It Would Be “Irresponsible” to Allow All ‘Temporary’ Covid Powers to Expire, Says Prime Minister’s Spokesman
There’s some more news today on the Government’s plan to renew its ‘temporary’ Covid powers, with the Prime Minister’s spokesman saying: “It would obviously be irresponsible to allow all temporary provisions to expire.” The Guardian has the story.
Downing Street signalled its intention to renew the Coronavirus Act later this autumn, although some temporary powers may be allowed to expire.
“It would obviously be irresponsible to allow all temporary provisions to expire. These are provisions that would, if removed, take away the Government’s ability to protect renters from eviction, for example, or to give sick pay to those self-isolating from day one,” Boris Johnson’s spokesman said.
“So it’s important that we take a proportionate approach to the Coronavirus Act because there are elements that do still provide protections for the public.”
Number 10 said some provisions in the wide-ranging legislation may be allowed to expire. “As you know, we’ve allowed temporary powers in the act to expire wherever possible, as we have at previous review points, and we are now, as a result, one of the most open societies in Europe and indeed the world.”
The confirmation is likely to spark some questions from Conservative MPs about whether the Government is reserving the right to introduce new restrictions if cases spike later this year.
Johnson’s spokesman said it was “fair to say” a rise in cases was inevitable this autumn, based on the scientific advice.

The ” Emergency ” has passed, so too should the powers to deal with it.
The emergency is that these loons are in charge of the country.
Boris Johnson is the most awful human being ever to become Prime Minister. Worse than all others put together. Far more left wing all six Labour Prime Minsters put together.

What “emergency”?
As said by TheyLiveAndWeLockdown above, the emergency is a political one and the crimes… murder they have administered by policy.
Income Tax was a temporary tax brought in during the Napoleonic Wars, somehow temporary has a different meaning for Parliament
Yes. Now what is the parliamentary meaning?… Oh yes… Permanent!
They can’t administer vaccines under EUA while there is still an emergency, hence extending them to keep pumping them out.
The UK has its own regulations for the authorisation of the AZ vaccine under a temporary authorisation (Regulation 174) and nowhere in that document does it mention any requirement for there to be an emergency declared before the drug can be administered. This is not the US.
The “Emergency” will never pass.
This is known as ‘rolling the pitch’ in the trade I think.
Whereas I should like to roll them in pitch.
Don’t forget the feathers.
Heil Boris.

Fucking scary, and that’s without the moustache.
Just needs the brown uniform
Let’s face it he meets all the ayrian characteristics as prized by Hitler
Problem is that the whole rotten bunch of elected MPs, with a few noble exceptions, are collaborating in this. It is worldwide.
Explain to me why we cannot have a readied debate when and if the crisis returns, be it in personal Parliament or video. It won’t sneak up on you, you request powers when needed. Blank checks be it in Australia, China or New York have not worked out. Of course one of those three doesn’t have to worry about democracy. Could it be the others don’t want to either, and out PM wishes he could be Premier Xi?
10 years time we will still be under emergency measures.
No we won’t, as we will have been genocided by then, that’s if we let them get away with it. MPs will be of no help and are very much part of the problem.
Give ’em an inch and they take a mile. Not surprised
It would be irresponsible NOT to let the ’emergency’ dictatorship expire
Time to fight for our lives
Boris and his co conspirators are puppets of a danger never seen in our history – they threaten life itself
Yes indeed, though many people, even on this website do not have any real idea of the extent of the catastrophe that is being engineered for virtually the whole of humanity.

“It would obviously be irresponsible to allow all temporary provisions to be temporary.”
There, that more accurately reflects the intention.

