Boris Self-Isolating After Fellow MP Tests Positive

The Prime Minister was self-isolating last night after Lee Anderson, a Conservative MP with whom Boris had a 35-minute meeting, tested positive. But why has he got to self-isolate, given that he had COVID-19 less than six months ago and even the BMJ admits that T-Cell immunity lasts at least six months? The MailOnline has an explanation.
It is possible to contract COVID-19 twice, with five confirmed cases of reinfection reported globally as of last month.
Tests have shown that many people who recover from COVID-19 do have antibodies which can produce future immunity.
But not enough is known about whether protection is long-term as the virus has only been known to science for less than a year.
Even if a patient is asymptomatic, they may still be able to pass on the virus to people they are in close contact with.
But hang on. If having had COVID-19 less than six months ago doesn’t give you immunity, what hope is there for a vaccine? The BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine is already a two-parter. Will we be expected to have a booster every few months as well?
As the MailOnline points out, the telephone call from NHS Test and Trace couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Prime Minister who is hoping to relaunch his Government this week after the recent upheavals among his staff at Number 10.
Stop Press: Dan Hodges didn’t pull his punches in his Mail on Sunday column yesterday. It was headlined: “If the future is now all about wind farms, trans rights and wokery, Boris Johnson is doomed.”

Labour Calls For Censorship of Anti-Vaxx ‘Misinformation’ on Social Media

The Labour Party has demanded the Government do more to force social media companies to remove “dangerous anti-vax content”. Sky News has more.
Anti-vaccination content on social media is “poison” and “garbage” and should be “stamped out”, Labour has said.
With hopes rising of a COVID-19 jab being rolled out by the end of the year, the opposition has called for emergency legislation to remove “dangerous anti-vax content”, such as posts against the use of vaccines.
The party wants the government to bring forward laws that would include financial and criminal penalties for companies that fail to act against such content.
Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth told Sky News’ Sophy Ridge on Sunday that “dangerous nonsense” is being spread on social media by people who are against inoculations and it “erodes trust” in vaccines.
There is “poison, garbage (and) conspiracy theories” online and “it’s all nonsense”, he added.
Mr Ashworth said Labour wanted to work with the government to tackle the issue.
This is alarming. First the Royal Society and the British Academy call for disseminating anti-vaxxing ‘misinformation’ to become a criminal offence, and now the Labour Party wants the Government to impose financial and criminal penalties on social media companies that fail to censor anti-vaxxing content. (It shows how out of touch the Labour Party is if it genuinely believes social media companies aren’t doing enough to suppress Covid dissent.)
If the Labour Party wants people to trust public health authorities on vaccines, why not call for a more honest and transparent presentation of scientific data about every aspect of this crisis? It’s not anti-vaxxers who are eroding public trust, but the Government which deliberately misled the public about the risk rising cases posed to the NHS in order to secure the consent of the House of Commons to the second lockdown. To rebuild public trust, we need more openness not more censorship.
It’s true that a significant minority of people are wary of taking the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine. But if your aim is to reassure those people that the vaccine is safe and effective, with minimal side effects, censoring anti-vaxxers won’t help. On the contrary, they will conclude that their concerns are well-founded. After all, if they were easily rebutted, why not engage with the anti-vaxxers in the public square? If the pro-vaxxers are relying on censoring their opponents to win the argument, that will make the fence-sitters more nervous, not less.
As the Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said, “If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

How Many People Are Catching Covid in Hospital?

Yesterday, the doctor who writes regularly for Lockdown Sceptics posed the question, “How many patients caught Covid while in hospital having been admitted for other reasons?” Shortly afterwards, Professor Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson addressed that issue in the Spectator.
NHS England publishes a daily Covid ‘situation report’ that gives the number of new hospital cases and breaks down how many came from care homes and how many are from wider society, which they term the ‘community’. In line with NHS England guidance, patients who test positive after seven days or more in hospital are considered probable healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs).
We noticed that in some of the larger hospital trusts, the amount of absentee staff for COVID-19 has been steady throughout the summer and autumn, indicating likely low-level transmission among staff. But, among patients it is a different story. The current rate of infections in a healthcare setting is hovering at around 20%, up from 12% in October.
Big problem, in other words. They conclude:
We must assess whether the use of dedicated areas and the other measures will be sufficient. If they are not, the only way to control these outbreaks is to separate hospitals.

“A Whole Industry Waiting For a Pandemic to Occur”

A reader has drawn my attention to an interview Tom Jefferson did with the German news weekly Der Spiegel in 2009. The subject was Swine Flu, but his remarks anticipated the current pandemic.
Spiegel: Do you consider the swine flu to be particularly worrisome?
Jefferson: It’s true that influenza viruses are unpredictable, so it does call for a certain degree of caution. But one of the extraordinary features of this influenza – and the whole influenza saga – is that there are some people who make predictions year after year, and they get worse and worse. None of them so far have come about, and these people are still there making these predictions. For example, what happened with the bird flu, which was supposed to kill us all? Nothing. But that doesn’t stop these people from always making their predictions. Sometimes you get the feeling that there is a whole industry almost waiting for a pandemic to occur.
Spiegel: Who do you mean? The World Health Organization (WHO)?
Jefferson: The WHO and public health officials, virologists and the pharmaceutical companies. They’ve built this machine around the impending pandemic. And there’s a lot of money involved, and influence, and careers, and entire institutions! And all it took was one of these influenza viruses to mutate to start the machine grinding.

Brave Boys in Blue Break Up Baptism

Heroic Metropolitan Police Officers put themselves in the line of fire yesterday to… break up a baptism. BBC News has more.
Police halted a baptism service after about 30 worshippers gathered in breach of national lockdown restrictions.
Regan King, lead pastor at The Angel Church, Islington, defended his decision to hold the service, saying it served “the greater good”.
The pastor agreed to hold a brief “socially distanced outdoor gathering in the church courtyard” after officers halted the service.
Four officers stood at the entrance stopping people from entering.
Under current restrictions weddings and baptisms are not allowed in England. Funerals can be attended by a maximum of 30 people.Mr King, 28, said he wanted to hold the baptism as it was providing “an essential service”.
He said: “We were told not to have a baptism and police began to block people from entering the church, so we decided to make other arrangements.”
Asked why he had decided to breach the restrictions, Mr King said: “Because I believe we serve a greater good.
“This is an essential service that we provide.
“It’s about loving our neighbour, and you can talk with a number of people here who are extremely vulnerable, homeless or on the verge of being very isolated.”
Two police vans and a police car parked outside the church’s hall.
A 22-year-old attendee said: “While the restrictions allow people to go to the supermarket to get food, I think there needs to be consideration for spiritual food as well.”
On Friday, more than 100 church leaders launched a judicial review of the decision to ban people from worshipping together.
A Met spokesman said officers spoke with the pastor following reports he intended to hold a “baptism and an in-person service”.
The spokesman said: “Officers explained that due to COVID-19, restrictions are in place preventing gatherings and that financial penalties can be applied if they are breached.”
Thank God for the police. While most of us run away from danger, they run towards it. They didn’t even know whether the baby was armed!
Where would we be without them?
AIDS and Covid: A Tale of Two Health Scares

We’re publishing an original piece today by Nick Macleod, a former insurance actuary, who sees plenty of parallels between the panicky, over-reaction to the Covid pandemic back in March and the initial reaction to the AIDs pandemic.
AIDS entered the public consciousness in the mid-1980s. At that time, I was working in the USA as an actuary at a large multiline insurer. To my surprise, I was given the rather broad-brush assignment Assess the effect of AIDS on the health insurance industry in North America.
I spent the next several months developing mathematical models of the spread of infection, and applying them to official health statistics, which were provided under free subscription by the Centers for Disease Control in their Weekly Surveillance Report. And, like anyone who has worked with epidemiological models during an emerging infection, I came to understand that early-stage projections are not neutral; they have an intrinsic and marked tendency towards exaggeration of whatever threat they’re applied to.
The reason is that with any new health condition, early infections and deaths naturally occur among the most susceptible parts of the population. With AIDS, there were clearly-defined and relatively small groups of people who were at very high risk, and almost all of the early cases were among members of those groups. As the disease spread to the much larger lower-risk parts of the population, overall rates of infection and death fell significantly.
When unrepresentative infection and death rates derived from early data are projected into the far future their effects are greatly amplified, just as a rifle fired at a distant target will turn a tiny error in aim into a miss by miles. And once the projected rates have been translated into numbers of deaths for a population of millions we end up with apocalyptic forecasts that can’t help but induce panic.
Many scientists spend their careers searching for eye-catching results, and it must be extremely difficult to choose to tone down the few that do occur, especially when they apply to a novel and high-profile disease. The temptation to believe you’ve discovered a genuinely awful and important truth is a powerful one. The Royal College of Nursing certainly couldn’t resist: in 1985, they predicted that one million people in Britain would have AIDS within six years. But by 1990, the cumulative total was less than 5,000.

Fewer than 0.4% of Scousers Have Covid
According to the BBC, 90,000 Liverpudlians have now been tested after one week of mass testing using the lateral flow test and only 336 of them tested positive, i.e. fewer than 0.4%. And, as Dr Clare Craig pointed out, almost all of these will be false positives. After all, the lateral flow test has a false positive rate of 0.4%. This is in stark contrast to the latest ONS infection survey (w/e November 6th), which estimated that 2.2% of people in the North-West are positive.

This could mean one of two things. Either the lateral flow test is more accurate than the PCR test – in which case Liverpool should be released from lockdown tomorrow – or it’s not fit for purpose. Hard to see the Government reaching the latter conclusion, given that it’s spent £40 billion on mass testing so far. But anything’s possible.
Stop Press: The number of coronavirus patients being treated in Liverpool’s hospitals fell by 15% the week before lockdown, according to figures released by NHS England.

Covid Poses Almost No Threat to Healthy Under 70s in Scotland

A reader has found the above table in the latest update (w/e November 11th) to the National Records of Scotland’s Covid dashboard. It says that 88% of those who’ve died of Covid in Scotland so far are aged 70 or above and the total number of people who’ve succumbed to Covid with no underlying health condition is 563 (8% of the total). And the reader points out that this number would be even lower if obesity was classed as an underlying condition. In other words, if you’re under 70 and healthy, Covid poses almost no risk.
No surprise, then, that the Scottish Government has introduced a Byzantine, incomprehensible series of restrictions.
Here is the reader’s attempt to summarise what restrictions are planned for the coming weeks:
Level 4 on Tuesday. Councils are being briefed by the Scottish Government this morning on what to expect.
All other areas will stay at their current levels except for the North East moving to Level 3.
West and Central Scotland Level 4 for a minimum of four weeks. If figures are good, they will return to Level 3 mid-December.
All Level 3 areas will remain in that band until January 5th.
If the R Number (R) is estimated to be between 0.6-1.0 at Christmas, there will be a 48hr relaxation on 25th and 26th of December for home visits for those living in Level 3 and 4 areas, which will temporarily be downgraded to Level 2.
If figures are reduced, the Executive is hoping much of Scotland will return to Level 2 on January 5th when footfall for the hospitality sector is traditionally at its lowest.
If you’re planning on visiting anyone in Scotland over Christmas, you cannot arrive until one minute after midnight on December 25th at the earliest (bad luck Santa) and you’ll have to depart at one minute before midnight on December 26th.
Portuguese Appeals Court Deems PCR tests unreliable

A Portuguese professor and lockdown sceptic has sent me a long and informative email about a recent ruling by the Portuguese Court of Appeal which casts doubt on the reliability of the PCR test. It is a great tribute to the integrity of the Portuguese legal system that the Court seems to understand in considerable detail the shortcomings of the PCR test as a diagnostic tool, particularly when not used in combination with a clinical diagnosis. I think this is the best news I’ve had all week. What follows is not the whole email. The professor doesn’t want to be identified, so I’m only publishing an extract.
With Spain and Greece, Portugal is one of the few countries in the so-called West where enough people are still alive to know what a dictatorship looks like. Our numbers are dwindling, as you have to be at least 60 to have experienced the 1974 revolution in any meaningful manner. I was a teenager at the time, and I remember very well what daily life was like under censorship, massively lying mass media, police brutality, arbitrary detention in the name of the “national interest”, etc. — all those things that I hoped never again have to experience but that the current Covid climate has brought very, very vividly to the fore. Yet, it may well be exactly because of such things having happened in living memory that our Government has been less heavy-handed about the pandemic than most others in Europe. And, now to the point, maybe that’s also why our high courts have issued rulings of potentially devastating consequences for the current Covid narrative. Portugal is a small country but is part of the EU and so what happens here still is of some international significance. That’s why I thought you’d be interested in learning about some recent developments.
In a recent decision, dated November 11, 2020, a Portuguese appeal court ruled against the Azores Regional Health Authority concerning a lower court decision to declare unlawful the quarantining of four persons. Of these, one had tested positive for Covid using a PCR test; the other three were deemed to have undergone a high risk of exposure. Consequently, the Regional Health Authority decided that all four were infectious and a health hazard, which required that they go into isolation. The lower court had ruled against the Health Authority, and the appeal court upheld that ruling with arguments that explicitly endorse the scientific case for the lack of reliability of the PCR tests (e.g., as extensively explained in Lockdown Skeptics by Dr. Mike Yeadon, Dr. Clare Craig and others).
The court’s ruling is a long text. I provide below a summary of the key passage.
The court’s main points are as follows:
- A medical diagnosis is a medical act that only a physician is legally qualified to undertake and for which such physician will be solely and entirely responsible. No other person or institution, including government agencies or the courts, has such an authority. It is not up to the Azores Regional Health Authority to declare someone ill, or a health hazard. Only a physician can do that. No one can be declared ill or a health hazard by decree or law, nor as the automatic, administrative consequence of the outcome of a laboratory test, no matter which.
- From the above, the court concludes that “if carried out with no prior medical observation of the patient, with no participation of a physician certified by the Ordem dos Médicos who would have assessed symptoms and requested the tests/exams deemed necessary, any act of diagnosis, or any act of public health vigilance (such as determining whether a viral infection or a high risk of exposure exist, which the aforementioned concepts subsume) will violate [a number of laws and regulations] and may configure a crime of usurpação de funções [unlawful practice of a profession] in the case said acts are carried out or dictated by someone devoid of the capacity to do so, i.e., by someone who is not a certified physician [to practice medicine in Portugal a degree is not enough, you need to be accepted as qualified to practice medicine by undergoing examination with the Ordem dos Médicos, roughly our equivalent of the UK’s Royal College of Physicians].”
- In addition, the court rules that the Azores Health Authority violated article 6 of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, as it failed to provide evidence that the informed consent mandated by said Declaration had been given by the PCR-tested persons who had complained against the forced quarantine measures imposed on them.
- From the facts presented to the court, it concluded that no evidentiary proof or even indication existed that the four persons in question had been seen by a doctor, either before or after undertaking the test.
The above would suffice to deem the forced quarantine of the four persons unlawful. The court thought it necessary, however, to add some very interesting considerations about the PCR tests:
- “Based on the currently available scientific evidence this test [the RT-PCR test] is in and of itself unable to determine beyond reasonable doubt that positivity in fact corresponds to infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, for several reasons, among which two are paramount (to which one would need to add the issue of the gold standard, which, due to that issue’s specificity, will not be considered here): the test’s reliability depends on the number of cycles used; the test’s reliability depends on the viral load present.”
- Citing Jaafar et al. (2020;), the court concludes that “if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the rule in most laboratories in Europe and the US), the probability that said person is infected is <3%, and the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%.” The court further notes that the cycle threshold used for the PCR tests currently being made in Portugal is unknown [N.B. – I know from acquaintances that in at least some Portuguese labs the threshold is 35 cycles].
- Citing Surkova et al. (2020)), the court further states that any diagnostic test must be interpreted in the context of the actual probability of disease as assessed prior to the undertaking of the test itself, and expresses the opinion that “in the current epidemiological landscape of the United Kingdom, the likelihood is increasing that Covid 19 tests are returning false positives, with major implications for individuals, the health system and society.”
The court’s summary of the case to rule against the Regional Health Authority’s appeal reads as follows:
- “Given how much scientific doubt exists — as voiced by experts, i.e., those who matter — about the reliability of the PCR tests, given the lack of information concerning the tests’ analytical parameters, and in the absence of a physician’s diagnosis supporting the existence of infection or risk, there is no way this court would ever be able to determine whether C was indeed a carrier of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, or whether A, B and D had been at a high risk of exposure to it.”
I anticipate this ruling to have massive legal implications in my country. Note that it comes in the back of a previous ruling by the Constitutional Court, our highest court, declaring as an unlawful deprivation of liberty a decision by the Regional Government of the Azores to force into a 14-day quarantine every passenger landing in an airport of the territory.
Stop Press: A reader has got in touch to say he’s looked at the NHS definitions for the terms used in the monthly data analysed by my doctor friend yesterday and uncovered the following gem:
For all relevant data items: a confirmed COVID-19 patient is any patient admitted to the trust who has recently (ie in the last 14 days) tested positive for COVID-19 following a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.
Patients who have been diagnosed via X-ray and assessment rather than a positive test should be counted as suspected (and not confirmed) COVID-19 patients.
So patients that have a test but no diagnosis are confirmed COVID patients. Anyone with a firm clinical diagnosis but no positive test are “suspected”.

“Mask Exempt” Lanyards

We’ve created a one-stop shop down here for people who want to buy (or make) a “Mask Exempt” lanyard/card. You can print out and laminate a fairly standard one for free here and it has the advantage of not explicitly claiming you have a disability. But if you have no qualms about that (or you are disabled), you can buy a lanyard from Amazon saying you do have a disability/medical exemption here (takes a while to arrive). The Government has instructions on how to download an official “Mask Exempt” notice to put on your phone here. You can get a “Hidden Disability” tag from ebay here and an “exempt” card with lanyard for just £1.99 from Etsy here. And, finally, if you feel obliged to wear a mask but want to signal your disapproval of having to do so, you can get a “sexy world” mask with the Swedish flag on it here.
Don’t forget to sign the petition on the UK Government’s petitions website calling for an end to mandatory face masks in shops here.

The Great Barrington Declaration

The Great Barrington Declaration, a petition started by Professor Martin Kulldorff, Professor Sunetra Gupta and Professor Jay Bhattacharya calling for a strategy of “Focused Protection” (protect the elderly and the vulnerable and let everyone else get on with life), was launched last month and the lockdown zealots have been doing their best to discredit it ever since. If you Googled it a week after launch, the top hits were three smear pieces from the Guardian, including: “Herd immunity letter signed by fake experts including ‘Dr Johnny Bananas’.” (Freddie Sayers at UnHerd warned us about this the day before it appeared.) On the bright side, Google UK has stopped shadow banning it, so the actual Declaration now tops the search results – and my Spectator piece about the attempt to suppress it is among the top hits – although discussion of it has been censored by Reddit. The reason the zealots hate it, of course, is that it gives the lie to their claim that “the science” only supports their strategy. These three scientists are every bit as eminent – more eminent – than the pro-lockdown fanatics so expect no let up in the attacks. (Wikipedia has also done a smear job.)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C.S. Lewis
The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.
Albert Camus
We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Good morning world!
The Government seems to be living off mirage money.
Who is the de facto Prime minister of the country?
What does levelling up mean if by 2030 only very expensive electric cars will be available?
Why does Prince Charles think that the currently crisis is a great opportunity?
Why does the Labour health spokesman want to suppress any open discussion on vaccines? Does the left suddenly love Big Pharma?
Are these peoples right to be crush by a Labour Health spokesman with no medical qualifications?
Coronavirus: NHS staff flock to anti-vax group (The Times)
Hundreds of NHS and care home staff have formed a group opposed to vaccinations, wearing masks and testing in hospitals.
The group, NHS Workers for Choice, No Restrictions for Declining a Vaccine, has gained more than 250 Facebook members in a month. They include a GP, several accident and emergency nurses, healthcare assistants, lab workers, and private and public care home staff.
It says it is not an anti-vaccine group and exists to support healthcare workers, but The Times found posts saying that the Pfizer-BionTech coronavirus vaccine was a new frozen virus, similar to smallpox, to be “unleashed” on the world. They compared it to “poison”.
One member who works in a GP’s surgery, said that she would rather quit than help with a vaccination
Thanks for that info on the nhs group, I’ll be joining.
I’m not on Facebook, but I rather think that group will not be an official NHS one.

GatewayPundit 15th Nov 2020.
Good morning John!
In regards to the 2009 swine flu here is the article fmor the Mail
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1242147/The-false-pandemic-Drug-firms-cashed-scare-swine-flu-claims-Euro-health-chief.html
The EU tried to take the WHO to court accusing it of collaborating with the pharmaceutical industry to declare a pandemic to trigger the vaccine contracts with governemnts.
We had Ferguson at the helm then and at the time also took money from GSK. He is more careful nowadays.
The Guardian discovers herd immunity
”Our immune systems can cope with Covid 19- it’s our politicians who can’t”
They’ve found out about T-cell immunity, that reinfection is vanishingly rare all sorts that might have seen here at LS.
‘It is tempting to think that the virus is a pathogen the likes of which we have never seen before.
In reality, it is our inadequate policies and lack of evidence based public health strategy that have gotten us (sic) to where we are today. . .”
Good old Guardian, got there in the end.
Somebody send it to Boris, give him something to read while he’s isolating. For an illness he’s already had.
I suggest he binge-watches Ivor Cummins first
Nice idea, but have we got anyone to subtitle the videos in ancient Greek?
And footage from Australia.
What a coincidence that Alexander Johnson has to self isolate when Downing Street is in meltdown. Sel isolating? hiding and plotting more like. What an absolute lying piece of shit.
Don’t blame for isolating from Princess Nut Nuts
His hair is getting whiter by the day.
Send him Hugo’s Les Misérables.
No, send him a variety of descriptions of life under Communism or Fascism, and ask if he can tell the difference between them and life in present day Britain. Answer – they were generally freer under Communism. At least they could meet as families, and buy stuff when there was any, in shops.
no, send him a summons to Court for fraud
Add to the court case mass murder. He certainly did that one really well. Send his friends right along with him.
The Guardian: Japan shop deploys robot to check people are wearing face masks.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/16/japan-shop-deploys-robot-to-check-people-are-wearing-face-masks
This is why suicides have rocketed in Japan. It’s an inhumane, plastic, concrete dystopia
yes, I went there expecting mountains and green tea and plinky plonk music, but I found it, instead, to be a massive factory. I should have expected it really. On the other hand it made me realise that UK has no industry in comparison.
You can find the mountains, green tea and shamisen/koto music but you have to leave the built up metropolitan areas to do so. Sounds like you had a disappointing trip though and I’m sorry to hear that. Rural Japan is still very beautiful.
I suggest that when (or if, of course,. I wouldn’t put it past Boris, and his malign quartet to keep them permanently) we get rid of face masks we have a Bonfire night Day of burnings, with Vallance, Whitty, Ferguson (plus his forecast of 250,000 dead) Boris and Hancock on top. Bags I light the fire!! Oh, and can we sack all the inhuman care home bosses etc.
Plus there is a whole different attitude to suicide in Japan. It is sometimes seen as an honourable thing to do. (I speak from experience as my Japanese father-in-law took his own life)
Rasmussen sounds a bit Scandinavian to me..,
This whole thing has been traumatic for the Guardian. It’s been an article of faith for 70 years, possibly longer, that “Swedes do it better”…to have to reject the Swedish approach to public health has been unsettling for them.
The Guardian won’t admit that the WEF, the banks, Pharma, Gates etc are seeking to enslave us and to parasite off of us indefinitely under the guise of a virus that for most people can be treated by Lemsips and rest
The Guardian is all on board for that.
of course not as Gates pays them!
Bill Gates pays off the Guardian, They will never say anything against him. He gives many medias out there money to shut them up. Including the BBC as well if I remember correctly. Anyone who praises him gets his money. He buys of anyone and everyone he can, including the WHO.
Very slow on the uptake but at least they got there in the end.
The Guardian will soon be pushing for Canadian and New Zealand style ‘quarantine camps’ (concentration camps)
They can push all they want. Very soon nobody will be listening to them.
only other journalists, the BBC and politicans
But will it stay there, seems unlikely.
Tried to find the article but failed. It’s buried somewhere beneath a mountain of articles pretty much pushing the opposite view.
So wouldn’t congratulate The Guardian just yet.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/15/immune-systems-covid-19-politicians-virus
Usual problem of headline not written by the author. Comments are entertaining…
I very rarely read the comments in the Guardian – but some of those are hysterical!
url link posted by Cheshirecat just bellow.
Sorry can’t do it via Android.
In my view, the highly critical article that appeared in the BMJ a couple of days ago and written by their executive editor was a major piece of news.
In normal times I would have expected it to have been given significant coverage in the media but there is no evidence of this happening.
Have I misjudged it’s importance or is something amiss?
PS The lead article in yesterday’s Sunday Times was of a similar nature but does not seem to have created much of a stir.
But the medics will know that they will not be able to pretend that they did not know.
Ofcom rules still a barrier
I’m not sure it was written from a sceptical position. Sounded more like a turf war with the medical establishment peeved at the way Big Pharma is taking over policy formation in this area across the board. Adult vaccination programmes must be a bit of a pain for GPs.
Oh but it did mention PCR not being fit for purpose. And the citation they used was the same document cited in the Portuguese case mentioned in today’s update as evidence to bin it.
Thats the Pandoras box. No going back.
They are getting paid 20% more than for the normal flu jab, £25.00 a head for the double dose.
Most GPs are mega rich in comparison with the communities they serve. I saw a top of the range Bentley in the the car park to a GP centre in a poor part of town the other day. Chances of it belonging to anyone else but the GP must be close to zero. My point is that they really don’t need more money – they are after more time to enjoy their money, so anything that adds to the management burden is not welcome.
My GP seems to employ pharmacist prescribers in place of GPs now. You ask for an appointment with a GP and its only once they get to something they cannot do they admit they are not actually a GP. Seemed a bit of a racket even before all this.
You have not misjudged. It should have brought down the government.
The lack of interest demonstrates what we are up against.
The machinery of fascism has taken over. Plain clothes police in Italy are beating up unemployed anti-lockdown protestors. Those pushing the Great Reset don’t care about the science. They never did
I am half Italian and it is disgusting what is going on in Italy.
The Guardian article is good about immunity, comments are horrendous.
Here’s a prize one
“What a disgrace of an article, I have been ill for 4 months straight after being infected, a 30 year old in perfect health and know many others who have been also. No mention at all that this virus is causing mass auto immune disease, that can disable you for life, in 10s of 1000s of people in this country and 100s of 1000s globally.
Criminal”
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/15/immune-systems-covid-19-politicians-virus
Probably the Mail commenter who claimed
“I know three people myself who have had the Covid twice”.
To have Covid once may be regarded as a misfortune. To have it twice looks like carelessness.
The Importance of Being Johnson
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.

Surprised they didn’t say they know 3 people who’ve died twice!
a famous Trump quote about Covid ” People are dying who have never died before”
Well, it does take a little time to convert zombies back into human beings, when you’ve spent the last seven months converting them into zombies.
That’s assuming that the Grauniad doesn’t immediately revert to arch-zombyism. They do owe a duty to their readership, after all.
This is promising. I have been boycotting the Guardian since January, before all this madness, when they published the name and photo of a man who went on a knifing rampage in Streatham. The article basically said: the man was known to authorities as someone who wanted fame for a terrorist attack… here is his name and photo. Since the madness started they I have been reliably informed that they went so deep down the rabbit hole, they met The Times coming down its own hole. Both have been stumbling around in the darkness ever since. If anyone is calling for censorship and criminalising the spread of misinformation, they could do a good sweep of the MSM right now and shut them all down!
I expect they’ll make it a threesome with the boycotted Telegraph.
BBC, Sky, C4, ITV, GMB should also join them.
I’ve been boycotting them for 15 years when I saw the light!
I would bet money that the “facts” in that comment are completely fabricated.
Oh diddums!
(to the poor person with ‘long covid’ (I assume)
Then a Chron’s patient enters the chat…
Guardian readers love ‘auto immune disease’. They don’t, of course, mean real ones like diabetes or MS. Theirs are the modern equivalent of ‘a bad back’ and the aim is to avoid work and make the argument for a Universal Basic Handout.
It would be interesting to see a study into the psychological effects of the belief that one has a potentially fatal disease. If they had never been told that they had The Lurgy, would they have all these symptoms? I doubt it.
That’s undoubtedly true and I think it has it’s origins in so-called complementary medicine that they’re so enamoured of. It’s the go to explanation every time.
Ivor Cummins pointed out the similarities between homeopathy and PCR testing producing something from nothing. Money in the case of homeopathy and also a major byproduct in PCR.
You may doubt it, but the immune system starting to attack the muscles and organs in a cytokine storm triggered by a viral infection is a scientific fact. Use your Googling finger on Guillaine Barre syndrome, Kawasaki disease etc etc. It would actually be a bit strange if CV19 never eventuated in this in some subjects. Why do steroids help to combat this? Because they damp down the immune system. Why are some people more susceptible than others – women certainly are? Its a genetic and sex linked factor in the way their bodies process steroids, hormones.
Housewife illnesses, in other words. Children far too old to be an excuse, don’t want to work for a living, what’s the answer? A ‘syndrome’, of course. And the body attacking itself is the ultimate narcissm.
I bet you’re one of those who never believed in others’ period pains, either. “Get over yourself, run 3 times round the hockey field, that’ll do the trick!”
susceptibility depends upon the state of the immune system and previous vaccines do not help. Look what happened after the swine flu vaccine! Narcolpesy!
Must have been a troll.
CCP bot most likely.
What are we dealing with here?
Cameron describes the pig dictator as a slippery pig (a bit rich coming from him but hey ho)
Rory Stewart describes the PD as the most accomplished liar in public life in the UK today
The PD’s own family have disowned him
Let’s go back to the weekend of the second lockdown leak
We are asked to believe that the PD had been told that 4,000 a day would die by December if there was no lockdown; and with a heavy heart he was considering the options.
Then the leak and he is ‘bounced ‘ into locking everyone up
Leak enquiry. Every suspects phone is examined
Low and behold the evidence is found to sack Cain and Cummings
Princess Nut Nuts seizes power
Remember the Sunday night press conference? Delay after delay. The sense of drama? (even though an insider said the PD was actually watching the rugby)
So who leaked the document?
Well, follow the money
The PD always knew what was on those phones. The whole thing was contrived and a confection
Innocent people locked up and prevented from seeing their grandchild in order to get rid of Cummings and install PNN
This whole rotten edifice needs tearing down
Can I have one of those machines with a ball on a chain that knocks walls down? Always wanted a go on one of those.
Oops, sorry, Mr Wancock, I just didn’t see you.

Mister Prime Minister, tear down this wall!
You’ve got to admit that Bozo is erring on the side of caution. Five Covvie reinfections ‘confirmed’ globally.
Five out of more than seven billion people. We tremble, yes we tremble.
However, we can agree that Bozo is infectious, having spread enslavement, misery, despair, bankruptcy, terror and zombyist stupidity through the entire country.
He has posted a pathetic comment that even though he has had the disease he has to follow the rules, but he is the PM does he not have some influence on the rules? The NHS is currently advertising for people who had Covid to donate blood plasma for the treatment of current patients, I understand this plasma treatment is proving effective. So that means that as a former covid sufferer Boris could offer to donate his blood plasma whilst at the same time self isolating!
I somehow do not think Winston Churchill or Margaret Thatched would have put up with this nonsense for 5 seconds. Apparently King George suggested to Churchill that the country should give up alcohol during the war, absurd said Churchill and opened another bottle of Champagne, I somehow cannot imagine him self isolating, cowering like a sniveling wimp in his wood shed.
Churchill’s annotation to a favourable memorandum
“Action This Day !”
bozo ‘I’ll just have to check with Carrie and get back to you’.
Clearly those who have had COVID need to be given new careers as blood plasma producers. They will be put up in shared accommodation (own bedroom/bathroom) and looked after by the NHS (bites lip to stop laugh) and will be required to donate blood plasma weekly for the common good.
People who have had Covid to donate their blood?
PCR positive you mean? Jesus. So someone who w as asymptomatic and for some reason got a test is now being asked to donate their magic beans? Yeah, nothing can go wrong
I was in hospital in March and tested positive (was in for appendicitis) and then went to donate my blood plasma after I had recovered – they chucked it in the bin cos there wasn’t enough covid in it haha.
Johnson is following the rules because we are supposed to believe that without vaccination immunity is not possible. He is again doing his bit on behalf of Bill Gates.
Now he’s been a good boy by getting rid of Dom and wotsisname he’s probably getting that ‘special thing you do’ from you know who.
Shanghai grip?
A brief comment on the AIDS panic , discussed in Nick Macleod’s article: when on a clinical placement-part of my degree course-a fellow mature student and I spent time in an outlying hospital ,one of whose patients was a young man suspected of being HIV+ve.
Our tutor adopted biohazard panic precautions- gown, mask, gloves etc, at which point we explained that the virus causing AIDS was transmitted by exchange of body fluids, usually by sexual or infected needle transmission, and that therefore the gown and mask outfit were entirely useless .
Furthermore the tutor’s anonymous impersonal appearance added to the unfortunate young patient’s fear and apprehension.
Gown and mask removed.
I remember the tabloids asking. whether you could get AIDS off a toilet seat.
Fouci said it could be transmitted by ‘casual social contact’.
Aha.Confirm toilet seat.
He has much to answer for.
Once as a church minister I helped a young man who was AIDS positive. He said that on one occasion police came to arrest him with bio hazard suits and riot shields.
Shocking; what goes around, comes around.
The big difference between the Covid and HIV/AIDS panics is that with AIDS it never occurred to governments to grind all social and economic activity to a halt in a mad, futile attempt to suppress it.
It seems that every new disease causes some degree of hysteria and over-reaction.
What is exceptional about this one is how easy it has been for governments to steal away our civil liberty, how willing the population has been to give it away and how much collateral damage we have all been willing to inflict on ourselves and others.
This is an unprecedented collective mental disorder.
Correct
Totally agree. How on earth did the public fall for this load of shxxe from this load of shysters? The lockdown protests so far have been very low key. Can someone please think of a way of getting the message through to the malign quartet before our entire life goes down the proverbial plughole? Personally I’m up for anything legal. Can’t decide if I’m incandescent with fury, in despair , disgust or disbelief at the attitude of a great many of my fellow citizens. I’m 74 and unafraid.
Covid drives you mad.
Being mad gives you Covid.

