Welsh Cinema Shut Down After Refusing to Impose Vaccine Passports Receives Over £45,000 in Donations in Less Than 48 Hours

Cinema & Co., the Welsh cinema that was shut down for 28 days yesterday after refusing to comply with the Welsh Government’s rules on vaccine passports, has raised over £45,000 via a crowdfunder.

If you want to support this independently-run business and make sure it can survive its forced closure, donate here. I’ve bunged in £10.

Let’s get it to over £100,000 by the end of the weekend.

Full support to this Welsh cinema and any business trying to struggle through at the moment. I’ve donated what I can. Vaccine certs are so damaging to venues. Unworkable and impractical… and pointless.

You left out evil. But that label is absolutely appropriate to intentional discrimination against dissenters to coerce compliance with measures introduced under false pretences.

I think you meant to say, “So damaging to their customers and to humanity in general“. These cinema owners are standing up for us, not for their business.

Why do you say that? Wirral Gym was targeted in Autumn 2020 by armed police who shut it down and handed out FPNs of astonishing amounts. The public responded to help them.

I think it was a joke – you know, “Fine as long as none of it is spent on paying fines” ?

Why minus 16 downclicks? Of course this cinema shouldn’t be paying any fines. Fined for what? For not ‘keeping others safe from The Virus’ or sticking 2 fingers up to Swansea Council?
Be careful negotiating the streets of Swansea, dead laying all over the place from this highly contagious & deadly virus!

It’s brilliant. Makes me want to see a film. Maybe a good black and white WW2 film about how Britain defeated the fascists.

From Yeadon’s telegram page https://t.me/s/robinmg I am writing to you with great urgency over a grave matter which has not been highlighted anywhere I have seen. It looks like the MHRA are holding back on vast numbers of death and injury reports for the booster shots. In their Yellow Card Summary, the MHRA have recently stated that the 9 million or so booster jabs have generated 5566 adverse drug reactions. This didn’t look right so ploughing into historical data, I went into the early figures of the initial rollout which would have included large numbers of the elderly and some health workers, so fairly like for like conditions. What I found was that the first 10.1 million jabs up to early February actually produced 102,000 ADR’s, a rate of ADR’s over 16 times higher that what we are seeing here. So what’s going on, are the vaccines safer this time around? Well buried in the MHRA Yellow Card Summary are these paragraphs: “As of 3 November 2021, an estimated 9,012,676 people had received their booster or third vaccination in the UK” “However, due to ongoing work on the presentation of the latest data on numbers of vaccines administered, suspected adverse event… Read more »

I had wondered about the apparent slowing of the fatalities as reported in the safety updates here on DS.

If only more businesses had had more courage a year ago and refused to follow lockdown restrictions and masks and opened up we wouldn’t be at this point now.

Fair play to the cinema, I’ve subbed em a few bob. I just hope more follow suit as I’m all up for giving them my money instead of scum like Tesco’s !

After over 18 months you would think there would be plenty of press coverage of people contracting Covid in a cinema, but I am blowed if I can find any. Plenty of dire predictions and calculations of potential harm, but nothing that appoximated to a bona fide infection.
PS This is a challenge to the doom-mongers to prove me wrong.

I live in a city in the USA that has barred the unjabbed from bars, restaurants etc. Every week I donate the $$ I would normally have spent eating out to entities (of various kinds) that are fighting this crap.

What about my business as a self-employed contractor?! Nobody gave a stuff about me when Sunak shut down the economy and told me to go die in a ditch I’m getting nothing.

Money needs to be raised to attack government and attack the left wing hate mobs not to bail out a business that will simply be fined again.

Your logic is like, “I was wounded in battle and nobody cared I lost my leg so why should I give a sh1t about all these Slavs and Gypsies being sent off to work camps?”

She has opened up in defiance of the nazis at Swansea council tradings standards.

No, my logic is like “Sunak decided to bail out 10 million people using mine and others future taxes and decided that 3m of us could just go rot”

It was a bit of a taster for vaxxed v unvaxxed, divide and conquer. I’ve had two lashings now and I want to smash the paki cunt hard.

This is attacking government. Hopefully in a more effective way than another lawsuit which ends up with some clown of a judge declaring that It’s a terrible pandemic! The government says so!! People don’t matter!!!

Maybe Sunak’s billionaire wife, who also claimed furlough money from the British taxpayers, took out an onion and shed a tear for you?

All those who donated could have also gone round to Swansea Trading Standards and insisted the fine be dropped. Although the train ticket would be more than £10.

Shame on the Nazis in Cardiff Bay and their willing executioners in Swansea Council.

It would be great if somebody leaked the names of the trading standards officers who did the evil deed.

There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Any credibility in the concept that masks,social distancing or “booster jabs” having any role in the management of the COVID19 pandemic are demonstrated in this video. While Drakeford,1st minister in Wales is Dad dancing at a Hindi Diwali festive he is mandating closing this little cinema, mandating masks and opening the Rugby Stadium Roof to stop COVID transmission.
We have seen part the world engulfed in destruction which started when normal individuals became convinced that a superior race existed. Do not permit our leaders again to stigmatise on group – the unvaccinated, un masked, non social distancing: as dangerous underclass.

Well, they did demolish the house of Fred West ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_West ) in Gloucester a few years ago. Probably worthless in the market.

I really don’t understand what the donations are needed for? All that money just to hand over to Swansea Council? Why pay any fine at all?
And have the bully boys closing the cinema down been identified yet?

Hopefully she can have the means to take the Council to court and get it repaid like all those others who had their convictions quashed in the past 20 months.

Have just donated £25 and written to Mark Drakeford, which I suggest we all do. Mr Mark Drakeford, First Minister Welsh Government 5th Floor Tŷ Hywel Cardiff Bay CF99 1NA     20 November 2021     Dear Mr Drakeford   I write with absolute disgust on learning that you have seen fit to close a small cinema (Cinema & Co) in Swansea with reference to Covid and under the false impression that by doing so it will protect us from the virus.  How dare you pontificate and demand that others follow your so-called rules and regulations, when you, personally, can be seen dancing with many other people, none of whom, including yourself, are wearing masks, at an Indian festival on November 12 2021.   What a hypocrite you are. You should resign immediately and withdraw these stupid regulations.   Have you not learnt in the last two years that there is nothing any of can do to prevent people getting a flu like virus, other than the kind of measures individuals have taken of their own free will during their lives.    I do not live in Wales but I have sent the cinema £25.00 in support. I value freedom and am… Read more »
