is run by a very narrow demographic of people who are stupid enough to believe the narrative, but clever enough to be able to defend it. I suspect Sturgeon is in that category.
Said without a hint of irony by a women that just announced to keep a load of restrictions with no end date in sight.
Welcome to the New Normal. This is as far as Freedom goes in the Democratic People’s Republic of Caledonia, and we’re just to get used to it.
From here on, it’ll just be a steady, gradual creeping increase in oppression again, starting with our own Social Credit Score apps. I assume the only thing preventing them so far is that Sturgeon refuses to use the English one, and is picking a crony or relative to receive the contract for cloning the EU or CCP version.
Good girl. We’ll have a nice job for you here at the EU if things don’t quite work out. Build back better Nicky.
And the madness continues….

Good luck with Nicola, Scots. Australia has a political heroine.
NSW Liberal MP Tanya Davies says there are “serious concerns about privacy” if businesses and the government introduce COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Bonus: Sharri Markson demonstrates why losing Sky News Australia for a week was no great loss.
It’s so blatently a symbolic muzzle, the mask. I don’t know why more people don’t see it. It creeps me out.
Shhh.
i’m trying to sell her some malaria nets
Dam, you’ve got a finer mesh than my old football nets I’m flogging .
Madness isn’t it? I now, (more often since 19/7), see some people with them just over their mouths which is bizarre. I find myself sitting in the cafe watching folk with their little comfort blankets. The ritual of ordering with a mask on, sitting down and taking it off, putting it back on to collect their drinks, taking it off when sitting down again, putting it on to select a paper to read, off again to sit down, then on again for the 4-5 steps to the exit and finally off when outside, (mostly), must surely be behavioural- no sane person could possibly think that this could affect a virus in any way- especially given the variety of masks, the way the things are handled, left on tables, etc. It’s so obviously pointless and yet the majority still do it. On the train station platform, there are messages constantly imploring us to wear masks to consider others, respect others, keep everyone safe, etc. but not one mention of them being effective at stopping the virus. It’s constant propaganda and the message is clear- I don’t care because I don’t wear one. Sorry, but I have to respect myself before I… Read more »
It’s just become a normal behaviour. Remember that until very recently, it was considered perfectly ‘normal’ to sit down at a pub table and take out a roll of paper containing the dried leaves of a plant, set fire to it and inhale the smoke. Nothing rational about it, it was just accepted.
My wife misses those days…
A 24-carat authoritarian who has been loving every minute of the extra control she has been able to exert. And don’t get me started on the appalling Humza Yousaf and his Stasi-esque ‘Hate Crimes Bill’ rubbish. And now he’s got the Health portfolio.
Scotland is a Kafkawellian nightmare these days. Every aspect of civic life has been poisoned by the appalling SNP, every part of the state bent and twisted in pursuit of their vile, moronic ends.
I am appropriating Kafkawellian for the struggling proletariat, comrade-pal.
Yes.. and an ugly bitch to boot..
Apparently in uni she was called seaweed as not even the tide would take her out
Can’t let go of the muzzles, the visible sign of control. The DM also can’t let go of its propaganda, which is now leading from the daily death of a non vaxxer to climate change
Yeah, I’ve noticed that. Everyday there is a ‘I-wish-I-had-the-vaccine-but-it’s-too-late-because-I’m-now-dead’ story.
All part of the state sponsored propaganda campaign.
Agree, but interesting that the best rated reader’s comment on today’s DM headline article about the Portuguese fatalities.

This suggests that a large number of DM readers are seeing through the propaganda and are not buying it anymore
It also suggests that the 77th have targeted sites such as the DM. The comments against todays protestors in London have an eerily similar tone.
Not just the DM. Same shit all over the world:

