Vaccine Passports, Mask Mandates and Another Lockdown All on the Cards If Covid Infections Don’t Stay Low This Winter
Just days after it led the public into believing that plans for vaccine passports were off the table, the Government has announced that they will be introduced – along with mask mandates and potentially another full lockdown – if booster jabs and vaccines for healthy teenagers fail to keep Covid infections down this winter. Laying out its new plans, the Government said it is “committed to taking whatever action is necessary to protect the NHS”. MailOnline has the story.
Fronting a press conference alongside Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance, the Prime Minister insisted that the U.K. was “incomparably” better placed to deal with the disease this year.
He said he hoped the situation could be kept stable with more jabs and the public behaving sensibly – although ministers have made clear another lockdown cannot be completely ruled out.
Professor Whitty gave a more downbeat assessment saying that infections were “high” relative to last year, and the NHS was under “extreme pressure” even though vaccines were helping significantly.
Meanwhile, Sir Patrick seemed to send a thinly-veiled message to Mr. Johnson by saying that when it comes to measures to stem cases the lesson was “you have to go earlier than you want to, you have to go harder than you want to”. …
Earlier, Sajid Javid was heckled by Tories admitting that ministers can only give Britons the “best possible chance” of avoiding brutal curbs.
In a statement to MPs, he stressed that vaccines can help “build defences’ against the disease, with boosters for the over-50s and jabs for under-16s starting next week.
But Mr Javid was hit with howls of rage from Conservatives in the Commons as he said the blueprint includes the ‘Plan B’ of making masks compulsory “in certain settings”, more working from home and social distancing if the NHS is under threat.
Vaccine passports will be kept “in reserve” and could be introduced in England with a week’s notice, even though they will not go ahead from next month as originally intended. …
The Winter Plan document lays out the details of ‘Plan A’ and ‘Plan B’. But although it does not go into detail about other contingencies, it states that further steps cannot be ruled out.
“While the Government expects that, with strong engagement from the public and businesses, these contingency measures should be sufficient to reverse a resurgence in autumn or winter, the nature of the virus means it is not possible to give guarantees,” the document says.
“The Government remains committed to taking whatever action is necessary to protect the NHS from being overwhelmed but more harmful economic and social restrictions would only be considered as a last resort.”

Their hold based on an almost comatose compliance is slipping away and they know it .In discussions with colleagues i ask them, did you go to the football,the pub ,the cinema,the nihtclub,??? Yes they replied and Are you ok i asked ,yes they replied ,Will you keep on doing it now you can ,yes they replied .Will you stop in an instant because the government have tried to tell you covid is many many many many more time serious than it actually is ,Not a fucking chance they replied .This will be the change .last year it was believable and served what we thought was the common good .A year later with almost everyone we ever knew still alive ,the risk is evident to all but a few bed wetters who were always afraid of sore throats anyway .Check your experience of Covid not the one you are being told to believe .Only the peple can end this .There are a million levels of compliance needed for this shit show to work .All most of have to do is shake your ow little part of the tree to make soemthing fall out of it.Soon it will become a barren trunk… Read more »
We have to do our bit. But this could take years, if not decades, unless some LEADERS pop up and direct our wrath towards change. Too many people in power positions will cover up their mess or deny it altogether. There has to be a popular revolt or this is permanent.
Not sure leaders are going to help. It’s just projecting everything onto someone we hope will look after us but they invariably end up being corrupt and either useless or dangerous… And it all starts all over again… We need to start leading our own lives – somehow…
It will help. Some form of leadership is needed or we’re just a talking shop going round in circles, which is what they want. Why would our own lives on their own be any more effective? We have to trust in our ability to do more than moan.
In other words, the Govt applied the ‘precautionary principle’, but we’ve now seen through it, and it’s the evil it was predicted to be.
