Wales to Tighten Covid Restrictions Immediately After Christmas
On December 27th, the Welsh Government will introduce a series of new Covid restrictions which include shutting nightclubs, mandating that shops abide by social distancing protocols for both staff and customers, as well as bringing back work from home requirements. First Minister Mark Drakeford has declared that the spread of the Omicron variant necessitates this course of action, calling it “the most serious development in the pandemic to date”. MailOnline has more.
Until December 27th, the Welsh Government is encouraging people to follow five steps: getting vaccinated, making sure to have a negative lateral flow test result before going shopping or meeting people, meeting in well-ventilated areas (preferably outdoors), spacing out socialising to allow test days in between, and adhering to social distancing, wearing a face covering and washing hands.
It is also urging people to reduce contact with others over the coming days, especially if Christmas plans include seeing older or more vulnerable people.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said: “Delta will continue to be the main cause of Covid infections in Wales up to Christmas. But we are seeing cases of Omicron increasing rapidly every day in Wales, and across the U.K.
“We need a plan to keep us safe this Christmas and we need stronger measures to protect us afterwards, as we prepare for a large wave of Omicron infections.
“Omicron poses a new threat to our health and safety. It is the most serious development in the pandemic to date.
“It is one we must take seriously. We will continue to put in place proportionate measures to protect people’s lives and livelihoods.
“This is a virus which thrives on human contact. Every contact we have is an opportunity for us to spread or catch the virus.”
The changes for businesses comes with the announcement that up to £60 million will be available to support those affected by the new measures.
He added: “This year a smaller Christmas is a safer Christmas. The fewer people we see, the less chance we have of catching or passing on the virus.
“Please enjoy Christmas with your nearest and dearest, and think about meeting up with wider circles of friends when the threat posed by the Omicron variant has passed over.
“I also want to thank the many thousands of people who will be working this Christmas to keep us safe, especially all those who have cancelled their plans to work in the vaccination centres across Wales to increase our protection against this awful virus.”
The restrictions come after Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted today that the Government does not want to “lock stuff down” in England.
Instead, he urged Britons to “prioritise” social events, get a booster and do a lateral flow test before meeting people.

I just can’t bring myself to read this irrational, illogical nonsense any more.
If you believed it was so contagious, how could leaving it 10 days be acceptable to a covidiot? Same as England mandating vaccines for NHS staff, after the whuflu season ends, where the vaccines apparently only last 2 months.
Is this “The Science“?
There’s zero science and it’s not about health.
You & I know that, but how is it, so many others can’t see this lunacy?
They are congenitally stupid and incapable of expressing an opinion without having it endorsed by the BBC or Whitty?
Mass hypnosis/psychosis, whatever you want to call it.
There is clearly a human trait which is completely, independent of intelligence as we generally understand it, that makes some people be more susceptible to believing bullshit, their own or that of others.
This trait isn’t something our society has paid much attention too but it clearly should, because it obviously has the potential to create enormous harm.
In today’s “Daily Mail” Angus Dalgleish says ” I believe a climate of dread is being deliberately manufactured by scientists and my fellow medics”. But for the word “”is” he is correct. This climate has been induced since March 2020.
I see mostly in people who follow the authorities or think the authorities are to be followed. (authoritarian person)
Contrary to the expectation I see this happening mostly with people with high education and high positions! Not uneducated and low level positions!
Why? I think because these people are also in a position of authority and if they put out any order they expect people below them to follow also without question. So if they disobey the government and question authority their own little position gets shaken also.
Nothing wrong with following true authorities when there’s reasonable chance that the authorities know better than you. After all, we do it all the time, as a matter of professional specialization.
However, what people don’t seem to realize is that in this particular situation the authorities are just as uninformed, and possibly more likely to be misled and entangled in various conflicts of interest than an average person with their “street smarts”.
In other words, those people raining ominous recommendations on you are not really authorities – they just pretend to be because that is the role the society has assigned to them – for better or worse.
We used to live in Wales, my son was born there, but can anyone tell me who or what is this plonked Charlie Drakeford?
Plonker!
Do people actually still ‘live’ in Wales under the Drakeord Marxist Globalist Tyranny or is it just basic survival ‘existence’?
I live very well, thank you. I am quite capable of walking round a pile of Dung.
It’s something that crawled out of a sewage pipe a couple of decades ago, and has been festering ever since.
It was never about science. It’s about control and depopulation by lethal injection.
