Touch Christmas and the Blond Gets It

Furious Tory MPs have warned Boris that if any more Covid restrictions are brought in over the festive season it will cost him his job. MailOnline has more.

Boris Johnson was under growing pressure last night not to impose lockdown restrictions that will ruin Christmas for the second year in a row.

The Prime Minister is considering curbs on mixing indoors in England that could be announced within days.

And Health Secretary Sajid Javid yesterday refused to rule out Covid measures coming into force before Christmas Day.

Tory MPs last night said any attempt to toughen rules before Christmas will provoke letters seeking to oust Mr. Johnson as party leader.

And ministers indicated they will not back new curbs. Rishi Sunak is understood to be arguing that they need to plot a clear route out of restrictions before they are imposed, while Liz Truss says she is “uncomfortable” with the current curbs.

It comes as the official number of confirmed cases of the Omicron variant rose by nearly 50% to 37,000 in just 24 hours.

Families are desperate to spend Christmas together after last year’s Covid lockdown rules meant millions were forced to be apart or severely scale back their celebrations.

It is understood Mr. Johnson is resisting calls for restrictions ahead of December 25th, but there are mounting fears they will be imposed after that, spoiling New Year plans for millions.

Scientists are urging the Prime Minister to bring in restrictions quickly, amid warnings that hospitals will struggle to cope with rising infection numbers.

Mr Javid repeatedly declined to rule out imposing tough restrictions before Christmas as he warned there are “no guarantees” Christmas Day will go ahead without a lockdown. The Health Secretary acknowledged that data about the Omicron variant remained incomplete – but suggested it might be necessary to make decisions before a full picture is available.

“If you wait until data is absolutely perfect it may well be too late,” he said.

The Health Secretary admitted “everything is under review” after SAGE delivered a grim assessment that the number of infections could reach two million by the end of the month without tougher restrictions – floating a “circuit breaker” ban on households mixing and closure of non-essential shops.

That quotation is an admission that they can’t seem to get the stats to justify a lockdown. Last I checked it was only 7 deaths with Omicron, which is something like one death every 2 days.

He’s admitting that if they wait for the data, they’ll never get to lock us down.

There is no Covid, there is just criminally mislabelled death and fraudulent diagnosis based on tests that are not fit for purpose which are being systematically and deliberately abused to produce as many false positives as possible. Its a scam and it could not be more obvious if it tried, yet here we are and all the so called sceptics are still swallowing the bullshit whole. Why do people keep buying their lies. They rigged the death registration system to facilitate this: COVID 19 Is A Statistical Nonsense https://in-this-together.com/covid-19-is-a-statistical-nonsense/ The overwhelming majority of medical and care staff, coroners, pathologists, ONS statisticians and funeral directors have no desire to mislead anyone. However, in the case of COVID 19 deaths, the State has created a registration system so ambiguous it is virtually useless. The statistical product recorded by the ONS, despite their best efforts, is correspondingly vacuous. This is the reality of the bullshit everyone has been fed. Its all fraudulent, none of it is validated, and assuming their big lie about a novel virus to be true is to be foolish. Until these known liars produce verifiable concrete evidence that what they are saying is true, folk are trusting in people… Read more »

Everything you say is right, but many (most?) people who consider themselves sceptics do not want to hear it. They prefer not to acknowledge the vast scale of the deception and the numbers of people involved. So as to not rock the boat too much they accept much of what this criminal regime says – including that there is an actual Sars Cov II virus causing death, there is a pandemic but its been mishandled/overblown, the ‘vaccines’ work to some extent and the regimes politburo will at some point face justice. None of it is true of course – but its how they get through their day.

There are a few things to understand. They are brainwashed and have been initiated into a cult. The mind does not change in an instant, its a process.

Its also very important to sell the idea that freedom itself is a stake, and unless they want to live in a dystopian future where they have to receive unlicened genetic injections just to access basic freedoms, they need to pay attention to what is going on and start listening to alternative views.

Since Johnson admitted the inefficacy of these substances in infection and transmission, it seems to me that the narrative is now more about that old favourite, “protecting the NHS”, with the emphasis on how every Covid admission deprives someone (implicitly the worthy “vaccinated”) of a bed, an operation; whatever. I suspect that’s what is at the back of the “90% unvaccinated” lying propaganda, spread by that TV doctor and the other shills, in broadcast and print media.

I really am perplexed what damage they are doing aside from undermining the narrative?

  1. The majority of the vulnerable over 50 who are able to have the vaccine have it already. It was pointed out to me in the chart below that some/many (don’t have data) vulnerable have been advised not to have the booster because of the risk it poses (e.g. neighbour with untreated (!) heart condition). Therefore, in that age segment, not been vaccinated is now a health decision, not a personal one. So there is nothing else you can do to improve figures here
  2. The under 50s are very unlikely to need hospitalisation – they are not the ones filling up the beds. Sure there are always exceptions. So the young not having the vaccine isn’t causing pressure on the NHS
  3. The vaccine clearly doesn’t stop the spread of the disease so not being vaccinated and younger isn’t spreading the disease. It’s more likely the vaccinated with negative effectiveness vaccines that are spreading it in greater numbers esp. as there are far more of them

So taken together, I’m perplexed why the unvaccinated are being singled out as a danger.

Very difficult to disagree with the figures as published so the chart is accurate – in that it’s just a plot of UKHSA data. However, totally accept that the underlying method of gathering the data and putting together the table of figures is up for debate. If you read the blog where these charts are constructed, there is plenty of analysis.