would it be responsible to inject children who are at no real risk from covid with an experimental concoction of stuff that we know is causing real harm – just for political reasons?
If there’s one thing we must all take away from this debacle is to never trust the government, pharmacutical companies, experts, the medical profession and the main stream media, ever, ever, again!
I never did much trust any of these organisations, too aware of how your life, family, property and business can be taken away by “the state”. However, my hope is that thousands of others have had their eyes opened to the sheer hostility of the state and other vested interests towards individuals. Give an inch, and they take a mile. Of course all these regulations need to go, and a whole bunch more besides.
Yet even now, people are still rationalising the lies. No matter how disingenuous the politician if it ‘keeps us safe’ then any calumny is excused. How can people not see what is happening?
I honestly don’t think I can take another lockdown. The waves of mask wearing stupidity that will accompany it. The endless crappy idiocy about the terrifying virus and our NHS heroes is already giving me the dry heave.
Agreed – and it will be even harder to stomach knowing that it is all fabricated and that there is zero justification for it. People unfortunately do not see through it – you wouldn’t unless you frequent sites like this. I recently had occasion to be watching my regional evening news programme in the company of some elderly relatives, both of whom expressed terror when the nightly “deaths” were announced. I had to leave the room; I just couldn’t watch any more of the agenda driven covid narrative and would only have ended up saying something, putting me at odds with the elderly rellies. People. Simply. Do. Not. See. It. For the life of me I cannot work out why. Why is it that I can?
No idea Milo- I’m in exactly the same situation with relatives at the coast staying at home because ‘it just isn’t safe with all those stupid holidaymakers’. I’ve always been the same and always wondered why so many people are so gullible.
I never have and never will trust politicians. As Billy Connolly said, ‘The desire to be a politician should automatically bar you for life from being a politician.’ Also, ‘Don’t vote- it just encourages them.’
So true
There was a time when I believed that politicians were principled people bent on achieving what they saw as best for the country. Not that I’d necessarily agree with them all but at least thinking they were sincere within the parameters of their own ‘-ism’. However as I have aged I have become more cynical and have come to the conclusion that politicians are, by definition, self-serving shysters who only want the best for themselves, and the country can go hang.
I was also beginning to realise that many professional institutions, research organisations etc were also only acting in their own best interests: an eye to the next research grant etc, rather than attempting to improve the lot of mankind or the planet. This past 18 months has accelerated this realisation and I now look at any official pronouncement whether it be from a politician, scientist, banker, journalist etc as being inherently untrustworthy and certainly not to be acted upon or taken at face value.
This leads me to conclude that we have reached the end of society as we know it and the next stage is a gradual slide into anarchy.
Not being smug, but I reached that conclusion between 2008 and 2011……
What took you so long?!
An undiluted respect for and trust in my elders ( gained from a few experiences from which I did “gain” something of value, not monetary) until the shit hit the fan #1; it dissolved rapidly and then vanished never to return.
It’s just weasel words isn’t it. “there are no plans” doesn’t mean they don’t intend to do something it just means they haven’t specifically planned it as yet. He might have added “..but there are intentions” under his breath.
Although, to be fair, even a categoric “we will not introduce vaccine passports, ever” would not be believable coming from a politician’s mouth 🙁
My concern is that they know compliance will have wained and something even nastier is being planned.
The man is a fraud and pathological liar – a ruthless tyrannical authoritarian who hides behind a bumbling buffon act to fool the public that he is a harmless jester – a man of the people – a new Winston Churchill .. when in fact he is more like an anglo version of that horror clown Idi Amin. The man a is the biggest threat to the liberty and freedoms of this country since the rise of Third Reich in Nazi Germany.
He must go and take his totalitarian regime with him … before its too late.
Albino Amin.
Fuck me yes, I’d forgotten Amin.
The Act of Suppressacy 2021
So, what do our dear friends in Sage have to do next? MEMO We see that the cowards in charge of vaccine certification are too scared of injuring and killing a few children to obey orders. They will be dealt with later. The Plan cannot be paused because of them. Follow the Israeli blueprint: modelling and data will show a terrifying leap in cases. Then deaths. You already know how this is done. Michie is poised to crank up fear by a factor of 100 as cases rise, so the little dears will be in masks and begging for our noble vaccines by November at the latest. Deaths will peak around Christmas, and the citizens will themselves request lockdowns. Meanwhile the 20 per cent refusing to comply have been usefully identified as unsuited to be citizens of the new happy order. They are to feel their pariah status, be despised, rejected, unemployed, cut off from the internet, starving, refused medical care. There will be few surviving in five years time, and their identities, facial features and heartbeats are already logged. Do not falter now. The future survival of the world depends on it, and the shareholders of Pfizer support you… Read more »
Sadly, I fear this is a long way from satire.
I’m predicting people queuing up for their booster shots and then telling the waiting journos how relieved they feel now that they are “safe”.
It’s looking like it will be a long winter again!!!
It is long, long past time that our entire political class should have their fucking heads smashed in with shovels and then fed to pigs.
If you get any downvotes it’s from people that like pigs.
This is very unfair to pigs.
I’ll second that!
When it comes to being irresponsible I think think the fat controller has surpassed himself on all counts over the past 18 months.
Based on previous and current performance, I guess that the controlled opposition leader Baron von Starmer will support the prime minister on this?
The transition to marshall law is a lot easier to invoke under emergency legislation.
No, it would obviously be totalitarian to continue with these allegedly temporary powers.
Kim Jong Johnson can fuck right off and Toby Young should stop pretending the great fat communist fraud is an opponent of lockdown.
Can we save this prophecy post.
There will be a new scariant and or event before the end of the temporary powers they will use to justify keeping them. Same for Sco, Wal and NI.
I hope I’m wrong.
A government with an 80-seat majority need ‘emergency powers’ to get things done.
Its ********* irresponsible to continue…Take action and stop this puppet now.
They want to extend (permanently) them to give cover for their ‘firebreak lockdown’ at the end of October, then they’ll be yet another at Christmas (after last year’s was ‘called off’, Alan Rickman style).
I think if they do that, then it will be THE turning point in all this for the ‘normie’ General Public’ who have been dutifully folling the ‘rules’ like slaves. Everyone has their limit to what they can take.
Get this monster out!!
“It would obviously be irresponsible to allow all temporary provisions to expire.”
Why would it?…. how long did it take the clowns in parliament to award themselves the emergency powers the first time around? I seriously doubt it would take them even that long to re-impose them if they ever considered it necessary again. Don’t you just hanker after the days of a hung parliament and an effective opposition.
Once Power is taken its never given back
Face it folks we are now a Dictatorship
Just ask the mps who have to vote on tax rises for which they haven’t even seen the proposal yet and for which they are given no time to debate.
What is the point now of an mp?
They have as much influence as to what goes on as my dog does.