Escape route needed.
The other day there was a useful schematic on this site showing the extent to which the Pfizer vaccine works in a very different way to any of the traditional vaccines. I find its mode of action disturbing to say the least. The other thing that disturbs me is the way all this vaccine stuff is being manipulated in the name of money and power rather than any real concern for people’s health. To the extent that it is not at all clear that the vaccine proposed last week is actually a viable practical proposition?
It seems to me that these vaccine announcements are being used to convince us all to hang on a bit longer in misery until a vaccine comes along to save us. With no prospect of a vaccine we would be obliged to face reality and develop policies to enable us to live with the disease.
It is appalling that there is so much talk of a vaccine and so little about effective cures. Treatments for serious covid have got better and could do much better still but all the talk is about vaccines. We never got a vaccine for AIDS but we have got effective treatments, do we learn nothing?
In the end, if there is a vaccine I too may need it for International Travel but I still think we should be fully aware of what is happening and not be afraid to make our voice heard.
I agree. We’ve had the novel pathogen. Now we’re getting the novel vaccine. Isn’t directly affecting DNA genetic engineering? At a minimum there should be free and open discussion about this new approach. If it’s avoiding a toxic adjuvant (is it? ) that’s good but what else are we opening the door to?
Little talk, but plenty of activity. Treatments are ranging from antivirals for very early mitigation of severe disease (principally antibodies and more potent tablets – remdesivir is neither potent or a tablet), through to treatments for the inflammatory effects (dexamethasone is the first to work, baracitinib is coming and others are being tested). Treatments don’t prevent infection (much), and the public only really understand vaccines anyway.
Viruses are really only self-assembly programs. the mRNA vaccine is like giving a subroutine to assemble part of the virus. It’s pretty cool. The next level up is to give part of the virus (spike protein) itself, and the final level is to give a whole virus which may be a mix of non-replicating foreign virus with the protein on the outside (Oxford), killed vaccine, or live but attenuated. All of these are being tested.
The NHS dislikes people who ‘jump the queue’ by going private.
Some years ago I damaged my back and while waiting 6 months for the NHS to spring into action was feeling some considerable pain.
I was recommended a chiropractor by an associate so went there weekly for pain relief (£40.00 a pop, very well worth it). When I asked them they suggested it was probably for the best that I did not tell the NHS for that very reason.
Literally a “pop”.
And yet were it not for ‘going private’ the NHS would be swamped.
Ditto schools.
I’ve noticed that a particular correspondent who has often posted in disagreement with my comments has been conspicuous by his silence the last few days – am I to assume that he now accepts that I am correct ?
Please respond either way – you can read my post from yesterday.
I’m sure none of us would blame anybody for taking the vaccine. What we object to is people being forced to take it, or being pilloried for choosing not to.
A supermarket near me has reintroduced the rule that NHS workers can jump the queue. Although there are a great many brave, extremely hard working and poorly paid people in the healthcare system, and always have been, the idea that in theory my GP, who has refused to see anyone without a zoom meeting or photo of an ailment since March, should be given hero status, is particularly galling. Many in this profession should be slow clapped out of shops, not given special treatment.
Have spoken to quite a few friends who work in hospitals (nurses etc) who all admit how bored they are with nothing to do.
Boycott them. If they have decided another group of the public are more important than you then go somewhere that treats you as an equal.
This NHS worship turns my stomach.
Same here. Plus said supermarket also announced on Twitter that they were going to extend discount to teachers.
Hot off the heels of the teachers’ union demanding that the schools shut, you can imagine that proposal went down like a lead balloon.
What makes them special? Are they not being paid for a job that they’ve been contracted to do? Personally I would rather the discounts & special shopping hours be given to cleaners, bin men, delivery drivers.
So would I!
i’d rather discount to all those who have lost their jobs and livelihoods uneccessarily due to the government’s incompetent in managing the economy!
Agree. What’s galling with the discounts for the NHS workers & teachers is that someone else is actually paying for the difference which means the rest of us.
Yep.
The only ‘good’ thing, which they don’t grasp yet, of course, is that they and all civil servants and final salary pensioners will jump from their current position at the top of the food chain to the one at the very bottom immediately after the catastrophes have occurred, for at least a generation.
German Civil servants and retirees were back and stayed in the poorhouse from 1945 to 1975.
this is the COVID equivalent of Danegeld. Ransom to the thugs who wield the power (even with a ‘Conservative’ government). Expect we’ll still be raped and pillaged for the collective kow tow.
Does this supermarket begin with M by any chance?
If you mean Morrisons, they have a banner outside our local which says exactly that i.e. they are giving discounts to our ‘hero’ teachers or some such drivel. MW
ALDI and Tesco are doing the same near us. I could use the system but I refuse as why should I have any special treatment because of the job I do? It made a certain sense back in March when people on shift couldn’t buy essentials as they had disappeared, but there’s absolutely no reason now. I have really hated the whole deification of the NHS over the past 9 months.
If anyone deserves special treatment it should be the delivery drivers who have worked throughout the pandemic on crap pay, crossing paths with 1000’s of people, ensuring the terrified middle classes can stay ‘safe’ at home. Teachers?!! You have got to be kidding.
Most definitely; unsung heroes
Didn’t someone describe lockdown as so that the rich middle classes can stay home while the working class go to work or something to that effect?
Lockdowns are middle class people hiding while working class people bring them things.
That’s the one, cheers!
Not a god comment. This is nothing to do with rich versus poor, young versus old or any such divisive groupings. If you must have groupings it is those who have common sense versus the rest. My experience is that those who are critical of the nonsense come from all walks of life and indeed I have often been surprised that totally contrary to my expectations some people have been very critical indeed. It is also very clear that the ranks of the sceptics are growing – people that I talk to when I am out and about are now much more openly critical of what the politicians are doing. We are moving in the right direction albeit more slowly than I would like, but at least there is now movement.
Strangely religious typo – third word should be “good”!
Spot on! There is no defining group of believers or non believers. The range of types across both camps cannot be easily categorised. What there is is two very polarised positions. There appears no middle ground on this crises. It’s similar to how the recent Brexit referendum played out.
Divide and rule.
Politicians with their guaranteed salaries are insulated against the poverty that many who’ve been made unemployed from lockdown are suddenly finding themselves in.
It absolutely is a class issue, especially in Italy where people are literally starving
Italian woman protests against lockdown which has destroyed her life and caused hunger for her and her child:

Bart is comparing the middle classes comfortably WFH while the workers supply their needs.
Whether they believe the nonsense is another matter.
Skeptics United. The latest entry to the Premier League. Need uniforms, boots, socks, logos.
i really hope more will be against getting the vaccine i want to travel and i wont get this vaccine .anyone else feel that way?
Completely agree. And I am a teacher myself. As such I am lucky enough to have not lost my job and I consider it my responsibility to be in school, teaching. The attempts by the unions to further terrify an entire generation of kids and deprive them of learning and being with friends is shameful.
Hat off to you Danny.
Blunt this may be, but working as a healthcare professional does not make you ‘brave’. The risks are a known quantity when you embark on a career in the health sector – dealing with the ill, the sick and the dying. This hero worship of people doing the job they chose really needs to be put into some perspective. Someone working in close contact with lepers in a leprosy colony, such as past missionaries was brave and self sacrificial, a soldier defying gun fire to save a colleague is brave, diving into a cold river to save someone’s life at risk of your own is brave, if we continue to abuse the definition of words such as ‘brave’, what words are left for those who truly meet the real definition.
When I came back from overseas after 2 tours with a nice C PTSD and minus 3 of my best friends nobody told me I can jump a queue at a supermarket, or gave me any discounts. Nobody even noticed besides our neibhourghs student daughter who told me one day at a barbecue that I disgusts her as I went there to kill innocents ( apparently she learned that at Warwick Uni). Besides that there was no adulation , no clapping , no Save our forces campaigns, no adverts. That is why I refused to clap when this whole thing kicked off..Ok I lie, I did it once for my daughter as it meant a lot to her. I would clap for all the other people, the supermarket workers, the postmen, the milkman, the cleaners etc who went to work every day during this Plandemic and got ZERO acknowledgment.
So true. Why have we made saints of those who are doing their job, having willingly signed up for it. Soldiers can and frequently are heroes – NHS staff get full pay, will get a full pension I to am very grateful for all the UNSUNG people like you mentioned who have been quietly getting on with it keepin the country going.
Totally agree. NHS workers signed up for working with the old, the ill and the dying. They are getting their full pay, will have a decent pension and have a secure job. On the other hand the business owners who have been criminally sacrificed to the behemoth that is the NHS are being metaphorically crucified. I agree with the examples you give of heroism – NHS workers don’t qualify
And presumably they are all jumping the queue in clothes that have spent several hours in hospitals and are, thereby, shedding virus all over the supermarket.
I hate this faux favouritism virtue signalling bullshit.
I watched a fat sunburned twatt of a woman jump a huge queue outside my Waitrose back in May and try to blag her way in with her stupid ID card. The security were checking her out as they had watched her when she arrived in her car and checked out her ID very carefully.
I honestly couldn’t believe the sheer front of the woman.
The cheek.
I would never do that even if I did have a pass that would allow queue jumping.
Mrs 2-6 can show her carers pass id thing and jump queues but she would dream of trying to use that “privileged”.
Slow clap them when they jump the queue.
I’ve always been suspicious of the notion that certain professions are more “virtuous” than others and should therefore be given privileged treatment. When there was still a coal mining industry some people said “It’s a tough job, they deserve high pay”. Similar things were said about nurses. But if you try to grade all professions according to presumed virtue it becomes absurd.
Yes special high rates….I’d charge them 50% extra and tell them to start doing the job they are bloody paid for
Good for you. They have attempted to brainwash the entire country into almost worshipping the monolithic monster that is the NHS.. “Save the NHS”. They get billions for treating us and waste billions on inefficient management, expensive drugs, unnecessary cosmetic surgery etc. Your business and thousands like you, run by get up and go people has been ignored and bypassed by public servants on full pay, with no initiative, looking forward to index linked pensions, whereas you have to make your own. It’s more than iniquitous, it’s criminal. And Vallance Whitty Johnson and Hancock are just the front four of this mob. You, on the other hand, are the lifeblood of this country and I am so sorry and angry for you .
Bojo self isolating: If I was mean spirited, l might say: “how convenient”
IF?
All together now:”AND SO SAY ALL OF US!!!!”
PS: AND ALL THE EXPERTS AND ADVISERS AND MOST OF ALL, THE COLLABORATORS, SHEEP AND MASKATEERS.
Been said many times by Daily Mail commenters.
Yes, just issuing the same old lies via the WhatsApp group and then going into hiding. He must know by now that test & trace and the vaccine are not going to “save us”, not least because we don’t need to be saved.
He also knows that documented cases of reinfection are rarer than hen’s teeth.
However he is going to perpetuate the lie and keep us in prison until 2nd December at the earliest.
Sir Graham, how many letters are in the drawer so far? Hopefully many more will arrive early this week now we know Bojo lets his 32 year old fiancée have more say that backbenchers or indeed cabinet.
What a fool of an excuse for a PM.
How much longer will the “Sheep, etc” believe an argument that the government has clearly lost?
At the same time the NHS is advertising for people who have had covid to donate blood plasma, boris qualifies to be a donor and so he can donate plasma to help others while self isolating himself? Is there no opposition to all this madness?
Don’t believe him. Bet this is to take the heat off Alexandra (aka Princess NutNuts – did I get that right?) and Rasputin.
Who the hell as ever believed him?
You’d be surprised.

I’ll happily volunteer to help Johnson ‘self-isolate’. I’ll pop round to No. 10 with some bricks and mortar and carry out a little re-creation of The Cask Of Amontillado. And, as each brick is laid, I promise you (Scout’s Honour) that I’ll take no pleasure at all in his piteous cries of “For the love of God, Montresor!”. Chin chin.
Enjoy the Sherry.
I picked up some furniture from Ikea over the weekend. Closing the store greatly improved the Ikea experience. Instead of having to walk all the way through the route only to find the shelf empty, I ordered online and someone brought the packs to my car. So plus one for lockdown.
But there were more than 15 people there, and the idea that buying pre-packed crap is essential and baptisms are illegal is chilling and wrong. This legislation is evil.
I’m an atheist and I love shopping. And I profoundly agree with you.
People WANT to be asleep.
They don’t WANT to have to THINK.
They want the news to tell them what to do next and what to be outraged about. So they can commiserate with their coworkers and feel like they’re apart of a group.
They want to go out every month or so and see a movie in theaters.
They want to scroll their news feeds and find things to agree with.
They want to be sedentary, fed and in a comatose.
Critical thinking is hard and to be fair, the large majority lack the intelligence and awareness to objectively pick apart historical/current events.
That is why, the youth is the answer. They always have been. That’s why the media has thrown EVERYTHING in their arsenal to manipulate them.
The youth are the only ones (realistically) that are actually living and paying attention. The sad part is, they’re too naive/ignorant to really use deductive reasoning properly. Also they’re PUMPED with hormones.
They’re the only ones WILLING to overthrow ANYTHING! They aren’t invested into society. They are the keys.
There are few my kids know who will rebel – their whole lives thus far have been in a virtue-signalling cloud of brain-washed nonsense fed to them by teachers, who are young enough to have had the same done to them.
This young cohort are very difficult to persuade that it is their job to rebel and fight against the system.
The millenials are far gone – from my experience they’re more likely to believe in the propaganda and have been ruthlessly conformist with following the rules but its the ones after them who seem to be more sceptical and are seemingly more likely to push back,
Rushi Sunak reported in the Mail as considering charging motorists £1.50 per mile to cover the loss of £40billion in fuel tax as johnson nudges us towards electric cars.
All part of the Reset or do they just want the money?
It will, of course, have no greater impact on those who choose to drive gas guzzling SUVs rather than compact hybrids or indeed electric vehicles.
That’s insane. To pay that much in fuel duty at present you’d need to have a car which only did about two miles to the gallon. Pre-corona, my wife and I commuted together in our car, driving about 50 miles a day. That costs us about £5. Sunak would have us pay £75 to do the same journey. Since it’s not possible to get to work on public transport from here (at least not if you want to work sane hours) that would make it impractical for us to continue working unless we could continue to work from home.
Well you have to remember that one of the primary objectives of government policy over the next few years will have to be finding ways to massively fleece us all, over and above the fleecing that routinely takes place or just replacing any additional losses in revenue due to other panic policies such as forcing an over rapid change from petrol and diesel to electric, to recover the money they’ve splurged to assuage their own panic over this new cold virus.
Never forget. Never forgive.
And remember that applies to both the government who did it to us and the Labour “opposition” who wanted to do worse.
I think your concluding sentence might rather be the point.
Practical thinking is not his forte. It’s too complicated for his muddled brain.
Remember the reports thatSunak was going to resign if there was a second round of house arrest while in reality, he extended furlough, one of the main things underpinning the whole scam. Sunak is just as culpable as De Piffle Johnson.
We have all seen those purple plastic pipes they have been laying beside the motorways. Ever wondered what they are for?
They are so that they can support a network of RFID sensors above the roadway that detects your vehicles RFID tag as you pass. This is to enable pay per mile charging.
The next step is for the Tories to literally sell off the motorway network. Ker ching!
Also those blue cameras that are everywhere else. That’s the “Road Angel” network. This uses numberplate recognition to “monitor trafic levels” at the moment…However this network can be used to again base a pay per mile charging system on.
Oh yes they will scrap road tax, hurray say all the motorists…..
How people will moan once payback time comes.
They have been completely scammed by the establishment for years, theres nothing emergency about their introduction.
Wait until you find out about his capital gains and wealth tax plans. 33 million cars x 10,000 miles x £1.50 = 495 billion (thousand million) so some maths issues there.
Sunak is a dangerous idiot.
The word proportionality keeps coming to mind: the entire government strategy to date,and for the foreseeable future, is disproportionate, based as it is, on sloganising,mass manipulation, suppression of informed dissent, denial of informed consent, doom laden forecasts based on dodgy data and repudiation and ostracism of dissenting experts.
How can a supposedly mature democracy continue to promote this increasingly shaky agenda?
The chaos now unfolding at no 10, reflects the shoddy lack of conviction and integrity amongst our establishment members, both in the media, the government and the various affluent members of the so called chumocracy.
Are gagging , widespread anomie and repression likely to maintain the trust of the hitherto gullible and compliant public indefinitely?
And how exactly does no 10 expect to deal with the finalising of the Brexit negotiations, particularly the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol, the SNP’s apparent mastery of the propaganda war, the looming recession and the mass redundancies?
Boris is floundering, rudderless and Carrieified.
“The word proportionality keeps coming to mind: the entire government strategy to date,and for the foreseeable future, is disproportionate, based as it is, on sloganising,mass manipulation, suppression of informed dissent, denial of informed consent, doom laden forecasts based on dodgy data and repudiation and ostracism of dissenting experts.”
Never forget. Never forgive.
When you have Sir Graham Brady saying in effect that if these measures were introduced in a totalitarian regime we would condemn them as evil, it’s about time Johnson, et al sat up and took notice. I will never, as long as I live, forget what has been done to us in the name of “controlling the virus” “save the NHS” etc. These are slogans for a country under the rule of a tyrant – the country that we have become, without our consent and against our will. Forget – forgive- never.
Boris Johnson ‘said partner would be angry’
https://mol.im/a/8951629
”But a number10 figure claimed Miss Symonds ‘bombards’ (Mr Johnson) with texts and everyone in Downing Street knows about their rows.
I used to get angry with him for letting her get away with it, but now I just feel sorry. He looks very unhappy. It is as though she has taken him hostage. It cannot go on because it is terrible for our country”
Yes, she definitely has him by the short and curlies. I posted my concerns yesterday that she may be high maintenance.
I know from personal experience how this type of person (man or woman) works. They go after their prey, all sweetness and light. Once the prey is captured, the captor turns into a demanding monster, becomes pregnant or ensures that their partner becomes pregnant, creates a child who can be used as a bargaining tool and rules their victim by threats and text messages.
If Bozo walks away from Carrie and their baby now, he will be accused of being a heartless beast. If he does not, she will continue to wield power over him without being elected.
This will not end well for the country or for Bozo. More fool him.
My thoughts exactly: the speedy conception and pregnancy , following yet another instance of Boris’s wandering willy exploits seemed to me to be a hook with which to ensure control and demand for the long term.
A classic power grab.
Boris has now lost the little credibility he had back in the day.
Boris’s Wandering Willy. The Wanderer and his Willy Shadow.
See also Meghan.
Pig Dictator and Princess Nut Nuts are both full-blown NPD. They deserve each other.
But he is a heartless beast. Character is destiny, and this is where his character is leading us.
This to me reeks of Harry and Meghan Part 2. Both men are trapped and are reaping what they’ve sown.
Classic Lady Macbeth stuff.
A dawning, terrible realisation, not least for me since March is that the NHS kills or damages people either through sins of omission or sins of commission.
I read a post on a local ‘Live’ page from a current nurse who said that, far from having a right to treatment from the NHS because they had paid into it for 50 or more years (my father since the day it began), old people had used up all their credits and should expect to be sacrificed for the feckless and obese who had never worked in their lives, and for recent entrants to the country.
That is the mindset that threw the elderly out of hospitals to infect others in care homes, is is now subjecting those left in care homes to inhuman incarceration. Meanwhile my father is terrified to attend hospital for tests into what may be bowel cancer because, at nearly 90, he believes that it will kill him. He’s more afraid of the hospital than the potential cancer, and he was married to a nurse for years.
I’m with your father I’m afraid, best of luck to both of you. NHS disabled my father with a lumbar puncture and then refused him treatment or respite while we rushed to convert his house because he had too much saved despite having paid in since the beginning and paid taxes for 70 years. They got my lecture about his having fought totalitarianism from Japan to USSR for 31 years in the Indian and then British armies. Made no difference of course but I felt a litttle better.
I once suggested to a Nurse that the NHS should adopt the philosophy of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners would only be paid if their patients remained healthy. This suggestion was greeted with horror.
But I’m afraid we have multiple systems in all areas of society that reward failure. If we could turn that around, that’s the kind of “reset” I could support.
It’s a monster totally out of control.
Having read up until the reader who kindly added the information that our dictator, sorry, leader has up her sleeve for Scotland in the coming weeks, makes me leave a comment.
She may give a reprieve to us on Christmas day by moving temporarily tier 4 down to tier 2. How extremely generous of her. Just in case anyone is unclear ( most of Scotland certainly is) on what the tiers this dictator dreamed up to punish us is, tier 4 is LOCKDOWN, there is no tier 5 as she decided on tier 0.
So for Christmas day the little stasi is allowing the Scots to have Christmas dinner outside, yes outside in groups of no more than 6, in Scotland, on the west coast of Scotland where the wind blows every time there is as storm somewhere over the Atlantic and as for the rain well, let’s leave it at that.
Now I know my fellow skeptics believe me but just in case here is tier 2 rules from our dictatorships website.
https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-protection-levels/pages/protection-level-2/
I can only hope this reader is wrong but somehow I don’t think so.
I’m dreading the next step up in the incarceration stakes, living,as I do, on the wet and windy West Coast; the current monsoon promises to be with us for some time yet.
Masks everywhere, zombies abound, Sturgeonising ad nauseam.
Are there any sceptical MPs (or MSPs) in Scotland, in any party?
My MP and MSP are both SNP extreme nutters who will hear no criticism whatsoever of their mad leader. Scotland has become a very evil dictatorship.
It really has. Utterly evil. Such a shame.
Agreed. Sir Graham Brady, Chairman of the 1922 Committee has said that if these measures were imposed under a totalitarian regime we would condemn them as evil. They are evil. Inhumane, despotic, tyrannical, heartless and totally evil and those who impose them are likewise evil. We praise those in Belarus who march against a totalitarian dictator – should we not be doing likewise?
No, unfortunately not.
I’ve challenged my MP by email recently, hoping that she, as a former consultant surgeon,would respond at least with some consideration of the many points raised: nothing.
I feel so sorry for you. Not sure who is worse, the Sturgeon or Johnson with his “we will give the virus an left and right hit” type of rhetoric. We all have tyrannical and totally useless leaders, being led by the nose by lying medicos and discredited scientists and the only way is a mass revolt and civil disobedience. And this is a 74 year grandmother advocating it. I live in the balmy south west of England and I’m expecting my Christmas to be a trip by car up to Dartmoor rather than seeing my granddaughters. No wonder the suicide rate is going through the roof sometimes I feel like driving off the local cliff
I wrote to my MP yesterday:
Dear Catherine,
Let me be clear, I do not think anyone should ever put false information up on the web but if people are prevented from discussing vaccine data or experiences this will give a false picture. Politicians have a completely unrealistic view. For example, last year Jon Ashworth wrote an editorial in The Times where he only gave a single example of “vaccine misinformation”:
“I’ve found posts from terrified parents asking for advice on how to make sure their newborn babies aren’t taken away from them shortly after birth to be vaccinated.”
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-government-can-t-just-blame-social-media-for-our-vaccination-crisis-cffq2bwhp
But, in fact, he did not understand what he was reading because the correspondents were almost certainly writing from the US where infants are given Hep B vaccine at birth. I wonder whether he cares about his own piece of vaccine misinformation – he did seem appalled that an infant should be vaccinated at birth and perhaps he should speak out further against this barbaric American practice. Perhaps he should be prosecuted for his own misinformation, I don’t know.
Meanwhile, Labour is indifferent to the “chumocracy” behind government contracts including presumably vaccine contracts.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/george-pascoe-watson-among-lobbyists-given-secret-access-to-covid-meetings-tzxkc0jkp
Or note the excellent editorial by Kamran Abbasi at BMJ: “Covid politicisation, “corruption” and the suppression of science”.
https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4425
I fear Labour have been so busy virtue signalling during the Covid episode that they have failed to do any useful or competent job as an opposition.
The cult of the immaculate vaccine deserves ridicule. We have no idea whether there will ever be a safe effective Covid vaccine and actually it seems very unlikely: the only certainty is the industry will clean us out with Labour helping by trying to suppress information and debate.
Excellent. It sums up the traps they will end up laying for themselves. To try and police misinformation is absolutely impossible.

Apologies for dumb technical legal question.
I think I remember reading, on here or elsewhere, that you can’t be arrested for breaking the current covid restrictions – e.g. not wearing a mask, or meeting at someone’s house. Is this correct?? Would Piers Corbyn agree?
If you can’t be arrested, how can you be fined (unless you want to be)? If you are stopped and questioned, can’t you just refuse to say anything, and eventually they have to let you go?
I’m sure there is probably a simple explanation here – probably that you can be arrested, at least if you persist in your actions – and would be grateful if anyone could cast some light on the proper procedures.
Incidentally, I understand that if you are driving a vehicle you are obliged to give a police officer your details, but am happy to be corrected on this.
My understanding is that the lockdown & facemask rules are Statutory Instruments (SIs) made under the Public Health Act, I think that you can be fined fro breaking the requirements of those statutory instruments. I think that people are getting arrested for public order offences which it is quite easy for the police to do.
The validity of the covid SIs made under the Public Health Act are being questioned.
Yes, that makes sense, and ties in with my current understanding.
But if you are in breach of one of the covid SIs and are challenged by a police officer and you simply refuse to say anything, what can the police officer do? Arrest you?
As I understand it, you have to identify yourself to any police officer reasonably suspecting the commission of a criminal offence by you, so you have to give name, address and DoB if asked (if you refuse, you will be arrested and hauled to the police station where steps will be taken to identify you by eg searching your wallet or other means). If you do give your details without being arrested in response to the requirement to do so, the officer can then give you a fixed penalty notice without arresting you. If you pay that, that’s the end of the matter (although the notice will show on a criminal record check for a time at least and may have consequences for eg getting a visa to the USA or other countries or certain job applications). If you don’t pay it or challenge it within the time allowed, it racks up as a fine and can be enforced as if it were a fine (possibly imprisonment, but only after a long process). If you challenge it within the time allowed, you may/will get summonsed to court to plead guilty or not guilty. If you plead guilty you will get fined (at a rate higher than the FPN) and that is enforceable as any other fine. If you plead not guilty you will be tried before the magistrates and may be found guilty (and then fined even more than if you had pled guilty) or found not guilty (end of story). The police don’t need to arrest you to start off the process with the issue of a FPN.
I didn’t think these FPN’s appeared on criminal record checks if you just paid up. If they do, that could be a big problem for some of us.
In Scotland, they show up on an enhanced criminal record check for a period of time. Situation in England probably similar. It depends what sort of check the checking authority is carrying out. For some jobs (eg working with children) it will be an enhanced check but the existence of the notice on your record would not necessarily rule you out but it would show up and then would depend on the relevance to the potential employer. For visa purposes for some countries, anything on your record could be problematic.
Thanks. Just did a quick bit of research. It seems that in England, FPNs would not be listed on a basic disclosure but can be added to an enhanced one at the discretion of the police. Apparently it’s unusual for them to do so, but in these strange times who knows.
Many thanks Gillian for such a comprehensive explanation.
Am I correct to infer that infringing the covid SIs constitutes a criminal – i.e. arrestable – offence?
no read the legislation, the word arrest does not appear anywhere in the text at all.
I think the regulations come under Civil Law, therefore you wouldn’t be committing a criminal offence.
That’s appalling!
I say the UK is a totalitarian shit hole
You are not committing a criminal offence, the SI under health legislation is not an act of parliament, and the penalties (FPN) are exactly the same type of penalties as parking tickets. They are enforced by fines. You cannot be arrested for any contravention of the SI. Police and various others ie Envirnomental officers, who are specifically employed to monitor compliance with health legisilation ie rats in the kitchen etc can issue FPN’s you never see the police enforcing restaurant cleanliness FPN’s do you. The FPN’s being isssued are under the same statute (not law) as the restaurant and other health checks.
Its utter bollocks. So yes if you are stopped in the street for walking too close etc by some snivelling PCSO, likewise COVID marshals what ever that means have no powers whatsoever. I believe that you are OK just to refuse to give details, they cant arrest you, carry copy of the SI on your phone MabelCow issued a link to it, then you will always be better informed than who ever is challenging you. Here is a link to the day to day management of health regulations which the government is using to enforce lockdown and all the other restrictions. Notice reason and proportionality is key to enforcement, his should be done at every stage, not flying in mob handed as the police insist on doing. The charges for not complying with the FPN are just a scale of increased payments. Cautions and or prosections are for serious breaches of the legislation ie causing mass food poisoning of customers, repeated breaches of advice ie rats in the bakery, even there they are more likely to shut you down with advice that to re open you must put it all in order then you can reopen etc than sending it to the CPS
https://www.tunbridgewells.gov.uk/environment/environmental-health-enforcement-policy
Many thanks iansn – as I’ve replied to Quernus below, doesn’t this mean that, in effect, if a police officer asks why you are not wearing a mask, and you simply say because I don’t want to, he can’t arrest you, and can’t compel you to give him your name and address so he can fine you.
So the law is unenforceable? You only get a fine if you want one? (or they trick you.)
Incidentally, you’re not related to ianess on the Speccie site are you?
Have a read of this thread in The Light written by a former police officer. We should all keep this close at hand. It sets out very clearly what the police obligations are, and what they have to do to comply with PACE, etc.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1327725769745952777.html
Great! Thanks.
Thanks, I think I saw an extract of this on this site – hence my question.
The way I’m reading this though, is that if a police officer asks why you are not wearing a mask, and you simply say because I don’t want to, he can’t arrest you, and can’t compel you to give him your name and address so he can fine you.
In which case fines are voluntary?
Adolf Johnson retreats to his bunker once more. How convenient.
Someone should do another Downfall parody about this.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/15/immune-systems-covid-19-politicians-virus
A somewhat confused article in the Guardian – acknowledges the body’s immune system and that the body does not retain substantial levels of antibodies after infection but can produce these if the virus in question reappears, but includes this bon mot:
“This suggests that vaccines may provide more potent, durable protection than natural infection.”
Isn’t it time we started calling these people “immunity deniers”?
Symptomatics in UK continues to decline. Decline started before lockdown – lockdown just slowed it a bit (presumably locking up 500,000 symptomatics 24 hours with their families would do that)

A fate worse than a fate worse than death as Captain Blackadder once opined
Was he ACTUALLY “pinged” by the app? Is this verifiable? Was he pinged on a personal or work phone? Are the people he has been in contact with now going to have to needlessly isolate? All valid questions.
Not the people he has been in contact with, just him and others in contact with Lee Anderson. He said he was contacted by test and trace, so maybe nothing to do with the app (if it’s not all a fantasy). The app wouldn’t tell you who the contact was anyway.
They phone you, though as I understand it they don’t tell you who the contact was so he probably found that out directly. Whether they really phoned him or not is hard to say – he’s hardly going to announce he is self isolating and admit that T&T didn’t work. I suppose if he is lying someone could check the phone records.
The numbers they use to call you are on public record and can be pre-blocked easily on an iPhone
a lot of people have given the No 10 switchboard number as their contact number 🙂
He could have a test and be back at work in no time. Definitely a sham.
now that he’s out of a job the Donald might try to get your ones job off ‘ve him..if you are lucky (or do I mean unlucky who knows).. he’s been trying to get Angie’s job off’ve her….

Messalina Nut Nuts.
While I am not in favour of rejecting JHB’s support for the anti-lockdown cause on the basis that she is not ‘all in’, she is driving me insane this morning. Banging on about lack of social distancing at Downing Street being the problem. Oh christ! Heneghan seems to be going along with this – apparently they should have been using Zoom. Shoot me now.
agree
it’s sad to see
he’s part of the problem in my opinion these scientists just can not see the woods for the trees
He has been consistent from early on in quietly and systematically debunking a huge part of what SAGE and the government have come out with, and has written very strongly, often, to criticise the approach. That doesn’t seem like being “part of the problem” to me.
He was prattling on about testing, testing, testing when I last heard him a couple of months ago. Not sure if he dare fully challenge the narrative.
Me neither. She’s nowhere near as smart as she thinks she is.
I fear that if Heneghan is man down, then it’s all immatieral.
He has been very cautious from the start, and stuck to his specialty. Whether that’s by inclination or because he doesn’t want to get attacked or defunded or accused of playing politics, we don’t know.
Indeed. But I didn’t think I’d hear him talking about extending school holidays, or, at this point, that work should be done via zoom – he used to be very clear that life could and should go on as normally as possible (or at least that’s what I understood him to say). I do think he’s falling into line increasingly, whatever the reason.
And this is why the world is heading towards totalitarianism. Because scientists have abandoned science to protect their funding.
Their funding might make things less unpleasant for a while in a dystopia. Until it runs out
“world is heading towards totalitarianism”
Indeed, so we need to support all those who are working to repeal the CV Act and bring this so-called government to heel.
It’s not heading towards totalitarianism – look at our lack of freedom – we are there already
Just heard a replay of what Heneghan said. He said Boris set the rules and he has to abide by the rules – it is nothing to do with science and logic and everything to do with PR and staying on message.
That’s more like it. I only heard the first couple of minutes, so perhaps I was being unduly pessimistic
That’s a relief! Thanks.
She’s controlled opposition. A Quisling. I don’t trust him either. Just my humble opinion

I do fear for my future with no travel to look forward to. At the moment my principles will win, but not sure for how long. I long to see the other parts of the world, and share experiences with my OH and kids. It’s what we work for – nothing else comes close. We collect memories, not stuff.
That freedom will not return after taking a vaccine. The only way it returns is when those who have done this to us are held to account.
Note to editors: baptism is not only for babies.
Isn’t a baptism central to the Catholic faith? Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Baptism is central to all Christians. Christ’s final command was to make disciples of all nations and baptise. It is the sine qua non of Christianity.
Shielding from the media whilst the establishment jostles to bring in totalitarianism via Keir Starmer
I recently had my seasonal ‘flu jab encountering my local GP Surgery looking more like an episode of Chernobyl, and I hope that in a year’s time that picture will have been replaced by the same warmer welcome of 2019. I am not anticipating a Covid-19 vaccine in the near future be it one at minus 70 Centigrade or the more usual stuff becuse the race to be first tese days does not often mean the winner is the best. The latest Test’n’Trace debacle has confirmed to me what a disaster we have made of the NHS and public health matters in the last decade or so and that is where the good money needs to go if we are not going to keep repeating this farce annually..
This Government has squandered the trust of the people in the same way that Gordon Brown squandered the pensions.
I suspect politicians the world over are being bribed, coerced or blackmailed by whoever is issuing orders for governments to lockdown and impose restrictions. Only Belarus said ‘No’
Belarus said No to The World Bank.
Check out the latest statements from Christine Lagarde.
after a very depressing morning read of the news, this article cheered me up somewhat. This should be done everywhere to all zealot MPs.
and from hairdressers, churches, corner shops, gyms, etc we can isolate him from all human contact till the end of his days
Don’t just do that. Hound him – you can find out his email and email him/her and any other MP you like,. Bolster the 39 who opposed the second lockdown and harass the others. Try to make their lives the hell that they think fit to inflict on the rest of us
Totally agree. Ostracise every single one of the monsters. Treat them like the pariahs that they are.
And their families as well. See how they like it.
Now to make it clear I don’t believe in collective punishment but since what they’re inflicting on us is collective punishment then their spouses and kiddies should carry the can as well to see how their insane diktats have inflicted damage on people and the economy.
Refuse them food at the grocers, the bakeries, etc. Haggis every day for Sturgeon.
Find out their email (they’re not worth a stamp). mail them, harass them, and email the ones who are anti lockdown to bolster them. It only takes a minute.
So, Boris the butcher’s dog has come within sniffing distance of someone who has had the crap snot test.
Who else is infected in the Downing Street plague-pit? No wonder the rats have baled out.
Will the pig dictators latest mistress have to isolate?
Whilst I realise that this particular self isolation period is very convenient for Boris, I do think that all MP’s and their family should be PCR tested at least twice a week. Only when the the stupidity and inconvenience of false positives affects them and their loved ones will they do something about it.
They should be made to live in a bubble like the elite sports people and TV show casts – away from their families
And extracurriculars!
I`m a politician – get me out of here!
I think politicians, civil servants, high profile journalists, Jacinda Ardern, Jeremy Corbyn et al are exempt from PCR testing
The tests are for the plebs
They should all do one day a week as Covid Wombles.
Yeah, down their throats and up their hooters.
The brave boys in blue wear Black. A paramilitary black seemingly influenced by terrorism, contrary to what the politicians say, terrorism has changed our way of life. The boys in blue flare their trousers over the top of their boots, they display a greyed out version of the union flag. With the current attacks on rights and freedoms it is curious the boys in blue now dress in a fashion influenced by terrorism.
Boys in blue is no longer an appropriate term of description. Simply put yourself in the mind of a victim of crime and then encounter one of these black-uniformed people it is not a confidence giving impression. The uniform is there to intimidate it does not lend respect to the wearers who often hide their hands in their pockets or behind their plate vests.
Black was de rigueur for the SS
Brownshirts
Not helped by also wearing muzzles even in the great outdoors.
Every time I see them, I cross the street to avoid them.
And hide their ID numbers behind their strategically placed phones.
Agree it’s very odd. No politician has ever seems to raise this issue. The uniforms changed very rapidly about 10 or 20 years ago in the name of “practicality”. The stab vests and all the rest of it could easily be concealed behind normal clothes, not worn like a badge of honour.
They’ve locked themselves in the bunker and won’t come out, or talk to anyone
Victory is ours
Just the tidying up now
To all those who would ban vaccine dissent and support adherence to the government line, I will say one thing – weapons of mass destruction.
Indeed. As Peter Hitchens wrote last weekend:
If Watergate happened today, Nixon would get away with it. If WMD were alleged today, you’d never know they didn’t exist.
So true. Journalists used to be able to investigate and publish without being censored
Not sure if you can see this piece from the WSJ:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-covid-surge-u-s-restrictions-11605466754?mod=hp_lead_pos1
If you can’t then this quote will give you the gist of it:
“Now, it is everywhere. People are becoming infected not just at big gatherings, but when they let their guard down, such as by not wearing a mask, while going about their daily routines or in smaller social settings that they thought of as safe—often among their own families or trusted friends.”
Add to this the Boris news, in which his group were put at risk despite the precautions.
And overnight, the two of Biden’s top Covid advisors stated:
“If we just lock down the entire country without targeting our efforts, then we are going to exacerbate the ‘pandemic fatigue’ people are feeling, you’re going to hurt jobs and the economy…”
I sense we are getting to the point where there is little that can be done to practically stop this virus now. You would need to hide in a cave to halt the spread, and we are well past the point of any public willingness to do that, regardless of how many people it kills. So whether sceptic or zealot, aren’t we converging on the same place, namely a get-on-with-it fatalism?
Covid seems to be one big con, paving the way for many people with agenda’s.
“Seems” to be?!
Indeed.
We can’t stop viruses. It’s better to let them spread so immunity develops.
Do we stop living because people die? More people die globally from starvation and heart disease
We live with nature’s risks, as we’ve always done, or we imprison ourselves and stop living to stay alive
This is not ebola
“So whether sceptic or zealot, aren’t we converging on the same place, namely a get-on-with-it fatalism?”
FFS! Just think how many lives, how much past and future misery, could have been spared if the likes of the WSJ and the media/political elites it serves had been wise enough to recognise that reality nine months ago!
The WSJ’s editorial team are actually quite sceptical versus their newsroom. There was an internal coup of sorts recently there that is worth a read! Also, I’m not sure the article arrives at my conclusion, but the points it raised suggested there’s little worth in chasing this anymore. However, we will face the ‘we must redouble our efforts’ gang before we get to this state of helplessness (or enlightenment).
Pretty sure I have a WSJ subscription somewhere, but I’ve not been keeping up with viewing it. From what you write, perhaps I should have made more of an effort.
I’m perfectly happy for us to reach this point, as long as these people then step down and are never in positions to influence again. They failed the logic test.
Yes I agree, their route has killed hundreds of thousands in the process. Still, better get there than not at all?
Get-on-with-it fatalism is where the little old ladies were before lockdown 1.
Stop denying HCQ.
So we all need to come out, live life as it is meant to be lived, take our chance as we do every day in daily life, and realise that we have a minute chance of dying or being ill from this virus(why is it called now “the virus”? There are hundreds of viruses,) And before anyone asks, I’m over 70, so am supposed to be “vulnerable”
Hancock on Talk Radio soon
Shame, they haven’t arrested the bastard yet then.
BBC
On Thursday Mr Johnson spent about 35 minutes with Tory MP Lee Anderson, who lost his sense of taste the next day.
I beg to differ, I think Mt Anderson lost is sense of taste on Wednesday
This ‘lost of taste’ symptom should only appear after high temperature and feeling lousy.
Anderson then tested positive using a very unreliable test, that does not mean he has it. As the PM has been affected (T&T) Anderson should get further tests and symptom verification to confirm the Covid diagnosis
dePiffle should be tested!
Is it not the loss of taste a result of the immune system commandeering all the vitamin D?
There is no way Corbyn would have been worse than this joke of a man.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlGTrk2dLWc
I couldn’t have been more anti-Corbyn, for many reasons. However, he could not have been worse than PD. The bloated, overreaching state, debt, intrusion on liberty, dishonesty, etc etc. PD is worse than what I feared Corbyn would have been.
At a guess, Pig Dictator.
Pig Dictator?
Pernicious Disaster.
Pig Dictator. Thanks to Cecil B for the catchy moniker.
How did this man ever become prime minister ?
Gullible people voted for him.
I have no idea of the long term safety of any new vaccine.
I have no idea whether it will prevent very old people dying.
I have no idea whether it will prevent transmission.
But then neither do the makers of it.
But I do know that I should be able to ask why would I want a vaccine with an alleged 90% success in reducing mild symptoms of a virus to which 90% are immune.
Why would I want a vaccine for a virus that has killed only about 300 healthy people under 60?
Finally how can Starmer, a former human rights lawyer agitate to deny me the right to ask those questions?
The vaccines will be regular ‘updates’ for life, guaranteeing indefinite and secure profits for Pharma, and tied to immunity passports which will serve as a Chinese style social credit system of control
It’s about money and control
Looks like it.
Let us find ways to derail it.
So pro-vaccine misinformation is fine but anything that questions the necessity, efficacy or safety is not? Extremely disturbing.
Very, very sinister.
Spot on! I’m going to share your post with friends and family who are under the spell
Great post
‘Finally how can Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, agitate to deny me the right to ask those questions?
Because he’s a fraud. The United Nations Declaration on Human Rights is not as airtight as we think. Not well written either.
He has allegiance to the Trilateral Commission, a Rockefeller institution.
Don’t know what planet they are on, but their waffling sounds utterly ridiculous now. Every speech is filled with Nudge Unit repetitions
All working from the same script
Good choice of theme tune today. Doesn’t the chorus of Carrie go something like “Carrie doesn’t live here anymore”. if only Cliff were talking about Downing Street.
Imagine a Venn diagram of the world. Within the UK circle, we’d have a much smaller circle representing the NHS. By trying to protect/save that small circle, we’re causing immense damage to the larger UK circle without which the NHS circle could not even exist.
‘For 24 days I’ve been living next door to Carrie
Who the feck is Carrie’

