Boris Warns of ‘Challenges in Coming Weeks’ in NYE Message Hinting at New Restrictions Next Week
We’re not out of the woods yet. According to MailOnline, tonight may be our last night of freedom for some time as the usual doom-mongers warn Boris he must impose new restrictions.
Johnson is expected to make a decision in the first week of the New Year on whether to restrict mixing indoors in England…
The Prime Minister opted not to impose new curbs between Christmas and New Year’s Eve but rising Covid case numbers are fuelling fears that new measures could be on the horizon.
A further 189,213 coronavirus cases were recorded across the UK yesterday – a new record high – while the number of hospital patients with Covid in England rose to 11,452, a rise of 61% in just one week.
Johnson said in his New Year’s Eve message that the nation’s position in the battle against the disease is now “incomparably better than last year” thanks to the vaccine rollout.
It came as NHS bosses warned that the Government “needs to be ready to introduce tighter restrictions at real speed should they be needed”.
Chris Hopson, the head of NHS Providers, said new curbs “may be needed at pace if the evidence warrants it” as he said health bosses “still don’t know” if there will be a surge in elderly hospitalisations which could trigger Mr Johnson to act.
Meanwhile, a Government scientific adviser today warned it is likely the NHS will be overwhelmed by the spread of the Omicron variant.
Professor Peter Openshaw, who sits on the Government’s New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said: “I think we haven’t quite reached the threshold that was set by Government in terms of the NHS being overwhelmed, but it looks like that will be reached quite quickly.”

This is going to become an annual event (or events). As it is a moveable feast, like Easter, the dates will change slightly year to year.
And can someone remind me – how many days ago was it that TY was writing about how Mr Johnson had showed great “leadership” by not imposing restrictions like the other 3 nations of the UK?
Some of us pointed out that he was only refraining “for now”. And here he is, warning he might have to impose restrictions once NY is over.
I think the phrase that springs to mind is “I Told You So”
Sadly, despite my support for TY’s efforts with LS/DS, I have to agree. There is nothing like a longstanding friendship blowing up in your face, spectacularly.
Any further restrictions will be ignored, also this will fuel the fire that vaccinations were not worth it.
How the government can claim that we are in a better position with injections despite record case numbers and then return to the use of masks and implement more restrictions is a complete mystery, though I expect the lab rats will lap it up.
It’s not about a virus, as will become clear over the next 12 months.
But it could very well be that the situation has not changed at all by next December, just that people will be on their 5th jabs, and the kiddies on their 2nd or 3rd.
Face masks will still be worn in shops, public transport, etc.
This is about the Government and SAGE telling you what to do. They say, you do.
They say, you ignore them, would be more appropriate. Then they’ve lost support altogether, from sane people.
It’s already abundantly clear it’s not about a virus
La Quinta Columna discussing 26Ghz effects on graphene transistors.
I read somewhere else that the 5G is supposed to be “switched on” or activated on 5 January 2022.
Does this mean that we will soon see the vaxxed collapsing in the streets?
What will happen to the unvaxxed?
We’ll have to make a run for it. Or pretend to collapse, or we’ll risk getting rounded up as a clear and present danger to the experiment.
Like dog poo left on the footpaths of wet London streets in winter; you just step over the piles on the path.
“Any further restrictions will be ignored”
Try ignoring them if you want to leave the country or re-enter it.
Looks like ‘Delta’ is back and ravaging Aberdeenshire – cheaper than making up a new variant, I suppose!

