Sajid Javid Says New Restrictions Unlikely as England Wakes Up With Hangover
The Health Secretary has said additional Covid restrictions are unlikely this year. Let’s hope that’s not wishful thinking on his part. MailOnline has more.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Mr Javid insisted any fresh curbs on freedoms must be ‘an absolute last resort’, adding that the country is in ‘a far stronger position’ at the start of 2022 than it was 12 months ago.
Although Scotland and Wales had strict Covid rules, people living in other home nations flocked across the border for a chance to enjoy the New Year in style and in their best outfits.
In London thousands of people lined the banks of the River Thames to watch the capital’s fireworks and drone display, while Piccadilly Circus was packed despite calls for caution around social distancing.
Thousands of revellers of all ages gathered in nightclubs, bars and pubs in Leeds as they brought the New Year in with huge smiles.
And in one Manchester nightclub, some 10,000 people partied until 4am, although there were some skirmishes in Newcastle, with one man being led away by police.
Meanwhile, after being forced to close under last year’s lockdown restrictions, many bars and clubs in Liverpool were pictured crammed with thousands of partygoers yesterday evening.
The wild celebrations came as Sajid Javid vowed today to do everything in his power to avoid a lockdown this year.
There were heightened fears about the spread of the virus as U.K. had another daily record of 189,846 cases yesterday and 203 deaths.
The Office for National Statistics reported an estimated 2.3million people in the UK had Covid in the week ending December 23rd, setting another pandemic record.
Downing Street sources indicated that the Government’s work from home guidance is likely to be extended when it comes up for review next week because infections and hospitalisations are continuing to rise across the country.
While coronavirus cases are continuing to rise due to the fast-spreading Omicron variant, official figures showed yesterday that in parts of Britain up to four in 10 hospital patients with Covid were actually there to receive treatment for something else. The figure nationally is one in three.
Mr Javid said the numbers in intensive care units remained stable, meaning “we have welcomed in 2022 with some of the least restrictive measures in Europe”.
Mr Javid added: “Curbs on our freedom must be an absolute last resort and the British people rightly expect us to do everything in our power to avert them.”

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Given Javid said that means more restrictions are inevitable and will be based on ‘circumstances beyond our control’.
My thoughts exactly.
Lockdowns inevitable, coming shortly.
To be blamed on irresponsible revellers and dirty unvaxed, no doubt.
Just as Hitler was ‘forced’ to invade Poland because of the irresponsible behaviour of the Poles!
Works every time for Fascists!
After Germany recovered the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia, Hungary annexed part of Czechoslovakia for itself and Carpatho-Ukraine asked Hitler to come to its aid, before it too was invaded by, and annexed to, Hungary. Later, both Poland and Hungary were moving to partition what was left of the Czech Republic. No sooner had Germany taken control of the Sudetenland, the Polish government gave the Czech government an ultimatum stating that Teschen must be handed over within twenty-four hours. The previous year, that same Polish government gave an ultimatum to Lithuiania over the Vilnus region. Therefore Germany’s territorial aspirations were no better, and no worse, than other imperial powers at the time.
Tosh. I don’t recall that other Imperial power, Britain, annexing any European territories in the 1930s.
The UK attacked, invaded or annexed hundreds of countries, nations, city states and smaller territories during its imperial phase, which still hasnt ended.
Like the nazis labled the Jews as disease spreaders and plague-carriers.
Gates’ smallpox?
Or Marburg.. there’s a plan, and they are not going to let things slide and go back to a state of normality that’s for sure. You only have to look across the channel at France and other continental countries to see that. Something’s on the back burner, you can bet on it..
Gates has to have a sexually transmitted disease, after all, he has be screwing us all for the last few years.
I would very much like to see him assassinated
Fuck them
Whose control? Fauci? Gates?
No discussion on Dr Robert Malone’s appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast? This is a great opportunity to get vitally important, scientifically grounded, countervailing views on the real medicine out to normies, please spread widely.

