Ministers Considering Bringing Back Mask Mandates

Reports suggest that ministers are concerned by the supposed lack of people wearing face masks, despite telling Brits it is now a matter of personal choice, and are considering reintroducing mandates for indoor public spaces if “things are getting increasingly difficult in the NHS” this winter. The Mail has the story.

Ministers are now concerned by falling compliance in supermarkets, trains and buses amid rising infection levels. Yesterday there were another 37,622 Covid cases and 147 deaths.

There are also 8,098 patients in hospital with the virus – a six-month high and a rise of 6% in a week.

Although Government sources insist a mask mandate is not imminent, the fact it is being considered will concern Tory backbenchers.

They are already angry at being asked to renew the emergency Covid powers that allow ministers to impose restrictions.

A source said: “We are looking to strengthen guidance on masks if it gets to the point where things are getting increasingly difficult in the NHS.

“We expect and recommend that members of the public continue to wear face coverings in crowded and enclosed spaces where you come into contact with people you don’t normally meet – for example, on public transport.”

Next week the Prime Minister will publish a winter Covid plan, expected to include plans for coronavirus vaccine booster shots and the biggest flu jab roll-out in history to ease pressure on the NHS. 

But at the same time he will urge MPs to extend the 2020 Coronavirus Act which gives ministers the powers to bring back restrictions if cases rise to unsustainable levels. 

Steve Baker, Deputy Chairman of the Covid Recovery Group of anti-lockdown Tory MPs, said he would vote against any extension to “egregious” Covid powers. …

“Once again the Government isn’t willing to give up powers once they have been gained.” …

Mr. Johnson has told ministers another lockdown is out of the question and has ordered the Government to do everything possible to avoid future restrictions.

Well they’re building the camps. Called Super-prisons. Supposed to be for ~1500 people each but look like they could take 10x that. Even that won’t be enough but luckily at least one is already next to a crematorium.

I wore neither a mask or a lanyard. I was never challenged. The limit was a few death stares which were swiftly dealt with by looking them square in the eye and smiling. They immediately stopped staring and shuffled off.

I started wearing a mask in supermarkets that I could not avoid going into simply because I was sick of having rows with moronic shop assistants and ‘security’ guards who thought that the power to be an irritation meant their word was law and they were my masters and mistresses.

Bad move. You caved in on your rights. Only police, tranport police, PSCOs and people specifically designated by SoS for Health were allowed to query lack of mask use. Anyone else was committing one or more civil offenses against you, punishable by fines of up to £5000 to £9000. The store itself has a duty to protect you from harrassment.

https://laworfiction.com/2020/07/face-covering-litigation-threats-and-administrative-headache/

“The government advice is not to challenge people to wear a face covering:

This is for GOOD REASON. If you do so, you and your employees may be PERSONALLY LIABLE for AN OFFENCE liable on summary conviction to pay a fine of up to £5,000 – section 112 (Aiding contraventions) of the Equality Act 2010

AN ACT OF DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION and be ordered to pay to any individual who suffers injury to feelings compensation between £900 and £9,000 – section 119 (Remedies) of the Equality Act 2010”

I honestly believe it is about bringing in a new economic system. The present one is due to collapse under the huge weight of debt. Fiat currencies always collapse. So this mad printing is a final ‘wealth’ grab before they start to implement the next phase. The vaccines are ultimately about people quitting their jobs rather than be forced to get it. With MSM’s already crippled, Boris selected NI as the next tax hike just to punch MSM’s in the face again. The next lockdowns will be blamed on the unvaxxed. Then the mandates will come in. Which will lead to the next crisis. Supply chain break downs. Empty shops. Sky high unemployment and whacking interest rates. A new ‘stabilising’ global currency will be introduced, which will be digital. In time it will be linked to your vaccination status perhaps. The overall end game is still fuzzy, though 2 things are certain. The present monetary system is well overdue its collapse. And governments are going their level best to destroy their own economies, in the name of protecting people. The one thing that has thrown me off regarding the vaccines, is the mad rush to vaccinate children. I don’t think… Read more »

I do think you are wrong. Populations implement self control. The bigger the population, the easier it is to control. Weak minded people plied with decades of anxiety and the removal of their societal identity are easy to manipulate. Then these drones go outside and regulate the behaviour of the fence sitters. Raising your head above the parapet and saying society is wrong takes both integrity and courage. And the larger the population, the more drowning noise there is.
Where is sanity most likely to be heard, when 1 in 100 takes sane, or 100 in 10,000?

