Wales Would “Not Rule Out” Recruiting Unvaccinated NHS Workers Sacked in England Over Vaccine Mandate

Well that was unexpected. Wales First Minister Mark Drakeford – who has consistently erred on the side of totalitarian when responding to the pandemic – has said he would “not rule out” recruiting NHS workers from England who leave their jobs due to its mandatory vaccination policy. The BBC has the story.

Vaccines are not compulsory for NHS staff in Wales.

Mr Drakeford said a “vast majority” of care sector staff had also taken the “protections that vaccination offers”.

When asked if he would take on NHS staff from England, Mr Drakeford told BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House: “We wouldn’t rule it out but it would depend on what anybody said in an interview when they were applying for a job.

“We’re not going to make vaccinations mandatory in our NHS,” he said.

“We haven’t in our social care services because we have succeeded by persuasion by getting the vast majority of people who work in our services to do the right thing and take up the protections that vaccination offers.”

NHS staff in England must have a first jab by February 3rd and be fully vaccinated by April 1st to continue in frontline roles.

The U.K.’s Department of Health said there were no plans to delay and it was “the right thing to do to protect patients”.

Mr Drakeford said: “I don’t expect us to go looking for people who have not been vaccinated but, if people apply, then they would be interviewed in the normal way.

“We’d look to see what lay behind their decision.

“We wouldn’t rule them out but we certainly won’t be going out there looking for them.”

Come on Boris, when you’re being outflanked on freedom by Mark Drakeford you know you’ve gone wrong somewhere.

I am in desperate need of a new Thesaurus – run out of words to sufficiently describe the lunacy and pernicious nature of all this. Red is green, down is up and I’m an alien from the planet Zog who is totally at a loss as to why you humans are so STUPID.

Well, the majority, especially those creatures identified as politicians.

And future historians also will definitely need specialised dictionaries and thesauruses to fully interpret documents and media broadcasts from this period.   An encyclopaedia giving information on the many abnormal current subjects which have besieged Western people would also be invaluable to future scholars.   These future scholars will be an admixture of Black and Brown and they’ll be fascinated with the ancient White race that dominated the world for so long, and then, who over the course of a few decades, took a turn for the worst, and collectively cut its own throat and disappeared into the annals of history.   Gone in a flash of dust like the ancient Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Mayans, Romans, Greeks and Persians.   This encyclopaedia could list in alphabetical order how a clique of multi-billionaires took over banking systems of Western countries and used a fiat currency scheme as a usury trick to drain their wealth and keep the White citizens in debt entrapment.   It could list how this same clique of multi-billionaires took control of the White people’s educational systems and then educated the White children that a lifetime spend debating if they should have been born with testicles or a vagina… Read more »

Q: Why was there ever more than one policy on “Covid”?

An ‘objectively real illness’, worked on by millions of scientists, yet still millions of self-contradictory responses (international, national, local, contextual), ever-shifting, all soused in insanity and impervious to common sense!

Well a virus as cunning and devious as the novel coronavirus needs an ingenious response. It’s no good being consistent and predictable, the coronavirus would see that coming. No, you’ve got to respond in a schizophrenic preposterously crazy manner to confound the enemy. Virology 101, keep up!

Most rules are ridiculous arbitrary lines in the sand that have no real backing in science.

Same speed limit for a 25yr old station wagon and a Porsche with carbon ceramic breaks or a 180kg hyperbike. Very different outcomes in crashes at 70. An 18 wheeler turns people into soup at 56mph if they are in a stationary queue.

You could argue that people do their best or… that they just make it all up and it’s bollocks. Get caught doing 100mph in this country and you are demonised in the national press as a murderer or children, in Germany the camera doesn’t flash, or actually, there is no camera.

As I understand it, for year Wales has had the worst health service in the UK. This explains why the Covid rules were harshest there, because they couldn’t cope. Now along comes a golden opportunity for them to soak up dumped NHS employees …

There is probably a subagenda, in which the hapless English staff are lured to Taffydom. Once they get there, they will be required to partake of the Pfizer Poison, and thus be permitted a “passport”.

It would behove anyone tempted by this, to examine very carefully the conditions of employment, especially any clauses which might permit swift changes regarding “vaccination”.

It is claimed that an uncertain but clear majority of the population has been vaxxed and that this is what is allowing restrictions to be lowered.
This claim is accompanied by requests and demands that the remaining 10-20% (?) get in line to achieve complete victory.

One Adolf Hitler said precisely the same thing in a speech to Berliners, 20th August 1934, after what he claimed was a 90% election victory.

You know it won’t end here?

There’ll be separatist Covid polities in Macclesfield, Cumbria, and Chipping-Sodbury, each with their own rules and customs, years on into the future.

A Health League Party will put up candidates to keep the rules in place, and ‘remember our fallen heroes’.

Die-hard maskers will seize power in county towns; march with flags flying with Young Guards made up of covidian teens; and write drivel-histories of ‘their struggle’ to ‘live with covid’, having ‘beaten’ the antiwaxers.

More clownery to come, folks!

There must be some logical explanation for the madness that seems to be currently infecting politicians at the moment.

I don’t know whats going on here? I really don’t. Everything seems so absurd I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I can’t seem to grasp their insane warped sense of thinking – everything they say seems to completely contradict everything they have ever said beforehand – its as if they have no capacity to self-reflect and think that no one can see the inconsistencies in their statements.

Its like 1984 on LSD.

This isn’t going to be pretty, folks; the downfall of a death cult rarely is.

There is going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth, incoherent fanatical jabbering, mass deleting of embarrassing tweets. There’s going to be a veritable tsunami of desperate rationalizing, strenuous denying, shameless blame-shifting, and other forms of ass-covering, as suddenly former Covidian Cult members make a last-minute break for the jungle before the fully-vaxxed-and-boosted “Safe and Effective Kool-Aid” servers get to them.