Thanks for the link tj101 but, at over 3 hours duration, it’s waaaaaay to long for mass consumption.
There’s a handy summary going round on Twitter. Maybe linked on Clare Craig.
as long as you watch it on a device where you can skip through the sponsor moments easily (around every 30 minutes that go on for several minutes) it’s a very easy watch/listen with very litlle filler/waffle. It’s a must watch for people who struggle to get their heads around the basics of “the” science” behind the last 20 months.
This one is excellent especially the last half where he discusses why he made that speech reading from paper and why he listed those illnesses. He is on great form here, shows his class:
Dr. Robert Malone on Brain Damage, Myocarditis, Blood Clots And MANY Other Vaccine Risks

Also a great Malone interview probably the best one to show to people just waking up:
Dr. Malone: “This is the Largest Experiment Performed on Human Beings in the History of the World.”

Thanks for this link. Honestly the other poster who replied should give it a click. I literally couldn’t stop listening and my missus has had to endure for the 3 hours too. I genuinely am thankful for this being posted and my main take away are around 1hr 30, effect on menstrual cycle, 2hr 40, mass formation physcosis sp?, and also trusted news initiative by the the bbc and the shareholder links between Reuters fact checking and phifzer
Hi jwills, I’ve watched it and I agree with you and the others above that it’s a cracking interview. I’m going to e-mail the link to everyone on my contacts list with this covering message . . . Hi all, This is another of my ’round-robin’ e-mails about Covid so, once again, apologies for the generic salutation. I am writing to ask that you either watch (on odysee) or listen (on Spotify) to the attached podcast. It’s an interview given by Dr. Robert Malone to the famous U.S. podcaster, Joe Rogan. odysee (video): Joe Rogan & Dr. Robert Malone Spotify (audio): #1757 – Dr. Robert Malone MD I realize that you – like everyone else – are bombarded with Covid related stuff daily and the last thing you want to do is listen to a very long podcast about it. Yet, I am asking you to do just that: allow me to explain why . . . For better or for worse, I have become completely immersed in the largely one-sided debate about Covid and, in doing that, I’ve tried to work out how to separate fact from fiction and who to believe and who to ignore. As a general rule of thumb, my solution is to ask: ‘What’s the agenda, what’s… Read more »
The successful, world-beating vaccine allowed them their freedoms, of course. We must be grateful to the superheroes. Until the next variant, that is.
Happy New Year!
I see the Downtick Fairy is back
Me and Maverick have three downs apiece. It’s a close race😀
Presumably the 77th are back on duty now!
Wankers
The poor sods do need leave from time to time. Down ticking is hard work, and can lead to PDS (Post Downticking Syndrome).
Skal!
Johnson, Javid, Gove and members of the laughably named SAGE Committee are beginning to realise that Joe Public is ever so slowly waking up to their lies, stupidity and manipulative nature. The dreadful destruction they’ve caused to the economy, businesses, jobs, and most importantly those suffering with life limiting illness who have seen the NHS turn into a National Covid Service, leaving them on their own Thankfully the ‘Omicron’ variant is shining a torch in the dark places these scoundrels were hoping to avoid. The useless, and now abandoned in the USA, PCR test. The duplicitous definition of a covid death. The lie that asymptomatic people are really ill. The uselessness of the ‘vaccines’, which are only called that after the word’s definition was altered. As a result they are, and will continue to, backpeddle furiously to prove their innocence. In fact, in America, Liar-in-chief Anthony Fauci is now saying ‘of course, most of those in hospital due to covid are there for other reasons – but have merely tested positive whilst there. Karma can be a bastard. I truly hope that in the case of all those behind the stupidity, it is really nasty. ”Stupidity is the same as… Read more »
We need to prepare for whatever they launch next – ‘climate’ pandemic, cyber attacks, food shortages, energy rationing or even an ‘alien invasion’.