I really wish I could share your optimism – however much I might agree with every sentiment of it – but the brainwashing over a period of almost 19 months now, and which shows no sign of letting up, has just been FAR too effective and successful precisely because the sceptic angle never got a chance to be put to people in the early stages. Everyone I speak to around me is TERRIFIED of covid and believe that it shows no signs of letting up and are worrying about the death figures and the hospitals full of unvaccinated people with covid etc etc I do try, even very weakly (gently does it after all), to put the counterpoint, but if they knew what I really thought of it all (a massive scam on the whole UK population and I could present them with the evidence for that) they would recoil and never speak to me again. We cannot do it on our own in the face of a daily media bombardment of propaganda, and sadly, despite its best efforts, and I applaud them for it, GB news on its own isn’t going to achieve that either. We need a mainstream… Read more »
Better a huge wrestler to squeeze the life from the slimy, sniveling, wimpy, evil, excuse for a human being!
They lied.
What a surprise.
Protect the NHS. Never mind the people.
Always remember, lies may take care of the present but they have no future.
If i may… Protect the *massive money making/laundering scheme that keeps us and our friends significantly richer than you*
a Health operation with a country tied to it. Why don’t we just get rid if the farscilce name the United Kingdom and just rechristen it to the NHS .
I live in the NHS I am a citizen of the NHS.
The NHS is a killing machine and at some point soon it will undoubtedly need protection.
That good ! because we have load of practice at protecting it
Not just lies. This is demonic. This is the biggie.
Unfair to demons, sez I.
and what will the people get for protecting the NHS.They are sensing a distinct lack or reward for their efforts
they’ll get no access to medical treatment, unless of course they have severe covid, and will be left desperately googling their symptoms and perhaps needlessly dying due to lack of access to testing and treatment….
And lied and lied ..and lied; and then they caused their “Precioussssss” NHS to be slaughtered by not mandating early treatments to prevent NHS overload whilst sending legions back to Care Homes w/out any treatment – Hancock guilty as charged – inadequate PPP; Result – people ill with virus had no prophylactic treatments – as in US and elsewhere – affected people get sicker and last resort treatment is in the very setting these truly evil politicians say they want to protect.
More clear than ever that Whitty/Vallance etc are as guilty as Johnson & Co – the are not intellectually thick but they are the personification of the worst kind of appeasers last seen in the 1930’s – and how many millions of people died in WWII as a result?
QUOTE:- I live in the NHS I am a citizen of the NHS. This reminds me of a conversation I had with a late friend about 7 Years ago. He was then in his 80’s and having felt it advisable to have a check up at his GP practice where he was subjected to a process that implied that the NHS actually owned his body! His words to me were “They’re coming to get us, watch out! ” How true those words turned out to be. My feeling is that the NHS has past its day and is THE PROBLEM. The NHS should be reformulated as a free National Emergency Service. The other functions like elective surgery and non critical interventions should be “Pay as you Can” – OK, Means Tested. Before you jump on me for mentioning Means Testing may I make the point that at present we are expected to pay up to out total estate to reside in a care facility for our final years, so why not pay some of our wealth to improve our well being while we can still enjoy some freedoms? After all what’s more important – your wellbeing or a 30K SUV parked in the… Read more »
Considering they are directly manipulating the numbers through policies, and the fact that there doesn’t seem to be any discernible difference between covid and the flu, sounds to me like they will try and to all they can to convince the public that we need vaccine passports.
Correct – the latest ZOE symptom checker suggests the current “variant of covid” is all but indistinguishable from the Virus Previously Known as The Common Cold.
It’s an absolute travesty that MPs just roll over and accept this nonsense trotted out by ministers and their supposed experts.
No doubt they have some incredibly accurate modelling to back up their policies though.
You are the first person who has not shied away for saying that Covid is similar to flu .In th begining there was absolute outrage for suggesting such a thing even though there was no such thing as a covidometer to measure the difference .As it turned out it was very much like the flu and very much like the flu i have just shaken off .I was tested for covid twice ,i ll say they tried damn hard to pin it on me but no, it was flu .Apparently this bug has been around forever and didnt simply just disapper from the earth last year .My own thoughst were that this viscious fucker of a flu bug is in fact worse that covid and given that, they could suddenly give it the attention it has sorely yearned for these last 50,000 years aand make us all stay in now that this isnt just flu (said in M&S sexy food ad voice)this is multi variant triple fatal inter stellar flu so you all better stay in again .For fucks sake in the words of that awful Grange Hill song JUST SAY NO
It ain’t quite the flu, because it is man made, or man adapted, at the expense of US tax payers, to have some especially vicious qualities. Dr Kendrick says deaths he has seen form Covid are unlike any he has seen before. I’m sure he is right.