They must think the British are a special kind of stupid with this second crack at Boris’ adventures with Covid-19 horse manure – and they would be right.
This is what happened the first time:
Boris Johnson’s big lie in, and lying; Part One
Boris Johnson’s big lie in, and lying; Part Two
This amongst other quotes caught my attention, “Could anyone read this and not understand that Johnson was in rude health, and also wonder if in fact he was in too good a shape to warrant being in intensive care?”
I noted more recently when the BBC was interviewing “COVID” admissions in Liverpool that one of the people they spoke to clearly wasn’t as “ill” as portrayed. Despite being on oxygen therapy the patient (an elderly gentleman) had a remarkable ability to speak lucidly without pausing to gasp for breath which caused me to remark that there doesn’t seem to be much wrong with him and his ability breath and talk at the same time.
That “we” chose war against coronavirus is a despicable piece of gaslighting to have us understand that “we” are responsible for the economic ruination of a lockdown. You are going to see more of this in the coming weeks.
Written on April 16th!
Bojo says he’s “as fit as a butcher’s dog”
To misquote Churchill: “Some butcher, some dog!”
Butcher dogs eat meat and bones. What will the Vegans say?
Even talk of a vaccine is playing to the Dr Evil’s
Have just started reading St Augustine’s City of God and this seems to be very apt in our current situation especially with those who simply go along because they want a quiet life and still believe the propaganda:
“They are not so afraid of the wicked as to yield to their villainous threat to the extent of committing crimes like theirs; but though they do not commit them they too often fail to reprehend them, for although they might perhaps convert some by such rebuke they fear that, if the attempt failed, their safety and reputation might be endangered or destroyed.”
And this I think can refer to the lockdownistas, mask zealots and zombies:
“And this is not due to prudence, nor is it because they see their reputation and safety as essential means whereby mankind may receive the benefit of instruction; it is rather due to weakness – because they delight in flattery and popularity and because they dread the judgement of the mob, and the torture or death of the body. In fact, they are constrained by self-interest, not by the obligations of charity.”
Stanley Milgram’s experiments come to mind
St Augustine was a very, very wise man.
Have you never seen a Disney film? It’s all those strings of sausages they steal.
He thinks the plebs all talk like they do in Mary Poppins and Eastenders and Only Fools and Horses… only very posh people these days shop at a butcher.
Yes, the modern equivalent would be “as fit as a gang member on steroids in a fully equipped state-of-the-art prison gym”.
Hancock says more people than ever are taking the flu vaccine. Because they reduced the Free vaccine age to 60.
So the fear porn worked did it?
Headline ness in Northern Ireland is that we are short 200,000 doses. Prepare for the worst.
Someone should let them know that flu was eradicated in March
EASY PROFIT!
Flu vaccines are triggering the PCR for even more “positives”… In the Plantation where I live they started the (profitable) FLU jab in Sept 28, see for yourself!
MORE “PANDEMIC” CASES… so they can go on testing the tools for the next operation.
W.C. Fields said that a sucker is born every minute. How right he was.
There are billions of those every year getting the flu jab!
Might Flu Shots Increase COVID-19 Pandemic Risk?
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/09/08/will-the-flu-shot-help-with-coronavirus.aspx
That is OLD! Since the 60’s 70’s we know (apparently we forgot!) that influenza artificial infections (vaccines) create the conditions for other viruses/bacteria to replicate.
There are plenty of that going around
“Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel during the 2017-2018 influenza season”
See table 5
Many of these bacteria are capable of mutating. So what’s the point?
What’s the point of what?!
How can he claim that it’s free? Who paid for it?
Surely to god letters must be going to Graham Brady?
What the actual fuck is Doris doing in isolation???? A very convenient way for him to again hide from scrutiny. What a complete tosser
So, is Johnson going to have a sun-cult symbolic resurrection at the Winter Solstice like he did at Ishtar? That would be right in your faces, and you people still wouldn’t get it.
Boris Johnson’s big lie in, and lying; Part One
Covid-19 as a modern day variant of an antique technocratic control device
excellent, thanks
One can’t help but wonder if Johnson had been at Chequers the entire time.
Please please please god wake us all up from this never ending nightmare.
Yes are lives are being destroyed for no reason.
and businesses and jobs
I feel exactly the same, but it is amazing the amount of people who seem unfazed by it all. My sister said to me yesterday, ‘stop getting wound up, we both have a nice houses and food on the table”. So that makes what this lying evil government are doing ok then!?, what about the people who no longer have or certainly won’t have much longer?. I have to keep my distance from people who I would really like to punch.
I notice that Hancock has changed the narrative back to number of “cases” from hospital admissions, and picks a single day’s results to illustrate a rise.
The prime minister is isolating for a fortnight even though he feels as fit as a butcher’s dog. Two questions.
Can you have Covid and feel as fit as a butcher’s dog?
And if so what is the probability if you are in that condition that you can infect someone else.?
What’s the “science” on this? Is it all guess work?
I’d like to know because all year so far I’ve been feeling ticketyboo – I’d hate to think, maskless as I have been, I’ve been infecting people.
We’re witnessing a PCR test pandemic or casedemic. Stop the PCR tests and life returns to normal
A PCR/SNOT fake pandemic planned (last training) in Oct2019 in New York, and execute masterfully via Bill Gates controlled WHO…
And the fun part… it is working! The herd of modern moron slaves really believe ALL this garbage.
Just look at them wearing muzzles, and self-isolating and all the rest of the nonsense…
The always present factor for ALL these past fake pandemics is that they always use “pneumonia”!
There isn’t any science, Ned. They assume that asymptomatic transmission is possible. Precautionary principle again.
Thank you for that.
I’ve just read the first piece above and it does say:-
“Even if a patient is a-symptomatic, they may still be able to pass on the virus to people they are in close contact with.”
But is that just an assumption. How would they know? Does someone turn up at hospital with the disease and say:
“Don’t know how I got this – I haven’t been out the house for month. Ethel’s the other only person in the house, she goes out for the shopping, but she’s been fine.”
Ergo Ethel picked it up going shopping but she’s asymptomatic and has passed it on. Proof! But would it be? It could have been picked up from the half pound of pork sausages she brought back.
Then there’s that sub-clause “close contact” – can that be just brushing shoulders with someone as you pass in to the supermarket?
Yes, Ned. It’s an assumption. Dr Claire Craig hasn’t been able to find anything in the literature to support the idea, other than a few studies from early on in China.
But he is supposed to have had the “disease” and would be immune.
He doesn’t claim to have covid. He’s been near someone who got a positive test and conveniently claims he needs to quarantine.
Why hasn’t dePiffle taken a test?!
Seems, you can fool parliament all of the time
ALL ARE WELCOME!
Tasteless is to kind a word for this montage.
Do not worry… You’ll taste it.
Did he call Professor Carl Heneghan, a general practitioner physician, director of the University of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, and a Fellow of Kellogg College (He is also Editor-in-Chief of BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine) – a liar? Or did he just the evidence based scientist is wrong?
I think he said outlier. But that was the implication.
Surely Sir Carl will come back on that later?
Galileo was an outlier as well.
Outlier. Liar. Matt’s the Outlying Liar.

Pish – who needs evidence
Origin of “As Fit as a Butcher’s Dog”
The phrase “as fit as a butcher’s dog” originated from A Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant and Vulgar Words written by John Camden Hotten. It was published in 1859. Hotten states that this simile is often applied to married men. In the past, however, it meant that there is a something very close to a person, but he has no access to it exactly like a butcher’s dog that cannot touch the beef though it can eat scraps if allowed.
Received form a friend, an interesting read about the whys behind everything that is going on from a bit different perspective.
Forgot the link:
https://maalamalama.com/wordpress/real-reasons-behind-global-pandemic-lockdown-/28/04/skwealthacademy
….My belief is that the real reasons behind the global pandemic lockdown was a global coordinate effort to instill mass learned helplessness among the vast majority of populations worldwide.
….. later studies revealed that a subject’s hopelessness did not result from his or her feeling of powerlessness but resulted from the combination of an exposure to aversive stimuli AND the lack of control over one’s situation. Consequently, it should be easy to understand how our prolonged exposure to aversive stimuli (a viral pandemic that is exaggerated for its severity among healthy populations) combined with a lack of control over this situation (implemented lockdown measures for everyone that amounted to prolonged house arrest for billions around the world) will instill conditions of mass learned helplessness around the world….
Catching Covid in Hospital? It’s long been the fact that the quickest way to get an infection is a stay in hospital, they are breeding grounds for loads of bugs (C.dif, MRSA, VRE, CRE, CRKP etc…). If you do need hospital treatment the secret is to get out of there as soon as your treatment is done.
Very wise

Help please – on the 14th I had a conversation here with someone who pointed out that Dominic Cummings had not been defenestrated or thrown out of a window, and that choice of words is very important, and then we discussed climate change.
I’ve tried using control f but not found it. I want to recontact that person, he had his own website. Can someone help me out?
The point is that language is very important – or anyone else who is interested in this aspect?
I think that was with Steve Hayes, if you mean the exchange here:

So, start at the top and do the search. If you do not find, what you are loooking for, then go right to the bottom where the next page of comments will appear and so on.
Thanks, that’s it – it was Steve Hayes. I’ve gone into his Blog here https://www.blogger.com/profile/03248828744039419832
And here https://viewsandstories.blogspot.com/2017/09/climate-change-is-pseudoscience.html
but is there a way now to contact him through his blog?
There’s a need to talk to scientists about their methods – this has come via people connected to Fuellmich’s work – so that’s why this is important.
The Oxford dictionary gave the second meaning of defenestrated as one who has political power taken from them.If it was used in connection with Cummings then it was correct.
I prefer plain terms readily understood by everyone.
Agree Jonathan – that’s what we want. People who can convert complex legal and medical arguments into plain terms readily understood by anyone. Please join our team.

The word defenestration comes from an incident in Prague where a Hussite crowd threw a judge out of a window (“fenestre” in French). There were multiple defenestrations in Prague.
If you use this: https://www.panscepticon.org/ls/index.htm it’s easier to find as it loads the whole page at once so you don’t need to scroll down interminably before you can use ctrl+f
I did try that… either my fingers shake too much or smth, but thanks everyone.

as well as someone to set up a new website that is specifically to support Fuellmich and is user friendly to conspiracy theory-phobes.
While Micheal Bernicia’s work attracts people on one end of the ‘conspiracy theory’ spectrum, Fuellmich’s can appeal to conspiracy-phobes. That’s what we need, for people to be helped to understand that this stuff is wrong.
“continue to pummel covid into submission”
“follow the rules and beat it together”
Pretty clear just how far Johnson has fallen into becoming obsessive about “fighting” a disease rather than governing the country sensibly.
There is no hope of rationality on this topic without a change of leadership.
He hasn’t though has he? He’s either in on the great reset and/or vaccine $£$ scam. Or other motives. Or he’s pulled this way and that by such people because he is so indecisive and weak and out of touch.
I don’t believe for a moment that Johnson is in on any great reset, and I doubt that he’s motivated by bribery.
In relation to the former, it just doesn’t seem to fit with any of his past attitudes, even allowing for his dishonest posturing, and it’s much more likely imo when he does stuff that enables the “reset” and pc bollocks that he’s just being led about by the nose (or other parts of his anatomy), by manipulative lefties like his woman.
As for the latter, while he does seem to be hurting for money since getting into office, he wasn’t before, and he seems to me more the kind of person who doesn’t worry much about money as long s there’s plenty coming in. Not an obsessive pile-builder like, for instance, Blair. Direct bribery would be too risky even for Johnson, and the ind of indirect long term bribery that probably motivated Blair to some extent is probably outside Johnson’s scope of awareness.
It’s possible he’s motivated as Blair probably was by future personal gain, but seems to me functional stupidity adequately explains his behaviour.
Believe what you want, your integrity is obviously far greater than his.
It’s not about money with the likes of Boris, he’s there to persuade the people that they lives need to change , it’s for the good of the planet . It’s his moment of destiny.
we all know that it’s garbage but he is just a gullible fool who’s been brainwashed by very sophisticated operators.
I can believe he’s soft-witted enough to fall for the green nonsense, and also that he’s dishonest enough to pretend to if he thinks he can gain from doing so (whether it’s votes or sex).
I don’t believe he’s any kind of driving force for it though.
Didn’t Boris Johnson quote from one of Klaus Schwab’s books? In which case I’d say he’s in on the Great Reset
Build back better;he explained what he thought it meant,a green new deal.He’s also met Gates recently and referenced him in a number of speeches.Whatever is going on,Johnson is up to his neck in it.
Build , back better…this is the slogan of the Great Reset and Agenda 2030 is all about getting rid of normal cars and have EVERBODY on electric ones…so yeah…He is neck deep into this shit!
He’s been on it a whileAs mayor of London he made it that all new London taxis had to be electric by 2018.He also put gridlock causing cycle lanes everywhere.
And these traffic gridlocks pumps out much more pollution than the so-called ‘reduction’ by cyclists
Recycling has also declined steeply since lockdown.
Much easier to chuck stuff in the rubbish bin:
They should all be obliged to take tours around the areas in the city of London and elsewhere where their green deal programs were implemented to assess the damage. They sit in offices all day long and dream about new, stupid ideas.
They are nuts. Impractical. An impossible task.
Up to his neck in green slime.
Why else would he ponce around with Gates and the dodgy vaccine crowd?
He also mentioned the anti science of anti vaxxers in some recent speech. WEF?.
The first case of infection of Sars-Cov2 was 3rd Sept 2019 was found in a saved blood sample in a person from Venice region. This was one of the blood samples collected all over Italy since Sept 2019 as a part of lung cancer investigation. The person was most likely asymptomatic but had evidence of acute infection in form of IgM antibodies to Sars-Cov2. Where did he/she get it from? The time of infection must have been in late August. Venice, contact with China since Marco Polo, now in the form of a Chinese tourist? Maybe? Maybe not?
Astonishingly, already the day after in Emilia Romagna, another infection in a saved blood sample. In September alone, 23 infections in eight Italian regions, indicating a wide spread. However, these detailed information is not found in the abstract published on line below as the whole article was behind the paywall(the detailed information above is from one page in the whole article I got hold of, see below added picture). As earlier Sars Cov-2 virus in Barcelona Feb 2019 and Oct 2019 in Sao Poulo detected in sewage waste has been debunked, this must be the first detection of wide spread Sars-Cov 2 in Italy Aug-Sept several thousand miles from China.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0300891620974755
Unexpected detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the prepandemic period in Italy
The reaction in the Establishment of this possible scenario has been furious. The article was published in an obscure journal owned by one of the authors. It has not been properly peer reviewed before published. One of the angriest comments was from Prof Balloux, who has published the below article stating that the animal to human jump was in Wuhan Oct-Nov 2019 according to his investigation and genomic studies,
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1567134820301829
In a twitter thread he said that the result was probably cross reactions to other normal corona viruses
https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1328058413222400007
But the riposte came quick from an irreverent Dutch scientist calling Prof Balloux a stupid fool and he has obviously read the whole article according to this twitter thread. In fact, the Italian scientists have done lots of checking and there is no cross reactions with other corona viruses. His twitter thread is here mostly in English debunking Balloux’s objections.
https://twitter.com/hommel_b/status/1328067660471545856
Interesting to see what happens. Perhaps they are both correct. There was earlier in May a suggestion and hypothesis by two Israeli scientists ( I have lost the link but published in LD sceptics) that there were two competing strains of Sars Cov2,the first wide spread milder earlier and replaced by the later more serious Wuhan strain.
One cannot declare that!
We only know that this new piece of RNA was detected on that sample! Do you have older samples to make the same “test”?
This piece of RNA can have a decade or more of existence but we “found it” only now…
I think the paper is talking about the detection of Covid specific antibodies, not RNA.
There are NO specific “covid” antibodies…
They are referring to RNA “SARS-CoV-2″…
No they’re not:
‘The person was most likely asymptomatic but had evidence of acute infection in form of IgM antibodies to Sars-Cov2’.
Of course there are Covid specific antibodies. There is a possibility that the testing methods detected antibodies which react against Covid proteins (but weren’t produced in response to Covid) but there will always be these sorts of anomalies in any antibody test.
By the way, when I say Covid I mean Sars-Cov2 – just couldn’t be bothered type the full name in.
When they write “SARS-CoV-2” that’s a reference to RNA! What do you “think” label “SARS-CoV-2” refers to in this scam? A piece of cheese?!
If an organism generates antibodies it means it had contact with either RNA or DNA. In this case RNA.
Oh! That’s a first!
Can you tell us what are the scientific papers (from two different teams) where they demonstrated that RNA labelled “SARS-CoV-2” is an infectious viral particle, capable of causing a disease (pneumonia) and eventually kill the [weak] host?
SARS-Cov-2 is the name given to the virus, it’s not a reference to RNA at all. The viruses genetic material is made up of ssRNA. When the virus infects someone the host can produce antibodies against the protein envelope of the virus (not the RNA within that envelope).
Any antibodies produced in response to this virus will be specific to the proteins of the envelope, in the same way that every antibody directed against every pathogen will be specific to that pathogen. There will however always be cross reactivity due to similarities across epitopes (the part of the protein to which the antibody is directed).
Look it up
Well… you do write a lot of fun stuff!
They’re specific BUT there are non-specific events… you just call it “cross reactivity”.
You keep assuming RNA (ssRNA) (mRNA) labelled “SARS-CoV-2” is a “new viral infectious particle”!
Happy dreams… Over and out! No more time to waste.
Anthony has explained that it was not PCR. There are people on this site who believe that Sars Cov+2 exists incl antibodies but that does not detract from the fact of overdiagnosis by defect PCR test and disproportinate response etc.This article is very interesting suggesting of spread well before it was detcted in western Europe.This would have very important consequences if this was true concerning the origin of the virus most likely from Yunnan area in China with possibly mild variants circulating.But this is not for covid-19 deniers.
Well… I never said is was about PCR.
So your entire comment it at the same level of the dogma “RNA labelled “SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of pneumonia (a special one!)”
And I read that paper before this fun swap of comments.
If the sample had the antibodies they claim are “specific” for “SARS-CoV-2” then the piece of RNA we label today as “SARS-CoV-2” was present on that organism causing the production of those antibodies.
That’s what I wrote… Use few words the 1st time?! Well… Why waste many with this nonsense?
So we have 5 possible reinfections out of a worldwide count of 55 million infections (Worldometer). They are almost certainly misdiagnoses and even if they aren’t that is essentially the same as saying it can’t happen, at least in any meaningful sense. Anyone who sets a policy that assumes that as a meaningful risk is an imbecile.
I expect you can get it again – like the other 4 coronaviruses – it will just be mild – like a cold. when we’ve all been exposed, it will just be annoying cold #5
Then either it doesn’t happen or if it does it isn’t noticeable. Either way it should have no bearing on policy. Unfortunately they don’t seem to be able to distinguish between being precautionary and paranoid, to all our cost.
Or it takes a year before you are susceptible again. I just can’t see an immune system bothering to create a lifelong immunity to something very mild. waste of resources
T Cells remember similar invaders and so lifelong immunity is possible I’d say
I don’t see why I keep getting colds then
Do you get the same variety each time though? There are many corona , rhino and adeno viruses.
Increase the Vitamin A/C/D!
But colds (with just very minor symptoms) in Winter is pretty normal… That’s all I have since 2007!
During Winter I take 2 grams (some times 3 during a day or two, when I feel the signs of immune system activation) Vit C every day (1 gram the rest of the seasons) with a multi-vitamins and mineral every two days…
No colds/flu/pneumonia… since 2007.
Do you don the nappy?
Apparently there are over 200 different cold viruses.
I’ve definitely had fewer colds as I’ve got older. The same goes my wife who used to be a primary school teacher in her 20s and was routinely bunged up at this time of year. Very romantic it was.
The scam is FUN…
For every single PCR chemical reaction with amplification we can have another one without amplification!
So when you say “55 million infections” I can guarantee that we have ZERO infections.
Isn’t this a GOOD SCAM/TOOL?
Talking things Covid is like arguing about the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin. We need to concentrate on ways to end lockdown and repeal the coronavirus act.
Michael O’Bernicia is using Common Law to end all the governmental corruption.

Thank you for the response. I came across lawfulrebel quite recently by way of UKColumn. We need everyone to support Michael O’Bernicia who is using Common Law to remove the Coronavirus Act and to have Hancock and others to face charges of genocide.

Looking around at the paucity of political talent, the sub mediocre apparatchiks and corrupt political influence peddlers it’s hardly surprising the country is in such a state of decline.
That acres of news print can be devoted to the shenanigans around a small group of intellectually vacant agenda mongers vying for the ear of the present moronic encumbent in no 10 to sway public policy , and yet none see the same game being played by a clique of globalist/pharma/globocap to sway global society is a demonstration of the total failure of the media and our wider political class to see beyond their very limited horizons. To see such would be to support “unsubstantiated conspiracy theories”, while we wait and listen attentively to the micro analysis of the political soap opera being used to distract the stupefied masses.
That the country has been unable to produce a governing body of stature is fundamentally shocking and a shaming testament to the corrupt and perverse manipulation of merit driven success overridden by the global power agendas over successive decades to produce delinquent and subservient national governments.
All countries around the word, save Belarus, are under occupation by the WEF et al
Carrie, Stanley, Starmer and Rishi and others all work for or worked for or have links to WEF Davos members e.g. Rockerfeller, Goldman…
Correct. Look I don’t want to sound crazy but it looks more and more like Carrie is basically an plant to control him.
If se was a plant to control him I don’t think she’d take it as far as having a baby by him.
DavidC
The media wants you to think that. I’ve no doubt all spouses influence politicians.
The establishment wants a tougher, more authoritian government, so they’re discrediting Johnson to justify a general election. I fear one will be called and Starmer will become the new Mussolini
From Human Rights lawyer to Mussolini 2.0. What a world!
She was desperate to get the SPAD role to Boris when he was Foreign Secretary. Apparently she lost out to Lee Cain. It does sound like she was targeting him.
Like Me-again Markle..
Exactly, you just need to start joining the dots to see the picture
Yes, and a lot of people wonder why Rees Mogg has been so quiet. His dad has relations with the Rothchilds. He started off his career in a Rothchild investment fund.
Mark Malloch Brown of Smartmatic also has these links..
The medical/health experts at Goldman Sachs.
He’s also a lying, lazy and incompetent cad. This looks staged to me. Either, to give him the cover to hide from making any decisions in the next couple of weeks and ride out the tsunami of bad press that is imminent on the Cummings/Cain vs Ms Carrie/Ms Allegra spat. Or, to promote the ‘we need to socially distance and wear masks even if we have had the vaccine or have had the disease already’. Neither will work. He is on his way out.
Boris Johnson is simply taking orders
He CHOOSES to take those orders – never forget that.
I feel rather downhearted this morning. My only sense of fun is that I hope De piffel is Isolating in a freezer. He has form for than.

This is all coming here.
What we need to do is have an organised way to make people aware of Reiner Fuellmich and his work. The factual lawyerly approach is what’s needed. Please get more urgent, day by day.
I’ve a small group of people who agree – and it links up to the concept of talking to people one at a time, carefully avoiding conspiracy theory triggers. Small local groups. Now we need a website that is not off-putting to sheepie.
Who agrees? If you like this concept then please contact me, as usual I’m to be found here as usual
https://www.beautyandthebeastlytruth.com/contact-us
I agree with that kind of sober approach.
We have got to keep persuading. I think we underestimate the number of scepics.
Ultimately though, it will be events that change people’s minds not arguments.
Right – the events are more likely to go our way if there is a groundswell of support for the legal actions being taken. Otherwise they could fall as flat as the BMJ editorial, or even turn into major violence.
There is no time to waste and we can’t sit around waiting for other people to do things for us. Everything is going the wrong way still.
Yep, you’re one of the heroes! Inspirational 🙂
I bet what you really wanted to do was bar him for stupidity? But alas having owned a business all custom is precious and teeth gritting is required.
That has to be true. A lot of shopkeepers will talk fluent zombie or fluent sceptic, as required in order to keep the customer.
My greengrocer lost my custom when he tried talking zombie to me. I expect his zombie customers are by far the more numerous, and even a courgette merchant gotta live.
Oh no! Corrupt politicians 🙁
Very disappointing
Wow!

Anyone noticed that the “fact checkers” appeared everywhere when the truth started coming out?
You mean the BBC “Inconvenient Fact Deniers”.

Has Boris got a serious drinking problem?
Wouldn’t be surprised.
yes. look at his girlfriend
I very much doubt it.
His drinks cabinet is probably his one well-stocked cabinet.
Has been rumoured – from around the time of the Carrie/Boris argument in their flat prior to election.
Johnson is simply following orders. Starmer wants more devastation
No he’s got a serious thinking problem.

Interesting but not sure you can credit labour with being truly concerned about cronyism- more that it’s the “other sides” cronyism and they’re wishing it to be labour cronies?

That Portuguese Court of Appeals ruling throws up some very real issues which could be applied to us here in the UK. And the scope of the decision could be tended to other spheres – such as unlawful removal of livelihood and unlawful refusal of non-Covid medical treatment.
Please join my team. We’ve 6 so far, here and in France and Germany trying to focus our strategy around this angle and connecting up to the grassroots

Regarding the Portuguese judgement requiring a doctor to diagnose SarsCov2 in addition to a positive PCR test, the attached document, released by our government on October 28th, said a similar thing. When the number of cycles required to confirm a positive PCR test is high, clinical history is also needed.
This should be front page news.
I think about the Luddites who attacked the new technology that planned to destroy their livelihoods.
The PCR test is destroying humanity. They should be scrapped
If those who have used the PCR test as one of their tools to terrorise the population are not held to account then they will just find another wrecking ball.

Genius really. Turn the world upside down for a cold.
Meanwhile.. no great reset for China.
Since China is the TEST ground for the tools to be deployed in Western “democracies” they are well ahead. So their reset started around 15 years ago…
I think their reset started with the communist revolution. First the get decades of abject poverty and starvation of millions while a small elite rules over them with an iron fist. Eventually they get ‘permitted’ to do something other then starve to death under the total control of that small elite.
I was just talking about the MODERN TOOLS that the deployment of the WWW and “SMART”phones Social Media 24/7 connection addiction allowed to be implemented…
Without these tools they couldn’t had pull this SCAM at this scale!
Just look at the previous attempt in 2007/8… A failed fake pandemic.
China already has its dystopian Social Credit System. Destined for us via Covid-Pass and Clear
They tested the systems with the help (tech and money) of the Western Corporations and now the SYSTEM are “DEPLOY READ”!
China is the model, hence the lack of recent bollocks.
Exactly. How many coal-fired power stations are they building again? While the rest of the world has net zero imposed on them..

Found this article in Pie Pony’s response to Harry Cole’s twitter message ‘the rules are the rules’ (find in Toby’s article above).
There is no Covid vaccine………
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1327805882063720448.html
I don’t think that’s true, I really don’t. There are vaccines and people ready to administer them.
I don’t think the thread is actually saying there is not a vaccine. He or she is saying that the vaccine is not as claimed by Pfizer et al.
Whoever has written the thread seems pretty knowledgeable and they do raise some reasonable points. They are probably being a little over-pessimistic though.
Oh there are vaccines. Just not for COVID19.
Exactly….
Off leafletting now in Wimbledon. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
A close friend has become suicidal because of lockdown. We are witnessing crimes against humanity.
The PCR tests, the forced isolation of those testing positive, the destruction of the economy and people’s livelihoods and ambitions, the trashing of civil liberties, the cancellation of medical treatment, the forced wearing of masks (especially on children) are crimes against humanity.
Life is not worth living anymore.
Don’t give up. There are people fighting this all over the world. I was listening to a couple of things on Youtube yesterday. I may have found the links here originally, but they’re worth repeating:

You’ll get a warm welcome from this SW19 resident.
Poor old Boris! Should have followed the rules and socially distanced, but didn’t, again… He can’t take a pcr test, as he knows it will detect virus fragments from the spring. A positive result when he’s clearly not infected (or the sixth person in the world to catch it twice) would undermine gov statistics and the legitimacy of everything he’s done! If they fudge the result and it’s negative, he’s just proved herd immunity through antibodies! And no Dom to rescue him! Wonderful!
excellent logic, go to the top of the class ! Love it
Brilliant!
Oh my god I can’t stop laughing at that WhatsApp message. Are we seriously meant to believe he sent that of his own volition? “THE RULES ARE THE RULES”, “IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT I FEEL FINE”, “NHS TEST AND TRACE IS IMPROVING”, “STOP THE SPREAD”. Could it hit any more buzzwords?
When I heard about this story yesterday I said oh that’s convenient, perhaps he’ll be in a coma and near death again, before making another miraculous recovery, then they can spin out a bunch of stories about how people are getting “reinfected” to keep this going until it’s time for the vaccine. Now it becomes even more ridiculous after reading that WhatsApp message.
How stupid do they think we are?
These ‘leaks’ are State broadcasts for propaganda. They do think we’re stupid
They’re mainly preaching to the ones who ARE stupid – usually identified as those muzzled up to the eyeballs out in the open air.
Did Carrie write it?
Very stupid.
All of this tracks back to political agendas , this fundamental issue cannot be avoided.
1,The primary causation event is when the WHO determines a “pandemic situation” arises.
2,Then each country , as signature to the IHR, is legally bound to implement it’s IPPP.
3,Paid for apparatchiks like Ferguson then create “modelling” to the “known” info.
4,This then determines what “level” of national response is applied.
In initiating event was the “outbreak” in China.
The Chinese medic institutes tried to “isolate” the pathogen/“virus” in early patients. The little round thing with lumps on the side couldn’t be found in several of the early cases but they determined that didn’t matter and announced it as the “virus”
This is what is being used as the base point for the whole scam.
Nobody knows if the round thing with lumps on has been in existence for ever , they have never looked for it before.
The “symptoms” are essentially undefined and cover almost anything – so far as case numbers are concerned.
5,The “pandemic” won’t be over until the WHO say so . Therefore the national govts have to keep
the circus running until they are told to stop.
Please visit the UN WHO international health regulations
Also GPMB report from Sept 19 page 38/39 :-“ a full system live exercise will be conducted before Sept 20”
Please look who gets paid by who , whole careers have been waiting for this moment and they are going to milk it for all it’s worth.
eg who’s in charge at the GPMB ? …. Fauci
All the SAGE “advisers” are heavily embedded with …. WHO , UN sustainability programs.
All influential bodies are funded by …..WHO , Gates Foundation
Check out the back story to these people. They are dangerous ideologs and their stupidity blinds them to reason.
The likes of Hancock/Boris , they are low grade middle management material who’ve been promoted way beyond their capabilities, why ? , to do the job they’ve been put there to do . They are arrogant enough to think they are chosen on merit. These people are servants of the agenda setters , and are dangerous to the rest of us .
Please read Boris’s speech to UN 74th council Sept 19
Also Hancock speech 2017 re 4th industrial revolution and praise for Schwab .
These people are gullible brainwashed idiots.
Ditto Labour , they think this is the “revolution” they’ve been waiting for.
The problem we have is that the political/state technocrat class think this “change , new normal” is inevitable and desirable. The fight between them is for who is going to be in charge at a nation level and thereby able to dictate national policy.
Not one of them , right down to local council level has any interest in slowing, much less changing direction or exposing the whole charade for the total nonsense that it is.
The only ones who may help are the Conserv backbenchers , and most of them will be compromised as well.
Have a great day.
Bill grates on me too.

I watched a docu drama on the Battle of the Somme last night. Gave a kind of comparison to whats happening at the moment. 25,000 young fit men died in the first hours of this attack, the brainfart of General Henry Rawlinson. In the end it killed more than a million. Compared with the current ‘pandemic’ where the average age of death is old than the national average age of death. That’s a perspective that people in government and health should be thinking about. The quote at the end was most apt for our current situation. “We are ghosts, in this game played by monkeys and organised by lunatics.” All of our so called leaders would have made perfect world war one generals, sitting in the back away from battle drinking and smoking and enjoying life as their charges on both sides were slaughtering each other. Rawlinson believed that there was no opposition left after 7 days of barrages. How wrong he was.
They died so we can hide .
Yes. My maternal great grandfather was one of those who died in the name of Tyneside Irish. His wife was left with three young children and turned to drink.
If you go to Betwys-y-coed, there is a memorial there, almost all the young and middle aged men who volunteered from the village died in a battle. That is real suffering. Whats happening now, globally, is as nothing compared to the suffering experienced in the two world wars, yet we been jailed by 3rd rate schoolboys. Im way beyond being angry now.
Mine too, they lived in Greenside, gt grandfather had 4 children died on the Somme

I understand your sentiments. But you’re wrong about the Generals. Read up how many actually died on the front line. I know it’s a cliche, and some might have been like this – but really it’s most unfair to many high ranking officers who suffered and fell along with their men.
WankSock also said in that JHB interview that “once we roll out the Virus” rather than “Once we roll out the vaccine”. Oops.