Safest to have spare energy, food, basic medicines, and water. I think Gates stated that coronavirus would be as nothing compared to a mass power outage. The Green Agenda requires a smaller population. Boris J wrote an article on the population being too large in 2007, and Stanley Johnson (2012) thinks the UK can only carry 10-15M, and that that would be ideal.
“Depopulation” interview with Stanley Johnson (brandnewtube.com)
That would mean losing a mere 55-60M people, and encouraging mass suicide, abortion, euthanasia, and all sorts of nasties. Why can so few people spot these mad Malthusian nutters? Even when they clearly articulate their foul views? Stanley Johnson wrote his first book on this in 1970 and “The Population Problem” in 1973. Was a 6 year old Boris in 1970 and a 9 yr old Boris in 1973 proud of his father and influenced by him? The available evidence suggests this early influence runs deep and continuous, even if at times like a hidden underground stream (being clearly socially unacceptable and obnoxious) Oh, and it was never a depopulation agenda that started at home, was it? Hypocrisy and entitlement was baked in from the start.
Yes, karma CAN be a bastard – but try telling Bliar!
Lemmings and bedwetters are restricting themselves without the government needing to do anything.
We were in an Indian restaurant last night and a young couple put on masks every time they stood up.
The Nudge Units have done a good job of fearing some people into compliance.
Non-compliance by the public and Tory back benchers will hopeful force the government to do nothing and let people get on with their lives as they relearn how to live with an endemic virus no worse than a common cold.
It is depressing to see how young people have been brainwashed.
I am afraid that some of my family fall into this category, but when you get to 35 your old Dad ought to accept that they are making their own way in the world. I met up with one of my sons this week in a pub, he and his wife came in with masks on before sitting down at the table. My two grandsons are only 7 and 5 so not going to be covered up; it all passed without comment but a part of me wept with the compliance. His great grandfather served in two World Wars – what would he be thinking of us now as a society, let alone whether we could match his courage when he served in WW1.
Masks can sometimes perform a useful public service……
Tosser
I meant the tooth juggler is a tosser not the op..
I’m not sure everybody had ‘courage’ in WW1 – I think most went to the front because they had to. No choice.
A bit like when the Russians made people swim across a river to fight the Germans on the other side – those that tried to swim back got shot.
Pretty much the same with the face masks now – people are just too scared to be different, or it’s just easier to comply.
I don’t think beancounter mentioned ‘everybody’. The professional British Army was destroyed in 1914 and 1915. The Pals battalions were raised from volunteers and trained in 1915 and 1916 by the remnants of the British Army. That first wave of volunteers were destroyed at the Somme in the summer of 1916. Only then came conscription. The volunteers and many conscripted may have been naive, idealistic and perhaps even foolish. But I wouldn’t want to say they lacked courage.
Yes Boomer,
Thank you for that. I will be three score and twenty in a couple of weeks. The boss will soon be 74 (I know, I know I’m a cradle snatcher).We have been fortunate enough to spend at least a month overseas each winter topping up our vital vitamin D levels for many years.
Now realistically I cannot think of any European hot spot which you could visit. They are all in thrall to this Chinese Communist Virus and its ridiculous quarantine.
We had hoped to see the sun go down in Galway Bay this year but it has long since set in the little fascist state in which I was born.
Sorry Boomer, that was meant as a reply to Old Hat below.
See what old age does to your marbles?
With you all the way watersider. I had hoped to spend more time in Spain, mainland or Tenerife during my retirement. Looks like that’s not going to happen for the foreseeable. I’m wondering if I’ll be able to fly to Florida, which seems to be holding its own against the global insanity.
Some may not be brainwashed. The regime has convinced the useful idiots that those seeking freedom are all right wing nutters so many of the young wear masks as a symbol of solidarity with those who are taught to see anyone to the right of Stalin as the devil incarnate.
Same happened to me Xmas eve in a pub. Three adults all appeared to be under 40 came in masked, sat down and took off their rags and demanded table service when everyone else was happy to go to the bar.
Toilet visits and then leaving the pub both involved the masking ritual.