The present monetary system also puts great emphasis on growing populations. I believe the new system will be based the same way. Each person is something of value they can exploit.

And it serves absolutely no interest for big pharma to develop something that will kill off their customer base.

Now here is the real kicker in the vaccines are about depopulation theory. Why would they want to kill off all the sheep, but keep alive all the lions? It surely would be the other way around right?

The new system won’t be based on growing populations, but on marshalling finite resources.

Real world experience shows that smaller populations are easy to control, too: NZ, Israel and Australia being prime examples. China and Japan are large and controlled very effectively, probably owing to cultural attitudes of conformity.

Smaller populations in countries make the imposition of renewables, etc, much more realistic, too.

The aim to reduce the world’s population to approximately 700 million has been mooted by the elite for decades – the Georgia Guidestones are a bit of a clue – and we now have their aim to jab everyone in the world with an experimental, novel treatment – aren’t alarm bells ringing yet? Or do you still believe that governments have your welfare at heart?

Are you actually directing those last 2 questions at me? I thought I had plainly demonstrated in my assertions that the government certainly doesn’t have our welfare at heart. Just because I disagree with you on the end game, please don’t place me on the side of the sheep. I have looked into that theory. I look into every theory presented. And I am allowed my own opinion. There are multiple things happening at the same time that makes me believe its much more about a change of system and control, than depopulation. The finite resources argument is far from a settled issue. It has been something discussed since the 50’s, and yet the West still finds itself very bloated in resources, as does parts of the former third world. One solid argument is that the worlds population would naturally level off as resources start a downward curve. A mutual natural plateau. Though feel free to disagree with that too. You still haven’t answered my point regarding killing the sheep while keeping alive the lions. So here is another one. Why be so elaborate? Why not skip the vaccines and just have a killer virus?

I did concede in my original post that the rush and desire to vaccinate children has thrown me a curve ball a bit. The WHO has eradicated smallpox by identfying outbreaks and vaccinating everyone who was in contact with the person who got smallpox. The WHO has been busy with eradicating polio by applying the same method for the last sixty years albeit without success (it is claimed that Afghanistan and Pakistan would be the two last countries where infections with wild poliovirus occur). There’s a new and fairly uncommon disease on the block. What else would the WHO try to do then eradicate it via a global vaccination campaign before it becomes endemic? These people do not think in term of individual health outcomes, only in the summary effect of reducing the chances of a virus to replicate: Every person vaccinated reduces the chances somewhat, hence, every person must be vaccinated. More so, if the current round of vaccines don’t prevent virus replication reliably enough to prevent transmission. Future vaccines might, hence, the time to set a precedent that vaccination is optional is certainly not now. These people are also oblivious to vaccine side effect: An interesting property of… Read more »

There is no drowning noise from the overwhelming mass of the population, which is why vocal sceptics and dissidents are having no real effect on the progress of the Great Reset. I believe that the voice of sanity hasn’t a chance of halting and reversing what we are going through, all that can stop it is worldwide mutinies by the armed forces of the major powers and the bloody rebellions that follow, and I’m not hopeful of those happening. There is no point in changing the basis of the economy without global depopulation. Money is about control and in the new economy there isn’t going to be enough money to go round. Those who cannot be controlled with money must be destroyed. Big Pharma is simply partying like it’s 1999 until the music stops, when most of those making currently making hay will go into the grinder with us. The wolves want to slaughter the sheep because overpopulation and overconsumption are the two pressing problems confronting humanity and ‘we’ cannot go on producing consumers who have no other function. The exercise of total power does not require a vast and growing population creating ever more insoluble social and environmental problems.… Read more »

Debt globally is a big concern, but I remain to be convinced of the deliberate destruction of the world’s economies. Over USD 15 trillion worth of Government debt instruments stood on negative yields – this has massive implications for bond issuers, holders and if this does not change, the holders do not sell, implies massive losses on maturity. This ignores “Corporate” set instruments; low interest rates and QE are the drivers. Japan in the 1980’s controlled a vast amount of the worlds money supply, its major banks were at one time “valued” greater than the then US Stockmarket – then deflation hit. Fast forward to today and substitute “China” for “Japan”. Financial markets are a house of cards and are dominated by “herd instinct” behaviour. Perhaps the “Soros/Gates/Bezos type billionaires have been talking up markets to send out and dive back in once the herd starts selling… been done before. Controlling this juggernaut is impossible hence why I don’t buy the intent – but I don’t deny who will benefit if when the shit hits the fan.

