No Household Mixing After Lockdown Ends
People from different households won’t be allowed to mix in indoor spaces from December 3rd-24th, at which point the rule will be relaxed for five days before being reimposed, according to some of today’s papers. The Government is trying to spin this as the only way to “save Christmas” – and the Sun has bought that line – but that does beg the question, why prioritise saving Christmas over saving jobs? The Telegraph has more.
Boris Johnson has repeatedly promised that the national lockdown will be replaced with a “regional tiered approach” when it ends on December 2nd.
But Government sources say default restrictions across the country are likely to include a ban on mixing with other households until close to Christmas.
Ministers intend to announce an “end of lockdown package” next week, including a schedule for Britain’s vaccination programme and an expansion of mass testing, which they hope will soften the blow of further restrictions.
The plans aim to allow a loosening of restrictions for Christmas, with scientists suggesting a number of households might be allowed to “bubble” together for a short period. Christmas bubbles could last for five days.
Members of the Covid Recovery Group (CRG), the 70-strong collection of sceptical backbench Conservative MPs, aren’t happy about this, with one member of the group describing it as a continuation of lockdown by other means. Given that any restrictions imposed following the official end of lockdown on December 2nd will have to be approved by the House of Commons, the Government is facing a rebellion.
Robert Jenrick, the Communities Secretary, added fuel to fire on BBC Breakfast yesterday when he indicated a return to a “tiered structure” was planned for after December 2nd and said the Tier 3 restrictions – previously regarded as the most severe level – were just a “baseline”.
“We are reviewing the tiers so that when the national measures come to an end on December 2nd, we’re able to move the country, we hope, back into the tiered structure.
“We will be looking at whether the measures that we had in the old tiers were effective. Remember, they varied quite a bit in different parts of the country because in Tier 3 there was a baseline of measures, which the chief medical officer and others have always said was only the beginning.”
Asked about the introduction of a stricter Tier 4, Mr Jenrick said: “We haven’t come to a decision on that, but the Tier 3 that we had before was just considered a baseline.”
The Government has not yet made clear what Tier 4 might involve, but in Scotland the “level four” restrictions – reserved for areas with “stubbornly high” Covid rates – resemble England’s national lockdown restrictions, with measures including the closure of pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops.
Such measures are unlikely to be supported by the CRG, according to the Telegraph.
Former chief whip Mark Harper, the leader of the newly formed Covid Recovery Group (CRG) of around 70 Tory lockdown sceptics warned that any Tier 4 proposal was unlikely to win the support of Conservative MPs.
If all CRG members opposed the plans it would be enough to overhaul the Government’s working majority of 85, taking into account Sinn Fein MPs, who do not vote, the Speaker and the deputy Speaker.
Boris Johnson was forced to give MPs a say on future lockdowns after Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 committee of Tory backbenchers, threatened a rebellion over new coronavirus powers in September.
Mr Harper said: “If the attempt is to put most of England into a Tier 4 that will be seen as lockdown by another name, then I don’t think Conservative MPs will support it.
“The PM has been very clear that the current lockdown will end on December 2nd. Any attempt by Government to effectively continue the lockdown by another means will be very badly received by backbenchers.”
This will be the first real test for the CRG. I hope the MPs won’t compromise and vote for the reintroduction of the “tiered structure” on the condition it doesn’t include a fourth tier. The problem is, once a regionally varied structure has been put in place – even if the most severe restrictions are limited to Tier 3 – the Government won’t need the consent of the House of Commons before imposing new restrictions provided they aren’t imposed nationally. In effect, the CRG has just one bullet. Let’s hope it uses it wisely.
What Was That About Twice as Many Deaths, Sir Patrick?
At the hastily-convened Downing Street press briefing on October 31st, where Boris and his two closest scientific advisors set out the rationale for Lockdown II, Sir Patrick Vallance said: “In terms of deaths over the winter, there’s the potential for this to be twice as bad or more compared to the first wave.”
So how’s that prediction working out for you, Sir Patrick?
The ONS data released yesterday for the w/e November 6th suggests not terribly well. 1,124 people died with Coronavirus in England and Wales on April 8th, the peak of the first wave (1,445 in the whole of the UK), whereas the worst day in this latest data set was November 3rd in which there were 298 deaths in England and Wales. Far from being “twice as bad or more”, that’s roughly 25%.
True, yesterday’s Covid death toll for the whole of the UK was 598 according to PHE, but that’s still only about half of the April peak, and the 7-day moving average is much lower at 425.
The rationale for maintaining the lockdown beyond December 2nd, or putting any regions under Tier 4 restrictions, is looking more and more threadbare.
Stop Press: If you look at the moving seven-day average for cases from October 26th to November 12th, there’s not much sign of the “exponential growth” we heard about on October 31st, either. Chris Whitty’s 50,000 cases a day and 1,000 deaths a day – or was it 4,000? – now look even more embarrassing than Sir Patrick Vallance’s scaremongering.
The Covid Ward
Yesterday, the Times ran a story about Stephen Lavin, a teacher, who caught Covid while awaiting an operation at Glasgow Royal Infirmary as the virus spread through his ward. This caught my eye because Stephen had already reached out to me on Twitter, urging me to tell his story. Consequently, I asked Sandra Barwick, a former Telegraph journalist, to write up his story.
Life was already tough for Stephen Lavin on the Friday afternoon after Bonfire Night, when he was admitted to Glasgow Royal Infirmary to have a surgical wound assessed. He and his wife, Bernadette, had been self-isolating together since July last year, after his operation for advanced colorectal cancer and chemotherapy – isolation which turned to full shielding when news of Covid broke.
His mood wasn’t helped when, just as he was going into hospital, he heard that his cousin had caught Covid in the Royal Liverpool Hospital and had subsequently died. On Saturday, because it was then clear that 56 year old Stephen needed an operation, he himself was given a Covid test. Those were only given, he was told, to those over 70, or due for surgery, or showing or admitting to symptoms.
While he waited overnight, a drunk man was admitted at 2am from A&E, without being tested for Covid, although he was coughing and refusing to wear a mask. At one stage he tried to hug Stephen, and even went out to smoke a cigarette, unaccompanied, and then returned and demanded that a relative come and take him away because “these bastards won’t let me out for a fag”. The trained teacher’s anxiety during all this had, not surprisingly, rocketed to a point where he was now thinking of discharging himself too.
The next day Stephen’s Covid test came back negative, and the surgery went ahead. As he lay in a new ward on Tuesday, still worried by the lack of infection control in the hospital and by the implications of the testing regime, a patient from the original ward was admitted. He, it turned out, had had a Covid test on November 5th – being over 70 – but it was not until Wednesday, six days later, that a nurse came onto Stephen’s ward to announce that everyone in it must be also be tested – immediately. Apparently, the new arrival’s test had come back positive.
According to Bernadette, Stephen’s wife, who talked to him on his phone, he was, unsurprisingly, now shaking with anxiety. But his sense of urgency did not seem to be felt within the hospital. On Thursday morning he was told that the test results were not a priority: he must wait in the queue. By 10.20am Stephen’s temperature was raised, whether from his infected wound or Covid he hardly knew. By lunchtime, the staff were in enhanced PPE, taking the ward curtains away in bin bags and washing all surfaces. In the afternoon, two senior managers came and apologised about the situation but insisted that everything was being done to ensure the wards were Covid-free. At 6.22pm the results came back. Every patient in the ward was positive.
By Friday, Stephen’s temperature was 38.5C, and others around him were sweating and coughing. Student nurses and doctors appeared to be filling in for staff who were off. Some staff confided that they were not tested when they displayed symptoms. Rather, they were simply told to go home and isolate. They’re not even tested after dealing with Covid patients. On Saturday, he finally spoke with the Head Nurse, who faithfully promised to raise his many – by then very many – concerns with senior management.
“Due to their protocols, I have gone from being Covid free on Saturday night to Covid positive on Wednesday,” says Stephen. “Their protocols are nonsensical.”
While he waits to hear back from senior management, Bernadette, alone at home, has another, much greater worry. “I haven’t been able to see him since November 6th,” she says. “And I can’t be sure if I will see him again.”
Stephen’s main concern is that he believes the vast majority of people in Glasgow, and indeed the UK, assume that everyone entering hospitals is screened and tested. But sadly, this is not the case. He hopes that this story will, at least, encourage debate about existing testing protocols in order to reduce the amount of in-hospital infections.
Stop Press: A reader has alerted me to the fact that her hospital made her visit conditional upon getting a Covid test, the test result being negative and then agreeing to isolate for five days. I fear this is now the norm in English hospitals.
Today I was referred by my consultant for an endoscopy and a flexible sigmoidoscopy. On arriving home I was telephoned by a hospital appointments clerk and offered an appointment on Saturday for the procedures. After telling me what would happen and where to go she then said that I would have to have a test at their drive through centre the next day and self isolate until Saturday. Sensing my reluctance she asked if that was a problem and I said it was. I then asked if I would be refused the procedures if I didn’t have the test and she said I would be refused them.
Since I will not give in to blackmail I shall be forgoing the investigations.
£18 Billion PPE Scandal
Today’s front pages are dominated by what looks to be a growing scandal: the slipshod manner in which £18 billion worth of PPE contracts were awarded by the Government at the beginning of the coronavirus crisis. The hook for the story is a National Audit Office report on the affair, published today. The Daily Mail has more.
Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings were both drawn into the debacle after the spending watchdog said officials failed to consider potential conflicts of interests involving companies linked to them.
The National Audit Office revealed that officials had signed contracts for hundreds of thousands of facemasks which turned out to be unusable – wasting hundreds of millions of pounds.
The bombshell report found:
* Two of the companies named in the report have links to the Prime Minister’s former chief adviser;
* More than 1,300 contracts worth £10.5 billion were awarded by the Government with no competition whatsoever – increasing the chance of money being wasted;
* Ministers set up a separate VIP procurement route which allowed some companies to be fast-tracked for a decision – as long as they had the right connections;
* One in 10 suppliers processed through this high-priority lane (47 out of 493) obtained contracts compared with less than one in 100 suppliers that came through the ordinary lane (104 out of 14,892).
Rachel Reeves, Labour’s Cabinet Office spokesman, said: “The country deserves to have confidence their money is being spent effectively by the Government – and to know without doubt that friends and donors to the Conservative Party aren’t profiting from this pandemic.”
These were worth £18 billion, of which £17.3 billion were new contracts rather than contract extensions. Most of the money, £12.3 billion, went on PPE, with the remainder going on other equipment and virus testing.
Ministers, MPs and civil servants could refer businesses to a ‘high-priority’ lane and firms which were granted this VIP access were more than 10 times as likely to be awarded a contract as those in the ordinary lane.
Leads came into a dedicated mailbox, but officials only recorded the sources in half of cases, although many were from ministerial offices following tip-offs from MPs about firms in their constituencies.
This will be grist to the mill of the conspiracy theorists, but it looks more a cock-up to me. Nevertheless, this does appear to be an example of “convergent opportunism” (© Mike Yeadon).

Police Temporarily Stopped From Imposing £10,000 Fines
There’s good news and bad news in the Guardian. The paper reveals that an emergency order was imposed last Friday, preventing police officers from handing out £10,000 fines – that’s the good news. But the order has now been lifted and the police are back to their old tricks – that’s the bad news.
Police forces can resume handing out £10,000 fines for breaches of coronavirus regulations, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has said following discussions with the Government.
It comes after an emergency order was made to stop officers handing out the fines to Covid rule-breakers, amid concerns the government’s flagship deterrent is unfair.
Officials are scrambling to stop the crackdown on large gatherings in England and Wales, which was announced by the Prime Minister this summer, from imploding after serious problems emerged.
Scores of £10,000 on-the-spot fines have been issued for those organising anti-lockdown protests, student parties, raves and large weddings. The fines are part of measures to enforce rushed-through Covid legislation banning gatherings of more than 30 people.
But many of those who challenged the penalties in court had the penalties reduced to hundreds of pounds instead after judges decided the level of fine should be determined by an individual’s ability to pay, according to a source with knowledge of police discussions.
On Tuesday evening police issued a new statement saying the issue had been resolved after forces had the option of issuing a £10,000 fines again, but would have to explain that people could fight it in court. The NPCC said: “People found to be in breach of the regulations relating to gatherings of over 30 people will be made fully aware of their options when faced with a £10,000 FPN (fixed penalty notice), to ensure fairness.”
On Friday, forces were told of the “urgent” problem in a letter from the NPCC and told to stop issuing the FPNs on those blamed for organising gatherings of more than 30 people.
The letter, seen by the Guardian, said: “With immediate effect we are asking all forces to cease issuing FPNs with a £10,000 fine of enforcement.” It said forces could instead issue court summonses or make arrests.
The letter from the NPCC to all chief constables and heads of criminal justice in England and Wales reveals behind-the-scenes concerns about flaws in the rushed measures.
A joint ethics committee of police, prosecutors and court officials had met and decided to order the halt, it said. “This arises from the issue of a significant inequitable position for those who elect to pay the fine, versus those who do not and progress to the courts and are subject to means-testing on conviction.”
As I revealed on Lockdown Sceptics last week, if you’re issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice for breaching one of the coronavirus regulations you should refuse to pay it and instead opt to go to court. If you do that, the charge will either be dropped or the penalty reduced – as confirmed by this story.
Dr Clare Craig: “We Are In A False Positive Pseudo-Epidemic”
A member of the Lockdown Sceptics team – Rob Tyson – has heroically transcribed Dr Clare Craig’s recent interview with Alex McCarron on the Escape From Lockdown podcast. Here’s an extract:
Alex: Can we sort of jump straight into the fact that everybody who’s sort of been looking at the data knows that there’s this thing called the casedemic, but your works shows that actually the problems with the casedemic are actually much more profound than people, even us, quite realize. So can you tell us what’s going on?
Dr Craig: I can try. I mean, a lot of people try to find some data point that they can trust because one by one these data points are being questioned. And so people put a lot of faith in COVID death counts. They think, “Well, they must be true because, you know, how on earth can you misdiagnose someone’s death?” But I’m afraid that even the death count, you have to have a bit of scepticism about because of how we are testing and how we are diagnosing. And there’s a phenomenon that’s worth considering when we’re looking at the situation that we’re living through at the moment, which is called a false positive pseudo epidemic.
There are a few key factors to understand about that, one of which is when you’re living through it, everybody involved believes they’re in an epidemic because the data looks like an epidemic, which is why it’s got that name. But there are a few things that start to show up in the data that you can unpick to figure out that actually this isn’t the case. What starts to happen is that because the data points are related to testing and not to each other, they start to do really funny things.
So one of the things that’s a relatively easy image to understand is looking at ITU admissions compared with deaths, and ICNARC which do ITU audits have just published on this. They show a graph with a familiar spike in the upturn of the ITU patients and then coming back down, followed after a period of time by a spike in deaths coming back down. That was in spring. And you see these two lines followed in parallel all the way through. And then they’ve superimposed what’s happening now on this graph, and you can see a much more shallow line of increased patients in ITU, and below that in parallel the increasing number of deaths.
But in the last couple of weeks that line of deaths has done a sharp upturn, and it looks like it’s going to overtake the line of the number of patients in ITU. And so there are other ways to look at the data that back this up as well, but the point is that we’ve got to a situation where the number of people dying per case diagnosed is on the rise compared with the summer, but the number of people with a severe case (being admitted to hospital, being on ITU) has fallen since summer, which is just slightly baffling, you know.
How can you get to a situation where the severity is reducing but the deaths are increasing? That is quite difficult to get your head around. I don’t think we need to go over it again, but there is this discrepancy that doesn’t make sense, and it especially doesn’t make sense when you realize that 80% of the Covid deaths at the moment are in hospital. So if they’re in hospital, they should be in the hospital admission data, they should be on ITU, and they’re not showing up in that data.

Hancock’s Willing Executioners
I often receive emails from parents in despair at how their children’s schools have taken it upon themselves to uncritically regurgitate Number 10’s propaganda – and I’m publishing one of them below. There’s something rather odd about this, given that teachers are usually so suspicious of anything the Government says, particularly if they know something about the subject, e.g. education policy. Aren’t these the very people that pride themselves on equipping their students with critical thinking skills? Why the willingness to lap up everything they’re told about “the crisis” by politicians they wouldn’t dream of voting for?
One theory is that it’s an instance of Gell-Mann Amnesia – a phenomenon identified by the physicist Murray Gell-Mann – which his friend the novelist Michael Crichton described as follows:
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward – reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
No doubt there’s an element of this going on, but it doesn’t explain the zeal with which most teachers have taken up the authorities’ Covid narrative and appointed themselves enforcers of “safety” protocols, often going much further than required by their local councils or the Department for Education. And it isn’t just schools, obviously, but any person or institution that enjoys some power or authority – doctors, vicars, counsellors, civil servants, scientists, MPs of all stripes, journalists, broadcasters, etc. Look at Piers Morgan, a man I know and like and whose willingness to call out looney left nonsense I admire. He seems to have been driven quite mad by his desire to enforce Covid orthodoxy.
I’m not sure I understand the psychology here, but I imagine this behaviour – people in authority energetically promoting the narrative that has enabled a group of politicians to suspend civil liberties and assume dictatorial powers – is a common feature of all countries that sink into authoritarianism.
It’s a commonplace of left-wing intellectuals that the greatest danger to liberal democracy is posed by conservative ethno-nationalists – Trump, Orban, Bolsonaro. But even though there’s a right-wing populist in Downing Street and he certainly bears his share of the blame for the ugly turn our society has taken, it’s been the liberal left that has embraced the Covid narrative – and what it regards as the necessary suspension of our liberties – most enthusiastically. Witness the recent call by the Labour Party, along with the Royal Society and the British Academy, to criminalise anti-vaxxers. Who would have thought, prior to the pandemic, that it would be scientists demanding that a Tory Government be empowered to decide what can and can’t be said in the public square? Now that they have tasted the wine of power, they have forgotten themselves.
Which reminds me. I must read Hitler’s Willing Executioners.
Anyway, here is the piece by a concerned mum who, like the rest of us, cannot quite believe that the very same institutions that used to be hotbeds of opposition to Tory policies have become little outposts of Downing Street.
On arriving home from school yesterday, my youngest started with, “Now don’t get mad Mum and fire off loads of emails, but I need to tell you what happened in tutor time today.”
“Okay,” I said.
They had an assembly in which a teacher presented them with a data slide containing the number 51,540.
“What is THIS number children?” she asked.
The pupils dutifully provided the answer they knew was expected: “The number of Covid deaths, Miss.”
Teacher: “That means about a thousand people a week have died, which is about the size of our school! We are in a dangerous pandemic and it’s clearly getting worse!”
There then followed video footage of American doctors attending to critically ill patients at the height of the pandemic. Then another on the vital importance of wearing face masks, with strict instructions not to keep touching them.
At that very moment, according to my child, another teacher entered the classroom, approached the teacher giving the talk, and pushed his mask down to his chin before speaking.
Thankfully, my child was outraged by this blatant propaganda, but the scaremongering went on and on. What right do the staff have to peddle such unbalanced information? Are the teachers now paid to scare children, acting as henchmen for our dysfunctional Government? Are they unable to do their own “self-directed learning” – a cliché I’ve heard them utter so many times my eyes glaze over whenever I hear it? A quick bit of “independent inquiry” involving the websites of the ONS and the NHS would enable them to put those deaths in context – 51,540 is less than 10% of all-cause mortality in the UK in 2019.
Wouldn’t it have been better to encourage children to seek out information about the virus themselves and make up their own minds – a task that would include weighing up apparently contradictory claims made by scientists and doctors, crunching numbers, contextualising data, asking whether apparently objective information being presented by politicians to the public is being distorted to serve their own agendas, and so on? Aren’t these the “life skills” schools are supposed to be equipping children with?
But silly me. It’s been apparent since March that my child’s school is no longer interested in real education or in raising courageous and questioning adults. Instead, they have become willing co-conspirators in Project Fear. It’s all about helping the Government control the behaviour of our children – not just when they’re at school, but in every aspect of their lives. Shame on them.

Straight Talking by Professor Anthony Brookes
Anthony Brookes, Professor of Genetics at Leicester University, was on Julia Hartley Brewer’s talkRADIO show yesterday and one Lockdown Sceptics reader was so impressed she transcribed some of it for us.
Julia began by asking Prof Brooks about the vaccines.
Prof Brookes: There are still many unknowns about the vaccines and although it’s great the initial data is positive, all the data show is they reduce symptoms in people who are vaccinated. It’s being described as it protects you from disease but what it means is it reduces symptoms. We don’t know if the vaccines reduce your chances of being infected, whether it creates some immunity and whether it makes you less infectious.
He added that it would be a good thing if young people get infected and develop natural immunity because that helps increase herd immunity (4m 3s).
When it comes to vaccinating the elderly and the vulnerable, he thought, best-case scenario, it could be done by spring but he didn’t see it happening (5m 17s). So, what to do in the meantime? More lockdowns or do we switch to mass screening? He saw the “moonshot” as “a problematic concept”.
Prof Brookes: It’s not viable, it’s not effective, it’s not appropriate. It will create hundreds of thousands of false positives each day so people will be isolating unnecessarily. It will create hundreds of thousands of false reassurances each day, people told they’re negative when they’re actually positive… Cost will be the equivalent of about six times the cost of the whole UK police force and almost approaching the cost of the whole NHS. That approach, I think, needs to be paused and re-evaluated.
JHB: This whole idea that the vaccines aren’t a quick solution to this problem – the mass testing isn’t a quick solution to this problem – is this fundamentally because this is a political problem rather than a medical problem?
Prof Brookes: I can’t remember who it was, but someone said this has been a political pandemic, not a medical pandemic and I think there’s a lot of truth in that…
My favourite part of this brilliant interview was when JHB says we’re not seeing the supposed deadliness of this terribly infectious disease being played out in hospitals and in the mortality figures (8m 35s).
Prof Brookes: There’s too much fear around and let me state some very basic facts… I’ll give you the absolute numbers today and people can take that away and make their own decisions about how scared to be. So, in terms of people actually infected today, it’s probably around 1% in the population, but the vast majority of those will have no symptoms and if you’re under about 65 it’s less risk than regular flu. The number of people dying today is the same as it would be any other year in total. People are dying of respiratory diseases today, it’s about the same as it normally would be; the thing is they’d normally die of flu and pneumonia, those diseases are very much reduced this year and it’s been replaced with Covid. The Covid deaths, just predicting from the charts and all other considerations, will continue to go up from here; I actually agree with the Government that it could approach the levels of death we had in wave one, I don’t think it will, I think it’ll top out at about two-thirds of that level in a couple of weeks’ time. The hospitals have increased their capacity beyond normal years, so they are less full in emergency care units than they would normally be, so it’s normally about 90-95, they’re about 85% this year, that’s because they’ve increased the capacity, but they’re in no way struggling to cope… The fact is the prevalence of the virus in terms of people carrying it has plateaued and is now starting to at least run at a flat level, it looks like it may be going down as well… It exists, it’s real, we need to be careful, but we shouldn’t be thinking of this as a major player.
Why Can’t I See My Disabled Son?
Today we’re publishing a heart-breaking piece by Vanessa Gray, the mother of a healthy but severely disabled 20 year-old who was deprived of contact with him throughout the first lockdown and, even now, is only allowed to visit him for an hour a week. Why are the rules that have been put in place to protect elderly care home residents being applied to residential facilities for healthy young adults with disabilities? There’s no rhyme or reason to it – it’s just another example of the lockdown sledgehammer being used indiscriminately, and to hell with the collateral damage.
I have a beautiful, gentle, handsome, fit 20 year-old son called Charlie, with severe mental disabilities, autism and an atypical form of epilepsy. He moved into a care home last July and attends a college locally for special needs autistic students. All was going very well and we used to have him home pretty much every weekend. Never could we have imagined at that time that within a few short months we would not be allowed to see him at all.
Then Lockdown comes in March – “Three weeks, to flatten the curve,” Boris said. Although I admit, despite the uncertainty at the time, the whole thing had a faint stench of bullshit about it, even back then. Information was already coming out from world leading scientists, based on a forensic study of available data, particularly Dr John Ioannidis and Professor Michael Levitt, that lockdowns were pointless and not the way to go. This whole lockdown business sent shivers down my spine because I knew it would have horrible implications for my son.
You see Charlie cannot speak, read or write. His cognitive age is about two-and-a-half. So how do you explain to him in any meaningful way that Mummy and Daddy are not coming to see you anymore and not bringing you home anymore – for what turned out to be months?
We have nightly face time calls organised by a carer – but there is no engagement from Charlie on an iPad. We engage with Charlie by holding his hand, sharing a piece of his favourite cake with him, reading him one of his favourite picture books or watching an episode of Fireman Sam together!
After over two long months, we were allowed to start bringing Charlie home again, as long as we filled out a mountain of paperwork declaring that no one had lost their sense of taste or smell, etc. – before we returned him. At least we could see him again – I wasn’t complaining.
Then along comes Tier two. We are allowed to take him out – but NOT bring him home. Restaurants were open so at least we could get out of the cold with him and go for a pub lunch.
Then five minutes later – Lockdown again! This time – ONE of us is allowed to take Charlie for a walk for ONE hour! So my husband and I tossed a coin as to which of us would be the one allowed to see him last weekend and take him out in the freezing cold. My husband won. I will go next weekend. It’s very silly because Charlie goes to college each day and his carers come and go from his home to their homes.
I don’t blame the care home for any of this. They have been as helpful as they could be and staff are fantastic. But rules are rules and obviously they can’t flout them. I blame the Government.

“The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated on an Unsuspecting Public”
This is glorious. Dr. Roger Hodkinson, ex-Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Examination Committee in General Pathology in Ottawa, former Assistant Professor and now the CEO of a biotech company that manufactures Covid tests, tells Government officials in Alberta (on the Community and Public Services Committee) that the current coronavirus crisis is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public”. These remarks were secretly recorded by one of the people present and uploaded to YouTube, but in case they’re taken down they’ve also been uploaded to BitChute.
The jeremiad only lasts five minutes, but it’s a wonderfully succinct summary of the sceptical position, covering everything from the unreliability of the PCR test – “positive test results do not, underlined in neon, mean a clinical infection” – to the catastrophic consequences of the lockdowns. Here he is on masks:
Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signalling. They’re not even worn effectively most of the time. It’s utterly ridiculous. Seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people – I’m not saying that in a pejorative sense – seeing these people walking around like lemmings obeying without any knowledge base to put the mask on their face.
This deserves the widest possible circulation.

Call to Arms
I received the following rallying cry from Geoff Cox, a lockdown sceptic and head of the Back to Normal group who has decided to see what he can do to raise people from their slumber. He’s got a plan and he wants you to be part of it.
Staggered by the falsification of Covid data? Enraged by Police bullying? Depressed by the loss of civil liberties? Frustrated that you can do little except rail and wail in your own bubble? Well, now you can do something – a little something, but something. Back to Normal is a well set up, grass roots organisation which has one goal – to wake up the public. This is a group that likes to get out there and talk to people. Although we have a MeWe page, a Facebook page and a website, these are really backups to support our project of getting to people who have bought into the Government’s message. So far, we have produced and delivered 20,000 postcards door to door or handed them out in the street. We are denting the confidence of those who only get their information from TV. We are edging sceptics towards our point of view and encouraging those who already think like us, but worry they are alone.
There is a proliferation of groups being set up in this country and all over the world to campaign against the current global madness. Back to Normal is just one of them and we understand that, at some point, these groups must come together. If you already have a group and would like to join forces with us or vice versa, we’d be happy to do so. What we need is one ‘Lockdown Sceptic’ to take on the role of coordinator in your area. Then deliver postcards, organise street activities, and get on social media where we don’t have a voice. The Government had first mover advantage, but the fight back has begun.
If you can help with the postcards, or could be a local coordinator, or if you have other skills, please get in touch.
Letter From a Labour Party Member to Jon Ashworth
A reader has sent me an excellent letter he’s written to Jon Ashworth, the Shadow Health Secretary, about why his efforts to censor anti-vaxxers are misguided. He’s given me permission to reprint it in full and attribute it to him by name. He’s called David J. Ferguson.
Dear Sir,
As a Labour Party member I am concerned about your proposal to urgently bring forward legislation that would include financial and criminal penalties for companies that fail to act to “stamp out dangerous anti-vaccine content”. I am not by any means opposed to vaccination, both my daughters, now in their twenties had the MMR jab and I remember clearly being asked if I had any objections and saying no. I am however concerned about the haste with which the various vaccines for covid-19 are being developed, and the way in which the normal safety protocols are being overruled in this case.
Since the start of the pandemic the government has sought to silence alternative views Ofcom have characterised these as: “Health claims related to the virus which may be harmful. • Medical advice which may be harmful. • Accuracy or material misleadingness in programmes in relation to the virus or public policy regarding it”. This sounds wise, no one wants false or inaccurate information to circulate, but it has led to suppression of alternative perspectives. For example the researchers at Imperial College based the modelling which led the first lockdown on the assumption of an infection fatality rate of 0.9% for COVID-19. They have since revised this to 0.7%. When, on the basis of sound scientific reasoning, the much respected Dr John Ioannidis suggested 0.9% was too high this was censored on YouTube. More recently, former BBC journalist Anna Brees has been told by FaceBook that there are certain issues she is not allowed to discuss on her page, issues relating to the vaccine. This kind of censorship serves no useful purpose. It stifles debate. You may be convinced that the people who raise concerns are wrong but as Noam Chomsky said, “Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.”
It may be said that this is a matter to be decided by the experts but as the philosopher of science Paul Feyerabend noted: “The objection that citizens do not have the expertise to judge scientific matters overlooks that important problems often lie across the boundaries of various sciences so that scientists within these sciences don’t have the needed expertise either. Moreover, doubtful cases always produce experts for the one side, experts for the other side, and experts in between. But the competence of the general public could be vastly improved by an education that exposes expert fallibility instead of acting as if it did not exist.”
In order to decide whether to take the vaccine people need to be able to make an informed choice and to balance the risks. No one can do that if any contrary views to those of the government are silenced. For some people, considered as individuals, the benefits will easily outweigh the risks; this would be the case with those who are older or more vulnerable. For others, the young and healthy, the risks to them as individuals may outweigh the benefits. However, it may still be that in order to achieve population immunity it would be better for those who are not personally at great risk to be immunised. This means that for the common good many people, not greatly at risk from the virus, are being asked to expose themselves to risk from a largely untested vaccine. If they are being asked to do that then people need to be able to assess the risk they are being asked to take for the sake of others.
There are different views among the experts on how many people would need to be vaccinated to give population immunity. To make a judgment on this we would need to know how many of the population already have immunity. Is it as low as 7% as the calculations made by SAGE often assume or is it as high as 70% as Dr Mike Yeadon has argued? Some weeks ago I watched you on Question Time in discussion with Sunetra Gupta, an epidemiologist who has been discussing this very issue for several months. It became clear that you had, at that time, a very limited understanding of this key issue, and the best defence of your position you could make was to say that some other (unnamed) epidemiologists might disagree with her. I strongly recommend her lecture, ‘The Uncanny Valley, How to Model a Pandemic’ which is available online. She explains that several different models, with different values for factors like IFR, prevalence and immunity can all fit the current data. If for example the virus arrived in the country earlier than is generally supposed, say in January, then it would have spread further before deaths began to rise significantly above the seasonal average in late March, and this in turn would imply a lower infection fatality rate; changing the estimate of one variable leads to changes in the others. Any cost/benefit analysis regarding how many people will need to take the vaccine to minimise risk for those taking it while achieving population immunity has to be based on an estimate of such factors and the associated modelling. In order to make these judgments there needs to be open discussion of all perspectives and models. Penalising discussion simply creates the impression that the government is trying to hide the risks involved. For these reasons I am very much opposed to your attempts to criminalise diversity of opinion. If there is a good case for your position why be afraid to make it and have it challenged?
As John Stuart Mill said: “The opinion which it is attempted to suppress by authority may possibly be true. Those who desire to suppress it, of course deny its truth; but they are not infallible. They have no authority to decide the question for all mankind, and exclude every other person from the means of judging. To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility”. It is dangerous for any government to act in this way, and it is dangerous for the opposition to encourage them to do so. As I have often pointed out to my students, if you want to hear the people you agree with, you have to defend the rights of the people you disagree with. This becomes a more important principle when there is as much at stake as there is at present. I believed you when you said on Question Time that you want to save lives, but you have to allow that people may have different views on the best way to do this, and alternative views, especially those of highly qualified experts, cannot and should not be silenced.
Your faithfully
David J Ferguson
Stop Press: A reader has pointed out that it’s not completely bonkers to have reservations about a new vaccine that’s been developed at breakneck speed and utilises a new, relatively untested technology.
Like everything, vaccine safety and efficacy is not black and white. To question this does not make one “anti-vaxx”. It shows legitimate (for now, until it’s censored/outlawed) concern for safety and desire for transparent and truthful information and is not unreasonable.
Many years ago, in a different life, I worked for the Courts/Tribunals Service. Hidden away (deliberately!) amongst the myriad of Tribunals was the little known Vaccine Damage Court.
This pseudo-court hears cases for children (or adults) seriously injured or disabled by “perfectly safe and thoroughly tested” vaccines. I believe it is a very difficult process to go through with many obstacles put in place to be successful.
It is, of course, the taxpayer that pays damages given the multi-billion dollar Big Pharma industry is exempt from prosecution. The amounts paid for individual cases are not high when compared to the costs of lifelong physical and mental disability of once healthy people, but the total payout over the years amounts to many millions of pounds, and billions in the USA. The only time I recall seeing much media coverage of this was around 2009 with the Swine Flu vaccine, since withdrawn, which was proved to cause narcolepsy. Payouts are up to £60m so far on this one.
More Entries to the Devil’s Dictionary
More entries have come in for the Covid version of the Devil’s Dictionary. (You can see the first set here and the second set here.) This has the makings of a stocking filler.
Anti-vaxxer, n. Anyone who dies at any time in the next 200 years, having stubbornly refused to get vaccinated.
Collateral damage, n. A blockbuster Hollywood film starring a future governor of California. Also the direct result of irresponsible people catching non-Covid ailments for which the NHS is unable to offer any treatment.
Pandemic, n. A highly contagious variety of group think at government level. The side effects are hugely destructive, but only for the general public. Not to be confused with a viral outbreak.
Herd impunity, n. Going along with the crowd to avoid personal liability, even if you know the decisions being taken are wrong. (See Civil service.)
Covid window, n. (1) A transparent sheet of perspex that miraculously defies the laws of physics and common sense (see below) with regard to its ability to prevent invisible particles circumnavigating its four open sides.
(2) A financially benevolent period of time in which to board the Bisto Express.
Common sense, n. Arguably the most important of senses, much needed yet easily and effortlessly dampened with fear and by withholding, distorting and fabricating data. Currently facing extinction, although Sir David Attenborough is unconcerned.
Ambiguity, n. A job-saving lifeline consisting of words and numbers often delivered with a hint of bovine bouquet. A politician’s best friend.