Oops – covid 21 anyone? As in the Canadian leaked document from about a month ago? (all of which has come true so far…)
Did JHB pick him up on it?
Fuck you Stamer, and fuck you Boris.
And yes, I do feel better now.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/11/16/boris-johnson-self-isolating-brexit-trade-deal-latest-news/ a very apt song came to mind after looking at that crap.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX4UvFE5f-c
According to broadcaster Sue Cooke’s Twitter, Handjob has just dismissed Carl Heneghan as an “outlier” on JHB’s radio programme.
Why is that I wonder?
Is it because Heneghan was responsible for getting 5377 deaths removed from the total back in August because everything was put down to Covid until that point.
Or maybe it was because he questioned the data behind Twitty and Unbalanced’s ‘not a prediction’ graph?
Perhaps it was Carl’s revelations about care homes or catching the disease in hospitals.
Whatever Carl Heneghan is, he is no longer an outlier.
Handjob, on the other hand is an out and out liar.
He is an outlier in the sense that he stands outside the group think of SAGE and Whitty and uses evidence rather than models. As an attempt to discredit it’s not even clever.
Yes he actually said to JHB that he didnt believe him and was asked if he was calling him a liar
A couple of months ago handjob was saying that Professor Heneghan was part of the wide group of experts that he consulted with with and had done so the day previously.
This was in response to a beeb journo querying whether he listened to sceptics ‘like Heneghan’.
My opinion is, he’s in denial of a holocaust which he’s helped to create and becoming, along with the rest of the guilty, increasingly desperate.
Hopefully that notice will get wet and unreadable
or it might get dirty! You wouldn’t want it to be unreadable due to mud, dust, etc. Best give it a quick wash with a hose. The precautionary principle.
The PM has never worked, that was done by Cummings. Not sure what he will be doing
Like Biden accidentally referring to his ‘voter fraud organisation’!
That is interesting. Near to us there is an open area, not a park, just a public open grassy space, no chairs, just an open area, fenced off with a low fence (easy to step over, it was put in place to stop ‘travellers’ a few years ago).
About a week ago notices appeared on the trees to the effect that if someone wished to use the space for an ‘event’ it was necessary to apply to the council. It was not easy to tear these notices down (laminated notices, zygology ties, that sort of thing), but I did not like the idea and thought I would complain to the council or whomever.
Anyway, yesterday, passing the same spot, I noticed that the notices had vanished. I wonder if some legal eagle had made a formal complaint, or perhaps someone simply tore them down.
A lot of councils are overstepping the mark and if people are not vigilant, getting away with it.
The author of this article explains the issues around the vaccine very well –
The Pfizer Vaccine’s Meaningless 90% Effectiveness, And The Circus Surrounding It http://www.frombehindenemylines.org.uk/2020/11/the-pfizer-vaccines-meaningless-90-effectiveness-and-the-circus-surrounding-it/
This is an interesting point – ‘Contracting Covid-19 depends on the presence of ACE2 in the lung, with SARS-COV evidently delivered to it through the respiratory tracts.’
‘If a host is ripe for the plucking through his ACE2 situation (although how this is the case remains in dispute), then he’ll get a lung condition. If he isn’t, and the vast majority of people are not, then he won’t.’
If the vaccine is going to be so safe, why has the MHRA awarded a $1.6 million contract with Genpact to develop AI tech to monitor all the undiscovered side effects, which they expect will occur? Just asking for a friend….
Has your friend got a link to any details?
1.6 million dollars doesn’t really sound like enough money to develop something like this, unless it’s something along the lines of…
20 GOTO 10
It’ll cost an extra $1.6 million to develop that line…
In the company I worked for any programmer who coded a GOTO was dragged down the pub on Friday evening after work and required to stand a round for the whole development team. Admittedly not $1.6million dollars but expensive enough.
Problem solved!
and it will come in late, and not work properly, and they’ll have to tender for a replacement
It’s this tender:
https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:506291-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0
it will be some vb coding linked to an access database with web access that could be done by a small team over a few weeks but somehow will cost $1.6million
what was interesting in the reasons was that the existing MHRA process for recording vaccine side effects could not be retro fitted to cope with the additional volumes. i wonder how many they expect

The other day someone mentioned that the annual all causes death count is up 50,000 above the norm because of the ”died within 28 days of a PCR test” from the wave in spring.
Another way of looking at it is that most of the excess deaths in spring (with positive PCR tests) were people nearing end of life and would likely have passed later in 2020 anyway – which would have brought the annual all deaths count into line with the norm.
But this has not happened as tens of 1000s of people have died prematurely (by many years) as a result of the lockdown – not covid.
Check out Ivor Cummins’ channel on Youtube. He has the best breakdown of stats that I’ve found.
If anyone sees a reference in the mainstream media to the Liverpool Lateral Flow tests showing 0.4% positive tests v PCR tests, ONS & React monitoring claiming 2.2% across the North West can they flag it up.
This really looks like a very sharp needle that, if directed with precision & force would burst the balloon of puffed up hot air.
My mum’s funeral is in a couple of weeks and I really don’t want to go. Not because I don’t care but because I’ll get to see my family in their muzzled sheeple glory. How fucking lovely.
Last night’s argument was related to that and about my reclusiveness and muzzle refusalism, just awful as properly arguing back is just futile.
I honestly don’t think I can last much longer, life really isn’t worth living anymore.
You’re exempt. One of the exemption clauses is if wearing a mask causes distress, which it most certainly would if you were to wear one at your Mother’s funeral.
DavidC
It’s looking at them for some of us though, and I think DRW feels this way
Yes, I know about exemptions but everyone else will be complying.
Just back from an afternoon’s shopping. Utterly depressing. Convinced even more that the BBC is the chief enemy.
I had to go to a funeral of a close family member a couple of months ago.
At the entrance to the church (Catholic), no holy water just hand sanitizer.
Pissed me off no end.
But she was your mother you obviously have to grit your teeth and go.
For what it’s worth DRW, I belong to the optimists on here. I think a financial reset is coming – very likely 2021, and that that is the probable reason for all this.
I am convinced that by early next summer, people won’t stand for it any more. So, I am expecting some kind of culmination, very possibly in the next few months.
You are a young man I seem to remember.
In 50 years you will be telling your grandchildren about how crazy 2020 was. and about how difficult it was to come through it, and they won’t believe you.
Condolences and Best Wishes
Calchas.
Could they have blessed the sanitizer instead?
I like to joke that sanitiser is Covidian Holy Water.

“life really isn’t worth living anymore.”
It is worth a great deal to us here, beyond of the ranks of the insane. We are few enough as it is.
I agree though, it is hard to watch loved ones succumb to the nonsense. Understand though, nothing about them has changed – only certain truths about what lies in their hearts have been revealed. They have always been this way, and you still loved them, so nothing has changed.
They are as they are, they act only as they can, and so it is with you. Rejoice in what has been revealed about you, what is truly in your heart, and stand strong, embrace it. You have a strength that it is not a little outside of their understanding, but in another galaxy entirely. Your mind is not ruled by fear, but spirit, and that is rare indeed.
And what is it you truly wish for? Freedom of choice, an end to lies and manipulations. And you want this, not only for yourself, but for them too. So does this not make you the guardian of their best interests where they have failed to understand them?
If you let this thought lead you when they fling shit at you, then you will see them as just misled. As long as there is no threat of violence, what does it matter what they say? The easiest victory is to not react, and to say nothing at all until their powerful emotions pass, concentrating all the while on your own calm and standing on your pricinples. And yes, it takes daily practice, but your strength of mind can only grow in doing so.
And who can blame your loved ones, really? This has been a psychological operation of gargantuan proportions. Another testament to your strength of mind and your convictions, no?
Do not argue with them – come here to let off steam instead. In the meantime, commit to not explaining but demonstrating your refusal to submit. We here are all grateful for your example.
Great post and a good way to try to look at my own brainwashed people.
Wonderful contribution and a great help to me too.
Thanks, this is applicable to all of us.
Thanks for this. There are times I feel the same way as DRW so this advice is very, very welcome.
DRW – Only you can decide. But I think you may, on balance, feel better by going and dealing with the mask issue as a separate issue.
Whatever your decision, I wish you well, and people here do understand the conflict.
You must go DRW – for your Mum and yourself – I believe you will regret it later if you don’t.
I lost my Dad at 25 – I have some idea of how you are feeling at the moment.
And you must stay here – for your Mum, if not for yourself right now. She would not want you joining her, would she.
Please don’t give up on us. We need you.
My mother’s was recent and max of 20 in the crem chapel. I wasn’t muzzled but the rest were -when making a speech , it felt like being an actor in a horror movie. No wake afterwards either. One of those things that you have to go to. There was an article written by an exlifer in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle saying that this will end and you have to take one day at a time.
You have to go. You will regret for the rest of your life if you can go and don’t. Just ignore the muzzles, think of your lovely mum and send thoughts of peace to her. Leave quickly if you have to. The wake is not important, but the funeral is.
Absolutely right.
DRW i’m sure your mother (whether she believed in COVID or not) would admire your strength of conviction. Go to the funeral without your mask and your head held high. Have faith, things have to get better from here!
A man should not be without morals; it is better to have bad morals than none at all.
– Mark Twain
I can imagine how you feel. So sad for you. Inside would be just about bearable – I think, like you, it would be a pretty awful feeling talking to muzzled-up people outside. Make a point by taking big dramatic lungfuls of good fresh air as you’re speaking to them – saying that you’ve been told it’s good for the immune system (for fighting the dreaded virus….. I know, ‘what virus?’). You might even plant a little seed…….
Please hang in there. We need more muzzle-sceptics. All the best. Stay with us!
Thank you KH.

Go if only for your mum and for that sense of closure for the life that she’s lived. Don’t muzzle up, you’re exempt, that’s all there is to it.
Stay strong.
I feel for you. Probably everyone here does. Try to be patient with your relatives. Explain what convinced you. Concentrate on the ones that voted Leave. They’re the ones most likely to be open to anything other than the BBC’s narrative. Marshal your facts. You’ll strengthen your own resolve in the process.

Apparently Prof. Carl Heneghan has not signed The Great Barrington Declaration.
Why not I wonder ?
Probably because he is an “Outlier” – according to that arrogant ******* Twatcock:
https://twitter.com/AlistairHaimes/status/1328282075494047745
Maybe he sees his job as presenting evidence rather than drawing conclusions from it or proposing an alternative. Prefer him to keep his job and keep having a platform to rubbish what the government is doing than start getting “political”.
Having observed him now for some time, I think you’re right. Although he has been more outspoken recently on some media outlets, he has been quite careful in terms of the CEBM pronouncements – that they adhere to basic scientific protocols.
Is that so? Maybe to avoid politicization of it?
Politically the resistance needs to send the tanks direct to our moronic PM and his merry band of comrades. Build back better ! ahh yes, let`s go for the driver next.
Labour are next to useless, so, in view of being nohing else, bring on the Reform UK Party and all the best to it !
I suspect many UK politicians (and many around the world) are being bribed, blackmailed or coerced by the same entitity that is orchestrating lockdowns around the world. Whether it’s the WEF, the banks, the UN who’s pushing it.. I have no idea. But every country is reading from the same script
Masks are being mandated in Belarus. So even Lukashenko who said ‘No’ to lockdowns seems to have succumbed to pressure
Unfortunately, I don’t think Parliamentary politics will save us, especially when the likes of Valance and Whitty have shares in Pharma companies who stand to profit from ‘Covid’
I can’t think what the answer is
BBC is the real enemy.
There must have been failings at one test centre as well:
A drive-through coronavirus testing site on the edge of Norwich has had to close – because of an outbreak of Covid-19 among the staff who work there
If having antibodies doesn’t save BoJo from isolating, what is the point in the rest of us wearing face nappies? They clearly don’t work.
But I think we all know that anyway….
Chatting to an unmasked guy in a shop last week, I asked him if his work was ok with it. He pulled out in lanyard and replied
‘They’re fine with it, I’m Security at the Covid testing station”.
All except the ones who muzzle up to the eyeballs in the open air. I wonder if they ever consider why people with respiratory problems use oxygen. The main ”offenders” seem to be young adults and people in wheelchairs – the very ones who should be taking great lungfuls of fresh air for the sake of their immune systems.
Surely a false positive rate of 0.4% means that a test is 99.6% accurate. Or can someone explain my mistake?
You need to consider the false negative and prevalence of what is being tested for in the equation. Taking FNR out of the equation, if you prevalence was 0.4% too, then roughly half of any positive results would be false.
0.4% false positive means that if, say, 100 000 people aretested, then 400 people will produce a positive result, even if what is being tested for is not present in the population.
So, if 100 000 are tested and 1000 are positive, then only 600 of those will be real positives.
That still doesn’t sound too bad until you learn that the likely real infection rate (not random bits of dead virus) is much less than 0.6%.
I think the formula is: True positive rate = positive rate – false positive rate. I always get confused by explanations of maths using numbers.
Should it just say 0.4, without the percentage? That would be a ratio of 2/5, or 40% false.
The proposed move to all electric cars will cost the Govt £40bn a year in lost tax on fuel
https://twitter.com/simondolan/status/1328283209898057728
To be recovered by putting up the price of electricty no doubt.
Possibly that, possibly tolls on all roads, probably both.
Don’t even need tolls for that, just black-boxes to record the bills.
Already being looked at by “Dishy Rishi”:

Watch Dr. Vernon Coleman’s take on Electric Cars. 13 minutes of nonstop debunking.
No, by charging £1.50 per mile driven.
They want the energy requirements of every vehicle in the country to be delivered by the national grid, which can barely cope with current demand.
Only a politician can dream up an idea that a primary school pupil could destroy in seconds.
I’m pretty sure that they are fully aware that the system cant cope with increased demand. They are most likely counting on 1 of 2 things:
My take is that it is likely point 2 that they are currently aiming for under the ‘Reset’ agenda, with the gradual knock on effect leading to point 1 over 10-20 years.
Even simpler approach: just make it illegal to leave your house. No need for cars then.
Oh, wait…
I believe you are wrong about this. There is plenty of overnight capacity in the grid.

We only have two tools at our disposal,
1, mass refusal to comply , basically a general strike by the population.
2, political resistance in parliament
what hope of either ?
People need to get their affairs in order , pay down debt and develop methods of survival through a prolonged period of serious disruption to normal service.

Re NHS to set up 43 specialist long Covid clinics
https://twitter.com/simondolan/status/1328248388253605888
—— ——-
There is no such a thing as Long Covid – just another thing invented to scare people
It is called post viral syndrome. Easily fixed by improving nutrient deficiencies. The body chews through nutrients in an effort to get rid of viruses
COVID-19 is a lack of nutrients, exploited by a virushttps://rclutz.wordpress.com/2020/09/10/covid-19-is-a-lack-of-nutrients-exploited-by-a-virus/
Forget the 2nd wave…….
Excellent from Nick Macleod, arguable at the very least that Fauci et al and activists caused a great deal of damage by insisting that it was an equal opportunity plague.
Have any of you seen this –
“quote from the chair of KPMG to the WEF last week, who said that;
“Covid – 19 was just a dress rehearsal.”
Another related comment says :-
“Jeffrey Broom it was stated in the Rockefeller lockstep document dated 2010 that a virus would be released in order to bring in stricter controls of the population and if people don’t comply, a more deadly version would be released with 30% fatality rate. Who knows if it’s true”
These are comments on a SORUK thread. Don’t know the source for either yet.
I must admit to being quite concerned to Gates’ smirking “they’ll notice the next one” comment.
I saw that video of Bill and Melinda Gates’ duping delight too. Are they genuine psychopaths?
Occam’s razor on that one.
PS – the lockstep document doesn’t say anything like that. It’s worth a read though if you haven’t read it.
No I haven’t – I thought you lot may have though 🙂
I am sceptical about sceptical stuff as well as non-sceptical stuff – can’t trust anyone these days!! Not sure I like being this paranoid though.
Duckduckgo it, it’s out there. Makes an interesting read for sure.

This latest stunt is telling us that the misery will never end. Don’t even dare mention that you have an immune system, it is useless against covid.
We will be allowed into their new normal if we accept a vaccine and have them boosted as and when they see fit.
The BEST PROOF our immune system is WORKING VERY well is this one…
In fact in the Plantation where I live, the “doctors”/”health experts” don’t even prescribe any special drugs for those that have a “positive” amplification and are without symptoms! They just have a few extra days off… and that’s it!
Lovely scam isn’t it?
In reality OPERATION COVID main goal is just to START the CHANGE of Their Civilization.
It’s just viral, plenty of fluids and rest. But covid is special.
“covid” is just a special kind of stupidity.
He looks worse every day.
He does. I think somewhere deep down he knows that this is all wrong. It is not what he thought he signed up for and he’s deeply conflicted over the government’s actions. Couple that with the fact that he is (in my opinion) in a coercive relationship with the Princess NuttyNutty, and mental breakdown is far from impossible.
Or am I just giving him too much benefit of the doubt?
This is just inane bullshit. Boris really is just far and beyond behaving in any way that could be described as sensible. This guy is now null and void.
A bullshit machine. Nobody can take him seriously any more. Boxing glove to pummel the virus with. FFS
There is no pejorative that is bad enough for this evil clown.

Has anyone read the Telegraph and Matt Hancocks comments regarding the vaccine?On Talk radio he said that
The Health Secretary said he could not rule out making the Covid vaccine compulsory, but stressed he was hoping enough people would take it voluntarily.
This is Eugenics, It is also ilegal under article 6 of the Universal Bioethics and Human rights Declaration. Which incidentally this Government is trying to get us removed from.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa5ruw4nOLg
Link to full interview.
What is particularly worrying is the Telegraph and even its more sceptical columnists have unquestionably got behind the vaccine bandwagon (whether they personally take it is something we probably won’t ever know). Anyone influencing the public should make this clear.
I still assume they will just up the fear and propaganda via the controlled media to the point where there will be long queues for the vaccine. Most of the public clearly believe the false narrative and harder to reach groups such as football fans are clearly going to be coerced via the ticket providers (I suspect many would inject anything if their favourite team and told them to for the greater good).
Football fans are absolute clowns when it comes to politics. If they spent half as much of their energy berating the government as they do with their team we might actually get places.
Absolutely I feel I’m banging my head against a wall on the forums I used to belong to hence the phrase used to belong to
It’s not cool to talk about politics that affects there whole way of life when you can discuss the merits of 352 vs 451…
Yet when they do, they are painted as right wing extremists and deplatformed.
Yeah fair enough where I am from though the majority of celtic fans (of which I am myself) are hard left. They have this strange affiliation with the likes of Palestine because at some point the Irish immigrated over here. It’s a bizarre relationship.
It’s truly tempting just to let them get on with it. After all if they want to push ahead of us in the queue I’m happy.
I just have a couple of concerns
1) I believe on balance the vaccine will be safe, if pointless. However, we haven’t done the trials yet to prove that. Suppose it isn’t safe and shows really nasty reactions that cause such bad outcomes that the NHS is overwhelmed? Oh dear, who pays for that both financially and with worse health care outcomes for the rest of us?
2) Much simpler point – I don’t want my taxes spent on something we don’t need. We sure as hell need all the cash we can hang on to.

Yes, Ivor Cummins’s interview with the South African Pandata chap was excellent. Adding important information on the devastation being wrought in the developing world on people living hand to mouth. The same people who need and are denied cheap electricity.
That latest Triggonometry interview with the Thai-German doctor is worth a watch. Plus James Delingpole’s interview with Prof Michael Yeadon.
I wasn’t really listened but he said something about getting on with his green agenda.
The Portuguese ruling is a bright spark in a pretty dark scene. Its rationality is an inspiration.
Would that we could achieve a similar judgment in this country. Are we buggered by the lack of clear constitutional principles?
Maybe, though principles are worthless unless there are people prepared to apply them honestly
Surprise surprise, another vaccine now passed trials and it’s even better than last weeks!
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54902908
What’s interesting is this statement:
Is it safe?No significant safety concerns have been reported, but nothing, including paracetamol, is 100% safe.
Is that the best they can come up with as an argument against the ‘anti-vaxxers’? If you are happy to use paracetamol then you should be happy to take this vaccine!
They presume that the vast majority of the population are gullible idiots. They’re not wrong.
Indeed, that was spouted by Professor Robin Shattock of ICL, on Thursday’s Question Time. A spurious and wholly non-scientific response from someone who ought to know better.
When Russia announced it had developed a vaccine, the elite told us that it was impossible for Russia to have developed a safe and effective vaccine as the process takes years.
When Pfizer announced they had developed a vaccine, the elite told us that anyone saying that it could not be known to be safe and effective as it takes years was spreading misinformation and should censored and criminalised as they pose a serious danger.
Apparently we are not supposed to recall what they said in previous news cycles and just believe and parrot the narrative of the day.
Perhaps they meant that a couple of asprin was all that was needed in most cases?
bloody sweden still not playing ball!
deaths below 5 year average – updated data set. table 1
https://scb.se/hitta-statistik/statistik-efter-amne/befolkning/befolkningens-sammansattning/befolkningsstatistik/pong/tabell-och-diagram/preliminar-statistik-over-doda/
yes, maybe most of those who died in spring in Sweden were ready to go and were simply taken a few weeks/months early, and so deaths now are currently below the average as things balance out.
Sweden do not have all the additional and unnecessary deaths that the UK have because of unintended consequences of our lockdown and shutting down health services.
My first and preferred theory so far for explaining the insanity we are living is that governments overreacted, screwed up the initial response and then saw the damage they had caused and realised they could never admit to it. Basically a giant cover up. And as long as they all stick to it they are fine.
They hate Sweden because Sweden is like someone telling on them.
I agree. They are so complicit that they’ll double down. They’ll tell themselves that the people can’t handle the truth.
Ivor Cummings said in the Energy Blueprint interview that most of those who died in Sweden (apart from the care homes residents) were Somali immigrants (lack of Vitamin D).
Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, was on BBC Breakfast this morning. Dan Walker, one of the BBC’s
journalistspresenters, attempted to challenge Hancock on Boris Johnson and Lee Anderson not practising social distancing in Number Ten. Hancock was in the BBC’s newsroom. Behind him, all through the interview, one could see lots of BBC personnel moving about. They were very clearly not practising social distancing. It seems virtue signalling hypocrisy is institutionalised at the BBC.Not to be out done, on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Piers Morgan condemned all the misogynistic and sexist abuse that Carrie Symonds has suffered and asserted that she ought to be the prime minister.
Watching the corporate media’s purported news is like watching an alternative, surreal parody of reality.
Carrie Symonds is the prime minster.
How do you know this?
Through the power of flippant observation. 😀
You should be on SAGE.
I for one welcome our new leader Princess HubNut.
Sine qua non…
It really is a window into the mind of a psychotic mind. These see through masks they are now wearing are absolutely dystopian
Surely the rules are Johnson has to isolate regardless of whether they were distancing? Why can’t Walker attack the rules, not that they weren’t being followed (which they were as far as I can see).
Boris Johnson and Lee Anderson were photographed indoors, not wearing masks, clearly significantly less than two metres apart. That is not practising social distancing.
As to why can’t Walker attack the rules? He works for the BBC. As I suspect you will have noticed, they have a clear editorial policy on the issue.
It’s the new and improved Jerry Springer Show.
He wants to show everyone he is the most virtuous of all the virtue signallers.
Moderna Covid Jab shows 94.5% efficacy in clinical trials
“Out of 30000 people in the trials,95 had been identified with confirmed cases of Covid.Among those infected,5 people had received the two-dose vaccine,while 90 had received a placebo”
Remarkably similar to Pfizer
Shows there is no need for a vaccine
He experienced a severe reaction to Moderna’s covid-19 vaccine candidate. He’s still a believer
He is apparently, one of three people in the trial who had a systemic adverse reaction to the vaccine

NIH owns half of Moderna vaccine
https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-07-10-nih-owns-half-of-moderna-vaccine.html
He’s 29 years old, slim and presumably was healthy.
What about people 40 years older??
Moderna have never developed an approved drug , let alone a vaccine for a novel virus in world record time using mRNA technology. But BBC thinks it is safe so all must be good.
Assuming 15k were given vaccine and 15k the placebo then only 90 people out of 15k became infected without vaccine = 0.6%. Hardly a deadly infectious virus we should be worried about! Take the vaccine and reduce your chances of catching it from 0.6% to 0.003% when most people have 99.9% survival chance if they do.
This is a low prevalence virus ( in pfizers trial only 0.2pct tested positive) , with very low mortality if caught. On what basis are they going to receive emergency use authorisation. Surely every scientist and doctor in the world should find this completely unethical.
You’d think….
It’ll have absolutely no impact on death numbers given the fact that so many of these Covid deaths are classified as such due to process and not clinical diagnosis
You could give it to the New Zealanders and the Australians. Will be the vaccine trial to end all vaccine trials.
Agree that the 95 out of 30k participants in the placebo group speaks volumes– although we knew that was about what the prevalence was.
Yes, if the trial was done properly then surely both groups weren’t hiding in their homes and were out to shops, travelling on public transport etc as much as possible and only 0.6% became infected.
It’s easy when They are all in this together!
Utterly bonkers. There’s an argument in saying that based upon these trials, our immune system is 99.7% effective and that the vaccine may help to assist the 0.3%, but not all of them either.
Cue an announcement by the end of the week that the Sputnik vaccine is 97% effective after further trials. Great news – we’ll be in the 100% plus effective zone by the end of the month and the whole thing will be over.
Once the person of influence realises we’re being lied to and learns about the politicians with conflicts of interest, the World Economic Forum and how every country is reading from the same script.. How the world is under attack from Pharma, the banks, and multiple vested interests in a ‘flu d’etat’ what then?
It’s gone past the science stage unfortunately
We have to link up with other sceptical groups around the world and set up our own global network.
You make some reasonable points, and then go barmy with this :
“The education system was contracted out to the Marxists forty years ago “
Of course it f.ing wasn’t. The main influencers were actually nostalgic reactionaries with personal ideas of grandeur – from Baker to Gove.
Daughter’s English teacher a fully paid up Marxist – and vocal.
I was rather surprised to see a canal boat near Devises, very smart looking, matt black with gold trimmings with a red hammer and cycle painted on it.
Cycle?
My teacher in 1982: “theres no point in you lot learning anything, Reagan is going to drop nuclear bombs and kill us all soon”. We were 9 years old. Sheffield’s education system has always been run by marxists.
And that was two years before Threads, as well. Reagan derangement was that generation’s Trump derangement.
“Sheffield’s education system has always been run by marxists.”
Wasn’t known as the People’s Republic of South Yorkshire for nothing.
Our education system is based on the Prussian model:
https://www.forcedschool.com/post/69947261758/the-prussian-model
“The Prussian mind, which carried the day, held a clear idea of what centralized schooling should deliver: 1) Obedient soldiers to the army; 2) Obedient workers for mines, factories, and farms; 3) Well-subordinated civil servants, trained in their function; 4) Well-subordinated clerks for industry; 5) Citizens who thought alike on most issues; 6) National uniformity in thought, word, and deed.”
John Taylor Gatto, The Underground History of American Education
So the current ruling class weltanschauung is stamped on formative minds, which is indeed an increasingly Marxist ideology.
Simon Dolan on Twitter
I have come to the conclusion that the Govts intentions are simply to break the spirits of people and to decimate the economy.
The purpose?
To make you reliant and dependant on the Party
Look to China. That is their model.
spot on.
LS keeps us sane
I agree. I have been thinking thus for some time.
China decimated its economy. I must have missed that. I thought China had made massive strides in developing its economy and reducing poverty over the past decade or so.
Actually, FIRST it decimated its economy and broke the spirits of its people and then it went on an economic growth rampage.
A few decades of Maoism destroyed the economy and the rebellious spirit of the Chinese. Then they opened the economy up, but fully under the control of the CCP.
Simon Dolan’s observation is spot on.
Correct! Many parallels, Great Leap Forward, Red Guards …
My mistake I hadn’t realised that the reference to China decimating its economy referred to the Great Leap Forward, instituted in 1958.
Mao drove the economy to ruin with 5 year plans, destroyed the family and education with the cultural revolution so as to begin a new beginning.
Pol Pot tried the same in Cambodia with less success.
Millions starved to death first.
I am the only one who gets to choose what breaks my spirit and what does not.
A box tied to your face with a rat in it says you’re wrong.
Or whatever your major phobia is. Mine would be a tarantula. I really doubt I could resist that threat. We all have breaking points.
And yet, the choice still remains.
Not once KGB have finished with you.
James Stockdale would disagree.
Govt want to clamp down on ‘misinformation’ but media doctors like Hilary Jones & Sarah Jarvis are the real danger. Under the guise of expertise, they’re given big platforms to tell us to conform to whatever is being asked of us. Far superior doctors don’t get that exposure.
https://twitter.com/SoniaPoulton/status/1328304442131755010
The most damaging piece of misinformation currently in circulation is that the PCR is fit for purpose.
The government should start by publicly debunking that.
PCR testing is brilliant, more positive tests given out means more business. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the labs just look at the sample and give a result.
I can’t believe wancock will allow any debunking.
When they say misinformation, they do not mean inaccurate information. They mean anything that challenges the official narrative. But Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary can hardly be seen to be publicly calling for the criminalisation of anyone who challenges the official narrative.
“Misinformation” now means The Truth.
Maybe we can use their impending new laws against them?
It’s more that the purpose isn’t fit for the PCR. It’s a perfectly good test if done properly and the results interpreted correctly.
I think the most shocking piece of misinformation is immunity denial. Of course there is a grain of truth– immunity after an infection is not total sterilizing immunity for life. But nobody ever thought it would be.
The immunity denial you see in the Guardian, BBC etc. is every bit as ridiculous and unfounded as the theory that 5G causes Covid. And yet it’s somehow become mainstream.
It is fit for purpose – but diagnostic testing isn’t its intended purpose.

Let’s bring in masks just to make sure.
She is clearly a NWO puppet, I literally don’t understand why the majority of people can’t see what’s going on.
Just nuts isn’t it. No virus, let’s get masked. #buildbackbonkers
And the majority of the gormless population will applaud it.
It is summer in NZ. Wait for winter to roll in

Toby, there is no such thing as “scientific data”. Data are facts, and no amount of facts constitute science. Science uses facts to establish laws and test hypotheses and generate theories, but the facts are not science. I mention this, not to be pedantic, but because the misuse of language is part of the reason we are in this (constant yet ever changing) lockdown nightmare. True, your misuse of the language is nothing like as egregious as Patrick Vallance’s “The modelling, that’s the data we are looking at” which was used to justify lockdown version two. But it all adds up. The pretence that positive tests are cases. The pretence that death with a positive test is died from the virus. The pretence that a vaccine is a public health measure, rather than a clinical treatment to confer immunity on the vaccinated individual. The pretence that an opinion from some hand picked expert is “the science” etc. We need accurate use of language if we are to demonstrate the deceptions of the lockdownistas.
This is so very very true.
The casual use of language is proving to be very insidious.
I suspect a great deal of this casual use of language is anything but casual. I suspect much of it is intentional. When Jonathan Ashworth, the Shadow Health Secretary, calls for the censorship and criminalisation of people promoting misinformation, I am sure that he does not mean inaccurate information and does mean information and opinions that challenge the official narrative.
21st Century Newspeak.
I reckon you have an important point. ‘The Science’, if it is anything is a process, not a series of ‘facts’.
In the most accepted framework, ‘Following the Science’ means following a rational process of hypothesis testing, and accepting that the null hypothesis stands absent a convincing measure of the probability of the hypothesis being true.
By those normal and accepted criteria, almost all the key statements made by government have not stood the test, from assertions about the seriousness of SARS-CoV-2 to the measures implemented by regulation that bypasses the democratic process.
In short : the government case is based on unverified counter-factual assertion, not ‘The Science’.
The government’s “science” is in fact pseudoscience. All of it. I have pointed this out before, so rather than repeating it: https://viewsandstories.blogspot.com/2020/10/coronavirus-pseudoscience.html
If you believe in science being objective see Stuart Richies book.. Science Fictions, Exposing Fraud , Bias, Negligence and Hype in Science to see it is anything but.
Does the government have a plan of any sort?
Or is our life from now on just going to be dedicated to achieving an r-rate below 1 for the coronavirus?
If the only firm policy the government has is to achieve an r-rate below 1, then I guess we are all going to spend the rest of our lives as state lab rats for various cockamamie experiments on how to reduce coronavirus spread to less than 1. Lockdowns, masks, isolations, tests, vaccines and whatever crazy idea comes up next.
Coronaviruses have been around since before humans appeared on the scene and will certainly be around long after us.
The plan is clear, slowly suffocate the population.
I can’t breathe (now where have I heard that before . . .)
Let’s be honest, life is over from this point on unless the masses realise what is going on.
They’re getting paid for masturbating and watching TV. It seems unlikely.
Coronanists?
“There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power.”
William Henry Harrison
The plan is to roll out the vaccine, and depending on who you think is right and the real reasons behind this they will either then gradually get us back to normal or the nonsense will carry on forever, or some combination of the two
The “plan” was always and only to have a continuous lockdown of varying shape and size until there was a vaccine
I very much doubt that the “plan” is to stop all the lockdown nonsense when a vaccine is rolled out.
Actually, the first plan was to flatten the curve and not overwhelm the NHS.
But that changed.
Keeping the R-rate below 1 isn’t really a plan. It’s more a way of life.
The R rate is a red herring!
This isn’t about a vaccine!
The only identifiable plan is that which has been and is being promoted by the WEF. The very fact that numerous Govts around the world are reading from an identical script using the same language confirms that this is no conspiracy theory but documented, widely advertised and supported, provable reality. Either our various Judiciaries will save us from the totalitarian demands with which we are faced or they will be revealed to be yet another part of the problem. I am half way through watching the Reiner Fuellmich/Mike Yeadon/Clare Craig video, long at nearly four hours but enormously rewarding as it comprehensively examines and dismantles the narratives with which we have been presented and which have got us to where we are now. The three uniformly central suppositions of this narrative are: 1. There is asymptomatic transmission 2. There is no prior immunity 3. (mass) PCR testing can reliably demonstrate infectiousness. None of these are true, yet they are all being parroted simultaneously in multiple locations. If the Judiciary, when invited to do so, are unable or unwilling to find that deception, deliberate or otherwise, is at the root of this travesty of public health policy and curtailment of our civil liberties, then we shall have to soldier on until the emperor stands exposed in all his naked odiousness. We will do it, of course, because there is simply no alternative.
They don’t want it to end, see JHuntz above. State of Emergency called so ECHR circumvented = loads of power for as long as it lasts.
Has anyone had any experience of challenging hospital protocols in place around restricting visitors? My 83 year old mother had a massive stroke yesterday and the hospital refuses any visits for 10 days, then only twice a week for an hour. They will not budge. I’m wondering if it could be challenged under ECHR right to family life? They think my 90 year old dad, very deaf, can communicate with my mother, who can hardly speak, over zoom ffs.
Sorry you are having to go through that. It must be very stressful. Hopefully some of the knowledgeable people on here will have some pointers.
The problem is the government have declared a state of emergency that allows them to circumvent the Human Rights Act. The ECHR is effectively not worth the paper it’s written on. The relevant section is article 8 it may be worth a shot regardless. So sorry to hear this is happening to you.
That’s really rotten. Only thing I can think of is trying the hospital’s patient liaison service, assuming they have one, and if the office is open. If I were you I’d go along in person. I’ve done that before now, sooner than phone or email and have to wait for a response. They’ve always been very good when I’ve been in touch with them – really understanding, and able to help. Good luck!
This is beyond cruel. I feel for you and your family. I don’t know if quoting The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 4) Regulations 2020 would help in this situation?
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1200/made
Restrictions on leaving home
5.—(1) No person may leave or be outside of the place where they are living without reasonable excuse.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)—
(a)the circumstances in which a person has a reasonable excuse include where one of the exceptions set out in regulation 6 applies;
Exceptions: leaving home
6.—(1) These are the exceptions referred to in regulation 5.
Exception 4: medical need etc
(6) Exception 4 is that it is reasonably necessary for P to leave or be outside P’s home—
(a)to seek medical assistance, including to take any medical tests, be vaccinated or access any of the services referred to in paragraph 47 of the Schedule;
(b)to donate blood or attend medical trials;
(c)to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm;
(d)to attend a person giving birth (“M”) at M’s request;
(e)to visit a person (“V”) receiving treatment in a hospital or staying in a hospice or care home, or to accompany V to a medical appointment and P is—
(i)a member of V’s household,
(ii)a close family member of V, or
(iii)a friend of V.
If that does not work get onto your MP and create merry hell.
I hope you get to visit.
Mrs Two-Six
Good work Mrs 2-6
This a situation I think a lot of us hope never to find ourselves in and you just never know if it might happen.
It is bad and stressful enough even in normal times but the inhumane cruelty that people are now being treated with is indescribable.
Emma I hope you and your parents can get through this. Much love to you.
Ask the Ward Sister for the name and contact number of the social worker that covers your mother’s ward.
Ask for an urgent urgent social care assessment. This is your entitlement. (Hospital discharge planning was my former job!)
The assessment should include your father’s view as well as your mother’s. Also it should include physiotherapy & occupational therapy as it’s vital to mobilise as much as possible soon after a stroke. Your mother must sit out in a chair daily & not stay in bed.
I would be worried about these first 10 days without a visit as she may feel abandoned and this will impact on her willingness to mobilise. Stress how the contact with your father is thus vital for her well-being to improve mobility and independence and facilitate early discharge (These are started as early as possible).
P.S. Use as many of these Buzz words as possible,

False Positive Covid Tests Will Extend Unjustified Lockdowns, Fauci Admits ‘Miniscule’ Accuracy
.
https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/false-positive-covid-tests-will-extend-unjustified-lockdowns-fauci-admits-miniscu
I wrote to my local Minister three times in the past 4 months with two specific requests. Always the same two, just with added citations of information each time.
Publish the FPR and NPR being tracked by the health authority here in Northern Ireland
Publish names of all PCR tests being used and their CTs.
Thats it. I knew that if they did that, it would be game over. He’s ignored all three mails. In that time now we’ve manufactured a crisis with chool closures, exam uncertainty, NHS staff shortages, cancellation of electives and subsequent deaths, loss of liberties and freedoms.
Complicit. No other word for it. He’ll be forever reminded of this
Has there been any press coverage of the Portuguese Court decision? Can’t find anything online
You could try emailing Deborah Cohen. She’s pretty honest I think and has done some OK stuff for the BBC. If you do an internet search for her, she has her own website and that has her email address, which she does look at and sometimes answer. You could email her some snippets from the piece above the line.
I am Portuguese and have been watching the news here today and yesterday. If there was any mention of that decision, I haven’t seen it – I learned of it through here. The news are almost exclusively “in five days we are all going to die, because the hospitals are overwhelmed if you don’t all wear masks in your sleep” propaganda.
Ivor Cummins on Lockdowns, Immunity, Curves, Mortality Rates, and Making Sense of The World’s COVID Data
https://www.theenergyblueprint.com/ivor-cummins/
Excellent interview, highly recommended. The interviewer is well-informed and asks intelligent questions.
People need to realize too, that the WHO guidelines were absolutely crystal clear on this in November 2019 publication, decades of science. No quarantine for pandemics. Once the virus is in the country, no point, just no point. The Irish pandemic guidelines, I downloaded the same thing. They also say the test and trace, there’s no point once the virus is broadly in a country. These measures are only if you’ve got an Island nation, and you’re actually attempting to keep it out.
Our visit to the out-of-town retail park this morning just underlined how stupid are the “rules”
Asda, fully open including all the franchises inside, selling food, clothes, homeware etc.
B and M next door, fully open, selling food, homeware, toys, gardening goods, a few clothing items.
Matalan next door, closed apart from click and collect for clothes and homeware.
M and S lower floor open, selling food, a selection of ladies’, men’s and children’s ware, Christmas shop open. Upstairs closed for homeware and the rest of men’s and children’s ware.
If you tell the shop assistant at the bottom of the (working) escalators what you want from upstairs, she will fetch it for you. No, We want to be able to see and feel the fitted sheet we had gone to buy.
Overheard an assistant explaining to a customer “Asda is open because it is about 80% food and 20% clothes, whereas M and S is the other way round”
Madness!
So there is an 80/20 rule in play now. Who knew?
Sorry, can’t tell ware from wear!
As a native German I check the RKI data every day.
They have a useful graph, comparing date of illness onset with date of test/notification to the authority.
The “date of onset of symptoms” has been very low for 10days, compared to “date of reported positive test”.
Today I noticed an explanation at the bottom, that much more “asymptomatic” tests results are being reported than actual illness.
On Fri 13th “ill” 537 , +tests: 15.358
I doubt the German MSM uses this info in their reporting.
And as at least 2 states have declared that they only want to test people with symptoms (as it has become too expensive to test people for free), the +test number should come down to more realistic numbers.
That will be sold as ‘lockdown working’
Yesterday, due to dislocating my shoulder i had to visit my local A&E. Nurse, Consultant, x-ray, consultant, x-ray, consultant again – and then out with mended shoulder in 1.5 hrs.
Can`t complain and well done NHS !
Did they try to stick anything up your nose or were you not “admitted”?
Just a quick temperature check at the door.
I got the temp check and had a few questions… lost your sense of smell? Had a cough? Etc.
Around here anyone arriving without a negative test, ie emergency, is tested on arrival.
Exactly my experience of 2 A&E visits in recent months. Triaged 5 minutes after registering…
At a visit for a pre-op assessment in July I was greeted by five staff who jumped to attention and were all desperate to claim me as I was the only patient there.
Remember 2016:”Take back control!!”
Dunno about that but this government has TAKEN CONTROL alright; control over absolutely every sleeping, waking moment of everybody’s life, day in, day out.
With 26,000 more “excess” non-Covid deaths in the home this year (a firmly established upward trend) the NHS can soon commence to close its empty Covid-only hospitals and save a pile of money.