Regarding your last paragraph, you are absolutely right. The letters page of the local daily rag, now sustained by limitless taxpayer-funded full-page advertising, is full of letters from the same weary people that have nothing much else to do. Nowadays, as well as being idiots as usual, they have now taken up the “mandatory vaccine” cause with gusto. I suppose they get most of their information from the usual suspect media, which explains their lack of knowledge and inability to think things through.

I believe the usual description is “brainwashed”.

The papers are talking about the “cabinet revolt”. Of course, their real worry is the public revolt, but they dare not mention that: it would be incitement.

if they do decide to make it “guidance” rather than enforcement, the fear and guilt-tripping will be laid on very thick indeed. I won’t be at all surprised if they make the booster people work on Christmas Day, bribing them to stay away from their families on the day itself, with the line “think of the people sacrificing their Christmas to protect you”.

Hospitals have struggled for years and years, before all this, of being overwhelmed, not helped at all by continuing cuts and increasing reduction of ICU beds. And now we have a “virus” being driven by “cases”, not actual illness, that mean absolute jack as they are being “diagnosed” with a tests that don’t test for covid, that give false positives/negatives but which the majority of the public have lost their minds over to shove into orifaces at every opportunity this keeping this baby going! The illness if they do have it, is no more than a mild common cold so what’s the real truth about that the hospitals “will struggle to cope”?!!!

The hand waving over the NHS is just scaremongering bluster. This whole government needs an enema with a Christmas tree.

It looks as if the Tory Party is getting in position to ditch Mr Toad.

But don’t make the mistake of seeing that as something to celebrate – there’ plenty of equally bad in the replacement stakes.

Given Johnson is a former editor of The Spectator you have to be sure that he knows of Fraser Nelson’s “most read” article on The Spectators’s website regarding the manipulated “disaster only” modelling scenarios that SAGE have been providing him and COBRA. I’m just aghast (and angered) how he and the government can keep pushing this narrative now that information is out in the open.

The only chance left is getting the moron Boris out of office and getting a real Tory in. The danger, of course, is that is unlikely to happen, and this illiberal moron will somehow be replaced with an even more illiberal moron.

More fool you if you fall for this hysterical claptrap. Be sensible, but get on and live your life. Since when has this country been scared of a cold?

Lockdown or not, the terrible damage they’re doing to relationships between friends and family will ruin Christmas (at the very least) anyway.

Just stop testing with faulty PCR and LF tests and the whole thing will go away of its own accord.

I was astounded to hear Prof. Carl Heneghan in a short slot on the R4 “Today” programme this morning; a professional medical man, rather than the charlatan modeller Beeb favourite Ferguson. I caught only a brief part at the end, but the Professor was saying that we could not, should not have a lockdown every winter for respiratory diseases.

I guess that it’s unduly sanguine to think that there is a tiny move towards hearing other sane, more considered, and non-hysterical views aired at that broadcaster.

Funny how when a pro-lockdown expert is quoted there is no counter from anyone with an opposing view, but when someone like Heneghan is the lead item in the article there is always an ‘other experts say the opposite’ section – quite often larger than the initial story.

The BBC can’t resist can they?

In the absence of a wheelchair bound, transgender female, ethnic minority, Zahawi would fit the diversity and inclusion quota quite nicely.

The mood of the nation is splashed all over the comments section of this publication, Conservative woman, The Daily Mail/Express, even the Telegraph etc. and yet our government seems unable to fathom that the public has had enough.

Javid can take his veiled threats to the unjabbed and shove the up his harris!

What is so endlessly terrifying now is the normalisation of this. It is now an accepted idea in society that a group of human beings have the power and the moral right to wave their hand and shut down the rights and lives of another group of human beings.

I doubt there is any coming back from this unless the coma induced masses rise up as one entity and physically burn these neo-feudalists out of their castles.

So in that respect, the Mullahs trying to ‘cancel Christmas’ this year might be the boost we need.

Let’s hope his fear of the 1922 committee is greater than his fear of SAGE. He appears to be driven by fear rather than principles or logical thought.

Since the SAS owe their allegiance to the Queen, might it not be their duty to excise those UK individuals (committing treason) or foreign individuals (enemies of her State) who are harming her realm?

It comes as the official number of confirmed cases of the Omicron variant rose by nearly 50% to 37,000 in just 24 hours.

And at the same time total Covid “cases” dropped by 8,000, so a less dangerous disease is replacing the worse Delta.
What is the problem with that?
Oh yes, the hospitals.
The problem there is the number of staff “isolating” because they were in contact with an “infected” person – isn’t that what hospitals have always done, to come into contact with ill people?
Where are the protocols that mitigate the risk? Heavens, they are all wearing masks and we are assured that they protect everybody.

Medicine went wrong with the creation of the ‘germ’ theory of disease by Pasteur, something he is alleged to have repudiated on his deathbed saying “the microbe is nothing, terrain is everything”.
The rot had set in, first the snake oil salesmen had a field-day, then early-day Pharma criminals in the US corrupted the teaching of medicine to push their, often useless/dangerous, potions. Ending up where we are today with the US narco state pushing its ‘one drug fits all’ ‘germ theory’ cures on everyone on the planet regardless of genetics, immune status, age, or existing morbidities – every single one of which is a potential confounder of any claimed benefit.

I’ve got an idea. If you want to order from shops online, hide indoors,wear a face nappy outside and be ruled by a tyrant etc, fine, but open everything up completely to those of us who are no longer scared, if, indeed, we ever were, by the “experts” prophesying doom and death. I am triple vaccinated, and have undoubtedly a load of all sorts of antibodies from my 75 years of life, plus I had a major op a year ago and am back to normal, proving my underlying health is A1. If you want to remain a slave to unelected Sages, fine, but count me out. They are liars and should be exposed as such