Woke Gobbledegook
We’ve decided to create a permanent slot down here for woke gobbledegook. Today, I’m bringing you the story of a Christian actress who was sacked from her role in the musical of The Color Purple for expressing her religious belief that homosexuality is wrong. The Times has more.
Seyi Omooba, described as a devout Christian, was fired from the adaptation of the Alice Walker novel last year after she was cast to play the lead character of Celie at the Curve in Leicester and Birmingham Hippodrome.
The production company dismissed her after Aaron Lee Lambert, an actor in Hamilton, shared a Facebook post she wrote in 2014, that said she did “not believe homosexuality is right”.
The character of Celie is normally read as having a gay relationship.
However, Omooba, 26, has denied that the character is a lesbian. She said last year that the theatre company and her agents told her to apologise but she refused, claiming that her Facebook comments merely quoted the Bible.
The actress launched legal actions against both the company and her agents. Her legal team claimed that she had been abused on social media since the row broke out, and had been “called a n***er for citing the Bible”.
Later this week, an employment appeal tribunal in London will consider the appeals against several decisions made at earlier hearings, including one to reject expert evidence on the grounds that it was irrelevant and potentially biased.
Lloyd Evans, the theatre critic for The Spectator, said that “it is not of any importance for an actor to agree with the ethical views or the feelings of a character in a play”. Evans said that “were that necessary, the art of drama would not exist, and many of the plays we regard as classics would be impossible to stage”.
In a witness statement, Evans cites Shakespeare’s Othello in which the lead character murders his faithful wife, Desdemona, after being tricked into believing she is an adulteress.
“It would take a superhuman effort,” Evans said, “to cast Othello in this play if the search were restricted to actors who sympathise with Othello’s jealous feelings and who believe that he is justified in murdering his wife.”
Top stuff from Lloyd Evans, whom I co-authored an award-winning play with called Who’s The Daddy? I’ll be rooting for Seyi when her case comes before the Employment Tribunal.
Stop Press: The Mail has more on Suzanne Moore’s departure from the Guardian. The headline says it all: “Comment is free (unless you’re a ‘transphobe’): Death of free speech at the Guardian as columnist Suzanne Moore quits after 300 staff sign petition against her claim that gender is more than a ‘feeling’.”
Stop Press 2: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men have all been banned from schools in California for being “racist”.
“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.
A reader has started a website that contains some useful guidance about how you can claim legal exemption.
If you’re a shop owner and you want to let your customers know you want be insisting on face masks or asking them what their reasons for exemption are, you can download a friendly sign to stick in your window here.
And here’s an excellent piece about the ineffectiveness of masks by a Roger W. Koops, who has a doctorate in organic chemistry.

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.)

Dear Londo
Pfizer’s former Chief Scientific Advisor Dr Mike Yeadon believes 50% of the population was already immune to Covid-19 by the time infection rates reduced in June.
Speaking with talkRADIO’s Ian Collins, he said: “Our bodies have experience of common cold-causing coronavirus which of course the BBC didn’t bother to tell you about.”
It comes after the goal of securing a Covid-19 vaccine moved a step closer with early data showing a new jab to be almost 95% effective in protecting against the virus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZjtiqujql8
95% effective?’Protecting’?
Evidence?
Does ‘protecting’ means this jab stops you getting Covvie?
Anybody else remember Sooty snd Sweep? Izzy whizzy, let’s get busy, magic wand, magic powder, sprinkle, sprinkle, well done, Sooty!
PS. In case you don’t remember, Sooty was a puppet.
But Sooty made people laugh, not creep around in face nappies and despair.
From what I’ve read about the protocols, none of the leading vaccine candidates are designed to stop you from getting it *or from spreading it*. They just turn you into one of those ‘asymptomatic carriers’. https://gdspoliticalanimal.blogspot.com/2020/10/dont-expect-vaccines-to-end-pandemic.html

I can’t believe this is still going on, and now it looks like they will be doing what to all intents and purposes is going to be a continuation of lockdown rebranded as tier 4, which I assume is purely to avoid having a Parliamentary vote. How can this charade be allowed to continue? And why is the British public being treated like three-year-olds: Father Christmas will only come if you are good boys and girls?
Well, you might as well trreat zombies like three-year-olds because their intellect has regressed to about that level. Or, thinking of some toddlers I know, considerably below.
Our village newsletter is lamenting the fact that lots of residents will be all alone over Christmas. But do the horrid cowardly little wimps suggest that somebody should invite these lonely people in? Do they hell.
Yes, I come across that a lot. A high-minded tone of sorrowful resignation. Absolutely zero willingness to fight the restrictions. These people are the collaborators who make me angriest.
‘Collaborators’ – excellent!
Well said. They still come across as virtuous with their muzzles and adherence to the rules (whenever it suits them but shhhh….) and despite the mountains of data showing we’ve been lied to and the collateral damage, they still refuse to wake up.
It’s still going on because it has little-to nothing to do with a virus.
Every time we’re “released” from lockdown we’ll see another freedom taken away. After 1st lockdown we were inexplicably forced to wear masks. After his current lockdown we’ll be forced to get a vaccination – either under compulsory rules or blackmail. We’ll then need to carry a certificate everywhere we go to identify ourselves as “Covid-safe”.
By March next year, our lives will be so miserable, small local businesses gone and replaced by global giants like Amazon and Asda. After the inevitable third lockdown, cash will be removed as a means of monetary transaction and our bank cards will become a new track and trace.
We’ll have become what can only be described as a full-blown Communist state. Poverty and totalitarian rule.
It’s not communist. We’re being held to ransom by the banks, Pharma, the WEF, Bill Gates, tech companies etc.
It’s about profiting off, and controlling humans
You seem very sure of that Jamie. But those who own and run the banks, pharma, tech companies, etc, all have something in common and their political persuasion is most definitely the communist brand of socialism. Each of those you highlight exhaustingly promote ‘cultural terrorism’, as defined by the communist György Lukács. People mostly know it as cultural Marxism. In simple terms; it focuses on the exponential destruction of a culture through turning normality upside down and perverting everything that is good and innocent.
I would recommend you read about the Red Mafiya as a starting point. The Cold War, just like this scamdemic, was well and truly out the ordinary and the more you look at the peripheral activities, you could most certainly argue it was a ruse.
Mark Windows and others call it Communitarianism. It’s a new and improved ism.You’re going to love it.
yes but when all private business has been destroyed we are left with the state controlling everything and we will own nothing. That is communism
Blimey James you’re cheerful! Trouble is you are probably right. Time to sharpen the pitchforks.
You and Jamie are both right.
I agree with you it is communist. Because under a communist regime, the majority was living hand to mouth, growing vegetables themselves to make sure they have food, whilst the people in charge enjoyed trips to the west, caviar and champagne and lots of other privileges.
Communism was dressed up so some of the masses would swallow it willingly. In simplest terms it’s a small number of people with ultimate power/wealth controlling the lives of millions and having their say in every aspect of how those millions live their lives. A closed and controlled society. Welcome to the new normal, wipe your minds of everything that once was and obey the new order.
Wipe your mind of claptrap, New Age, Green Emergency, Unicorn Communitarianism.
How is that any different to capitalism.
You are such an incurable optimist, you make me dizzy.

The British public are being treated like three-year olds simply because they are allowing it. Next step two year olds if the ‘great unwashed’ don’t get their $hit together..

Maybe Aldi is trying to tell us something ……
Virus going on holiday is it? Thick idiots will just lap it up and say ‘isn’t the Slippery Pig great, he has saved xmas. I really do give up.
So there are still some people who don’t think that we are building up ‘herd immunity’ ?
Why then are places like London, New York, Stockholm, where the death rates were higher during the pandemic, showing very low to virtually zero death rates now. London is consistently around half or below the level of the UK.
My borough, Haringey, had no deaths last week (to 6 November), Westminster 1, Barnet 3, Camden 0, Watford 1.
And that’s all without adjusting for the fact that these are deaths of people who’ve tested positive on a test which is unbelievably riddled with false positives.
Why are the government wasting time and money on a vaccine for a problem that’s already pretty much over, definitely in London and soon in the rest of the country. Even the NYT (17/11/20) has realised that:
“Eight months after infection, most people who have recovered still have enough immune cells to fend off the virus and prevent illness, the new data show. A slow rate of decline in the short term suggests, happily, that these cells may persist in the body for a very, very long time to come.”
You never know, even Fauci or Hancock may soon realise how a virus works !
Not only does the test throw up false positives, but the vast majority of the corpses almost certainly died ‘with’, not ‘of’.
Perhaps somebody who knows how a virus works could tell Pantsdown Ferguson, who after a career of getting everything grotesquely wrong still hasn’t a clue.
Ferguson is not the real problem, he is just another bent cog in the bent machine. The real villains are those who pay Imperial College to expressly come up with utter garbage. Also even more to blame are those in government, who then act upon Ferguson’s fear porn, even though they must know that he is talking through his arse.
In any other job he would have been sacked for incompetence years ago.
Ferguson is giving his benefactors and their UK government puppets the models they want. I say corrupt rather than incompetent.
Ferguson knows he’s got it wrong. Governments use his ‘models’ to justify their their lockdown responses which benefit multiple vested interests, especially Pharma. He is literally a prostitute for governments and their agendas
Refer back to Toby’s piece yesterday comparing the conduct of WW1 to that of operating lockdown
No country wanted WW1* so there were no initial War Aims.
Very quickly the unstated War Aim of every power became simply not to lose and, as yesterday’s piece concluded, the aim of regimes all over the world is not to lose face by admitting Lockdown was all a terrible mistake and so it just grinds on and on.
* there were military elites and revolutionary elements that welcomed war just as there were Modelling and Medical elites who welcomed Covid/lockdown as a means of boosting their own self importance.
it does grind on and on given that no govt anywhere in the world has been challenged and deposed.
banks were the main agencies benefiting, as usual
We were being told at the beginning of the year, before lockdown, that the virus was being used as an excuse to rescue the banks ….
We’ve never been told the truth about WW1, or WW2. Its a subject I’ve been extremely interested in for many years, and researched intensively. The conclusions I’ve come to is that both wars were contrived at the behest of the financial oligarchy who benefited both monetarily and politicly . Nothing changes.. same $hit.. different year/century.
And the ordinary joe gets shat on as always.
Agreed. Millions upon millions of lives exterminated because the A-holes convinced us regular folk that we needed to go kill the regular folk from another country. All for what exactly?
The main aim of the war being waged by Johnson et al, on the UK people, is to achieve a large measure of depopulation by means of a cull via lethal vaccinations. Lockdowns, mass testing and other pointless restrictions are there, simply to push the people into accepting dodgy vaccines, for those not even remotely at risk. We will be told that the vaccines are the way out of the current hell, which in reality is all of the government’s making. Once the mass vaccinations are nearly finished the government will have won hands down.
Yes its ‘we will release you from what we have imposed on you’. The cheek of these scummy bastards is unbelievable. I have always thought of myself as a peace loving type even though I am 6ft 4 and 15 stone. But in all honesty if I found myself alone in a room with Johnson or Hancock or Whitty or Valence or Ferguson I honestly dont think I could hold it together.
No, I don’t think this Covid-19 saga will be over and done with when people start taking vaccines. They already prepare something much more lethal, and not afraid to speak about it:
https://youtu.be/5ZRg5kiH9Is
I’m not sure exactly what the looney tunes from the WEF is going on about, but I would assume he is referring to Bill Gates’s fabled Pandemic 2. As such, I would suggest, that the psychos, who really run things, may well be plotting to release a real version of something very nasty next time around. As yet, I remain unconvinced that Covid-19 (Pandemic 1) is anything more than a rebranded seasonal influenza. This so called pandemic was sustained over the summer by the ongoing deliberate and systematic misuse of the PCR test and just like flu, it is now showing a very modest seasonal uptick.
The PCR test inventor, the late and sometimes outspoken Kary Mullis, must surely be spinning in his grave. What a coincidence, he died just before all this Covid nonsense got going, but I won’t speculate any further on that.
Those people, who volunteer for Covid-19 vaccination, will overall likely fare worse in any Pandemic 2. The increased morbidity might well be intentional and likely due, at least in part, to the possibility of a cytokine storm, which may happen when an mRNA vaccine recipient comes into contact with the real infection. Resistance to the totally flawed Covid-19 vaccination rollout is vital.
Anyone would think that some people want this fraud to continue given their denial of herd immunity. Of course the continued push for an unnecessary vaccine is all about the money. How many companies are there frantically trying to get to the finishing line first? I’ve read there’s a bonus from Bill Gates for the one who does.
Compare the last election map with current Covid19 hot spot map and it is evident that the labour strong holds (mainly deprived working class communities) are been singled out to bear the brunt of the restrictions/tyranny – it stinks!!!!
Fauci is up to his eyeballs in collusion and conspiracy and has been so since his dodgy dealings over HIV and AIDs. His outfit also provided millions of dollars to the Wuhan laboratory for gain of function research in regard to coronavirus. He is also a long time associate of Bill Gates, who wants to vaccinate anything that moves. Does all this make Fauci naive or just plain evil? As for Hancock, I see him as an unprincipled and ignorant chancer, who would do anything if his palms were greased sufficiently.
Further to Toby’s ‘We are in a false positive pseudo epidemic’.
It’s worse than that it’s downright lying throughout the NHS from the beginning of lockdown.
I have come across numerous instances of peoples relatives, friends or care patients being labelled as Covid dead when they were not.
An administrator at my major regional hospital told me early on that any patient in the hospital who came into contact with any Covid case and who subsequently died was to be recorded as Covid dead even when they never had the disease.
Complicit? In some indirect way taking a cut?
Depends on how indirect you think Gates’ “donations” are.
These ‘administrators’ are complicit in crimes against humanity
The mainstream media is complicit in the crime
There HAS to be a financial incentive for this. Does the trust get it? The doctor signing the death certificate? Someone on this thread must know the truth about this
One minor correction, if you please; “sadlidied”.
The MSM are happy getting lashings of Covid advertising from government, which is now their biggest buyer of space and time. Also, they are likely all still getting their multi-million “be good” backhanders from Bill Gates, so no doubt they will carry on being pro-lockdown, pro-vaccine and pro-Bill Gates, until it’s far too late.
Dear Mr Lockdown
Pfizer’s former Chief Scientific Advisor Dr Mike Yeadon believes 50% of the population was already immune to Covid-19 by the time infection rates reduced in June.
Speaking with talkRADIO’s Ian Collins, he said: “Our bodies have experience of common cold-causing coronavirus which of course the BBC didn’t bother to tell you about.”
It comes after the goal of securing a Covid-19 vaccine moved a step closer with early data showing a new jab to be almost 95% effective in protecting against the virus.

I don’t like to victimise myself, but i just felt the need to point out that us immigrants have it a bit harder than most. Whilst i would not compare the gravity of my situation with the ordeal Vanessa Gray and her autistic son are going through, they get to see eachother once a week. Everyone else could, at least until this stupid lockdown started, see their family. But us immigrants, we don’t get to do that. I haven’t seen my family since mid 2019. Many of us cannot take a month long holiday at the minimum to visit our families.
Which is why i want all this insanity to be over. I want these idiots in prison, where they belong, for the sheer incompetence and dereliction of duty displayed. I want this to be over so i can see my very, very old grandma again.
We all want it to be over. We are all, as the repulsive phrase goes, in it together. All victims of totalitarian bullying and lies and, worst of all, the incredible stupidity and cowardice of the Covvieherd. So we must all fight it together. For you, for your grandma, for all of us.
Only immigrants have family in other countries ?!
Can you point to where i said only immigrants have family in other countries?
(and it’s ‘we immigrants’
).
The gym business has really got people going.
Prevent gyms closing due to a spike in Covid 19 casesIn the event of a spike we would like you not to close gyms as a measure to stop any spread of Covid. Also for gyms to not be put in the same group as pubs in terms of risk or importance. Gyms are following strict guidelines and most members are following rules in a sober manner.

Swim England also asked that their
vats of chlorineswimming pools not be closed, but no one cared.My mum needs to be back in the pool. Where is safer than that anyway????? Even if you did believe the fairy stories.
My sister with MS needs her weekly swim too.
It’s outrageous, I need to swim x3 weekly to keep my joints from seizing up. It’s a preventative, common sense strategy for thousands of older people who find that weight bearing exercises aren’t possible due to knee/ hip/back pain. We’re keeping surgery at bay but now deteriorating fast.
Swimming is also great for keeping depression and anxiety down.
608,603 signatures, who knew gyms were so popular.
No wonder plod go in thirty at a time.
I think plod imagine that gyms are full of hairy steroid users. Round our way it’s all yummy mummies or retired people trying not to lose their bone density.
I’m 45 and get up at 4:30am every day to go to the gym. After 20 years of addiction/self destruction, I’ve replaced it with a new addiction and it’s helping me from completely losing faith in myself and this world. And the people there are great!!
If they truly cared about our health then no rec centres or gyms would be closed.
‘People won’t be able to mix with other households indoors between 2nd-23 December.’
Get real bozo, every day I see people coming and going visiting friends and family in what is supposed to be lockdown 2.
I even know of a mother and child going to visit granny in a sheltered housing complex.
Nobody is paying your stupid regulations any more notice so give it up.
How will a Court look back on a disreputable law that makes a social event legal one day but illegal the next ?
Michael Deakin disappointing in the Telegraph advising hancock how to deal with ‘anti-vaxxers’.
Evil. The only word that comes to mind when looking at the latest news about the planned continuation of banning families meeting during the Christmas season.
They will generously consider giving us four days?
Oh and that’s not even mentioning New Year, which anyone from the Samaritans to Mind will tell you is always the worst day for isolated people taking their life.
Evil.
New Year Eve ? You must be joking.
The start of another year alone. It wouldn’t surprise me, as an isolated person. Although Christmas is another bad time, but for more personal reasons.
Bozo and hancock have stopped referring to the vaccine as ‘The Cavalry’, perhaps someone reminded them that ‘The Cavalry’ Genocided the Injuns’
More Calvary than Cavalry
Not the best example, given that in reality is was overwhelmingly pathogens of various kinds which “genocided the Injuns”.
Shout about it lewdly!
Apologies for the volume of comments yesterday; been laid up in bed so was a bit bored
I have asymptomatic flu
I rang my GP, he said he’d never heard of an asymptomatic respiratory infection. Where has he been for the last 7 months? He declined my request for an ambulance and suggested a couple of paracetamol
I asked him if he knew that flu kills 20,000 grannies a year in the UK alone
He replied ‘ Not anymore it doesn’t’
Undeterred I contacted PHE. I asked if they could trace all my contacts and tell them to self isolate
They mentioned something about playing with the traffic on the M25 before the line went dead
Anyway the OH has just gone down with asymptomatic pneumonia
Best of luck with that one, I told her
It’s pointless trying to make sense of it all. There is no logic to it. If there was, life would be back to normal. Something sinister is happening.
It so obvious now.Even by the governments own dodgy figures there is no rationale for continuing to lockdown and destroy the economy.The only thing that makes sense is that this is deliberate, economic vandalism to make us all dependent on the state and big business.
We could call it a ‘great’ reset. And tell everyone about it years ago.
Yes, just concentrate on sinister, or rather very sinister and so many things will fall into place.
THREE MAIN POINTS ON THE ABOVE ARTICLES
1) As a proud Scot in favour of independence I disagree devolution is unuseful. It has shown Scots just how screwed we would be with the socialist tyrants at the helm and their socialist masters, the EU.
2) Authoritarians always need the young, hence the schooling over theast several decades creating less critical thinking and more regurgitation. This is a clear sign of communist mentality.
3) The ban on sales of fossil fuel cars is A) ridiculously stupid. B) Not because of the climate. C) READ UN AGENDA 21/2030 to realise the Orwellian double speak used to create our own prison, think its bad now, it can and will get worse. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Surprise fourth note: medical ‘pandemics’ will be the new ‘war on terror’ going forward as they get all the controlling power and lots of money, RESIST AT ALL COSTS!
Note 4, for ongoing pandemic scares they won’t even have to stage bomb outrages or announce the arrest of terrorists who strangely rarely get prosecuted.
…but often get murdered.
I have a Scottish friend in Edinburgh, whom I love dearly. I worry about him and how he’s coping with this lockdown situation. Sturgeon seems to be relishing her role as dictator.
I hope Scotland gets independence, but being tied to the EU and Brussels diktats is not independence.
After the EU, you still have to shake off Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. Not too easy.
The War against Drugs.
The War against Terror.
The War against the Virus.
If I see a pattern here, and mention it to a few people, does that make me a ‘conspiracy theorist’ ?
If people aren’t conspiracy theorists by now, then just what are they actually waiting for?
Resist as if your life depends on it, which it really does.
It’s a great 5 minute listen and I would urge all LS readers to do so.
Towards the end of Toby’s piece
‘The greatest hoax ever perpetuated on an unsuspecting public’
Just listened to it. “It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game.”
Brilliant!
The quid pro quo for any further restrictions must be an independent public inquiry. Even the leader of the ‘opposition’, steeped in public service ‘treble peerages all round’ job creation schemes, should be able to support that.
‘The number of deaths registered in the UK in the week ending 6 November 2020 (Week 45) was 13,418, which was 1,717 deaths higher than the five-year average and 911 deaths more than Week 44; of the deaths registered in the UK in Week 45, 2,225 deaths involved COVID-19, 627 deaths higher than in Week 44.’
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales
(We can only speculate as to what those figures will eventually look like after ‘adjustments’: ‘Based on a statistical model that allows for the time taken for deaths to be registered, we estimate that the number of deaths actually occurring (rather than registered) in Week 45 in England and Wales was between 10,912 and 13,671.’)
So overall all cause mortality slightly higher than the five year average, like, say, a moderately bad influenza year except that influenza has magically disappeared and the elderly and infirm have been deprived of visitors, small businesses cut to pieces etc etc
Hmmmm………
A public inquiry….immediately…..with teeth…….
With fangs and claws!
No doubt, many of my fellow sceptics used to groan and squirm with embarrassment at the oft repeated “anecdotes” on social media and in magazines and newspapers from anybody and everybody over 40 years of age about how they “grew up in a hole in the middle of the road in a family of 17 with only 1 shoe between them” but also “went out to play at 3 o’clock in the morning and didn’t come back till midnight, only had a sandwich of bread and jam to last all day, suffered hypothermia and heatstroke at the same time, swam in crocodile infested canals that were alive with the black death, typhoid and malaria amongst another dozen life threatening diseases, but “we survived to be the people we are today” before criticising all those under 25 and accusing them of being “Snowflakes”?
Would these be the self same sheep and collaborators that we see wearing face nappies and are afraid that the “wind might blow on them” and at the same time criticise the “snowflakes” for “mingling” and not doing what they are told?
SURELY NOT!!!
I would say there is a significant portion of the 60+ age group that despise the younger generations. Dishing out their “pearls” of wisdom which thankfully mostly fall on deaf ears. This has been apparent to me for some time.
It makes my mind boggle. The prevailing narrative goes: ‘the young should curtail their whole lives to protect a group of very elderly who’ve already lived their lives’
Yep, there’s been a program to separate people by generation, as has already been tried via sex and race. It’s the old ‘Divide and Rule’ strategy.
I am 71 and missus is in late 60’s All the young people we encounter are usually polite ‘ friendly and hard working, particularly if they work in hospitality with long hours so we all aren’t ‘ outside ‘ toilet and tin baths etc. Each generation has it’s own battles to fight.
I’m in my 60s and while I remember some hardship when I was younger, I do not envy what younger people have to deal with now. There certainly isn’t the feeling of a world full of opportunity right now. And I don’t expect the young to sacrifice anything for me.
Fortunately, it seems to have started, albeit in a very small way. The students woke up in their concentration camp, looked out the windows, took one look at the anti-climb fencing around their accommodation put there by their own university, designed to get them used to being fenced in, and they weren’t having any of it.
They ripped it down within an hour. Good. It’s a small beginning, but all journeys start with a first step. Perhaps one day we will look back and read the stories of the British Resistance, how twenty-year-olds cycled around the roads on their bikes to destroy the evil scientists, using their phones to communicate instead of Enigma machines.
Perhaps there will be museums built one day to commemorate their bravery, like the plaque on the Resistance Museum at the Menin Gate, so that they, in their turn, can “Carve Their Names with Pride”.
An hour, eh ? That’s Mancs for you.
In the Pool, it would have been down in 5 minutes, dismantled in 10, and on ebay within 15.
At my grandmother’s house, we had to get our water from the public well …
However …
People have battles to fight. Anyone dividing us by generation is one of the bad guys.
Agreed, I’m 72 next month.
Fingerache Phil seems to be trying to do a little bit of divide and rule himself, with his rather silly post. And quite possibly there is a hint of 77th Brigade about him.
I criticize a load of people under 25 for being snowflakes, but by no means all of them.
I suspect “Tier 4” will require people to take three helium filled ballons out whenever they have to leave home.These will state (in triplicate) your reason(s) for leaving home.
It is very tempting to start a silly rumour online about some rule like this and see how far it goes and if people start following it. I’m sure there is a significant % who would without question if they believe it was genuine.
I vote for ‘Sticking a carrot up your arse prevents covid’.
Morning All
I have had another “discussion” this time on a private facebook forum around the vaccine. There are only about 10 of us. The two others in this discussion were MP, who is a Liverpudlian who is not especially bright but is basically a sceptic on COVID, woke etc, and JC who is about 35 and basically is a real smart a$$ who generally refuses to change his mind on anything. He is clearly buying the MSM line.The topic was vaccines and here is how it has gone so far. Sorry it’s quite long but a few of JC’s comments make me scratch my head. I’ve put these in bold
MP
So, apparently you’ll not be allowed to go abroad unless you’ve had this vaccine. I find that quite worrying – not because of my holiday next year – because it should be a personal choice.
Slippery slope time.
JC
It is a personal choice. Its also the choice of the country not to let mental conspiracy theorists in.
Me:
JC, what does being opposed to a mandatory vaccine have to do with conspiracy theorists?
JC
Anti-vaxers are conspiracy theorists and complete nutters. Nobody on here said anything about it being mandatory.
Me:
Matt Hancock refused to rule out mandatory vaccinations in an interview the other day. So he didn’t say it would be mandatory, but he refused to confirm that it wouldn’t. Refusing to take a vaccine that has been rushed through with inadequate testing / trials doesn’t make you an anti vaxer. “Anti vaxers are conspiracy theorists and complete nutters” is completely nonsensical
MP
I’m a “nutter”….. I beg your pardon, I just don’t like being a person who is tolde what to do…. Great input that nutter shout, JC.
JC
1) Its currently illegal and to make vaccinations compulsory and hasnt been suggested by anyone of note
2) Rushing through the vaccine without due process also hasnt been suggested by anyone of note. In fact everyone I’ve seen has been at pains to make clear that all safeguarding needs to be followed.
As such it will be a non mandatory, rigorously tested vaccine. And anyone refusing to take it deserves to have certain freedoms (e.g freedom to travel) taken away if the country they plan on doing chooses to go down that route.
MP
The mad left brigade. Apparently it’s sound for DJ to snort coke, but it’s diabolical that Tiger wasn’t banned for taking “legal” painkillers after having his back fused!
JC
If they propose to rush it through, or make it 100% compulsory then its time to be concerned. To that extent I agree with you. But thats not the situation. Yet.
MP
Listen, if it does become compulsory then I guess we’ll have to.
I’m not gonna’ sit here on an iphone and tell you they aren’t already tracking people.
My point is – if you’re healthy then why should we be told that you have to have this vaccine.
JC
The reason why its sensible for healthy people to have a vaccine is because then they can’t get the virus (or are massively less likely to), and therefore they won’t be able to pass it onto vulnerable people. Its not really about protecting yourself.
MP
I get that, JC. I’m not a massive believer in this virus that started in a lab in China?
JC
Tell that to my Aunty who is currently in hospital with it.
JC
She’s over the worst and no longer a concern, but a week on a ventilator is pretty major stuff to be not believed in.
MP
I’m sorry to hear that, JC. But what do we know about this virus. We all can look back at Spanish Flu and it was real.
Me:
It has been reported that a 90% effective vaccine could be available this year. Are you saying JC that you and your family would have the vaccine, on the basis that it would protect other vulnerable people?
So again we have someone who is supposedly educated, coming up with the typical “try telling that to my Auntie” line, and the “conspiracy theorist” pejorative. I can’t help myself in arguing back with him but as with most arguments on COVID, there seems to be no hope in trying to shift people like this. No doubt he will retort to my last comment with some smart alec answer. I have a bunch of vaccine articles ready, from which to pick out facts but I doubt that will make any difference.
Anyone have any views on what they would do here? More out of curiosity to be honest. I’m past the point of getting agitated about it
The Pfizer results, to my knowledge, said nothing about reducing infectiousness. I think all that was measured was the effect on the vaccinated person, not on others.
Thanks. I also found this link (can’t remember how) which spells out some good facts
https://www.politicalite.com/opinion/niall-mccrae-can-we-challenge-the-official-covid-vaccination-narrative/
I agree. I have heard a lot of people say “stops people from getting it”. I don’t believe it does.
Yes, they said something not too detailed about it reducing the severity of so called Covid-19, but not preventing the infection. So it seems they are producing the fabled asymptomatic carriers at last. Now that sounds great doesn’t it and the bottom line is, it doesn’t work so well at preventing illness. I would expect though that it probably has a much more sinister purpose, one which they really wouldn’t want us to know anything about.
I suggest reading ‘The True Believer’ by Eric Hoffer. A brilliant, provocative and original enquiry into the nature of mass movements and cult behaviour. Hoffer was self-educated and lived the life of a drifter in the 1930s which is intriguing in itself.
He explains how the more facts you produce the more entrenched the believer comes trying to defend their emotionally based opinion.
Today I realise that the leader of the cult has just performed a series of actions which I cannot fathom. Someone please help me out
What am I missing?
Logic suggests that we must in future test ourselves daily before leaving the house because I assume he thinks he might become ill one day? Or is he not sure of the test being correct?
If Boris were exempt from self-isolation this time (on the grounds that he’s already had Covid) wouldn’t that create a dangerous perverse incentive for the population at large?
Yes I see that. But he tested negative, so why is he isolating?
dePiffle is a lying, bullshitting skiver …..
Boris knows the tests are useless so is he just being cautious?
You’re missing the fact that dePiffle is a lying bullshitting skiver.
He is surently supposed to be rejigging his Cabinet, sorting our the Brexit fiasco and finding us a way out of mockdown.
Cue disappearance for two weeks till mockdown decision is unavoidable.
I reckon you are missing the obvious that the lying bastard
never had cv19 in the first place.
See FBEL for a good read on this subject.
I’ll buy all that and said it at the time.
Nowadays I’m not sure anyone’s ever had Covid-19. No virus has ever isolated and the PCR test totally unfit for purpose. How could anyone tell it is not just seasonal flu that has been very expensively rebranded.
You can go to Malcolm McKendrick’s page – there is currently a discussion about the vaccine/AV and Labour’s trying to stop debate.
I’d ignore him. Life’s too short.
Time to admit.This is unstoppable.It is aerosol spread.Masks,SD, nothing stops it. Explains the complete world-wide failure to stop this virus.(and they don’t include breathing as possible spreading virus)
https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(20)30739-6/fulltext
Viable SARS-CoV-2 in the air of a hospital room with COVID-19 patients
“Viable (infectious) SARS-CoV-2 was present in aerosols within the hospital room of COVID-19 patients.
Airborne virus was detected in the absence of healthcare aerosol-generating procedures.
The virus strain detected in the aerosols matched with the virus strain isolated from a patient with acute COVID-19
Unlike previous studies, we have demonstrated that the virus in aerosols can be viable, and this suggests that there is an inhalation risk for acquiring COVID-19 within the vicinity of people who emit the virus through expirations including coughs, sneezes, and speaking.”
try walking past a person in the street who is smoking and not get a whiff of smoke that moments before was in someone’s mouth. I always cough and don’t cover my mouth. I was challenged about this pre covid. I replied. I don’t want to have on my hands what I have just breathed in.
Not all the smoke would have been in the smoker’s mouth. Just some of it.
(We’re not PHE nor Handcock, we need to get our facts right !).
Yesterday I finally finished watching that meeting (nearly 4 hours, and I only have so many covid hours each day) between Mike Yeadon, Clare Craig, and the German lawyer and associates who are planning the mass legal action. Much of the technical material will be familiar to most people on this site.
But what struck me most was the steely determination of that German lawyer. He’s on a mission. No outpourings of anger or emotion here; just forensic, persistent and coldblooded analysis. Were I one of the perpetrators of this crime I’d be very concerned.
The last 20 minutes or so was all in German, which is Greek to me, so I don’t know if I missed anything here.
Please remember the deadline tonight (11.59pm) for submitting evidence to the House of Lords Committee. The questions they ask cover EVERYTHING we have issue with. I have faith that the upper house is where sense will eventually prevail. The majority of life peers care very deeply about the lives of the British people and because their jobs are not threatened by a hysterical electorate, they tend to be more interested in facts than spin.
Opinion is less important than evidence. Present it with opinion by all means, but the important stuff is evidence. Anything you can find. Send any facts, figures, links, videos, interviews… (Send multiple links to back up the most critical facts where you can find them) bombard them with EVIDENCE. It will all be heard!