Well worth taking an hour out to listen to ( not much else to do anyway apart from work 😉).
I watched it last night. I thought it was excellent and am now contemplating whether I should risk sharing it with my non sceptical family.
Hi Johet,
Not sure how relevant (or not!) this is, but I realised yesterday that the chap behind the new vaccine is also at the University of Mainz which is where Bhakdi was from too.
Kindest regards
Simon
I tried it on my sister, thinking surely this would make her wake up and smell the coffee. No such luck!. Even though she is anti vaccine and has strong views on big pharma, she still believes all this rubbish. I have given up now, I truly believe that a lot of people have been brain washed to such a degree that there is no way back for them.
I commented on this yesterday. I also thought it was excellent and enthused about it to my husband but he hasn’t watched it. He is a ‘stoic’ , not quite a zealot!!
This is the triggernometry with Sucharit Bhakdi in case anyone’s wondering pre-click.
Some of Ivor Cummins presentations? He often starts with an Irish centred view point which is fair enough. But he usually has other countries in the graphs. His most recent crucial update was great to show downturns before lockdowns in all countries that applied them. He also shows that excess deaths and ICU occupancy have not been out of the ordinary. Just search for him on YouTube
Agreed re.Ivor Cummins – really good graphics.
Then there’s :
Definitely Ivor Cummins. He presents the info very clearly.
BBC report on new vaccine with smiling Fergus Walsh, onto Hull and packed ICU scenes. Interviewing ICU patients (???). One person blamed it on not wearing a mask for her ending in ICU.
You have to hand it to them. They are persistent
I know. It’s absurd interviewing ICU occupants. Anyone fit for interview wouldn’t normally be in ICU.
I wouldn’t put it past them to be dragging people into ICUs that don’t need to be there. Got to keep up the fear level, don’t you know?
The lady who blamed her condition on not wearing a mask should review the papers showing correlation between obesity and ICU intake. Just saying
Definitely wasn’t the chicken nuggets and pork pies she scoffed for breakfast, lunch and dinner…
According to Dr Vernon Coleman a white paper by Moderna freely admits that their vaccine will affect your DNA. Check it out.
Keir Starmer is not a Human Rights lawyer he’s a Human Blight lawyer.
Fergus Walsh’s reporting has been an utter disgrace throughout.
Spot on assessment of the anti-vaccine censorship conundrum.
The more they argue for or do ignoring and censoring questions and criticism of the vaccines, the less trust will any rational person have in them, scientists and the vaccine.
Why can’t or don’t want they, and in particular the judges, understand this simple fact?!
The absolute priority has to be going after the efficacy of the tests. Don’t worry about the vaccine rabbit hole, focus on false positives.
Even if every single positive is a real positive, our case still stands – a vaccine is not necessary and the amount we are spending is not proportionate, because the risk is not great enough.
Spot on.
What’s the latest on the Scouse lateral flow tests ? It looked to be a potential game changer last week when the initial results revealed a (not) surprising absence of the Deadly Virus. Anyone heard or seen anything more ?
MSM seem to have lost interest in mass testing for Liverpool, can’t imagine why.
Maybe
The vaccine is a worry
I think it’s too late for the vaccine to be abandoned
I suppose if the tests are exposed as the nonsense they are, people will be much less bothered about the vaccine and it will be politically harder to make it mandatory
But it’s a big risk
A mandatory vaccine will be damaging to health and liberty – enormously so – and a de facto mandatory vaccine will restrict the lives of many. There are medical reasons why I would not take one, over and above the general objections, but it might mean I can never leave the country again
You are right , but to fight these people we need to use their tactics e.g I have tried to convince many lockdown zealots that their level of Fear is unreasonable and no amount of hard data or logical reasoning gets through.
However the prospect of rolling their sleeve up for a vaccine is genuinely frightening for a lot of people. There will be huge resistance to the vaccine, I suspect the nhs collaborators will also very quickly find their voices.
Am I correct in thinking that the manufacturers are not legaly liable for any adverse reactions and the fact there is a legal system in the UK with a capped payout for damages?
Stop the PCR tests and the ‘pandemic’ stops
That’s it, in a nutshell.
perhaps we can just slip a doctor £50 just to get the travel passport without the vaccine?
Try eBay.
Hundreds of dentists in danger of going out of business with increases in jaw cancer, tooth decay,infections and other medical problems in the next few months.
I hope that the sheep and collaborators suffer from the toothache from hell.
Who would have thought in the beginning of the year that we will not have access to dental services? More like 3rd world lack of services.
Dentists refuse to see patients and are in danger of going out of business. Who would have thought it?
Yep – serves them right, except it’s us that will suffer.
Can someone explain to me how they are working these vaccine trials?
Am I right in thinking that they are injecting half of the volunteers (30K in latest one) with the vaccine and half with the placebo (aka another vaccine), then seeing who (if anyone) develops covid like symptoms?
Am I right in assuming they aren’t actually treating anyone who actually has Covid?
If no one has it but they illicit an antibody response to the vaccine but haven’t trialed it against the real deal, how do they know how effective it will be. Are they not opening themselves up to the ferret scenario and wild virus exposure?
If the latest batch of poison being touted today has had 95 people (out of 30K) show covid symptoms, only 5 of which had the actual vaccine, doesn’t that in itself highlight how easily other illnesses can be attributed to Covid if the other 90 people with symptoms had an alternative vaccine (presumably something like MMR)?
That seems to be it. Life appears to be a 99.7% effective vaccine.
Moderna Vaccine TLDR:
30k in trial.
15k on Placebo.
15k on Vaccine.
90 on Placebo caught Covid.
5 on Vaccine caught Covid.
29,905 did not catch Covid.
14,910 on the Placebo did not catch Covid.
14,995 on the Vaccine did not catch Covid.
Laughable
Sames statistical twisting they do with statins.
I doubt they have considered false positives either.
90 caught Covid of which how many ended up ill? Did they only count symptomatic?
They use another vaccine so that it hides the number of extra side effects that would be noticed against a sugar/saline solution.
I believe in the US trials the FDA — because of Del Bigtree and his non-profit ICAN — made the manufacturers use an actual saline placebo vs. the meningitis vaccine which they had intended to use as the “placebo.” Trials outside the US are likely using the meningitis vaccine as the placebo.
Try this
https://twitter.com/Arkancideisreal/status/1327805882063720448
A vaccine is not a placebo. A placebo is a substance that has no therapeutic effect. A sugar pill or a saline solution are typical used.
Agreed, however they seem to use placebo and placebo group to represent the comparison group in these types of trial. I agree, what they actually do and how they test is far from a placebo but it keeps the sheeple from asking to many questions.
Found this yesterday:
https://mattbell.org/only-informed-consent-should-be-given-to-experimental-vaccine
some time ago one of the “tv doctors” said that she was participating in a trial – i think it was the oxford – and the control sample on that trial was given a meningitis vaccine . i would agree that placebo is not the correct word to use as a placebo is a substance that has no therapeutic effect
The ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine trial (2020-07-20) used the MenACWY vaccine as the control.
Hi everyone, Can I reach out to the Scottish reader who tipped off Toby re the National Records of Scotland table published in today’s Lockdown Sceptics main page? Bearing in mind that the Holyrood Harridan seems poised to jail the million or so of us in and around Glasgow, I was poised to fire off a letter to The Herald et al with a link to the table. The LS link takes you only to the main dashboard page. Alas, I have combed through the entire dashboard including the excel charts but can find no such table. Can you point me to its location please?
On closer inspection I can see that it might be a painstaking construction arrived at through compilation of various charts. If so, may I ask how it was put together and precisely what information sources were used? I am NOT trying to trip anyone up here. Nor do I have any suspicions about the data the table reveals. I just want to ensure absolute accuracy in any dealings with the media.
Yeah, it would be good if we could find the sources i’d like to issue this out also
I would be interested as well. In fact I would like to see more charts and graphs for Scotland as there seems to be very little I can find online.
I do like your term for her in Edinburgh, Holyrood Harridan seems much more educated than my term which is not for print.
How do you even begin to break down this level of brainwashing/propaganda?
It’s a cult. Simple messaging with no real point to it, while the Wizard pulls the levels in his Palace. A lack of belief in the cult is the reason for all woes.
Positive psychology bullshit. Believe and it shall be so.
Believe and it shall be so
In a post-truth world it is so, whilst objective fact, scientific reasoning, and culture all hurtle over the cliff into oblivion.
Just reply with the same slogan they are using this year!
Do we have any proof that rreal ‘Nurse Kelsey’ exists?
Propaganda – you can bet real nurses know the situation.
Well the girl that whisteblowed about the trust in Cornwall said she was surprised at how much her colleagues bought into COVID even when the data didn’t support it.
Lets face it a lot of NHS staff are loving this new found self importance coupled with a reduced workload.
As René Artois would say – Stupid Woman!
I have just thrown up my late lunch!. This makes me so angry that I could happily throttle the person who wrote it.
They’re probably surrounded by several other blokes of the 77th.
Kelsey is/was the name of a key nurse character on Casualty …..
Goodness me, how about you just shut up and get on with your job, you annoying nurse.
What did you think your job was going to be when you signed up to be a nurse? Has it come as a shock to you that you have to deal with sick people?
Note to doctors and nurses who are planning on complaining: shut up and do your jobs.
First, these are the people in full PPE and yet patients are still testing positive for Covid after being in hospital settings. How does she explain that? Can’t very well blame the rest of us for nosocomial infections.
Second, maybe she thinks firefighters should stop doing their jobs because fire can burn and even kill, therefore those in burning buildings should fend for themselves and not expect firefighters to come in after them. Policing is dangerous too, so cops should just declare themselves vulnerable and only agree to desk duty.
That’s good, because they’re not getting my applause or donated pizza.
Someone like this should have never gone near a nursing qualification. This is basically what they are saying:
We need you to stop going to work and doing your job so that you stop earning money and paying taxes that literally and figuratively pay our salaries… oh, wait.
A FOI appeal just came back.
So again, a council has no supporting evidence ro science to justify enforcing ny legislation.
My reply to them just for the hell of it:
Thank you for your open, honest but unsurprising answer.
Central Government have so far been unable to supply any scientific evidence under FOIs to support any of the measures taken since March 2020.
I am surprised that the Council, who are sometimes heavy-handedly enforcing these measures in conjunction with the Police have not researched the science for themselves but just taken the powers given to them and commenced enforcement of the legislation without regard if the measures are proportionate, will work or have any justification.
In short your answer amounts to “we are just following orders”.
Articles 3, 5, 9, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20.1, 23.1, 25.1, 27 and 30 in the UN Declaration of Human Rights are all being trampled upon.
Articles 3, 4, 8, 16, 25, 26 and 41 in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are all being trampled upon.
Under the UN Principles of International Law Recognized in the Charter of the Nürnberg Tribunal and in the Judgment of the Tribunal 1950 the Uk Government is committing Crimes Against Humanity.
Under this document Principles III, IV and VII are relevant to your actions in willingly enforcing any legislation and that your defence is not acceptable.
Class action lawsuits against Governments are in the process of being prepared in this and other countries on exactly these grounds.
Once again, thank you for your honest answer, it is much appreciated.
Sterling work once more AG.
Bloody fantastic.
Comrades!
Comrade Chairman (who overcame previous infection) has been in contact again with deadly disease, so must isolate in case of re-infection.
To prevent future need for isolation, glorious Party will spend billions of Party money on vaccines produced by Party patrons which will mean isolation is no longer needed!
Vigilant comrades are advised to be on guard against wreckers, bigots, oppositionists, other *ists and *phobes who spread rumours that there is a contradiction in a vaccine giving better immunity than an actual infection.
This will increase tractor production!
Am I being stupid here? Surely if no immunity was gained from having the virus once (sorry a positive test result) then we would be hearing of millions of reinfection stories? Haven’t there been like 5 worldwide and even they were dodgy? With that in mind, why is Boris isolating again?
To coerce the population to comply with rules
To make them think that a vaccine is the only solution
To make them think that you can still spread it even if you have had it
It is pure theatre
As was the staged departure of Cummings. All conjurors rely on their audience seeing what they expect to see. If it is a particularly tricky trick, the use of some smoke and a few mirrors will always create the desired effect of mass credulity and open-mouthed wonder.
perhaps because if having had it gave you some immunity from self-isolation and their other stupid rules, everyone would go and get it on purpose.
Because his handlers have told him that we’re too stupid to realise that actually he doesn’t need to. That we couldn’t possibly have read reports and opinion by REAL experts more qualified on the subject than the risibly named ”sage” bunch. And that many of us now have a rough layman’s idea of how this (fast vanishing) virus and immunity works.
He’s got to because they’ve told us that you don’t gain any immunity.
He has to pretend to follow his own stupid rules or people would make even more fun of him. Maybe Dom’s cunning revenge plan is to catch him breaking them.
Because he’s like a petulant 8 year old stomping off to his room in a strop and doesn’t want anyone around. Merely convenient imo.
Kerrrrrrchingggggg!

The pig dictators lame excuse is that he might have a cold
A cold is a viral respiratory disease that can kill people, especially the old and vulnerable.
It an annual pandemic. Long Cold is a terribly debilitating syndrome,
Unless I’ve missed it, why hasn’t the main update mentioned that the vaccine is new technology that’s never been used before? Alongside the lack of testing, this is the most important piece of information to use as an argument against the vaccine. Forget “misinformation”, we don’t need to get into theories, this vaccine is the “first of its type” and it’s not like a normal vaccine.
I’ve posted this before but I’ll post it again because I think it’s very important:
Yes, thanks, very important
I honestly think a percentage of people who assume they’ll get it could get swayed by this, because I’m near certain that everyone who thinks “oh, I’ll just get the vaccine” assume it’s going to be like a normal vaccine where you’re injected with a dead or weakened form of the virus to build immunity against it. Not only is it barely tested of it’s own accord, which is worrying enough, it’s a whole new type of vaccine! It’s absolute madness. They need to post about it in the main update, because even I had no idea until I read a post on another site that mentioned it.
A whole new type of vaccine, planned to be used on the entire population of the world and for which the manufacturers have been granted complete indemnity in case of any adverse effects. What could go wrong?
Dr Mike Yeadon took issue with Madge Hancock a couple of months ago:

Good link, thank you.
I saw you post this before and was grateful. I’m glad you posted it again, as I couldn’t find your previous, there were too many posts to go through.
I think you should keep posting this tbh, and spreading the word – at least until you go Galt 😉
Since your post I’ve noticed questions about the function of the vaccine being carefully evaded. Ha.
Thanks again.
(oops, hit reply on the wrong post – this was in reply to John Galt’s post. Apologies)
Yes, there are always loads of posts to get through! I’ve ended up keeping a coronavirus folder on my computer and it’s absolutely filled with images.
Haha, “who is John Galt?” When I was going into restaurants I was putting down John Galt as my name, I always wondered if anyone would get the reference.
And no problem at all.
You have to be older or a Libertarian to get the John Galt reference! I’m both.
Can they guarantee that it will produce the same result for every human being that gets vaccinated?

I posted this last night but its worth posting again. It’s very relevant.
George Hunt in 1992 made this film about how big banks planned the great reset. Well worth a watch. (36 mins).
Look out for the bit where David Lang a Montreal banker says ” I suggest therefore that this be sold not through a democratic process…that would take too long and require far too much of the funds to educate THE CANNON FODDER which unfortunately populate the Earth”.

Seriously scary…
Revenge will be ours.
I hope so and I hope it will be soon and savage too.
Yes.
I’m sure that us sceptics can think of worse punishments than the death penalty which I am against (don’t tempt me)
Come on, fellow sceptics, I’m sure we can think of some really appropriate ones, how about this one for starters: Cleaning Downing street with a toothbrush from one end to another (don’t worry, Bojo,Wankcock,Useless,5 homes Jenrick,Whitless,Vacuous, etc, we’ll supply the toothbrushs.
I’m sure that my fellow sceptics can think of plenty of others.
We could dangle the guilty in cages from the poles they usually hang the Union Jacks from along Pall Mall. If they starve, that will technically be neglect, rather than a death penalty.
Nice one!
I think they should be made to personally visit the families of every person who has died as a result of their disastrous lockdowns and stopping of all NHS services except for covid and be made to explain their reasoning and atone for what they have done.If there is anything left of them after that I’m sure we can think of something else.
We will.
They have to forfeit all finances and any gains, during their duration in politics in any role, and live on Universal Income on a council estate for the rest of their lives.
The Cannon Fodder fight back.

Pharma has 80 COVID vaccines in development, but Gates & Fauci pushed Moderna’s “Frankenstein jab” to the front of the line.
Moderna has never brought a product to market, proceeded through clinical trials, or had a vaccine approved by FDA. Despite Gates’ investments ,the company, was teetering on bankruptcy with $1.5 billion debt before COVID.
Fauci’s support won the company an astonishing $483 million in federal funds to accelerate development. Dr. Joseph Bolen, Moderna’s former R&D Chief, expressed shock at Fauci’s bet.” I don’t know what their thinking was”, he told CNN, “When I read that, I was pretty amazed”. Moderna and Fauci launched federally-funded human trials on March 3rd in Seattle. Dr Peter Hotez warns of potentially fatal consequences from skipping animal studies. “If there is immune enhancement in animals, that’s a show-stopper”. Dr Suhab Siddiqi, Moderna’s Ex-Director of Chemistry, told CNN, “I would not let the [vaccine] be injected in my body. I would demand: Where is the toxicity data?”

If so, then that’s my sanity shot down in flames.
The only thing that has been keeping me going has been learning Swedish on Duolingo with a view to getting the hell of out Dodge.
Time to reach for the pitchfork.
Let’s ask Carrie? On here, not Nut Nuts.
I have been getting confused the last few days which Carrie is meant in the comments, as I often just scroll through.
Yes – it could get a bit confusing.
Maybe ‘our’ Carrie should be Sweden Carrie, or Carrie from ? (as in Lisa from Toronto)
No. They always have these stories to smear Sweden.
It seems the politicians are breaking. They are overriding Tegnell with these measures. It is not he who is setting those rules.
Indeed, if Tegnell is being sidelined then even the flagship is heading for the rocks.
Even if they have advisory restrictions it would be a shock if they went for the coercion of fines and criminalising behaviours. For me it’s the lack of trust our government have shown in the population which is the worse aspect.
They didn’t lock down initially because it was against their constitution.
(It’s against ours but our government is clearly less principled!)
Catching up at last, drip by drip. Even the last holdouts of real normality are now falling.
Checked their government website, krisinformation.se and it seems to be true. However, it does not include private events, and I’m not sure how they are defined in law there.
Strange move.
I wonder if Bill Gates’ obsession with viruses is a mental disorder he developed because his WIndows operating system kept getting attacked by them.
This is only a half joke. I really wonder whether his mind – and the public’s – has been warped and is now confusing computer viruses and biological viruses and how you deal with each of them.
Maybe he needs to “level-up” and “reboot”
Try turning him off and then… don’t bother turning him back on again.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete =. The Great Reset
Punch him until he reaches the BSOD!
Well he managed to design a system that was shockingly open to them.
A “conceptual phantom” that’s become a sort of template, overlaid upon wherever the “host/attack” type metaphor has become the format.
Yes, and if someone told you that simply turning off your pc would rid it of a trojan computer virus they would call you mad. Yet, here we are with endless lockdowns.
*you would call them mad
I think PCs need turning off a bit more at present 🙂
I think you’re right 🙂
“Gates was small for his age and was bullied as a child.”

As pointed out before Gates has Aspergers which explains some behaviours, as doe’s Thunberg.
He has Asperger’s…
These snitches/collaborators would do well to look up what happened to their kind in Europe from 1944 onwards,they are drunk on the supposed power they feel the state has given them and feel protected by the regime but when it all crumbles their overlords will be too busy saving their own skins to care about them.
On local social media groups around here there are a few virtue signalling morons bragging about making complaints to the council and naming businesses they have got it in for,seemingly with no idea they are putting targets on themselves.I desperately hope that one day they get everything they deserve.
If not already posted..Scathing BMJ piece on mass testing..
https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4436?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_term=hootsuite&utm_content=sme&utm_campaign=usage
Spending the equivalent of 77% of the NHS annual revenue budget on an unevaluated underdesigned national programme leading to a regressive, insufficiently supported intervention—in many cases for the wrong people—cannot be defended.
It’s certainly scathing! Who would go for these tests voluntarily – that would be people who can afford to isolate. I wouldn’t imagine many working people would go and my sense is that minority communities do not trust these tests. As for using these on school children, how can a parent not consent without putting their child at risk of being shunned.
Its a very bad idea and I think Toby suggested it is Dominic Cummings idea. Hopefully it will fizzle out as less people put themselves forward.
90,000 tests done in Liverpool with 336 positives found and Liverpool according to ONS has an infection rate of 2.5%.
This is a corker! Thanks, PP. I just wished it undermined the case for lockdown!
It does undermine the case for lockdowns, which is made largely on the basis of mass testing results
I’m not so sure, Julian. They are only having a pop at the rapid tests, not PCR, as far as I can see. Most worryingly they suggest that “nobody’s freedom or behaviour should be made contingent on having had a novel rapid test. It is premature to offer testing as the route to individuals’ release from restrictions. Instead we must heed the advice of the World Health Organization and the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE)”.
I read that as there is no way to offer anybody a route to release form restrictions at the moment. And heeding SAGE means lockdown, doesn’t it? I think this editorial may represent political bias (anti-Conservative Govt) rather than a serious attempt to advocate for our freedoms or a return to anything we would recognise as sanity.
Well spotted!
Good catch and yes, this might be seen as political bias. However, as pointed out already, it highlights the question of either a very accurate test, but no genuine “cases”, or it’s completely flawed.
Abso-bloody-lutely.
The article, which is in a highly reputable journal, quotes a false positive rate of 0.6% for these rapid tests. As of 12 Nov, we are told that the Liverpool rapid testing regime had achieved 44,233 tests, with 249 being recorded as positive (https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-the-liverpool-mass-testing-scheme-a-gimmick-).
Given that this is 0.56% “positive”, so just the same as the false positive rate, what this means is that either there are essentially no genuine COVID-19 cases in Liverpool, or the test itself is fatally flawed. Shouldn’t we know which?
The revelation that both Pfizer and Modena have created seemingly effective and safe Covid vaccines that could be here by December is surely the first bit of good news 2020 has brought us…..
That’s what you think. Dr Vernon Coleman just read a White Paper from Moderna that freely admitted that their vaccine will change your DNA.
On today’s Richie Allen Show around minute 65.
DNA VACCINES
DNA vaccine work began thirty years ago, but as yet there are no licensed DNA vaccines and most remain in Phase 1 testing.
(Figure 5)
The key challenge associated with DNA vaccines is that they must penetrate the cell nucleus (crossing two membranes; the
cytoplasm and the nucleus). The DNA must then be transcribed in the nucleus into mRNA before moving to the cytoplasm to
stimulate antigen production. This core complex pathway often requires both larger doses and special, often painful delivery
devices using electric shocks or gold microspheres into person’s skin to deliver the DNA vaccine. Once inside the nucleus, DNA
vaccines have a risk of permanently changing a person’s DNA.

Considering they’re not allowed to ask, expect more of this from coppers not knowing what they’re attempting to enforce.
Actually police officers are allowed to ask. But if someone says they are exempt, they are exempt.
That’s what I meant, they’re not allowed to ask why. Anyone can ask, but no one is required to prove why.
So this is the West Midlands Police, who previously had to issue an apology for not accepting that a shopper was exempt because he said he was exempt. When they made that apology, they claimed it was difficult for their officers to know the law and Guidance. In this instance they again claim it is difficult for their officers to know the law and Guidance. Whatever happened to the doctrine: Ignorance is no excuse?
This is another bugbear, is it a law or is it guidance? The latter suggests you don’t need to follow it…
There are laws and there are Guidance (what’s the plural for guidance?). The laws were statutory instruments, first for public transport and then for shops and other indoor public spaces. Each time Guidance was issued. The Police College has also issued guidance. But these all make it clear that there are exemptions and that the person who decides who is exempt is the individual, no one else, and they do not need proof. If a police officer is unable to understand these written materials, they are obviously unfit to be a police officer.
“what’s the plural for guidance?”
‘guidance’ 🙂
Actually, it depends on the context and, in this context, I am pretty sure the correct form is guidances, but it sounds clunky.
Good to see that the fine was rescinded.
It was nice that they offered a sincere apology too.. oh wait..
Twats.
The problem is always the same – the cost of taking action. But I reckon this guy would be entitled to damages.

He doesn’t need to isolate unless he’s had a positive test.
He hasn’t even had a test – or they would declare it!
A negative test result would allow him to go straight back into circulation. He’s just hiding – again!
Top comment on the Mail’s headline article:
I’m sure someone creative could write the rest of the song – “old man Bill, he had a lab” etc.
Just got back from the local quacks dropping off the wife’s repeat prescription.
Signs everywhere – walls, doors, floors etc – all point to the “flu jab clinic”.
Not one person, anywhere, at all except the nurse on the door in full PPE and me.
Not quite sure who is getting the flu jab but not many round our way going by how deserted the clinic is.
Nineteen million missed dental appointments due to the lockdowns, it is reported.
DIY as in olden days with a large whisky and a robust pair of pliers will save the NHS another pile of money and release dentists for redeployment elsewhere in the Covid service.
And is that on top of at least 26 million fewer GP appointments? How are they going to try and spin the massive excess deaths we’ll see over the next few years?
with Covid…
Which one? Covid 19, Covid 21 or Covid 23?
I am having to pay £270 to have a wisdom tooth removed because the NHS won’t allow dentists to operate under them. I asked about going onto NHS treatment later and I was told that it will take ‘months, if not years’ to get through the backlog. NHS dentistry is done.

Those were my exact thoughts. When you are allowed to open up properly again I’m driving out to Saffron Walden to shake you by the hand.
It’s a long way from Lancashire to Saffron Walden and I’ve not been there for many a year, but you sound like a good reason to make the trip!
The difficult thing is that you are almost certainly going to need a vaccination for any International travel ( and that may include between England, Scotland, Wales & N Ireland) and it may also become a condition of carriage on main line trains. I think they will let it be voluntary it will just be that to take that option you will have to live like a hermit in a cave. I will hold on as long as possible but some of our family are going back to work in Africa for a few years and we will want to visit, if there are still flights? and so for us it will be vaccination or do not see your family, I expect in the end we’ll have to take the jab.
Currently illegal to try that though
You need vaccination against certain ‘killers’ to fly in and out of some countries. Not inconceivable that it will be extended. And of course airlines can introduce their own criteria as private companies.
Not sure about within the UK, or on trains, but yes, for international travel it’s very likely to be mandatory. I do – or did, before the Hysteria set in – a significant amount of international travel, so it’s a bit of a worry for me. The best I can hope for is that whatever vaccine comes to the fore will be well and truly tested by human lab rats before I have to have it.
It won’t happen
IDs are already being rolled out for international travel.
Take the jab, if you are tired of living or being remotely well, or just plain stupid.
For those who think that the coming vaccines are about protecting from coronavirus infection Hancock & Co are doing a special deal on those very famous Brooklyn bridges. Be quick though, as stocks are limited, until next delivery.
Any form of compulsory forced medical treatment – particularly involving a novel vaccine – must go against a whole slew of human rights laws – the thought of people being rounded up by police and forcibly injected is utterly repugnant to anybody with a shred of humanity
You can chose to take the vaccine under consent, and I might do if it is demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt to be fully safe – nobody should ever be made to have it

The power of NSU etc leftist leaders was never controlled, certainly not be any conserv politicians.
If Sweden does actually catch up with The Madness then we really are in trouble.
Or it means the whole thing is coming to a head.
How might it, out of interest?
In my opinion, this whole affair is very likely to do with a financial reset, which in effect will be a massive debt jubilee.
This will have to be global.
Sweden getting with the program, will show we are one step closer to that happening.
That might be the end of this but the start of something much worse.
A debt jubilee for who? I can’t see Mr Unwashed being a beneficiary, unless of course part of the deal is to sell yourself into permanent UBI slavery and forfeit all your worldly goods..
There has never been a deviation from the trend on deaths. Cases should be disregarded.
We know that but their politicians are now caving into it.
In what way?
They’re planning a curfew and now a rule of 8, as posted lower down. Even if it’s just advisory it’s not good news that they’re jumping on international bandwagons.
Well if that’s the case so be it. I think the anti Sweden rhetoric has been firmly consigned to the bin given we are almost in December.
I’m expecting another blast of that with “ha ha Sweden got it wrong!”
Mainly the government diktat bandwagons, although the fact they’re doing it just as the “vaccines” are readied for deployment is probably not just a coincidence.
If it does, then we will still keep fighting. If it doesn’t then everyone other Government will continue to ignore them. Try not pay too much attention to rumours about what might be going on there.
It’s another defeat for our cause, MSM and zealots will be celebrating that “they got it wrong.”
It’s inevitable sadly. They must be under huuuuuge amounts of pressure.
It has been speculated on here before that Sweden has been a control arm this whole time. Now it’s been decided it’s not needed anymore and can catch up with everywhere else.
Equally plausible is that their politicians are under the same pressure ours are under, domestically, from a fearful populace and evil media
Maybe that too but still bad news, the bandwagon is an exclusively one-way vehicle.

There will come a time when this particular crisis of illiberalism is past, and we will be tempted to concentrate on other more urgent issues, and our anger will have faded with time.
That’s when we will need to remind ourselves of how we are feeling now, of the depths these scumbags in office and in authority and influence plunged us to, in their pathetic panic, using our own tax money to propagandise and manipulate people around us into sharing their fear, and blaming us for the suffering inflicted by the crimes they commit.
Newsletter from Ari Whitten on 12/11/20
I’m incredibly excited to announce the results of a new “vaccine” study.
Unlike Pfizer’s recent announcement, this one is actually solid, statistically significant data that has already been published in a medical journal and peer-reviewed.
Get ready for it… This is mind-blowing stuff. (And make sure to read all the way to the end — because there is an important surprise!).
First, here’s what the prestigious, top-tier medical journal, the British Medical Journal said about the results of this study: “Although this was a small trial, the intensive care unit (ICU) results are so dramatic that they are statistically highly significant.”
SO HERE’S THE STUDY…
Researchers randomly assigned 76 people with moderate to severe C19 into the vaccine group (50 patients) or no-vaccine (26 patients) group on the day they entered the hospital.
RESULTS…
This means that the ‘vaccine’ led to a mind-blowing 93% reduction in odds of ICU admission!
Amazing, right?
This ‘vaccine’ could save untold hundreds of thousands or millions of lives! It’s a huge breakthrough!
Here’s the best part… It wasn’t actually a vaccine that was given in this study! …It was actually VITAMIN D!
(So in my description of the study above, just replace my words “vaccine” with “vitamin D” and you have the real study.) 🙂
Yes, really. This a real study — it was just published. Here’s the link to the study if you want to check it out.
Now, why did I present this information this way? Why did I portray it as a “vaccine” instead of telling you it was vitamin D?
To make this one important point: Can you imagine the publicity that this study would be getting right now if these SAME exact results were on a vaccine instead of vitamin D?
We would be seeing MASSIVE publicity all over the world. It would be hailed as an amazing breakthrough and the media would be talking about its potential to save hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives.
But the same thing for vitamin D??? We have crickets in the media and from public health authorities.
Isn’t that an interesting phenomenon to think deeply about? Why aren’t the public health authorities and media talking about this? (Please think about the whys behind this phenomenon).
Please be aware… no matter what you hear in the media, you DO have options to minimize your risks. You do have power to do more than simply wait for a vaccine.
You do have the ability to take charge of your health, improve your metabolic health and dramatically reduce your risks. (We know that metabolic health is by far, the best predictor of risk, next to old age. And we now know that vitamin D status is one of the other critical players in predicting risk of severe C19).
2 of the control group died? Really?
The legislation in the US that allows approvals for vaccines to be granted emergency use, has a clause that says that this approval will be given if there is NO OTHER alternative which will give comparable results.
Why do you think HCQ was squashed remorselessly?
No great publicity will be given to any remedy outside money making vaccines, and especially those using new tech.
The absurdity of it all:
I feel something so big is going on here beyond our view. A website I dismissed years ago as bunk has taken on new meaning to me with all that’s been happening over the last year, and now the threat of mandatory vaccinations being voiced. Also reinforced after reading somewhere this covid-19 project was a 5 year plan finishing in March 2025.
I think it was around 2016 I first became aware of the site and its global depopulation forecasts. Read the ‘disclaimer’ at the bottom of the page.
https://www.deagel.com/forecast
Predicted 2025 UK population 14 million, down 78% from 65 million.
I have two daughters and three little innocent grandchildren and feel desperately responsible for their safety but feel so impotent despite the fact I’ve never been a risk averse individual.
They must want to use our nukes on us then..
God knows! Such a beautiful world, heaven on earth, but always a tiny minority and their useful idiots want to trash it
Looking at those projections – the USA is predicted a similar hit. Best move to Russia then by the looks of it.
Yeah.. I’ve just put Vlad on my Christmas Card list..
I look at something like the potential disaster waiting to happen that is Sellafield which would also explain the population decline in Ireland.
Have they done away with the population forecasts? They were there a few months ago, but I can’t find them now.
That link in my post should take you to the forecast page..
Ah, hover text – thanks.
Until recently it was textualised.
Honestly if this was the plan. They’ve got to have Covid-20 up their sleeve. Because I honestly can’t see how it can be sustained into a mass vaccination cull
The forecaasts are predicated on financial collapse. resulting in health and age care systems in developed countries being obliterated. along with other cascade effects, such as civil strife, as various groups fight over dwindling resources.
When one notes the demographic structure of our societies, together with the the number of chronically ill, then one can begin to imagine that it might be possible.
Wasn’t it Maurice Strong, he of the Club of Rome, founder of the IPCC and Climate Change scam that wanted to bring about the collapse of the richer industrialised nations..
“If we don’t change, our species will not survive… Frankly, we may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.”

The Deagel forecast as I recall is based on the internal dynamics of economies and societies.
Yes, all that stuff turned out to be true. It’s a bit like Mein Kamf – he said he would do it, and then people were surprised when he did do it.

Well, if you and this person consider yourselves to be in an “established relationship”, you won’t be breaking the rules, as Matt Hancock coyly explained to journalists when they asked him for the government’s justification for making having a sexual relationship with anyone outside your household illegal. He said, the rules did not apply to people in an established relationship and declined to defined the phrase, saying that the people involved would know.
Smashing. No reason to watch T.V at 5pm then.
What, another bloody Clown Show?
Here’s something that I find puzzling. In all the government’s responses to the coronavirus, the one response that has been a positive is the immediate finding of accommodation for all the people living on the streets. Yet, government ministers never mention this success. Never. I would have thought they would have wanted to take the credit for the achievement, after all, they had spent the previous decade telling us that it was a seriously complex problem that the government could do little about as it was a result of the dysfunctional choices of the street dwellers themselves and that such people refused to accept the help available. And yet they solved this incredibly intractable problem overnight. Why aren’t they celebrating their success?
It’s probably not on their radar – they are looking at the bigger picture
Because they kicked them all out again?
Let’s be honest, with the amount of money being thrown at this, we could have pretty much eradicated societal problems like poverty and homelessness. Probably several times over. It’s all part of the deception.
So true.
So this covid thing must be pretty important.
The government took over many local hotels, some run by the Britannia Group. One of these in my area which is one of the most expensive areas in London.
hmmm
They are now accommodating illegal migrants in hotels, I guess they don’t want to draw attention to this.
They’ve been doing that for years and years and years.
Matt practices in front of a mirror every chance he gets. Like Pierre Léaud in that Francois Truffault film ‘Stolen Kisses’: Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel …
But since March 23rd we have been living under a tyranny. When Sir Graham Brady says that if these measures were in place in a totalitarian state we would condemn them as evil, he is totally correct. Only trouble is, our politicians are happily in thrall to the diktats of mad scientists.and they all love having power over us. Any ideas for a revolution eagerly received

One request…. really don’t want a special part of my anatomy associated with those psychopaths. It’s a giving me a very bad sensation worse than feeling sick
Sorry, couldn’t resist…

If you look up the Constitution of the WHO, the first principle laid down is:
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” (1946)

Not the only ones riding rough shod over constitutions are they.
Re Moderna, from BBC news.
95% of scientists agree with those that fund them.
“It is likely that convincing evidence in respect to deaths will probably only be obtained when the vaccine is in use.” he didn’t actually say that, did he?
And this: “A wide range of people with illnesses and from minority groups were included in the trials”. What is all this garbage about? They are only ‘minority groups’ in specific locations. Black people are not a so-called minority group on a global basis.
blacks will always be an oppressed minority. Get with the 2020 PC agenda.
However did they manage to infect the control group??
Moderna’s earlier ‘incarnation’ was as the company IG Farben, who made Zyklon B, used in the concentration camps…
Mmm… what “placebo” were the control group given?
Has wan-cock been nicked yet?
Sir Matt. As he will be one day when we are all on universal credit.
This Covid stuff dominated most of my year due to my job. Initially I was scared, especially so for my kids. But even at the start I was worried about over reaction and had a sense that the odds were in my favour.
Then as I realised the full reality of it. I just became angry, and more and more angry as it got ever more political. You can’t even catch it and be allowed to get better in this world. It’s insanity.
But days like today when Gobshite Boris lies to the world I am left with little but contempt to supplement my anger and I feel like giving up. These people risk blasting us back to the Stone Age and far too many others seem to think their masks and compliance will somehow save them.
Specific to Boris today, if you honestly believe he did not know of a “risk”within 5 minutes of Anderson being ill on Friday then you must also honestly believe the world is flat.
It simply does not work that way, even allowing for Anderson finding out on Saturday / Sunday, Johnson’s private office would be all over this before any dope from NHS would have been in touch. That’s the reality of high office. There are no surprises. Funny how he was not in chequers this past weekend, no ?
Humanity always risked being over rated but I never expected to find myself on the desks of the Titanic @ 1:30 am and being played a jolly tune by the orchestra…..
Nothing seems likely to come along and stop this now, no judicial review, No media, no political opposition, nothing !
no life boats or big boats in the distance, it’s done. And the band played on.
That’s how they want you to feel. Don’t give them that pleasure.
And don’t give yourself a bad conscience, a year from now when it really will be bad if they win
Absolutely don’t give up now!
They are pushing so blatantly they think they’ve won but they have no reason for complacency.
Don’t give up now. We’ve come so far. We’re still waiting on a judgement in the Dolan case. The longer this takes, the more the judges are clearly asking questions and researching the Law.
Hang on in there…
Hang in there fella. Its a bloody awful rollercoaster of emotional shit for sure. We will win this. Don’t let the buggers grind you down, as my old Dad would have said.

