‘Plan B’ Restrictions May Cost £4 Billion Per Month
With the announcement of ‘Plan B’ restrictions expected imminently, a study conducted by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has unveiled that the measures, which include the imposition of vaccine passports and work from home guidelines, could cost the British economy £4 billion a month. Toby, quoted in the article below, has said that part of “the financial cost would be the constant demand from petty officials to see evidence of our vaccination status”. The Express has the story.
Boris Johnson is expected to announce the introduction of new restrictions against Covid at some point in the next 24 hours. A Government source told the Guardian that “new Covid rules are imminent” after a video emerged of Downing Street staff laughing about a Christmas party held last year.
Reports suggest that Mr Johnson could reintroduce work from home guidelines and introduce Covid vaccine passports.
Three senior Whitehall officials told the Financial Times that the Government has decided it will impose these winter ‘Plan B’ measures.
But new analysis by the IEA has revealed that these measures would have a damning impact on the British economy, at a time when the financial recovery from previous lockdowns is already pulling at taxpayers’ pockets.
The think tank has predicted that the restrictions could add fresh costs of £4 billion every month.
Julian Jessop, Economics Fellow at the IEA, said: “Even without a full national lockdown, the additional Covid restrictions apparently being considered in Whitehall could easily knock two percent off GDP – costing the UK economy £4 billion a month – and force the taxpayer to stump up billions more to prevent a new wave of bankruptcies and job losses.”
It is also understood that the costs of new measures would not stop at the economy.
Toby Young, Editor of the Daily Sceptic, said other impacts will be “even worse” than that on the economy.
He told the Express: “It is right to recognise the ruinous economic impact of ‘Plan B’, but even worse than the financial cost would be the constant demand from petty officials to see evidence of our vaccination status.
“Britain is not and never should be a ‘papers’ please’ country.”
Jessop added: “[The economic cost] is on top of all the social costs and harms to people’s wellbeing and liberties, as well as the risk of further disruption to children’s education.
“Some will argue that this would be a fair price to pay to clamp down on Omicron. However, this would require much stronger evidence that the new variant is more deadly, not just more transmissible.
“This is a particularly high bar to clear in the U.K., where most experts agree that the population has now acquired a high degree of immunity due to past infections and from the vaccine booster programme.”

£4bn a month to stop the ‘party’ narrative

Oh no. This is all about weeding out the vaccine hold outs.
They are absolutely desperate to eliminate the vaccine control group that will serve as proof of the atrocity they are committing with their jabs. With no unjabbed bodies left, they can claim:
If everyone is jabbed they can claim anything they like without having any data to contradict them.
Is that worth £4bn a month? Easily. More so given that it’s our money, not theirs…
Yep, nail on head stewart, 10/10.
I’m struggling to remain cheerful these days and I’m inching towards the point where just one more straw could break this camel’s back. I’m hoping against hope that there are millions of others out there (besides the good peeps on this forum!) who feel as I do. I never thought I’d live to see a revolution in my own country, let alone partake in one but, given the way this shit show is steadily unravelling, I wouldn’t bet against either. 🙁

brilliant post Stewart, the more jabs I evade the more determined I become, we’ve come so far we can’t give in now, hold the line control group – No surrender to the MRNA!
Won’t work if so. There will be people who hold out even here – the sizeable population they don’t know about for a start – and many more in other countries.
The revelation about the party was most likely staged to show us all they’re laughing at us – it gets revealed the day before announcing the greatest theft of liberty this country has ever seen. This was a show of power and dominance – this is now full-blown psycho-bio-warfare on the people of this country.
They no longer want to hide their contempt for us. They want us to see they will be living life normal while the rest of us suffer their “Chinese Democracy”.
And yet you try to explain that to people and they just. don’t. get. it. because unless you have been coming to places like this site on a regular basis and informing yourself you just couldn’t get your head around it.
If the British people are that thick, then they deserve their place down the re-opened coal mines, digging coal for the Chinese power stations.
Anyone spraying the handle of their shopping trolley deserves a (sadly this post had to be shortened due to lack of space).
Four billion (does “billion” in this context mean ten-to-the-nine or ten-to-the-twelve, and is that before or after Tax?) per month in order to accelerate the pre-planned process of economic collapse, in fact.
It’s the first time in history that the ineffectiveness of a medication is being blamed on those not taking it.
Brilliantly put 🤣🤣
When the endgame is a social credit system, this becomes irrelevant. Just further proof of where we’re heading.
Exactly, to them inflation (except wage inflation) is good.
Hyperinflation = you’ll own nothing and be happy about it.
Totally. “Plan B” was drawn up months ago and would have been rolled out earlier except that there didn’t seem to be enough public appetite for it. So they waited for the next “variant” when the public could be bullied into accepting Plan B. And here it is.
Yep it is theatre. With a script. And they are bad actors
intention: so many media orgs and people will be fronting their bulletins with the plan B news that no one will be interested any more in the illegal no10 party.
And that’s where we going if no-one stops it. There are only a few people running this show, by the way. People quickly need to find out who these people are before it’s too late. And just who are all these snitches who ratted on their neighbours to the Police during the ‘lockdowns’? Need to be identified straight away and dealt with.
Johnson is out of his tiny mind
He doesn’t have one. It’s either his wife or his global masters who own what previously passed for his “mind”.
He’s smack in the middle of his mind. So are those who love him and elected him. The same applies to Trump’s core political base.
With respect … if that doesn’t scare hell out you, nothing will.
Nope. He’s clever and has a cushy next ‘job’ / pension lined up. Just like Tony Blair, the ‘Untouchable War Criminal’. He’s still going strong and raking in the cash, isn’t he?
I want to see some of them hanging from lampposts now, and I’m actually a shy placid sort of guy. If I feel that way I can only imagine what those easily angered must be feeling.
Likewise – I’ve never felt violence is the answer. But I’d see these fuckers hang and be first in line to pull the lever for what they’re doing.
It’s not violence if it’s self defence.
Note how western governments have maligned freedom fighters as terrorists over the last 2 or 3 decades! Think it was a coincidence, the state has become increasingly afraid of it’s own citizens, why?
I recommend using a circus cannon to fire them through the air intake of a turbofan, think of the fate of Major Grant in Die Hard 2.
Thank you for the laugh.
Reading through this commentary, god, I needed one.
Fans of odd symbolism will no doubt have noticed that the ‘emergency announcement’ was such a hot issue, that it was pre-recorded, then broadcast, on a Sunday, on 12/12/21. The demonic triplets! The inversion! The middle finger to faith! The fucking cheek!
I wasn’t one to pick up on that sort of silliness, until the sheer weight of almost 2 years of collected bullshit rendered such an observation much less bothersome. After a brace of gaslight-filled years, what’s a little symbology between friends?
More importantly, the new scariant is an anagram of moronic and that’s no coincidence, it’s their way of showing us they’re having a laugh at our expense.
Where are the children of all the elderly who were murdered in the ‘care homes’? Why aren’t they livid?
Just why are people putting up with this endless crap, of having to get PCR tests for travel, and having to quarantine? Just who are Serco and Mitie to tell the British what to do, and to have the audacity to spy on them? Who gave them the contracts?
There goes Toby Young’s theory that Boris does not want to squander political equity from the vaccine programme. I take it the jabs didn’t work, but hey, if it saves just one life…
They just cant help themselves
Of course they can’t.
They’ve injected into millions a treatment that not only doesn’t do what they promised, but worse still, causes enormous amount of harm.
There’s only one way out of this for them. Forwards. More of the same. Eliminate the control group. Vax passports. Whatever it takes to cover up their hideous crime.
‘it seems they HAVE helped themselves’ (WS Gilbert)
Doesn’t it matter that there’s no evidence that these dystopian measures actually do anything other than cause harm? Indeed, over the past 18 months we can clearly see from the statistics that the measures have absolutely fuck-all impact on the spread ofthe virus.
Oh but but but… without the measures things would have been so much worse.
Then ask them why this alleged correlation isn’t visible when comparing countries/states with widely differeing restricitons (or no restrictions).
Silence…
Has it mattered that covid was less dangerous than they said? Nope
Has it mattered that lockdowns didn’t do any good? Nope
Has it mattered that face covering don’t protect against viruses? Nope
Has it mattered that the jabs don’t seem to work? Nope
But to the bat shit crazy public and their high priests in government, we are following “the science”.
Just ruined the health of the nation – not only their physical health, but their mental health as well.
It wouldn’t be so bad if they had honest intentions, but their mates have been pocketing money left, right and centre – and Boris and his gang are well aware of this. Covid is a scam.
Boris could be in a pickle, though, if the people who owe him favours refuse to pay up, and then Carrie tells him to fuck off. Back to sleeping in the car!
“Some will argue that this would be a fair price to pay to clamp down on Omicron. However, this would require much stronger evidence that the new variant is more deadly, not just more transmissible.” Or any evidence at all.
https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps
Exactly. No evidence of any pandemic at all. Shows all the other occasional waves of seasonal deaths for the last few years. Any reporter got the balls to publish these graphs?
Evidence that the sodding variant thing exists at all is rather thin on the ground.
The WHO statement that it was ‘a thing’ was published just 2 days after it was purportedly ‘discovered’.
And that published statement is footnoted by… let me count them… ZERO references.
The impossibly upbeat Dr Andrew Kaufman has already unpicked a lot of the guff in an enlightening clip with Sayer Ji (Odysee has it).
People, the whole thing is a house of cards. Given the passage of two lie-strewn years, and the deaths of many thousands, at the guilt-free hands of people with neither honour, morals nor integrity, might it be worth considering that the holy of holies, the existence of the main event, is a scientific fraud of monumental proportions? Open the door to that, and the house of cards must fall, laying bare the scale of the crime.
‘Plan B’ Restrictions May Cost’ much more than money:
Hopefully they cost the cabinet their necks.
An entirely appropriate source for the quote there. If you haven’t seen or read any John Hamer, he has some interesting stuff for you.
Ihre papiere, bitte!
Latest from SA: CEO of big hospital group confirms low number of admissions and milder disease, says vast majority of positives can be treated at a primary care level. Wife and I have “colds” but won’t be getting tested. Oh, and we have been masked(theoretically) during each wave, made absolutely no difference. This should be all over from a viral point of view in a few months.
Like every viral cold every year up to 2020 when a group of global oligarchs decided they would use a winter flu to mount a revolution and install global technocratic government.
The “economy” is being geared into a global medico-fascist surveillance state. The loss to the traditional economy (tourism, hospitality, business travel, socialising) is nothing compared to the “investment” from (and wealth shift to) the pharma companies, their shareholders and various pseudo-science liggers working in the NHS and elsewhere who rely on the £15 per shot of their latest “medication”.
They want to turn people into pot plants.
“They want to turn people into pot plants.” No, potting soil.
Or batteries!
The economy allows just enough freedom to maximise rent-seeking
Pharma? Just look at the stock price of the last 18 months of Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc.. It’s doubled.
Where the world is going, these companies won’t have a place. They have served their purpose and are being rewarded for their service.
Why? where is the evidence? where is the justification
They don’t need “evidence” – just lies, propaganda and emergency powers – we have given them both.
I think we see that “repeated lying without conscience” was the principal element in the “skill-set” required for the post of PM when Johnson applied for the job.
Still you ask for evidence.Still you ask for justification.
I thought Gove had been silent for a long time, the viper still spits out his poison
If Gove makes it to PM, he’ll hand the reins to Cummings. Just saying.
Number of people in hospital with ‘omicron variant’ – Nil
They will find some poor road accident victims who apparently died of Covid. Their real problem is disguising the number of the vaccinated filling Covid wards as ADE and weakened immune systems take hold. Who can they possibly try to blame?
The most important thing to remember is that everything from Government and Media is a pack of lies – starting with the fake PCR test results.
the fake PCR test results.
Depends what you mean by this. The PCR test results have not been faked. They are fake by the very nature of the PCR test. They are intrinsically-fake. They are evidentially meaningless. They constitute political propaganda- far worse, in fact; they constitute political propaganda masquerading as meaningful evidence- they are a lie which has been assiduously-crafted to appear to be in close proximity to a form of truth. That PCR test results have any meaning other than as political propaganda is an original Big Lie upon which so many other big lies are predicated. As lie is heaped upon lie, we need to keep the original lies clearly in mind.
Well its certain that symptomless POCR positives are just bullshit on a stick, to call them a case is probably the base lie of this panicdemic.
Not convinced the tests that people put themselves through on the ground have anything to do with the figures that are spewed out by the govt.
The manufacturing base has been depleted and shipped to China. The Green Agenda’s wind turbine projects at £25BN a piece and the mrna attack further bleeds the country’s finances, energy integrity and social fabric apart.
Actions were sped when the US election was taken. We’ll see the further destruction of social order, manufactured by design, into February.
Whitehall do not run the gov’t. Why the people cannot see everything is in lock-step with other western nations with connections to the Rothschilds and the 300 families is beyond me. But anyway, I’ll take my tin foil hat off. Btw,
All this could end now if we had more courageous morally responsible , honest and independent minded brain-active MPs not benefitting from this nightmare outrage of lies. They could simply vote down the Covid Act and restore the democracy they so casually threw away in their hysterical panic. MPs and lying “Journalists” ‘bought out ‘ globally by we know who are responsible for everything that is happening . The ovine stupidity of the sheep makes it even easier than they could ever have imagined. Everything that is happening has already been gamed by Fauci in his fifty year career and “enhanced” by his teaming up with Gates – “It’s nothing personal – just business”,as Fauci quoted from his favourite film in interview. You can read all about it in shocking, minute, well-referenced detail in RFK.J’s book “The Real Dr Fauci”. But only those who already know will go anywhere near it. The ‘Awake’ and the honest un-bribed virologists have correctly predicted every element of this Pharma driven totalitarian ‘Reset’ operation from day one. It has all been hidden in plain sight for those who open their eyes. The report that Gove and presumably his secret ‘friend’ Blair have resurfaced from… Read more »
The threat of what happened to the Leigh-on-Sea MP murdered by a Somali national – on the MI5 watchlist, may have scared those who had a conscious at the time. It’s a prison planet, until enough deaths occur and they can’t be hidden. May take until Jan/Feb at which point CBDC or the passport is in.
This is the kind of message/messenger that may break through to the covidian mob, his message is professional, calm, coherent and uncontroversial, his presentation confident, caring & reasoned. I posted it earlier, it doesn’t look like many took it up, I urge you to watch & share far & wide, please.
Former NSW Police Sergeant Stephen Kelly
Even the commentators on the BBC article are calling this out for bullshit now…. The 40% in the mass formation are waking up and turning.
I sure hope you’re right.
I’ve seen 2 spontaneous public polls this week, vaccine mandate, yes/no = 15/85% with multiple thousands participating, the official narrative is wearing thin.
Why aren’t these thousands standing outside the Houses of Parliament, or round at the homes of their MPs?
And that’s going to persuade me to give my body to the State?
No ‘vaccines ‘, or boosters, for me, ever!
Johnson following Agenda 30. Today was always the date for Plan Bollocks.The Xmas party is just a distraction.
It was obvious with the rhetoric they used regards students getting jabbed in late summer. Suggesting that freedoms would be curtailed if they didn’t. There was an implied threat in it for all of us.They always had passports set for winter.
I’m a gentle, peaceful, placid guy. But if they bring in passports to live in our own country, we simply must organise a million people to march to London and chuck the lot of them in the Thames. I have never joined a march before, but I will be there.
Sadly, a million marched against the Iraq war, and it didn’t change anything. We need to get through either to their consciences (if they still have them) or to their fears. Nothing else will work.
I am still astonished that Boris Johnson got a communist (Michie) to work out ways to bully and terrify the people. It was said he wanted to be world dictator when young, and dictatorial ways seem to have come readily to him. I really do think he wants to be a very powerful, dictatorial PM with as little work as possible, for as long as possible, and that being the very best PM he could be, therefore, doesn’t even cross the radar.
Feel free to write: s.michie@ucl.ac.uk
Peking Piffle? Surely Michie was an obvious choice.
They already have Vaxx Passes in Wales and Scotland. Sturgeon hasn’t been chucked in the Firth of Forth, and Drakeford hasn’t been chucked down a coal mine shaft.
I note that the people who gain the most from plan B measures (as little as those gains are) are the vulnerable pensioners, who are in general the ones least affected by the measures (fixed income, vulnerable so very likely to be vaccinated etc).
And least likely to be off to a nightclub.
Bill Ayers (formerly of the Weather Underground) was leader of a group which (from the mid-80s on) groomed and successfully ran Barack Obama for the Presidency.
Before the 2008 election, Ayers said in public that … each morning, he wakes up and says to himself, ‘This is the day I destroy capitalism’.
Boris hasn’t the cojones to do what the Weather Underground did. Nor does he have the spine to do what “guilty as hell, free as a bird” Ayers has done since.
All Boris is, is proof of Hanlon’s Razor — Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Kim Jong Johnson has been demonstrating his malice.
A note to all the Tory members who were complicit in saddling the country with this catastrophically weak joke of a prime minister who’s now for almost two years been busy fighting a non-existant threat with ineffective measures while ruining the country and millions of lives in the process: Should you ever again be presented with a form to vote on anything, please bin it immediately. The outcome is likely to be much more in your real interest in this case.
In essence, Kim Jong Johnson defeated Jeremy Corbyn by a wide margin then did what Jezza was going to do anyway, the great fat communist fraud.
C’mon – BJ may be a fatso like KJU, but he hasn’t got anything like his government skills.
In what way dos any communist have government skills?
I would like to think no-one who posts here will ever vote Tory again, probably not for any other current mainstream party, unless one of them convincingly demonstrates they have cleaned the stables (not going to happen).
The thing here is that Johnson got elected to Get Brexit Done in order restore the sovereignity of the UK by wrangling it out of the grip of the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. And the same Johnson is now basically selling out all of the UK to the equally unelected bureaucrats of the WHO, despite there are ample precedents of other conservative leaders who have held their own against these and the most dangerous thing which happened to them is that they got a lot of bad press from mainstream- and not-so-mainstream leftwing papers.
In addition to this, he’s already spouting the nonsense about the evil unvaxxed who are forcing the government to restrict the social life of the poor population while – at the same time – stating that it’s presently unknown if the current round of available vaccines is still of any use.

Wasn’t “Freedom Day” irreversible?
Until a new variant came along …. which they knew it would.
Only until it was about to happen. As with all cowards, Johnson’s courage is boundless for as long as all threats remain at a safe distance. When freedom day came, it had to be postponed by just another for weeks to jab some more people, otherwise, the risk would be just too great. A month later experts literally predicted the world would end if COVID measures were lifted. Johnson lifted them reluctantly while paying lip services to the powers pulling his strings (or rather, terrifying his puny mind with their horrible fantasy numbers) and the world didn’t.
Unfortunately, this didn’t get us anywhere as all the behind-the-scenes stuff was left in place. Hence, five months later, we just find us again in the same shitty situation: Experts are wielding loads of really scary numbers (Even a mild cold is just too much for the NHS when people are being allowed to decide on their own clothing in public and to meet other people as they see fit !!!) and apparently, all of the COVID bullshit interventions are back on the table.
“freedom day” was just words, a sound bite.
Talk is cheap.
£4 billion a month closer to breaking the UK economy and ‘forced’ to incorporate a new financial system within the ‘covid passport’. By which point we will be living in a communist nation that operates same as China.