This from The Sun today – ‘But they [ministers] and medics fear a full week of rules being relaxed would “normalise” mixing and want to cap it at a matter of days.’
———————————
‘Normalise’ mixing. So they now want to make it abnormal to see those whom you love, those whom you have spent your life with, those who gave birth to you and brought you up with care and compassion. These ministers and scientists have totally lost their minds.
This is pure evil. There are no two ways about it. Those who agree with these deeply cruel measures and follow the rules, even just for fear of a fine, are complicit in this horrendous act of torment. It is not noble to refuse to see those you love right now; in fact, it is deeply cruel.
I find it interesting that the government, and the public, are just accepting post-Dec 2nd restrictions as a given. There’s no real, empirical reference to data or analysis, or more importantly whether there can be any end to this torturous purgatory, it’s just ‘We’re going back into tiers.’ It really is just a continuation of lockdown by any other name. And 5 days at Christmas! Gosh, how GENEROUS! I notice that this would cut out the new year period, which is also a time for celebration. Are we seriously expected to lap this up gratefully? Thank you so much, daddy government, for allowing me to see my own family! I want to scream. Can’t people see how ludicrous this is? Waiting for government permission to LOVE? Well, I suppose the fact that the British public crashed the Aldi website because they wanted a stuffed carrot toy shows the level of intelligence we are dealing with here.
I never thought I would ever witness such wickedness from the government in my lifetime. I’m only 22 and it’s already happened. I feel like I’ve aged about 30 years in this year alone. Every day I feel like I’m being forced to bang my head against a wall to get rid of a headache.
I know this will end, and I know history will be unkind to those who have done this, and I know we will win, but by God are the government making our lives hell while we get there.
Beautifully and powerfully written. Please put your skills to work and submit evidence to the House of Lords committee (see my link below).
Well said Polly, especially this:
Not only is it cruel but as I said in these comments yesterday, the cynic in me also thinks that many people are using this virus as an excuse not to see people or to let friendships die. I know someone who didn’t want to meet me citing the rules but was happy to meet with other people. I’ve had enough of many people and am reaching the point where I will be happy to let them go – thanks for the memories and all that.
Edit needed… she is “Poppy” not “Polly”
AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Apologies!
I don’t mind! Don’t worry about it
Cheers!!! You share the same name as my sister
My dog is called Poppy!!!
Totally agree. I really don’t like how the characteristic of being anti-social, cancelling plans with friends to veg out alone in front of the TV, etc etc has now become a smug virtue because of lockdown.
I’m introverted and at most I’m not fond of big social gatherings. But by God, I will try and make an effort with meeting up with people one to one or in small groups. It’s sad when its all one sided with me doing all the work.
I ave just finished my ‘Covid’ report and sent ity to my MP with a plea to end all attempts to control this virus with legislation. Will he read it? will he take any notice? but you have to keep trying and if I can find the right contact details I will send it to others.
I have said this before so sorry for repeating myself but the restriction on personal liberties by Statutory Instrument as we have endured in 2020 is unprecedented in my lifetime. This restriction on freedoms is an anathema to ‘British Values’ and the concept of the UK as the mother of the free’. Whether or not you consider that the situation in the Spring was an emergency justifying such restrictions, there can be little doubt that no such emergency exists at the moment and therefore no justification for legislation.
One of the main tasks of Parliament is to draft and pass laws in the best traditions and practice of British life . All our MPs should be pressed to consider this duty carefully and to think carefully what they are doing and not just vote for what their party whips tell them.
So please do write to your MP.
Believe it or not, I did write to my MP, and she never replied! She’s a Labour MP though and said on her Twitter that she supported the party’s position of endless national lockdown. Total madness that the party meant to represent workers is needlessly destroying thousands of jobs.
The only workers Labour represent are those based in Public Sector Unions.
Like those who work at the nearby County Hall where the very large car park is still empty. Front line workers are all at work though.
Hadn’t thought of that – I shall check our council”s similarly massive car park tomorrow and report back.
Poppy please submit your thoughts and evidence to the House of Lords select committee. They will read everything.
I wonder if MPs are being bribed or blackmailed. All I remember prior to 2020 was politicians banging on and on about the economy. How the economy needs protecting and investing in etc..
And now, politicians are causing the destruction of the economy. I don’t understand it. Is it the Great Reset?
No my MP is very ambitious – it is all about himself and nothing about constituents. He has never voted NO, in the hope that he would get a promotion to senior position in Government or become a Minister
Sounds like my MP!
Yup. Check out Computing Forever on YouTube.
Arnie.
Or simply threatened.
Steve , your comments about the SI of 2020 that seems to allow the Govt to do anything without scrutiny reminds me of the year 1933 as described in the Vol 1 of prof Richard Evans’ history of Germany . In that year the Nazi Enabling Act was pushed through the Reichstag and it allowed the Nazis to do whatever they liked , to whomever and, basically. forever- Govt by decree not by any democratic consent. Only the complete destruction of Germany in 1945 brought it to an end -although arguably it was resuscitated in East Germany until 1990.
As is often said , a failure to learn from history means having to repeat it.
Will we have to go through a similar period of complete economic and social destruction before democracy and sensible government return? .
I fear so.
Please send it to the House of Lords committee that is actively asking for evidence! They will read everything. Their public duty. Not frightened by the hysterical electorate. Use them! Deadline for submissions is tonight! Send links to factual evidence.
Seeing your post has just inspired me to write again to Mr Cox.
This time I’ve said that it won’t just be the perpetrators of this crime who eventually will be called to account. It will be all those MPs whose job it was to hold the government to account, to ask questions, to protect the liberties and livelihoods of their constituents – but who failed to do so. They too will be viewed as guilty at the bar of history.
Thank you Poppy – superbly put.
It is ludicrous, yes, absolutely. And it is obscene.
‘I know this will end, and I know history will be unkind to those who have done this, and I know we will win’.
Best wishes to everyone this Wednesday. We are the resistance. There is no getting rid of us.
Happy Wednesday to the Resistance.
Not only is there no getting rid of us: we can’t give way even if (per impossibile) we try, because there is no way we could ever believe their lies.
Alethea, if you want fo come to us for Christmas you would be most heartily welcome.
Gosh, Annie, that is a lovely thing for you to say. Thank you. You’ve really made my day.
Indeed my Christmas is looking bleak: literally everyone I know, family and friends, regards me as a potential vector of disease. Some of them will see me on my own, but won’t let me come at Christmas because of the presence of elderly family members whom I might infect. I continue to hope that some reasonable compromise may become possible, while endeavouring also not to judge them too meanly on the basis of my hurt feelings. Your kindness certainly cheers me up while I engage, all too patchily, with this not inconsiderable philosophical challenge.
I agree, they never want this to end.
“they now want to make it abnormal to see those whom you love”
They already have, in the minds of most people, apparently.
Thanks, Poppy, A copy of this is going to my MP.
Do not forget how complicit the church is in all this.
Where is the outcry about the loss of Nine Lessons and Carols? A service which is seen and appreciated by a significant proportion of the planet. What about performances of the Messiah’?
I suppose Midnight Mass might take place with disgusting face-nappies, anti-social distancing and communion in one kind only.
The only part of one sentence I disagree with is that you say ‘the government are making our lives hell’. I think and hope that this is purgatory; hell (like heaven) is a final destination. But I do know what you mean.
Why this is Hell, nor am I out of it.
One day you will wear a ‘t’ shirt emblazoned with the words
‘I fought in the résistance. What did you do?’
If the T-Shirt makers on this site make a sweatshirt/hoodie with that on it (with reference to the “COVID Scam Wars”), I’ll definitely buy a couple!
The Government is waging military grade psychological warfare on us. BY THE BOOK
They must get us all “jabbed”, tracked and contact traced. Locked-down until we get official approval to be released.
Then they want to control where we travel, when we travel, how we travel. They want to control who we meet, they want to know why we meet, they want to know where we meet others. They want to control what we do when we meet others.
I could go on but I won’t it’s too demoralising.
EVIL bastards.
A replay of the 2008/9 banking crisis and the Swine Flu Scamdemic, but a thousand times worse
Humans are being held to ransom by the banks, the tech industries, Pharma, Bill Gates and the WEF. That’s it
This is not about health at all. This is about money and control
Another ‘conspiracy theorist’ comes out. Welcome to the Light Side, Jamie.
I wish it was a conspiracy. Saw so many shops, cafes, bars, restaurants closed and empty in my town. Some will never reopen again. Such a waste
The destruction is shocking
The quickest way out of this madness is mass disobedience. Plod cannot police 70million people. We cannot trust the politicians or the media (who are complicit and faithfully parroting the government propaganda) to change direction. They would have to accept a new direction if the public just ignored the ‘rules’.
We can’t trust the police, either!
They have utterly, utterly lost any right to be respected (at all) or obeyed on this subject.
Don’t tar all the police with the same brush!
Watch this and take note:

Like the NHS is mainly a Covid only outfit, the police are now really there as the government Covid restriction enforcers. One or two good eggs may still be left, but not enough to make a decent omelette and they won’t make a jot difference when the big crunch comes and it is coming very soon.
Poppy,
Well said.
This will unfortunately get worse before it gets better. The establishment are very afraid of us, they will divide and intimidate us as much as they possibly can. Right now they have two choices, 1) Back down, or 2) Double down.
Either way they are becoming more exposed every day.
BUT please don’t forget how dangerous a cornered animal will be.
Keep Battering On folks. Win or die. Easy choice.
Arnie.
Hi Poppy. Great words, articulately put. Would you be open to a brief interview for our podcast? Only over Zoom/Skype. Whatever/whenever suits you. If not no worries! If you are interested, drop us an email therealnormalpodcast(at)gmail(dot)com
Stay safe and strong, Lord R!
Thank you Lord R, I am very flattered and your podcast is fantastic, but I’m afraid I will have to turn down your offer as I’d like to remain anonymous (for now, at least!)
You do give us some hope for the future Poppy – you write so eloquently and are completely on point. I hope you are able to put your talents to good use whatever the future holds. We’ll certainly all be rooting for you anyway.
Hi Poppy. No worries! When the time is right drop us a line. All the best, Lord R!
Great comment- people like you are needed- stay strong even amidst the madness.
Not complying with this lunacy gives you strength.
Governments, by their very nature, tend towards wickedness. But although it probably doesn’t feel like it right now, realising this at 22, rather than 42/62/82, is a big gift.
I’m very very much older than you and I’ve seen wicked UK governments before, but never one, that has acted so maliciously as Johnson’s in this war by government against its own people. Most people remain utterly clueless, so it’s great to see someone young, who has got a very good grasp of what’s going on.
As Arnie says in his post above, it is now a case of “win or die” and of course, the young have by far the most to lose.
Tout your shop as much as you like, I’d be a regular if it was anywhere near me!
In the Coivd Ward artice, I don’t like the “While he waited overnight, a drunk man was admitted at 2am from A&E, without being tested for covid, although he was coughing and refusing to wear a mask. “. What has the muzzle got to do with anything? This gives support to the maskers.
How could Stephen know whether the inebriated man had been tested or not? Granted the results would not have been back immediately but that does not mean a swab was not taken. I am uneasy about the blame being apportioned to particular individuals when we are told that ‘infections’ are rife in hospital. I am so sorry for Stephen’s plight but I think caution is warranted when discussing such situations.
It’s yet another article that smacks of classism. I don’t know why on earth people continue to think that the virus gives a damn how posh you are. The working classes are the ones who’ve kept this country going – because they’ve been y’know…working. No second homes in the country to go to either. No nannies to help out. They may have suffered more but they’ll have the last laugh now they’re all immune.
Quite right. Haven’t we all noticed how the ordinary working people are the ones who take the most robust attitude towards all this bollox?
I take my hat off to them.
All the blokes coming here, mostly young to do jobs have been sceptical and humorous about this fiasco. Some even going on demos and watching UK Column..
Well my butler left at the start of first lockdown. And we are now having to make our own supper as cook no longer wants to live with us. Not safe you see. Takes me ages to get dressed in the morning without Tim. Morning coffee on the terrace is now spent with just my good lady and our lovely dog. What is the world coming to. Still we have some working men coming today to lay a new carpet, hope they are clean?
I know someone who doesn’t like to shop at Aldi “because they don’t know how to distance there.” Claimed it was better to shop at Sainsburys because they know how to distance. Me, I can’t go in a shop since I can barely keep myself from vomiting when I see someone in a mask.
I wasn’t comfortble with that article. It had a touch of the BBC about it.

‘Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ Lord Acton
The worst attack on civil liberties in UK history. Defined by cruelty.
This will cause suicides and I wonder if this is what the Government and those psychopaths at SAGE actually want.
..Psychologically torture people long enough so that they accept the vaccines and surveillance..
Have Covid restrictions simply been a nine months’ long arm twist designed to guarantee Bill Gates and Co the returns on their investments?
Is it really all about shareholders?
No it’s about Zero Carbon now.The vaccine will lead to a health/digital passport.The ban on mixing and socialising stops people talking and organising.Its also about the government and its cronies looting the public purse before the inevitable collapse of Sterling and the introduction of a digital currency.
Got a gas boiler?
“All 25 million of them have got to go by 2028”
Gov Minister (?) BBC R4 Today Programme this morning.
I have an oil boiler as there is no gas where I live. I also burn wood in my stove. But I do have solar PV also and my meter runs backwards in the summer thus providing me credit for the winter. No Smart meter as the signal is weak. They haven’t thought about rural areas as usual, it is all about cities. A bit like this so called pandemic.
Rural areas will be rewilded. We won’t be allowed to live here any more. That’s why they don’t care about them.
Same here, Oil boiler (No Gas), wood burner, iffy electric supply but Solar PV. Think I may need a battery backup. Wouldn’t have a “Smart” meter but as you say no mobile signal anyway.
Cannot have a smart meter as it is behind 16th cellar walls.
I won’t have a smart meter, up to now the electricity supply outfits have only asked me once and didn’t seem too bothered when I said no thanks.
Exactly the same for us & don’t forget the extra miles we drive because of tge distances between towns etc. Looks like going off-grid is coming ever closer.
Everybody loses, except the multi-billionaires
Even the super rich, the millionaires and the middle classes are in the firing line. This is unprecedented

Would the Vaccine Damage Court accept Freedom of Information requests, or would that information not be made available?
Looks like it:
https://fullfact.org/online/vaccine-damage-fund/
“The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) confirmed to us that the FOI was real, and had been made in 2017. An FOI tracking site, WhatDoTheyKnow, has noted that a request for the same data up until May 2019 was filed in May by the same person. The DWP’s response states that up until May 2019 £74,690,000 has been paid out from the fund, and 941 claims have been successful.”
Even the bullshitters at FullFact don’t deny it.
I still have visiting your neck of the woods and your cafe in my to do list. Go kh!!!!
Me too. For those who want to find kh’s tea shop, it is easy to find on a review search. Find the one that’s got a scathing review for not being Covid secure and you’re there!
It’s in my county but quite some distance but I am determined to go there once it’s allowed to seat people again.
I did manage to find it ages ago and since then its in my priority list to visit.
How about you broadcast that phone call by Dr Hodkinson all day?
Woke gobbeldygook.
BBC R4 07.57 this morning.
Sir Geoff Hurst, formerly English footballer of note, was discussing brain injuries caused caused by heading the ball and suggesting it might banned at junior level.
” this would give parents, sorry, families and essential care providers . . .”
Seems Parents are now on the naughty step.
Where I grew up someone stupid was often called a “Head the Ball”.
Good grief. Even if I wished to, I would not be able to keep up with the language stasi – I mean, I still don’t understand why ‘of colour’ is OK, but ‘coloured’ is evil!
It is the way it is unfortunately. I have epilepsy (sort of/sort of not – long story!). It is apparently inappropriate to use the term “epileptic” – the “correct” term is “person with epilepsy”
Ok, got it. Pie of steak. Car of Motor. Rain of heaviness… I’mgetting good at this!
I may be wrong, but I believe it’s because ‘coloured’ is a reminder of segregation in the USA.
Sociologists no longer use the word ‘mother’.
They are ‘primary caregivers’.
I no longer use the word ‘sociologist’.
They are ‘fuckwits’.
England will get even worse at football. In 50 years time, teams from other less woke countries will show up doing their mystical head tricks that nobody here will understand.

“Switzerland’s second C-19 wave is phasing out.
This time, the government ignored false predictions of its Swiss National C-19 task force and refused to impose a lockdown 2,only some foolish cantons took the measure.
Well done!”
Are there any stats on the lockdown cantons vs non?
I am not aware of any such studies.However masks has been mandatory in some cantons and there is no difference in cases between masked cantons and non masked cantons.
It’s so bizarre and surreal. But I don’t know anyone who’s had Covid since this charade began
They could re-enact those great videos that came out of China, where healthy young people drop down dead of Covid-19, in a railway station or somewhere equally convivial. They could have people collapsing in Euston or similar. It might just bring some of us sceptics to heel, while giving out of work actors a bob or two.
I have only heard of two people who have died of Covid in the latest ‘wave’. One was the husband of a hospital cleaner and the other a woman who caught it whilst in Doncaster Royal Infirmary for a knee replacement. My nephew, the husband of a nurse, has been quite ill with it; his wife less so.
Hospitals are the real problem here. The masks and ‘social distancing’ and all the rest of the nonsense are designed to cover that up. Test and Trace is pointless. Closing shops, pubs and gyms is pointless. The source of infection is hospitals. All resources and logistical skills need to be focused on that.
Testing people on admission to hospital must, therefore, be part of that. Non emergency cases should wait until they are clear and emergency cases should be in a separate area or building. I don’t see the logic of anyone refusing a test on admission to hospital, which must be part of the answer.
In the long term, there needs to be a serious overhaul of protocols for controlling infection in hospitals and preventing hospital based infection from going out into the community. There also needs to be an study of the health of NHS staff and a drive to reduce obesity. If some of that is down to shift patterns and lack of access to healthy food at work, that should be addressed. Gyms should be provided in hospitals and their use encouraged, along with dietary education which, frankly, trained health workers shouldn’t need. Ultimately, it should be made clear that obesity and smoking are not acceptable in NHS professionals.
Probably true – but the arrogant and incompetent NHS will never admit its failings and the MSM and public for whom the NHS is a religion (something foreigners just cannot understand) would let it literally get away with murder
. I wonder if a lot of this crap that we have had to put up with is there just to save the NHS’s face – truth will out eventually – unfortunately the muggles may refuse to believe it (as some of my older Russian relatives still believe in communism)
We need medical professionals to stand up and tell the true, en mass.
The NHS as the largest employer in The UK simply could not hide if enough people came out together and told the truth.
I know people have been told that they face sanctions if they speak out, what is more important letting people die because people are keeping quiet or putting a stop to this?
I think that is the best analysis I have read on this great site. The main problem is hospitals but by no means all of them. Some get it right, others have no desire to change and blame their failings on lack of funding.
An acceptable level of physical fitness, regularly tested should be a condition of service for all NHS professionals, as it should in the Police Force.
I completely agree. Everyday we see this is hospitals propagating the disease. Yet the whole of society is closed down for it.
Somebody who actually knows what they are doing (not a crony) needs to be appointed to deal with this. Then let the rest of us go.
I wonder if the widespread replacement of hospital buildings during the New Labour years may have made the situation worse, if the new buildings were not built with infection control in mind?
Single-storey buildings would be best for this purpose, because stairwells and lift shafts are especially difficult to secure.
Quite agree that hospitals are the worst.
In spring a German doctor noted that deaths in hospital had gone down, he said it was most likely as they did not do any difficult operations which people do not recover from and as they do not get hospital acquired infections.
I can’t see Sir Lancelot Spratt being too keen on that. Nor folks vaguely interested in liberty either.
Alien victims
Seriously? From the film “Alien”? When the alien shoots out of the plant and goes splat on the bloke’s face? Iconic moment of Western cinema.
Please everyone hold this government and compliant Labor party accountable for the misery they have inflicted on this Country and the British people a great percentage of them need putting on trial and jailing https://www.saveourrights.uk
If social distancing is pointless (Dr R Hodgkinson) because the virus travels in aerosol transmission then why are masks pointless too? Do they not disrupt the transmission slightly?
Hodkinson!
I know you got a downtick, but this is the question all the maskoids ask – what is a blast of an answer to this – anyone?
Presumably because you at some point have to breathe out, even wearing a mask, and your breath goes out (mostly sideways) and the covid droplets hang around in the air waiting for someone to come along and breathe them in. Which in any social setting they will sooner or later do.
Masks do not stop the virus. In fact it reduces your oxygen levels that leads to compromised immune systems, damage to the brain (watch out for an explosion of dementia in the future) and other illnesses

https://www.sott.net/article/438827-A-classic-fallacious-argument-If-masks-dont-work-then-why-do-surgeons-wear-them
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/11/14/mandatory-masks.aspx
I’m 9 months pregnant and haven’t been wearing one mainly because when I did once I did end up lightheaded and just thought ‘what the hell am I doing this for? I feel like I’m harming myself and possibly my unborn baby’
I’ve not seen any evidence of testing if masks harm unborn babies so I’m not prepared to be put at risk.
So I will have a look at your links with relish and hopefully they will answer my question above. Thank you.
Is an oxygen molecule bigger or smaller than a COVID virus? If a mask stops oxygen coming in does it provide a barrier for viruses too?
Just a thought that occurred to me as I read your answer too
The mask doesn’t stop oxygen coming in.
What it does is retains a % of your exhalations, so you rebreath some of your exhalation and have a slightly lower intake of oxygen and a slightly higher rebreath of your bodies waste products.
As viral load seems to be critical it is thought to be one reason why there is an increase in cases when mask wearing is enforced.
Normally 02 should be 20.9% in fresh air, when a mask is worn and the air is sampled next to your nose O2 is around 18%.
The other problem is that masks act as seives, breaking up the larger water droplets and allowing a higher % of fine droplets to pass through.
The smaller the moisture droplet is the longer they take to coalesce and fall to the ground, the smaller they are the deeper into the lungs they can be inhaled.
The other theory is that if Covid is contact transferred, all masks do is make people touch their faces more when they fidget / fuss with them.
Watch what people actually do, not what they say they do.
NO. Viruses are absolutely miniscule. Oxygen molecules are much bigger!
So, to use the graphic example, the mosquito fence would stop a wood pigeon but not a bee ….
No. Just as one person in a household might get the flu or a bad cold while the rest of the family are completely unscathed. It will always boil down to a healthy immune system and a body free of comorbidities.
I am at the point where I am existing simply for the sake of existing at the moment, with no end in sight to the mess the western world is in.
I started working at age 16 in the 1970’s, working hard and by the time I was 18 was told that I should start saving for my pension almost immediately, so dutifully I did, at the same time I was informed by the time I was 50 or 55 I would be able to retire and the money I had invested in my pension would allow me to live a decent life in retirement.
My state pension retirement age a few years ago was increased to 66 or 67, the pension funds I have saved into my various private pensions over the years are not yielding the amounts I was predicted to get at retirement.
My government has taken all the joyous things out of my life, from March to September 2020 my life, like many others consisted of work & home, work & home, with little else, perhaps the weekly trip to get groceries.
Masks are a major issue for me, seeing others forced to wear masks in a nightmare, when I say forced, I am referring to children rather than adults, as adult can make choices for themselves and face the consequences, this is not an option for children. I am dreading them becoming mandatory in the street.
At the moment I just feel like cashing in all my savings, donating the money to the various groups who are trying to fight this madness and having done with it.
The only reason I will not do this is I have a very supportive wife, who has supported me for the last 30 odd years through my various mental health issues and leaving her alone would not be fare on her.
Yes -it is the masks for me as well. Pubs were a welcome oasis when shops became muzzle zones -but then Bojo had to follow Wee Jimmie’s lead and insist that they be worn except when sat down. Wrecked the experience which wasn’t great anyway-sit there, take drinks off tray. How I had laughed when people came in muzzled and only took their muzzle off to eat or drink! I’m also dreading muzzling outside, exempt or not, the sight is distressing.
Come to Dartmoor. I have not seen anyone wearing a mask for 10 days now when I last went shopping. Nobody wears them outside where I live. Admittedly it is countryside but so refreshing to meet and talk with neighbours normally.
Agree. Seeing people masked is depressing – communication is difficult as the cloth reduces what their saying to grunts and unintelligible mumbling, ditto reading their expressions. Even when their eyes are “smiling” its not the same because there could be a disconnect between their eyes and the rest of their face that you can’t see.
Went to the recycling place 3 weeks ago. One of the guys there started mumbling something behind a huge mask. I said I couldn’t hear. He repeated and then I said I couldn’t hear (I could just actually but did not tell him that). After a third time he reluctantly pulled his mask down and I simply said “ah that’s better I can hear you now”.
My friend and I played that game in the bedwetter cafe. She’s brilliant at it!
Make no mistake. The Corona Scandal is a crime against humanity
You are an innocent who is simply being held hostage by corporations in a replay of the 2008/9 banking crisis and Swine Flu ‘Scamdemic’
Pharma companies, the NHS, Bill and Melinda Gates, the banks, tech industries, the PCR test manufacturers, politicians, the companies who manufacture face masks for children, the police who have arrested peaceful protestors, the media big wigs (Piers Morgan et al) all deserve to stand trial for crimes against humanity. The first three who come to mind are Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance (with his pharma shares) and Neil Ferguson. All of them profiting personally from human tragedy
Try to find places where the muzzle wearers are scarce.
That’s why I like going to my local park. Everyone smiles, says hello and there are always the antics of the dogs and toddlers to cheer you up.
For the record, I have transcribed Dr Roger Hodkinson’s address to the Alberta officials.

“The greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public”

Thank you very much.
I do appreciate the opportunity to address you on this very important matter.
What I’m going to say is lay language and blunt.
It’s counter narrative, and so you don’t immediately think I’m a quack I’m going to briefly outline my credentials so that you can understand where I’m coming from in terms of knowledge base in all of this.
I’m a medical specialist in pathology, which includes virology.
I trained at Cambridge University in the UK.
I’m the ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association.
I was previously an assistant professor in the faculty of medicine doing a lot of teaching.
I was the chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee in Pathology in Ottawa.
But more to the point I’m currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in North Carolina selling a COVID-19 test.
You might say I know a little bit about all this.
The bottom line is simply this: there is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians.
It’s outrageous.
This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.
There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus, other than protecting older, more vulnerable people.
It should be thought of nothing more than a bad flu season.
This is not Ebola, it’s not SARS.
It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game.
There is no action of any kind needed, other than what happened last year when we felt unwell.
We stayed home, we took chicken noodle soup, we didn’t visit granny, and we decided when we would return to work.
We didn’t need anyone to tell us.
Masks are utterly useless.
There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever.
Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signalling.
They’re not even worn effectively most of the time.
It’s utterly ridiculous seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people (and not saying that in a pejorative sense) seeing these people walking around like lemmings, obeying, without any knowledge base, to put the mask on their face.
Social distancing is also useless because COVID is spread by aerosols, which travel 30 meters or so before landing.
And closures have had such terrible unintended consequences.
Everywhere should be open tomorrow, as was stated in the Great Barrington declaration that I circulated prior to this meeting.
And a word on testing.
I do want to emphasize that I’m in the business of testing for COVID.
I do want to emphasize that positive test results do not — underlined in neon — mean a clinical infection.
It’s simply driving public hysteria and all testing should stop.
Unless you’re presenting to hospital with some respiratory problem, all that should be done is to protect the vulnerable.
And to give them all in the nursing homes that are under your control, give them all three to five thousand international units of vitamin D every day, which has been shown to radically reduce the likelihood of infection.
And I would remind you all that, using the province’s own statistics, the risk of death under 65 in this province is one in three hundred thousand.
One in three hundred thousand.
You’ve got to get a grip on this.
The scale of the response that you’re undertaking with no evidence for it is utterly ridiculous, given the consequences of acting in a way that you’re proposing.
All kinds of suicides, business closures, funerals weddings, etc, etc.
It’s simply outrageous.
It’s just another bad flu and you’ve got to get your minds around that.
Let people make their own decisions.
You should be totally out of the business of medicine.
You’re being led down the garden path by the chief medical officer for this province.
I’m absolutely outraged that this has reached this level.
It should all stop tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
Thank you – that needs to be circulated as widely as possible.
In case anyone needs it, I’ve made a standalone page of the transcript on Panscepticon.
MC – thanks for doing this for us.
Brave man – I hope he still has a job.
They are going to need a pretty big sports bag, he is a chunky guy.
Thanks for that MC. Dr Hodkinson is another man who’d be well advised not to “go for a walk in the woods alone”.
Awesome. Thanks!
The question now is.. how far will the conservative party and its ‘leadership’ aka Stanley, Doris and Princess Nut Nut get with this mad great reset?
A reset that will hand world hegemony to China. Surely those letters are now going in to Graham? Surely this mad great reset will be thwarted?
Interesting news on treatment;
https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-100956/v2
Tyneside Tigress posted this late last night so might not have been seen by many https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/11/17/people-have-covid-vaccine-could-get-qr-codes-allowing-access/ . It’s paywalled but the title gives the jist . I’m not anti vax, I’ve had tetanus, cholera and typhoid but they were well tested and safe. How can these vaccines be deemed safe when they have only been around for a few months?
Of course we won’t need a QR code to show we’ve had the rubella jab or the vaccination against any thing else that can really cause devastating consequences No, all that matters is Covid. Never mind, I’m sure some enterprising people can come up with a line in fake QRs
Unfortunately fake QRs won’t get you anywhere. A QR code is simply a way of encoding a string so that it can be picked up by a poor quality camera used in a casual manner. These QR codes will be URLs to connect to some kind of database, which means the scanning app will be able to recognise and reject any which don’t have the correct domain name. As far as that’s concerned it’s bulletproof.
Of course, the fact that it would have to be a government database is probably our saviour. Time and time again governments have demonstrated they couldn’t produce a simple database to save their lives: the spin is that something like the NHS IT system or track and trace is complicated, but they aren’t – large amounts of data is not the same thing as complexity. It’s simply that the culture of cronyism means that the projects are invariably farmed out to incompetents who just happen to be friends of minsters.
Nobody’s had it yet.
Wait until they have.
Wait for the side effects.

Command-R and escape works on Apple mac
I think modern parlance calls that “a hack”. I tried this on the telegraph link above. First I responded to the cookie dialog box (I actually used the maange cookies option and rejected everything, as I normally do) and then used the refresh escape technique and got the full article. Many thanks!
Toby may say it’s a test for the CRG but it’s an irrelevance. The vast majority of Tory MPs and all Labour MPs are in favour of lockdowns. The vote will go through just like every other vote. When you have no true opposition in parliament or the media you have no democracy and the path to totalitarianism is a cakewalk.
Rebellions are talked up for every vote but ultimately prove to be pathetically weak.
80 is the number of Tory MPs required to trigger a vote of no confidence; even if the Johnson doesn’t fancy the gig anymore because it hasn’t turned out to be the jolly japes and games of wiff waff that he thought it would be, I can’t see Lady Macbeth allowing him to unscrew his courage to the sticking place.
Don’t believe that caricature of Mr Johnson. If you want a ( slightly fictionalised) view of his real character look at Peter Judd in the Mick Herron novels. He is driven , and seeks power and glory. Princess nut nuts is helping him become a ‘world player’ , to strut his stuff on the world stage, leading the green revolution etc. The UK PM job is a mere stepping stone, he doesn’t want re-election, his sights are set on bigger targets. He is quite ruthless underneath the flannel and apparent flip-flops designed to cover his ambitions. Scratch the surface and you find a meglomaniac from Austria-Hungarian empire days. Him and Mr Schwab will get on just fine.
Doesn’t stop him from being a brazen bullshitting skiver though!
When a leader needs opposition votes – due to rebellion in his/her own party – a vote of no confidence follows. Despite Max Headroom being part of the great reset, labour could not be seen to save Boris. But like Toby said, it’s one shot.. one shot.. one shot..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_A66lAAMDM&t=73s
I’d love that to happen but it won’t. At best there may be some concessions on technicalities to pacify the CRG but it will be going through nonetheless. This is a runaway train and we need half the Tory party and all the Labour Party to be against it just to slow it down. If the Tory party are generally in favour what’s it matter to us who the leader is anyway? It will be the same misery, perhaps even worse.
It was so blatant when they pulled the stunt with the last “concession.”
It’s to be hoped the rebels won’t be so naive this time – she said naively.
If there was a real pandemic Christmas would be the last thing we would be worried about.
Never a truer word spoken.