But for most it’s flu or much less of course.
One person I do trust, Malcolm Kendrick.
Me too. He doesn’t go way beyond the data. It is true that blood disorders appear much more common with “covid19” than with influenza. That’s thought to be wholly down to the superficial spike protein. in terms of infection fatality ratio, I think it’s fair to say that the original SARS-CoV-2 WAS worse than a typical seasonal flu. But as we’ve seen before, the slow mutational drift in SARS-CoV-2 favours its survival, which implies greater transmissibility yet REDUCED lethality. The most recent estimates of IFR of the delta variant is pretty much superimposed in the flu IFR at around 0.1%. As with flu, the VAST majority of those unfortunate enough to die as a result of infection by flu are elderly & already chronically ill. The MAJOR positive which can be laid against SARS-CoV-2 is that it does NOT harm let alone kill children. People seem to have forgotten (if they ever knew it) that flu, while also heavily biased to lethality in those close to the ends of their lives, does injure & kill a small but tragically distinct number of previously healthy YOUNG people. i recall last year looking at causes of death by age band & being… Read more »
Could that be because the chimerically made “virus” has been GoF modified to include a spike protein – that induces the inflammation that ultimately kills – never seen before – isn’t that what Dr K is driving at – a genetically modified SARS variant – deliberately so made and made possible by US tax dollar funded “research” contracted out to China.The crime of any century.
Beautifully expressed!
The NHS is under threat and overburdened every previous winter before Covid due to years of underfunding.
It’s nothing to do with under funding. It is inefficiency and bad management.
It has everything to do with underfunding AND inefficiency and bad management.
Underfunding my arse; out is too big, run by inadequate and incapable people, top heavy with administration empires. Any career military person would sort it out in under two years if the politicos were brave enough to pull the trigger. TOH works in the NHS and I have heard daily tales of ridiculous so called management for many many many years.
In October 2019 before the last general election a political commentator asked voters to speak to someone who works in the NHS and ask them these following questions which all have links proving the facts …… Ask them how they think the £20 billion in NHS cuts between 2010 and 2015 affected the quality of care the NHS could offer, and how another £22 billion in NHS cuts is affecting the quality of care the NHS can offer now. Ask them how they feel about the way the Tories introduced new rules to make it much easier for them to force the closure of NHS services without taking the views of local people or staff into consideration. Ask them whether waiting list times and record waiting times at A&E departments have been rising, and whether they agree with the Tory policy of simply scrapping any waiting list targets that are being missed and scrapping the four hour A&E target instead of actually doing anything to address the dreadful problems they’ve created. Ask them whether they think Theresa May’s decision to scrap NHS bursaries had anything to do with the 31% decline in applications for nursing courses, and the shortfall of… Read more »
Impressive list, and before covid of course.
You could run for politics.
Unfortunately, it no longer matters. Such is the distortion of priorities “because COVID” that it would take a lot more than money ever to restore its reputation as a caring & competent institution.
its my ambition never again to see the inside of an NHS hospital. I don’t bother with my GP either.
Well Googled. I do not disagree but I don’t see any reference to the Blair governments privatisation of the NHS; I do not see any reference to the wholesale scam of PFI – sure started by the Tories – but ramped into interstellar overdrive by….Blair and Brown. If you are “happy” to fund the PFI contracts too expensive to be bought out and requiring annual debt finding even of they no longer provide “services”, please confirm. I don’t see any shade of political opinion having a good handle on this – I am no Tory supporter either – they have both been a disaster for not dismantling it and starting again. Throwing more money at this money-pit is never going to work as I suspect you know. The NHS has been falling apart at the seams for decades; too many services, too few competent managers, management refusing to demand – as they are legally obliged to do – payment by health tourists for their services. In case you are not aware, in times gone by, certain Labour Councils in the UK have backed some NHS Trusts not assiduously chasing this cash. In case you are not aware, some NHS trusts… Read more »
I am no fan of Blair and he did bring in the dreaded PFI’s.