The Bank of England is a private for-profit entity, with the UK Government as a reluctantly-admitted minor shareholder. These Central Banks are key enablers of all the financial terrorism around the world, coordinated by the World Bank and the IMF. The trick is to get governments to take on loans that they can’t afford to repay, then bleed them to death via expropriation of all tangible assets. The victims end up owning nothing.

Guess who allowed the UK to up its spending limit to finance its response to Covid-19? Yup, the friendly, caring Bank of England.

How does anyone know? The tests used aren’t able to distinguish between influenza and sars, and that is before you examine the claims that someone was prevented from being hospitalised ‘cos they were jabbed rather than anything else such as being told on the phone that “you aren’t sick, take a paracetamol” by someone reading a script. And underlying all this is the fact that the UK decided in March last year that this wasn’t a dangerous pathogen as it was only hospitalising and killing those who were already at death’s door, and that was largely due to the failure of the medical services around the World to treat early with procedures known to work on respiratory illness, but to wait until people were very seriously ill before doing anything. Remember too that the numbers you are quoting come from trials where the Pharma companies were judge and jury and that even then these %ages are Relative Reduction figures not Absolute Reduction. Typically a drug or procedure will not be given a medical use approval unless it has an efficacy of more than 50%, and in the face of Delta and Lamda variants the Pfizer jab stands at 38% making… Read more »

The problem with “vaccine efficacy” is that it’s all based on interpreting correlations and that so far, all numbers published on this have been differing wildly. When you get a different result whenever someone else looks at some data supposed to show the same effect, the simple explanation would be “happened by chance”.

Something that’s absolutely certain is hat “vaccine efficacy” is not good enough that anybody proposing this or that Chinese miracle cure against COVID has stopped demanding that his particular pet policy must be implemented. And that’s what really matters. I survived the flu-from-hell in November 2019 and two lengthy spells of long COVID symptoms starting with a couple of days of light fever. And I want my life back.

Even if the hospitalization (not death) risk is 1% in the 50-70 year old group, if 25% of hospitalized patients develop longer-term problems, it makes sense to cut that risk by 80-90% through vaccination. The risk of problems from vaccination is 100x smaller than from infection (which you are very likely to get at some point, regardless of age). So unlike with political bs such as masks, lockdowns and passports, with vaccines it’s just about understanding numbers. You can twist them however you like, but you won’t be able to prove that unvaccinated are better off when it comes to COVID-19.

If you don’t wash your hands 3x per exchange of a mask, use sterile ones only for that exchange and always exchange them correctly as such after having spoken more than 2 sentences when wearing one, you have plenty of sh*t in your mouth too, and no dentist or dental hygiene can prevent that.
And I haven’t even touched upon the filthy mor*ns who also wear them under the chin, or pull them out of their bags and pockets or from tne rear view mirror, which seem to amount to at least 95% of the mask wearers I encountered.

I agree. Most masks that I’ve seen put on are taken from pockets, bags, glove compartments, car door pockets, or even from being looped round a wrist. Hands are never washed before or after, and every mask looks as if it’s been around the tracks more often than a whippet at White City.
Also, the maskee constantly fiddles with them and adjusts them, have you noticed? The free faced are the only ones who don’t constantly touch their faces while shopping. I reckon we are far more hygienic in our practices!

Another lockdown is out of the question, hoping people won’t remember that Kim Jong Johnson credited lockdown with doing more to stop the virus than vaccines have.

You can guarantee there will be another lockdown soon, judging by his evil track record.

Sure. Masks are the best way to keep up the fear, cases, other illnesses and emergency powers in place.

We now have proper scientific evidence that universal mask wearing has pretty much no effect (fabric masks) or a very mild beneficial impact (<10% reduction in cases, for disposable surgical masks).