What is “The Great Reset”? Paul Joseph Watson with James Delingpole
James getting braver and braver.. a slim man with big courage.
https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/you-think-masks-uncomfortable-try-4710229 apparently we should wear masks so we don’t need intubation.
Long term effects of the illness? Long term effects of invasive intubation if I were to hazard a guess. No context, no mention of health prior to ‘infection’. Dilute unadulterated propaganda.
They just don’t stop this nonsense. As we know mask wearing perpetuates the fear.
I don’t even need to open that to know it will be disgusting, emotional blackmail based propaganda.
CRG is a rabble within a rabble. Boris can safely ignore the emasculated, spaced-out parliament.
Edicts, diktats, ukases and rule-by-decree can be just as safely issued from the isolation apartment in Downing Street as from any Churchillian bunker.
Alok Sharma is probably the most blatant and transparent greasy pole climber.. Boris could announce castration and Alok would sing its praises.
He’s intellectually challenged – like Hancock, Shapps and Williamson – but less evil than Hancock, and that’s his only virtue.
Having just listened to him on Talkradio. It’s no surprise we are all being pummelled when these people are the representation we have.
I was onto him a couple of weeks in – his ‘sadliedieds’ were the worst acted ones out of all of them
The photo of the Japanese protesters is one that gladdens me and shows that we are not alone in being lockdown sceptics and questioning the prevailing orthodoxy regarding tests, masks and the virus itself. There are many of us across the globe and we should support each other.
As our fellow Brits happily surrender their democratic rights and civil liberties, spare a thought for the brave people of Thailand who have been protesting all day every day over their country’s march towards an absolute monarchy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfF3CGVwrs4
A bit of historic note – the current dynasty that rules Thailand (Chakri dynasty) has been on the throne since 1767. In 1932, a military coup led the king to renounce absolutism and introduce a constitutional monarchy. Since then Thailand has experienced more than enough coups and despite the constitution limiting the monarch’s powers, he has almost god like status and their lese majeste laws are some of the harshest in the world.
In 2016 King Bhumibol died after a long illness and he was succeeded by his son Crown Prince Vajiralongkor. His scandalous lifestyle has already made him unpopular as crown prince but as King, his constant absences and moves towards re-establishing the pre-1932 order hasn’t gone down well especially with the young.
So to our fellow citizens who are still asleep and still think this is about a virus, do we want to end up like this? For me its not about the virus its all about our rights and dignity as people and about justice.
What Japanese protestors, if you don’t mind me asking?
Its towards the end of today’s update.
52000 dead they say? Well FOI act. I am assessing the data from the NHS and ONS as an IT professional. There is no ‘end to end’ process of data entry, aggregation, verification, tied to source medical records which can be audited. This means that the 52.000 cannot be audited and confirmed. This means that the NHS cannot confirm its own dead counts and how the ONS aggregates and reports on the NHS data. So it is bogus. The dead count might well be manually inflated. Big Data analysis and statistics are being performed on it, to catch anomalies.
Further, it appears that many flu deaths (normal flu) are now being moved into CV-19 and that many deaths (widely reported) are with, not from CV-19. The actual death rate (still to be statistically analysed) is probably 15.000 maybe 20.000. In my view, locking down a country, not allowing people to visit the sick and old, destroying jobs based on what might be 20.000 dead out of a population of 70 millions, with the attendant 24-7 fear mongering is criminal. If the data does not support the dead count, then we will need to take this to court. Open data, open science, love, children’s future, in-it-together and all that b.s. you know. Still working on mapping the ONS data to raw, unfiltered, source data.
Opensafely.org has anonymised NHS records to the tune of 25million.
This could be useful for your work.
What exactly is going on in Boris’ head? Is he evil? Damaged? Not bright? What is it about this strange man?
severely compromised
As in “kompromat”?
Not sure how that work: doesn’t everyone already know that he’s a philanderer?
How I wish we knew.
My take is he is not very bright. Yes he has his Oxford Classics degree but that is surely an incredibly narrow field.
Add to the lack of smarts is laziness and a complete lack of moral compass. He really doesn’t care about others.
Then he is a political animal trying so hard to avoid blame for what he’s done so far. SAGE, for left wing reasons of their own, love us all being in a totalitarian lockdown so their advice is always the same and he is happy to follow it so he can say “because the science” and not have to navigate a way out of the mess he’s caused.
Then you have the Carrie factor. Of course she’s as green and woke as they come and bringing in her green agenda on the back of all of this is certainly convenient. He’s following his p**s and not his little brain. Not uncommon in middle aged men who’ve “somehow” got a younger female in tow.
To summarise, dumb, lazy, immoral and c**tstruck.
Agree – surely his party can see how self-obsessed, lacking any empathy and clearly not fit for the job.
He’s grown up in a very elitist bubble of eton and oxford etc and just does not understand how ‘normal’ people live, and his whole manner of speaking is so patronising and just annoys me so much i can’t listen.
His cock rules his brain
“IT” is his brain, Cock Brain Boris.
hostage situation- Carrie has him on a short lead
PD dePiffle is NPD, like his dad. Indeed some narc aficionados have written quite a lot about his typical narc attributes. Evil.
Today’s suggested stocking-filler is a 2020-themed re-write of the classic ZX Spectrum game “Horace Goes Skiing”
I think Horace preferred 1982 – although it was more dangerous. If he’d hit that chevron in 1982, it would have cost the NHS millions by now.
Luckily, in 2020 he is kept safe from the dangers of the outside world for the good of himself and others.
These days, Horace sits at home alone watching the news, repeating to himself “I don’t go skiing to protect the environment and the NHS which protects my friends, my gran and even strangers who I wouldn’t otherwise give a shit about”
Loved that game. How about one for The Game of Life’?
It did cross my mind, wouldn’t it just be four squares and a one sided dice?
GET BORN -> GET TAXED -> STAY SAFE -> DIE
The pegs for the cars would have to all be the same colours too surely? Electric cars obviously.
You’d never be able to earn any money to buy a car
If you are good you may get one on social credit.
Wow that brings back memories.
Nice touch on the 2020 skiing season.
Here’s my contribution using Alligata’s tough-as-balls platformer, Blagger.
First whiff of a Conservative Party public procurement corruption scandal and the state broadcaster and all others are all over it……a good thing.
Amnesty International report into thousands killed by incompetent government policies……silence….
https://www.amnesty.org.uk/care-homes-report
Remind me, where has so much of the preaching about lives being more important than money come from?
Any independent public inquiry should have an extremely broad remit to look at profound constitutional change, reform of the NHS and the breaking up of the state broadcaster.
It won’t. Even if it did, it will be controlled by the complicit. Put not your faith in public inquiries, nor in any royal commission.
Have you sent in your submission to the House of Lords call for evidence?
https://committees.parliament.uk/call-for-evidence/165/constitutional-implications-of-covid19/
“Notwithstanding the purported a-legal character of the Report, it will undoubtedly provide significant evidence, and thus impetus, for victims of families to proceed with criminal and/or civil legal action. Civil liability claims could also arise from the fact that the findings of the Report show the absence of an effective asset tracking system – something the MOD had identified but not addressed – as well as serious equipment failures caused as a result of the decisions taken.”
https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/chilcot-inquiry-reaction-universitys-experts-comment–analysis-on-reports-findings/
The banning of Huck Finn, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Of Mice and Men on the ground they are racist is a perfect (albeit depressing) summary of the times. To construe these works as racist requires a special blend of ignorance, arrogance and a massive sense of moral superiority.
The works of the three authors (Mark Twain, Harper Lee and John Steinbeck) demonstrate, not just literary qualities, but moral sense: a moral sense that transcended the common, received ideas of their times. Any disinterested, informed, humane comparison of the moral sense embodied in these works with the values of the Woke would inevitably come to one, and only one, conclusion. Notwithstanding the professions of the Woke, they moral pygmies, but now I have used that word, they can forget all about everything else I have said, accuse me of racism and make themselves feel superior. Woke is nothing more than narcissism dressed up as a concern for others.
I think all three have gone through cycles of being banned and then released over decades. Hopefully it will be the same again.
Your comments are true for anyone with half a brain, but that seems to be dangerous right now.
Seems to be a new obsession with how far total deaths are above the 5-year average. Shouldn’t the question be ‘but are they within the expected range?’ Innumerate journos seem to equate average to being some precise target to never be deviated from.
I don’t understand why the Offences Against The Person Act can’t be invoked, and all restrictions removed.
https://www.tht.org.uk/hiv-and-sexual-health/living-well-hiv/legal-issues/how-law-works
This allows for reckless and deliberate transmission of an infectious disease to be an offence. What a reasonable person would regard as reckless could be argued in front of the magistrate or judge and some common law would follow.
A somewhat worrying update to my post of an hour or two ago. As expected the argument continued but I was a bit shocked at his latest effort. It’s not out of character but still it scares me that people like him can accept this kind of authoritarianism without any doubt at all. When I asked him if he would be vaccinated:
JC:
I wouldn’t be at the front of the queue. But if/when offered it the I certainly wouldn’t decline.
Me:
That’s your prerogative and it’s fine. Will you have your kids vaccinated too?
I wouldn’t take it at all for a number of reasons. However I have had my kids (and myself) vaccinated for things like measles, polio etc. So the point is that someone who assesses the benefits / risks of a specific vaccine and chooses not to have it isn’t an “anti vaxxer”, conspiracy theorist or nutter. It’s ludicrous that people should be coerced into having it and threatened with restrictions if they don’t.
JC:
No it isnt
JC:
I dont think it is ludicrous. If you wish to exercise your free will and not take the vaccine then its perfectly legit for a country to exercise its free will and say sorry, we don’t want you to come here. Or for a company to say we don’t want to permit you to enter our workplace.
Me:
A country doesn’t have “free will”. There are laws that are supposed to protect human rights. If you think it’s legit then that’s up to you. This is not like a measles vaccine. There are serious scientific and ethical questions to ask before whole populations become guinea pigs for a barely-tested vaccine that is likely to cause side-effects and unlikely to eradicate an endemic virus.
The fact remains that coming to a different conclusion to you doesn’t make someone a conspiracy theorist, much less a nutter.
How much actual research have you done on any of this?
You are running into the ‘group think’ that has overtaken society throughout the west. Quite deliberately I think over many years through the education system. ‘Society’ is more important than the individual. If society deems something you do to be unacceptable then you will be banned if you do not conform. The extreme example is Chinese social credits, and the west is moving towards that system rather quickly now.
We are being turned into hive creatures.
Ugh bloody groupthink. My former employer was awful for this, their Big Brother, the government or the BBC could announce that 2 plus 2 now equalled 5 and at least 90% of everyone there would unquestioningly swallow it. Thankfully I don’t have to put up with those sheep bleating the approved noises every day anymore, they honestly deserve the “vaccine” and all the injuries that will come with it.
The research he has done is that which the media have told him. If his argument follows:-
A ‘country’ is an invented concept that actually only exists within our minds, its is not sentient. It does not have ‘free will’.
So all the sentient life forms that do actually exist, think, feel, hurt, etc should be willing to harm themselves and sacrifice their liberty in order to serve an imaginary concept that does not actually exist at all.
I had the same argument with a friend who said that “too many people are just insisting on being an individual about this whole crisis”.
I asked how else does one be? Self accountability or contract arrangement as individuals. Not coercion to a group ideology
Thank you everyone for your comments. most helpful and insightful. I think this might be the last time I post a transcript of our FB discussion as it might become a bit boring, but we seem to have converged slightly, at least in terms of degenerating into a full blown argument. I used some of the wisdom from you guys in my latest reply:
JC:
I think we’re coming at this from a different perspective. I’m predicting (Ed’s note – I think he meant predicating) all my responses on a vaccine that has been rigorously tested. There are serious checks and balances before any vaccine can be brought to the general population. You seem to be predicting your responses on a vaccine that doesn’t go through these stringent regulatory requirements. If you talk about different things, you’re going to come to different conclusions.
Me:
To some extent yes we are. Although my perspective is that the vaccine is going to be fast tracked and offered in the next few weeks / months.
However the other area in which we possibly differ is that I refuse to believe most of the mainstream narrative at face value. I have done a fair amount of digging into non-mainstream views and it contradicts what we are being told. Starting with the fact (or “opinion” if you like) that most of the govt narrative / strategy starts with PCR testing which is flawed. It’s completely not fit for the purpose for which it’s being used. Consequently, the COVID “cases”, deaths and subsequently all the government response to COVID is based on flawed data.
I would be interested to hear what sort of research you’ve done, or from where you’re getting your information. If it’s from the BBC, CNN, Piers Morgan or other such MSM then I think it would be wise to look beyond that if you want to be properly informed.
I don’t want to get into stupid arguments or make this into a political forum, but there is a lot of information out there that is not being widely broadcast, and a lot of what we do get is frankly propaganda
So I chose not to go as far as to say that the need for a vaccine is also based on this flawed strategy. I am genuinely interested to hear what he says about his source of information. I might send him some links, starting with this one which I think is pretty hard to argue with – the privately recorded meeting link that I picked up (again I can’t recall from where but might have been on here):

Oh my gosh I am going to share the hell out of Dr Hodkinsons clip.
I have posted a transcript of the clip on Panscepticon, in case that helps.
They have already messed up Christmas for me. Most family members are ignoring the restrictions and happy see one another for hugs and celebrations, but my Grandmother and Mother in Law are still that frightened of it all they don’t want our usual family Christmas gatherings. My Grandmother usually has a large party with 30 plus people in her house on Christmas night and its the only time of the year we get so see many of our uncles, aunts, cousins etc. We just have to respect her wishes and she is 82 years old. MIL on the other hand is just driven by all the hysteria and may as well have shares in the BBC.
Really sorry to hear that. I too am acutely aware that although personally (like most on these pages I assume) will be telling the government to take a jump with these latest laws, a great many, including in our own families) are just too scared. Scared of the Black Death. Scared of the police. Of the neighbours reporting them. Just traumatised, and that is what I find so hard to accept, for them.
I know of an old person who is still self-isolating all the way since March. I can’t get that round my head. Are they going to isolate until they die to avoid dying?
To be brutally honest. Yes probably. Sad.
To be honest, if they are that gullible they must be left to wallow in their own terror.
We should have a lockdown sceptics big xmas bash!!
Masks banned, hugs encouraged, handshakes a must, and a cheeky kiss under the mistletoe if you’ve had too much of the punch
Sorry to read that and you won’t be a alone in experiences such as these.
Perhaps she is just sick of having 30 people round every xmas? I know I am!
End of petrol and diesel car sales by 2030. What a convenient date that is…
What’s it matter when we won’t be allowed to go anywhere anyway?
Point well made for a moment I had forgotten about my serfdom.
Won’t happen..
End of.
Annie. Please please please expect that it will happen.
I have no idea of your political leaning but please note that the far left are in control and up to them they would strip you of any freedom.
Make no mistake there are no real right of centre parties. The green party aren’t a real political party, they just exist to exert pressure on a debunked pretence of man made global warming. The main advocate (Attenborough) thinks humans are too many – what do you propose their answer is to that?
The problem with the left-right paradigm is that the left never cease pushing left and the right never stop conceding.
Only a strong push to the right will restore balance.
Both Labour and the Conservatives terminated our rights and liberties and decimated the economy. They can never be trusted again. Anyone that votes for them at the next election will be collaborators.
The Conservative party is no longer operating on any conservative values.
Strategic voting will need to take place to keep these 2 parties out at the next election. At this stage the Reclaim party and the Reform UK party are the two choices that could attract our votes. We might not agree to everything they stand for, but we will need to make the best choice.
There is no way the infrastructure necessary will be built in 10 years. New power stations will be needed, charging points needed at every parking place and recycling facilities for the batteries as a minimum.
It already is.They are turning the zero carbon screw.London Taxis have been forced to be electric only since 2018.Guess who brought that law in.
Well a lot of things they’ve pulled off in the last eight months have surprised me to say the least.
It will happen. You can’t get an electric camper van that isn’t A: Stupidly expensive B: Almost useless. That’s us screwed.
Princess nut nuts is the gift that keeps on giving
It appears that at some point in the future we are all going to be driving around in cars made from fairy cakes (with or without sprinkles, your call)
Of course none of this will ever happen, but attention must be drawn away from the murders in the care homes
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54981425
It will never happen. It’s just an attention seeking load of old tosh. Anyone seriously think BJ or the Conservatives will be in power in 4 years time let alone 9 ? Ignore and move on.
Dr Hodkinsons recording would make an excellent public health announcement on primetime Beeb
Will never happen, it’s up to us to spread it around
Done
no shit sherlock
If we can send these to all in; the cabinet, sage, any public health, with a further ban on communications – we will have cured covid
Love, love, love the cruise ship idea. Would even put money on the outcome.
Doubtless is has been deemed too difficult, too dangerous etc because our rulers whoever they may really be (because lets face it, it ain’t bumbling Bozza) also know what the outcome would be….
What a brilliant edition. Toby/Will you are stars.
Time and time again studies show lockdowns have no effect on the spread, masks and the plethora of other restrictions have no effect, yet government continues to pursue these damaging measures. You have ask, why?
Married to the model. Unable to change direction and given top cover from the rest of Europe to make money at the expense of everyone else.
Just a massive abusive relationship / protection racket.
Re Stephen Lavin story written by Sandra Barwick, a former Telegraph journalist
Great story but why the focus on the mask not being worn by the drunk? We all know that masks cannot stop the virus.
Why would they admit a coughing drunk from A&E to a ward with people recovering from surgery regardless of his mask or test status. Are ‘medics’ only interested in the precautionary principle when they think it justifies the implementation of tyranny.
But Stephen may not have known that at the time so his concern was not unwarranted.
I keep getting these visions of a gothic mansion called ‘Tory Towers’, or something, with scores of MPs outside trying to break the door down while all that can be heard from inside is the sound of banging & crashing and breaking glass as if a few madmen are inside wrecking the joint so it will be unfit for habitation for years to come. The guys outside better kick the door in quick, or they’ll be out of a home.
It’s amazing that PCR and flow testing is still going on at an industrial scale when it is frankly shite.
It always was shite unless you characterise and calibrate the procedures against a standard. And then use it within a tight set of circumstances.
This takes less than 5 minutes to work out. And yet it seems that we need to waste billions upon billions, fuck the economy, trample rights to figure this out.
It’s not amazing… It’s a TOOL. Provides huge PROFITS and it’s perfect to build the “PANDEMIC OF CASES”!
But it’s clear that the vast majority of the herd is still in “obey and graze” mode.
Mass non-compliance from a specific date may be the only way to get free. It’s clear the government don’t intend to let us ever return to the old normal.
I’ve said it before but it’s up to the public to end this now, the authorities have no interest in stopping it. Only mass civil disobedience will stop it.
Sadly that is unlikely.
A couple of weeks ago, someone (Mark or Matt, maybe) put it very simply. “This stops when the people say no”. Unfortunately…
Perhaps going back into lockdown after Xmas when many will still be on holiday.
Been non compliant since Wales diverted from the mainstream lockdown.
Hasn’t made much difference though.
I was thinking you could make it very simple. Over the period of further restrictions, organise a day when two households will mix. Make it a campaign with the only request that a picture of the two families having fun in any way is posted online with the hashtag #nomore
re £18 Billion PPE Scandal & Other contracts without proper process
This is out and out crony enrichment and fraud. These cronies have made life changing hundreds of millions of pounds gains where other ordinary people will not be able to afford a roof over their heads or lose their businesses because they are legally not allowed to be open.
That’s not a scandal… It’s just BUSINESS as usual among scoundrels and fraudsters.
But what’s the surprise, if modern moron slaves persist in voting for scoundrels and fraudsters!
It’s outrageous but essentially a distraction, just which companies make a packet and which don’t.
BBC R4 Today Programme did ask about a ‘middleman’ receiving £21 million just to act as a go between.
The Minister (?) replied that 70% of PPE is now made in the UK.
As if that will make it right. Obviously that answer was good enough for BBC R4.
The PPE made in the UK contracts were also awarded without proper process and scrutiny and lots more cronyism and fraud
It’s disaster capitalism. The fraud is only what we know so far. The truth is likely to be many magnitudes more.
We are continually told that we are the reason why we are in this mess and all this cronyism is ongoing from the very same people berating the people.
In Spain they chased King Carlos into exile recently. Here, meh.
Jail sounds better for these bastards
Well this is what happens when scoundrels and morons use PCR pretending it is a test!
As for the signs to other fellow moron slaves I’ve this one…
“The WHO and NHS RECOMMENDS”
I have just read this article by Iain Davies https://in-this-together.com/covid-19-evidence-of-global-fraud/
In it he makes an argument that the coronavirus issue is a global conspiracy and the perpetrators ought to be prosecuted. A foundation for his argument is the virus’ existence has not been established. He presents this case very persuasively. And if he is correct, we a problem of unimaginable proportions.
Thanks to various posters for posting information that I have managed to use to convert someone to the ways of righteousness. He was a proper bed wetter as well!!!
Why, oh why do people – especially those at the sharp end – not look at the law/guidance on this?
Haven’t they seen that TV advert, where Bunter, in his chummy pullover, says “We should all wear face coverings to stop the virus, but don’t forget, some people are exempt and we should all be kind to them”. Oh, hang on…
Because they are just obeying orders….
World Economic Forum

Pt 2 the guilty parties
Good find! Interesting that Stephanie Kelton is included, who pushes “modern monetary theory” and a “job guarantee”, both of which sound lovely but result in the state taking more and more control of the economy.
Deaths from C-19 without pneumonia is controversial. I think SK only accept pneumonia as death of C-19.This would half the deaths of C-19 in the US.All international comparisons of deaths of C-19 must include which criteria
https://twitter.com/tlowdon/status/1328909853306220544
“CDC has certified 230,000 C19 deaths so far by date & cause. 46% (105K) died w/ pneumonia & the remaining 54% (125K) did not. Many merely tested positive sometime prior to passing. Included in that 230K are 8K deaths by injury. C19 deaths are overcounted”
Imagine how taking half of Covid deaths off one column and putting it into another. The CV19 zealots would not know what to do. They’d have to readjust their entire thinking overnight to begin to say that we have two pandemics now. Or something like that you’d expect.
A heard has no problem with turning in an instant.
Inspired by the Dr Hodkinson quotes, I’m trying to put together a poster/leaflet that shows the most credible, data-supported Covid sceptic facts. It is specifically designed for people who think sceptics are anti-science, so I want it to be very relevant quotes from respected people, or very clear science/data from official sources.
Got a couple of ideas for quotes on it – as you can see – but if anyone can suggest the very best examples of high-credibility quotes/data suitable for de-Covidication of semi-educated Joe Public that I can put on here that would be much appreciated. Any finished print file can, of course, be shared with anyone who might want it.
IFR is 0.15>0.2%. John Ioannidis paper published by the WHO. If you are under 65, flu is more dangerous.
I’m guessing that rabid lockdowners aren’t motivated by fear of personally dying of the virus.
Virtue signalling is the only thing that makes them feel alive. They’re afraid of losing the excuse to virtue signal
Great poster. Keep it simple.
This article might help with more facts

Very good. Worth a full page ad in “The Times”
Thanks! I think it needs something in there that is highly credible but clear about the genuine risk of Covid. A lot of people seem to genuinely believe it is a Justinian Plague level threat, and that is why they are willing to give up their freedom/children’s future/happiness. Just want something in there that shows clearly that, yes its not pleasant, but your perception of risk is completely out of whack.
In fact a perception of risk stat would be good. ie “The risk of a healthy person in the UK dying of Covid is identical to the risk of dying from [something else that people aren’t scared of but which is statistically just as dangerous] If anyone knows of one!
I like your implied link with mask wearing and mass hysteria. They seem to feed off each other.
Because I uses buses so much I’m very concerned about the impact mask wearing has had on the use of public transport. Mask wearing became mandatory on buses before they were made mandatory in shops. I imagine this was to encourage people to use public transport – to make them feel safe. I think it has rather done exactly the opposite. If you need to wear a mask on a bus going on one myst be as perilous as going to hospital – worse even!
Sorry this doesn’t provide you with a statistic you want.
The risk of dying with the coronavirus mirrors exactly the risk of dying for the population minus the virus. That is, the virus has had zero effect on mortality.
I have seen that somewhere previously but can’t find an official source for it at the moment
Why don’t we club together and buy a page in the Times?
Crowd funding? I’m just wonder if the Times or any newspaper would carry it though? Yea, the way the government is behaving they might whack on a million pound fine and send the editor to the Tower.
Mail might – they are getting more sceptical and, judging by who appears on their webpage adverts, don’t care where their ad revenue comes from!
(Re: the use of ‘cases & mass testing’) Prof. Allyson Pollock, as interviewed on BBC news: “It is not a test which tells you whether you have infection, or whether you’re infectious.”

I’m reading “The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism” by Thomas Frank. He’s written about the history of populism in the US during another era where ordinary people suffered greatly. Obviously, a very different time from now, but two bits seem relevant for us.
Since we have lost faith in the (British) government, there must be something wrong with us. I hasten to add that he doesn’t actually mean something is wrong with the people, but rather that blame has been placed in the wrong place.
Another bit about a different issue, but the words feel relevant today:
Thomas Frank is a man with interesting ideas, perhaps because he is a leftist (a Democrat) who came from Republican youth, as Peter Hitchens is a conservative who came from radical left (Trotskyist) youth. Here he is being interviewed:
Thomas Frank on Anti-Populism’s Surprising History
“…here’s the real twist in the story. … in the 1890s the people who hated populism were on the right – this was the establishment, the economists, the rich people, the bankers, … the established order, who were defending themselves from what they saw as a radical onslaught. Today the people who use this exact same stereotype, and I mean it’s identical, these are liberals, now….Anti-populism has gone from right to left, but it’s the same ideology. You know this idea that good government and reason and order…. or what we would call “norms”, are “threatened” … by an uprising of the common people, of people who have, of deplorables, people who have no business ruling, have no business making any decisions.”
I would say, as I do here frequently, that the reason for this is the long triumph of the left through the C20th, so that the left are now the establishment, and establishments don’t like outsiders threatening their rule.
Just how many hundreds or thousands cock ups are needed before you get a conspiracy?
You go to a restaurant on Saturday evening.
The bill comes back with a mistake in the restaurant’s favour. You query it.
“Oh sorry Sir, I’m really awful at arithmetic. What a stupid mistake”
The next Saturday the same thing – mistake in the restaurant’s favour.
“Oh sorry Sir …..”
…and so on for 52 weeks.
Amazing, the incompetence. Why can’t the restaurant employ people who can do simple arithmetic.
If you mean how many before one gets to suspicion of a possible conspiracy, the answer is one might be enough. If you mean how many before one knows it is a conspiracy, the answer is no number would be sufficient.

“France (lockdown)
Belgium (post-peak lockdown)
Switzerland (no national lockdown)”
Ireland could fit in there as well?
My own NHS ward in Northern Ireland is on the same trajectory. Been in Lockdown since Oct 2nd.
How is the UK on that graph?
Here you go.
France went as nutty as UK for mass testing, so loads of false positives. Recently it stipulated only 3 categories of people could get tests. Result in the graph shown.
As far as real infections statistics are concerned, completely useless. Similar results in hospitals as UK, same sort of infections whilst on ward for other illness, but at least France does daily reports on hospital discharges which have been running higher than new admittances for some time. In fact to such an extent that I am wondering if they smuggling people in the back door to release through the front, doesn’t add up.
Euromomo z-chart for France shows a blip in excess deaths all sources in the last couple of weeks, but no more than other similar blips over the years. It has come a little earlier than normal , usually centering on mid-dec to mid jan, but the magnitude is less than normal years excess due to seasonal flu.
Absolutely everything points to this late autumn situation beingnothing out of the ordinary.

I had my flu vaccination yesterday, in West Oxfordshire, all very efficiently organised. Yes, masks were compulsory but I wasn’t too bothered about that. There were volunteers outside the local sports centre to take one’s temperature and ask the standard questions. All via a one-way system into the centre.
These included an egg allergy or bad reactions to a previous shot.
You then sanitised your hands, held up the letter inviting you to have the shot. Then put the letter in a tray.
Finally you proferred the preferred shoulder and one of the two nurses present very quickly gave the jab. Then you left via the rear exit. All in all less than 5 minutes. Apparently my age group (51-69) are being called late this year because the 69+ group had a different strain of vaccine.
A friend of my mother’s by contrast who lives in Hertfordshire was made to queue up outside her GP surgery for 90 minutes in the pouring rain for her flu jab. No apology offered, needless to say.
Well mine was just as efficient, just that it was done on the steps outside the surgery and I wasn’t allowed to go inside….
I’m not really sure why people are having flu jabs when incidences of flu appear to have reduced by 97% this year?
Last year the flu vaccine was 17% effective.
The Government is very happy with the increase in the number of people that got the flu vaccine this year. They now say that people will just be as happy to get the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, the one that changes your DNA
. Last year the flu vaccine was 17% effective.
The Government is very happy with the increase in the number of people that got the flu vaccine this year. They now say that people will just be as happy to get the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, the one that changes your DNA
Because they’ve just stopped testing for it.
I had the flu shot for the first time last year, and I do think it aided my immune system in dealing with Covid-19 which I had in March. Felt generally grotty, scratchy throat, cough and loss of taste/smell for about 10 days. My mother, in one of the vulnerable groups, also had last year’s shot and was ill for one day (spent in bed) in March.
I had mine the other week, able to sit in waiting room. Minor correction the different vaccine is given to those over 65 or will be 65 before the end of March.
No freekin way am I having a flu jab. Never had one, NEVER will.
Here’s a fact –
Deaths of covid in public services*
Total staff -v- deaths
Councils 954423/34
NHS 910465/59
Police & fire services 153819/1
Universities 332761/6
*Data taken from over 671 FOI requests made to 25 sectors of government.
Full dataset @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lyo0Jrhf9xSr6LzzB-2A4KaSkW20QuFU/view
That is very interest. Can’t seem to open the dataset.
I am still constantly told thousands of nurses and doctors have died in the UK.
Indeed, specifically police and fire services who I assume have been working throughout.
I’ll double check the link. Data has been verified though.
I was told 600 NHS staff, by someone who works in the NHS.
Six hundred sounds like a nice round, neat number.
This has been touted as fact on LBC radio often.
“The 14 day isolation notice means she would have come into contact with someone on November 12 – the same day Boris Johnson met with MP Lee Anderson who later tested positive.
It’s not yet clear who Ms Harding has been in contact with who has tested positive.
But her husband, Tory MP John Penrose, was pinged to self isolate on November 9.
The news means it took Ms Harding five days to be ordered to isolate from the moment she had contact with a possibly infected person”.
5 days of wandering around? App is as much use as an inflatable dart board.
Thanks to Rob Tyson for transcribing Dr Craig’s interview. Invaluable stuff.
I do wonder if the vast majority of the compliant subservient public realise it is highly probably that they will be digitally marked in the near future.

“Noam Chomsky said, “Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.””
It ain’t rocket science, but it seems to be beyond most Labour Party apparatchiks, members, and supporters, and all their political correctness collaborators in other parties.
Not David Ferguson, evidently – magnificent letter.
I think if you asked a lot of people if they were in favour of free speech they would say definitely yes. If you then asked them (maybe on a different day so they didn’t smell a rat) if they thought a given example of some bit of speech likely to upset or offend them in some way should be allowed, a lot of those same people would say no. I don’t think a lot of people really understand the concept.
Yes, I think you are absolutely correct on that. And it applies to some surprisingly intelligent people as well.
It’s one of those principles that is fundamentally counter-intuitive for humans. We have to actually work to maintain it in our heads, and we have to work to apply it every time we encounter speech we find uncomfortable, to overcome the natural human urge to forbid.
I agree, any civil society should continually train the public that free speech means tolerating opinions that you do not agree with. However, with the advent of political correctness and hate speech the media/ establishment have trained the public to believe in censorship and repressing speech we don’t agree with.
Ironically, the same people in favour of hate speech will eventually encounter circumstances where their opinions are now hate speech. It may be too late until they understand the error of there ways.

Yes, old leftist feminists targeted by trans fanatics sit next to Labour apparatchiks accused of “antisemitism”, as people who are basically getting back a little of what they (in general, obviously, there might be some unfortunate exceptions who had not gone along with the pc ideological flow of the their movements) have dished out to “sexists” and “racists” and “homophobes” in the past few decades.
Schadenfreude is hard to avoid…
I think the same is probably true for democracy. Most people would say yes but deep down they want their side to win even if it involves stuffing a few ballot boxes – see the Labour party for details.
It is called cant. They know what the socially correct answer is and they assert it even though they are opposed to it. The big giveaway is: “I am of course in favour of free speech, but…” As soon as they utter the word “but”, it is obvious they are totally opposed to freedom of expression.

Re. the piece under:- “What Was That About Twice as Many Deaths, Sir Patrick?”
At least up to the 21st November mortality rates are going to be what they were going to be anyway as the lockdown can have no impact on them.
The figures will provide a good measure of how accurate were the forecasts presented on the 31st October. Those predictions that rushed us in to a lockdown.
Well now that a CRG has come in to existence in Parliament no doubt if there are good grounds for concluding the soothsayers should be put out of a job we will know!