Ah but imagine how bad things will have been without the vaccines is what the sheeple will say
You’re not wrong here. This is how it will get turned. And you will have to live amongst these fuckwits for the rest of your life – that’s the really scary bit!
you have been living with them all along well before Year Zero.
Exactly but as everyone now knows it’s all about restrictions not about a virus.
Nervtag are a cancer on our society – absolute scum the lot of them.
Well, no-one is doing anything to remove them from society, so I guess they’ll just carry on with their psychological abuse. I bet they’re all on good pay, too!
Paid by us!
What angers me is that witlessand harpies are getting honours basically for unjustly I poisoning and terrorising an entire nation, ruining the futureand mentalhealth of a generation and condemning hundreds of thousands to death if they have a condition other than covid.
Agree. Even the name Nervtag (Neurotic Extremist Totalitarian Action Group? ). They are mostly unhinged behaviourists and modellers. The naïveté of politicians in consulting these cranks defies belief.
Not really – the politicians get someone to blame, and they get someone they can use to promote their agenda.
No, not naivete. It gives Johnson an opportunity to unleash their inner tyrant and tell the dirty proleshow to live, if the last 22 months can be called living
“We’re not out of the woods yet.” Oh good Lord only the severely hard of understanding thought we were “out of the woods”. The Big Lie remains firmly embedded, as do a whole plethora of restrictions and evils costing billions and disrupting life. Be prepared for this to take decades to unravel fully.
5 January has been mentioned for a few weeks now as the likely start of the next lockdown in England, with restrictions for unvaccinated people on reopening.
Won’t be stopping me, I will be bulldozing my way into any pub or shop I want and I won’t be showing any papers
Seeing is believing! Any ‘unvaccinated’ French bulldozing their way onto the Eurostar trains in Paris, or other long-distance trains in France?
Any ‘unvaccinated’ Lithuanians bulldozing their way into shops where ‘Vaxx passes’ are required?
Anyone without their ‘vaccine/Covid papers’ bulldozing their way through airports and harbours?
If any such thing happened it would be filmed (badly) and put up on brandnewtube.
Sounds about right. Where did you get the 5th date from though? Curious.
My expectation would be that, because Monday 3 January is a public holiday, the government machine will not be able to slip this past a token Cabinet meeting before 4 January, with any new restrictions coming into effect at midnight. (That leaves the whole weekend for the SPI-M and the rest of the medical mafia to ramp up the pressure on MPs to go along with it all.) Sadly, it’s all becoming rather predictable
but HOC voted against vaxx passports did they not so how can there be restrictions for unvaxxed people when there are no powers for that?
Irreversible roadmap…
It will start to unravel this year as thousands die.
It will be millions of deaths by 2030. Watch this, 16 minutes:

He’s furious isn’t he – really emphatic. Yeadon asks people to share this with others. How can you drop a truth bomb like this one on the many jabbed???
I tried the other day to set out the facts for a multiple jabbed friend – I used those in the letter which PH Law has sent to the MHRA asking for the jab to be suspended. My friend not only didn’t want to know, but simply could not accept that the jabs are either not safe or not effective – and believes that it is everyone’s DUTY to be jabbed – for the common good.
Agenda 2030 so eight years before completion as of tomorrow.
Let’s all be in no doubt who is driving this
We can vaccinate 70% of the world against Covid by mid-2022. Here’s how | Bipasha van der Zijde | The Guardian
See left hand column of this story …
So of those 11,000 in hospital how many aquired it there?