It’s mystic cultism, entirely dependent on faith.
‘Faith’ in Gates and Fauci – how to love your abuser!
!8 months of psy-op brainwashing propaganda from Michie and Coat the CCP and the sheepie are completely befuddled into totally irrational and dangerous behaviour – just a tweak from Whitty and they would all jump over the cliff
Good. The sooner the better. More room for us.
Mark Drakeford is a little bitch.
OBEDIENT little bitch, if you don’t mind!
Was TY’s bet specifically for England ?
It’s going to be interesting to hear Toby and Delingpole thrash this one out. I don’t think they were clear enough when they made their bet.
Delingpole was the bigger man last week and refused to claim victory. I expect Toby to be the bigger man this time and concede.
These lies really are becoming too much. South Africa has six weeks of dealing with an omicron wave and they have told the world it’s much less dangerous than delta and they’re not going to have any changes in their healthcare policy to deal with it. Meanwhile, Drakeford says the above. If British politicians aren’t running scared, they ought to be.
It’s lucky we’ve fully eradicated heart disease and cancer so that covid is the No1 killer. Give me a fucking break.
I took a walk past the vaccine center yesterday and there were people in their 20’s walking the streets with a bloody mask on. We get to the zebra crossing and even the people in cars have masks on.
Yes those poor fools at the vaccination centres are self selecting. Not a good place to be.
Lost…forget them, they are beyond help.
The Moronic (anag.) variant was announced by the WEF on 12 July, link to Wayback machine here, so they have had more than six weeks. ithttps://web.archive.org/web/20211126173158/https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/07/how-scientists-detect-new-covid-19-variants/
Astounded it’s been around so long.
Although when I think about things logically then it makes perfect sense.
As much as I’d love that to be true, that is a snapshot of the WEF’s updated story, the update being on 26th November. The first Wayback snapshot of the original story is from 12th July, no South Africa reference at the start. Sorry. Just wanted to make sure this wasn’t another seemingly triumphant silver bullet that is then equally triumphantly squashed.

I mean, FFS ! If you can’t see your being scammed now your probably better off dead.
How do the PTB look at themselves in the mirror each day. Absolute bare faced lying fuckers everyone of them .
Translation: seal yourself into an airless plastic bubble and die, for your own safety.
Should the welsh Taffia order Zorb ball’s (with kickbacks of course) for all of Wales’ population?
Businesses need to group together and start ignoring this shit. What are they going to do about? Seriously, try and arrest everyone? There’s still enough people around the U.K. who haven’t been brainwashed by this shit to force their way through this utter garbage!
Do you want to bet! In my experience the sheep vastly outnumber us.
The sheep may well outnumber the thinkers, but 10% of 70 million is still a lot of people.
This YouGov poll says different – for once…
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/poll-reveals-public-wants-to-party-on-despite-rapid-spread-of-omicron-mw997k8hs?utm_medium=email&utm_source=CampaignMonitor_Editorial&utm_campaign=LNCH%20%2020211217%20%20House%20Ads%20%20SM+CID_307150cdedd756da8301157d4125e87b
They’ve clocked that they’ve bee locked up because of a testdemic testing for a mild cold, or even asymptomatic!
It is. Remember we make 10 times more noise into the bargain.
Well they do have Satan on their flag.
This is insane
That sums it up perfectly
If, as seems to be the case, omicron is mild and catching it will confer natural immunity with few serious side effects, then what Drakeford says “It is the most serious development in the pandemic to date” is correct because it destroys the political agenda and any case for Pfizer’s snake oil.
The plan is to destroy small and medium size businesses..
They destroyed mine in the first lot of lockdowns so at least this time I won’t have to worry
Mine too! Just glad I decided to shut it down last year and not try to struggle on towards Boris’ sunny uplands of freedom…
…and the rest, that’s just the start.
Whether planned or not, that’s definitely the effect.
And for further evidence of the grotesqueness of all this, google Amazon stock price and see what’s happened in the last 2 years.
Lockdowns are basically the modern day equivalent of a group of mobsters moving into a neighbourhood and taking over businesses by force.
“This is a virus which thrives on human contact.”
As opposed to other more traditional viruses that prefer to keep their distance and communicate with their host via fax machine?
How much more of this horse shit are people going to swallow before they wake up?
Gallons more.
Haha classic.
I never thought about it like that. Bit like Drakeford. You should socially distance from him.