I am simply flabbergasted that the government and MSM are continuing to get away with murder (literally). There is no justice high enough to punish them for what they have done.
Shame on all of us for not having strung them up already. Violence is never a solution, but in all honesty given the scale of their crimes they deserve the most bestial punishments imaginable.
What the Government is doing is violence. Children have killed themselves because of lockdown

At the end of the day you only have to go on https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/#map-of-z-scores to see what a scam this is. The flu season of 2017/18 shows the covid has no clothes..
It makes we wonder how we get out of this.
The actual data doesn’t support a lockdown. Only computer models of the future. The models have been debunked (see Sweden). What level of evidence will they require? The only people that believe Ferguson’s modelling are Ferguson, Ferguson’s Mum and SAGE.
And those computer models of the future have been repeatedly shown to be wrong by what actually happens. We are supposed to having four thousand COVID 19 deaths a day according only last month’s
predictionprojectioncomputer model generated make believe.and the 80,000 deaths for Sweden which turned out to be 3,300 excess deaths (this year so far). At what point do they say ‘models wrong different approach needed’? If cv19 settles down to be a seasonal virus like CV1-4 then we will be going through this pantomime every winter
Ive just emailed my MP to ask the performance indicators to get out of this lockdown. He will get back because he got back to every one of my other (numerous emails). He also promised me he was against lockdown2, 1 week before voting for it!
I’m hoping that the distribution of lateral flow tests to 67 regions of the U.K. will be the answer. If the same thing happens as happened in Liverpool, then the numbers of those testing positive will fall off a cliff within the next couple of weeks.
Will it matter if Government ignore the results, just as they have in Liverpool?
Figures are falsified,exaggerated or ignored If they don’t fit the narrative.lockdown has always been a political decision for nefarious ends.
This is not about a virus
I showed this to a lockdown lover and they pointed to the fact that in Northern Ireland the deaths are trending up towards the higher ranges. And expected that to be some kind of argument for panic.
I had to point out that on the very same graph there was a massive spike in 2018 and we were nowhere near that and what he was scared about was the normal seasonal rise in respiratory and viral related illnesses. Excruciating stuff.

Favourite question:
“So, what is the official figure for covid deaths in the UK?”
Another good one:
How many asymtomatic diseases have you had?
I honestly thought that the mask thing would fizzle out after a month as they are so uncomfortable and disgusting but no…. then I thought anything negatively hurting your children would do it but no…. I think powercuts meaning no telly might finally do it?
I think they wont go for straight power cuts but they will ration power via the smart meters to ‘save’ us from power cuts so you only have enough power to watch TV. Maybe if your sufficiently obedient a cup of tee or two may be permitted.
Power cuts means the Government’s propaganda stops
I sympathise – I’ve had this problem too, for a while now, because with the increase in the number of ‘positive tests’ the number of people who know someone who ‘has it’ also increases. Exponentially!
“I know a few people with it now”
The answer is “So what?”
Public health policy costing billions and destroying the country needs to be based on something more than that
Two hundred billion on taxpayer support to people to not work.
NICE has a formula for assessing how much money should be spent on saving lives. It is less than twenty thousand pounds for each year of perfect health.
How many QALYs would the government’s responses to the virus have to save to make even that two hundred billion a sensible use of public money on the NICE criterion? (I used the word even because the employment support expenditure is just one item in a long list.)
Have you noticed some swanning around in the Summer talking about how this was all just a storm in a tea cup. Maybe even talking about herd immunity. But seasonal viruses have a tendency to be, well, seasonal.
They’ve now retreated because they know someone whose had it and read about a family who had two members die with Covid.
Such people go whatever way the winds blow. I find them even more pathetic than the lockdown lovers to be honest. They are completely without any substance
Reply with:
What is a case?
If it’s so deadly why do people have to be tested to see if they have it or not?
If it’s so deadly why are people who test positive told to stay home?
What about politicians who have shares in vaccine manufacturers?

And here you have someone who looks and sounds like Bill Gates making a presentation to the CIA, where he discusses individuals with low levels of a V-MaT-2 gene as shown via PCR testing. Such low levels demonstrate someone who is non-fanatical, unlikely to be attracted to terrorism. Those who have the opposite characteristics demonstrate high levels of the gene.
He advocates immunising against the V-Mat-2 gene and reducing the population susceptibility to terrorist ideas in the middle east.

At this stage I am impressed that Boris can somehow slip further down in my estimations, but we now have the following comment reported:-
During a Zoom call with around 60 northern Conservative MPs on Monday evening, the prime minister described devolution as “Tony Blair’s biggest mistake”.
So I am presuming the Iraq war for faux WMDs which resulted in c.1.2M dead was second in Boris’s opinion or is even that high up? What a disgrace this man is.
So true.
And whom leaked this comment from the private meeting and why ? Another chatty rat or a controlled leak for distraction purposes ?
I disagree.Devolution will ultimately destroy the Union.
Blair didn’t cause the Iraq war.Remember the USA would have attacked anyway with or without us.
I agree both of them are a disgrace and 2 of the worst prime ministers in our history.
Agree the USA was entering regardless. However, he needlessly included us and is therefore complicit in the deaths. It is in my opinion without a doubt his greatest mistake.
I think the breakdown of the union pales in comparison.

This is from my online vaccination course, if anyone says that CoViD19 is worse than flu.
Influenza:
History
In the last 100 years, there have been four influenza pandemics:
1918 with c. 50 million deaths or more
1957 with about 2 million deaths
1968 with about 1-2 million deaths
2009 with about a quarter of a million deaths
The disease occurs mainly in the winter months, in both northern and southern hemispheres.
Some infected people do not have symptoms. Those with symptoms typically have a sudden onset of fever, malaise, sore throat, cough, headache and muscle pains.
Children may be hospitalised because the symptoms are similar to sepsis. Secondary bacterial pneumonia and convulsions are relatively common. Myocarditis and encephalitis may also occur.
Children and adults with underlying medical conditions are more likely to have severe complications and die from influenza, however, half of the children who die were previously well.
During flu pandemics, the elderly may be less likely to get ‘flu and mortality is relatively high in the fit and healthy.
Disease due to the C strain tends to be less severe.
Not only are pregnant women themselves at increased risk of mortality and morbidity if they catch ‘flu, but the baby is more likely to be born early and of low birth weight. Perinatal mortality is higher.
Vaccine programme
Influenza vaccine should be offered to all those aged 6 months or more in high risk groups, all those aged 65 years or older and healthy children in certain age groups.
At risk groups include:
Chronic respiratory disease
Chronic heart disease
Chronic kidney disease
Chronic liver disease
Chronic neurological disease
Learning disability
Diabetes
Splenic dysfunction or asplenia
A weakened immune system due to disease or treatment
Morbidly obese (defined as BMI of 40 and above)
All pregnant women
The vaccine is also indicated for:
People living in long-stay residential care homes or other long-stay facilities
Those who receive a carer’s allowance, or who are the main carer of an older or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if the carer falls ill
Health and social care staff in direct contact with patients who are at increased risk from flu
Residential contacts of those who are immunocompromised
Residential contacts of those on the NHS Shielded Patient list
This is for pertussis (whooping cough), note the symptoms for adults in the last paragraph
Also immunity is not life long.
Pertussis
Clinical features
First symptoms are indistinguishable from an upper respiratory infection. This stage may last up to 2 weeks.
The next stage is of bouts (paroxysms) of coughing. The paroxysms may end in an inspiratory whoop (see below). During this stage, babies may develop pneumonia, or have convulsions or intracranial haemorrhage and/or develop brain damage. These complications are more likely in young children and most deaths are in babies less than 6 months old. This stage usually lasts 2 weeks. Babies may not have paroxysms or the typical whoop.
Over the following weeks the paroxysms settle, but can be set off again by a viral upper respiratory tract infection.
Immunity following infection is not lifelong.
Pertussis was rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of cough in adults, but it is now known to be an important cause of cough lasting longer than 7 days. The lack of recognition was probably due to the fact that pertussis in adults often only manifests as a cough without the characteristic whoop.
Bear in mind too that the figures above for the various pandemics are not adjusted for population so earlier ones will actually be considerably higher when adjusted
Yes, when I worked it out the numbers from the ’57 and ’68 flu pandemics need to be roughly doubled, iirc, to account for pop increase.
Interesting to see the comment “some infected people do not have symptoms”. I had always understood that to be the case, one of the reasons why I do now have a flu jab so I reduce (yes, I know) the chances of passing it on to my parents.
Also interested by “during flu pandemics, the elderly may be less likely to get ‘flu and mortality is relatively high in the fit and healthy.” Why are the elderly less likely to get it? Is it because people naturally take greater precautions around older folk if they aware of a pandemic?
Half the human race has H-Pylori which causes stomach cancer. Perhaps the Covid Cabal should have seized on that opportunity instead
No doubt PYLORI-22 has already been gamed out.
I think it’s often because they’ve been exposed to a similar strain in the past and so have some immunity. That’s what seemed to happen with the 1957 strain – anyone who had Spanish flu and survived was thought to have cross immunity.
Influenza usually takes on average 600,000 lives every year. The 2009 Swine Flu took half of that
The 2018 flu outbreak overwhelmed hospitals, especially in the US
The World Health Organisation changed the definition of the word ‘pandemic’ in 2009 after pressure from Pharma companies. Why would they do that?
See Reiner Fuellmich
Follow the donations money that flow into the terrorist WHO.
Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Beware of those that are open to criticising the stupid govt plans for lockdowns and masks but are happy for coerced vaccinations of people.
I refer to Prof Karol Sikora regarding vaccinations being required for travel and work “if the immunity lasts”
This is how they get those who are against this all to accept “freedom passes”
Reject this notion!
No coerced vaccines. No lockdowns. No mandatory masks etc!
I am shocked if he really said that – it seems out of character for him
He is the pretend/tame sceptic of the Daily Express. Every single column that he writes is stuffed with pro-lockdown shite.
Agreed. I do not trust him. He is given a MSM platform for a reason. Likewise James Melville and others who have been anti-lockdown for months but who have suddenly endorsed the vaccines. How do they sleep at night?
Because you can be anti-lockdown but not anti-vaxx
And you can be against Covid vaccines by coercion or force and not be anti vax
I will resist as long as possible. I cannot foretell the future but I hope I have the strength.

Hospital Covid:
I’m due into hospital for carpal tunnel surgery next week. As reported by others, I’m required to have a Covid test a few days ahead and to self-isolate. This is for a 30-minute minor op under local anaesthetic – apparently I have to go through the upgraded pathway because the surgeon and theatre will be doing major hip replacements for the rest of the day and so lower level precautions are out.
Much as I dislike the idea, I’m having to go along with it as the carpal problem is driving me nuts and I want to get it done asap (it was scheduled originally for just after the start of Lockdown 1). Presumably the test will be PCR so I’m hoping I don’t come up as false positive and go to the back fo the queue again.
Needless to say, being a thorough-going sceptic, I am suffering from considerable cognitive dissonance over all these precautions for a largely invisible disease. But is part of the message that we’ve been too casual in the past about introducing flu etc into hospitals, or is it that we really are going over the top now? My feeling is the latter. And that another part of the message is that hospitals and our wonderful NHS ™ is not that good at infection prevention and control. Especially since they started using disposable plastic PPE some years back and assumed it’s a panacea.
PS: Fans of Holby City may be wondering like me if their mask discipline in last night’s episode is typical of the NHS – masks pulled up and down, dangling from the ears, under the chin etc. Traditionally the show has tried to be as realistic and true to life as possible, at least on the medical side. (The management and appointments system on the other hand is total fiction.)
Strange business nerve entrapment.. I say that as someone who has had nerve entrapment surgery (not on wrists) and also injections for carpal tunnel… in cadevers nerves are often squished, frayed, pinched.. follow torturous routes.. yet those people mostly never complained of nerve entrapment symptoms when they were alive. So do some feel nerve damage more or is something else going on? It’s likely to do with inflammation.. try some glycine powder… it’s sweet and cheap.. we are deficient in it.. the surgery I had elsewhere did seem to fix the issue.. but certain supps and gentle exercise and massage got rid of the carpal tunnel.
Good luck.
The PCR tests are the biggest actor in this crime against humanity
All you can do is express yourself. If you feel fine, but you test positive and your treatment is cancelled, blame the NHS and sue the PCR test manufacturers
I read that Portugal has scrapped the use of PCR tests. A brave move. No doubt the Covid Cabal will lean on Portugal
If this was about health then no NHS treatments would have been cancelled
Unfortunately, Portugal hasn’t scrapped the use of PCR tests yet. There was only a decision by an appeals court which concluded that PCR is unreliable and cannot be used to determine if someone is infected for the purpose of house arrest of the PCR-positive person and confinement of contacts. We are currently in a “state of emergency” with curfews and other idiotic restrictions because the hospitals ‘might’ become overwhelmed.
What a nightmare this is
To think that half the population believes their government is intensely depressing. Stupidity is pulling us all into the abyss
If you refuse point blank to be tested, can they refuse to treat you?
A transcription for anyone who wants it. We’re going to share it widely:
Dr. Roger Hodkinson, tells Government officials in Alberta’s Community and Public Services Committeethat this is the ‘Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated on an Unsuspecting Public (secretly recorded on 13 November).
I do appreciate the opportunity to address you on this very important matter. What I’m going to say is lay-language and blunt. It’s counter-narrative and so you don’t immediately think I’m a quack I’m going to briefly outline my credentials so that you can understand where I’m coming from in terms of knowledge-base in all this. I’m a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology. I trained at Cambridge University in the UK, I’m the ex-President of the pathology section of the Medical Association. I was previously an assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine, doing a lot of teaching. I was the chairman of the Royal of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee in Pathology in Ottowa. But more to the point, I am currently the Chairman of a bio-technology company in North Carolina selling the CV19 test. And you might say I know a little bit about all this.
The bottom line is simply this:
There is utterly unfounded public hysteria, driven by the media and politicians. It’s outrageous! This it the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus, other than protecting older and more vulnerable people. It should be thought of as nothing more than a bad flu season. This is not Ebola. It’s not SARS. It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game. There is no action of any kind needed other than what happened last year when we felt unwell. We stayed home, we ate chicken noodle soup, we didn’t visit Granny and *we* decided when we would return to work. We didn’t need anyone to tell us.
Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signalling. They’re not even worn effectively most of the time. It’s utterly ridiculous. Seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people – I’m not saying that in a pejorative sense – seeing these people walking around like lemmings obeying without any knowledge base to put the mask on their face.
Social-distancing is also useless because Covid is spread by aerosols which travel 30m or so before landing. And closures have such terrible unintended consequences. Everywhere should be open tomorrow as was stated in the Great Barrington Declaration which I circulated prior to this meeting.
And a word on testing: I do want to emphasise that, I’m in the business of testing for Covid. I do want to emphasise that positive test results DO NOT, underlined in neon, mean a clinical infection. It’s simply driving public hysteria and all testing should stop unless you’re presenting to hospital with some respiratory problem.
All that should be done is to protect the vulnerable and to give them all, in the nursing homes that are under your control, give them all 3-5000 iu of Vitamin D every day, which has been shown to radically reduce the likelihood of infection.
And I would remind you all, using the Province’s own statistics, the risk of death under 65 in this Province is 1 in 300,000 (he repeats this)*. You’ve got to get a grip on this, the scale of the response that you’re undertaking with no evidence for it is utterly ridiculous, given the consequences of acting in the way that you’re proposing. All kinds of suicides, business closures, funerals,weddings, etc, etc. It’s simply outrageous!
It’s just another bad flu! And you’ve got to get your minds around that. Let people make their own decisions. You should be totally out of the business of medicine. You’re being led down the garden path by the Chief Medical Officer of Health of this Province. I’m absolutely outraged that this has reached this level. It should all stop tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Thanks Simon. A cynic might say this is likely to be a fast-growing market! MW
It is now crystal clear that Hancock, Gove, Johnson, Whitty, Vallance and SAGE are not going to change direction, will not listen to alternative views and are impervious to criticism and ridicule. They are too far invested into their version of the Schlieffen Plan and cannot/will not admit they are wrong.
All of us here and sceptical journalists newspapers and scientists are wasting our time trying to convince these people to change course.
The only relevant question now is how can we can get Johnson, Hancock, Whitty and Vallance out of office. This is the only way this madness will end.
i don`t think the utterly useless Tory Party have any intention of winning any future elections.
Seems that way and it’s a mystery to me why Cummings thought lockdown immiseration is the way to the electorate’s heart. Presumably another example of Polling Induced State of Hypnosis.
You’re obviously right about any change in direction – it ain’t going to happen. When you look at the figures I’ve just posted, it is easy to see that the current situation is based on a total fiction and has departed any sense of a rationale. They’ve firmly decided to cross the Rubicon from stupidity to willful deception.
But, getting them out of office? The ‘opposition’ isn’t going to do it, and I bet the Tory rebels will buckle, too.
And I think many of the analysts know this now. Grpahs and commentary have utterly failed to make them change course.
To the streets it is.
Labour are worse, unfortunately
Now that Jeremy Corbyn has lost the labour whip and is an independent will he listen to his brother?
There is only one way and it requires the 70 Tories in the CRG, and possibly a few more on the fringe, to submit letters to the 1922 Committee to precipitate a leadership challenge. Is there a current and credible stalking horse? Yes, possibly in Mark Harper (he stood in the Tory leadership challenge that gave the country Doris).
Support populist parties committed to removing lockdowns and opposing globalism. Never again vote for the Lib-Lab-Con…or SNP for that matter (but they have found a way of successfully posing as populists while being in the globalists’ pocket!).
Our lives are being destroyed for Valance’s shares
A competent Captain steers the ship away from the rocks, not into them. This Government (?) has, I perceive foundered the ship it seems to me.
I don’t think we even have a captain, just a cheerleader for the autopilot.
That’s very good.
That’s sick!
I have to say, that the analysis (above) of the latest ONS mortality figures is far too easy on the government narrative :
“yesterday’s Covid death toll for the whole of the UK was 598″
We don’t really know about ‘Covid’ deaths. Never have, never will – the whole issue is mired in a fog of supposition and inexactitude.
What we do know is all-cause mortality – the only definitive measure available by which we can judge the severity of any infection.
I regularly update my database of ONS weekly figures, which run from 1993 and are corrected for population. So what is the current situation of all-cause mortality in that quarter-century context, given that – according to government and the Chuckle Brothers – we are seeing a massive rise towards Armageddon (or Christmas as it used to be known)?
The Facts : Up to Week 30, the 2019-2020 winter/spring season (including the April spike) ranked 8th in the run of years from 1993/94 – at the 75th centile, even if above the recent run of low mortality.
From Week 31 (i.e the beginning of August to the beginning of November) – the period of an allegedly ‘exponential’ rise in the effects of a horrendous disease, the year ranks 15th in comparison with the preceding quarter-century. The rate is close to the median and mean for the period. The return from an infectious outbreak to normality is plain.
Wow! That’s horrific – that decrease in relative severity, isn’t it!? Average mortality, for Chrissake! Batten down the hatches! Get out your gas masks! Cancel Christmas! Stay inside!
This is truly the biggest con to be perpetrated on society at large.
Brilliant post Rick….that was you at your best.
I feel bad for Stephen Lavin of course, but am I the only one who thinks it sounds like Glasgow RI have got it about right? Blanket testing of every patient for a disease of which they show no symptoms and poses them little to no risk seems like a complete waste of time and resources.
Covid is a nosocomial disease because that’s just it’s profile – any efforts we make to change that are futile in the long-run. And there’s no point in shaming the hospitals for this, especially because that just leads to them being petrified of admitting it (for example, a friend of mine who’s a new mother recently tried in vain to contact the maternity unit to warn them that she had caught covid there and the hospital just didn’t want to know and tried to convince her otherwise!)
Asking symptomatic staff to isolate makes the most sense – even if they test negative for covid then they still have the ‘flu or similar, so do we really want them back to work?! Staff levels and covid bureaucracy in the NHS at the moment are the leading factors in causing them to look as though they are “overwhelmed”. Perfectly healthy and able staff are having to isolate frequently – sometimes because they’re too scared(lazy), sometimes because someone’s child in their year group at school had a false positive test.
I really don’t want to see any patients being forced to wear face coverings, that are at least useless and potentially harmful. They don’t even make the actual covid patients wear them which should indicate precisely the need/desirability of this. In terms of infection control, if you’re in a hospital I advise you to put precisely nothing near your nose/mouth/eyes that’s not been sterilised, ever.
I think it’s absolutely revolting that the NHS are making covid tests compulsory and refusing treatment if you don’t want one. I certainly wouldn’t consent to be assaulted with a cotton swab unless it was actually to form part of my diagnosis. Not to mention the continual havoc being caused by all the false-positive PCR tests not giving a clear picture of who actually has it. I wonder if that’s partly why they no longer want to test the staff.
What’s next, a rabies test before you can have a mammogram? A TB test before you can see a physio? A leprosy test before you can have your tonsils out? Healthcare has gone bonkers. I saw it when I lived in Lambeth – I was constantly bullied at every opportunity by Healthcare workers to get a HIV test, despite having zero symptoms and zero risk factors! At one stage they wouldn’t even let you register for a GP without one. It may help to destigmatise the process for everyone but hardly a targeted use of valuable scarce resources.
At the same time, the NHS aren’t testing for actual simple life-saving things. For instance, strep-b is an infection that is potentially v dangerous for new babies. Approx 20-40% of women carry the bacteria and it is often passed on during childbirth. 1 in 1750 babies will develop an infection in the first week of life; of these 5% die and 7% are left with life changing disabilities. All Western countries routinely screen pregnant women so that they can decide if they want to take preventative measures or at least be vigilant. Our “beloved” NHS forces woman to pay for a private test or take a gamble. Yet they’re made to have an irrelevant covid test and cover their faces from their newborn babies in some bizarre ritual that helps no-one. Ok rant over.
To put in context, a baby dies every week in the UK for something that the NHS could easily test for.
Don’t think any have died from covid? Apart from the couple of poor little premature babies who were already very poorly.

the answer is 1 – non-covid related.
Excellent comments. The idiocy unleashed by Covid Logic is scary. How do we reign it in?
They just changed the label… From 460BC – 2019 PNEUMONIA worked just fine!
They always change the label of PNEUMONIA when they need to use a fake pandemic to keep their jobs, boost profits of the Pharma Complex or just test new tools.
In this case of OPERATION COVID those 3 main reasons are at play.
A. newborn. baby. cannot. see. its. mother’s. face.
The Devil is king and lord and emperor.
Not a comment, but I’d just like to say FUCK OFF Johnson.
Quite so – I keep thinking of that big imaginary button presented to the jury by Jack Lemmon in ‘How To Murder Your Wife’!
Or the trial scene in The Producers…
“Foreman of the jury, what is your verdict? ”
“Incredibly guilty!”
“Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available, …..”
“Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms.

And best of all, ultimately we have done all this to ourselves, and will be paying the full price for our wilful neglect and ignorance for the rest of our lives.
This is only right and proper. We are continuously guilty of apportioning blame for all our problems to others, when all along the problem has been within each of us, individually. The same thinking needs to be applied to the solutions.
“it’s been the liberal left that has embraced the Covid narrative – and what it regards as the necessary suspension of our liberties – most enthusiastically.”
Yep, absolutely.
(Which is also why the CRG’s efforts are futile.)
And I would include the centre left and right into that group as well.
Which makes it so shocking and appalling to me, a former member of those tribes.
They were betraying and have now absconded their own core values.
And that’s the case everywhere.
Liberal Democracy is officially being abolished and turned into a fake democracy where all power lies with the executive in Germany today.
Agree with a lot of this but why are the CRG’s efforts futile? They would be appealing to people of all political persuasions who want to get back to normal and stop destroying the country. We may or may not be in a majority yet, but I am convinced we are more than just a small percentage now.
Yes I am a former member of that group too and its very disappointing. Is it them that has changed or me or both?
I have a genuine question. It may be born out of ignorance but here goes. IF the whole country was vaccinated, i.e. injected with the virus, wouldn’t moonshot testing of everyone yield a positive result for everyone? If that is true then why do you need moonshot testing if there is a vaccine?
The risk of dying with the coronavirus is exactly the same as the risk of dying minus the virus. The virus has had zero effect on mortality.
Because conveniently, the vaccine won’t prevent illness in everyone, or stop us transmitting our deadly germs, therefore we will need “measures” forever.
I thought I’d buy a copy of Schwab’s book on the Great Reset to see what they have in store for us. This is right there in the introduction:
That is key to all of this. The vast majority of the public think they’re getting their old lives back when this “blows over”. They won’t unless they do something about it. How can we get that message to people?
I do admire folk that waste no time in getting to the punchline.
No messing about. This is your future whether you like it or not (you probably won’t).
@leggy the times people say to me “2021 can’t be worse than 2020”, and I try to explain to them it could probably be a lot worse I’m just met with a pitying look.
Its because people believe that silly old song…..things can only get better.
You could say that about any point in time. Normality is a relative term.
People will embrace every turn towards dystopia as “just one more thing”. Until its too late, see Lord Sumption.
The battle line is your individual freedom and identity. Do not compromise on that at all.
just as the jews unfortunately had to accept “just one more thing” …
This one man is dictating how we should live. How did that happen?
‘Build Back Better’ – Better for who?
‘The Great Reset’ – Great for who?

I have often felt like an alien and not at all part of society. Now I am sure this is the case.
Listening to BBC R4 a bit more just now. (My daily 10 minute blast)
The world they live in is totally different to the one I live in. The covid fairy tale is 100% real to them. They believe everything with absolutely no understanding of anything outside the official narrative.
However they all have the official narrative firmly in their grasp. They know all about it, so not stupid. I have listened to a number of branch covidians get to grips with the insanities of support bubbles and restrictions and use all the buzz-words with aplom. So well done them! They are obviously cleverer than me as I just cannot understand the rules on any level.
Their guests, the other reporters all of them just living the covid life in their covid bubbles.
It really is quite shocking to have this confirmed. Perhaps I am shocked because I hardly ever listen to their bullshit and when I hear it it reminds me of how far “we” have come. Incredible.
I have been left behind. Societal exclusion confirmed.
I have often felt like, but society is complex and not (thankfully) represented solely by BBC R4. There are more sane people out there than sometimes appears to be the case.
Plenty of people wearing masks etc are screaming inside.. knowing something is wrong.
Very good points. But these are mostly pretty intelligent people. Just as they know there has been widespread corruption in the US elections, but refuse to report on it (because it disrupts the narrative) might they not be fully aware of all the contradictions in the official lockdown narrative but be deliberately avoiding exposing those to any really serious scrutiny.
This is the BBC, for Christ sake, what did you expect? Stop getting disillusioned based on what mass media tells you.
@Two-Six, glad I’m not the only one!
Do you think a lot of us here are ‘misfits’ in some way or other? I have often said through the years that I don’t really fit in with any particular group – certainly never did at school. I can’t think when I have ever not felt alone, even when with a group or crowd of so-called friends (who I now find I have nothing in common with at all).
Very much agree…I was a bit of an outcast at school too…maybe we are all misfits on here. I have come to feel I have more in common with animals than people.
R4 is a very very middle class enclave. I doubt if many working class people are ordering their lives in the same way. I grew up on a council estate and am now an academic. What this has taught me is that my outlook is much more in line with the types of people I grew up with than my erstwhile colleagues who do indeed behave in the R4 manner. To me all the stuff about bubbles etc is pure nonsense and I find it hard to take it seriously or believe that anyone else can. But they do…..I am utterly alienated from it and them.
This occurred to me because of a comment by ConstantBees below, about reading Thomas Frank’s fascinating book The People, No. I linked an interview by Frank, but he also says this in the course of the interview, which I think is hugely relevant to the coronapanic situation today. He was talking about the previous disaster of elite, technocratic rule, the Vietnam War era of “the best and the brightest”. What he says could apply directly to the current coronapanic:
Thomas Frank on Anti-Populism’s Surprising History
“It’s so wrong, and also just shattered by reality. I mean within ten years. The Vietnam war is their great monument. They were going to run this war with a computer. Remember Robert McNamara sitting there in the Pentagon…running the Vietnam war with the Univac computer, and it’s a catastrophe. This vision of a technocracy, of a society run by these professional elites who are supposedly disinterested but in reality turn out never to be. They always act in their own class interest, always. It fails and fails and fails and fails. And it fails right up to the present day. We’re living through one of these … the coronavirus is this catastrophic failure of that system.”
Frank, as far as I’m aware, is a panicker – he makes the same mistake characteristic of the political left of assuming the error is not panicking soon, hard and efficiently enough. (Happy to be shown to be wrong on this.) But his point nevertheless stands. For the Vietnam era “best and brightest”, we have SAGE and their apologists and propagandists. For the univacs, we have modelling nonsense. And for the murderous catastrophe of war we have the medical, social and economic devastation that is lockdown.
And the resulting elite-driven technocratic disaster is every bit as bad, if not more so, as the Vietnam war.
Yes, among the many things enabling this shambles is technocracy run riot. Recent conversations I have had with a minor technocrat confirm this tendency to blindness.
Definitely. And so much of what we are seeing now is straight from Vietnam era US.
Dissent silenced as “irresponsible”. Today, promoting noncompliance with precautions or not “taking it seriously”, then, anti-patriotic or pro-Communist. Protests forcefully crushed.
Censorship and secrecy hampering honest discussion. Experts giving blind faith to computers/models and keeping vital information secret. Lies used to maintain support. Systems proved wrong time after time, but still relied upon. Problems and failed predictions brushed under the carpet with insistence that “in just a few weeks, you’ll see”..
Definitely a case of failing to learn from history.
Nope..nothing even close. During the Vietnam war there were world wide protests against the war.They say that at one point 9 million people demonstrated against in in the US on one day.. We have nothing alike..The boot has been on our throats’ for months now and we are not doing anything about it. The compliance is almost total.
US involvement in the Vietnam war started to ramp up in the early 1960s under Kennedy. Mass protests didn’t really get going for a long time after that. The fact that the scale of later protests against the Vietnam was much greater is not relevant to the point made here.
Though I’m pretty confident that if lockdowns are still going in ten years we will be seeing protests that make the Vietnam ones look ordinary.
Yep, definitely some parallels there especially since the government has been using the metaphor of war to describe its approach to the virus! Just as those billions spent on bombs and napalm could have been better spent on direct uplift of South Vietnamese peasants, so the hundreds of billions spent on furlough, test and trace, and vaccine development could have much better been spent on public health advice, specialist help for those feeling the need to shield, hospital & care home infection control and free distribution of Vitamin C and D.
Yes, they could have bought Vietnam a new economy, just as we could have given all the “vulnerable” a Rolls Royce shielding holiday, for a fraction of the cost.
Yes I think it’s a good point when arguing with lockdown advocates to get them to consider how else the money could have been spent and whether it might have provided better results
Opportunity cost is often a surprise to people, rather surprisingly.
It is indeed surprising. If God were to give me another life, I should like to come back and design some courses for schools that taught some basic skills needed for making sense of the world we live in and for evaluating the behaviour of politicians and others – basic stats, economics, etc.
Running the Vietnam war by computer meant introducing Targets hence body counts which led US troops to commit atrocities against prisoners and civilians in order to bump up the numbers in accordance with the plan (ie model).
The effects of the ‘caring’ ‘green’ developed world’s idiocy are a great deal more destructive than the Vietnam War:
‘UNDESA estimated that over 34 million people will be pushed into extreme poverty this year alone. This is already very much on the optimistic end of forecasts—the World Bank now predicts that between 71 million and 100 million people will be pushed into extreme poverty this year, erasing almost all progress made in the last five years in the fight against extreme poverty. UNICEF and Save the Children warn that the pandemic could push 86 million children into poverty, an increase of 15 per cent relative to the baseline.’

The controversial study of whether it protects against coronavirus wearing a mask will be published at 3 pm today, Rigshospitalet informs.
Is this the long-term Danish study that has thus far not been able to get peer-reviewed?
I think so as the Tweet he was retweeting looked like it was in Danish
Please let it bring a tsunami of scepticism from the sheeple. If I was religious I would either be praying or offering my soul.
I’m praying! Have been for ages.
The problem is MSM will either just ignore it or weasely ridicule. Even though the supposed pro-mask proof was a promptly retracted, non-reviewed hamster observation.
Sheeple response “yeah, buts that’s only Denmark innit’.
Yes, people breathe differently in Denmark didn’t you know, they are much more considerate breathers so they don’t need masks.
If it was pro-mask it would be shouted from the rooftops.
If there is any downside to this for sceptics it will be this:
“While the effectiveness of masks could not be demonstrated, and some harms have been identified, the recommendation to wear them in certain settings at certain times with strict protocols around use and disposal can be justified”
All studies recently seem to err on this side when it comes to masks.
That’s what I’m expecting. In fact I think they will probably have been forced to put something like that in there so that “public confidence in health policies is not undermined”.
39 minutes to go.
‘People from different households won’t be allowed to mix in indoor spaces from December 3rd-24th, at which point the rule will be relaxed for five days … ‘
Amazing: government can predict a viral hiatus of five days over Christmas. From festering to festive at the stroke of midnight on 24/25 December, and then back again five days later.
I did not know the government had made such an announcement.
Heavily leaked in the press to gauge reaction as per normal.
When the corporate media come up with stories based on anonymous sources, they are engaging in propaganda.
LOL. More Alice in Wonderland nonsense from the government. The virus will shut down for 5 days over Christmas. Lockdown 2 rules being ignored by more and more.
Covid has agreed to a Christmas truce.
If that is the case families will ‘not be allowed ‘ to gather until the stroke of midnight going into Xmas day.
Good luck with that bozo.
They are disgusting the way they “float” things like this. It should be illegal and subject to a 10k fine.
I will be staying with my parents for at least a week no matter what they say. Why will I infect them if I stay for 10 days, but not for 5?
Imagine the traffic chaos that will ensue, with everyone trying to get where they are going and back again on the same days. Have they thought about that? Of course not.
And then they will blame us for the ensuing “spike” in cases and lock us down again until March.