Yet the politicians hang on to masks as though they’re the thread holding us back from disaster.

Seeing as there is no evidence of them doing anything, and they’ve vaccinated vast numbers of the population and given them (supposedly) a fair level of protection against serious-covid, why are they continuing with their demands for mask wearing?

But then again, politicians are the least likely people to say ‘actually, I made a mistake, we should have done the opposite’, so I’m not holding my breath for signs of them actually starting to act within a logical framework based on scientific evidence.

Right, this is where the real pushback begins, with their sick Obedient-Bitch mask “mandates” being totally overturned by the public. I think they really thought that everyone had fallen under the spell of the cult, that face nappies had been fully embraced, to be continually worn, and the compliant napped calling out, and dissing those who dont. Ha ha, it hasn’t worked has it? The compliant haven’t got the courage to realise they’re being done up like kippers, so they definitely haven’t got the balls to reprimand anyone else, especially when they’re the minority now! So the government clowns think they can bully people and push them down with even more duplicitous lies…again! Sorry, chumps, too many are seeing the truth now. Nothing has worked so far – masks, vaccines, lockdowns, because there is NOTHING to work from! Only layers of lies upon layers of lies, and shoddy structure is crumbling.

My observation is that mask compliance remains pretty high in supermarkets, but there are more and more free faces appearing. Still some cretins wear them outside, but fewer of those too. I find it odd and a bit sad to see people obediently mask up before going into a shop….it’s almost an instinctive response for some of them, I guess. Levels of compliance do vary from place to place though. Shops tend to have signs saying they “recommend” the use of face coverings “if you can” and leave it at that. I march in free faced regardless. I haven’t been challenged until this morning, at a local pharmacy. Sign in window says “Wise Up. Mask Up – your mask protects you, us, and your community”. This pharmacy is like Fort Knox anyway, all plastic screens, assistants in full PPE, and only one dirty punter allowed in at once. I was asked “have you a mask with you today” to which I said “no”. I was then asked if I was exempt, whereupon I said yes. I then pointed put that I had seen 2 mask free people come out, and the reply was “they would have been asked the same… Read more »

So it’s a full admission their shit vaccines don’t work then. Any so called mitigation – masks/distancing, any rise in cases/hospitalisations are absolute confirmation that covid vaccines do absolutely fuck all.

Ministers are now concerned by falling compliance in supermarkets, trains and buses amid rising infection levels. Yesterday there were another 37,622 Covid cases and 147 deaths.

There are also 8,098 patients in hospital with the virus – a six-month high and a rise of 6% in a week.

“with the virus” Just WITH the virus, or with other things but tested positive??? So, we’re back to dodgy testing in general – nothing to do with schools going back, and work place testing? Also, face nappies DO nothing, other than encourage obedience, because even by the thickest person’s reasoning, if they worked why are we being to told wear them -again! Surely, with SO MANY having been vaccinated, with “safe and effective” vaccines this time round, no one needs to nap up now because vaccines work….don’t they???

Can I also ask: How many of these “cases”, deaths, and hospitalisations are with people who have been vaccinated? Just wondering…

(Heavy sarcasm applied throughout.)

He (Johnson) said last month’s events in Afghanistan should strengthen the West’s determination to ‘hold fast to our belief in liberty and democracy’

Pure comedy from the ultimate clown – Johnson is an complete idiot.

Heard him on the radio today: “Prime Minister Boris Johnson has issued a statement to mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, saying terrorism “failed to shake our belief in freedom and democracy”.”
But he failed to add that covid terrorism by our own government has utterly shaken that faith!

Thanks for this, tc.
In an ordinary world, this would be a major scandal that would be on the front pages of every newspaper and the top story for all radio and TV broadcasters. However, given that we’re in the ‘new normal’, where lies, obfuscation and madness reign supreme, I doubt MSM will cover this story at all. I’m simultaneously outraged and depressed – which, sadly, is turning into my default emotional state these days.

Dear MC/TY,

Please may you set up a feed for folks to send links to FoI responses – there must be hundreds of these and from my personal experience, contain the “truth” that this Government does not want folks to see – this will be a golden opportunity to use the enemy’s own “weapons” against them and I am sure a Chinese/Japanese warrior in times gone by wrote about this?

Please report back when the link is “up” (in all seriousness)