I could not help themselves and shouted stupid cunts at them as they left
My grandfather used to say that only dead fish go with the stream. I think he has been proved correct yet again.
Wasn’t it Javid that said “if it emerges that this is no more dangerous than Delta, then we won’t keep measures in place for a day longer than necessary” when he reintroduced restrictions such as compulsory mask wearing in shops/public transport (29th Nov) .
https://odysee.com/@ScepticNurse:3/Sajid_Javid_29th_Nov_2021
Javid is a liar. What a surprise. Must have asked Boris for some tips.
Malteser headed cunt
Or ‘eight ball,’ as someone on here labelled him.
Sorry to be that last Japanese soldier on an island after WW2, but ‘No’.
Data is data, an estimate is an estimate. They are not the same thing at all; yet more lies and confusion sown by the Fail as well as Jabbit.
Don’t care anyway cuz I won’t be following them.
This is easy to say for some people, for example, old age pensioners who have no intention of travelling out of the country.
Even for those who don’t want to ‘follow the rules’ they are still subject to seeing the brainwashed masses shuffling about in their face masks every time they go into a supermarket, or stand on a railway station platform.
It is still easy to avoid wearing a face mask, and to avoid the jabs in the UK, for some people, at the moment. But this means staying within the UK. Which is OK, there are lots of worse places.
Being an ‘OAP’ (which in itself is a horrible term) surely doesn’t make us less likely to travel out of the country. It is rather ageist to lump us all together as old dears who need nothing more than a pouffe for our feet and a nice cup of tea. We (as a couple) travelled extensively world wide until all this covid crap came along. We are aghast (as are many of our peers who also like to travel the globe) that every precious month of our remaining active lives is being constrained by government(s) dictat. We have just about resigned ourselves to never going abroad again because we don’t fulfill the vaccine requirements. How long will it be before staying somewhere in this country is also not possible unless you are jabbed up?
Same here
Same here. I’m 68. 2020 and 2021 were existing more than living. I renewed my passport in January 2020 – what a time …
Prof. Dolores Cahill claims to fly worldwide without restrictions: no mask, no jab, just a few careful words about the law to anyone who challenges her. How does she do it?
And the government “rules” say that you should wash/disinfect your hands before putting a mask on and before taking it off and so on and storing it in a clean container between. Nobody has ever done that so need not have bothered at all.
“Javid insisted any fresh curbs on freedoms must be ‘an absolute last resort”
Why need ‘fresh curbs on freedom’ when the nation is already trussed-up like a turkey, victim to the Government-approved cowboy companies that flog PCR tests?
Thank God Javid has said this, I trust him completely. As I do the rest of the government – such a lovely, trustworthy, bunch. Now, where did I put that gunpowder?
Alway reliable though – ‘the truth’ is the exact opposite of what they say and what the servile “bought out” media print!
Just a tactic to soften people up for the next phase of Project Reset 2030 – do not be fooled!
Honours now given away to the totally dishonourable – see the direction of travel!
” A Knighthood: To Mr Whitty …for his support for the vaccination of children with an experimental mRNA “Gene Therapy” known to cause myocarditis in the young and in spite of the advising of caution by the regulatory authorities” ( Full consequences yet unknown)
There are times when I wish I were religious – so that I could cherish the idea that they will rot in Hell for eternity: a fate that is too kind for Bliar, but one has to start somewhere.
Is that an “irreversible” statement?
Tony Blair received a knighthood. This country is fucking finished.
It’s a title – a human construct. Means nothing except to him and those that crawl up his arse. He still pisses, farts and shits like everyone else.
He knows he’s despised by the majority of people in the UK and one day he’ll die and people will celebrate and cheer.
Blair is unusual among former PMs in being pretty much universally loathed by people of all political views – Thatcher was strongly disliked by many, but equally was admired by many. Major, Brown and May are regarded as pretty non-controversial these days. I suppose that many regard Cameron as rather an arse, but he’s not viewed with utter contempt like Blair is.
Will be interesting to see how Johnson is regarded once he’s left office!
A total cunt
Agreed.
Bliar is without doubt the most evil man to ever carry a British passport although it would not be unreasonable to state it is now a tied race with Bozo.
On current form and if he stays in no. 10 Bozo could probably pinch it.
What you say is true, that it is just some nonsense that exists in the minds of men, like fiat currency, or government, yet it is also a damning indictment of the society in which we have to live, that such people as these are esteemed by that society.
Maybe, but it comes with a significant price tag, paid for by you and me.
Happy new year folks!
A couple of inconvenient possibilities:
1) Javid’s announcement is a psy-op. Expect the opposite of what he announced to happen. Would you feel confused, disoriented and discouraged if this would happen? That’s the intention.
The reason this is happening? We are, and have been, enemy combatants.
2) The DS site acts as controlled opposition. Observe the psychological ebbs and tides. The drip-drip of Daily Mail pieces and officialdom narrative.
The technique is nothing new. The theory is that opposition will coalesce around a seeming beacon of opposition, and thus be largely controlled, subtly.
Intelligence officers have gone as far as marrying activists.
So use the valuable, insightful research that BTL commenters of this site provide.
Branch out to local networks. Engage with genuine groups on Telegram.
And hold the line, brothers and sisters. Peacefully, and as you feel is best.
So expect more restrictions then. Fucking liars
3 ladies with revealing outfits. Fair enough. But what the F is that in the background?
Didn’t know the Mandolorian was filming here.
Blair getting a knighthood for ‘services” Harries getting Damegeld for doing policy three point turns when told, and Whitty for his deathless determination to vaccinate. Gregor Smith a decent, now compromised medic got the sword of subservience for being Sturgeons strategy sick note. Upward faking mediocrities people doing their jobs badly. .
witless Whitty was already knighted, this is a notional ‘promotion’..
“although there were some skirmishes in Newcastle, with one man being led away by police.” That sounds like a quiet night to me.
Indeed – if there hadn’t been any skirmishes in Newcastle of all places it would have been unprecedented. Especially given that there were probably a fair few visitors from the Krankie dictatorship as well.
No doubt it was quite lively around the Bigg Market last night…
And 10,000 at a Disco in Manchester. That’s a staggering number and as it’s near Piccadilly station and the Mancunian Way I’m sure streets will have been blocked. Taxis must have had a burster.
Great news.
This was definitely heartening – refreshingly “normal”
Aye, haddaway an’ shite, Javid man.
Such a useful phrase.
To all revellers in England, from miserable, Dung-infested, Scrooge-Gulag Wales: hope you had a great time!
Meanwhile, a sceptical person with relevant knowledge has done a relatively deep dive into the statistical base data used in the measurement of “Vaccine effectiveness”, viewable here:
https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/01/02/lies-damn-lies-and-covid-19-hospitalisation-statistics/
Spoiler alert: if the lengthy trail leading to the adoption of the methodology of assessing “Vaccine Effectiveness” stems from the Pharmaceutical industry …….why has the ONS not questioned the adoption of said methodology by HM Government?
I might be stating the blindingly bleedin obvious, and demonstrating some naivety, ( faux) why on this earth is this being allowed?
In any other sphere, I reckon this would disqualify the use of these data and also put the users in a very difficult position – namely the CMO, CSO, Health Secretary, PM and any other public sector, tax payer funded, employee who relies on and parrots these data – eg Head of NHS, UKHSA, MHRA, Head of NHA Providers/GPs who espouse jabs/Heads of devolved administrations……please feel free to nominate those you feel are compromised.
I’d like to think this is another nail in the coffin of this scam….possibly, maybe.
Wouldn’t it be a novelty to have a ”health secretary” who wasn’t scientifically illiterate? One who could actually evaluate information given, and think for himself, instead of just (being in awe) swallowing whatever his ”advisors” tell him.
All these people seem to subscribe to the notion of: ”Why keep a dog and bark yourself?”