Doesn’t look that scary to me. I’d be more worried about the ~500 (false PCR?) covid related staff absences.
That doesn’t seem to make sense – if we look at the patients against source of – nearly all the patients seem to be inpatient diagnoses but nearly all the ‘infections’ are community acquired.
Seconded/former BBC operatives showing again.
Surely this is the third wave – I thought Leicester had its “second wave” in the summer, hence the need to be in a local lockdown since July.
What’s this – not a Health Passport, surely (Telegraph paywall):
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/11/17/people-have-covid-vaccine-could-get-qr-codes-allowing-access/
Members of the public who receive the coronavirus vaccine could be issued with QR codes on their mobile phones to allow them entry to large cultural and sporting events under proposals floated by ministers.
While Downing Street has insisted it has no plans to pursue compulsory vaccination, several Government sources believe people who are inoculated should be issued with a form of immunity certification. This would potentially enable them to attend football matches and other large gatherings that are currently deemed high-risk.
The article attracted the usual high volume of negative comments. I particularly like this one:
Hitler would have loved QR codes
“Hitler would have loved QR codes”
Indeed, the yellow star and pink triangle of the 2020s.
One of IBMs first major projects was providing the nazi regime with punch card technology to keep track of people.
At the time it was considered cutting edge.
yep, hence the infamous tattoos the prisoners got on their wrists.
So, if I understand this correctly, an individual is injected with the vaccine and then can have access to activities where there are many people in close prolonged contact. Does anyone in the elite know anything?
A vaccine (assuming it is effective) confers immunity on the vaccinated individual. It does this not by stopping the infectious agent from going anywhere near them. It does it by having enabled their immune system to recognise the agent and have developed defences against it. A vaccinated individual is perfectly capable of coming into contact with the infectious agent and passing it on to others. For example, they could touch a contaminated surface and pick it up and then touch another surface and leave it. They could breathe it in and subsequently exhale it.
Vaccination does not stop an individual from being a vector. It makes the individual immune, and it only does that if it is effective, which they aren’t even pretending the vaccines will be.
One might almost think this is all theatre.
BBC R2 News 13.00 Weds.
The Beano is producing a CoronoChristmas edition.
Dennis the Menace and the Bash Street Kids will be joined by Greta, Captain Tom and Marcus Rashford (sp?) foiling a plot to steal Xmas presents by Boris and his sidekick Dom.
Sounds like a barrel of laughs.
I’d rather Dennis went back to bashing Walter the swot and setting Gnasher onto Lord Snooty.
I was always a Dandy reader. Desperate Dan would not stand for this I don’t think.
I feel bad for him. He wanted to make a good natured gesture but became a massively exploited propaganda figure.
I hope Captain Tom doesn’t die of covid.
They will put him a statue of him at Trafalgar square gripping his walking frame with grim determination as he eyes up the end of his garden with the steely glare of an old soldier on the final push going over the top.
We will have a special tribute to the covid dead every April fools day for the next 100 years.
He served in India. Surely with the colonial history linked to India, the statue would be pulled down by BLM?

Call for evidence
UK Parliament 2020
Constitutional implications of COVID-19: Emergency powers
May have been posted already but here it is again
Deadline midnight tonight
https://committees.parliament.uk/call-for-evidence/258/constitutional-implications-of-covid19/?fbclid=IwAR1KieLPIqDcOt4W89bRCnrPWwm_IDXAaZc-6rhAatzfeilIoKXIYnvQurs
I recommend that people submit their opinions to this committee.
I did it yesterday and it’s straightforward: just create a document (Word, ODF, or RTF) and upload it via the page.
You can ask for your submission to be made anonymous when published, although they do not guarantee that your wishes will be respected.
Make yourself heard!
This is going to be interesting.
Not sure they will listen to any evidence that goes against the current plan. Whitewash??
Should be an independent inquiry.
However we cannot give up
The people working in the coronavirus testing centres are (if we are to believe the official narrative, which I am doing for the purpose of this comment) constantly coming into contact with people who are infected with the virus, and seventy percent of the transmission is asymptomatic, as Boris Johnson told the House. Under these circumstances, surely these workers would be constantly self isolating, and thus the centres would constantly having to close as a result of staff shortages, and when they reopened, they would be closing again within days.
Is there any published data on testing centre staff absences?
I’ve met a testing station security guard who is mask exempt and local Live reported a week ago about a station in Torbay where Mr Angry was complaining that none of the staff wore masks or gloves.
‘They could have given me the Covid through the window’
The staff explained that they wanted to present a cheerful face at this stressful time.
They must be exempt from it since they are testing infected people every day, and therefore would have to self isolate for 2 weeks every time they did a day’s work (although I admit that the govt are mad enough to consider that a good idea). They’re probably considered “safe” because of all that PPE.
The PPE that does not prevent the transmission of viruses – that PPE?
Ah yes but their PPE is probably special. They wear aprons and everything.
Hmm? So do masons. Has anybody checked if they’re immune?
Tsk tsk. You’ve used facts, reason and logic, thus causing a great disturbance in The
ForceNarrative. Off to the gulag with you!If we ever get out of this, I think my PTSD nightmares will take the form of me screaming the truth at the top of my lungs to a crowd of people as far as the horizon – like a Queen concert – and none of them can hear me.
Don’t worry…we are never getting out of this.
This reset is destined to fail.. it’s just a case of when.
How? They’re making good progress so far.
I don’t agree – where is the progress?
Like all central planners who think they can control people – they will fail,
We have millions of people on the Internet deconstructing the narrative in real time.
You don’t think we here are the only ones, do you?
Agreed. The tipping point has been reached.
What makes you think that?
Agreed, they are making no progress apart from the fact that many aren’t switched on to it yet as they are hidden behind the Covid veil. They are few, we are many.
Unfortunately there are also millions perpetuating it and many still buying it.
Oh yes we are!!!!
The narrative crumbles a bit more every day.
Every day more people see hrough the nonsense.
You just wait till Aprilwhen the weather warms up.
The narrative might be crumbling but is it fast enough? If the “vaccine” is deployed and taken by then it’s game over.
It will take ages to deploy the vaccine.
The only inevitable reset is the financial one, which will destroy their power.
All of this Davos stuff is just piss and wind.
They understand neither us nor the world.
I wouldn’t trust Wancock to deliver a leaflet let alone a vaccine that needs to be stored at -80.
Haha, too true!
He’ll just be fronting it, a few months ago they said the army will be doing it.
Boris will be gone by April.
Maybe he’s exited the stage now, with this fake ‘isolating’ baloney!
I agree but don’t see how Squishi would be any better.
Squishi – hehehe
Methinks it will happen before then
Thanks.
The crushing low will make the high ever more sweeter. I advise reading a bit of Jordan Petersons 12 Rules. You are a giant.
I know – that’ll be all the cake

I took a look at my local hospital data on this website. On November 2nd, it had 82 adult critical care beds of which 50 were occupied. The following day and for the rest of that week, it says 40 beds were available and 40 were occupied.
I’m puzzled. Where did the beds disappear to on November 3rd?
What am I missing?
Surely they don’t want to make it appear that ICU is at 100% occupancy?
Sometimes they designate other beds in the hospital as critical care, for surge capacity, which can be turned on and off. It could be something to do with that, or more likely just incompetence I would guess.
It’s the same here in Northern Ireland. Number of beds go up and down like a yoyo. At one one point a hospital manager locally was complaining of capacity ICU levels being reached and in the same breath, to save herself from being accused of bad management, she said they could of course double capacity if required.

Dr. Roger Hodkinson, Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons committee in Ottawa, CEO of a large private medical laboratory in Edmonton, Alberta and Chairman of a Medical Biotechnology company :
“There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians. This is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspected public. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus. This is nothing more than a bad flu season. It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game.
There is no action needed….Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence whatsoever they are even effective. It is utterly ridiculous seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people walking around like lemmings obeying without any evidence. Social distancing is also useless…..
Positive testing results do NOT indicate clinical infection. It is simply driving public hysteria and ALL testing should STOP immediately….using the province’s own statistics the risk of death under 65 is 1 in 300,000. The scale of the response is utterly ridiculous…all kinds of business closures, suicides …. you’re being led down the garden path.”
Hi Sue, this is in the main update ATL. It is a brilliant statement and I have shared far and wide.
aahhhh guess who didn’t read the articles above… moi
thanks – sorry for repetition
Full transcript here.
Well said Dr. Roger Hodkinson
Hahahaha…great situation we are all in hey? Build, back, better!
It’s of no consequence to me, lockdown is over here.
tell that to the businesses that are being forced to close and may never reopen
Lockdown won’t be over until I can stand at a bar, with my dogs at my feet, no Perspex in front of me and no mask on, talking good, old fashioned pub bollocks. Until such time as we return to such a state of affairs this isn’t over.
I just saw an insane woman remonstrating with a security guard at Waitrose, demanding that he go and eject a teenager who wasn’t wearing a mask.
Great job Boris you freak.
Crazy evil bitch.
Nah, just Snowblinded.
Yup 80 years ago she would have shoving my relatives into gas chambers, sadly creatures like this exist in every society
I sense this reset will come crashing to a halt… Boris has become too unpopular and Dominic has played a brilliant move by revealing secrets about Carrie texting policy ideas.. and the name Princess Nut Nut.. Carrie must be seething about that name. She was angry when the media said she didn’t love her dog.
Boris has revealed his Greta Green daft ideas. It’s the beginning of the end now.
We can live in hope, but governments are not in charge of ‘Great Resets’ – being nothing more than mouthpieces, with scripts to read. Was ever thus. Govts come and go, but the evil cabal behind all this has been in place for as long as there have been ‘Governments’.
This ‘Carrie nut nut’ business is nothing more than distraction.
She’s a soldier of the reset. But the cabal has over-extended this time.. not a chance this reset could work.
I pray you’re right!
I agree. This was being put in place decades ago.
All governments are under occupation by the WEF

“Cllr Lynne Doherty, Leader of West Berkshire Council (Con), has been providing an update on our response to Covid-19 and answering your questions”.
This question was submitted by Mrs Two-Six
7:44
“What steps are West Berkshire Council taking together with local businesses to ensure that information on legal exemptions
from face mask wearing is clearly displayed at premises and communicated to the public to safe guard those who are
exempt. Those that are exempt should be able to go about their business freely and without fear of verbal attack or shaming
from those who are not informed and not aware about the legal exemptions.”
Her answer
“In answer to that question. There is actually no legal requirement to display the face mask covering exemptions in retailers.
Some retailers, for example, I know Sainsburies do it, put a tannoy announcement out asking people to respect that fact
some customers and colleges can’t wear face coverings. So I think its quite important that um we recognise there is no that
legal requirement to do so but there are thing that retailers can do so that people are considerate to those that are legally
exempt from wearing face masks.”
So it’s official, you can go to Sainsburies if you don’t want to be attacked by a face mask zombie for not wearing a face nappy and its nothing to do with us. We won’t do anything to help stop you getting attacked and abused for not wearing one anywhere else either. So sod ya. wear your mask or get attacked and abused and its not our problem, its official.
Shocking. Have to make sure she never gets elected again
I wrote IDIOTS on my ballot paper in the last scam election.
She’s an idiot. Hates that Christmas is being cancelled and has to direct her anger at the publically accepted scapegoat, the maskless
This was my question, (hat tip to AG) it is clear that she didn’t read out the question but paraphrased it and didn’t answer any of the questions at all.
However she/THE COUNCIL obviously shit a brick. She read the answer from a script, North Korea style. Her script would have come from the West Berkshire Legal Department I would imagine.
Dear Lynne Doherty,
I have a few questions regarding the PCR test.
Please can you of the panel address some or all of these questions.
I am aware of a Freedom of Information Request reply from The Department of Health and Social Care (Reference FOI-1240596) it stated that a positive PCR test means nothing medically.
The actual quote: “SARS-CoV-2 RNA means the RNA is present in that sample at that point in time. It does not mean that the patient has the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).”
It also linked to a document that in conclusion stated that the PCR tests being used are unreliable, had high false positive rates, could not be verified against an actual confirmed case of covid-19 and had not been verified in a medical or hospital setting.
PCR tests are also, as admitted by their inventors, not a diagnostic tool nor a quantitative test and should not be used as such in any circumstances.
My questions:
1 – based on the above statements how can a positive PCR tests be termed as a “case” medically?
2 – based on the above statements how can positive PCR tests be used as a justification for local lockdowns and other general restrictions?
3 – based on the above statements how can positive PCR tests be used as a justification for enforced self-isolation of individuals tested “positive”?
4 – based on the above statements how can positive PCR tests be used as a justification for enforced self-isolation of those who have been in “close contact” with an individual who tested “positive”?
5 – based on the above statements how can positive PCR tests be used as a justification for closing down or fining a business when customers have been tested “positive”?
I have serious concerns over its accuracy and more importantly whether is has any validity at all.
In my humble opinion, all testing of “asymptomatic” people should be stopped immediately.
The PCR test is just too inaccurate and unreliable to be used to impose huge life changing and harshly enforced impositions on people’s lives, lively hoods, their education, their employment and their liberty. Especially as there is no secondary test available to validate the first test result. In any other area of life this is not the case. For example with a drug driving test, there will be a secondary test to confirm the first test, it is the same with the road-side breath test.
Furthermore, at least, the number of cycles used in the current PCR testing should be greatly reduced from 35-45 cycles to no more than 15-20 and a positive case should only be confirmed with the clear presence of symptoms. The cycle rate of the test should be clearly disclosed as well so as to provide clarity over the testing regime.
Finally please can the panel point me and the viewers to any evidence that is peer reviews that clearly demonstrates clearly that there has been a case of an “Asymptomatic” person “transmitting” the SARS2Cov virus to another person?
I am not aware of any such research that properly stands up under any kind of scrutiny if there is any at all.
Yours Sincerely
Two-Six
Her answer:
11:17
The next question that I have had in um is with regards to um the standard of covid 19 testing um and trying to ask what standards are being applied um to covid 19 testing, ummm errr the department of health and social care are responsible for setting the standards of testing um we recognise that there is probably, well there is no test the is 100% accurate. However the “polymeress chain reaction” or the PCR as I have frequently heard this refereed to, swab tests, have been deployed in most countries across the world and is the method currently advised by the department of health and social care to determine if an individual has covid 19. The council continues to follow government guidance and legislation with respect to testing and enforcement. So I hope that addresses those questions that were pre-submitted
“That big boy over there told me to do it!”
Um no it bloody doesn’t! They need to be sued now for wrongful imprisonment, murder, torture and anything else we can find in the Nuremberg Code.
Wonder how Ms Dorries is getting on with the copy that Captain Beefheart had shipped to her yesterday.
Well done Mr 2-6 – brilliant question!
No test is accurate and other countries are doing it so.
Send her the Portuguese Court ruling. Tell her other countries are also recognising the flaws of these tests and the abuses of human rights that emerge when used to justify locking down healthy individuals.
She comes across as an idiot. Although I wrote an almost identical email to my local politicians.
Still hard to believe people think all ‘cases’ in the news are deadly sick/contagious killers (okay, sorry, not hard to believe given the constant casedemic fearmongering).
I see you posted Ct cutoff range of 20, whereas Henegan/CEBM shows tests for up to 30:
https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/infectious-positive-pcr-test-result-covid-19/
Splitting hairs – I’ve seen it elsewhere or heard it referred to – the accuracy drops off fast at CT of 25 and above. ALL jurisdictions have been using >35 to >40 from what I’ve seen (if they even report it). Anyone have any link to ‘accuracy vs CT threshold’?
Not that it will be shocking to the masses – almost no one I mentioned this to has any concept of ‘signal to noise’. I read that if tests cut off at or below 30, up to 90% of all ‘cases’ would be negative.
I am in BC (western Canada), and we just went through another round of healthy people testing positive at schools and people freaked out. I know when the media freak outs are coming – usually 1 to 2 weeks after the exact same media freak outs happen in Europe – like clockwork. And with the same wording/script. Our Health expert spent a major portion of the recent daily update detailing how a ‘selfish’ family and teen infected their granny and she died (spin on ‘don’t kill your gran’).
But if all governments are scaring their citizens in unison it really must be for our own good.
Here’s a challenge for someone with proper scientific skills, unlike me. What are the excess death figures in the UK if we go back to September 2019?
There won’t be any by the end of the year (except suicide and those caused by NHS neglect).
Virtually all the Covid deaths would have died sometime this year anyway.
This was widely predicted as far back as early June from looking at ONS figures.
It was predicted by Neil Ferguson in April. I say predicted, he actually conceded that most of the deaths in his model of doom where people who would have died within 12 months.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.
The death spike in March and April was artificially created by the government shipping C19+ patients from hospitals into care homes. It created the desired results; daily death tolls.
What we’ve learned since is that around 80% of those deaths were, in fact, in care homes, hence the average age of CV19 deaths being around 82 years.
Of course, the narrative and resultant ideology is set; death from CV19. “Look at the death toll! Wear a mask, do as you’re told.”
The data is all available here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales
The question is, what do you mean by “excess”? It’s not really an absolute term – you need to qualify it by saying what your baseline is – for example a 5-year average, or longer, and also compare totals to other totals in the last few decades, to understand if we are looking at something exceptional (clue: we’re not)
64,396 over 5 year average
here is the last 10 years of weekly mortality vs 5 year average
just for interest
forget last 5 years average
below is a moving box car average (21 month) of the all cause mortality for the last 10 years
‘pandemic’ looks like a couple of winters came at once. not worth destroying society for
Actually, the above the five yearly average deaths all happened after the imposition of lockdown.
“Just think how much higher it would have been without a lockdown”
Care Home debacle, deaths at home, lockdown related deaths, and Covid all contributors.
Counties like Germany who have protected care homes better didn’t get that kind of spike
The risk of dying with the coronavirus is the same as the risk of dying if the coronavirus did not exist. It has had zero effect on mortality.
Does anyone else find themselves haunted by that scary clip of Uncle Bill gleefully assuring us that we won’t miss the next one?
I got the ghastly notion that the imminent vaccine is really against the plotted next virus. All the willing sheeple will be immune and “They” will bump off all those capable of independent and rational thought …..
It’s a bit early in the day for alcoholic assistance. Do you think chocolate will work?
If anything the vaccine will either contain or interact with the next virus with fatal results.
I don’t think they’re that clever. We are overtaking them on the IQ scale
It’s the selective aspect that worries me.
At 67 I’m no doubt in the dispensable demographic.
Chocolate is good for you
I know. It’s part of my
54 a day.My only other vegetable-based items are tea, coffee and fermented red grape juice.
Yes. Part of the essential 5 a day thingy. I take mine 85%, for a direct serotonin hit.
Yes I usually have the 85%.
we’re f****d anyway so you may as well eat and drink everything you desire – got to have some pleasures in life and there sure as hell ain’t anything else to do…
Quite. They’ve left us with nothing else. Forget covid – the NHS will be overwhelmed with depressed, fat alcoholics soon enough, and I will probably be one of them.
I think Melinda smirking was more chilling.The pillow talk in that house must be fun.
Chocolate, biscuits and coffee is what I reach for while it’s too early to drink.
Never mind chocolate I’d go straight for the alcohol.
Boris Johnson takes two weeks off to shag his missus whilst our country burns. What the actual f?
Actually that might be factually incorrect, he’ll be the one bending over…
Nero. Rome. Burning…
Arnie.
Nero widdles while Rome burns.
Cant see him shagging her for 2 weeks at his age lol….2 minutes more likely!
Not that anyone should trust the pharmaceutical companies anyway but Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre will probably make it clear just how much cheating and manipulation of trial results goes on to get drugs through, and that was when they still had to follow the proper protocols…
Ben Goldacre who sits on SAGE?
Don’t know, but probably. Obviously don’t know what his input would be but then we don’t know anything about their process, who leads, how consensus is achieved, etc. All done behind darkened windows.

FYI, this video was shared in the blog post you’re commenting on.
Thank you.
Surely Graham Brady and other senior tories are reading comments in suposedly tory papers such as The Telegraph and Mail? Most comments are anti-Boris. Some mention the great reset. The few that are positive are possibly 77 brigade or similar. He has lost virtually all of his support. He is the most hated leader in my lifetime.
I sense the slow process of deposition of Princess Nut Nut and Prince Wiff Waff is coming.
And they MUST know about 77th. My MP certainly should – they’re based in her area.
I have explicitly told her about them twice
Think I might too then
https://www.ukcolumn.org/article/british-military-information-war-waged-their-own-population
Given that one of them is a reservist member of said brigade…..
Please let it not be slow…..
after Brexit free trade deal next week Boris will be off-for him that will be his legacy, for us it will be something different
But even if Boris goes, who will take over? Most likely Gove, and he’s one of the worst of the lot.
I don’t think Gove will ever be leader, he is a dreadful, oily tick and completely unelectable. It will be Raab or Sunak. But neither will want the gig until the virus has completely disappeared which will happen in the spring.
Why do you think it would have disappeared by then?

Here follows part 1 of a reply from my MP. I don’t know which of my several contacts she is replying to because it does not specifically answer any of my points and is clearly a cut and paste. There are many factual inaccuracies used to justify the government action and I may decide to respond if I have the energy but really these people are impervious: –
Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding the new national measures in the ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic. Whilst I note your comments, I will continue to support this Government’s efforts to defeat the virus .As a strong supporter of freedom, liberty and enterprise I can assure you that the decisions that havebeen made by the Government have not been taken lightly.As your local Member of Parliament and as a member of the Government I do not want to see restrictions on our way of life in place for any longer than they need to be. I entered politics to work to give people more freedoms and to empower businesses. As we take action to suppress the spread of this dangerous and deadly disease I am working to get as much of society and our economy reopened to as close to normal as possible as soon as possible. My commitment to promoting more freedoms for families and businesses strengthened by this pandemic as I know that our recovery will be dependent on the strength, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of our country. These are however unprecedented times, forcing Governments across the globe into action that would previously be seen as unthinkable, and simply standing back and doing nothingisnotanoption.There is much we still do not know about this virus,and the risk of inaction is too great. I would therefore like to set out the reasoning for the move to national measures.The second coronavirus peak that we have seen around the world has shown us all that we are going to be dealing with coronavirus for the long-term. That is why over the past weeks and months the Government have been working on a long-term, balanced approach that protects the NHS, keeps children in school, lets the economy function as much as possible, and does not require constant changes. It was hoped that the situation could be managed with the regional system of alert levels, and allow as many people to live as normal a life as possible, because a national lockdown is not cost-free -not only in terms of jobs, businesses, and livelihoods, but also the impact on mental health and loneliness.This is why theGovernment have been so determined to try and avoid another national lockdown. However, the situation has significantly deteriorated and this is now clearly a national problem. The extraordinary efforts being made by millions of people across the country—especially those in very high alert areas—have made a real difference, suppressing the Rrate below where it would otherwise have been.But the R is still above one in every part of England—as it is across much of Europe—and the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst-case scenario. The latest published data shows that the R rate in the East of England is between 1.0-1.2, with a growth rate of 1-3% per day:

Incidence rates are growing, and the NHS is under increasing pressure. If the NHS were to be overwhelmed, it would mean non-Covid cases turned away from hospital because there is no room left; and critically important surgeries and treatments cancelled and many left without treatment. The Government are taking urgent action that will increase NHS capacity as much as possible but even if we doubled NHS capacity, that extra capacity would also be full within a single doubling time of the virus. It was therefore crucial to take action across the whole of England, because there is no alternative. These restrictions will apply nationally for four weeks up to Wednesday 2nd December, and will override the current Local Alert Level restrictions. The Prime Minister set out the plans to Parliament, with Parliament presented the opportunity to debate and vote on these measures on, and with the vote having passed, came into force on Thursday November 5th. It is important to highlight that these are time-limited measures, and on the 2nd December we will seek to ease restrictions, on a local and regional basis, according to the latest data.
Part 2:
This aggressive action allows us the prospect of a better December. The alternative would be even more stringent, and longer-lasting, interventions through December and thereafter. These measures are necessary to help control the spread of the virus which thrives on social interaction. Unfortunately, we know that the virus spreads readily in indoor environments where members of different households and/or support bubbles spend time together. These restrictions do not single out restaurants, pubs or gyms but apply to a wide range of settings where the risk of transmission is high. These findings were highlighted by SAGE, who stated that: “A wide range of social, residential and workplace settings have been associated with transmission. The highest risks of transmission, including those from super-spreading events, are associated with poorly ventilated and crowded indoor settings with increased likelihood of aerosol emission (such as loud singing/speech, aerobic activity) and no face coverings are worn such as bars, nightclubs, parties/family gatherings, indoor dining, gyms and exercise classes, choirs and churches.” (Source:https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads /attachment_data/file/933225/S0824_SARSCoV-2_Transmission_routes_and_environments.pdf) I understand the points and views you have raised and would once again reassure you that I am working to support the freedoms and liberties that we cherish in this country and to have our economy and society reopened as much as it can as soon as it is safe to do so. Thank you, once again, for taking the time to share your views with me.
It sounds just like my useless MP’s letter. I too am having difficulty in summoning up the energy to write a reply. It’s like throwing jelly at the wall.
Is she aware that under most of the tier restrictions, household mixing is still banned so loneliness is still an huge issue? Is she aware that the “better December” will likely involve Tier 4 restrictions across most of the country anyway, so will barely be any different from a national lockdown?
Also, she thinks the current approach does not require constant changes? I’ve lost count of the number of times the rules have changed – rule of six, 10pm curfew, areas moving up the tiers after just a few days in their original tier, lockdown followed by stricter tiers, etc etc.
But like you say, what’s the point?
It’s hard to summon up the energy isn’t it.? But I feel as if blatant lies such as “sharply increasing numbers of infections within Essex” and “ the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst case scenario” do need to be challenged.
The best I can say on her behalf is she has been issued with these “facts” and has not even called challenged them. In itself that is a dreadful indictment of a senior cabinet minister’s behaviour. It’s an awful lot of money and responsibility to just do as she is told isn’t it?
Me too! Three emails & six weeks after my initial one I get a reply from my Labour MP yesterday spouting the party line, not answering any questions.
I too have been considering a further email but feel exactly as you do- there seems to be no way we can make them look outside their own narrow sources of information or party political position.
My conservative MPs email response to my 2 sentence letter was about 2x A4 pages. Very clearly trying to cover his butt using the same content that we question.
Will make sure that he never gets elected again

anyone speak Danish and able to follow? Mask study results getting released now…
Google translate says:
The controversial study of whether it protects against coronavirus wearing a mask will be published at 3 pm today, Rigshospitalet informs.
It’s already 3pm in Denmark, something should be happening.
Good point. I hadn’t realised time
https://www.berlingske.dk/samfund/liveblog-faa-seneste-nyt-om-coronavirus
live blog is supposed to be on this link
3 pm their time, but where?
It’s out. No significant effect of wearing a muzzle. However it only tests the effect of protection to the wearer (which is obviously why people wear them, despite their virtue signalling lies).
https://www.berlingske.dk/danmark/dansk-studie-kan-ikke-bekraefte-at-mundbind-beskytter-mod-smitte
(Use Google translate)
I’m totally shocked. Who could possibly have guessed that a diseased piece of cloth is totally useless at protecting from viral infection?
Exactly what I predicted – trial was too small to detect the magnitude of signal, hence a non-significant finding and rejection by Lancet and NEJM
Publication is here https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
My previous comment:
https://dailysceptic.org/2020/10/23/latest-news-171/#comment-202359
Burden of proof lies with those wishing to mandate muzzles.
It’s also easy to believe that mask-wearing would lead to a greater than 25% increase in contacts compared with non-mask-wearing. Hence risk compensation effects, a zero sum game and no further practical evidence that masks have had an effect. I’m not in the least bit surprised at this.
Yes, separating out the variables is presumably almost impossible to achieve in a public setting in any covid-useful time frame.
Which in a proper environment of scientific analysis would force the researcher back into controlled environments, like health-care settings. And we’ve done that pre-covid. And I understand the papers are getting harder and harder find on the internet.
A scientist-historian, looking back one day, will draw their own conclusions from this.

It’s a bit of a damp squib, frankly. Nothing we didn’t know already. And it seems they’ve been obliged to add a rider to claim you can’t infer anything from the results. But, hey, it’s not positive, and that’s something.
https://www.berlingske.dk/danmark/dansk-studie-kan-ikke-bekraefte-at-mundbind-beskytter-mod-smitte
yes,was disappointed to see they’ve probably been forced to add this in order to get published:
“It should therefore be emphasized that these results cannot be used to raise doubts that the widespread use of masks outside of healthcare can be an effective means of reducing Sars-CoV-2 infections”
I mean one only has to look at the available evidence of rising cases everywhere that mandates masks to see they do nothing.
I have to say I’m disappointed; I was hoping for something a lot more consequential than that.
Ironically. It’s probably more than we currently had either way ! I Welcome it. It’s a start.
Thanks Miss Owl.
So for anyone who read my earlier posts about the FB conversation I had, as expected it ended up descending into futility. It’s probably not over but he has resorted to his typical approach of being a smart arse. He’s not quite clever enough to pull it off but I don’t think that bothers him. He’s being ever so slightly tongue in cheek but I’m sure he sits there smugly trying to think of how he can win arguments and congratulating himself. Interestingly, I’ve only met him in the flesh a couple of times and he’s way less confident in person. The archetypal keyboard warrior. Here is how it continued.
JC:
Well I do follow the news, and I do trust mainstream reporting. I find the idea that all normal media streams are involved in a concerted/coordinated misinformation campaign absurd. Further, when I see my more conspiratorial Facebook friends sharing news from the darker recesses of the Web is often anonymous and almost always from a source which turns out to have a specific agenda. To me those sources aren’t to be trusted, so no for those reason I havent done any deep dive research. In fact I havent don’t any at all. Most of my information has fallen into my lap via my work. As a medical organisation we have e newsletters sharing information that is relevant to our members, press releases, BMJ & Lancet articles, that type of thing.
Me:
You don’t have to look that far to find facts from respected academics and professionals who directly contradict the mainstream narrative. Talk radio is a good example (many interviews on YouTube), so is Peter Hitchens, as are individuals such as Mike Yeadon and Carl Heneghan, both of whom are more qualified on this topic than any member of the Government, the MSM or indeed SAGE. And none of these people have any agenda other than the truth.
I don’t know whether there is a co-ordinated misinformation campaign, but I do know that most if not all of what the govt is saying (and is subsequently reported as fact by the MSM) is not true.
As a start, I would have a listen to this below. It’s 5 minutes. Nothing conspiratorial about this and no agenda. He and people like him give a very clear balanced view which you are not likely to get from say the BBC
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
THIS is a Meeting Privately Recorded in EDMONTON Alberta Canada last week!
JC:
I don’t think you do KNOW anything. Its simply a case that you have chosen to believe 1 perspective over another. When you say that the BBC don’t give a balanced view, you reveal your own bias.
JC:
Peter Hitchins, a man so dumb and desparate for attention that he sent a tweet containing just his own name when he was vanity searching himself.
Me:
Yes it’s true that I don’t necessarily “know” certain things, and have chosen to believe them. And yes we all have bias of course. But there are specific things that are reported by the BBC and other MSM that are either not true or are misrepresented. For instance, reporting “positive PCR tests” as “COVID” cases. Many if not most people will take that to mean that x number of people have COVID which is not true. Similar thing with COVID deaths. It actually means someone who returned a positive PCR test within 28 days of death. That’s the sort of thing (and it’s not all) that the MSM will put out there and it’s hugely misleading.
So yes I might have bias but I have done a fair bit of research via other credible sources, rathe than relying on “the news” or what drops in my lap. I’ve looked at several angles whereas you seem to be saying that you haven’t. I’ suggest that you look up some of the sources that I mentioned and see how that compares to your current view. If you have anything compelling that supports your view then by all means send it to me. I have plenty of links if you want to broaden your perspective
JC:
No thanks.
Me:
Interesting JC that you say that I “have chosen to believe one perspective over another”, but then go on to imply that you’re only prepared to listen to one perspective and not even listen to another, let alone consider it. Is there any reason why not? Do you think you already know enough? Good luck with the vaccination if that’s the case
Spare yourself 12 minutes and listen to this link. One of many but a big contrast to some of the hysteria you’ll see elsewhere, and you might just learn something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaOobpwC7oM&feature=youtu.be
JC:
Yes. Because what I know of the medical profession I trust it beyond all other things. You may not trust the media, you may not trust the politicians. That’s fine. But in a situation where you have to believe in something, I’m going to believe in the medical professionals who have dedicated their lives to keeping us fit and well. You believe your internet research. You fucking nutter.
Me:
Can you give me some examples of the medical professionals and what they’ve written that you believe in? I’d be interested to see it
wow, a true cultist. The faith is strong with this one, I fear he is a lost cause.
Cognitive dissonance at a staggering level – simply won’t even look at something that might challenge his irrational point of view
He’s made of flesh?
A possible alternative approach is to use official death, ICU and hospitalization stats (NOT covid but overall) to show that there is not an unprecedented public health emergency in progress, and neither has there ever been. Ivor Cummins, or here: http://inproportion2.talkigy.com/
That might be more productive than arguing in the abstract about who to trust
He’s a devotee to the cult. You’re wasting your time. We can never educate zealots, focus on the middle ground.
This.
There are types who will never be swayed. Solzhenitsyn talks about people in the gulag’s who still believed in the party.
Argument to authority. He will not employ Socratic method. Maybe you should ask him what Socretes would say? And see what answer he gives.
Move on..the brainwashing is complete. No use of spending any more time or energy. Some people just don’t want to be saved. Ignorance is bliss!!
Why would anyone prefer belief to knowledge?
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I think it’s time to move on, if only for the sake of you guys and the other 8 people on the FB group. It’s very typical of him to enter into an argument with the sole intention of trying to win it, or at least feel that he has, rather than trying to find an answer or learn anything. I vainly hoped that he might take something on board, but unsurprisingly he has just become more entrenched in his position and now is trying to be clever. I’ll be interested to see if he gets vaccinated
I think you are wasting your time, admirable as the attempt may be. I’ve come to conclusion after having many similar discussions that these types of people will reject all knowledge and calls to educate themselves up to the point that the national narrative flips, at which point they will be evangelical in their assertions that really they knew the previous narrative was wrong all along.
It is really quite amazing how such people get along in life. The Brexit vote and 2016 American election highlighted many of these people as Non Player Characters (NPC) and I think they are rather more widespread in society than many would have imagined.
We really are living in the Matrix.
It reminds me of a similar thread I posted here a week or two back, when a work colleague quoted the “4,000 deaths a day” on our Whatsapp group. I called him out and ended up in a similarly futile argument. During the discussion on the comments here, we talked about the notion that some people who are relatively intelligent (or think they are) are prone to overestimating themselves and thus become know-alls. It’s almost impossible to deviate them from their views. The guy last week was classic and this one is even worse. Both of them are arseholes
At least 90% at my former employer were such NPCs. Always had their intranet pages and MSM livestreams ready for their latest scripts.
Logical Fallacy Detected: “Appeal To Authority.”
Argument Void. Please Try Again.
It’s time for this, once again:
Mark Twain — ‘Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.’
If he gets BMJ he must have seen this:
Covid-19: politicisation, “corruption,” and suppression of science
https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4425
Nice work. I will ask him (and try to keep a straight face)
The BMJ have published a couple of interesting editorials recently, has he shared these in his newsletters?
It may make him think, but then again…
Good on you man but it’s clear this lot are a waste of time. We need to focus on the easy wins and just let them live in ignorance.
Yes, it’s a waste of time getting into long arguments online with people. I just use social media now for disseminating very slightly sceptical Covid cartoons, comments etc. Just enough to make those with an open mind think a little bit, not enough to make the zealots start an argument.
sometimes it’s hard to have a conversation/debate on any subject with anyone simply because most people just rely on the distilled news summaries. Drop in a certain name and the reply is “who?” I have had that response on the following subjects:
Brexit – Gina Miller- who?
Trump – John Bolton – who?
Covid – Carl Heneghan – who?
Does anyone have a source of advice for this lady please?
I have heard some people have been able to overturn the death certificate findings. Make a nuisance of yourself and refuse to accept it! Good luck.
Keep shouting about it. I’ve heard so many of these stories.

