“Covid rules broken in ‘most homes’, claims MP defending Boris Johnson”

I wasn’t outraged by bozos disrespect for his own rules, but I should have been!

I am angry at this statement, some (many) people did adhere to his rules, you & I know they were BS, but some lived in fear, others were left to die alone, families were torn apart, people were isolated & never had that chance to see their loved ones one last time before they passed.

This is not a trivial matter, he clearly didn’t believe these measures were effective & therefore necessary. So what transpired were human rights violation, not just braking the rules and any civil servant breaking them must receive the consequences of the full force of the law.

These absurd incoherent rules announced on a whim at no notice wil have been broken in almost all homes. However what I remain most angry about is not being able to see a relative before she died. That is something I can never get back, and I have heard some terrible stories about such incidence. What makes me angry is that it has been very clear for a long time that these rules do more harm than good, that they never did a proper cost-benefit analysis – and yet they continue with them anyway, come hell or high water (and maybe both will come before long).

“Beware the covid turncoats”.

Personally I’m just glad if more people want this shambles to end. However, Devi “100% safe” Sridhar saying that we can ease restrictions now and live with the virus thanks to the “vaccine” rollout – does she have any idea what she is talking about, or how the Amish have been living with the virus and without the “vaccines” for quite a long time anyway? We were talking about Tudor propaganda before – I suspect she is a modern day propagandist.

“Medics have received threats from the authorities over issuing covid ‘vaccine’ exemption”. (Dr. Aaron Kheriarty, a California doctor). Yes, we can’t have them missing their targets now can we? Did our political leaders ever release full details of the conversations they’ve had with the likes of Bill Gates at the World Economic Forum, and all those dinners that people from pharmaceutical companies and the like pay to attend with government ministers? Every last word they have with these crooks should be recorded. They must never forget that they are there to serve the voters. Excessive influence by corrupt business interests (who we know have attempted to influence NHS policy – see here: Revealed: Big Pharma’s hidden links to NHS policy, with senior MPs saying medical industry uses ‘wealth to influence government’ | The Independent | The Independent ) must end if one person one vote (a cause that people have fought and died for) is to mean anything. Incidentally, Oliver Wright who wrote the above linked article now writes for the Times muppets – the paper who say we should take the government on trust when it comes to the experimental covid “vaccines” they are helping the corrupt pharmaceutical industry… Read more »

Melanie Phillips penned a similar article in The Times yesterday where she raged at the “libertarian right” for displaying absurd logic to their sceptical arguments against lockdowns, restrictions, masks and vaccines. It was hard to read without laughing and getting angry in equal measure. The woman is certifiably insane. She constantly contradicted herself in her vehement defence of vaccines but was too blinkered to see it.

It’s funny how many of the people inciting violence, hatred and social exclusion are from a religion which we are constantly reminded of a past discrimination against.

So, it is ok to exclude un-jabbed people from daily life, bully their children and send them to camps. Makes you wonder about the mental condition of these people, bit like the prison guard experiment, the persecuted becomes the persecutor. Hope a few people remind Phillips of this.

“Care homes chose safety over compassion”.

These last two years have been a criminal abuse of the elderly. You know, there was a story recently about a man in a “care” home who tried to escape out of the window with sheets knotted together as he was so fed up with being imprisoned there, and fell to his death. The Great escape indeed. What have we become?

Staff chose their own safety. Not from covvie, but from prosecution if they failed to keep their victims ‘safe’. Just as Tudor torturers had to refrain from actually killing their victims – so that they could die more spectacularly on the scaffold. Executions were another department.

We can only cross our fingers and hope it doesn’t come to the UK. Canada – the country which seems to have “lost it”. On the subject of jabs, their safety and effectiveness, last night on GB News Calvin Robinson challenged Rebecca Reid when she urged young people to get the booster shot so that they could travel abroad in line with the policy announced by Grant Shapps. If ever, it was clear that it was not about health and all about control, it was that policy announcement. Tantamount to “If you want to do what you want to do, then you have to do what we tell you”. Robinson pointed out to Reed that she is liable to be sued by young people if they suffered harms or adverse effects after being jabbed, and pointed out that they should take advice from a doctor and not from her, and strongly questioned the safety of the jabs citing the MHRA and VAERS data. Excellent job Calvin! This, I think, might have been the first time I have seen anyone on a British TV channel say such a thing, and I can only hope that more people were watching.