However, New Labour (which I am also not a fan of) to their credit actually increased the funding of the NHS until the Tories came in again to dismantle it.
Health tourism is always going to be a problem until measures are taken for full reimbursement.
Nurses requiring a degree was a Labour decision implemented by the Tories.
Medical professionals and health staff in general are normally overworked and underpaid which is in part due to underfunding.
My wife of 38 years has been nursing for 45 years and is still a nurse and has seen the devastation caused by governments and the overblown hype around Covid which is nowhere near as bad as the powers that be are telling us. We also both have doubts about vaccinations.
I am disappointed that medics within the NHS have not been more vocal in their scepticism and of the treatment given to Covid patients. Most are brainwashed and those that aren’t are scared of being sacked.
Extra funding, less managers and patients paying for some treatments to weed out the hypochondriacs and time wasters would be a start.
outThe National Hurt Service is doing everything the publicly funded, Rothschild Medical Complex wants to extremely well.
bad management and swathes of it
Brother worked at a dental hospital 20 yrs ago and left because he couldn’t stand seeing the layers and layers of pigs at the trough
The Uk spends as much on health, private and NHS as Germany and France. If we spent more on private and less on the NHS our health care would be immeasurably better.
“Funding for healthcare is lower in the UK compared to many other high-income countries, at 10.3 per cent of GDP compared to 11.2 per cent in France, and 11.7 per cent in Germany.
In the UK we have three doctors for every 1,000 people, compared to three in France and four in Germany. We have seven nurses for every 1,000 people, in comparison to Germany’s 13 and Frances’s 10. In terms of hospital beds, we have two per 1,000 people compared to five in France and eight in Germany. We also have fewer diagnostic tools such as MRI and CT scanners.
As a result, in combination with poor welfare spending generally, the health of the UK lags behind that of many other wealthy nations and inequalities persist in key areas including life expectancy, cancer survival, and cardiovascular disease.”
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/nhs-reform-covid-funding-b1843785.html
You are only talking about the NHS. The total health spend in the UK private and NHS is the same per capita as France and Germany. And there is literally no point in referencing the Independent, I wouldn’t use it to clear up my dogs’ sick.
i would
Show a link to prove your suggestion.
The article I linked to is from Dr Michael Anderson who is co-research lead for the LSE-Lancet Commission and Elias Mossialos who is professor of Health Policy at LSE and the co-chair of the Lancet Commission.
Who cares that you don’t like the Independent.
HAHAHAHAHAHA – the Lancet – is that the same organ that published the letter from a group of scientists who were lined up by Daszak/Farrar/Fauci & co and attempted to trash the theory that SARS COV 2 leaked form the WIV? Is that the same group of scientists 27 of whom have been skewered for their links to ….the WIV? What is the thrust of the US Intelligence Services now ( and they DO know because they are implicated in the GoF “Research”)
Saying the NHS is “underfunded” is straight out of the “Meaningless Mantras For Dummies” playbook and the exact same kind of rubbish as Johnson et al saying they are protecting the NHS ( after damn near destroying it in 2021/21 and, in all but name, broken the will and spirit hordes of NHS clinicians such that they are retiring/leaving in very significant numbers thus putting even more strain on a broken system ).
Try again.
Give it some more money to waste so they finally privatise the bastard child of post war socialism and we can stop praying to it like some some fucking shaky sun god
Poor welfare spending? Is this a wind up? Show me anyone other than the homeless who doesn’t have a smart phone or flat screen TV.
Underfunding? It’s a black hole that just sucks more and more resources out of us all- it needs running efficiently if that’s even possible any more. The more money it gets, the more it will demand and use, just like anything.
Stop being an apologist for the Tory party who have underfunded the NHS and the Old Age Pension so that the UK is behind most other developed nations.
It’s the Tories fault that the NHS is inefficient, they’re the one’s who control it.
Another belly laugh, thanks; the State Pension is, never has been and never ever will be “funded”.