He had a certain moderately amusing prose style. It was all opinion pieces, not reporting. I’m guessing you’re wondering about his future career prospects?
Sadly even utterly useless PMs make a lot of money after the event form the gravy train.
He used to write opinion pieces rather than something useful like investigative journalism.
As far as I’m concerned, Boris’ only function is to be amusing, and he’s hardly been doing a good job of that lately, has he?
Mayor of London was his high point, if you like that kind of bumbling, here-I-am-stuck-on-a-zipwire type of approach. PM of the entire country – just no.
Simon & Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence (version by Disturbed is even better!)
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
“Fools,” said I, “You do not know.
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you.”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the COVID god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence.”
“Simon & Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence (version by Disturbed is even better!)”
I second that.
Huge demo in Berlin where parliament has VOTED IN the new VACCINATION regulations in a first vote.
(tbh I am not sure of the exact phrases now, or what the detailed sections are people are opposed to)
Police has used water cannons. Demo is very peaceful.
Even The Sun is live streaming!
Politics and democracy have failed, it’s been obvious for years but never this blatant before. The politicians no longer server the people.
How can anyone do anything against these evil people? What can be done??????
One: stay out of fear.
Two: do not comply.
I spend my life bloody terrified these days
I don’t ..The only emotions I feel these days are anger and disbelief.
“to denounce a bill that would enshrine lockdown measures into German law.”… the vaccine part is not mentioned!
Quite right there are lots of bills talking about a lot of measures, I am watching parliament tv, but although my mother tongue is German, I do not understand a word, such legal language.

As expected. No significant impact but the zealots will just chalk it down in the “but if it saves one life” category as if the mandatory wearing of masks is just a minor inconvenience to people.
I’m afraid this is another fail for us.
It certainly is a damp squib. However, it’s not positive, which is certainly something. And it says nothing about two other major issues: the measure of protection given by the wearer to OTHERS*, and the increase in infection CAUSED by wearing a mask.
*Notwithstanding studies on masks attached to hamsters’ cages, or masks in wind tunnels on mannequins (big lols to replicating those in ‘real life’) the lead researcher is quoted as saying that to try and measure any protection given to others would be unethical: see https://www.transcend.org/tms/2020/10/the-suppressed-danish-mask-study/comment-page-1/
Unfortunately right now I don’t think anything other than a study clearly showing that masks actually do you harm will change government policy or public perception.
That’s about as cagey a statement as I could have imagined.
Which begs the question why did three journals refuse to publish it originally…unless this is not the original version.
It’s been toned down for public consumption.
Made me chuckle that the translation for facemasks came out as ‘sanitary napkins‘ and then ‘mouth bandage’!
I think that should be the new name for face nappies.
According to various media outlets the water cannoned protestors in Berlin are “far right” !
There were certainly a lot of of them but the Germans know where fascist governments end up and know to start fighting them while they can
The mainstream media in every country has been invalidating anti-lockdown protests as far right.
Germany responds like a far right dictatorship by banning protests, locking up lawyers and water cannoning peaceful protestors.
And the lockdown sceptics answer to Greta has appeared – in Italy.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/11/18/italian-girls-set-desks-chairs-outside-schools-protest-closures/
Good on her. I have wondered if an old fashioned protest such as chaining together outside HofP might work better than marches and speeches.
So Boris disappeared shortly after the first lockdown was announced, with covid.
Now, a week or so into the second lockdown, he has disappeared yet again, due to covid.
Very strange that his covid issues only occur in periods of lockdown, don’t you think?
Re-education.
Needs to be told what to do.
Dropping my 4 year old off at school today, I jumped out of my skin when noticing another parent wearing one of these.
I mean how much do they want to terrify not just their kids but everyone else’s?
For a split second I wondered if it would be defensible for me to attack and subdue them, perhaps believing them to be a terrorist or a lunatic who’d wondered onto school premises.
Surely they were having a giraffe!? I sometimes used to wear a gas mask to mock the nonsense.
Same. I joined a work video call wearing an S10 respirator back in March. Got a few laughs.
They really weren’t. Sadly their conduct made it clear.
I have been tempted to wear one myself for comedy. I realised that the intent may not be obvious though, so I’ve been contemplating this instead:
During the first lockdown someone was given a talking to by the police for going around wearing that.
That’s encouraging, I’ll probably get one then.
and what’s wrong with a Steampunk mask?
Did they mean it as a sign that these measures are over the top?
It was an alien from the planet Zog.
That’s very self-centred of them.
Like the much-vaunted N95, this kind of respirator does not filter exhaled air, making it completely useless for source control (“stopping the spread”).
Those gas masks that everyone carried around in square boxes slung over their shoulders during the phoney war and beyond? What where they like? I wouldn’t mind carrying one of them around.

Original here, if you understand Danish:
https://www.rigshospitalet.dk/presse-og-nyt/nyheder/nyheder/sider/2020/november/dansk-studie-er-nu-offentliggjort.aspx
Hurrah!
Will they listen . . .?
But the zealots will all jump on this phrase:-
“The study thus does not confirm the expected halving of the risk of infection of the wearer of the mask, but the results could indicate a more moderate degree of protection of 15-20 percent.”
If it saves one life, etc., etc.
I expect the BBC to publish an article tomorrow taking the 20% from this and the model of 500,000 deaths and conclude that masks save 100,00 lives. That’s the level of analysis we’re dealing with at the moment.
Probably something more like ‘Danish study shows non-mask wearers have 80-85% risk of contracting Covid’, such is the grasp of stats by our modern media.
Zealots: either fingers in their ears or “BuT dRoPlEtS”
Yes it will be upsetting for them, for doubt to be cast on the efficacy of their protective facegear.
So now you can sue the Council for imposing masks? Also they didn’t look at other infections caused by mask wearing. Although we have other studies from that.
Small possible effect using surgical masks. Most mask purchased are not surgical masks?
Also, if wearing a mask, does that alter your behaviour?
In English too (at least the summary is)
https://www.rigshospitalet.dk/english/news-and-media/news/Pages/2020/november/denmark-trial-measures-effectiveness-of-adding-a-mask-recommendation-to-other-public-health-measures-for-preventing-SARS-Co.aspx
I am amazed. I am astonished.
I am astounded.
My flabber has never been so gasted.
Out of interest, do we know which masks were used in the study? I am sure a study using solely virtue signalling cloth masks would have a very different outcome.
Surgical masks.
I smell a rat. How can it be healthy to restrict oxygen? I’ve read anecdotal stories of people developing bacterial pneumonia infections from wearing face masks. Then there’s the psychological damage.
Disappointing. I’d hoped that mask wearers would have higher infection rates.
This won’t affect policy, since we wear masks to protect others, not ourselves.
Given that the majority I see wear cloth masks, there is a 2015 study that concludes that they may increase infection:
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjopen/5/4/e006577.full.pdf
If you are Swiss you must be surprised!
Question marks on what has been left out of the study see this twitter thread
https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1329073870540685313
Indeed, seems much has been missed from the original study design:
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04337541
I mean that’s take us no further than we saw in any study pre 2020. Wear one if you what, it does absolutely nothing for you. And any notion that they prevent others getting ill is just hopium
Two problems:
1. There was a v weak positive effect – about 1 in 300…enough for the rabid contingent to claim “if it saves just one life…”
2. Isn’t the official line that it stops you giving others Covid and that’s why you are commanded to wear it? To test that you’d probably have to have variable concentrations of mask wearers in similar locations eg 90%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 10%.
I know I’m wasting my time, but I got some boilerplate response from my MP the other day so I sent him this:
Dear Mr XXXX,
I am writing in response to your letter to me, sent on the 12th November 2020. You are correct in saying that it was not the response I had hoped for, but not for the reason you may think. As an elected representative, you are entitled to disagree with your constituents. However, I am disappointed that your letter did not seem to address many of the issues I raised. In fact, it read more like a general statement of Conservative Party policy, and even incorrectly stated that I supported the ‘tiered approach’, which I do not.
I will first respond to your claim that ‘the science’ used to justify this unacceptable violation of our civil liberties is irrefutable. It is not particularly relevant to say that Mr Steve Baker found it difficult to refute ‘the science’. It is actually quite easy to refute, and has already been refuted and discredited by what I will call ‘the reality’. The government claimed, in its briefing to the public prior to announcing the second ‘lockdown’, that 4,000 people would be dying of (or often more accurately, ‘with’) COVID-19 per day by December. This outrageously inaccurate forecast, which was presented to the public on national television, was based on an estimate of 1,000 deaths per day by November 1st. In fact, there were just 162 announced on that day. This forecast was obviously out of date, and discredited by reality before it was even presented.
Do you think that it is acceptable to use out of date forecasts to frighten the public and justify these draconian measures? In fact, is it acceptable to use modelling as opposed to actual real world data to direct policy at all? Why were the government, the CMO and the CSA so keen to mislead the public, using forecasts they knew were out of date?
Secondly, you say that ‘on balance’ you believe that these restrictions are necessary. This would imply that you, or the government, have carried out a detailed cost-benefit analysis or impact assessment in relation to these measures. I have not seen such a document myself, but would be delighted if you could share it with me. Was such a document available to you prior to the date of the vote? To say that the measures are necessary ‘on balance’, implies that it is justified to sacrifice the lives of some, to do what you believe might save the lives of others. This is a grave judgment to make, and to do so without a proper analysis of the trade offs would be highly irresponsible. Indeed, in industry, it would be gross negligence.
Lastly, I touched on this point in my previous email, but did not receive a response to it. You say that the first duty of government is to ‘keep us safe’. I work in the aviation industry, a sector which has been decimated by these poorly thought through policies. I would like to ask, as a 28 year old man with two children, how destroying my career and hindering my ability to feed my family and pay for my home will keep me safe? For the most part, COVID-19, despite the protestations of Matt Hancock, is not a condition which badly affects healthy people of working age. This is evident in data from around the world. Choosing to destroy entire sectors which people rely on for income, and have poured years of study and hard work into, does not help to keep them safe. In the long term, it will also adversely affect people of pensionable age. A poorer nation is a sicker nation. Economic prosperity and the quality of the healthcare system are intrinsically linked.
Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Lockdown_Lunacy
The risk of dying with the coronavirus is exactly the same as dying if the virus did not exist. The virus has had zero effect on mortality. In plain language, the only change in deaths has been what is written on the death certificates.
Indeed, it really is an inconsequential illness in the grand scheme of things.
Very well written LL. Keep battering on. My best wishes to you and your family.
Arnie.
Thanks Arnie, the same to you and yours.
The latest reply from my MP was thanking me for my enquiry about Marcus Rashford and food policies. Wonder who actually got my reply or maybe it was the standard letter of the week…considering I’ve never mentioned MR
That’s a great email.
Some interesting news from a friend in the American Midwest:
https://eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/health/2020/11/18/coronavirus-vaccine-could-arrive-iowa-before-approval-give-shots-against-covid-19/6322619002/
“In that three- to four-week time frame after the first dose, the product will be hitting the market very, very rapidly,” Sharp said. He said the advice has been, “Get as many shots into as many arms as you can with that initial allocation, and additional supplies will be on the way.”
So the States are pressing ahead with widespread distribution even before federal approval has been given. This speaks for itself in so many ways.

Operation Warp Speed: Planning the distribution of a future COVID-19 vaccine

How can this possibly end well? None of it makes sense, probably because there’s either something very sinister going on behind the scenes, or there’s something we’re not being told. An emergency vaccine which bypasses regulatory approval would only be justified in the case of a really severe disease that kills tens/hundreds of millions across the globe across all age groups and demographics. Last time I checked, Covid had claimed 0.017% of the world population, and even then the death figures are not trustworthy given how generously deaths are recorded around the world and given that many of these victims may have died of something else.
I sincerely believe that this only ends with hundreds of millions of deaths or severe injuries worldwide due to the mass vaccination. It has to get this dark before enough people wake up and rebel.

Anyone care to guess when the judgement will be published
I would put money on it being towards the latter part of next week or very early December.
Probably after 2 Dec, so like last time they can say that it doesn’t really matter any more because we’re not in lockdown.
In the light of the fat dictators latest pronouncements on his policy goals, are there any of you out there that still believe that covid fascism is just a mistake and nothing to do with the great green reset?
If you do believe that could you publish a list of the drugs you are taking – I would like to take some of the same.
The funny thing is, I don’t remember voting for any of this shit last election time – must be my incipient dementia I suppose.

Voting is a mug’s game. Banks win, war profiteers win, you lose. Every. Single. Time.
I wouldn’t call covid fascism a mistake – it’s being done deliberately, in my view to further the PM’s political career (in his mind, anyway). I think the green stuff is him wanting to appear cuddly. Being attracted to utopian solutions is not uncommon, and he has many character flaws.

I suspect a lot of older lockdown zealots are going to be angry when they realise they are slowly going to lose their savings through inflation and negative interest rates. If they lose, for example 5% in real terms each year it is going to be pretty painful.

The shower at Number Ten are making about as much sense with their ‘announcements’ as a purple-can philosopher on a park bench. Why anyone pays them the slightest heed I know not.
The Covid Recovery Group has enough members to trigger a leadership contest.

They are done full stop.
Boris just announced £12 in promises, proposals petrol car bans and waffle spread over 10 years, just to appease the greenies. On the other hand he also just authorised £100B to test a largely uninfected population. The NHS annual budget is £137B.
How on earth did we end up with such a corrupt and ignorant government?
Because millions of people were duped into voting for that fat fuck in December 2019.
Even without Covid, he would have driven this nation into the ground.
Laura Perrin’s on Conservative Woman sussed Boris some time ago. A man largely led by little Boris and is short of cash – NOT a good combination for untainted leadership.
They weren’t ‘duped’; they are the great unthinking lump who sit before their wide plasma screen televisions uncritically absorbing the mindless crap spewing out. They are simply too stupid to be allowed to vote and they should not be. Unqualified universal suffrage is a very bad idea.
I’ve long been of the opinion that you are not allowed to vote if you can’t get 3 basic political questions right before the voting booth. To see if people have been paying attention.
Who gets to decide who has the right to vote and who doesn’t?
I think it should be a legal requirement to vote for everyone aged 16 or over.
However, there should always be an option at the bottom of the list that says, “None of the above.”
If the “None of the above” party wins, the political system should be changed.
If one has to do something, it is not a right, it is a duty. Voting is a right.
They already spent two hundred billion on the various job protection schemes.
‘We’ voted it for it, over many decades. I didn’t; I spoil my ballot paper when there is not a credible independent candidate, or a reasonable fringe party (by reasonable I mean having some chance of making a sizeable dent in the sitting party’s majority)
I’ve been saying this for ages. Why are we testing? As soon as you have the test, it is null and void as you may then catch it two minutes after you have the test, highly unlikely but plausible. It’s absolute madness.
The Danish mask study has finally been published after repeated rejections. I suspect that In order to get it published the authors redrafted some of the paper. It concludes that mask wearing may provide some slight protection (even though there was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups). This looks to me a lot like something that happens in the area of Climate science (yes I know there’s no such thing). Studies are published where nothing in them supports the Climate Change narrative except a few sentences at the beginning and the end that are characterised by words such as may and could and might. Such sentences are included because the authors know they will not be published and will not receive future funding if they do not kowtow to the Climate Change agenda.
I’d suspected as much.
However, it is a RCT yes? Conclusively proving that it protects others would be unethical. And, if there was any benefit it would have been shown. If its good enough for Pfzier it’s good enough for this. Masks are not effective.
Lateral flow tests in Liverpool show positive results at HALF that of PCR tests
Suggests then that half of all deaths WITH Covid,are in fact nothing of the sort
The entire lockdown and the devastation is based on entirely incorrect data
This is a scandal of unique proportions
https://twitter.com/simondolan/status/1328749631979786240
Sadly I suspect the devastation is the desired effect.
Lockdowns are hitting the right people financially – the poor and vulnerable. The wealthy are doing very well from the Great Reset the Dow Jones index in the US is at record highs as are many other asset prices. I don’t believe for a minute the elite will miss out on any healthcare.
I’m not sure this is right. I haven’t seen anywhere conclusive evidence that the same people were given both tests. The danger here is that we’re comparing apples & pears. It’s beyond comprehension that people testing positive for the LFT weren’t also given a PCR test, unless someone doesn’t want to know how they compare?
A random thought, prompted by a comment below, in which the writer referred to the usual argument that anything is permissible and acceptable ‘if it saves just one life’: If I am prepared to sacrifice my own life in defence of my personal freedom why should I tolerate the destruction of that freedom to save the lives of people in whom I have no interest and do not know?
NICE has a formula for how much public money it is reasonable to spend to save a life. It is twenty thousand pounds per year of perfect health.
The government has already spent two hundred billion on the various job support schemes never mind all the other expenditures. But the decision to introduce the lockdown back in March was made without any attempt to assess how many people would die as a result of those measures, never mind all the other harms.
There is nothing about the government’s responses to the virus that make sense if we accept at face value that their motivation is to save lives.
Great post.
An individual cannot save a life.
The person either has to have an immune system that will be able to fight the invaders (we are exposed to much more dangerous pathogens every day)
or
they will need to live in a plastic bubble (even then they could succumb as we need to be exposed to viruses, bacteria and other pathogens on a daily basis to build immunity) and will decline mentally

It may have already been mentioned on here but Professor Dolores Cahill’s latest on youtube is good. A little dry in patches and alternately optimistic and scary well worth watching. She mentions that coronavirus was the wrong pandemic in terms of keeping us all frit all the time as it is seasonal.

She is due to be in England from the 23rd November (sure Priti useless Patel is already working on keeping her out).

Have you seen Iain Davies’ blog post? He argues that the virus does not exist. https://in-this-together.com/covid-19-evidence-of-global-fraud/
It isn’t.
I’m guessing it’s not true. Loads of other NHS staff would have broken cover if it was.
Come on then, this is getting fucking stupid now. Dolly chops, can I have my ball back I want to go home for my tea
After much rigorous investigation I managed to uncover what could be the key to the whole covid game.
Apparently every 101 years when the century and year numbers coincide – so 1818, 1919, 2020, and even 2121 if you are considering living that long (it won’t be worth it), – April fools day lasts for an entire year, not just one day!
So you can fully expect on April 1st 2021 Bojo will appear on breakfast television and greet you with his usual inane grin and the immortal words “Century Fool!”. “I really didn’t think I would be able to keep up the joke for the whole year, that is why I had to keep ‘self isolating’ all the time”. “Oh boy, you should see all the cctv footage we have got of you dancing out of the way of the unmasked, it is enough to keep the bbc in outtake programs for a whole year, you have got to admit it, this was a good one”.
“Anyway, you can get back to normal now, it was only a joke”.
Well, it’s as believable as any scenario he’s postulated.
From Patrick Vallance’s Wikipedia entry:-
In 2018, he was one of nine scientific advisers who, in a paper in Nature, called for “inclusive, rigorous, transparent, and accessible information for policy makers” and supported the Evidence-Based Research Network.
So I assume then you’re going to come out and tell us that masks are ineffective and we no longer need to wear them then Patrick?……Patrick?……woohoo Patrick?……
Yellow box – interesting idea – must be the masks then!
reply from my MP this afternoon
“I have recently joined the Covid Recovery Group, a new backbench group formed to fight the imposition of a third national lockdown. I believe the country is badly in need of a different and enduring strategy for living with the virus that doesn’t require us to keep living under a series of damaging lockdowns and seemingly arbitrary restrictions”
Good news, but if they are in favour of masks, social distancing and vaccines (which I suspect many of them are) then they can still fuck off.
quite. its progress, but he promised me a few weeks ago (‘I give you my word’ etc) that he would fight against a second lockdown – before voting for it
the very fact they’ve mentioned a 3rd lockdown means it’s already planned in my opinion
they seem to believe Neil Ferguson’s paper 9. Which means the next 15 are planned
Very good point. Preparing the public for Lockdown 3, 4, 5 and on ad infinitum.
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/mrc-gida/2020-03-16-COVID19-Report-9.pdf
page 12 is what they are planning/expect. They just didn’t factor in the summer/seasonal suppression
Just had a fairly broad read of that report. Explains a lot about how we got here. Noted their references to Herd immunity, one for Wankcock to answer right there – especially as they seem to have an element of Barrington in their assumptions of social distancing for the > 70’s. Basically. U.K. policy comes out of Neil Ferguson. That’s it. Nothing else to see here.
Don’t know if this appears earlier but the Danish RCT re facemasks has been published.
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
There is no statistically significance difference between the infection rate in the control group and the group who wore masks.
The mask group did have a slightly lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection than the control group (1.8% vs 2.1%) but this is not statistically significant. We must also bear in mind that the masks worn were surgical masks and not dirty bits of old cloth!
No doubt this will be spun as evidence for masks by the Covidistas!
The riposte will be along the lines of “if it saves just one life …”, and they’ll latch onto the 1.8 vs 2.1.
given that surgical masks make no difference, bits of cloth will make it worse – less distancing, risk compensation, same ‘mask’ for 3 months without washing etc.
To me this is clear evidence ‘shitty masks are worse than no masks’.
The difference, as they say is stastically insignificant. What the maskers will point to is that at the time of the study hardly anyone in Denmark was wearing a mask. So they will fall back on the argument that wearing one is to protect the other person not the one wearing the mask. So the study is irrelevant, as it only measures whether the wearer has more risk of infection.
Its very clever, the argument that society is to be proected from the individual is very difficult to refute one there is general acceptance of the precautionary principle, which unfortunately all our laws/instructions now incorporate.
Its a useful study but it doesn’t provide any sort of knock out blow. Given the control levers of (mis)information are with the state its difficult to see how one is obtained.
One has to ask why the Covid warriors were so worried about this study that they chose to put pressure on to keep it from circulation?
In essence, it simply confirms previous findings, albeit with the backing of a proper RCT.
Perhaps the feverish response is a confirmation of the shaky foundation of the whole narrative – and the need to keep persistently chipping away with the data pick! They know that the current theatrical performance is due for a short run if the actual truth emerges.
Already seeing them saying that this is no evidence against masks protecting others so masks still need to be worn.
No amount of actual evidence will change their narrative.
This has been the argument for some time.
The problem is the argument in favour of masks moved on some time ago.
Apparently, masks protect others – not the wearer.
More “allegedly” than “apparently”.
The perfect loop. Almost like a behavioural science expert sat on a panel and said “hey listen to this idea I had”.
Unless you’re at a Trump rally, or President Trump himself, and subsequently test positive, in which case it’s your fault for giving it to yourself for not wearing a mask.
Excuse the length of the following long quotation from Claire Craig’s interview, mentioned in today’s edition and helpfully transcribed by a reader.
It is worth a considered read, as she recalls the early days of the onset of the pandemic in March:
“When COVID hit in spring, it was a really horrid killer, and we’ve kind of forgotten quite how bad it was. If you go back and try and remember how we were feeling in March and how the news came out and how… So let me take you through the timeline, actually. The 21st of March, news broke that 21 year old Chloe Middleton, who was healthy, had died at home of COVID, which had us all slightly on edge, I think. And then on the 28th of March, Martin Egan, who was a bus driver, died. And the first NHS surgeon who was working had died. The next day was another death of a bus driver, and a 55 year old healthy NHS physician died. And by five days later, we were told five Transport for London bus drivers had died. The next day five NHS staff had died. It was really quick, and it was killing young people who should not have been dying, and it was worth being scared of in March and April.”
Why is it significant?
Basically – because it is a really telling example of the pull of a media narrative if you are not paying attention to the detailed overall picture.
Remember – Claire Craig has done sterling work in highlighting the facts of the later casedemic. But her recall of the onset is coloured by media images of exceptional and untypical cases.
Yes – there were such cases, but, as we know with analytical hindsight, they were rare. Even the large number of deaths amongst the older and more vulnerable population, when put into context, resulted in a death toll that was high, but not exceptional in overall historical terms. The virus really was not a ‘horrid killer’ above and beyond most strongish agents of respiratory disease that occur in the normal run of things.
So – an intelligent, statistically and scientifically aware person comes up with this image when not looking specifically at the data.
What hope for changing the perceptions of the brainwashed section of the population at large?
Chloe Middleton did not die of Covid. It was almost certainly a heart attack. The probability that Covid killed a healthy 21 year old back in March and then just stopped killing healthy people of that age anywhere else in the world is non-existent.
Even if it is true the probability is likely to be less than that of a healthy 21 year old dying through an unexpected reaction to a vaccine.
People younger than 21 die of flu every year all over the world. So the story is ? I am sad for her family, but if a child dies of cancer do those who want everyone locked up insist we lock up for that ? Why not if you care so much ?
Your point is well made.
“What hope for changing the perceptions of the brainwashed section of the population at large?”
Quite.
Danish mask study out?!
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/danish-study-suggests-masks-do-little-stop-covid-iowa-gov-insists-there-evidence-both
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
It has now been published in annals of Internal medicine,not bad.
The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection.
One thing I noticed on the Reich ministry of Public enlightenment and Propaganda is that none of these vaccines have been tested on people who have had the virus.
Wonder if you’ll need to have a test first?
Is messenger RNA such a new experimental technology?
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1748013219301483
3 decades with none approved? Would make me want to question it.
The vaccines have never been used on humans before. I think some are used on animals though. Who were all fine. Right up to the point when they were made into pies.
This probably has more to do with the fact that in normal times there’s no money in vaccines.
Hilarious! I needed a laugh
https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/10/the-story-of-mrna-how-a-once-dismissed-idea-became-a-leading-technology-in-the-covid-vaccine-race/
“The story of mRNA: How a once-dismissed idea became a leading technology in the Covid vaccine race”
It is a good article on the history of custom made mRNA development, BioNTech and Moderna.
Reports emerging of 25 day lockdown after to counter 5 day Christmas ‘freedom’. Surely, if this thing is so deadly, allowing people to mix over Christmas is knowingly exposing the nation to risk and potential death and harm? Can they be held accountable for that? No government in the world would get away with actively allowing exposure to a deadly contagion.
Exactly, how will they fudge the numbers after Christmas though when nothing increases above the norm? ie. how will they try and increase PCR testing to show the numbers going up.
That’s exactly what will happen. They’ll be doing very little testing over the Christmas week and then ramp it up again in the New Year. Boom! The pandemics back.
They don’t even need to do any actual testing. They can just say that they have and it is the truth. Through the looking glass.
I don’t know why they are testing now. They can just ask ferguson to model what testing would give us if we did it and save the money
Given the widespread reports of empty test centres, I suspect the sole source of data is currently hospital admissions plus a few Excel tweaks.
The latest SAGE modelling will just show 10,000 deaths a day without one.
A Christmas Carol is the greatest work of fiction. But SAGE modelling comes close.
Are we at 2000 deaths and 100,000 infections a day now ?
“Christmas of death”
If they really believe their own bollox, we will be locked down over Christmas – can you imagine the headlines!
Yes, if they genuinely believed Covid to be the terrible threat they have been telling us it is, this would be grossly irresponsible. What will it take for the UK public to waken up?
I really hope the arbitrariness of 5 days over Christmas wakes the public up to how none of this makes any sense. If this was really about a deadly virus then the govt wouldn’t be quibbling about how many days they can graciously let us out of our hutches for. Beth Rigby’s saying on Twitter how most people are going to see families over Christmas, regardless of rules. I am convinced that the majority of people think this is all BS but are complying for fear of a fine or social ostracism.
So you want to drop a present over to someone the weekend before Christmas and maybe have a cuppa, that’s going to be illegal. Oh ok ! That’s “generous”. What Wanker thought that was a good move ?
You want to spend New Years with your friends & family. Nah. Illegal. Actually illegal. What Wanker thought that was a good move ?
It’s pathetic. Anyone and I do mean anyone who accepts this now is simply a collaborator.
There are reasons why Christmas happens when it does. There are reasons why it’s important to societies to leave it alone. There are reasons why even suggesting it’s a controlled and optional time of year are absolutely vile and abhorrent.
“25 day lockdown after to counter 5 day Christmas ‘freedom’.”
Yep. All total, illogical bollocks – obviously set up to see how far the public can be pushed to behave illogically and gullibly.
Sadly, my bet is – ‘quite far’.
This Christmas “gift” from our leader stinks ……
It seems like some measly parent/Father Christmas telling the children that their stocking will be empty if they have been bad boys or girls.
Anyway, Christmas is something which people should be free to celebrate or not celebrate in any way they choose without some edict hanging over them. I’m getting sick of his stuff now.
Danish mask study has been published!
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
About 3000 people told to wear masks, 3000 told not to bother.
1.8% of maskers got Covid vs 2.1% of bare-facers. They differ by 0.3%, but this is statistically insignificant because the 95CI was -0.4% to 1.2%.
The twitter shitstorm denouncing this result will generate more heat than light but should be highly entertaining.
Follow the science … unless the science doesnt fit the narrative then the science is wrong
You don’t under The Science if reality doesn’t fit The Science reality is wrong.
The Science is never wrong and only changes when the politics changes.
It should be noted that they were surgical masks..
They received 50 masks each for a month from a controlled source, most people use a mask for a week or even a month.
I’ve had the same mask for months it’s still like new
https://dailysceptic.org/2020/11/18/latest-news-197/#comment-253612
Danish mask trial- my earlier comment. I think it is also worth adding that this earlier RCT which compared cloth masks to surgical masks in health care workers showed an increased risk of influenza-like illness and other respiratory infections in the cloth mask arm!
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25903751/
At the very least any person who loves the mask will admit that it’s up to the person. If they want to just live on fairy tales, that’s fine…just stay out of my way. I’ll be muzzle free and you can hide away in fear. We are all free to do that aren’t we?
A mask is to an adult what a comfort blanket is to a child. It’s that simple.
One thing mentioned in the study was that the study does not test for source control (ie: does someone wearing a mask, with COVID, spread the virus less than an unmasked person?) – this was always the argument for the pro-mask lot – “protect others”.
I was thinking about this on the way home. Surely if a mask doesn’t protect the wearer (ie: it is “invisible” to the virus), the reverse must logically be true (except for larger droplets). The larger droplet spread was discredited I think, but I don’t have a reference.
But as so few people wear ever infected it was never going to be possible to prove that masks have an effect on transmission but if you stay home if sick (very sensible) the point is irrelevant.
It doesn’t have to be symmetrical and we don’t know if masks protect others. That would be practically impossible to set up as an RCT.
Masks supposedly work by altering the velocity of some of the droplets basically. So there will be some situations like yelling in someone’s face, or doing open heart surgery, but probably not shopping in Tesco, where they probably make a difference.
We need to start spreading the word about this study – I notice that one press article below spins the outcome to fit the current narrative.
A 6000 person controlled study proves no statistical benefit from masks.
A 6 guniea pig behind a curtain study showed a potential benefit from masks.
The world wears masks.
Humanity is full of dim wits !
Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.
No wonder they couldn’t get it published.
Freedom might not be just for Christmas, but the antibodies of a butcher’s dog last for ever.