And the award for the funniest comment of the day goes to……….
i cannot stop laughing
Cultivating “Dumb Britain ” for 20 years has brought dividends for the Fascist Corporate Globalists – with total control of the Media it has all been so very easy for them!
Let’s hope Welsh people are too thick to know the difference between guidance and law, eh Drakeford.
‘making sure you have a negative lateral flow test before going shopping or meeting people’.
Yes, what a sensible measured precaution. If anything it doesn’t go far enough. Everybody should take a lateral flow test every waking hour of the day. The government should mail them out to every man woman and child in the kingdom. Masks should be worn whilst sleeping. In fact, fuck it, people should have to wake up in the middle of the night to have a lateral flow test. No one should come within 250 yards of anyone else. Every door should be welded shut, forever. People should wear a sealed plastic bag covering their entire head. Vaccine boosters should be taken
monthly,weekly,daily,hourlyok people should just be hooked up to a permanent drip of booster. What else. TV must be always on and permanently tuned to the BBC news. Other than that, merry christmas. Oh, don’t exchange gifts. or cards. Or share a meal. Otherwise, enjoy.The tests are of course what is driving the “cases” which drives more tests…
It’s like drinking more alcohol as a precaution against drunkenness
Thanks Chris w for the heads up on the upcoming restrictions.
It would be best if everyone could wear a bracelet or watch which tests the blood continuously and delivers a live stream of data to the health office. If any sign of virus is detected, you should be automatically locked down in your “smart home” (which in the future is remote controlled by your government, of course). Just give it a few years.
What a F×ckin surprise:NOT.
Was showing a colleague the news about another three footballers taken off the pitch with breathing difficulty in the last week. Another colleague overheard and said ‘that’ll be covid’ to which I responded ‘no, it’s vaccine damage and they need to stop lying about jab safety’ and his response?
Brace for this…
He said footballers shouldn’t expect to have long careers anyway because of the physical strain and the jabs are worth the risk because covid is pretty much a guaranteed death sentence!
Some are so far beyond reach it’s hard to comprehend.
Loads of footballers had covid before the vaccines where available and not only did none of them die, none even required any treatment beyond what you’d do for a bad cold.
And in most reports of players ‘having covid’ when you read the full account it was simply that they, like the majority of ‘cases’, had a positive test result so weren’t even symptomatic. When you try explaining to people the difference between ‘covid’ and SARS CoV2, and the misuse of the term ‘cases’ you can see their eyes glaze over.
PCR tests are a total fraud – a ‘positive’ test is npt an infection – they cannot detect a live virus and at the 40 cycles used by the NHS to amplify the results they are 97% ‘false positives’
This has bee a fake Drosten PCR pandemic from the very start. They have upped PCR test numbers to create the OMICRON Fake figures .
People are now so gullible and clueless – I suspect that 30 yeacvrs ago they cold not have got away with this enormous scam – the population was more canny..
This has been an event brought to you by Fauci and Gates – working as a team.
Yay….I got a down vote….do I get a prize?
Perhaps, unlike the meek, us sceptics WILL INHERIT THE EARTH!!
It will be a pretty empty place at this rate.
More room for us.
What explanation does your colleague have for there being no similar footballer injuries for the 18 months of covid up until vaxes began in mid 2021?
I’m nowhere near skilled enough to break through that much brainwashing.
This is the same guy who last week was complaining about feeling like shit after taking the booster jab.
So brainwash him a bit more then tell him the booster contains a live virus and he needs to test himself every day before he comes to work.
Eventually you will get lucky and he will get a false positive so he can stay away from the office for a while.
Matt Le Tissier made excellent points about this on GB news last night
“bUt wHeRe iS hIs pHd?!!!!!”
iTs LoNG CoVId!!!!!!!!!! ”
I saw someone opine, on Twitter” Professional footballers lack vital fats and vitamins because of their diets and exercise regimes, which will leave them susceptible. 😭🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️ “tHeY aRen’T fAt EnOuGh AnD aRe UnHeAlThY”! 😅
“
More Twitter bollocks and of course they’ve only been dropping down clutching their chests since they were vaxxed. Of course it might be that footballers were simply fatter last season, but then again that would just be more bollocks.
Show your colleague this.
Here is the link https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/
It was never 146,937.
It’s a death cult on a grand scale, as is the climate change scam. They want the interventions that do the most harm and kill the most people in the long term.
You will have as many doses of vaccine as it takes to kill you.