Politicians of all disaster parties have created a crutch for people instead of encouraging “self reliance” – ergo, it becomes a “drug” and the people are addicts. Weaning them onto taking personal responsibility for their health through diet/exercise etc might leave the “NHS” to treat the unforeseen illnesses life throws up. The ever expanding suite of treatments was never envisaged in 1946, and C. Northcote Parkinson was right about the inevitability of an entity ever expanding, this time to create a demand that can never be paid for – long overdue massive reorganisation needed along European public/private ( “mutuel” if you like ) lines.
Yes that’s right – European health care systems are public private partnerships serving 500m people and are – in my twice times personal experience – better equipped, better staffed but still I had to pay for elements of my treatment only partially recouped. If it works over the channel it will work here – and it will be less of a political football than it is now to no one’s interest.
Anyone seen the one way roadmap?
It got “accidentally” chucked out with the recycling…
Deaths (Covid) are 10 times higher this August than last August. Ergo, this winter is going to be horrendous. The double vaccinated will be monstered by Antibody Dependent Enhancement (they already are, hence 10 times the death rate) and many other vaccinated people will be hit by blood clot problems – up to and including death. On top of these horrors we have an NHS operating well below capacity due to staff suffering from adverse vaccine side effects coupled with the resignations of thousands who refuse the vaccine.
We are therefore guaranteed an absolute tsunami sized overwhelming of the NHS, which effectively means a guaranteed lockdown, guaranteed V-passports and guaranteed war against the untermenschen unvaxxed as we will be held responsible for the government manufactured catastrophes. Just as the New World Order planned…..
I can’t ‘like’ your very accurate post of the dystopia in which we live.
Thank you for so eloquently describing it.
“Deaths (Covid) are 10 times higher this August than last August.”
There will, undoubtedly, be fictions like this perpetrated … which would replace other causes of mortality to an absurd extent in a year when the actual August all-cause variance is +1 to +2% – i.e quite normal (but giving no confidence in vaccine efficacy).
The current excess death for those aged 45-65 years is about 5 standard deviations above normal for August. Most ages see a similar level of excess death, other than those under 16.
However, deaths from covid account for about 1 standard deviation of these. There is something else increasing the death rate in the country at the moment.
Yes, I think we all know what two things are doing that…
Quite.
And, with the above factored in, what is the appropriate countermeasure?
Wait until the elite dies from vaccines, then start over.
They ain’t taking ’em!
Ha! Never saw meself as an “eelit”!
but they’ve all had photos of them with their sleeves rolled up or shirts off completely having the jab shoved into their arm with brave look on face and then tweeting afterwards that they didn’t feel a thing….oh, you mean the saline/placebo jab
Don’t forget the booster deaths.
they’re hiding the stats on vaccinated being hospitalized
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you’re not counted as fully vaccinated until a full 14 days have passed since your second injection in the case of Pfizer or Moderna, or 14 days after your first dose of Janssen, despite the fact that over 80% of deaths after the vaccines occur in this window. How convenient Anyone who dies within the first 14 days post-injection is counted as an unvaccinated death. Not only does this inaccurately inflate the unvaccinated death toll, but it also hides the real dangers of the COVID shots, as the vast majority of deaths from these shots occur within the first two weeks The CDC also has two different sets of testing guidelines — one for vaccinated patients and another for the unvaccinated. If you’re unvaccinated, CDC guidance says to use a cycle threshold (CT) of 40, known to result in false positives. If you’re vaccinated, they recommend using a CT of 28 or less, which minimizes the risk of false positives The CDC also hides vaccine failures and props up the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative by only counting breakthrough cases that result in hospitalization or death Hospitals are still also… Read more »
Even a CT rate of 25 is too high according to Dr Fleming if I recall – “efficacy” of the PCR flatlines at 25 according to a video he posted…?
The boosters which they are about to shove into the arms of everyone over 50 will guarantee it – I don’t expect my mother to be alive by this Christmas based on the effect the first 2 jabs have had on her.
The vaccines are working well aren’t they? (Sarc).
Precisely the main point. They told us vaccinating the most at risk was the way out of the pandemic, not into a new or worse version of it which this winter will be. But then Zahawi knew vaccinating would cause variants to emerge and they would rake it in creating new vaccines. So much for The Science.
Except the “booster” ain’t created against the new variant. It’s just more of the same pharma ejaculate.