WTF! They haven’t got any lab flu in NZ. This does not bode well.
And it sounds like they are still on with antisocial distancing.
I thought they had pretty much eradicated it due to shutting themselves off from the rest of the world so why the need for the muzzles??
Becasue Kiwis evidently aren’t scared enough and they’ll soon need to flog dodgy vaccines.
All that glee at having beaten the virus and being the envy of the world. And yet, they are still being humiliated by following junk science. So what was the point of the last 9 months
But they’ve got no Covid! It’s official!
Back from a successful day’s leafletting. Real shift in mood. Talk to those who are asking questions rather than brainwashed people. Now’s the time to get out there. Increase the number of activists. Late teens especially.

not sure on the full story here but it seems like a positive development in Denmark
Let’s hope so!
Here’s some background on the proposed Danish epidemic law.
And a short video showing the protests.
I haven’t yet found any links about the proposal being rejected.
These bastards just won’t give up. From the Telegraph live feed:
‘We still have a long road to travel’ despite vaccine hopes, warns WHO
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organisation, said that a “vaccine on its own will not end the pandemic”.
He told the global health body’s executive board meeting: “Since the beginning of the pandemic, we knew that a vaccine would be essential for bringing the pandemic under control.
“But it’s important to emphasise that a vaccine will complement the other tools we have, not replace them. A vaccine on its own will not end the pandemic.
“Initially, supply will be limited, so health workers, older people and other at-risk populations will be prioritised.”
He added: “We still have a long road to travel.”
So if a vaccine won’t end the ‘pandemic’ what the bloody hell will? “Other tools”, what, like those that work in the WHO?
health id then?
Treatment won’t end the pandemic.
Vaccine won’t end the pandemic.
Non pharmaceutical interventions won’t end the pandemic.
No amount of personal sacrifice will end the pandemic.
Nature itself won’t end the pandemic.
So what will ? Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes gang.
Sadly, I think a lot of people would go along with that strategy as long as it ‘saves one life’!
The World Health Organisation is the virus. They’re a fascistic organisation terrorising the world. How did they get such power?
Things are bad in Canada. Here’s Justin Trudeau

The World HORROR Organisation .
As James Delingpole says – ‘its not a conspiracy if there telling us what they’re going to do’
Rocco Galati is the constitutional lawyer who is suing the various levels of government for the Covid response. I’m a member of the organization that hired him and I have donated to his Constitutional Rights Centre. He’s one of the few hopes I have for this country. He has always known this was about the Great Reset, which is no secret since it’s all out there for anyone to see and our PM and his acolytes have been spewing the Build Back Better nonsense since the beginning of this insanity.
Talking today to a station/platform type of person ref masks.
He first said optimistically that it’ll be over by March/April and we’ll be rid of the things …. as he spoke and I said nothing his voice tailed off and he seemed to realise as he spoke that wouldn’t be the case.
I’ve just been reading about Tedros in Pam Popper’s book. Proper shady character. Seems to have been involved in many scandals in Ethiopia including membership of a terrorist group and no small amount of ethnic cleansing. He nominated Robert Mugabe as a WHO Ambassador. Also has no medical qualifications.
Clear eugenics if you are aiming to get rid of anyone who is physically ‘weak’ and not able to work..
on Steve Bannon’s War Room on You tube Raheem Kassam has just explained how Carrie Symons (who he knows) if full on left wing globalist into the Great Reset and has been aiming to get rid of Cummins for over six months to stop Brexit.

oh, so it is bad news then, Cummings going. I was coming to that conclusion 🙁
No he was scared of getting CCP Virus. So no use at all, tough guy turned coward.
Who’d have thought that she was a Globalist apparatchik!? 😉
War room is a good source of info – definitely recommended. Pity the 2nd broadcast each day is late in the evening for us, but one can always watch it the following morning 🙂
Why would I get vaccinated if even when Johnson has anti-bodies enough from a verified severe infection he is supposed to go through a 14 day self isolation… CANT THESE FUCKWITTS SEE THE INCONSISTENCY? Heaven help us.
I’m sure they can see it, but they tell themselves that we can’t.

Informed Consent and the Government’s Legal PositionRe: New guidance from the GMC: what constitutes meaningful dialogue? Daniel Sokol. 371:doi 10.1136/bmj.m3933
Dear Editor
As I understand it the British government’s legal position over vaccination presently hinges on informed consent [1]. The citizen or patient makes a decision on what should be a full disclosure of the benefits and risks [2], and while the patient may theoretically be able to sue if something goes wrong the risk in the first place lies with the patient rather than state or the manufacturer.
But surely the government will put itself in an invidious positon and undermine its own legal defence if it seeks to limit public discussion about products and promotes a public hue and cry over citizens accepting them [3,4,5].
I am not for a second suggesting that anyone ought to be able to promote false information about products only that they must be allowed to discuss them publicly in a normal, civilised way like anything else [6]. Otherwise the legal condition for informed consent will not exist, and the government may nullify its position, particularly if relevant information was prevented from coming to public light by its actions.

My recent submission for the Turner Prize.
I was gonna say that!
I’m just trying to tease out all of the hidden subterranean meanings and the structure of the subtextual semiotics Laura.
mmm – what message does it have for the post-modern world
Well, in a post-modern context; I would surmise that (from a feminist and gender neutral perspective) the structural nature of the ‘perception of world inclusive and diversity context’ is apparent. However, on reflection, regarding the colour and shape of the exhibit and having consulted my esteemed colleagues, it’s a load of shit.
That planks wear masks.
Its a winner!
YAY!
They are as useful now as they were before being on the floor… Great message!

Just saying if we do actually lose this then I will be gone, no question. If the braindead are fine with global dystopian hell then they can fucking enjoy it themselves. Death will be the only escape, they might finally understand that one day.

Me and Mrs Awkward feeling the same so you are not alone with these thoughts.

II just received an unsolicited email from Prof Martin McKee at Marchforchange.
I’ve reported this as spam. If anyone else gets one can I suggest you do the same.
Yes I got the same – I’ve had a few now, no idea how they got my details
It seems we will be having a “Normal” Christmas after all. Among the pile of junk mail on my door mat was a glossy leaflet from a local garden centre. There was not One. Single. Mention. of Covid, Lockdown restrictions, Muzzle wearing or Anti-social Distancing anywhere to be seen! Considering what a largish mail-shot must cost, that seems pretty brave of them…
A “normal” Christmas after all – that’s nice of them, but we’re still being played. I think the government has realised that it cannot enforce Christmas restrictions if enough people decide to break them. So to avoid loss of face, they will step back over Christmas and tighten up again afterwards.
Remember a couple of weeks ago, the police in Bristol could not control a party in the woods involving something like five hundred young people. They had to appeal to two other forces to assist. A ‘lockdown’ Christmas could lead to an astonishing and highly visible loss of control – which could become permanent.
Normal Christmas in the U.K. involves very little advertising of the word “Christmas” That’s sickening on its own.
Am I missing something, or do many of the symptoms of “long Covid” sound very similar to myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.)? Horrid, but not new, and commonly thought to occur after a viral infection.
Or stress and fatigue caused by lockdown and Piers Morgan?
post viral infection. Easily solved by fixing nutrient deficiencies
It’s clearly nothing new. I had a proper rough time for ages after a nasty dose of glandular fever in my early 20s. But everyone wants to get in on the action now, so “long covid” it is.
Me too. I ended up in hospital, took weeks to fully recover. No one really cared, it was just one of those things. Certainly no one shut down my university or set up a dedicated rehabilitation centre for me…
I suspect a lot of it is hysteria, psychosomatic and caused by “the fear”
Sorry if already posted, but this is potentially good news
https://thedailycoin.org/2020/05/31/german-official-leaks-report-denouncing-corona-as-a-global-false-alarm/
It seems that the German Govt are unable to rebut the report of a panel which advised back in May that the consequences of lockdown were worse than the disease, and that Corona was a false alarm. Sound familiar?
And this week Reiner Fuellmich is serving writs against Droster at al?
Oh please, it would be good to see some really good news
The Covid Cabal, or the global entity that’s pushing the Great Reset in every country won’t be happy, and I’m guessing they are more powerful. Fuellmich is brave, and perhaps naive. I don’t think the courts can save us when politicians are prostituting themselves for the Covid Cabal
Look, heads up guys – if Fuellmich does not get something happening then nobody but nobody will be able to. He is under no illusion, but he’s one of the few, and we should be joining him. One of his friends got confined to a mental hospital for speaking out – that’s not naive, that’s doing all he can with the tools at his disposal. He’s trying to get people to join him, and is calling for public support!
On the other hand, this is bad. Watch it all you reset people – Trudeau is saying it as it is, nothing oblique here.
https://twitter.com/derf_anon/status/1327967377447936001
I’m too scared to watch that. Canadian politicians are calling for concentration camps FFS!.. What happened to Canada?
Convert the fear to anger, to cold fury, and get to work
They don’t call them concentration camps, they’re “voluntary quarantine facilities.” Trudeau is the biggest China-loving globalist around and I fear for my country, but most of all my children. Canadians have always been sheeple as we’ve had to differentiate ourselves from our US neighbours by being “kinder” and more communitarian. Canadians are begging for a Melbourne-style lockdown now. I even read a comment the other day from someone who lives in a house but thought it would be a great idea to “allow” apartment and condominium dwellers to only leave their units every other day — odd floors one day, even the next — and prevent the elevators from stopping on the floors that weren’t allowed out that day. That would work really well during a fire or health emergency. With assholes like that I couldn’t be happier we sold our Toronto condo and, as of tomorrow, are living permanently in the country.
Just researching this mrna vaccine and another convenient ‘benefit’ raised its head. It appears that if ‘successful’ these vaccines would be easier to produce, manufacture at scale and lower cost (as they do not need the virus present). In a benevolent world this may seem worth pursuing. However, the cynic tells me this means we would be getting vaccinated regularly at a high margin of profits for Big Pharma.
Based on available information, By March 2021 I am guessing that this Gov will have borrowed/spent £2B (£2,000,000,000) on this so called pandemic. Furloughs, track and trace, Nightingales, loss of tax base, vaccines, knock on economic losses. This is money which will never be, directly, paid. It will be recouped from future generations by loss of life quality and soon from pension funds, savers and inflation.
My question is what happens next time China decides to develop and release a virus. This could be an annual event. We simply wont be able to waste all this ‘money’ again.
Also the human cost. The young are being asked to sacrifice their whole lives to protect a group of people who’ve already lived their whole lives free
Two billion? Should that be two-hundred billion?
Yeah, 2 billion seems very low. Furlough alone sits at around 40 billion:
What kind of jobs do people on furlough do? It seems like a lot of people are back at work now. Is the bulk of them made up with people directly in the entertainments and hospitality sector?
It would be interesting to see a more detailed break by job type of who is still off sick.
I am in aviation and furloughed. Most airlines seem to be rotating staff on and off of the scheme.
I think if you include likely future losses as the original poster mentions then it’s going be trillions, not billions.
I work for a major financial ratings agency, the CEO mentioned in a town hall meeting to the staff last week that governments around the world have so far spend 8% of last year’s global GDP on “fighting” Covid. According to my maths[1], that is about $7 trillion.
To put it in context, total government revenues of OECD countries in 2018 was about $14 trillion [2].
It is being paid for by central banks across the West just “printing” money, because politicians have convinced themselves that Modern Monetary Theory[3] is real and works.
[1] 2019 GDP was $87.8 trillion, so 8% of that.
https://databank.worldbank.org/data/download/GDP.pdf
[2] https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=RS_GBL
[3] https://www.investopedia.com/modern-monetary-theory-mmt-4588060
They don’t add credit guarantees and as of yet uncalled upon but agreed commitments to those figures.
For Germany that amounts to well over 1000 billions already.
Note also, that GDPs would have contracted far more if the governments hadn’t stepped in.
A country with minus 7% GDP this year really saw the private sector being down 25% that year.
Swedens – 4% is much more healthy with government debt up 10% than another countries minus 4% with government debt up 25% and further likely to be written down loan guarantees of 25%….

Fast forward to 29:00……
Still a brilliant listen.

The Treehouse is Deplatformed…
WordPress have been doing this for years.

So I’ve a lot to report from my day of leafletting – part 1
I went to Wimbledon which has a small-town feel to it, and found plenty of positive responses. The leaflet is invaluable, and Mabel Cow’s front page is now exactly right for the mood. I usually handed the leaflet over with the picture folded inside, which was less confrontational and worked well. Here’s my leaflet, to remind you
https://www.beautyandthebeastlytruth.com/post/covid-rules-sayno-use-this-to-print-your-own-leaflet
Mabel did the front, I did the text, and a friend got the PDF and printing done #TeamWork.
There’s quite a steep hill in Wimbledon and this was the best place to go, because people can see you as you stand there, and you aren’t suddenly confronting people. I did wonder if the steep slope gives people’s brains the opportunity to see things from a different perspective, I think that’s possible.
Several people took it eagerly and thanked me. Next time I need to carry with me a slip of paper with the links for the campaign groups, the ones doing marches.
It’s still a small minority, but my aim soon became clear, to convert people who are worried into people who are activists, whether in their own circle, or coming here, or what have you.
At the other extreme met a doctor who says “I’m a doctor” and absolutely we must have lockdown. I said the PCR tests aren’t accurate, no she said they are completely accurate. I asked her if she knows better than Prof Yeadon and she threatened to call the police – said I was harassing her. Anyone know at what point talking to someone becomes formal harassment? She did’t ask me to go away, just asked if I wanted the police, and started texting someone as well which was a bit freaky. Hope I never come across anyone like her as a doctor – there was nil human connection, nothing but heartless cold eyes.
I think a leaflet specifically on the subject of PCR tests would be good. Anyone seen one?
More later, I’m tired!
Brilliant work. You’re a total star Rosie.
Wow, the evil doctor sounds evil….
She said she was a doctor.What’s the proof she was one?
If you are to meet the doctor you might just say one word “Metrology” – not meterology.
It sounds cryptic, but metrology is the study of measurement. And most people have no clue about it yet will happily accept that something is “accurate” without understanding how it came to be “accurate”
Probably not a doctor at all. I’ve never met a doctor who volunteers their profession, and I’ve met quite a lot having doctors and nurse in the family.
Witch doctor, more likely!
Well done, Rosie.
Great effort!
More later, I really am tired!
But now’s the time – go and speak to people – do – if you want this to stop, right now is the critical moment. Don’t be shy, don’t delay, and don’t wait any longer.
Don’t waste you time on Lockdown Believers, but devote it to people who are worried – ask them what they think, don’t scare them further unless they are already aware of the plans, there’s a lot of opposition to vaccination so encourage that, and get them into activism as well.
When people threaten you with the police you know they feel threatened by what you say and know they have no real defence.
One of the things this situation has confirmed to me is how little actual knowledge GPs seem to have. I can only think they are so mind-numbingly bored with diagnosing the same thing day after day that their critical faculties become blunted.
Hi Rosie People i know find it easier to put them through doors as you have a map and just cross of each street as you do it .Best also to do in the morning start about 9 as doing it in the evening is disturbing people as they are eating and people don’t want noise at the door if dark .Get a map of the area and photocopy in to sections ,get your people into groups of two and give a section each .As they cover their section they mark off each street as done and when finished bring the sheet back to you ,then you mark what they did onto master copy map .All organised and no one goes over old ground .When finished move to next map and repeat .
Love your doctor moment, she was probably thinking that you might just spoil her Covid vaccination pay off. May she rot in hell.
Just epic !
Susan Hopkins, public health England epidemiologist has said the new antigen test has a false positive rate of less than 5 in a thousand. She then said that 100,000 people had been tested in Liverpool and that 700 positives had resulted. So by my arithmetic that means around 500 of these were false positives…?!
Indeed. And nobody in the MSM will notice or understand this.
It’s almost like she had her GCSE maths exam cancelled.
Yes. People often misunderstand that it is a percentage of the positives but it is a percentage of the overall number tested. With such a low rate of infection most of it is “noise”. I told this very clearly to my MP about the PCR false positives weeks ago. Silence was the reply.
Likewise, I explained all of to our MP with references to back up my claims and silence as well.
Similar experience from me. Sent three emails since August about PCR. Ignored despite dynamite stuff from journals and FOIs awkward git on here obtained. Tumbleweed. Then I see this today on his FB page. Banging on about a flu vaccine shortage he warned about last year
It’s a percentage of the negatives. Which is basically the same as a percentage of the total tested when prevalence is as low as it is now.
If 99% of people had Covid and your test had a 1% FPR you’d need to test about 10000 people to find even one false positive.
Ah, but they tested asymptomatics so the FP rate actually increases. Less prevalence, more FPs.
Oops, commented before seeing your post.
Someone suggested in a Telegraph comment that the 700 positives might be a final total following elimination of the false positives, so 1200 original “positives”. If so, they must have re-tested all positives. Any thoughts?
700? I thought it was more like 400-odd?
These maths work if you assume really high sensitivity (example 4).
Example 1:
100,000 are tested. None currently have it. Specificity (false positive rate of test) set at 0.995 (5 in a thousand).
= 0 true positives, 500 false positives
Example 2:
100,000 tested. 1% have it (1000 of this group). Sensitivity could be estimated at 0.8 (200 in a thousand false negatives). Specificity is 0.995 (5 in a thousand).
= 800 true positives, 200 false negatives, 495 false positives
Example 3:
100,000 tested. 0.2% have it (200 of this group). Sensitivity also 0.8. Specificity also 0.995.
= 160 true positives, 40 false negatives, 499 false positives
Example 4:
100,000 tested. 0.2% have it (200 of this group). Sensitivity 0.99. Specificity 0.995.
= 198 true positives, 2 false negatives, 499 false positives
On Channel 4 at 9pm tonight there is a programme called Lockdown Chaos
What expectations should we have for it raising the issues that need to be addressed?
The only chaos is that caused by the government!
0% – i can only imagine it will be saying that the lockdown should have been earlier/stricter/longer…
reminds me of this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x84m3YyO2oU
With a sprinkle of “New Zealand did this” and “Trump is baaaaad”
It’s not chaos. It’s deliberate. To make us suffer so that we accept the Great Reset (vaccines, immunity passports etc)
It’s deliberate chaos. They love it, order from chaos.
And no doubt everything will be ‘because of Covid’ and most certainly not ‘because of lockdown’.
I said to Mr CGL yesterday when we saw the trailer that we mustn’t get our hopes up- it will be the disaster of not locking down sooner and the disastrous t&t system and the testing. This is channel 4 after all – we can’t possibly expect more.
When lockdown was introduced, did you find many of the businesses closures were irrational. I can understand night clubs, theatres and cinemas have largers numbers in close proximity to each other. I can never understand why so called non essential shops were forced to close. Clothes, electrical and book shops are often very big and it is easy for cusomters to stay apart even with a large number of customers in the store. These shops often don’t have a large numbers of customers in store. In hotels guests stay in their rooms and don’t mingle with each other. The amount staying in a hotel will vary. The cafe in my local Tesco is huge and customers can easily stay apart from each other. I am sure there are other similar restaurants. How can clothes and electrical shops be classed as non essential.
Do you feel that even in a real pandemic with an infectious and dangerous disease about, closing the business described above could not be justified and the purpose of closing so many types businesses was psychological and designed to give the message “covid is so bad we have to close a hugh range of businesses” which scares the population.
Yes, it’s the government hitting us with psychology – and they are piss poor at it.
Either that or some of us have natural immunity!
I’d have to say, regretfully, they’re bloody brilliant at it.
It’s the only thing they got right, unfortunately for the people!
Yes, I had to laugh so much when a very expensive clothes shop in my town displayed a sign max 6 customers at once. I was like, you are lucky if you get 6 customers A DAY!
Closing of businesses is to create unemployment and to allow the rich to pick off the failed businesses cheap. Destruction to create the Great Reset
Looking for logic in what the government do is futile – unless the logic is political expediency, appearances and theatre
Also it makes no sense – everyone has to crowd into supermarkets to get what they want, rather than spreading out between shops. It’s counterproductive.
Just came across this website which graphs ONS data – probably already posted previously. Very clear and well presented.
https://adapnation.io/covid-insights/
It does look good – but they’ve got the mask mandate date wrong. It was 24 July, and there’s is recorded as around 12 June. Couldn’t find a contact or comment address
Was the public transport mandate the 12th
Following my post yesterday about cats, this in the DM: “Do dogs spread coronavirus?”
The government has now spent months securing for itself the power of absolute authority: above God and religion, truth, morality, family ties, your children, your body. It makes you wonder if they’re testing how far they can push you. Can they achieve an Orwellian devotion to Big Brother above anything else? Can they keep updating and varying ‘the guidance’ so that you learn submission to mere will, rather than law?
The British are noted for their love of animals. Is this a further frontier for HMG – to drive a wedge between you and what you love, thus proving your endless, undying loyalty to the Covid-cult? “Protect your neighbours from Covid even if it means killing their cats.”
Been part of the green Agenda 2030 for a long time – pets are not sustainable according to the new green gods.
Judging by the numbers of outdoors nappy wearers I’d say submission by will is pretty much complete
No so much here in Sussex.
Oh good – I’ll add that to the list of places to visit (goodness knows when!)
Hmm, not sure that’s true where I am – more outside wearers, definitely 🙁
Authority has always been the dominant superstition.
Take the Christians for example. Their book tells them that their God is the highest authority. They are commanded directly by their God not to kill, yet they are content to let ‘their representatives’ order thousands of deaths in far off lands. Perhaps they believe that the commandments of their God can be dismissed on a technicality.
And authority is a superstition. We confer the title ‘Government’ on average, or very often below average, human beings, and we expect this will give them superpowers of morallity or organisation, or fairness. It does not. No matter how fancy and elaborate the buildings, titles or rituals that they use are, you still get the same old authoritarian shit.
Government, authority, is anti-human, and always will be. The leading cause of unnatural death in the last century was Government. It is a blight and a curse. Follow their thousands of arbitrary commandments or be kidnapped, robbed, threatened or confined by the violence of the state.
Sadly, it takes an overt demonstration of authoritarianism before the ‘sensible grown up people’ begin see it for what it is.
So, not content with taking away our means of making a living; stopping us from seeing relatives or friends, restricting all social life (closing pubs restaurants, social clubs and gyms) they now want to kill our pets.
Imagine for a moment an elderly person unable to see family of friends but has a pet. This may be the only comfort he or she has, the only companion and they look forward to their daily walk.
What disgusting psychopath would take that away?
Hancock.
As the toffs always get looked after, I expect hunting dogs will be exempt. I’ll have to train the bulldogs to point.
What a jeffing legend.
Excellent article in TCW:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/wholl-grab-the-steering-wheel-from-out-of-control-johnson/
I left the comment below. Interestingly, the poster below me, “Jean Claude Junket” was foremost among those slating me for it. He’s come a long, long way since March:
Elderly Germans recognise this from their youth. They’ve seen it before.
Indeed they have. And East Germans have seen it even more recently.
A great article. Yes, I agree with the author that there is something seriously wrong with Johnson. It’s no use trying to work out what he’s doing on rational grounds because he is a psychopath or similar. This is obscured by the ‘scientists’ who seem to back his destruction of the country, but this is because they, too, are psychopaths. Not all scientists are like this, such as the signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration, but their humility and admirable lack of blind certainty makes them less persuasive to the public.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/coronavirus-nhs-staff-flock-to-anti-vax-group-k8sq7q63w
NHS anti-vax group.
I know what you mean, but don’t let the MSM label the idea of being opposed to an undertested Covid vaccination as ‘anti-vax’.
The term ‘anti-vax’, complete with negative connotations, will come just too handy for the Hancocks of this world. I’m afraid it’s too late.
Ffs, they are opposed to a vaccination. But we shouldn’t let the msm call them anti-vax ?
(The desperation is only surpassed by the missing means we could use to stop the msm calling anything anything. ).
What’s the opposite of ‘anti-vax?’ I assume it’s “immune system denier”!
“Covid vaccine cautious. After you.”
Anti this particular hardly tested vax – we need a new word for it don’t we.
It was how The Times headlined it.
And I typed the above without having looked at all the suggestions already posted! Well done you lot!
In the Mail too – comments overwhelmingly sceptical.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8952939/NHS-workers-join-anti-vaxxer-group-compares-Pfizer-jab-poison-opposed-masks.html#comments
Except this absolute classic:
“Look have it or don’t have it. Just don’t come crying to the NHS if you catch and die from covid in the meantime,”
A voice from the Tomb.
That’s going to be tough on them, since presumably they’ll be compelled to have it.
I believe the lady in the photo has said she’ll resign first, so I suppose it will be full of ex-NHS staff by that time

I think may we have another ‘exponential’ thing happening eh?
Also anti-nappy and anti-test.
Hallelujah.
Seriously, what and when will be the ‘tipping point’ when a majority of the population say ‘ENOUGH’. I’m really starting to lose what limited patience I had. I have days of feeling sheer rage at the stupidity and seriousness of the whole situation.
Is eight months of this dystopian crap, coupled with mass unemployment, mental health hell, being locked up, the mandating of hideous, useless, humiliating face nappies and now the threat of mandatory vaccines still not enough for them?
I only wish I had their patience. Wait, why are they suddenly so patient? You give way for too long at a roundabout and people behind you go mental. Take away their broadband for ten minutes and they have a hissy fit. But the above? Total legit!
Totally with you.
Mind you i get a lot of road rage too – i have to take it out on someone!
When I go to see my family in Essex I am coming to your cafe!
Better get a bigger cafe,kh.
See you there.
I’ll happily bring a sound system for some tunes if we can run a cable 🙂
I believe 2-6 has a disco van!
Sounds nice.
If I can fly without a muzzle I’ll be there!
Same here!
Which cafe? Where in Essex? I must have missed all previous caff talk. I’ll be going back for a family visit to Essex again soon. Would be good to find some sanity and sanctuary for an hour.
Saffron Walden – I’ve been on here for what seems like forever now.
I’m pretty sure none of you will look how I picture you in my head!
I fear there will never be one.
It’s coming though. It is coming. Hold fast.
What do you think it might be?
No idea. But when it comes, it’ll be fast.
The problem is I just don’t see how it could happen. Which doesn’t mean it won’t but I can’t imagine that it will.
One simple reason – fear. Everything else has gone out the window.
I think it was in Orwell’s 1984 that Winston Smith observed the old man he talked to in the pub was like an insect, in that he could only see little things close to him, he could not see the big picture looming up in front of him. I suspect most people are like that nowadays. Loss of broadband for ten minutes = hissy fit. Biggest loss of civil rights since Cromwell = you what, mate?
That scene in 1984 is rather odd. The old man actually provides answers to all Winston’s questions, but Winston doesn’t have enough intelligence to process the information. When it comes to criticising the old man’s narrowness of view, Winston is the pot calling the kettle black.
You nerd 😉
Check out this absolute nonsense from a local council regarding school attendance and negative test requirements.
I am now at the point where I no longer feel it is appropriate for these idiots to be supervising my kids all day. They have completely lost their shit. Our kids are now more intelligent and knowledgeable than their supposed educators – well mine are anyway.
Can we not just claim they are not of sound mind and be done with them?
The time has come to vastly reduce the influence government, at whatever level, is allowed to interfere in our free society.
The sense of relief that I feel now that we’ve pulled our calf out of school is enormous.
Well mine are at home at the moment – 1 is isolating, and the other just has no motivation to be at school. I’m fine with that. Whatever they want to do now to be honest. They do better working by themselves it seems anyway.
I’ll wait for the authorities to hassle me before I raise my head above the parapet now. They can stay here as long as they like.
You have no idea how different I sound from 8 months ago!!
I believe that council is one which intends to teach six year olds how to masturbate.
You know, I think you may be right. It’s not my local authority, but I do recall some horror stories.
Yes …. and I know some horror stories about the dangers of a seasonal virus.
… but I don’t believe what the media tells me.
What the fuck ? Honestly ?
Parents shocked as UK schools teach 6-10yo kids to touch their ‘private parts’ in beds & showers
Wow. That’s actually despicable.
It’s very creepy – especially as many kids will already have sussed that with no paedophilic adult assistance.
Aha, but they need to know The Rules so as to do it properly.
Fraser Nelson article in the Spectator just now re: Sweden introducing rule of 8 at gatherings due to increase in hospital admissions exceeding 1st wave. Can’t see it backed by the graphs in the article myself. Anyone else who’s got access confirm?
first Belarus, now Sweden. Are they being leaned on heavily do you think?
The Spectator is a waste of time
They went a little bit sceptical for a time but now seem to be back on Gov message again.
Yes. I had a month’s free trial and no way would I go on to pay for such fluffy rubbish.
Heavily probably doesn’t even come close to describing the pressure they’ll be under.
They are listen to Fuellmich being interviewed by a Swede here. Long but riveting and of essential importance.
https://soundcloud.com/ulf-bittner/dr-reiner-fuellmich-about-crimes-against-humanity-and-corona-fraud-2020-10-20 from about a month ago with Swedish interviewer.
The graph in the article shows nothing of the sort, for ICU admissions at least.
Deaths likewise are way lower.
No good fighting the rhetoric. Fight the lockdowns and the mindless restrictions.

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/can-boris-be-reinfected-with-covid-
Is this a petition?
HaHa! Good one.
At the very least, all politicians should be vaccinated and then challenged, aka confronted with the virus.
Ideally before the population starts to get vaccinated.
Let’s see first, whether they do better than the ferrets then.
Best laugh I’ve had all day. Brought a genuine smile to my face.
We’ve got to pray very hard that he doesn’t achieve a “positive test” or this will be taken as de facto evidence that reinfection is a Thing.
Great news! Took a call from my father yesterday and I’ve been banned from visiting them for the time being. Apparently the MSM did a lot of scarey-scaring this weekend and my folks seem to be more scared than they were back in Mar/Apr.
The government knows best, stay home and hunker down – cold season is upon us!!!
Emperor Creepy Joe said it may be a ‘Dark Winter’.

Well let’s hope Sidney Powell releases the Kraken imminently.
Just seen this regarding Mark Malloch-Brown (the Brit with the links to Soros): https://twitter.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1328165287594606592
He spelled Molloch wrong.
That’s been my experience this time, people appear to be more scared than they were with the first Lockdown. I was in Morrisons the other day, the ONLY unmasked person, a garden centre today, the ONLY unmasked person.
Why aren’t people THINKING?
DavidC
If anything I’ve noticed the opposite. I was up in London last Saturday and, at least in the suburbs, road traffic was pretty much at pre-Covid levels; in a local beauty spot near me in East Anglia yesterday there were lots of people out walking, I didn’t see anyone in masks and several were clearly not in ‘family groups.’
All the other masks haters are staying away.
Morrison does click snd collect.
There are other garden centres.
The nappied morons were incapable of thinking to start with. It’s just become more noticeable now that their repulsive non-faces are so easily recognisable.
Because they were sinners who didn’t worship hard enough at the covid altar the first time round.
Same here
Even more idiots masked outside the supermarkets!
insurance – really boring ain’t it? maybe not:-
https://www.bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2020/11/16/Coronavirus-business-interruption-insurance-test-case-heads-to-Supreme-Court-FCA-Hiscox-RSA-QBE-High-Court-ruling-appeal
if the insurers lose the appeal and have to pay out, might they then turn their hostile attentions to the govt???
More likely, the treasury will shake the magical money tree once again and bail out the insurers.
Gasp! as the British taxpayer underwrites all risks and all incompetence.
yes i think you could be right unfortunately…
Need to go and rest and eat, will report more later, but come on peeps, follow my example and get out there.
Now’s the time – go and speak to people – do – if you want this to stop, right now is the critical moment. Don’t be shy, don’t delay, and don’t wait any longer.
Don’t waste you time on Lockdown Believers, but devote it to people who are worried – ask them what they think, don’t scare them further unless they are already aware of the plans, there’s a lot of opposition to vaccination so encourage that, and get them into activism as well.