Until they start giving the facts we all know this is bs, but the facts won’t fit there narrative. There’s a piece in the DM today with Hopson saying hospitalisations due to ‘covid’ are down, so not sure where his quote above is from. Perhaps they made him do another one since his first didn’t say what they wanted to hear.
So, that’s 13 per hospital in England. Judging by data from South Africa, they’re likely to be there for about 3 days. Probably no more than a typical flu season, and as there’s no flu whatsoever this year or last (chortle, chortle), exactly why is this a problem?
So, ‘omicron’ is in most cases very mild and more or less a common cold. But in Covidism logic this is enough to shut down the economy and imprison the commoner.
More Testing = More Cases = Less Freedom
I think the game is up Johnson, you are not going to get away with this anymore.
Who is going to stop him? If it comes to a vote in Parliament Labour will choose totalitarianism so as we have seen, Tory rebels can can’t win. The only course is mass civil disobedience and Imean aconcerted effort by businesses, schools and us, thepublic.
Who’s going to be a hero after that Welsh cinema?
How can you protect the NHS when they are allowed to take 5 weeks off (fully paid) no questions asked. Maybe we need protecting from them.
Has anyone actually asked them why they have not increased hosputal capacity one jot since the beginning of this shitshow (clue-it’s decreased)?
Thought not.
What kind of absolute nonsense is this:
Chris Hopson, the head of NHS Providers, said new curbs “may be needed at pace if the evidence warrants it” as he said health bosses “still don’t know” if there will be a surge in elderly hospitalisations which could trigger Mr Johnson to act.
I might shit myself tonight if I drink my bodyweight in vodka, but it’s too early to tell if I will actually drink my body weight in vodka, but I must be ready to put on a nappy if I decide to, and fast, if the evidence warrants it. Of course I might not drink my body weight in vodka, and even if I did the evidence isn’t clear it would lead to incontinence.
If you shit yourself after drinking your bodyweight in vodka, would you care or even notice?
Wasn’t freedom day irreversible?
That was just an excuse for delaying it, by about a month if I recall correctly. They said they were delaying it to make it irreversible.
And it was a lie.
“First they steal the words, then they steal the meaning”. I’m old enough to remember the time when mothers were women.
I can even remember when the vast majority of children had mothers who were married to their fathers.
Swelp me.
Yes. Until 5th January.
By my reckoning, that would mean the useless “vaccines” have failed. This Winter was always the test.
Surely, in a sane world, catching omicron and producing anti-bodies, would be seen as a good thing and which affords natural immunity… I clearly live in a different universe to Johnson and his gang.
They still have to pretend they’re doing something about da virus. If they really believe catching Omicron is a good thing, they are not going to say it; Saint Boris remembers the ridicule of “herd immunity”. I wish I could believe that they are going for herd immunity by stealth, following their non-action of the last week, while constantly telling us that restrictions are just around the corner to keep us frightened and compliant, but they just don’t live on the same planet as the rest of us. Does he think we’ll have forgotten about the Christmas parties by the time he does call restrictions?
That’s a Christmas business meeting with cheese and wine to you. 🙂
Please exercise some restraint ,it is verboten to speak of natural immunity everyone knows it is heresy , you must never speak of this again, you’re putting us all at risk in this comments section.
Covid has been portrayed as a death sentence to terrify people and sadly many have believed the lie.
Bedwetters.
The injections are the death sentences:

Even the CDC says the tests are rubbish –
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/huge-cdc-withdraws-use-pcr-test-covid-finally-admits-test-can-not-differentiate-flu-covid-virus/
seasonal cold or flu anybody?
What a reason to trash the economy and peoples lives
Fake news I’m afraid.
The CDC have never said the PCR test can’t differentiate between Covid and flu. They are making sure new tests can differentiate the two with one test instead of two separate tests.
Scientists have always known the PCR test is highly accurate and specific for detecting a virus but not whether it is infectious or not.
The current PCR test has been withdrawn by the CDC but there are many other now FDA approved PCR tests that they will be using as listed here ……
https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-emergency-use-authorizations-medical-devices/in-vitro-diagnostics-euas-molecular-diagnostic-tests-sars-cov-2
All of them calibrated to find segments of a mental construct.
No, current Covid PCR tests are calibrated with a long partial string of the gene sequence of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-2 only which has 29,603 base pairs and has been laboriously “whole gene sequenced” over 6 million times.
“We were aware of autoimmune attacks on ones own tissues expressing spike protein to which our killer lymphocytes were primed, such as myocarditis.
But what’s new is the revelation that lymph node cells are also being invaded by the gene-based agents and marking THEM for auto destruction.
When you destroy that part of the immune system, which we loosely call “immune surveillance”, every manner of nasty, latent infections, by viruses & also bacteria, explode, uncontrolled.
Hundreds of millions of people are going to die of unrestrained tuberculosis, Epstein Barr virus, toxoplasmosis etc etc etc.”
– Mike Yeadon & Sucharit Bhakdi.
The spike protein is the bio-weapon, no virus required.
Precisely but Mike Yeadon and Sucharit Bhakdi both KNOW that viruses exist.
It’s only idiots like you who keep spouting the “viruses don’t exist” nonsense.
I don’t say that, I say sars-cov-2 doesn’t exist and have already clarified that for you in a previous comment.
They needed a believable mechanism for S1 transmission, so they invented a new coronavirus until mass vaccination took over.
Your insistence on their being a virus really baffles me, considering you link to articles by Bhakdi and therefore must also believe the jabs are a trojan horse meant to cause mass harm. But a fake virus is one step too far? Hah, okay.
You just said SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t exist and in the next sentence you say they invented a new coronavirus.
Make your mind up.
Weak, you know exactly what I meant. Invented i.e. fabricated i.e. hoaxed. You believe it.
Nothing more than a string of letters in a data bank. Like feeding 500,000 letters and punctuation into a computer and instructing the computer to write Hamlet.
Your ignorance of modern virology and gene sequencing is astounding.
I’ll have you know that I’ve studied demonology, er, virology extensively and found it wanting and needing to be burned down. Are you a virologist ? No worries. Uber Eats is hiring.
You’re a Lanka Wanka.
Can you replicate what Lanka does in a laboratory?
Neither can I. We each rely on the ‘expertise’ of others to prove the other wrong in these matters, with our own research mixed in. Our opinion of what can and can’t be real factors into this equation heavily.
Scientists regard Lanka as an irrelevance and not worthy of their valuable time as viruses have been shown to exist and infectious by modern virology many, many times. However, one scientist was shown this article on viruses and measles by Lanka. http://wissenschafftplus.de/uploads/article/Dismantling-the-Virus-Theory.pdf This is how the scientist responded to it. “Tissue culture is a technique that has been perfected, through trial and error, to keep eukaryotic tissue cells alive and happy in a flask. Scientists like Renato Dulbecco, David Eagle, and David Baltimore have contributed to modifying the technique to what it is today, involving media that includes all of the nutrients and growth factors that cells need in order to survive. Scientists all over the world perform these tissue culture techniques every day. I’m one of them. We never see cytopathic effects just doing these standard techniques (unless you’re really bad at cell culture and leave your cells unattended for too long). We only see cytopathic effects in response to manipulation of the cell culture, including but not limited to the addition of certain viruses or specific drugs. And yes, these experiments involve a control (mock). For example, this experiment finds cytopathic effects specific to SARS-CoV-2 in human cell… Read more »
A lab qualified scientist calling another lab qualified scientist an idiot. I’m not convinced.
But you know what would convince me? If a group of scientists, who were really worried about the spread of misinformation and it’s damage to society would just setup an experiment proving they have taken samples of sars-cov-2 from genuinely infected volunteers and identified the same ‘virus’ under electron microscope in multiple samples.
I believe there have been multiple rewards in excess of $1million offered in exchange for this proof, but I guess Gates pays his scientists too well.
Lanka was a “lab qualified scientist” 30 years ago when he discovered a virus on deep sea brown algae.
Since then he has done nothing in science.
However, he discovered fame and fortune by suggesting “viruses do not exist”, running his own magazine and website where he sells pills, lotions and potions to the gullible for vast amounts of money.
No other scientist in the world out of millions agrees with him and yet you choose to.
I listen to his evidence and add it to the pot for stewing.
“I listen to his evidence and add it to the pot for stewing.”
You need to put it in the bin because it is garbage.
I will follow my own instincts thanks, they have served me very well so far. In response to your cited study below, to save replying twice, that’s not what I had in mind.
That study used donated human lung cells that were inoculated with alleged sars-cov-2 (BetaCoV/Wuhan/IVDC-HB-01/2020|EPI_ISL_402119) for the purpose of the study.
I meant taking samples from confirmed infected patients and putting those directly under the microscope, finding the same virus in all of the samples and proving they are something new.
Your paper adds an unnecessary step that facilitates the insertion of the covid science using suspect ‘virus isolates’ from China.
“But you know what would convince me? If a group of scientists, who were really worried about the spread of misinformation and it’s damage to society would just setup an experiment proving they have taken samples of sars-cov-2 from genuinely infected volunteers and identified the same ‘virus’ under electron microscope in multiple samples.”
I’ve already linked to a paper that does just that.