It’s absolutely inevitable vaccine freedom licences will be brought in.
The “pandemic” will never be allowed to go away (just as flu hasn’t) so the freedom licences will be with us permanently to stave off a threat which everyone has long since forgotten is most deadly to very old and already at risk people just as most respiratory viruses always have been.
True. But we’ve all foreseen and accepted this. We will fight until we win or are destroyed.
Complete pantomime. We are governed by these clowns? It is becoming almost embarrassing.
As to the NHS being underfunded, if there are around 1.4 million employees, that means something like 1 in 46 of the population work for it. So 20 for every thousand, roughly speaking. Underfunding is not the problem. If anything it is vastly over resourced, and still the organisation makes a f@%king pigs ear of everything it touches. It is a vehicle for management careers, not for treating sick people.
And to add insult to injury can’t any of these charlatans see the graphs going skywards following the jabfests?
The NHS is under-funded by any relevant comparison. Whether it could improve efficiency is another matter, but a major reason for the shit-show and the ‘Protect the NHS’ nonsense is a political drive to divert attention from a trail of political mistakes in the resourcing of the NHS leading to a shortage of provision.
But if anyone thinks private provision provides any model of efficiency and economy, they really need to get out more.
Sorry – but a downvote with no argument is just proof of having no argument.
I’ve just had an example a prime example of private sector inefficiency – a 20 minute consultation costing £300 for someone desperately needing a diagnosis, and thus forced into the private sector (a hidden government policy, in effect), where the consultant hadn’t even got his head round the notes. I’ve never had that degree of sloppiness in several years of frequent NHS treatment.
I could write a book on how badly the NHS has treated me on multiple occasions, nothing life threatening yet, but a life of misery and pain going on 3 decades worth now. Absolute shit show, little to no interest in prevention or lifestyle cures, ‘just take this pill and go away’.
… and I could document 8 years of the precise opposite, dealing with life threatening issues. That’s the problem with individual stories.
What I do know is that the Covid shit-show has little to do with the NHS per se, and all to do with political control. The US with a very different system has had similar problems.
Same in Germany, again with a different system. Same Health system could be overwhelmed! We must urgently buy Chinese face masks! method.
Yeah, perhaps if the health minister had not spent 7 billions on Chinese facemasks, but rather used the money to hire new ICU staff, the health system would have been a bit less “overwhelmed”. But as he told in an interview, the only regret is that he did not waste more money.
Von denen kriegt er keine Prozente :->.
just think what the £37billion on track and trace could have done for NHS and ending the pandemic since pandemic is only over when bedwetting NHS says it can cope – so, never then
The NHS issuing held up as all important but it is the excuse for extremely bad decision making by politicians who have surrounded themselves with agenda driven apparatchiks – SAGE/NERVTAG/modellers and pysop mechanics – whilst refusing to seek truly independent scientific advice based on experience in dealing with epidemic management/vaccines etc – as evidently happened in Sweden and elsewhere.
For reasons I cannot disclose I could fill these pages with incidents of “NHS” malpractice going back decades – it is crippling parts of the NHS unseen by TGBP because “no fault” compensation does not exist.
FWIT, my life has been saved more than once – UK and elsewhere – so my comments are not a moan for moaning’s sake.
I don’t particularly agree re the NHS- it’s been appalling in so many cases within my family but brilliant with my wife’s cancer- BUT I do feel we all get side-tracked, probably deliberately, into this debate when the real issue is the relentless assault on our liberties. Nothing justifies this. Absolutely nothing.
All that is about to change with introduction of Whole Genomic Sequencing – if you think things are bad now they are about to get a whole lot more dystopian. Government has already done a 2 month consultation on it and is determined to introduce it because it will make massive cost NHS cost savings.
I worked in the NHS for over 22 years and I can tell you that it is not underfunded but extremely badly managed.