What is happening in Sweden? Usual media bullshit or actual (awful) u-turn?
I wonder if Simon Dolan knows? I think Sweden’s been leaned on. Depressing
Some additional restrictions, nothing like what we have here. Sad to see, but light years away from where we are.
I think they are being “leaned on” by their citizens and media, who are not magically immune to coronapanic. Why would they be?
Wake me up when they actually impose an actual lockdown.
The media are leaning on behalf of their masters. The Covid Cabal is running the world. It doesn’t look good
Agreed, but it will be presented in the UK by the Fake Media as a full national lockdown, an admission of failure.
I would not be surprised if Tegnell resigned now. The idiots have launched a counter attack.
I was just saying to my dad today about the force of character he must have to resist even so far. I also said it was so important they went through the whole winter without locking down – looks like as others say that they’ve been significantly leaned on.
It isn’t Tegnell, it’s the politicians now taking matters into their own hands.
Yes, I was reading on Twitter that Tegnell said the new measures were ‘a waste of time’.
Stockdale’s Paradox:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockdale_paradox
James Stockdale was a POW 7 years:
Those of us who aren’t optimistic can draw some strength from this.
Yes – although that 7 years looks pretty optimistic to me: maybe 7 generations!
Anna Brees
So this grifter – sorry ‘Citizen Journalist’ is whinging about Facebook restricting her content and that she ‘doesn’t understand why’ She knows exactly why. There are ample examples of her giving enthusiastic coverage to 5G, Bill Gates, NWO, Jon Wedger and all that kind of bollocks as well as chasing David Icke & Piers Corbyn around Trafalgar Sq for an interview. She has also been the subject of unflattering coverage in Private Eye. She initially comes across as ‘oh so reasonable and objective’ she is neither.
She has also been the subject of unflattering coverage in Private Eye.
Whoever you’re ranting about, I like and admire them due to this fact alone.
UK Column, Breibart etc fan I bet
What are you a fan of? Just to give us some perspective.
I am a fan of Lockdown Sceptics. Not the cranks who hitch themselves to the cause
What are your thoughts on the trolls that come here ?
Not enough of them 😉
So kind of a ve vill zennzor de views of ze peepul ve do not agree vis kind of type?
This thing encompasses far more than just lockdowns. Its global psyop on steroids..
No you’re not.
I am not what?
The guardian is that way 👉
Just because I don’t go with the some of the crank narrative here, why do you assume I read or agree with anything in the Guardian (which I don’t read BTW)
That’s just the sort if lie a Guardian reader would come out when engaged in disruption duties.
Oh please. This childish ya boo response just confirms the extent of the silo/echo chamber this place has become and the sadly narrow minded attitude of too many here.
Let’s hope so.
Yep, to be targeted by defender of the rich and powerful, Ian Hislop is a badge of honour.
Are you talking about Anna Brees? What do you have against her?
Wouldn’t be surprised if Ms Brees was controlled opposition. She couldn’t understand why people were criticising the World Economic Forum
Bullshit.
Are we talking about the same person? she has given many people a platform to voice their concern and distress about what is going on.
Exactly. I’m not a fool. She was championing Dr Schoning (rightly so) but earlier in the year she was questioning why there were negative comments on WEF Great Reset sites. The replies to her were incredulous.
Lara Crab is suspicious of her too. James Melville is another. He spent six months opposing lockdowns then yesterday advised people to take the vaccine.
How would you determine if someone was “controlled opposition”?
None of which is a good reason for her to be censored.
She has done a lot of work to promote various voices of all kinds dissenting from the narrative, probably at the risk of destroying her career
Whatever her motivations, I think she’s been more of a help than a hindrance
Operation, 2020 edition…
Instructions:
(I promise to stop doing these if they are annoying… 🙂 )

I’m enjoying them, thank you
Keep them coming!
Can I have a go?
Hospitalisation rates feed directly into deaths data about 2 weeks down the track so we can see now that there isn’t a big death wave coming down the track because hospitalisations haven’t gone up.
Likewise positive tests haven’t gone up so hospitalisations aren’t going up much or the coming weeks.
The 2nd lockdown started on the 5th so we still shouldn’t expect to see any impact on hospitalisations until the back-end of this week. But we know it isn’t coming coz the infections aren’t there. The whole thing is a ponzi scheme.
We don’t hear much about “doubling rates” anymore!
Indeed we don’t. And the fucking useless/evil media have not noticed.
Or the malevolent media have.
We could be having lower than normal death rates and much of the media would neither notice nor report on it. It would be an ‘inverse death curve’ or something to get frightened about instead.
We are, in fact, having lower than the median mortality (27-year baseline).
So – innumeracy or lying is winning the day.
Simple
Or now retracted SAGE doommodelling…
I am numblexic, can you get an exponential flat-line?
x^^0
sorry that means nothing to me
Any value of x^0 = 1 hence a flat line ?
How does this all end was a question posed somewhere back down today’s list of posts? no real idea but as a step in the right direction; NHS England announced today that total Covid 19 patients in English NHS hospitals rose by 54, I think they can cope? overall in the last 7 days the total Covid 19 patients in English NHS hospitals rose by 18.6%. So yes a rise but it is a wet autumn in the UK that is what happens. If things carry on at this rate the total figure could double by the end of the year, it will keep the NHS busy but that is what it is there for and again, it should be able to cope.
How does it all end? still no idea but when the scary data becomes increasingly hard to find it will be a step in the right direction
It seems cuddly Klaus Slob and his team at the WEF club are cooking up a few ideas as we speak.. a huge cyber attack taking down the worlds power grid and banking systems seems to fit the bill. Klaus is literally wetting himself in anticipation..
This.. https://youtu.be/tSuCuoQxI20
Literally?
How do you know?
Read 1984
As Mr Hitchens points out, if governments will lockdown like this for a relatively harmless disease such as Covid, a vaccine won’t make any difference, because what happens when the next relatively harmless disease comes along? We will have to lockdown again.
Indeed, LDs “until there’s a vaccine” will be a standard response to every new virus.
Saw the insufferable David Nabarro (a kind of Papal Legate to the UK appointed by WHO) do his usual schtick on the BBC News channel, being lobbed soft ball questions by the lobotomised BBC guy. It’s all about the betterment of humankind, you’ll be pleased to learn – that’s all he, and the scientists of the world are interested in…so not the mega tax-free salary, then David?
A minor observation – the clock on his wall bore the legend 4SD, a sustainable “initiative” forming part of Agenda 2030 – no doubt a freebie at one of the many international conferences he will have attended in his various WHO and UN roles.
He’s a close relative of Sir Gerald Nabarro, the fine upstanding MP of old,whom some of a certain age may recall and, to top it all (had not realised before) a Professor at Imperial College.
That guy is pure evil
It’s a mediaopoly. Banned 1998 short cartoon strikes many a chord in 2020:

It’s getting bad now. Just been arrested for looking at David Icke’s website.
i don’t look, it’s too scary
Being Canadian, I had no clue who he was pre-Covid but when I saw the interview he did on Brian Rose’s London Real just before Lockdown 1.0 he’s positively prescient. Maybe 5% of what he says is “out there” but the other 90% was spot on if you watch it now. Frankly, I couldn’t understand why he’s considered such a nutter based on that interview.
It’s because…back in the old days in the 80’s he was a BBC TV sports presenter and before that a footballer. So he had quite a high public profile, then he left the bbc and worked for the green party and perhaps got in with the “wrong” people. Then he went to Peru or somewhere in the Amazon and took Ayahuasca, the strong hallucinogen. He went a bit “funny” after that and had a spiritual revaluation or two and started speaking out about what he saw as injustices and untruths and this went against the establishment’s grain. They got him on prime time BBC TV on the Wogan show when he in reality wasn’t psychologically stable and absolutely pilloried him. Wogan was terribly cruel and mocked him mercilessly. It literally destroyed his career overnight and the nation viewed him as a laughingstock.
That’s how it all started.
We he did actually claim to be the Son of God. Well I guess he’s ticked the “mocked” box. If he could get us out of this mess, that would certainly qualify as a miracle.
https://lawfulrebel.com/ep119-michael-o-bernicias-common-law-solution-to-tyranny/
Apparently he once declared himself to be the son of God. That was enough for most people to judge him. I’ve not looked into the validity of that statement to be honest.
This was something he did say but obviously it was taken out of context. It stems from the psychedelic revaluations he thinks he received from a sort of spirit guide that said his reason to be on earth at this time was to save mankind.
Err sort of a reborn of The Gods kind of monent I guess, so him saying he was the son of God or the son of his spirit guide was sort of where he was coming from. I think anyway.
I heard him on one of his first post-Wogan speaking tours, about 1991 I think. It started off reasonably well about environmental stuff, but then descended into green-ink type ramblings about ‘channellings’ etc. When I watch his videos now, he seems an almost completely different person and I suspect he was really not in his right mind back then.
No, Schizophrenia most likely, his obsession with coloured track suits, auras, it’s not surprising strong hallucinogens can easily trigger Schizophrenic breakdowns and he was still pretty young then too, so much more at risk of lasting psychological disturbance.
It’s not surprising, I have heard that Ayahuasca can be extremely strong.
.
He’s been spot on for decades.

Received a boiler plate paper letter from Lucy Allan MP today, in response to my email prior to the lockdown vote. Had thought she was showing promise but she seems to have fallen into line now. Never mind. I’m sure she’s already looking forward to my next communication. And I am looking forward to composing it.
Where was the Scottish table on the NRS dashboard? I couldn’t find it.

Very depressing article in Speccie today – looks like Sweden is under pressure from our unelected global rulers to change their strategy… https://www.spectatordotcodotuk/article/sweden-s-rule-of-eight-marks-a-change-of-strategy
A few weeks ago, Sweden was held up as pretty much the only country in the world to have responded to coronavirus using a voluntary system: advising, rather than instructing, the public. But this has changed today with Stefan Löfven, the Prime Minister, saying he will pass a law to introduce a ban on gatherings of eight people or more. ‘Do your duty. Do not go to the gym, do not go to the library, do not have parties. Do not come up with excuses that would make your activity OK,’ he said n a press conference. ‘It is your and my choices — every single day, every single hour, every single moment — that will now determine how we manage this.’
It then goes on to say:
But now, the second wave is striking Sweden hard. Fredrik Elgh, professor of virology at Umeå University, recently told SVT that Sweden is two weeks away from surpassing the first wave’s peak hospitalisations. This builds political pressure — which Tegnell has tended not to respond to.
Sweden has been tightening in stages. On 22 October it imposed a 50 person limit on public gatherings, with 300 on concerts and sporting events. Last week, the government proposed a 10 p.m. pub curfew. The week before, a rule of eight was imposed in restaurants. Anna Ekstrom, the education minister, has even said that ‘should it be needed, we will not hesitate to close the schools’ — in the first wave, Sweden kept schools open up to sixth form”
Doom and disaster is of course, not in the least bit evident from the WHO cases vs deaths chart for Sweden – in fact, the graphs show deaths trending downwards after a small spike at the start of Nov.
Who are these global rulers imposing lockdowns on every country?
Scared and panicking, or just conformist, elites – academics, doctors, media types artists, managers, civil servants, etc. They aren’t the only scared panickers but they are the ones who can make their opinions felt in media and politics.
Panic is contagious, and so is conformism. Only “hard right extremists” and uncaring people who “put money ahead of lives” are resisting the panic measures, and who wants to be associated with those kinds of people?
Boris Johnson in my country. You?
Have you watched that video I posted a link to earlier John P?
It explains very well who these global rulers are.
They can switch back to “cases” now, they’ve been consistently headlining the superficially worst metric. Also “second wave”, ugh.
Tegnell faced opposition in Spring, too.
Technically “covid” deaths in Sweden have had an uptick, but Euromomo still has their current death rate below the 5-year average.
The obvious question to the zealots is surely: if Sweden are in the midst of a dangerous pandemic, how can the death rate possibly be lower than the 5-year average, especially after rejecting lockdowns and face masks?
I would genuinely love to hear the logic of their answer.
Unfortunately the pressure is coming from the “case” numbers again. Does anybody know what the Swedish testing model is (ie. have tests increased, if PCR what is the number of cycles etc.)?
Yes – there is no sign whatsoever of unusually high mortality in Sweden : quite the reverse.
Aren’t people like this the absolute worst?
Just have to hope the vaccine – that they will be pushing to the front of the queue to take – actually just kills them off!
The Karen is strong with this one.

The time for protest is over. The time for nationwide totalitarian non-compliance and non-violent direct action is upon us.
Wasn’t he supposed to have arranged for MH to be arrested today?
Hmmmm, yes he was wasn’t he.
Apparently Common Law summons was presented to Nicola Sturgeon today and lodged with the Edinburgh Sherrif. I’ve no idea about this stuff. And I’ve tried to grasp it.
Latest from The Bernician on Facebook:
We chased the chief magistrates office all day today (Monday). We’re still waiting for a reply to two messages and an email, which we were hoping would come some time this evening.
That not being the case, we will continue chasing until we ascertain how far the warrant application has progressed. As soon as we have any news on the PCP, you’ll read it here first. Until then, remember that patience pays the greatest rewards.
Meanwhile, fourteen members of the People’s Union of Britain, who have witnessed the emails which have passed between PUB and the Chief Magistrates office, have pledged to execute witness statements to that effect.
These affidavits will form the basis of defamation and malicious falsehood complaints, against every fraudulent fop who made serious allegations they knew to be untrue, for their own material gain.
Make up your own mind – I am sure you will.
Can messer’s Johnson and Hancock permanently self isolate in perpetual retirement
Or, a the risk of sounding like Miryam Margolyes (and looking increasingly like her as it goes) – they could just die.
Interesting. I was only suggesting this morning that, in order to circumvent the “agreement” to allow a vote on December 2, They would want to leave the country in a mixture of level 2 and 3 mockdowns.
From the DT live:
Conservative MPs have blasted the “grim” and “terrible” suggestion that lower tiers could be “strengthened” after national lockdown is lifted, with Boris Johnson on another collision course with his backbenchers.
…. Matt Hancock noted it was “too early” to say whether the UK would be able to leave lockdown on December 2.
…. Dr Susan Hopkins, chief medical adviser to NHS Test and Trace, went on to suggest those in areas with lower case rates could emerge from current restrictions to find themselves under harsher rules than before. …. “We see very little effect from Tier 1 and I think when we look at what tiers may be there in the future we will have to think about strengthening them in order to get us through the winter months until the vaccine is available for everyone.”
…. Matt Hancock might have hoped the good news about securing five million doses of a brand new vaccine would win people over – but he didn’t count on being overshadowed by the threat of “strengthened” tiers.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/11/16/boris-johnson-self-isolating-brexit-trade-deal-latest-news/
I literally have no words.
Well no more than five anyway …
That means they will look at “strengthening” the bottom tiers to have more of an impact after the national lockdown, Dr Hopkins says.
Tier 3 for everyone then. ie full national mockdown continues.
We already don’t have a None or a Low
No surprise there then,more time needed to destroy the small business and hospitality sectors obviously.
This is our permanent future if we,as a population,don’t stand up and stop it.
No more talking,no more peaceful protests,they are achieving very little and we don’t have the time to waste.
The government,the police,the political parties,they are all our enemies,they are laughing at us and our belief in democracy and free speech and decency.We need to fight them in the same way they are attacking us,we’ve got to stop worrying about holding on to the moral high ground,unfortunately we are going to have to lower ourselves to their level to be able to beat them.No speech,no matter by whom,is going to stop them,no court case,even in the extremely unlikely event of it being in our favour,will stop them.
I have tried all the usual ways to fight back for months now,writing to MPs,councils,large organisations you name it,I’ve spoken to people to encourage them to think for themselves and do their own research etc.,virtually none of this has made any difference at all.
I know I might upset some people with this post but it seems for every step forward we get sent 100 backwards,it feels that we are being allowed to dissipate our strength and fight in certain ways until we are as demoralised and submissive as everyone who is taken in by the propaganda.
Yep some of us small businesses are clinging on as long as we can. Hard to sell holidays when you can’t go anywhere though.
God I think we all wish we could Sarigan. We all need something to look forward to.
I posted yesterday YT footage of @Resistance GB being arrested for speaking at Speakers Corner:
Arrested
Later yesterday Sam of Subject Access YT channel live streamed from the South bank, no police stopping people from going about enjoying the Sunday afternoon:
Not Arrested
Free speech is no longer allowed.
Absolutely, it’s nothing to do with crowds gathering, it’s all to do with intimidation and control. The Met police are particularly tyrannical and the officers on the whole seem to love the extra power.
Well they’ve been told they can’t be racist any more so they have to take it out on someone.
Is it possible to get one of those very fat dwarf PCSO’s as a Christmas present
Do John Lewis sell them?
Speakers Corner is taped off!
Interesting video, not long before this type of information is banned. Establishment loves to treat us like children. They might as well officially rename the BBC as The Ministry of Propaganda.
Former Vice President at Pfizer, Dr. Michael Yeadon, who has over 32 years of experience in pharmaceutical research and development, has penned a letter to Matt Hancock, the UKs head of Health and Social Care, expressing his deep concerns over the experimental use of #COVID19 vaccines coming to market. In kind, Doctors are voicing their concerns about how little they know about the most anticipated vaccine in the modern era.
EX PFIZER VP CONCERNED ABOUT EXPERIMENTAL COVID VACCINE
https://www.bitchute.com/video/rWGDYZnqR3kQ/
Did you spot this?
BitChute needs your help! We have been deplatformed by service providers and we are in the process of moving providers. If you experience an issue this is likely the cause.
I have a bad feeling that unless people support alternative platforms we will only have the option of a heavily censored YouTube. Funny how the ruling elites seem to like monopolies when it suits them for their propaganda purposes.
Yeadon keeps banging on that all positive tests are False Positive. This is very, very unlikely.
evidence for your statement?
The recent positivity rate for ONS is about 1%. For government tests it’s higher because tests are more targeted.
If all these positive tests are false – Why were the ONS and government not getting anything like 1% during the summer?
The False Positive rate can’t just increase 20-fold or more for no reason.
Can you provide a link for the positivity values in the summer compared to now?
The simplest way to show this is to go to the link below
https://www.ons.gov.uk/releases/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveyuk13november2020
Then download the data (Excel spreadsheet)
The first table (1d) probably best demonstrates the point. For example
Jun 20- Jul 3 14 positives from 25359 tests (~0.06%)
Oct 24 – Nov 6 1858 positives from 154159 (1.2%)
Presumably the fp rate can change pretty dramatically in response to changes in handling of the tests, such as massive ramping up of numbers, changes in outsourcing, staffing, etc.
Even if that were happening with government tests, it would not be the case with ONS tests which are recorded over a longer period.
The fact remains that ONS was only recording ~0.04% positive tests in the summer.
Of course all the positives aren’t false. But where is your evidence that Yeadon is saying they are?
Listen to him.
The less virus there is circulating in the population the higher the false positive rate. And depending on the amplification cycles being used, you can get a positive PCR from a swab of a banana. At a minimum we can agree that the test is not fit-for-purpose and there are a huge number of false positives.
The less virus there is circulating in the population the higher the false positive rate.
No. The FP rate depends on the specificity of the Test. It’s the percentage of negative cases that return a positive result.
And depending on the amplification cycles being used, you can get a positive PCR from a swab of a banana
ONS have been consistent. The FP rate can’t be more than 0.05% as that was the positivity rate during the summer.
What number of cycles are the ONS using?
Providing they are consistent what does it matter?
Well you seem to claim expertise on ONS testing methodologies so surely a simple question…?
OK, let’s make it a theoretical question to start with then. Do you think that a test run on, say, 25 cycles will have the same FP rate as a test run on 45 cycles?
Are they consistent? I can’t see anything about it in their blurb. A great long document about ‘methodology’ but nothing at all about the absolute core of what it is they’re supposed to be doing. They say:
We know the specificity of our test must be very close to 100% as the low number of positive tests in our study means that specificity would be very high even if all positives were false. For example, in the most recent six-week period (31 July to 10 September), 159 of the 208,730 total samples tested positive. Even if all these positives were false, specificity would still be 99.92%.
We know that the virus is still circulating, so it is extremely unlikely that all these positives are false.
How do these statements relate to the government’s research into false positives?
An attempt has been made to estimate the likely false-positive rate of national COVID-19 testing programmes by examining data from published external quality assessments (EQAs) for RT-PCR assays for other RNA viruses carried out between 2004-2019 [7]. Results of 43 EQAs were examined, giving a median false positive rate of 2.3% (interquartile range 0.8-4.0%).
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/895843/S0519_Impact_of_false_positives_and_negatives.pdf
As for the bold bit above: this seems like a circular argument. We don’t have many false positives because we know the virus is still circulating and we know that the the virus is still circulating because we are getting some positive tests.
Something doesn’t ring true here. The assertion is that the testing system’s false positive rate is indicated by its lowest ever incidence level, the inherent assumption being then that it has been consistent throughout.
If I dishonestly wanted to suggest a very low false positive rate, therefore, I would arrange a couple of weeks when it didn’t matter (the summer) where my positivity rate was almost zero. To do this I would lower the number of cycles (for example). And then I would subsequently ramp up the number of cycles when I wanted to suggest a ‘second wave’. I would avoid all mention of the number of cycles and any other detail about the core of my testing in all documentation because I would then have to reveal my sleight of hand or tell a lie. Instead I would go into great detail about everything else to make it look as though I took this really, really seriously and hope that no one asked any awkward questions about numbers of cycles and so on.
Haven’t watched dispatches tonight but the plug was that they were to show some undercover reports on the chaos in labs. We have no idea how that uptick in capacity has impacted quality. False positives could well be sky high as a result
Not for ONS.
ONS just take the numbers reported to them.
Explain what you mean. Where do you think the ONS might be going wrong? And, of course, where France, Italy, Germany , Spain and Sweden are also going wrong.
Remember Sweden were supposed to be ahead of the pack in the race for herd immunity. In recent days Sweden has recorded some pretty big case numbers.
The Covid symptom study which is totally independent of govt or ONS also recorded a rapid rise (now falling) beginning in late September.
I do start to loose the will to live with all this rate data, when I look at the NHS dashboard it says there have been 33 million pillar 1 & 2 tests of which 1.4 million have been positive and yet with all that, in NHS England Hospitals there are currently 12,000 Covid 19 patients in hospital. To my simplistic mind it all starts to look as though much of this is like the old discussions about how many Angels can dance on the head of a pin.
The main point is;
‘ain’t nothing shaking but the leaves on the tree’
These are not the statistics of an emergency demanding dodgy Statutory Instruments made under a Public Health Order that was never designed for this purpose. To my mind these are the statistics that suggest we are now at the stage when we should rescind all legislation and move all this on to a more normal Public Health approach.
The bottom line:
Throughout the summer the ONS (forget the government tests) were consistently recording 0.03%-0.05% positive cases. This has gradually risen over the past 3 months.
In the most recent fortnight (to Nov 6th) the positivity rate was 1.2%
Matt Hancock has refused to rule out making a coronavirus vaccine mandatory, suggesting ministers could make it a requirement if initial take-up is lower than expected.
.
…. asked whether those without underlying conditions could be forced to take the vaccine in the future, he said: “I’ve learnt not to rule things out during this pandemic because we have to watch what happens and you have to make judgments accordingly.”
His comments come amid growing concern in Government over the dissemination of anti-vaccination material online.

Remove that offensive image now!!!
I know Toby believes in free expression, but … I don’t know … I think posting these sort of indecent images is maybe going a little too far.
Even with it’s face half covered the image is still nauseating.
I have just killed a kitten.
One less covid vector at least
I second that!
Sums it up, doesn’t it?!
There. Fixed it for you.
Nice mask – shame about the (half a) face!
That’s so much better. Thanks!
If you hover your cursor over it, the label is “the right honourable Matt Hancock.”
Even his jpeg label is a lie!
Sorry, that was me. I always use his full appellation as a piss take.
I like a bit of irony with my piss takes.
lovely
I was just gonna say it too!
He looks at his worst with that awful NHS mask on. Somebody black out the whole thing!!
I hate that man. Would contemplate doing a life sentence….
I thought I was
They do this because they know the sheeple… well this last word says it all!
He really is utter scum.
‘anti vaccination material’ – i.e. anyone who doesn’t much fancy taking a rushed-through vaccination pushed through by utter bellends who saw nothing wrong with locking people up and by so doing ruining their civil liberties, livelihoods and mental health.
Del Bigtree should make him the next vaxhole of the week after Moron.
I understand he is way out in front in the voting for ‘political c*** of the year’ on the isac*** website (parental advisory. Obviously, lol).
Do the right thing Cheezilla!
Virtue signaling piece of vermin. Part human , part rat.

Where’s the human bit?
You too Voz.
Breaking – Govt have now purchased 5m doses of the Moderna vaccine. That’s 355 million doses of vaccine they’ve ordered. WTAF?
Enough to do everyone five times.
Where are the millions demanding this vaccine? How much is this costing? Is it safe? Why are they so desperate that we take it? Utterly utterly sick of this shit show. Just think what else they could’ve done with the money that they have casually spunked during this lunacy.
I think it’s called panic buying. But it’s our money
Are the police suffering from some kind of group psychiatric disorder?
One moment they are catatonic to the point where even a polite ‘good morning’ doesn’t arouse a response
The next moment they are screaming incoherent banshees attacking passive people with batons
What happened to the calm and collected British Bobby who took everything in their stride
Today you only see them in groups of ten or more, and then they are kitted up like they are about to dropped behind enemy lines
Indoctrinated and incapable of independent thought
It does make you wonder what’s happened to them doesn’t it.
Maybe they’ve been undergoing some independent brainwashing.
Common Purpose! See here: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-16th-november-2020
Politicisation under the Blair government is the main reason, I think. They were one of the last of the institutions to be taken over. The Stephen Lawrence case was used as the justification.
People do not understand the significance of the Stephen Lawrence enquiry.The police were unfairly tarred with the accusation of institutional racism.due to one operational decision on whether to arrest the suspects,based on hearsay evidence or wait for more solid evidence.
The government then purged the Police of old fashioned police officers and cowed the rest.
They then promoted political correct officers such as Cressida Dick.The knife crime epidemic in London is a result of this.
Indeed Jonathan. I was naive back then and didn’t realise what that apparently neutral phrase “institutional racism” which appeared to have a grain of truth but maybe just a bit overstated really meant as a trojan horse for wokery to rampage through coppering. I’m wiser now but it’s too late.
Having worked in the criminal justice system, I think that since PACE regulations, (another 1984 Act) they have felt their natural tendencies constrained. Now they have a bit of power against totally harmless non-criminal people and are letting rip.
And I sincerely apologise to the many – but sadly not majority – of really good police officers I have encountered during my career.
Dress them up like the army and they start acting like stormtroopers
Re. Sweden. Not quite how the MSM have been reporting it.
https://twitter.com/kynohy/status/1328350108774264832
“Sweden. Not quite how the MSM have been reporting it.“
Could have written that comment, legitimately, almost every single day since early April.
Earlier today, a man who does Health Secretary impersonations told a radio interviewer that Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence-based Medicine at Oxford University, was an “outlier”. In an interview earlier in the same radio programme, Prof Heneghan had presented several important pieces of evidence; the projected figures presented by The Prime Minister’s advisors at a press conference to justify lockdown 2.0 were false, the NHS bed and ICU occupancy figures show that the health service is not being overwhelmed and the numbers are normal for the time of year; and although there were some excess deaths over the 5 year average, 90% of these are in the home (which he linked to the NHS being less accessible).
I am not entirely sure what The Health Secretary means by “outlier.” Is it that Prof Heneghan didn’t go to Eton, or that he has a northern accent, or that he didn’t study PPE at Exeter College Oxford (he has a Medical degree from New College, Oxford) or that in the evidence-free zone between Mr Hancock’s ears Prof Heneghan inconveniently disagrees with the deranged statistics of Whitty, Vallance and Ferguson?
I know who I believe!
I heard it – couldn’t believe JHB didn’t pick him up on that – maybe she was speechless!
Or maybe she just let him dig his own grave – oh god there I go again wishing his life away
They’re mates apparently.
Heneghan is northern working class. So am I. I was also at Oxford. Agree with your post completely DocRC.
That makes 3 of us!
I saw the signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration — renowned scientists from Stanford, Harvard and Oxford — referred to as “fringe” scientists. In what universe??? Oh yeah, the Covid universe.
Fabulous post, thank you!
There are no infectious, contagious diseases. Germ theory is deadly myth!
A fascinating post by DickyBoy refers to “Stockdale’s Paradox” and the danger of false optimism: https://dailysceptic.org/2020/11/16/latest-news-195/#comment-250183
So with that in mind, I’ll get this off my chest:
The tide is not turning.
Even if the tide was turning, it wouldn’t matter.
The most interesting aspect of the obviously stolen election in the US, is how little effort has been made to conceal the fact. The perpetrators know that there is simply nothing their opponents can do about it.
People respond to incentives. About 5% of the population are being financially vaporised. The rest couldn’t give a shit.
I’m in the conspiracy camp, but regardless of where you sit, budding global technocrats and envirofascists are running absolutely rampant. Lovers of freedom everywhere are being given a bloody good hiding, and there is no sign of abatement or respite.
I just spoke with two neighbours – successful business people – bemoaning the current business climate. They were having none of it, pinning everything on “the vaccine”. An experimental vaccine – barely more effective than a placebo – for a trivial disease.
These people think the vaccine is the end of this. I’m worried it’s just the beginning.
The outlook for the West is absolutely grim. I’ve just been for a run. I’ve done my meditation. I’m making slow progress on some new product development. I feel strong today.
But intellectually, today is a low point. Our situation is dire.
Have to say, I agree with you. It is difficult being alive at the moment. I am a person who has contemplated what it has been like for people in war torn parts of the world – especially Syria, I listened to loads of reports about that and thought what it would be like for ordinary educated people to be plunged into the abyss. In my riverside village, two Syrian refugees died by drowning in June. I imagined their back story – gave up their jobs, paid shitloads of money to thieves to get a chance to get over here to “safety” – locked down in a flat in west London and then – hey – a bit of freedom – they swim in the river too near the weir and they drown. So sad. But we too are now on the brink.
I agree, I don’t think I will be around much longer. Not in this world.
DRW, you are saying this so often. I can’t imagine what you are going through at the moment and it is no surprise that you feel at the very end of your tether. Please speak to someone (in addition to us) if you aren’t already doing so. Start with Samaritans, if you don’t have other obvious options.
Please forgive me for being a mother hen, but sometimes we all need a bit of help to get by. Maybe you assume it won’t help, but you don’t know unless you give it a chance.
It is not about optimism. It is about attitude. Listen to this great British philosopher
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-7xyd5_IfY
This is not about who will win. We always win. It is about accepting that what we are experiencing is really happening. And I must break it to you. It is happening. Ok, so we have to fight. That´s all. As the above mentioned philospher says: “Use the difficulty”.
We are now around about the year 1700, Montesquieu´s manuscript The Spirit of the Law is being hidden away and only printed anonymously 5 years before his death. John Locke is publishing his essays on Tolerance.
Friends, this is a constant struggle. We are not the Wokists, we never give up, we realise freedom is a constant struggle.
Absolutely right.
And, for the umpteenth time, MOANING AND GRIZZLING ‘I DESPAIR’ IS PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE ENEMY’S HANDS.
Annie – I love you!
So right!
Your reply made me smile, Annie, because when I was a little girl many moons ago, and whinging about something, she used to say, “I should have called you Mona Griselda because you’re always moaning and grizzling.” It used to shut me up instantly! 🙂
Absolutely!!!!!
I often think of it like that. Truth is what needs a reset. Not some government sealed version of it. It won’t be easy. It’ll take very prominent players in this to be brought into the open and shown for what they are. We are a long way from the kind of mass protests we need to see. I have a feeling in this past month that some big parts of the narrative have been pushed further into the mainstream and their weakness being unveiled.
Bear in mind the most important part of Stockdale’s message:
“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”
Wrong time to give up now. The resistance is growing!
It’s interesting that at the end of a article I read today the author writes this –
‘People, e.g. LockdownSceptics readers, will no doubt react to this asinine activity by grieving about the never ending machinations (that are reliably reported on daily, without any solution offered, to maintain the sense of dread, and to motivate parting with the coin to no good end), and the ever new escalation of intolerable encroachment upon freedoms (which have long since been eroded, but this never registers); the complaining is of course aimed at those who institute the measures. However, what this overlooks is that the suffering of the abuse is entirely voluntary; in fact, the willingness of the British to volunteer into lockdown – helped to it enormously by their choice of media – is why there is no let up.’
Maybe we are too sceptical?
http://www.frombehindenemylines.org.uk/2020/11/the-pfizer-vaccines-meaningless-90-effectiveness-and-the-circus-surrounding-it/
I disagree. This financial system, which ha been in place with modifications . is finished. Those who profited from that system are trying to preserve their power and privilege.
They won’t succeed.The very fact that they are having to get ever more authoritarian shows us that the game is up. Their myths are disintegrating.
Look at the government deficits in the developed world sustained only by money printing. We are heading for hyperinflation, which will sweep away the old order.
We just need to wait for the January 2021 meeting…
The SRF & Billionaires WANT to reshape Their Planet. And They are doing just that. If a billion or more sheeple needs to be culled, then CULL AWAY!
It’s WW3. The whole world is under attack, but no one knows who the enemy is.
We know who the enemy is.
I know who THEY are…
Some progressive countries offer assisted suicide on demand for medical reasons, including mental health reasons. I would take it. The suffering is immense. The loss of autonomy. The feeling of one’s life being owned like a slave by an entitity (WEF, Pharma?). A close friend is suicidal. Life has been stolen.
It’s unbelievable that people, including children have killed themselves because of lockdown.
To see people endorsing lockdown makes me sick to my stomach. Never knew there was so much inhumanity and fascism. The police have become brownshirts. The human race disappoints and disgusts me.
But I’d like to see justice. To see all the politicians and the journalists responsible for lockdowns and restrictions in court for crimes against humanity. I don’t think it will happen sadly.
OK, now I’m just channelling Annie. But, we are all here too. We too are members of the human race. I, to speak just for myself, am very much human and very much sane. I really exist. So do you. We are the resistance; there’s no getting rid of us.
https://www.independent.ie/news/potatoes-thrown-and-customer-offering-money-in-mouth-shop-workers-feel-force-of-covid-19-anger-39754929.html
TLDR Retail workers in Northern Ireland experience abuse at the hands of some customers, which they put down to COVID19 frustration. These experiences include having a potato thrown at them and a customer insisting that money be taken from their mouth!
This makes no sense.
“Every shift during Covid-19 feels like the run up to Christmas in terms of how busy it has been and the sheer amount of so-called self-isolating customers ignoring government advice/rules to buy non-essential items appears to be a bit of a running joke.”
Self-isolating customers surely stay at home?
Doesn’t online shopping mean shops are quieter?
The whole article doesn’t make sense. How does a conversation arise whereby a customer admits that they should actually be self isolating and even if it does surely this isn’t a common thing like the article implies.
The potato/ money in the mouth and customer walking around threatening to punch people clearly points to mental health. I would argue the sort of behaviour you might see when you lock vulnerable people indoors for the best part of 8 months.
Gutter journalism.
Is throwing a potato the Irish version of Iraqis throwing shoes at people they disapprove of ?
Tumbling so called ‘positive cases’ in Student areas
Students seem to have gotten cleverer and given up with testing…..unless there is another explanation. New Cases by Specimen date.
Fallowfield Central (Hub of Manchester Students)
30/09/2020 = 821 Cases
04/11/2020 = 46 Cases
11/11/2020 = 25 Cases!
Durham City (Durham Uni)
14/10/2020 = 1023 Cases
04/11/2020 = 53 Cases
11/11/2020 = 38 Cases!
OK. Good result. They have now used up a lot of credibility and goodwill with these tests having gone through students and ruined the experience for many, so apart from compulsory testing in Care Homes and Hospitals I wonder if another group could be the next target? People need to stop getting tested.
The HERD wants to get “TESTED”. It is what they are programmed to do. “TESTS”.
Since birth… The entire existence of modern slaves revolves around “TESTS”. This is for 99% just another one.
And besides the large majority has huge levels of irresponsibility in regard to their own Organisms that they simple obey what the scoundrel with a white piece of cloth tells them.
I need to correct myself!
Even before birth we are addicted to TEST… and not since “birth”!
How many tests are done to an unborn animal?
The next target is of course all of us via the moonsh*t regime.
My daughter won’t come home from university for the holidays because she would have to submit to 3 Covid tests over a 2-week quarantine period upon return to her university’s province. She broke quarantine when she arrived at her apartment in town back in August (she’s a chip off the old block) but couldn’t escape the Covid tests. I would have never sent her back to residence, but we started paying for an off-campus apartment and she does have the odd in-person lecture. She’s in Canada and yet can’t come home, which makes me very angry. So I don’t know about the UK, but some students are being forced to get tested, as is the case with my daughter. On the other hand, my idiot niece at a different university town voluntarily gets tested every 2 weeks “just to be safe” — and that after telling me she thinks she had it back in February. She’s a political science major, which says it all.
What force is being used? Forgive me for being obtuse here, but I want to be clear. When you say your daughter is being forced to submit to what is an invasive medical procedure, what is the nature of the force being applied?
White Cloth Myths and, above all, personal irresponsibility!
Tell her to forget university! It won’t matter if she has a degree or not.
I do not get this, “just to be safe”. Who is she protecting? Herself? If you are not ill, what’s the problem? You cannot pass something on you haven’t got.
And no one’s asking what cases are. Our lives are being literally destroyed for ‘cases’.
“cases” are FUN!

Dear Lockdown
This Is How Great Reset Will End Western Democracies

He doesn’t sound very confident when he said “We believe in Britain, and we’re here to defend it” or some rubbish like that.
And that’s where I stopped watching…
Build Back Better is such a third rate slogan.
I’m surprised that there hasn’t been a hatchet job done on LS yet. Do you think the media are scared of people coming here and finding some truths?
The Guardian did a hatchet job a while back (months ago now) but nothing really since.
Do you mean something like this:
The ‘lockdown sceptics’ want a culture war, with experts as the enemy
I’ve seen far more intelligence and common sense here on LS than I’ve seen from most so-called experts. We here seem to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, by which I mean consider the psychological costs of lockdown, the economic devastation, lives lost to other illnesses, etc. vs. an all-consuming, singular focus on Covid and nothing else.
Try linking to this site and see what happens. At best you might get called a conspiracy nut.
So latest reply from MP re the vaccine goes like this:-
“Thank you for your email.
I warmly (though cautiously) welcome the news that a vaccination is on the horizon, but I do recognise that this may be no silver bullet out of this crisis.
As far as I am aware, there remains no intention of making vaccinations compulsory and there is currently no legislative facility or framework to allow them to do so. This was most recently confirmed by Matt Hancock in an interview on the 10th November.
The government’s own guidance remains that “[individuals] must be given enough information to enable them to make a decision before they can give consent.”
Very best wishes”
She didn’t really answer any of my other questions, but I didn’t expect this much of a response really.
I want to send a reply, and what I have written so far is below. But what other questions could I raise – bearing in mind this woman is apparently a barrister, so she must be fully au fait with the idea that a mandatory vaccine not being counted out, has to imply that our laws would need to be significantly changed :-
“I do not doubt that a vaccine will not be directly or honestly mandated – when has this government ever done anything honest? But there is every reason to expect that it will be forced by coercion – ie not being able to work or take part in society in any meaningful way, unless you can prove your vaccine uptake.
Why would Ticketmaster have suggested that they would require evidence of such, if they hadn’t been primed by someone? They have backed down – for the time being, but it will resurface.
Why does a BA flight information pack suggest that a vaccine certificate should be carried?”
Any ideas? Didn’t someone say, in the last few days, that anyone who doesn’t have the vaccine should stay at home, or not be allowed into their place of work? Did someone mention camps or something like that (Feotida Dick maybe)?
tom tuggen-hat and dom rabh said some pretty terrible things
Mr CGL told me – I can’t bring myself to watch anything like that – said they are purest evil – how can the rest of the populace not see this?
Also, the law means sod all anymore – as we’ve seen they can just change it overnight on the grounds of an “unprecedented emergency”.
The misuse of the law for nefarious ends is probably intoxicating at first to those in power – but it works both ways. One step too far (eg, proposing a pet cull, or something perceived to be harmful to children or which affects benefit or pension payments) and public opinion could turn, the way starlings suddenly turn in flight.
This is an encouraging way of expressing this idea, which I too hope is right.
I’m very keen on starlings – a large flock visits my garden every day for dried mealworms – but my, they are jumpy. Flighty, in fact.
They don’t seem to mind masking their kids though, even though there is plenty of evidence to suggest that it may harm them, and not a lot to suggest any gain.
I thought that might do it, but it didn’t.
I’m new to the BTL forum but felt compelled to respond to your post. You may have seen this but, if not, be very afraid…
https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/9253/pdf/
This information was requested by a Parliamentary Committee and the ‘expert’ advice is clearly to give the green light to the principle of compulsory vaccination.
Will people please stop writing ‘be very afraid.’ There is no earthly point in ramping up fear, particularly when a lot of it is speculation. It is simply an argument from four academics with doctorates (not necessarily medics) about whether compulsory vaccination will contravene ECHR. There would be massive opposition. There is enough people on this forum saying they are more depressed than ever and it’s becoming a platform for completely unnecessary scaremongering and it is feeding negativity.
Thanks Bella. Steadying words!