https://viroliegy.com/2021/09/15/zhu-sars-cov-2-paper-2020/?fbclid=IwAR0Hmla1va7dYYcAQc2xRpCUWYGtz0ufuvbZr2TSBiNeUYWkIKuW1_nCerc
So what.
This was the very first paper and the world was on the brink of a (so-called) pandemic and they were under pressure to find the virus causing Covid-19.
Due to their skill they discovered SARS-CoV-2.
Future science papers showed that their work was correct.
The article in your link states ……
“Both left it up to future studies from different teams of researchers using different patients with different samples and different methods to prove their hypotheses for them.”
Your strongest argument to date. I predict you’ll follow with a debunked debunking of Lanka.
How long?
The unique partial sequence used to detect SARS-CoV-2 in the RT-PCR test.

I noticed this too. However, unless you’re going to run the test and only been then positive at a sensible cycle threshold value it’s still idiotic.
I personally don’t think it’s necessary any longer for mass testing.
Occasional sample PCR tests of the population to monitor SARS-CoV-2 should be done as we do for other viruses.
It’s endemic now and we will live with it like we do every other virus.
It should be down to personal choice if one has the jab or not but even though I am 66 I have always refused all jabs.
My money is on they knew this all along but it was convenient to use them to kick the whole panic off.
Did you hear the one about the lady on the plane who had a sore throat and tested herself mid flight? She got a positive result [quelle surprise] and took herself off to self isolate in the plane loo for 5 hours until the flight landed.
She likely had the flu or something but I am wondering if due to what can only be considered to be the health hysteria which has been sweeping the globe for almost 2 years she convinced herself she had the “deadly virus”
Saint Boris’s usual total non-information of piffle waffle, piffle waffle. “This might happen… er… this might happen…” While we are all wondering if our businesses are going to collapse thanks to him, as usual, he and his merry men are sitting there laughing at us, watching us squirm in uncertainty.
If he calls lockdown, that will be a massive admission of failure of his hallowed booster programme – but of course, he won’t frame it like that, he will just blame the public.
The WHOLE jabbing programme [not just the boosterism] will look like a crock – protects no one from nothing and has the potential to cause a whole lot of unnecessary harms and yet they continue to push it while supressing the things that do work like Ivermectin etc. likely because they have pre-ordered a load of batches and have to use it up.
It’s endemic. We’re all going to be infected at some point. Let’s get it and move on.
They really have to detail with vs of hospitalisations; ‘the NHS is overwhelmed’ argument doesn’t work if everyone has covid (all hospitalisations will be ‘with’) or, worse, most get covid when in hospital.
They coped last year when most were unvaccinated.
We’ve got an extra year of delayed treatment thanks to the notional health service that prefers wuflu foo fighting.

Hosputal bed occupancy was down 30% at the height of the ‘pandemic’ in spring 2020.
Seriously underwhelmed.
Well, it’s now up to the Conservative backbenches to rebel and make clear once and for all that the NHS bosses, SAGE and the MSM do not run the country. Let’s hope.
And the ‘people’ to do likewise.
Send those letters to Graham Brady if Peking Piffle tries to lpck down again. And for pity’s sake don’t replace him with Stabit Jabit.
This has to end. We need mass non-compliance. There is no possible rational reason for this charade to continue. I will not do ANYTHING to defend the wretched NHS.
But plenty of other sadly will.

Headline in Express.co.uk: “Omicron: The ‘scary’ telltale [sic] sign of the variant that strikes in the middle of the night”. Basically, the article goes on to explain that Omicron slips into bedrooms in the middle of the night and – I kid you not – attacks sleeping people and paralyses them. The Express then quotes the NHS: “Sleep paralysis is when you cannot move or speak as you are waking up or falling asleep.” When the Omicron special forces enter a sleeper’s bedroom at 3 a.m. they make noise that wakes up the victim – as they are noisy, they were obviously trained by the Chinese military, rather than the US’s. When the Omicron commandos see that their victim is waking up they immediately summersault across the bedroom and pounce on the sleeper and paralyses him or her. For all dimwit anti-vaxxers, I’ve included a picture of the Lilliputians paralysing Gulliver with ropes. Yes, you halfwit anti-vaxxers, if you don’t take your jabs and booster shots the Omicron special forces will sneak into your bedrooms in the middle of the night and do a Gulliver on you.

What a fucking wanker and also a wanker is anyone who believed Kim Jong Johnson had ‘held his nerve’ when he was merely scared of his own backbenchers.
Now, he’s going to get his revenge on the public and on backbenchers.
yep – just waiting for all the brouhaha over his mistakes to die down
Perhaps “NHS bosses” should stop waving shrouds and start doing what they are paid for: ensuring the NHS is resilient and can cope with all health problems.
These are not ‘doom-mongers’, they’re fantasists, the equivalent of Trofim Lysenko and the Piltdown Man Hoaxer.
Johnson is too weak to resist the demands of Savage Jabbit
Johnson is in too many financial difficulties to resist the Cabal.
Kim Jong Johnson was a Branch Covidian long before Jabbit rejoined the cabinet.
Kim Jong Johnson is responsible for his own choices, no matter what the mindless cult say.
They’re still persisting with the myth that this is about a mild virus!!!
I’ve been reporting for a few weeks now that I was talking to a friend who’s a fairly senior Rotarian and they have been requested to get volunteers in place for the 4th Jan for assistance with mass testing.
What sort of ‘assistance’?
Car parking and assisting with “tests”.