wow. and they say it’s “anti-vaxxers” that are making shit up.
it’s always projection and it’s all the time.
Lock step..
Despicable excuse for journalism. They never publish a story of a RTA death with a suggestion that we all stop driving or travelling in cars.
amazing how all these youngsters are suddenly dying when none of them died prior to the miracle cure being available. Today’s lot are conveniently in Portugal making it just that little bit more difficult to check if they actually exist or not.
Indeed, but they can’t really be called youngsters. The reality is that they are very much exceptions and by no means the norm. My mother is worried about me because of ‘all these unvaccinated people now dying’. I had to give her another lesson in perspective and propaganda.
Afternoon, rational extremists.
So, here were are, in Free Caledonia, now at Level -1.
Still muzzled, still begging Queen Nicola for permission to hold events, still being tracked every time we buy a sandwich or a pint.
Masked while sitting at wedding ceremonies but unmasked while sitting at the reception – but God help you if you stand up to make a toast without putting your muzzle back on.
Still utterly unclear on what, if anything, the distinction between a nightclub and a pub is, and whether punters tonight will be standing around quietly, muzzles on, not approaching the bar, and swaying to their imaginations if music remains verboten.
Oor Greet Leader has no intention of giving up power, and has never intended to control “the virus”, only the proles.
Report: 14 Israelis have caught COVID-19 despite receiving booster shot
8 August 2021, 5:55 pm
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/report-14-israelis-have-caught-covid-19-despite-receiving-booster-shot/
Internal Health Ministry data shows that 14 Israelis have been infected with COVID-19 a week after receiving a booster shot, Channel 12 news reports.
The network says 11 of those infected are over the age of 60 — two of whom have now been hospitalized — while the other three got their third dose because they are immunocompromised.
If confirmed in larger samples, the figures could cast doubt on the effectiveness of the booster shot, which Israel has started administering before major health bodies around the world have approved it.
Of course Nicola Ceausescu won’t rule out further lockdowns, she’d make them permanent if she thought she could get away with it.
I’m loathe to defend politicians, particaurlarly throughout this artificial and fabricated ‘crisis’ but they seldom rule anything out even in normal times. It is a cheap journalistic trick designed to provoke public reaction which always works.
Why would anyone rule anything out?
Heh, best photo of the Northern Witch that I have seen for ages. Now, if she could just be persuaded to wear dark glasses … !
If she looked like Sharon Stone, it would not be a virtue.
A beautiful totalitarian is still a totalitarian.
This is the best video you will ever watch about the virus, how it spreads, how the vaccines don’t work and are in fact making matters worse and how governments and politicians are promising the impossible – watch it and share it as much as possible.
This is what we need right now – hero’s standing up and speaking the truth.
Governments have convinced themselves and the public that they can defeat this virus – it will never happen – this is why we are all over the place and implementing measures and restictions that do not work and never will – this is why nothing works – this is why we are still seeing rises is cases – this virus like any other respiratory virus (flu, colds etc) is not going away and never will – in fact those who are being vaccinated right now are wasting there time and deluding themselves into thinking they are safe and immune when in fact they are probably the biggest spreaders of the virus variants.
Fantastic video … a must watch and as I say – please share it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUPD0W71iMc
I’m afraid governments haven’t convinced themselves of anything.. they’re acting out a script.. lying.. following the orders of a sick, devious cabal who’ve been planning what we’re experiencing now for decades..
I think it’s opportunistic but agree that they know very well they can’t control a virus
Just looks like a power grab to me
Excellent! This should be shared as far and wide as possible. Copy it before YouTube takes it down.
Too late, gone
Very good, rare, watchable, to-the-point non-waffling video. Thank you.
It’s been removed from YouTube.
Yellow-Card data 28th July 2021
Looking at that picture of the fish I can’t help thinking of what’s festering in the damp confines of that warm tartan muzzle.
Could’ve done without seeing that thing – time for a walk I’d say.
Imagine a nice sturdy kilt pin securing that piece of tartan.
Will our country ever waken up? Will we ever think for ourselves again? Or are we simply going to keep accepting whatever the dictatorship chooses to inflict on us, and be grateful for the pitiful existence it is our privilege to enjoy.
I’ve seen people moaning about Nicola Sturgeon for months now. I think that’s the best we’re going to get. Moan, moan, moan – and no-one will actually do anything apart from some more moaning. Keep on moaning – she’s not going away.
OT. These are posters just put up in France for Vaccine Passports … look when they were printed:
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZsBBwXZbP53KBC5I87CxLR7RF2dlfulBzby
This is a set up, for us to fall for and look stupid. Sadly a lot of people/sceptics already have apparently. The poster has been printed and laminated from French govt publicity document templates available online, with the false date combo etc. Apparently you can tell it’s not the real thing because it doesn’t follow ‘French govt house-style guidelines’ for layout etc.
Update/postscript: it may not be deliberate; the errors in date and house style may be innocent publication mistakes/hasty central press office errors, according to French journal “liberation” and they’ve just been leaped on by people who’ve become hypersensitive to any signs of govt manipulation and deception, as yet more proof of that, and with good reason, but perhaps not in this case.
They used an old template and failed to update all parts of it. https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/pourquoi-la-date-du-20-janvier-2020-apparait-elle-sur-des-affiches-pedagogiques-sur-le-pass-sanitaire-20210802_J7QQ73R6NZD75LJR5GT4AV5LWM/
Thanks for the correction!
I’m an expat Scot and I’m afraid my next visit to Scotland will likely be my last.
The SNP have destroyed my country.
Can’t you get Bob to do a cartoon of the monster, instead of shoving its hideous non-face at us?
One could almost believe Sturgeon was governing people on behalf of a virus which elected her.
In Biden’s case that would be true.
Police clash with anti-vaccine protesters as they descend on BBC

Worth checking out best rated readers comments!
Scary how many 77th commentators there are, though.
There were minor scuffles, and no arrests made. It amounted to nothing. Now they’re at Broadcasting House, things are getting heated but they are just about keeping a lid on it, despite the police and usual agitators. Over 5,000 watching currently on Resistance GB, figures the BBC can only dream of these days!
That muzzle cannot be hygienic
Looks quite clean on the outside. Inside it would be like well-worn thermal underpants.
Don’t worry, she only wore for the two seconds it took to take the photo.
I was in Scotland earlier in the year for my “staycation” (god help me). I had a lovely time all in all, but the mad maskers were everywhere. I exempted myself a long time ago and in my city I have never been challenged. Maybe I have been lucky. Visiting Edinburgh castle, I was asked to put a mask on 3 times in about half an hour. I was asked in every hospitality establishment I went to. After saying I was exempt, one girl even said “where’s your lanyard then?”. On one train between Arrochar and Edinburgh, the tanoy announcement said words to the effect of “masks are mandatory blah blah, we are checking the cameras so we have evidence of rule breakers etc”. Sturgeon’s on a mad one.
“one girl even said “where’s your lanyard then?””
Did you ask her if she had herpes? And if yes, why doesn’t she have a sign round her neck declaring it?

“I am kicking myself very hard – possibly harder than my worst critic ever could – but more importantly I’ll be making sure I don’t drop my guard again.” Just pathetic. Grovelling over a prop, to placate who? Is this what it’s come to?