Cool Main Headline on the Daily Telegraph Website…not sure how long it will last.
‘Not fit for Purpose’ -PMs self isolation shows rules must change.
‘Scientists and MPs are calling for urgent changes to Britain’s isolation rules, saying the confinement of Boris Johnson demonstrates the folly of the UK’s testing regime.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/
LOL – It has already been downgraded to minor second place…first headline now reads ‘Covid Lockdown Looms over Xmas’. Bollocks to that. I’m ordering a Turkey for 12.
I almost hope they do. As someone said a good bit below, and a friend said to me earlier today, people will just ignore it and the government’s authority will be terminally undermined.
Agreed. They should do it.
Yet one of the chief peculiarities of the self-isolation rules is that people must remain at home for 14 days even if they test negative.
My son had to get tested because a work colleague tested positive. Son’s test was negative and the instructions were that he could return to work immediately.
So what’s going on here??!
I don’t understand this. How can anyone be compelled to submit to an invasive medical procedure? I can see that pressure might be applied, but if you just stay out of the employer’s premises for a fortnight or nine days or whatever, surely that satisfies any legitimate demand. Or have I missed the descent into total fascism?
The staff were ordered to leave the premises immediately and get tested. This was the boss covering his own back and avoiding massive fines.
I think those who test positive get some paltry form of financial compensation, maybe £75 per week?
If you just self-isolate, you go penniless for two weeks.
‘Ordered.’ Staff can be ordered off the premises. Is there any legal authority, contractual or otherwise, by which one can be ordered to submit to an invasive medical procedure? I take the point that one might be made to suffer a loss of income.
Schools do the same in some cases. The truth is the official line is isolate for 14 days as you may be asymptomatic for a few days and then begin your viral murder spree a few days after your negative test.
Of course this is just a nonsense. Because to be infectious you’d need to have virus picked up at low CTs. And they want us to think asymptomatics spread as well (high CTs). And yet they can be tested as negative. The whole doublethink around PCR screening is just incredible. A child could see it doesn’t make sense

“These are very sensitive tests we’re using. It is very easy to get false positives”. (From cross contamination)
Unbelievable (though not really). They may as well send them to the local children’s nursery to get processed.
Worth watching – this is the type of stuff which resonates with Joe Dickhead Public

Lol! “This one’s green!”
Wow. That’s all I can say right now about the lab practices demonstrated.
I’d that the new rapid tests? The ones that found even fewer positive cases than the PCR tests…?
They are chucking them all in trays together. The only ones getting priority are the private VIP ones – Emirates, elite sport etc. Some tests are staying in boxes for 24+ hrs before even being unpacked.
Mike Yeardon called this two months or more ago. While in perfect conditions the FPR is between 0.8 and 4 percent. In the testing industry we’ve built up overnight? Could be almost all positives have to be considered FPs

It’s a disgrace from someone who should know better (Matthew Lynn). There is also an article from Mrs Piers Morgan (Celia Walden) that is equally disgraceful. Comments switched off. Complaints on the live blog about it.
I read that too but don’t really care what she has to say about this. Not worth engaging with.
Lockdown sceptics would be better off simply not funding mainstream media propaganda outlets. They act against our interests so what is the point in giving these people a living to enslave us?
I cancelled my Telegraph subscription due to the general scaremongering and Celia Walden articles. I now just give money to the independent media outlets who support the anti lockdown cause.
Yeah, I have no idea why people pay for the guardian et al. They do not represent us.
The Grad is free, it isn’t cluttered with jumping adverts and you don’t have to dodge a load of fake boobs thrust in your face.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing else good about it.

get your point about adverts etc I just can’t stand the woke narrative.
Yes. I won’t be renewing mine. I only subscribed to the DT so I could follow Toby’s links. The Spectator didn’t even pass the free trial!
That’s what I do.Our TV license money that we no longer pay goes to Triggernometry, Mahyar Tousi and The Free Speech Union.
Matthew Lynn (author), a pro-vaxxer of the worst kind. He’s talking total codswallop, and he’s an award-winning wanker.
I’ve boycotted the Telegraph since it went Covidmental in March.
Saw a couple of encouraging headlines a week or so ago and considered subscribing. Not now, not ever if they can print tripe like this.
The problem is: I don’t think ‘the plan’ is for us to get back to normal. The agenda is the ‘great reset’. Whether it ever happens is another matter, but ‘they’ can’t surely see the vaccine as a panacea because ‘they’ don’t want a panacea.
The vaccine is the key to the immunity/digital passport.You will need this to travel,work go to pubs,restaurants etc.That is why there is such joy in newsrooms at the announcement of the vaccine.
Once we are all tracked and traced then they can move onto the next stage of the plan.
It feels like they want to brand us like cattle.
I wonder about this idea that effectively you’d be forced to have a covid vaccination to be allowed to travel abroad. Consider for example the current advice for travel to Laos. You should:
‘Confirm (in other words, make sure yourself that) primary courses and boosters are up to date as recommended for life in Britain – including for example, seasonal flu vaccine (if indicated), MMR, vaccines required for occupational risk of exposure, lifestyle risks and underlying medical conditions.
Courses or boosters usually advised: Diphtheria; Hepatitis A; Tetanus.
Other vaccines to consider: Hepatitis B; Rabies; Typhoid.
Selectively advised vaccines – only for those individuals at highest risk: Cholera; Japanese Encephalitis.
No yellow fever vaccination certificate required for this country.’
So, as others here have said, there’s only a few countries worldwide where you need an actual yellow fever certificate. Laos isn’t one of them. For Lao, all the rest is advice, a.k.a. ‘guidance’.
For malaria, which you can’t vaccinate against, you are advised to take anti malarial pills beforehand only if visiting certain areas.
So why would a country require compulsory CV19 vaccination if flu certificates aren’t mandatory, when it’s demonstrably less deadly?
I cant believe I have just read this dystopian trash and his reference to, it just needs ‘a tweak’ to the law. That is what our law system has now become, thanks to our useless, criminally inert parliament – something that can just be tweaked with no scrutiny or debate. Has this author never heard of the Nuremberg Code or have ant concept why this code was devised. I guess he wore his poppy for a bit of virtue signalling.

Truth is immutable whether we believe it or not but lies depend on us believing them.
Is this guy a bit of a bullshitter?
Find out for yourself. I’ve tried to unpick his stuff and I agree on his knowledge of banks and their ability to foreclose on homes via use of common law. The idea is that a contract is only valid if it follows a set of fundamental and simple laws.
But the peoples arrest of the MPs? From what I read it seems like they are doing this as part of a peoples court. I don’t know. I get lost when he speaks of his support from very respected lawyers, it’s sounds legit. But then I’m back to the Peoples Court tokenism of it.
There’s still a lot of Common Law around but the courts will just throw it out if it doesn’t sit well with the modern world.
Maybe he has someone who can argue the point of law from a common law basis. It seems to rest on the opening gambit of tbe Court establishing authority over a sovereign individual from its base statutes. Drawing out the Admiralty aspect of the laws under which they want you to stand. I can see how that would work if they are trying to enforce a contract over you etc.
But how you can achieve this on the level of arrest of MPs I have no clue.
So was it true that Wancock was being arrested? Maybe that was the name they had on the warrant, so they couldn’t do it.
Apparently the paperwork was issued today for his arrest. I don’t see it happening.

The Archbishop commented: “The Church has always sought to move with the times whilst honouring its long history. We think we have achieved the perfect balance between ancient and modern.”
This is what they said in July:
“We’re just praying for God to have mercy on Blackburn with Darwen at this time. Prayer works. We believe that God is listening to us.
They’ve now given up on God, apparently.
NHS worship replaced religion for most people. Most churches might as well close for alternative use, religious figures have been completely useless, I suspect they have received some government bribe for property maintenance or other promises to keep them onside.
I have met many ordinary Christians at anti lockdown events but never seen a single priest take a stance other than to preach about taking the vaccine and obey the government.
Some at the Christian institute and Christian concern are taking a stand but Christians of all people really need to be more vocal about something as deceitful and unjust as this.
Appalling! This is the latest thing in the divide, labelling anyone with genuine concerns as a nut case. It is truly awful to see how degenerate our nation has become, some people actually believe 4000 a day could die. The church as a whole seems complicit in the whole thing, it’s awful.
Today’s update mentions Angel Baptist Church – Brave Boys in Blue Break Up Baptism. That’s the true church, resisting tyranny.
They should be doing something essential, like click and collecting from John Lewis, not doing pointless stuff like saving their immortal souls. The Covid vaccine ain’t going to pay for itself, you know.
Darwinism in action… Sigh.

2020 – The War on the People. The Globalists’ “Operation Barbarossa”.
Globalists simply can’t live with the idea of populism, the refusal of the masses to be directed by an elite.
I hope populists like Farage have learnt the lesson from Orban. It’s not good enough to win free and fair elections against them. You have to dismantle their structures of influence. After 4 years Trump still has an FBI that won’t lift a finger to investigate any allegation of election fraud by Democrats.
I hope Trump is not dependent on the FBI. But I do think we have evidence here of where Trump went wrong. As Bannon seemed to understand, there was one chance to redefine institutional America, and the West. Trump was just too moderate, tried to be too consensual. He’s being punished for that now.
“we have evidence here of where Trump went wrong…” well he got more votes than any incumbent before him, yet [supposedly] lost to a guy who struggled to come up with any clear-cut policies in the last 9 months, apart from – pledging to open up the southern border during an international pandemic, and offer tens of millions of
illegalsundocumented Democrats a path to citizenship, healthcare, legal representation; to be paid for essentially by working class Americans currently struggling to feed themselves. Apparently that was the winning strategy. 🙂Yeah, the steal is blatant. Even taken at face value the result raises questions, and the failure of the meedja to ask those questions is notable in itself. Key question: where did all those new voters come from?
Are we really expected to believe that Creepy Joe galvanised first time voters who had stayed at home for Obama? Well no, supposedly Biden’s wave came from ex-Republicans, which covers (cough, fits with) the large number of split votes. But as Trump did clearly attract a vast number of voters, for that to hold up you have to believe Trump galvanised large numbers of first time voters – who had not bothered to vote for him in 2016. Yeah, me neither.
I think you’re right. Sloppy Steve called it right. Trump’s always looking to do deal. Sometimes you can’t do a deal. He also has that businessman’s idea of putting a “good guy” in a top post knowing they will do a “good job”, thinking that’s a solution. It’s not in a bureaucracy. Totally different sorts of dynamics apply.
I saw an amazing interview with Bannon about two weeks before the election. He predicted:
– The opinion polls giving Biden a 10 point lead were totally (and deliberately) wrong. He was right.
– The vote would be much closer but the Democrats would move to steal the election, by fraudulent practices in key states. He was right.
– Trump would need to be adamantine in refusing to accept the fraudulent result but he would be on the back foot because the media would pile in to support Biden’s fake win. He would need to mobilise all his forces while putting together his legal challenge.
The Democrats would unleash violence to support Biden. He was right.
I wasn’t aware of that interview. Clearly spot on.
I hope Trump can pull this off, and that he moves afterwards to validate the deepest terrors of his enemies, starting with anti-trust action against big tech.
Can he do it? The alternative is a definitively post-democratic future, so I hope so.
So, with our wonderful, flawless, nothing could possibly go wrong Covid tests (massively more than any other country in Europe), we also have the most number of ‘Covid Deaths’. One for Columbo I think.

Wonderful! Thanks for the belly laugh. They don’t come so easily these days…
Probably been asked before but why do all police officers now wear masks outside? It’s very intimidating.
That’s why!
When wearing masks started to be talked about I asked a traffic cop whether he/they had a view on masking while driving.
He said very neutrally
“We don’t wear them “.
So they become empty vessels, cowardly autonomous goons
They’re probably sick of people complaining:
“I nearly had another stroke earlier as I walked into Asda. Outside was a Police Office (unit number #284BF) who was NOT wearing a mask!
The Police should be setting an example. I am forced to walk to the shop because I daren’t get in a taxi and there are hardly any buses. I have not got a clue how to use online shopping.
That officer might have killed me. I am going to get a test done tomorrow and If I die within the next 28 days, I have recommend that my lawyers proceed to charge the officer with manslaughter.
I expect much better from the British Police.”
To hide their faces
Sorry if it’s been asked before –
Remember about a month ago there was a study from Denmark on whether masks worked which seemed to be being suppressed?
What happened to it in the end?!
Three major medical journals refused to publish it, including The Lancet, but I believe it was printed in a normal Danish daily paper.
It still hasn’t seen the light of day AFAIK. No idea what’s going on behind the scenes.
No progress that I’m aware of. I’m afraid that even if it did get published and the results are as we suspect, it would be completely swept under the carpet. One lone study could not be allowed to overturn the now near religious belief in the benefit of masks.
This is a much better one that PROVES that even under a military quarantine masks do not work, as well as all the other rubbish.

Why is this not hands down NPIs Do Not Work?! I only wish this virus had more balls and had gone through the whole world already, it’s taking forever!
The FUN part is that there is nothing new happening… They always use pneumonia for make belief pandemics for a good reason!
Perhaps it has, since these pointless PCR tests pick up bits of dead stuff. Lots of healthy people ”with” it obviously – but isn’t that what herd immunity would be?
For whatever it’s worth, here’s the description of the study. It’s called DANMASK-19, and the associated clinical trial has the code NCT04337541.
I’m feeling pretty low tonight. I had thought it was looking better, their figures had been proved to be crap and even mainstream papers questioning the egregious use of data. But the pressure has been ramped up. Heneghan dismissed, vaccine welcomed, alternative perspectives derided. I thought I had detected that the public had finally seen through it. But I’m in despair now. I keep thinking about everything we’ve lost, too much to mention, but the govt keep piling it on. There is no mainstream narrative building against it, even
Sweden seems to have been cobbled. I have never felt so impotent, angry and frankly ill as I do now.
Reasons to be cheerful:
let’s just get straight to the long time in prison bit shall we?
That’s a nice dream… But that scoundrel MUST remain in office until the next G7 gather where he must transmit the ORDERS he received from Bill Gates and Friends (other Billionaires and the SRF).
If he can’t handle the pressure then Bill Gates will have to return to DS10 again to transmit the ORDERS to the new jester in office.
Seems a bit old fashioned transmitting ORDERS in person. What’s wrong with unhackable encrypted both ends communication?
They do not care about fashions… Just efficacy and efficiency.
Your English isn’t very good.
I feel like lockdown scepticism is still placed in the “conspiracy theory” category by most. This enables it to be dismissed without having to have any arguments or examine the evidence. However there are now several high profile sceptics, including some who supported the first lockdown. I think Lawrence Fox is working on a proper launch of his party, which I hope will be strongly pro-freedom and anti-lockdown. I think there are some signs of hope.
I was pleased to see that even the Guardian has run some stories about the effect of lockdown on the vulnerable, (including a story with OFSTED evidence of how some children have significantly regressed).
The penny hasn’t dropped that lockdowns are an insane waste of life, but hopefully there are signs that people are realising the scale of what has happened.
I am still depressed most days though.
Remember that it’s always darkest just before dawn. Keep the faith.
It does just seem to keep getting darker though, he’s not wrong.
It might still only be late evening…
I try not to get too pessimistic on here because of the people such as yourself, and others who are having such a tough time.
It’s not easy for any of us, but it is always true that there is someone who is suffering more.
I am not a natural optimist – but when I see your posts, I have to try to say something that I hope might help in some way.
Please ignore this one DRW – it wasn’t for you.
But it isn’t: it’s quite light just before dawn, as I observed when I walked my dog this morning.
Indeed. But I do think this is going to be a tougher fight than ever I expected.
It’s become clearer and clearer by the weeks that this is all wrapped up in a much, much bigger battle. As Delingpole says, it’s not a conspiracy if they tell you what they are planning.
The big battle is populism v elite-controlled politics.
We need to migrate en masse from Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems to whatever is an effective populist vehicle. As things stand that is likely to be the Reform Party (note: the pro-globalist Electoral Commission is deliberately dragging its heels on a simple name change).
I predict if the Reform Party puts together a freedom platform – We will end the lockdown, give you back your pubs, let you meet your family, let you decide about a vaccine, let you decide what car you buy, defend free speech – they will rapidly climb to a lead in the polls.
Totally agree OKUK.
Arnie.
The First Past the Post system is an impediment to smaller parties but in a situation where a populist party can get to 30% , then all bets are off. If it was a concentrated vote, that could deliver a thumping parliamentary majority.
The new factor now I think is GPD – General Political Disillusionment.
We’ve been put through Hell in such a careless fashion by our political elite that as soon as the virus is “over” (like the war in 1945) there will be a real hunger for change – real change for the better.
Yeah, you are right. Populism is kryptonite to this scum, it’s what they fear most. That’s if they let us vote again, without using tactics like we have just seen in the US.
Exactly. Wholesale electoral fraud is more difficult in the UK bug they might try ploys like deregistering parties a couple of months before a General Election on spurious grounds.
Trouble is, I have a negative gut feeling about Farage. I must admit I have my prejudices after the way the Brexit party recruitment was handled and the ‘surrender’, as I see it at the end, a very similar format to UKIP. Reading his comments in the DT today, his attitude to lockdown, vaccine, virus facts is very much on the narrative. For someone who espoused the tenets of freedom and sovereignty as the purpose of Brexit, he seems very luke warm on those in this current situation. I was once an avid Farage fan, but this just smacks of the same format as the Brexit campaign, and I now don’t trust him, particularly as he is relatively on board with the current barrative.
I remember the time I went off Boris, years ago, but proved to be right. It was when he was editing the Spectator, and he called those opposing the invasion of Iraq as ‘Saddamites’. Ended my subscription that day, never to be renewed and my view of him then has now been proven.
Absolutely! Trouble is – will this bunch ever ”allow” a proper election to take place? If they do, they’ll have to use Dominion software (you know – the stuff they’re using now to produce the ”infection cases”).
This is true. I feel it gets darker given how pathetic the politicians seem to be. Even the so called sceptics. The sceptic analysts are just angry now. The see the importance of strong protest now. The data is in. They know its a hoodwink.
However, if any sceptic politician had a similar attitude they’d join a protest. David Kurten was at the London one over tne weekend, but Desmond Swayne surely must feel in his bones that he must make a move to the streets now. Parliament rolls back and forth between sceptical speeches from some to eerie quiet.
It needs to go up a level soon. Its building but if we could get something like the Portuguese Court decision in tbe UK it would be a massive boost.
I still can’t get over the hypocrisy of our MP, who voted FOR this lockdown, then immediately joined the ”rebels”!
It is looking better. More people are out on the streets in more countries, the official data is now so obviously bogus. As someone said here yesterday has anyone heard of asymptomatic flu, or asymptomatic pneumonia? If you’re not ill, you haven’t got it. And in Liverpool where they are going mental with their testing only 004% have been positive, and most of them will be false. They can’t keep the bulshit going for much longer. And now there are at least 70 (mostly) Tory MPs against further lockdowns. Where I live no-one’s taking any notice anyway. Went for a walk in a popular forest last Friday, scores of people, cars and dogs. Never saw a soul out in May/June..
“Never saw a soul out in May/June.”

Actually some 75% of people found to test positive for flu have no symptoms. The real question, as with CV19, is whether they’re infectious to others. Probably not.
If people have to resort to telling healthy asymptomatic people they are carrying Covid, doesn’t this reek of desperation as there are very few people actually sick with Covid symptoms and this falls under you wouldn’t need to resort to this in a real pandemic category.
I went to the local NT property last week (before my membership runs out, not to be renewed until they change their agenda). Far more cars than usual, even at weekends, and a young man said that people were driving in individually and joining up for a walk. I’m glad that people are finding a way around silly rules, even in a minor way. It’s a start.
Be strong. The narrative is breaking down. Eg, if they are trying to pretend that Boris has been re-infected, then that means ‘the vaccine’ is no good. There seem to be a lot of internal problems in number ten. If, as is being predicted by some, a Brexit betrayal takes place, that is going to make the government even less popular.
There continues to be a rising number of doctors officially speaking up

Protesting Danes stopped their fascist politicians from implementing a proposed vaccine law. The politicians who proposed it should be sacked in my opinion, but it’s still a victory.
I am feeling the same today. Hearing Handjob getting away with clear lies (first on talk radio and then in the “briefing”) has depressed me thoroughly. He has become more brazen recently and will now actually commit to calling people like Heneghan a liar.
The only silver lining in this shit-show is that I can take comfort in having passed the test confirming that I cannot be corrupted. You can torture as much as you like but I will never pretend to believe something that I know to be a lie. And I am never taking your dubious, unnecessary, untested, extortionate experimental vaccine. Go fuck yourselves.
The only way I can see out of this is the hope that someone will cockup. It will happen. Just a stray unauthorized question from a meeja taking head in the conference today would have done it. “So Mr Hancock, given that you have detected 700 cases in Liverpool and you have just told us that the new test is so accurate that only 500 of them will be false positives, doesn’t that mean that approximately ¾ of cases are false positives”. If this ever ends I will be devoting every spare effort into making sure that these criminals pay a heavy price for their crimes against humanity.
The more hysterical Hancock becomes, the more obvious his lies, the sooner he will be exposed.

Working from home could lead to more prejudice, report warns
What a load of utter bollocks from our national broadcaster. You would think getting all those ‘racist’ white people to work from home would be a good thing aswell.
Sometimes the BBC looks more like a student publication rather than a serious news organisation.
Working from home does have some consequences. I started a new job last week and insisted on working in the office, as I have a children at home and I would get nothing done. I am sitting alone in an office which must have a hundred or so empty desks on my floor. It is so hard to get to know people, or ask for help. No spontaneous chats in the kitchen or people passing the desk to say hello.
I’m sceptical that there would be any productivity improvement overall from working from home.
There isn’t, I do the absolute bare minimum working from home. It doesn’t help though that I have absolutely no means of a social outlet at the moment. Saturdays feel no different to a Monday.
That’s exactly the problem I have. Same four walls day in day out. No travel to client sites. I could just as easily be retired and the only difference would be that I wouldn’t have any work shit around me and I would have my personal space back.
I completely understand that about the days feeling the same. I had absolutely no idea how simple things – like being able to go to a concert or go to dinner with a friend were so important to me.
The innane emails from HR, posters and announcements about “hands, face and space” and “keeping safe” like I am a child don’t lift the spirits.
Mine has now sunk completely
The controlled media keeps on talking up the mandatory vaccine (no doubt they enjoying their part in Boris Johnsons ‘war’ effort as propagandists). I suspect it is just more fear mongering to make people feel powerless and submissive. Why consume their products, we know they are used against us? Don’t let them wear us down.
If their vaccine is so wonderful why are they doing this –
UK EXPECTS ‘HIGH VOLUME’ OF COVID VACCINE ADVERSE REACTIONS
The UK is preparing for a mass Covid vaccination campaign, anticipating the injection of millions of citizens with the experimental vaccine. As the date approaches to launch this unprecedented measure, the UK’s top health body, the MHRA, makes a shocking, urgent request which begs the question: ‘Is the Covid Vaccine safe?

This one is really doing the rounds – I’ve watched the last 10 uplifting minutes as recommended by someone earlier I think. Thanks Arnie.
It’s not a conspiracy theory if they’re telling you.
Yep. like in the US, Pelosi saying some time ago “whatever the count is” Biden is the next Pres!
And Biden said the Dems were running the biggest voting fraud ever in America. 🙂
Got to be one of the most disturbing photos ever.
I was in Halifax today , it was pretty busy considering most of the shops were shut , but the market was open and people were buying g their meat veg etc.
So people are s lot less fearful now . The government now this and have ramped up the scare tactics via Hancock today.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel boris is scared and has gone in to hiding the inner circle have gone in to melt down, and many Tory Mps are against continuing the lockdown.
It’s up to us to continue with passive resistance . Continue to meet up with friends , visit relatives etc get out and about . But most of all remain positive they will crack eventually.
It makes no difference. If every politician is replaced, the orders to lockdown and to impose restrictions will keep coming from the same source. Every country is under occupation.

On the Richie Allen show today Dr Vernon Coleman read from a Moderna White Paper that freely admitted that their vaccine will change your DNA. Check it out.
Thanks I will!
listening to that now
Emm, wonder if that will shaft the police with their DNA raping?
Good comment BTL in the mail:
Think you’ll find people are not anti-vaccine per se. Our puppet government, fronted by its ‘butcher’s dog’, may have shot itself in the paw. Its lockdown agenda has allowed people more than adequate time to research its contradictory conduct throughout and many have simply decided not to risk any vaccine marketed via such an outfit. Nothing to stop you taking it though Squigzo – have mine as well if you want!
Looks like Boris may make it illegal to say the vaccine is dangerous. Well, I don’t hear people saying it’s dangerous without any evidence but I do hear a lot of people saying it’s safe….. without the evidence.
If it’s safe, then there’s no need for indemnity for the manufacturers.
They can’t have it both ways.
But it can be made illegal to point that out.
The country is truly fucked, and Boris is enjoying it.
“Illegal to say that…”
Terrifying words. It may be illegal to have a contrary opinion and to speak it.
BTW, what is the definition of an “anti-vaxer”? I think that vaccinations should be on the basis of informed concent. Does that make me an “anti-vaxer”?
The worst Prime Minister we have ever had. FACT!
On Newsnight there was a bogus academic who told the viewers the newlu announced vaccines (that have never been properly tested), were both “very safe” and “quite safe”. I was just waiting for her say “almost safe” .
Mostly safe
I would say to these people, so would you drive a car where the breaks are deemed as quite or sort of functioning, or would you then be anti-car.

Ps what a fucking joke. LS now with adverts say “protect the NHS wear a mask” picture of two collaborators in black masks Tamboola. Suggest not bright or clever to be advertising such a product – LS going to be advertising Moderna Vaccine next? Have some moral fibre.
The ads are generated by big tech algorithms, it’s not Toby’s fault.
Yeha the adds are nothing to do with LS
AdBlock gets rid of ’em, and lots of other annoyances as well.
Just click on one or two to earn Toby some pennies. It doesn’t cost you anything.

Preprint regarding the testing approach in elite sport, NBA. PCR used but second tests after two days. on + players indicate whether the viral load is increasing or decreasing.

While it might seem to support such approaches in tightly controlled environments, it demonstrates that its simply not possible to use double testing on mass populations. Again. Mass screening is impossible
Mike Yeardon looking to run a lateral flow mass test on a couple of villages to prove their is no second wave given Liverpools 90,000 threw up 0.5%
https://twitter.com/MichaelYeadon3/status/1328113211632209922
I like Yeardon. He’s said lots of good stuff that makes a lot of sense. But to say there is no second wave from the lateral flow test results when you have a detected infection rate of 0.5% seems odd to me.
Over a month in a city of 500,000 that could amount to 10,000…Across the country that could be 140,000 people. And remember because the testing is voluntary it will include a higher proporion of “worried well” while a lot of people who feel unwell but have no personal transport are going to stay under the duvet rather than brave the elements to get tested.
My view, based on Henneghan and others is that there is a second wave and it’s a seasonal wave but with areas that escaped a real pasting first time round getting a bad run now (eg Liverpool) whereas parts that were struck badly I the Spring like London seem less affected now
Or maybe none of this of matters and we should have our civil liberties and lives back
Well quite! If these liberties we had can be do easily taken from us they are not liberties.
They were not taken, we lent them.
I think he distinguishes between a “second wave” and a seasonal increase for a now endemic seasonal virus.
As predicted here 6 months ago.
CEBM has taken apart the notion of a general ‘second wave’ for viral infections. Heneghan is certainly no advocate of the idea.
What is visible in mortality figures is a totally unexceptional, gentle rise, consonant with what happens every year at this time. It’s not a ‘wave’ in any terms but a fevered imagination. Even in the bent PCR terms, SARS-CoV-2 is a small part of that mortality – not a driver.
Not happening in the SW which had it easy first time around too.

NEWSNIGHT REVIEW
Tim Harford enjoying a soft ball interview from Oor Kirsty. A Wark in the park you might call it. None of that “interrupting every third word” she reserves for Tory MPs and anyone to the right of Angela Eagle.
Harford (FT) is a globalist par excellence but he’s not very honest about it. For most of the pandemic he has been posing as an objective and disinterested observer looking at the facts and figures.
But now he’s finally come out as being on board the Big Bus. His latest lie fest on Radio 4 is called uncompromisingly:
“How to Vaccinate the World”.
Hancock is a twat. Good night.
You forgot the operative word MASSIVE just after ‘a’ and before ‘twat’
My dad just cannot fathom why he still has a pulse.
Seconded. Good morning
Regarding the moderna test. How did they confirm the positive results. If it was via PCR, why weren’t more than 5 tests out of 15000 positive given the PCR false positive rate?
Would appreciate thoughts.
I don’t know if this has already been posted here, but it is really shocking.
There was some footage of a man being manhandled and arrested by police a couple of days ago. In particular it was posted on Peter Hitchens’ twitter feed. Although shocked, he declined to pass judgment as he didn’t know the reason for the arrest.
On the link below you can see what happened before the man was arrested. His companion, a woman, stopped to ask the police why they were apparently arresting a man outside a pub. The woman then realised that she was going to receive similar treatment so began to walk away with the man who was later manhandled.
Despite her protestations the masked-up militia followed them and would not leave them alone. I think it’s possibly one of the worst things I’ve seen – really appalling. The link below shows the footage made by his companion before the arrest:
https://twitter.com/UtdJXK/status/1327986090070974469
I think they arrested them because the woman made the mistake of mentioning the protest. That tipped them off that they were probably on their way there. Obviously no excuse but this sort of thing is happening all over the country now. Today’s UKColumn had a story about a 19 year-old girl arrested and held for 24 hours for speaking at a protest.
https://www.ukcolumn.org/
Disgusting.
1. When putting the chap down imagine how much worse the police might have behaved had they not known they were on camera.
2. The woman is retreating yet the police repeatedly approach yelling ‘two metres’ when it is clearly themselves invading her space.

The antidote to the BBC’s so called “podcast”, really an exercise in Goebbles-style strict censorship and Big Lies…
1. Don’t know if they’ve broken cover but so far from all I’ve seen the BBC and their media mates are simply pretending Trump’s legal team haven’t filed any evidence of fraud with the courts , despite there being hundreds of pages of sworn affadavits from witnesses that have been submitted. The lying BBC seem to be doing whatever lying CNN do.
2. Liar Sopel is also hiding the evidence on his twitter account.
3. The key will be I think whether the Trump Team can prove malpractice by the Democrat controlled Dominion-Smartmatics vote-counting system. I think the malpractice is there…but can they prove it?
4. Never underestimate Trump and his team, They are currently directing your attention to the courts but this election could be put right in the Republican controlled legislatures within the swing states.
“Never underestimate Trump and his team”
Impossible to do!
“The key will be I think whether the Trump Team can prove malpractice by the Democrat controlled Dominion-Smartmatics vote-counting system. I think the malpractice is there…but can they prove it?”
These vote counting systems are the same as last time so how come Hilary did not win then?
“this election could be put right in the Republican controlled legislatures within the swing states”.
I think that you are suggesting here that the states could put forward electors to the electoral college who would vote against the popular vote in their states against the will of the people. If this were to happen democracy in the US is finished and it would become no more than a Banana Republic.
Creating vaccines that are 90%+ effective seems a little too easy to me.
Whilst some may look at it as a miracle I would tend to err more on the side of it not actually being necessary. It won’t surprise me in the slightest if more vaccine candidates subsequently come out with equally high efficacy claims.
It’s not exactly a miracle if everyone and their dog can do them.
Especially if one of the conditions is: “It is essential that all mutations of the virus from now on are prevented. This includes animal species that could host a mutated version of the virus that could jump to humans. These must be exterminated until there are none left on the Earth. Forever.”
Switzerland has stopped reporting their deaths by age group in the last week. I wonder why……
The last time when such data was available on 12th November there had been a grand total of 7 deaths reported in the 40-49 year age group. A total of 14 people had died under the age of 50. Total ‘Covid’ deaths currently number 3158. As of last week more than 97% of deaths were in persons sixty years-old or older!
…….This information cannot be allowed to get out to the general public.
Local Live
Quiet day for covid news, 12 items about cases rising and spreading, numerous school classes self isolating.
Deaths ? Just the one elderly person in hospital with ‘underlying conditions’ which is somewhat low for the time of year.
Yesterday’s lead item was about a 24 year old murder
Still Not Solved.

Labour calls for anti vaxx censorship . . .
“But if your aim is to reassure those people that the vaccine is safe and effective, with minimal side effects, censoring anti-vaxxers won’t help. On the contrary, they will conclude that their concerns are well-founded. After all, if they were easily rebutted, why not engage with the anti-vaxxers in the public square? If the pro-vaxxers are relying on censoring their opponents to win the argument, that will make the fence-sitters more nervous, not less.”
I couldn’t agree more 👏👏👏
In response to the government’s mass vaccination plan the MRHA has issued an extremely urgent tender for a covid19 vaccine Adverse Reactions AI system which states their current system will not be able to handle the volume of adverse and unforeseen reactions they expect, quote (emphases added):
‘It is not possible to retrofit the MHRA’s legacy systems to handle the volume of ADRs that will be generated by a Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, if the MHRA does not implement the AI tool, it will be unable to process these ADRs effectively. This will hinder its ability to rapidly identify any potential safety issues with the Covid-19 vaccine and represents a direct threat to patient life and public health.’
Safety testing is thus going to be done via observation of the mass vaccinated population. The government has removed liability from vaccine producers and administrators by emergency legislation. The government’s maximum payout for injury is £120K. Government ministers, advisers, media and big tech state experimental vaccines are safe and risk-free, not consistent with the MRHA’s expectations.

Breaking news: lateral flow tests in Liverpool show 80% fewer cases than PCR.
So, some NHS workers have formed a gorup to oppose a probably perfectly safe vaccine, where were they when we needed them to oppose a demonstratably utterly unsafe lockdown? There’s plenty of us who are pro-vaxx and anti-lockdown, I can understand that also some people may have concerns about this vaccine AND oppose lockdown, but I can’t see how one could worry about the vaccine but not oppose lockdown. We needed those workers’ help fighting off the attacks on our basic liberties, supposedly made for the NHS’s sake, why do they only unite now to quibble about something so, comparatively, petty as a vaccine?
Now it takes Courts to decide what is has already been settled by science? Even the inventeorof the PCR test said this.
This Portuguese court ruling against PCR testing would get much wider publication across the alt-conservative landscape if you can link to a PDF of the court ruling in question, even if it’s in Portuguese. Even better with a full English translation. Without citing the document showing the ruling, the rest of us think it’s echo-chamber material and are reluctant to amplify it. Link to the PDF please…

As thousands (more) declared from the start of this debacle, SARS COV-2 is a computer generated fiction, from the WHO.
am a retired Canadian primary care/ER physician and have spent considerable effort to gather accurate info on this “pandemic” and recently signed “The Great Barrington Declaration”.
There is a serious lack of scientific rigor from one end of this debacle/catastrophe to the other.
The C19 “pandemic” could not have been declared,had the WHO not altered their definition of the term in 2009.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization 2011;89:532-538. doi: 10.2471/BLT.11.086173
IntroductionIn 2009, governments throughout the world mounted large and costly responses to the H1N1 influenza outbreak. These efforts were largely justified on the premise that H1N1 influenza and seasonal influenza required different management, a premise reinforced by the decision on the part of the World Health Organization (WHO) to label the H1N1 influenza outbreak a “pandemic”. However, the outbreak had far less serious consequences than experts had predicted, a fact that led many to wonder if the public health responses to H1N1 had not been disproportionately aggressive.1–3 In addition, concern over ties between WHO advisers and industry fueled suspicion about the independence and appropriateness of the decisions made at the national and international levels.4
Central to this debate has been the question of whether H1N1 influenza should have been labelled a “pandemic” at all. The Council of Europe voiced serious concerns that the declaration of a pandemic became possible only after WHO changed its definition of pandemic influenza. It also expressed misgivings over WHO’s decision to withhold publication of the names of its H1N1 advisory Emergency Committee.3 WHO, however, denied having changed any definitions and defended the scientific validity of its decisions, citing “numerous safeguards” for handling potential conflicts of interest.5
At stake in this debate are the public trust in health officials and our collective capacity to respond effectively to future disease threats. Understanding this controversy entails acknowledging that both parties are partially correct, and to resolve it we must re-evaluate how emerging threats should be defined in a world where the simple act of labelling a disease has enormous social, economic and political implications.
What sparked the controversySince 2003, the top of the WHO Pandemic Preparedness homepage has contained the following statement: “An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.”6 However, on 4 May 2009, scarcely one month before the H1N1 pandemic was declared, the web page was altered in response to a query from a CNN reporter.7 The phrase “enormous numbers of deaths and illness” had been removed and the revised web page simply read as follows: “An influenza pandemic may occur when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity.” Months later, the Council of Eu rope would cite this alteration as evidence that WHO changed its definition of pandemic influenza to enable it to declare a pandemic without having to demonstrate the intensity of the disease caused by the H1N1 virus.3
Since we know now that in most countries,there has not been an observed significant overall excess mortality in 2020,compared to previous years(see https://www.euromomo.eu),the whole thing should have been called off a long time ago,were the old definition of pandemic still adhered to.
This might be an appropriate item for legal action.
There are also serious concerns about the accuracy of the PCR tests.
Plus, there is strong evidence that perhaps 50% of populations may have preexisting immunity to C19(this would also disqualify C19 from being a pandemic):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZjtiqujql8
By now, many of my colleagues have found numerous effective treatment/prevention strategies for C19,some as simple as taking vitamin D(up to 50% of many populations are deficient in this vitamin and C19 severity and mortality is significantly elevated in vitamin D deficient individuals.
There seems to be an unexplicable resistance by mostly western health authorities to im these well documented/proven strategies/treatments.
I will spare the details.
hope this info is helpful.