The various thoughts in the press that the UK is leading the world out of covid madness seems to me to be burying their heads in the sand and ignoring the huge elephant in the room. Talk of backing down on the NHS vaccine mandate seems to have been dropped and the Government seem intent on implementing this mandate despite any staffing issues it may create. In that way the UK Government will have delivered a huge prize to the sinister and nasty movers and shakers behind this drive to create a vaccinated world. Even after the unvaccinated are sacked that will leave an NHS workforce of over 1 million who are all fully signed up to the vaccine mandate. And I think we will find that the NHS vaccine mandate is for life not just for covid. This 1 million plus vaccine mandated NHS workforce will be signed up for boosters and for whatever else the evil digital, techno health, vaccine orientated tyrants dream up. In that way, to my mind, the ending of restrictions in England that happens tonight should be seen as pyrrhic freedom day as long as the NHS mandate stays in force. We will be… Read more »

It seems to me that it reflects the rather shallow juvenile ‘Harry Potter’ way of viewing the world that seems quite common these days. People ascribe magic potion properties to ‘the vaccines’ that go way beyond anything they claim to achieve and certainly way beyond anything the evidence is telling us. But still people seem convinced that these vaccines are doing magical wonders that neither Harry Potter not Dumbledore could ever achieve.

The ‘tide has been turning’ for many months already. Allegedly. Comments in The Daily Mirror do not make a rebellion – they are merely comments by people who read such rags.

If ‘the tide has turned’ why are there still restrictions for travelling? Why are Vaxx Passports still in existence? Why is the 3rd ‘booster’ still being given? Why are people still wearing face masks?

If you think ‘the tide has turned’ you are deluding yourself.

Blimey EF, you’re such an optimism hoover.

Throughout the last ten years, since before Brexit, comments below the line have been an excellent measure of the true political mood in the country and have been far ahead of the articles above the line, opinion polls, and politicians themselves.

Those of us who participated in these discussions knew well in advance that Brexit would win, that Trump would win, and that Corbyn would not win.

But most of these events took the pundits completely by surprise, because they spend their lives on Twitter and talking amongst themselves inside their little bubble.

When I see comments under a Guardian piece pushing the vaccines which are predominantly sceptical about vaccines to infinity, and other articles about continuing restrictions, then you know the tide has turned.

I go out with my IRL friends and they seem to have no idea, no desire to speak or think or act about it. They still complain about people not wearing their masks properly! And yet my poor student is off school again this week. At least their doctor said flat out that the reaction is from the jab, but really, its so awful. The parents had no idea there was a risk, they believed it was safe, yet here we are. Its not fair to say they had the same info I did, because they weren’t encouraged to look. A friends’ FIL just died suddenly of a stroke. Ok, he was old, but he was healthy old. They say it “wasn’t covid related” but no one is asking when he had the booster shot.

Instead, Paul Scully, the parliamentary under – Secretary of State for business, energy and industrial strategy attended, stating that the mandate consequently impacted on not only NHS personnel but also other employers / employees. He was / is very much for compulsory jabs.

The round-up includes yet another couple of articles on NZ. Both as usual only concentrate on the superficial shenanigans of the present dictator Ardern. Neither address the real purpose of what is going on. NZ is beginning a trial program for AI based “policy” decision making as part of a pilot scheme with the WEF. In order for this to happen there must be total uptake of the covidpass system. Under cover of the lockdowns ALL urban/suburban areas are now comprehensively surveilled by an array of monitoring tech inc facial rec cameras phone monitoring tech, numberplate monitoring, etc. There are cameras at EVERY junction, pedestrian crossing, meeting point, etc etc. Smart waste bins are being installed everywhere, these are capable of monitoring peoples phones. The AI industry is highly advanced there , Google has recently started work on the largest data centre in the Southern Hemisphere in Christchurch. The NZ “elites” and business leaders are actively conspiring with a communistic government who’s election platform included the promis to effect “foundational change”, to produce the template for AI governance systems across the West and eventually further.