I concur. Too many managers, insufficient clinical support admins to allow clinicians to do clinical work & layer upon layer of hoops to jump through. I’ve worked in the NHS for 33 years. When I first started a dozen paediatric patients were seen each day in clinic & all notes & admin completed in what was then for me a 33hour week. Six adult outpatients seen in clinic again with admin done & six home visits done per day. Now patients only want to be seen at certain times, don’t like early appointments & with the associated admin hoops to jump through with no clinical admin support, guess what? Number of patients able to be seen in a day for adults is four! Now full time work a 37 hour week yet regularly do 9 hour days just to deal with all the admin!
My bag is rehab, with the take a pill & get better approach over the years, the concept of having to work hard to get better doesn’t go down very well…
TOH’s experience over the same time period, to a “T”
1 in 20 of the working population.
I wouldn’t want to put myself through watching the whole of that press conference, but a quick fast forward and you can see Whitty is his usual doom-y self, and the questions from the people seated who claim to be journalists were all, as ever, Why can’t we have harsher restrictions? / Why aren’t masks compulsory? / When can we have another Lockdown?
As Julia HB puts it “So, to summarise the Winter Plan:
Plan A: vaccines & learning to live with this endemic virus.
Plan B: go back and repeat the exact same policies based on no scientific evidence that didn’t work last time and which won’t work next time either.”
Plan A: stream of embezzled money and bribes might dry up.
Plan B: we just continue to milk everyone as usual while they keep clapping in appreciation.
Guess which plan is going to win.
The real Winter Plan!
we will be locked down by end November at very latest
Not me.
Javed says – that at 81% – the jabbing programme has been highly successful. Then announces a programme of interventions that they will use – ‘if necessary’ – without stating what criteria would constitute ’necessary’.
Why can’t they be precise? Why leave everyone in limbo? What does such uncertainty do for business – big and small – for education and for peoples’ state of mind.
Weren’t we promised that getting jabbed would lead to a return to normal?
If harsh regulation may be necessary, what was the point of getting jabbed?
Why sow fear into the minds of people?
Incompetence or wickedness?
Jabbing program , you’ll note. Nothing about their efficacy.
threats, threats , threats. “if you don’t do this we will mask you, if you don’t get your children injected we will lock you up, if the god we all serve the NHS starts to struggle again we will shut your business down”
What a country! ruled by despots, by thugs dressed up as scientists as politicians who are so drunk on power they will sacrifice us all and anything to keep hold. Haven’t we all had enough?
I somehow don’t think Bozo wants another lockdown. Not because he doesn’t enjoy kicking peop,e in the face, but because he thinks that this time, they,
or some of them, are likely to fight back.
Yes, that’s a possibility. Him not wanting one because he thinks they will be unpopular is how he feels, he doesn’t think.
Tory constituents complaining.
We had enough months ago. We’re currently waiting for leaders and some fireworks.
So unless we impose lockdown/vaxxing on ourselves Boris will throw the kitchen sink at us.
He’ll do it anyways, whatever we do, so at least let’s not CHOOSE to do it.
A lot of rage against the corrupt politicians and members of SAGE – yet they will just continue to receive their salaries and live happily ever after on very comfortable pensions. Much huffing and puffing but the house of cards still stands.
Professor Whitty gave a more downbeat assessment saying that infections were “high” relative to last year, and the NHS was under “extreme pressure” because the vaccines were helping to boost hospitalisations
Fixed it!
Same lies regurgitated. God how I loathe these bastards.
This country is well and truly fuc*ed. Johnson has allowed the ridiculous deification of the NHS to reach its apotheosis. We have become a poorly run health service with a state attached to it.
You would think that the last 18 months might have made the scales fall from people’s eyes. But no. Even the tax grab (none of the money will ever see social care) doesn’t prompt calls for reform of the antediluvian relic.
Psychiatrist’s talk about ‘learned helplessness’ where no matter what you do, the end resulti s deleterious.
I’m there. I give up.
Are they deliberately ignoring the blatant correlation?
The emperor has no clothes!
Not my Emperor!
We need a true Bonaparte to do some spring cleaning
It would be fascinating to see a journalist put the underlying question :
“So, Prime Minister, this would suggest that the ‘vaccines’ are an utter failure, doesn’t it? Why are you still pursing a failed policy?”
Any bets?
They spout the “Saved over 100,000 lives” sound bite. A figure completely bereft of any evidence, but easily swallowed by the gullible.
