In other words, the fake PCR test lets lazy people take a sickie.

When you are demonised for speaking the truth you are living in tyranny.
Let one in ten skulk with a fake test.
Sack one in ten for having clean blood.
Protect the NHS.
Ah the legionnaires solution.
Doctor Sarah Jarvis (TV celebrity doctor) says the problem is that NHS staff cannot get hold of LFT kits and can’t go back until they have tested negative. Un-effing-believable.
I think my brain is going to explode processing the (il)logicality of all this shit. Doesn’t anyone with a brain work in the NHS? Doctor Sarah Jarvis would have made a fine job of reporting on tractor production back in the ole USSR….
Too many ‘worried well’ (my family included) buying the damn things so they can see friends and family and go to work…despite none experiencing ANY symptoms.
Still, these so-called ‘tests’ are useless because they solely rely on the false premise that the COVID ‘virus’ has been isolated and properly genetically sequenced.
See the following recent interview of Dr Mark Bailey (Dr Sam Bailey’s husband) on Sam’s odysee channel (she can’t show it on YouTube as they’d take it down) – Mark clearly explains the whole situation, including the issue of detection/isolation/purifying and PCR/LF testing, which uses circular reasoning to justify itself.

When I was working as an engineer and worked on many NHS/Public Sector projects, it was a well-known fact that (especially in the NHS) civil servants’ ‘entitlement’ to annual sick leave was defacto extra holiday days to be fully used and (for the managers) not to ever be questioned, on pain of (sort of) death from the Unions.
Essentially that meant many staff were able to take 50+ days ‘paid holiday’, and that was prior to The Coof (COVID pandemic). Now they presumably can say they have ‘been in contact with someone who subsequently tested positive for COVID’ and self isolate on full pay again and again.
So much for them being caring and only about the patients. It might not be the majority of staff (or of ‘frontline’ ones), but in my view there’s a significant minority who take full advantage of this, and for both selfish monetary and ideological reasons.
The ‘Swiss Doctor’ reads for all the world like a vaccine propagandist.
Yep, they’re all giving credit for natural process to vaccines. It was predictable.
SIX boosters over the next two years? The Netherlands will soon be The Emptylands. One way or the other.
Hugo’s stock portfolio might be worth examining.
ITEM: SCOTLAND – Where the police stop you from dancing. “It’s time to stop living like this, where state control has impinged on private lives in the name of public health. Feels a lot like fascism and not a bit like public health” The Covid Resistance, Antipodean Branch, struck on NYE in Western Australia where some three hundred party-goers breached the state’s restrictions by holding a private party in a Perth bar called The George. The revelers were all maskless and had destroyed all the venue’s QR posters, whilst the bar had blacked out all its windows and locked all its doors but the mini-Maos who patrol the city streets for just this sort of counter-revolutionary hooliganism and public health sabotage got onto the cops who raided the joint by scaling a series of walls to force entry through adjacent doors. The owners of The George face a quarter mill in fines and risk losing their liquor licence over the “illegal event” (nightclubs, music events and dancing are all currently banned under Western Australia’s Covid tyranny, while only seated service is permitted in bars). That’s one more bar and 300 more ordinary citizens to add to the honour roll of… Read more »
It still blows my mind to think that, of all the countries that would go “fascist”* in the 21st century, it would be Australia.
* Just replace with “totalitarian” if preferable, to avoid a debate over which 19th/20th century term fits the “boot-stomping-on-the-face” scenario we’re facing.
Doesn’t surprise me at all, in fact I would have said it was entirely predictable, Australian politics was one of the first to become infested with neoliberal progressives!
But WTF happened in Canada? I must have missed Canadians going progressive.
Trudeau Implies Black Canadians “Racist, Misogynistic” – Questions Whether Unvaxx’d Should Be “Tolerated”
He always was an intolerant twit, he chucked people who have moral objections to killing babies out of his party.
Fuckin hell that’s unbelievable.
Actually mr/s downvoter, it’s quite fascinating & terrifying, Australia were early into the woke trans/gay rights nonsense before any other “liberal democracy“. So what that tells us is how postmodernist liberal (socialist) progressive ideology ends, a fascist totalitarianism. You can see everywhere in the west at various stages, Europe, USA, UK, I think the USA despite being further down that path than the UK, still has a chance, the power struggle is still fairly even, the democrats are looking obsolete like the Labour Party, except the Tories aren’t much different. Australia & Canada are lost! I think Europe either disintegrates or goes full Aussie, The UK is a hard one to call, it’s had a liberal establishment for centuries & has slowly become irrelevant.
I know ya love me really, why else do you bother reading my comments 😉
Actually i’d retract & amend that, the liberals are winning, because the conservatives are of an older generation & the progressives are brainwashing school children to their ideology, so as we die its slowly swinging in their favour.
You wouldn’t be so surprised had you grown up there and seen just how they love their nannying usually accompanied by massive fines and police all too willing to enforce it.
Makes my day! Thanks, Phil.
There used to be a popular saying in Scotland – “We don’t pay no poll tax”. Maybe some people in Australia might like to adapt it.
Looks more like just another bar closed down with the owners looking for a quarter of a million Dollars to pay their fine.
I wonder if the 300 party-goers will help stump up this sum out of their own pockets?
But, seriously, it’s obviously not about the ‘health of the nation’, is it?
And, as usual, whilst the Police grab someone, everyone else just stands there filming it on their smartphones, and no-one thinks to rescue the person who’s getting hauled off.
No one should pay a penny towards these fines. Crowd fund legal costs towards a good solicitor and fight it all the way – including counter charges for damage to premises and emotional distress.
There is only one way to stop this! Lock-up all politicians.
I’d go farther, lock-up all liberals in any position of influence. Liberals are dangerous, they are control freaks, they attempt to control everything, they are destroyers of nature, they are the greatest threat to all life on planet earth in particular to the natural world. They are a considerable threat to humanity, their misery & technocratic nature is killing us & destroying our families.
It’s ironic, anyone who calls themselves a liberal in my experience is the complete opposite of liberal
I of course don’t mean classic liberals, just the new generation, though socialism was conceived by middle class liberals.

Relax, it’s just the DM shit stirring.
I recall a group of ex-military who attended the protests last year got similar laughably over the top treatment from that dishrag.
I later heard from a woman, ex RAF, who was involved and to say I believe her version rather than theirs is an understatement.
NHS struggles as sickness takes out one in 10 staff, so 9 out of 10 are not ‘sick’, are the Times reporters that niave?

How?
Why would you?
I don’t understand.How do they know they are close contacts of someone who has not yet shown symptoms.
I did not have a single day (shift) off for sickness for over 26 years.
If you didn’t work, you didn’t get paid.
If all the Covid “lead swingers” were in that position, I wonder how many would phone in sick with the idle layabout excuse of “I’ve tested positive, etc”
Not being paid for stopping at home concentrates the mind wonderfully.
I see that B&M Gates stooge (my opinion) Paul Nuki has had the rug pulled from under him yet again, this time within hours after his scaremongering article in the Telegraph, by real data…from the Telegraph.

Oh dear, Paul. He’s rightly getting a lot of stick from readers in the comments area BTL of the article.
I’m wondering whether the tide is slowly turning in our favour, given far more of his ‘articles’ now have reader comments sections and that actually allow negative and often very inciteful responses to be posted without being censored.
I wonder what the Telegraph’s contract with the B&M Gates Foundation stated as to what they expected in return for their $3.2M in 2017 and for how long?
That Joe Rogan / Robert Malone discussion is three hours long, but more spell-binding than most movies.