“Is this why some people get sicker than others with COVID-19?”

This looks very suspiciously like it’s priming the public for an excuse for the known side effects of vaccinating during a pandemic (ADE), or rumoured side effect of the mRNA vaccine itself.

The anti vaxxer moniker is very frustrating in that many people including myself are not anti (attenuated) vaccines but just untrusting of new, unproven tech. Especially so when retired experts in the field speak out about it with absolutely nothing to gain.

Government covid rules, did they include stopping visitors to the dying or was this an NHS diktat, or taping up seats in shopping areas, or was this a local government diktat, did the general government rules lead to misuse by local government jobsworths. This needs to be investigated

During the madness of summer 2020 I took the kids to a local playground (actually we had ordered a takeaway and had some time to kill before it was ready).

The playground was not taped up and children were playing there happily with parents looking on.

The police showed up to “make sure we were being COVID safe” and said that they believed that the council should have closed the playground and that they were “not going to give us a ticket on this occasion”.

They seemed to be more pissed off with the council but were taking it out on the law-abiding general public instead – as usual.

The whole thing was a shambles and just a recipe for every petty bureaucrat in the country to invent stupid rules. In a way, the bumbling nature of the Johnson administration which left a lot of the implementation down to local councils and individuals was a blessing, since a more directive government would probably have created a much more draconian environment for everyone, whereas in practice implementation of the rules was very patchy.

My elderly uncle who used to go for a walk every day found the seats in his local park tied up plus the ones in the small shopping centre he visited. I agree re the petty bureaucrats who are now pointing the finger at the government and shouldn’t be allowed to get away with their part in it. Plus at the start I actually saw 2 young kids sitting with their bikes on an almost empty beach and moved on by the police.

Fun for ordinary plebs not allowed. Only citizens permitted to have fun were those in 10 Downing St.

One good thing that happened in my local park: people collectively pulled down all the hazard tape around the kids playpark, and all the kids went straight back in. The hazard tape never returned.

Seats in my local library are still taped up. Hard to know under whose diktat, but a diktat it is. Saw an elderly disabled gentleman the other day daring to break the rules and sit on one of the seats to rest for a bit.

Covid 19 – the most canny virus ever – is up to it’s old tricks again in Quebec. If an unvaxed person goes into a store to purchase food or medicine then it will leave well alone. If they happen to put anything else in their shopping bag while they are in the store then Covid 19 will leap from the shadows and strike dead every person in the store whether they are vaxed or unvaxed.

Well, the other year it was able to tell the time – 10:01pm in pubs it was running rampant – and woe betide anyone who stayed in a relatives’ house a few minutes into Boxing Day 2020!

It is indeed a clever bugger – and sadly, a lot of vaccinated people will believe that it is that clever and support measures like this

“Conservatives rally round the Prime Minister, making the unlikely-to-fly argument that those who make the rules shouldn’t have to keep them because nobody else does, according to the Telegraph.”

Just think, Kim Jong Johnson, if you hadn’t made such absurd, malevolent totalitarian rules, you couldn’t have been accused of breaking them.

Scathing verdict on wokeness and ‘equity’ in particular. https://oxfordsour.substack.com/p/broken-eggs
“For all their talk of ‘diversity and inclusion,’ what the Woke really desire is a world in which we celebrate their mediocrities, validate their pathologies, and confirm their absurdities.
Armed with inflated grades, useless degrees, and the hokum of ‘everyone is gifted,’ the Woke degrade excellence in elevation of mediocrity. That’s why modern art degrades rather than sweetens, why ugliness and ‘breaking taboo’ are the highest accolades of a modern culture long captive to the grievances of the mediocre.”

Absolute insanity – a collective condition of serious mental illness….humanity is in real trouble if this state sponsored mass psychosis continues.

Polly Hudson – in The Mirror… Reading this absolute hard-not-to-swear-at drivel, although it is written in an MSM paper, one is aware of how much misinformation is out there. If this sort of article had been produced by the ‘other side’ and put on a social media channel, it would have been removed pretty fast. It’s an appalling piece of utterly biased rubbish – the trouble is it will be read and believed. Misinformation? Dear G*d!

Do what I did – sent a complaint to IPSOS or whatever they’re called.