One question wouldn’t be enough. You’d need an extended period with him on his own, following up every bullshit answer of his with logical rebuttals. I think it would be an utter trainwreck for him, done by the right journalist who remained calm but firm.
But all journos are in on IT, so editors would absolve the creep. The only extended questioning he needs is in a court room. With swift and final resolution to the questions preferred.
Ha- I wish the stock market was as easy to predict.
I can safely say without fear of contradiction that stock markets fall as well as plummet
But there are no contradictions, so Johnson needs to check his premises- assuming he knows what they are.
There is going to be a surge in “infections” when they jab the children because the Pfizer jab depresses the immune system. The booster will wipe any natural immunity the double jabbed have developed, since their immune systems were wiped by the first two jabs. There will need to be a second jab for teenagers and another booster in the spring for the sheeple. And thereafter for everyone for evermore to try and stop the ADE.
Nice doublespeak. The vaccines are working but the NHS is still under “extreme pressure.” Would that be because of your total mismanagement of this whole pandemic? Your sole focus on all things covid has led to major backlogs in other areas hence your “extreme pressure” you witless idiot.
Once again one wonders why Labour continue to pass up the opportunity to defeat the government by opposing all this. The opposition plus Tory rebels = government defeated.
Because, unfortunately, in the US (due to the timing of the election and the fact that Biden had to say the opposite to Trump) lockdown policy and its bastard siblings have become very much a left-wing bandwagon.The left in other English-speaking countries have all jumped aboard, so Labour is only ever going to demand even tougher restrictions.
Because they support it.
The NHS could potentially be overloaded with all the vaccine injuries and not necessarily just Covid.
In August 2021 a pro-vaccine pathologist in Germany who has been vaccinated against Covid himself did 40 autopsies on people who had died within 14 days of the vaccine and found that 30% to 40% died from the vaccine.

Come on guys, we’d better get vaccinated now. We have to keep our communities safe, and it’s a moral duty to obey the government, which is doing really well to stop this vicious virus in so many, many, ways. The vaccines are EFFECTIVE, SAFE, QUICK, and FUN. It’s not true they’re not working: they’re doing what they’ve been created for. It’s working!!! Everything going great!!!
yes the bit about yesterday that worried me the most was the determination to double down on their efforts to get the remaining 80% who are still unvaccinated double jabbed – how do they intend to do that? will they be sending the police to homes? rounding them up and interning them in camps? if you’d wanted it you’d have had it by now and there isn’t much more left in the psychological coercion arsenal
Boosters are an admission that the vaccines don’t prevent anything. And if the boosters don’t work what would be the point of vaccine passports?
True. It’s all f*cked up. We have to get some leaders and put on some fireworks.
The point of Nazipapiere is that Nazis love them.
20th March 2020: the clown announced the first lockdown to “protect the NHS“.
We are 6 days off 18 months from then: the clown suggests we may need further lockdowns to “protect the NHS“.
With apologies to the Blackadder team:
Pathetic!
The asthmatic ant needs his booster
Thank you – you made me laugh!
Witty is grasping for straws. How about some real news? Schools reopened. Once again, the predicted COVID tsunami didn’t materialize. Massively ramping up testing didn’t kickstart the pandemic again, just a short flare-up of hitherto undetected asymptomatic infections.
Infections have been declining fairly sharply for six days in a row now.The government’s chief Corona whisperer tries to paint this as bleakly as possible while all the usual experts update the date of the predicted apocalypse once again.
Instead of consulting a broad range of views, the gov are allowing a turtlish man to project his psyche onto the “virus situation”. What a wise man.
… but we know that this has nothing to do with reality.
Just love the cartoon.
Now a real leader would have long since got rid of those two jokers along with putting Ferguson out to grass and cutting all research funding to Imperial College. Unfortunately, we have Bunter
None of this is surprising, it is entirely consistent of Kim Jong Johnson to say and do exactly opposite things in a very short space of time.
Despite there being no justification for lockdown, even without the vaccines, he is proposing them anyway after they’ve been administered.
He’s also going to bring back the same old pish that previously had no scientific justification anyway because he can.
The UK this winter following its miopic belief in the failed vaccines:
