My family is worried about me. They’re all vaccinated to the hilt and yet I am not (aged 69 and therefore “highly vulnerable”), and I do not seem to be overly concerned. Surely my mental state is therefore to be questioned and probably it would be best if I were held down by a couple of very large and unsympathetic gentlemen from the enforcement arms of HMG while Dr. Mengele’s disciples discharge a load of crud into my veins.

What have we become? How have we been so easily manipulated into this position?

Aux armes, mes enfants – there is no-one left to defend you apart from yourselves.

In the resistance to coronafascism and when the physical force conflict takes off, there could develop a unity and level of mutual respect between older people and youngsters such as there hasn’t been in any social or oppositional movement in Britain since the 1930s. Let us hope so. Perhaps we will take the rulers by surprise.

Long may you thrive.

Of course. Nobody wants to admit they made a mistake. That’s why even some of those injured by the vaccine simply double down. As for the Covidian elites, they can’t afford to leave an unjabbed control group which demonstrates the lethality of the vaccine. So, yes. They are going to presecute us.

I’m unjabbed and always will be. When I got the virus last summer, I was mocked by many jabbed friends. I held my head up high nevertheless. Fast forward a few months, I’m in rude health and many of the jabbed friends have the virus. They’re waiting for their next three jabs to “protect” them against omicron now. 🤷‍♀️

How do you know you got ‘The Virus’ when the PCR and LFT tests are not fit for purpose.
This is the heart of the problem, people keep claiming they “had the Covids”, instead of saying they had a bit of a cold.
How can you catch a virus that doesn’t exist? (Hasn’t been isolated, has it?)

I know a few people who say they’ve had covid. Some of them felt quite ill, and tested themselves and were positive, but it doesn’t prove much as we don’t know if they would have tested positive at other times when they weren’t ill. But I know other people who test themselves regularly irrespective of whether they feel ill or well, and their feeling ill coincided with their first positive test. From which I would conclude that there is a virus that makes you feel ill that these tests can sometimes detect, though the tests are clearly not 100% reliable. I think what really matters is not whether it exists or not, it’s whether it is so exceptional at a societal level that it’s appropriate to turn life upside down for it, and that’s core message number 1 that cannot be repeated often enough because all the other lies stem from the lie that it’s exceptional. The second big lie is that governments can “control” it, but as soon as you start arguing about that, you are in danger of disappearing down rabbit holes because you’ve entered the mad fantasy world in which covid is like the plague, though I… Read more »

I agree! The measures are disproportionate and are indicative of a wider end goal. I won’t be going along with any of it.

Just out of interest, to counteract the narrative, I’ve updated my Wi-Fi name and my personal hotspot name.

Perhaps if we all found ways of counteracting the narrative other than presenting alternative and sound arguments (won’t work when people have cognitive dissonance), then we might slowly begin to make a difference.

To be fair, it didn’t feel like a normal cold or flu. The headache was simply weird – not awful but unlike anything else I’ve had. I do believe there’s a virus and that it was most likely leaked from the lab. How else would they have grounds to jab everyone?

They built the jab based on the ‘genome’ of the spike protein uploaded to whatever dodgy system by the Chinese, which could’ve been based on a regular coronavirus. I guess genetically engineering a whole virus is beyond available resources at the moment.

If it’s any consolation, I’m more than half your age and I’m in exactly the same boat. My mother, soon as the letter came in the post, immediately rushed to book her booster jab. Then got on the phone to her mother and they started talking about the Omicron Persei-8 variant. She said to her mother ‘Of course I booked my booster. I’m not a refuser like some people’. I can only assume my grandmother then proceeded to whine about me not getting it because my mother responded with something like ‘Well, I’ve tried but he’s stubborn and blah blah blah’ None of these people bothered to do five minutes of research before they went sticking themselves with needles. I know for a fact my mother never consulted with her GP or any medical professional before she went and got hers. Never bothered to ask whether this treatment was right for her or what the side effects were or what her risk of dying from covid even was without the covid shot. In fact, she said to her mother and some other people that she was going to get the covid vaccine, sight unseen, before there even WAS a covid… Read more »

There’s almost no point of similarity between imperial suppression of violent rebellion, and domestic totalitarianism beyond generally unpleasant methods. Just an irrelevant diversion from the point made, which is a perfectly valid one in the current situation.

Nope, that’s just hippy “oh being mean to people is all the same kind of nastiness underneath” nonsense.

Not all people who do bad things are the same, or bad in the same way. Nor are all victims the same. Nor are all motivations the same. Different circumstances have meaning, in the real world.

In this particular case, the op made a perfectly valid reference to the return of Germans to a similar kind of behaviour to that which the German nation indulged in in the 1920s and 1930s, which they had promised to “never forget”.

Star made an almost entirely irrelevant reference (“what about…?”) to different behaviour for different reasons in a different place by a different nation in a wholly different context, and implied it was all the same, really. Sloppy, provocative and dishonest.

Yes. that’s a good example of how stupid it is to conflate different, complex matters and lump them together for emotionally satisfying, simplistic and superficial “analysis”. A standard approach of the left for a century and more.

There’s a place for discussion of the complicated history and issues of colonialism and imperialism, but this discussion isn’t it, because it’s simply not relevant to the issues under discussion. But the discussion of galloping domestic totalitarianism in Germany in particular but also here, by extension, is absolutely, directly relevant and important.

You’re wrong. The statement being responded to was that “all Germans” have “reverted”.

Your assertion that there was “almost no point of similarity” between German and British concentration camps (the latter being more recent) marks you out as a bonehead.

You obviously don’t want to see things from the point of view of the victims. What inmate of a concentration camp ever gave the slightest glimmer of a toss for whether the rulers who set the system up were “domestic” or “imperial”? It feels the same.

British culture is mostly extremely deferential. The British rulers have long treated their “subjects” as if they were “natives”, as many have pointed out. Not surprising, given the divided nature of the school system. Careful, or I will mention that fingerprinting was tried out under British rule in India and then used in London.

It is nothing short of staggering watching this evil unfold before us. Some still insist today that the horrors of Nazi Germany had nothing to do with ‘ordinary’ German men and women. It was merely the ‘authorities’ who were responsible for the dehumanising of others and carrying out atrocities. Yes, they grant, ‘ordinary’ German men and women looked away, kept their heads down out of fear, but they never willingly participated in these acts. While there were many brave and moral German men and women who stood firm, and indeed met the same fate as the social outcasts for their troubles, there were just as many if not more ‘ordinary’ German men and women who were swept along with the crowds and came to hold vile beliefs with regard to their fellow man, and yes, they willingly participated in the dehumanising of these social outcasts, from ‘small’ acts of socially shunning these outcasts to committing atrocities.

To suggest the extreme in the other direction is an emotional reaction. And that is just as stupid a belief as believing wearing masks will save us all, or othering those who choose not to take the vaccine for whatever reason.

ITEM: “The shocking number of Australian companies that have sacked staff for not getting jabbed” – “Almost a third of employers have sacked staff members for refusing to get the Covid vaccine, according to a new survey,” reports the Mail Australia. Corporate Australia is running amok. Although there are state-government-imposed No-Jab-No-Job vaccine mandates in operation for most of Australia’s states (Victoria, Western Australia and the Northern Territory have the widest scope impinging on some 75% or more of the total workforce, whilst the other states have targeted ‘just’ health care workers, teachers and cops), the proportion of employers who have acted on their own initiative is well above those who have been (happily) compelled to do so.   Six in ten of all employers are making the Covid vaxx mandatory for at least a portion of their staff and most of those are making it mandatory for all staff. The same proportion (six in ten) say vaxx status will influence their hiring decisions. This is where it could get tricky. Many of the HR managers said they were “worried about skills shortages and recruitment problems”. They are gung-ho about sacking good, experienced, skilled staff, yet they can’t easily replace them with equally meritorious staff, particularly as… Read more »

The lad Heffer is clueless to the real world. Many people had indoor get togethers last winter. Whether it be parties, watching football, or informal meetings.

Stay at home orders actually in winter actually increased the threat of virus spread in many situations. Shutting pubs, shops and sports stadiums were failed psy-ops. Shutting schools has has horrific outcomes for children, young Arthur being the tip of the sphere, regarding that.

Mr Heffer would be best writing with a view to stopping the same nonsense from Jan 5th.

Over at DM the singer is getting savaged by the commentators. Reminder that sadly, we are not the majority yet. If people knew the actual data on masks (on all of it) they would be more reasonable, but media won this battle.

it’s why the government doesn’t have to explain why it’s panicking when hospitalization numbers went up from 7406 to 7413 over a week’s time. So terrifying. Anyone seen that data pushed by the media?

Enemy Watch update.

For the second day in succession the BBC has a prominent feature on their “news” website regarding mandatory “vaccinations”.

As you would expect filled with bias, misinformation of the sort that would be gold dust for any real fact checkers; the purpose obviously to maintain the issue at the front of people’s minds whilst giving the less able thinkers in the country a subtle nudge.

A tactic too subtle for the sheep to notice; the politicians go temporarily quiet on something, the MSM get nudging….then the politicians start the pressure on the issue once the public have had the saturation “carpet bombing”.

I know people here don’t like the MSM being discussed much,I am choosing to dip in now and then to see what level the propaganda is at. (Also helps with pre-warning what new kind of nonsense might be spouted at you in the pub/train etc)

Feel free to ignore the links….shite and predictable doesn’t quite cover it!

Thanks for this. “Austria is introducing a vaccine mandate from February and other nations around the world are also looking at their options. This complex situation has many viewpoints”“Mandatory vaccinations: Three reasons for and against” This is exactly what you say it is. Austria is set to go further still, with a plan to introduce mandatory vaccinations for all by February. This would not mean Austrians being forcibly injected. No? So will the Austrian government be running unvaccinated wings in prisons for those who refuse to pay fines for resisting “vaccination”? Or will they let refuseniks mix willy-nilly with prisoners who have been “vaccinated”? Thom Poole needs to think a bit harder about this. There will be a huge level of non-payment of fines, AND THEN SOME. Austria at the moment has about 9000 people in prison. An Austrian study distinguished between the 14.5% of the country’s 9m population who were unprepared to get vaccinated and the 9% who were simply hesitant. Jailing even 0.3% of the population would QUADRUPLE the Austrian prison population. Quite obviously there isn’t enough prison space and other places of detention would have to be used. And 0.3% of the population is ONE IN FIFTY… Read more »

Wait until they start building “quarantine facilities” in Austria to “concentrate” those who choose not to get jabbed, in one spot.

I’m looking forward to being challenged for no face nappy this weekend. No one said a word last weekend, but after Wednesday’s announcement, the Covid marshalls could be on a state of high alert. Bring it on you fascist c*nts.

I don’t know your personal situation so this isn’t directed at you, but there is the general point that if a person envisages participating in a resistance movement against fascism in the near or fairly near future, the sensible course of action at the present time is probably different from marching maskless into a Tesco store in which 95% of other customers are wearing masks.