That’s what liberals & socialists have in common, they spread misery & fear where ever they go.
Marxism is one of the most efficient ways to create a shortage, until it inevitably creates a shortage of living people.
To be honest, anyone who thinks the planet is overpopulated and kills themselves to do their bit to solve the problem has my complete respect.
…
I’m leaving Wales and off to see my family in South Africa. Credit to Cyril Ramaphosa. He realised his country needed tourism and held his nerve. Pity Drakeford doesn’t take lessons.
He has taken lessons from Marx and Schwab all his life – this is the ‘Big Moment” for this total nonentity, nasty little man.
“The restrictions come after Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted today that the Government does not want to “lock stuff down” in England. “
What a cunt the PM is. “Does not want”. Either “locking stuff down” is the right and logical thing to do, or it’s not. If it’s not then just fucking say so. What he’s really saying is “we will lock things down, but not yet”.
They’re all evil, pathetic C U Next Tuesdays!
has he “been given no choice” again?
Someone should pout a revolver on the table and leave the room – locking the door until the only worthwhile choice is made.
That would take all the fun away from the coming ‘damnatio memoriae’.
FUCK OFF!!!
Omnicon poses a new threat to our health and safety? Oh p!ss right off. The only threat is to your agenda, as more people wake up to the crap you’re trying to pull!
It’s a serious disease, Helena…. the State, I mean.
Yeah, we really need more restrictions here in Wales. I’m tired of stepping over bod1es in the street. The council doesn’t collect them for days. I see people collapsing in the supermarket every day. The NHS is stretched to the limit. Doctors and nurses are taken off front line duties on tik-tok in order to write cancellation letters for vital operations and tests. Many have had to reduce tea breaks to 30 mins and overworked GPs are being asked to work more three days a week. Thank goodness we have a hero like drakeford to steer us out of this mess.
I will say that my doctor has been very attentive to my needs. No I couldn’t get an appointment to get some meds for a sinus infection but when I broke my foot and needed a doctor’s letter to claim on the insurance he managed that super fast and even relived me of of £50 for the priveledge. Great bloke 🤔
Also they had to participate in the Jerusalem dance challenge last year… It takes time to practice.
I’m going for a walk in London tomorrow …
Anyone know anybody from the Isle of Wight who is heading to London tomorrow?
I’ll be enjoying the sea air in Bournemouth tomorrow…
Fuck off.
No
Can’t wait for these idiots to be ejected from their positions and the authority they’ve given themselves. Meanwhile, they must be ignored completely, because they are lying and they know we know they are lying.
So who is going to ‘eject’ hem when the sheep just love to comply …and even go that bit further?
The sheeple in the Valleys will vote Labour until they are no longer able to hold a pencil / crayon.
Serious question. I have had zero jabs, so in order to be considered as fully vaccinated for the purposes of a passport, do I have to have all three? And when the booster runs out of efficacy, will I have to go for all four?
This question has been asked around the interwebs in a jokey manner, but there is a serious issue here. If you have to have all the jabs, does that not suggest a course of treatment rather than vaccination? A course of genetic therapy, and what is the end point?
Or you could just keep out of the ‘program’ altogether, the DNA harvesting thing for their experimental gene therapies. Charlie opened yet another Lab the other day, its got to pay for itself with grants and funding
I’m not thinking for a nano second of being a participant in the clinical trial. But it’s a serious question. Why would anyone need to have all three jabs?
tetanus offers ten years’ worth of protection. but a 50 year old who had never received a tetanus shot would not be required to have five jabs in order to be considered as fully protected.
There is a reason that there isn’t a vaccine for the common cold and it isn’t that people wouldn’t pay the money
The “end point” is your “end point” surely?
It is a very interesting question.
Is there a point at which, even if you wanted to, you couldn’t catch up with the programme and you are permanently left out?
The only thing that can be said with certainty is that no one has a clue, especially not the technocrats making pronouncements nor the politicians fronting for them. Maybe someone in the Gates Foundation or at the WEF, you know the people actually calling the shots, may have an idea, but they won’t be telling their technocrat minions around the world until they need to. They get their info on a need to know basis, I’m sure.

there was a great video of tik tok dancing nurses and police cut with videos of dying patients and police kicking the shit out of legitimate protestors. ‘dancing tools’ rings a bell
I cant find anywhere
Helga’s waltzing with Renee.
So they want to shut down the pagan New Year’s Eve celebrations. They are not the chapel way.