I went out for a walk this evening and it occured to me how worthless everything is now. Even the small river and surrounding trees just all felt like plastic scenery. All I could think about was the empty, hollow present and even darker future. Yet so many are still fast asleep.
I really am not much longer for this world.
I feel the same sometimes, by the time the masses realise it’ll be too late and life will just be existing, not living.
Keep yer chin up. You made through another day.
There are huge demonstrations against lockdown cruelty going on around the world right now. Your voice will resonate with many, which helps humanity. You are valuable and worthy
I gave up going out for walks months ago for precisely these reasons. All public spaces have been defiled beyond repair.
Thankfully I am not as attached to the external world as many are, so this has been a surprisingly comfortable adjustment.
If you take no pleasure in Nature then indeed you might as well be dead. Nature doesn’t give a damn for Covidiocy. Why project your misery on to her? That is pathetic fallacy, and I mean pathetic.
Brew a cuppa and snap out of it.
Keep going. Live to see revenge. I don’t want to miss the ending of the film, that’s what keeps me going.
Yes, making life difficult for the tyrants is a good motivation. Humanity is lost if these people win.
Hang in there. We have our up and down days but you’re in good company here.
You could not be more wrong. What you see in the trees and in the small river and scenery is life. That’s what living is, family aside, all the other bullshit these idiots try to take from you does not matter. They take what you mostly don’t need. Find the joy in space, outdoor and in that sense of freedom. I don’t for a minute reject any idea that them imposing this horror on us does not have an effect, but you will get through it and be a stronger, wiser person for the experience. All the best.
hang in there. meditate.
the great reset is coming undone.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
– Dale Carnegie
You need to be here to see them pay. We will carry you if needs be.
Do not let these soulless fuckwits ruin your life, whatever stupid ‘reset’ cobblers are projected by the psychopaths natural law always wins…
Our love of freedom is stronger that any government .Look again at nature and take strength from it .You are not alone we will overcome this so hang in there.Steady under fire because we need you in this ongoing and coming struggle .

Alex mentioned it on UK Column. Thanks for linking it.

Excellent article in The Critic by a dissident doctor.
Secondly, a brief visit to GP today for final round of cryotherapy.
He was interested in my lanyard and wanted to know if I’d encountered much hostility: very little was my answer, although I was challenged by the rather stern receptionist on my way in.
He was entirely supportive and friendly and I’m still the only bare faced lanyard wearer both in the town at large and in the surgery.

Bloody hell, gonna be strange advent calendars this year.
Just 2 doors 24th and 25th.
1 door. Advent stops on the 24th.
Even worserer
When I were a lass and advent calendars were just cardboard with no choccies, I’m sure we had a very special window to open on 25th even though technically no longer advent. I think therefore you are entitled to the full 2 windows this year.
Ours was a bigger window for the 24th
I used to eat the chocolates first, I’ve got no patience
I’d recommend one of these. Although possibly one beer per day isn’t a strong enough dose as a cononapanic vaccine (you would need to buy at least eight).

Poor areas of England face ‘permanent’ lockdown, says public health chief
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/18/poor-areas-of-england-face-permanent-lockdown-says-blackburn-public-health-chief
Blackburns figures havent changed for months (worst in the country for forever), they have a rolling rate of 600+ per 100k, 900 cases the past 7 days, that would mean that they have had easily 10,000 positive PCR cases and at least 60,000 should have been in isolation, so how is this working for Blackburn? Everyone should be in or coming out of isolation yet the ‘cases’ never change. I cannot understand this at all, how has it managed to stay so high I mean for months, but I cant find corresponding deaths in the NHS figures. What is going on there? Apart from lockdown not working what is peculiar about Blackburn? Similar things in the Manchester to Leeds corridor too but not as bad.
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ….. oh sorry love! not permitted
Yep. That’s why they’re saying we’ll be let out on the 24th. Three weeks after the 2nd. Of course they will call it nationwide Tier 4 rather than a national lockdown because Boris promised.
During my exercise today I came across a group of black people demonstrating in front of Trafalgar Square. Judging from the flags they were carrying, I suspect they were Zimbabwean expats. There were around 15-20 of them.
There were two police officers who just stood by and were doing nothing.
However you can bet that if that was an anti-lockdown protest with the same number of people, there would have been more police sent in order to break up the demonstration.
More selective policing from our so-called guys and gals in blue.
They should really be worried that they’ve lost the trust of the people and when the day of reckoning comes, bleating “I was only following orders” won’t be good enough.
Hi Bart, shame you did not get a photograph or video.
Yeah, should have had
History sadly show that those ‘just following orders’ do more often than not get away with it – let’s hope the senior officers are forced to justify their actions and the SS like Territorial Support Group are disbanded or retrained.
One thing for sure is that many law abiding citizens have completely lost faith in the police. I certainly don’t trust them and wouldn’t want to interact with them without filming – they outright lie and provoke people.
Exactly. Every time I see police now, I cross the street to avoid them especially if they’re muzzled. If they try to talk to me, I would go “AAAAAAAHHHH!” and run the opposite direction.
If I need anything I would rather get lost than ask a police officer. Sir Robert Peel must be rolling in his grave now.
A lot of people who would have helped a police officer if they were in trouble this time last year would certainly walk on by now.
The tactics of the police to target women to incite crowds is truly shameful, particularly at the Trafalgar Square protest after they had a minutes silence for their colleague.
I was there too. The rozzers did move them on eventually.

Was also at speakers corner on Sunday. They moved everyone out of the corner, fining an elderly gent with a walking stick, and we just carried on outside the gates of Hyde Park. So we are not allowed to discuss this massively important issue within the home of free speech but we can across the road at Marble Arch. No sense at all.
The delusion
The dictatorship can lock us up for Christmas
The reality
The dictatorship can do no such thing
Admittedly they can make as many laws as they like, but they are mere bits of paper. A piece of paper cannot lock you up in your house
There is nobody to enforce this tripe
The police already have a day job
Ok they can issue tickets, but in 8 months they have issued 0.00003 tickets for each member of the population. Half of those have never been paid
Rather than hiding from the police we should be ringing 999 and grassing ourselves up for breaches and demanding the police issue us with tickets
Aim to get a ticket every day
Nobody pay, demand your day in court
The system would collapse within 24 hours
If the police arrive and leave without issuing you with a ticket, ring 999 and demand they return and issue you with a ticket
A dictatorship can only survive if we let it
That sounds like fun
Genius!
How many times have you called?
I googled “coronavirus” and the first link that turned up was a BBC report about a 69 year old couple who both died of it in Ireland. A tragic case but I wonder how rare such an event is? The more tragic the story the more it is pushed to scare people.
My friend was telling me yesterday of a relative telling her his grandson who is in his 20’s has been too terrified to go out for months and how terrifying everything was. She said she politely made her excuses as she couldn’t take any more of it.
That young man’s life is destroyed, his broken mind will not recover. He’ll never marry or father children
Just as well. Morons beget morons.
Yeah that guy has been all over the news in Northern Ireland. Here’s another anomoly. Also NI.
I am afraid I am very sceptical of all such stories. The “facts” are likely to be selective and a complete view of the situation these people were in is rarely provided.
Some interesting information in this video from Max Igan living in the Australian police state.
The bit about potential compulsory vaccinations with the refusal penalty being 5 years imprisonment or Australian $66,600 is staggering.

They certainly seem to like their numerology and symbolism. It feels like we are taking part in some strange satanic ritual with all the zombies wearing black masks.
It’s some kind of death and re-birth kind of thing.
Well keep bearing in mind the fact that Richy Sunak’s business was called Theleme.
People in general seem completely unaware of how inconsequential his ministerial salary is to him.
I wonder what motivates him to be in politics? I assume it is the extra power and control it gives him – publicly he does seem the best of a bad bunch, I assume he is being groomed to takeover from Johnson.
I had a boss who was a pretty good salesman in the 80s and he got an immense sexual thrill out of a successful sale (to the extent that he had to head to the gents to “release the tension”). Not the best boss I have ever had!
It is a satanic ritual.
Organise fight back
That fine is a blatant pisstake.
A few months ago I posed the question on here as to whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus had actually been isolated and received a couple of useful replies. I believe that this article, apologies if it has already been linked in other comments, sheds light – or to be more precise, further darkness:
https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/17/covid19-evidence-of-global-fraud/
Another new experience for me today.
I got angry, really angry – but instead of losing my cool I expressed myself. I had the words and the gestures. OMG the ***** person caught it from me – and then a few more of the collaborators did as well.
Coz that’s where we are at now. Anyone who has not engaged their brain, who doesn’t stop and ask questions, who has not taken any personal responsibility for the state of the society in which we live, is a collaborator.
I’m having a shower next to wash the whole disgusting dystopia off my body and soul physically and metaphorically and then I’ll be back to tell you what happened.
Do come back and tell!
Troops, how are we going to get out of this?
Cast your minds back to March, the “two weeks to flatten the curve and save the NHS”. Yep, we spent several months like this with ever increasing stupid rules. Hmm…you can’t sit on a park bench during your one hour of exercise, only allowed out for “essential shopping”.
Then came the “eat out to help out”, but soon……no you naughty people you didn’t obey the rules.
Then the stupid masks on transport and in shops, this when there were very few hospitalizations.
If someone had told me this time last year what has subsequently happened I would have thought them insane
The frog has certainly been boiled now.
We are now living by the rules of a totalitarian government in the fucking UK.
Is this like living with an abusive partner? The rules change and “you made me do it”, here is a little bit of kindness (you can see your relatives for five days over Xmas).
Fuck Christmas, fuck lockdowns, fuck Boris and co.
No new normal, no never ending in and out of lockdowns, no mandated or coerced vaccines.
We want our lives back, existing is not living:
Join me with leaflets, one person by one person. It works. Report later
And if that’s not your thing, write letters. I’ve come up with a whole new tranche of places to write letters to. Again, more later
Had my pre-op at hospital today. Have been told to self isolate for 2 weeks before, and, 2 weeks after the op. As I’m self employed I don’t get SSP and despite being told to SI by the NHS, I don’t get the £500 payment as it wasn’t trac n’ trace who told me. So thanks Boris, a month with no income, you absolute parasite.

Ignore them fella. Just get on with life. You won’t get Covid. And you need to keep in mind you could do everything they say you must do and then go get a false positive and it would all be for nothing. Just live your life.
For any of those who read my posts above about the increasingly futile discussion I had with “JC” on Facebook, I perhaps stupidly tried to conclude it and it ended predictably. With him resorting to childishness and smart arsed trolling. Not at all out of character and I’m sure he feels quite proud of himself. It became rather stupid in the end, if it wasn’t already. Maybe there is some use in posting it, as it’s an example of how seemingly futile it is to try and have a sensible conversation with an uninformed person, especially one who thinks he is informed. The scary thing is that he’s apparently university educated and seems to fancy himself as a bit of an intellectual. Just posting it here for information / amusement purposes. I’ll not be replying to him any further
JC:
You mean to tell me you’ve done all this research and you cant find any good positive stories? Sounds like your research isn’t as extensive as you think
Me:
No I’m not saying that. I’m just asking what information are you basing your opinion on, and where / from whom did you get it? I might have seen some of it for all I know, but I don’t know unless you tell me where it comes from
JC:
Like I already said, through my work, newsletters, intranet articles, we get updates on what the medical press are talking about be that mainstream media, medical journals, press releases, etc… there is a range of places they draw from. I’m sorry, I havent catalogued these things as extensively as you. I’d probably go with the BMJ or the Lancet as being some of the most frequently cited.
Me:
Can you share some of them then? Anything that supports your view on the vaccine but if not anything else that concurs with your views on COVID? I’d be interested to get another perspective
Me:
I’ve actually read the BMJ from time to time. Was this one of the articles you read?
https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4425
Covid-19: politicisation, “corruption,” and suppression of science
JC:
No
JC:
But isn’t it reassuring to hear that our medical professionals who i trust are doing all they can to act as a bulwark against the politicisation of the virus and vaccine.
Me:
Do you have any articles or such like that you can share?
JC:
You just shared one
Me:
I meant ones that you have read.
JC:
I already said No
Me:
So you have “newsletters, intranet articles, .. updates on what the medical press are talking about be that mainstream media, medical journals, press releases, etc… there is a range of places they draw from.” on which your opinion is based, but you can’t give me any examples?
JC:
No
JC:
Obsession is one of the telltale signs of these nutters you know.
Me:
I wouldn’t call it obsessive, just trying to find out what information you have that makes you so adamant that you know enough. I wasn’t and still aren’t sure why you are reluctant to share anything.
Besides, I think resorting to ad hom insults and logical fallacies is worse.
JC:
I’m not sure I have adamantly stated that I know enough.
Me:
I asked you, and in your reply you said “yes”, although maybe you were replying to a different question. So do you? And if not, are you open to reading anything that might contradict your current view? And if not, why not?
JC:
What is my current view? I’m not sure you can contradict it because I’m not sure you really know. I think you’re more interested in pushing your agenda. Share it by all means, its unlikely I’ll pay much attention. But I might.
Me:
We have different views on the vaccine. I’ve given my views, and some evidence. You said you didn’t want me to share any links, and you’ve just confirmed that. Hence you don’t seem open to things that may contradict your view.
I don’t want to speak for you, so maybe you can share me something that informs your opinion, and if need be state what that opinion is. I was really just trying to get a different perspective but if you’re reluctant then it’s not a big deal.
JC:
I think the prospect of a vaccine is very good news. That’s my view.
JC:
And anti vaxxers are nutters.
Me:
I see. Based on what information? Specifically?
JC:
The fact that vaccines dont give kids Autism and the guy who propagated that bullshit has been utterly expelled from the medical community.
Me:
I was referring to the proposed COVID vaccine.
JC:
I wasn’t..
Classic troll!
One of my friends is very distressed by many of his friends calling him conspiracy theorist etc etc, their arrogance! I think we have to move on, find new friends, and not waste our time on brainwashed people. Spend time turning skeptical people into activists. It’s activism that will get us out of this.
That sounds like a very defensive person who is particularly worried that he might be shown to be wrong.
Rarely does one see such determined deceased equine whipping.
Apparently the 2021 World Economic Forum upmarket jamboree will be moved from Davos to Lucerne where the great and good Globalist fascists will convene ‘to design a common recovery path and shape the “Great Reset” in the post-COVID-19 era’.
By this time the Covid-19 melodrama will presumably be deemed to have served its purpose in laying the foundations for a brave new world that nobody wants. (The sheep majority will of course acquiesce, as usual.) All fiendishly clever.

I doubt that they’d be seen dead outside the venue, where free food and drink is no doubt laid on!
Lucerne is a stunningly beautiful place. These WEF thugs definitely have taste when it comes to their choice of conference locations. What a shame that this fine city has to defile itself like this.

WOW!!!!!!
And again, WOW!!!!
So what happened?
LeahBS has been delving into PHE statistics, looking at reports of deaths under the notifiable diseases regulations and thinks she’s found only 13,000+ deaths with/from covid. Asking for people’s help in checking the figures.
Can someone get more info?
I thought it was downgraded from an HCID in March?
Ah, in notifiable not HCID
I’m sure its been mentioned on here before, but on 19 March 2020 Public Health England (PHE) and NHS England decided that Covid-19 was no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
For current status of Covid-19 see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid#status-of-covid-19
I think that might explain why the numbers reported there are so low, but it doesn’t explain the reason behind the change in status of Covid-19 back in March. Can anyone shed any light on that ?
Find some links, let’s have a look at this data.
Odds and ends from the High Peak on Wednesday:
Yesterday, we discovered a very old lady in Morrison’s, sitting down on the other side of the tills, gasping for breath with her mask pulled down under her chin. She told us she couldn’t breathe and I went and got her a Sunflwer lanyard from customer services and I advised her to use it and, for the sake of her health, to lose the mask. There were no cards but I rigged up one of ours, found in AlanG’s wallet. She took it off us but kept pulling her mask up and down, obviously confused and miserable. This is vicious cruelty. Add in Handjob and the MSM’s continuing outrageous lies, threats and fear-porn is it any wonder people are in this terrible state?
At the local food shop, the elderly owner has progressed from a hideous plastic mouth-mask thing, via a visor to no mask at all again in the space of a week His
bedwdandelion son was out so we presume that was why.We ran into 2 people we had thought of as a bit dozy and we’d have had them down as full-on zealots. Not a bit! They’re nearly as bad as we are. He also regaled us with some great stories about when he was a teacher in Runcorn and they used to live near my Grandad in Halton (now swallowed up in the New Town.)
Today, we battled through sideways rain to cycle to Whaley Bridge. One shopkeeper, fairly sceptical told us, with a satirical grin, that ‘it’ is rife in Whaley Bridge. Obviously someone’s tested positive and there has been mass panic. Another local school has sent classes home because one child ‘tested positive’. MW
Last time I heard about Whaley Bridge it was under water,
.
Best place for it?
At the time of the Great Dam Incident in 2019, someone said it should be twinned with Atlanta!
It was a big deal really. The poor buggers lost a week of their lives – little did any of us know!! BJ visited by helicopter and promised to ‘build back better’ (the dam, that is). The reservoir remains empty. MW
Curses! I was eating my tea just now and I had a memory of typing ‘Atlanta’. Bugger – I am now officially senile. Of course, I meant, Whaley Bridge should have been twinned with Atlantis! MW
Any news on the MSM about the Danish mask report? We are having a bit of work done on our bathroom, 3 people called in the other day to check out the job, ‘do you want us to wear masks? no, we said, sigh of relief and grotty snot rags stuffed back in pockets. Then this week we called into the Bathroom showroom/office, still open and busy and discussed tiles and details with 2 of their team again no masks, all quite normal heads together over the plans etc. We then called in to Morrisons for a bit of shopping, mostly all masked up. Something strange going on; the building and practical trades seem to be pretty sceptical about masks and the virus.
Agreed. Face masks are vicious cruelty. I have to bite my tongue when I see parents that have muzzled their young children. It’s child abuse
Unless many more people wake up the globalists will win and we will be in lockdown, muzzled and enslaved forever more.
Ruled over by invisible people who do whatever whilst we have few freedoms.
I am angry today.
No – I believe they are acting from weakness.
The use of coercion is a sign that other methods of control are breaking down.
I agree! They know the game is up.
I believe it was Hannah Arendt who concluded from her study of history that coercive regimes are in fact very weak and usually fail in a relatively short time frame. Strong regimes don’t require such tactics.
Today’s figures for new hospital admissions, including the 20% to 25% coming from elsewhere in the hospital. We should see the step change down in that imminently, well it just looks like more of the same to me.
The total number in hospital is creeping up as well but pretty much as you might expect for respirtory disease in autumn. Altogether ‘ain’t nothing shaking but the leaves on the tree’ despite all the scare stories the NHS is doing OK, you would expect it to be a bit busy in Autumn/Winter. So NHS OK, deaths not wildly out of line with the average and any excess is more a result of lock-downj than an effect of Covid.
To my mind that = no emergency and no need for any Covid Public Health action by Statutory Instruments, that is the core of my message to my MP and others but I do not expect anobody will take any notice of me.
Today’s deaths, more of the same.
If the government is stupid enough to ban social mixing after the 2nd December, I honestly believe many people will simply ignore the instruction. The opinion polls may show a majority in favour of lockdown, but the situation on the ground tells a different story. We’ve all seen lots of people out and about and a lot of traffic on the road. In many crucial respects the law implementing the second lockdown has simply become a dead letter. It seems the cabinet is so out of touch it has no inkling the Conservative Party is now a long way down the road to self-destruction.
The opinion polls are actually the government’s opinion.
Correct.
Opinion polls are merely another form of gaslighting the media and government use to further their agenda.
Unsourced shaming anecdotes about someone’s grandmother dying horribly are another popular media gaslighting technique.
I wish it were so
I’m sure a lot of people are ignoring the lockdown as private citizens, but businesses and other venues are still closed and there’s not much to do
Businesses have a lot more to lose and are more likely to be targeted by law enforcement – also private citizens can behave as their consciences dictate while businesses, particularly large businesses, have to cater to more people including the frightened , the conformist and the brain dead and thus go for the so called safest common denominator
An unpleasant situation
That’s the problem we have.Small business should just open up.They are going to die anyway.Might as well go down fighting
Quite. I just want to go to the fucking pub.

Having read an earlier post of yours I worry you may be close to despair. I understand, believe me. This may not interest you but a source of courage for me in this time of trial has been the beautiful words and mind of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
A man cursed and kicked, despised, reviled, abused, tortured and spat on, exiled and humiliated. And who never once bowed his head. Who composed incomparable books on scraps of old rags in filthy gulag camps and presented them eventually to the world as a testament of truth, beauty and human dignity. He lived to see the machine that did all these things to him lying in the dirt, a broken ruin.
I hope you can find courage my friend. I wish you well.

A major justification for lockdown is that covid is highly contagious. We are told covid and other respiratory disease are passed on when people spread infectious droplets by coughing, sneezing or talking. Are there tests available to see if people are producing infectious droplets eg mouth swabs or breathing onto something and testing the saliva. If these tests are available why are they not being done if we are really in a pandemic. Myself and others have raised the issue if covid is so infectious why is necessary to resort to intrusive tests to find the virus when the virus should be easy to find if someone is highly infectious.
That’s a critical point that keeps their narrative going, we overlook it.
Desmond Swayne MP on Dan Wooton’s Talk Radio prog. Very good. He may have the whiff of the saloon bar orator about him but his views are refreshingly direct. His opposition to lockdown is principled. If onky there were a few more like him in Parliament!
Ian Duncan Smith on Julia Hartley Brewer was great as well .
He was terrible. He’s in favour of masks, social distancing and vaccines, the tier system.
Reset, reset, everywhere – NHS RESET – not a conspiracy theory.
NHS Reset is an NHS Confederation campaign to shape what the health and care system should look like in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
…. it aims to:
NHS Reset is part funded through sponsorship by Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited.

I couldn’t be bothered to read all the guff in the various documents but it’s all here if you can face it:

They should reset it by closing the fucking thing down. It’s not fit for purpose.

‘the major innovations that have been delivered’
Like not providing healthcare?
Close it down. Burn every hospital to the ground. Incarcerate every single doctor and nurse who collaborated for the rest of their lives.
You couldn’t make it up! You could throw it up but you couldn’t make it up…
This is the NHS that failed to plan and prepare for a pandemic, emptied its hospitals in a panic, refused to treat aged Covid patients, that saw no irony in large teams of medics having nothing better to do than devise Tik Tok dance routines, has accepted lockdown deaths with total insouciance, and has lied, lied and lied agajn about pressure on hospital bed spaces.
No wonder people stopped clapping. No one believes the propaganda anymore – not even those who want to believe it.
Is this satire?
I don’t want anything to do with the NHS. I used to trust in our health service. Now it is a vile scary murderous beast supervised by evil brianwashed idiots. I will never trust the NHS again.
I just hope I don’t get ill.
Much to talk about again, and hopefully I will get through it all before I get too tired.
Report 1
First our own emotions and using them to empower us:
During last night I was woken up by screaming, lots of screaming which disturbed me from deep sleep. Wondering where the screaming is coming from …. and discover it’s coming from me. It’s me screaming about the hellhole we are in already, and the vastly worse to come.
So yes I am terrified, I am absolutely terrified and so should we all be because it’s the opposite of complacency, it’s the correct emotional response to what is happening. But use that terror, not to cower, not to freeze in a corner – but to FIGHT. Fight back, even if we feel like a mouse fighting for survival against a leopard, that’s what a cornered animal does in the final resort, it doesn’t freeze, it fights.
Right, today – I managed to get out of the station without a meltdown – you may remember I have a SERIOUS lifelong mask-phobia. I imagined I was on a wobbly plank crossing a stream, and to get out I just had to focus on the plank, walk fast, and almost run over the danger. Worked a treat. Thankfully my legs were functional today so I could walk fast.
Next, meet up with a ‘sceptic’ called Graham, more in later report.
So Graham and I are walking along in central London, and it’s a very wide paved area, and we are walking straight along quietly chatting. Now a couple are coming along nearly towards us, at an angle, paths would not have crossed by a good 4m. Small, 60-ish, Chinese by looks, heavily muzzled.
Then the male alters his path so that he is heading directly towards me. He’s using body language to make himself look as big as possible, and he’s clapping, big wide loud claps aimed at me – plague, plague, danger danger.
I got out my finger and I told him, “You stop that at once. Stop. stop right now and you never do that to anyone again.” he did, and when they came past us again he heard it all from me again. Soon after that we were waiting at pedestrian lights and a lot of people were able to hear and so I told them they should take their masks off because they breed bacteria and make them ill, all the waste products they breath out going back in again and back up to their brains.
One of them started to lecture me so I just said. “Use your critical faculties. Ask questions. You have a brain, you use your own brain.”
And then there were some more maskoids (most were, out in the fresh air) and I started lecturing them as well and even the odd swear word crept out – it’s the need to establish where my personal limits to behaviour are, now that all the old mores have been trashed.
Later visited another friend for lunch and asked Was I wrong? He told me ‘No you weren’t but don’t make a habit of it.’ …. something like that, apparently the phrase comes from an old film, something to do with a black widow spider.
Fabulous work, what a warrior.
Every single one of the mask wearers are our deadly enemy. Forget the government and MSM, these fuckheads are the sole reason we are in this mess. I sincerely hope they all suffer terribly, and I firmly believe that by lining up for the vaccine they will be securing this fate for themselves.
I wish I had just a smidgen of your fire Rosie…hot damn we need people like you by the thousands!
LOL – poor Graham standing next to me …. but it’s infectious you know …
I go to central London every Wednesday is anyone wants to join me!
Eddie and I are in Canada, so it would be a long trip to come and help you. But I so admire everything you’re doing Rosie!!!
Thanks Lisa – and hi to Eddie
Vallance is looking more Unbalanced by the day, with his exponential super-duper multiplying caseload and deaths refusing to materialise. Still, it was only a projection, it’s not like we based any life-changing policy on it or anything like that, so never mind.
He’s got his shares to think of
I think we have some Graphodisiacs here:

I hope everyone is aware of the ‘great reset’, agenda 2021, 2030 and ‘The fourth industrial revolution’ as set out by the World Economic Forum.
Are we not seeing those plans being implemented before our eyes in plain sight for all those with eyes to see?
The Great Reset has a dress code too

The Masque of the Red Death, by Edgar Allan Poe – summarised.
A deadly plague was raging through the land. The ruler Prince Prospero gathered a thousand of his friends, and they locked themselves into the palace, with servants, entertainers, and several months’ supply of food and wine. Here they could ignore the outside world while devoting themselves to revelry.
One evening a magnificent masked ball was held. Just before midnight a mysterious figure was seen with the appearance of a plague victim. This was a step too far. The prince angrily confronted the figure, but fell dead at its feet. His horrified friends rushed to the figure and removed its mask, to reveal – nothing! One by one they too fell, until all were dead.
Masques and lockdowns don’t work.
Went into Town today to shop and to do some banking. First time in my bank (Yorkshire) for a while and and of course I was unmasked. Cashier was wearing a fetching pink eye level mask behind a screen and I pushed my envelope under it and said ‘I’d like to pay in this cheque please and could you please give me some pound coins for this bag of change. ‘Of course….. did you know that you can deposit cheques in an envelope, without queuing, and that would save you time?’ ‘But there’s no queue’ I responded ‘and besides, I like the personal touch and the more people who bypass the cashiers the more chance of closing the branch’. ‘Bit late for that’ came the bombshell reply, ‘this branch is closing early next year, we only found out yesterday, so we’ll all be out of a job’. ‘So you’ve spent the last couple of years encouraging customers to use internet banking, pay in cheques in an envelope and generally avoid any interaction with a human being and now you’re out of a job—seems to me that you’ve been more than a spectator at your own execution’?
Actually, I didn’t say that last sentence…it was just what I thought. What I did say was this ‘I’m so disappointed, why is the branch closing and what will you do?’. I don’t know what I will do but they tell us the branch is closing because of Covid. Covid is keeping everybody at home and they don’t need our branch any more.
Well Yorkshire bank (which is now transmogrifying into Virgin money) rather than say you just want to close the branch in your never ending search for increased profits, and to hell with any kind of decent customer centred service, you just say ‘we’re closing because of Covid’. The sad irony to this is that there will be very many who believe all this Sh*t including some of your own staff who will now join the ranks of the struggling millions at the mercy of the worst British government ever.
Covid 19—disaster capitalism writ large….believe it!
What a shame about Yorkshire Bank
Anyway, this here Great Green Reset, beloved of Charlie-Boy and now the Covidiot-in-Chief (BJ): How does it work? Cars will be phased out (except for what’s left of the moneyed classes’ electric variety.) Meanwhile, they have totalled the public transport we’re all supposed to be using: the buses ride round empty apart from a few zombies and the privatised train companies are all on life-support with the money going straight to their shareholders. London Transport is bankrupt. We’ve got new cycle lanes in the near-empty towns and cities (killed off by no-end-in-sight lockdowns), causing congestion where cars still travel and HS2 is still going ahead, linking nowhere to nowhere.
The roads round here are at least as congested as ever and I know of people who have actually recently bought cars in order to live their lives. When those left alive are herded into ‘smart’ cities, will we then be riding around on lovely new trains and buses in our brave New Normal lives, showing our Covi-Passes to prove our ‘healthiness’ and paying with digital money out of our subsistence-level UBI? Is that what the WEF and their puppets mean?
Fat Boy is promising up to 100,000 new jobs (yes, that’s right!) in the brave New Normal wind farms or whatever and of course carbon capture will suddenly start to work after decades of failure. Gas heaters will be phased out – after all, we don’t want Russian gas do we, not when we’ll have solar panels or maybe a fag, sorry, vape, to keep us warm? The oceans will be crystal clear again and full of wildlife, once they’ve been cleansed of the trillions of fish-killing single-use muzzles full of nano-particles and those ‘hygienic’ plastic aprons and visors. I’m not seeing any end to the mask and wasteful unnecessary non-clinical ‘PPE’ mandates in sight either so this might take a while….
Whatever one’s views on climate change, and in my case I’m coming round to the view that it may well have been mis-sold, it’s been obvious for years that personal car use was eventually going to be phased out and become an unaffordable luxury for most. Ditto flying but, don’t worry, the ‘elite’ will still have private jets. Fossils fuels are not infinite and pollution and waste is a real issue, whatever the truth about carbon emissions.
Wouldn’t it have made sense to start decades ago, sorting out grown-up policies like making public transport ubiquitous, affordable and clean instead of pricing it out of everyone’s pockets and driving more people into cars? I know people who would not use a bus if Hell had them – far too demeaning! Couldn’t we have pursued achievable Zero Waste policies? Some faint-hearted starts were made but have gone nowhere, now they’re in the dustbin with all the other rubbish we’re producing at an ever-faster rate.
What about politics? Capitalism is not in itself evil but unbridled bent, crony capitalism surely is. Inequality has never been starker and it is becoming clearer that the 99% is fast becoming 99.99% and is rapidly including most of us in the ‘rich’ west as our livelihoods are trashed and siphoned into the bottomless jaws of the GloboCaps (or Marxists if you think Charlie’s One of Them.) For the poorest in the world, the devastation caused by lockdowns is unimaginable and on its way here.
One of the main advantages of Brexit would have been the end of the CAP but the new plans for agriculture make the EU look almost sensible: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/landmark-agriculture-bill-becomes-law
‘The funds released as a result of the phasing out of the legacy Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) will be re-invested into a roll out of our future farming policy, which will be centred around support aimed at incentivising sustainable farming practices, creating habitats for nature recovery and supporting the establishment of new woodland and other ecosystem services to help tackle challenges like climate change.’
After all this time, we’re now expected to believe that suddenly we’re on the verge of catastrophe; who knew? AND IT’S ALL OUR FAULT! If ‘the Covid’ hadn’t presented the psychos-in-charge with this great opportunity, we would obviously have destroyed the planet by next year and become extinct. At least the vaccine/s might help boost another plank of the Great Reset: massive and rapid population reduction of the plebs so they can enjoy an almost empty planet, all to themselves.
I heard someone say recently that in Star Trek, the Klingon ship always had to de-cloak before it attacked. As someone who has never bought the global ‘cock-up’ theory of CV19 fascism, I think, with all the world’s leaders and even the NHS bandying around terms like ‘reset’ and ‘build back better’ that is exactly what we’re witnessing.
We are under attack so what are we going to do? MW
Dear Mr Johnson. Thank you for promising 100,000 new jobs. It goes someway to make up for the millions of jobs your stupidity has lost. You utter bellend.
Quite, but it’s not stupidity. MW
Indeed. We can also rule out it being leadership or courage. Quite honestly how he has not been taken apart by someone by now I don’t know. He’s had less stick than Teresa May.
Fight back
Honestly we’re doing our best, talking, giving out information, trying to persuade people to lose the masks. BTW, you are doing a brilliant job! MW
This is what Lord (Nigel) Lawson, ex Chancellor of the Exchequer thinks!
What would test the genuineness of the ‘Save the Planet’ elite would be a form of taxation of income and capital that imposed the same relative penalties on the wealthy as on those with ordinary incomes and resources. Thus their total charges per unit of (whatever) would be proportionate to their resources.
The resources could then be recycled for the common good that they are so keen on
I reckon we’d see true principle at that point.
The foundations of billionaires (possibly trillionaires) (such as the Rockefeller, Rothschild, Soros, Gates …) come up with these grand plans for a Great Reset without ever thinking about consulting normal citizens.
It really is a complete scam to control us further. These people exploited the worlds resources and destroyed the environment to make their fortunes, yet keep the proceeds and make us suffer.
I think we can finally discount incompetence as the primary mover behind this;as the government role out their wonderful green new deal.The lockdowns etc are a dry run on how to run a zero carbon economy.The vaccine and digital passport will be used to counter any opposition to this insanity.Many more of us are going to find ourselves in inessential occupations and we will have to go cap in hand to the government even to eat.
This is the future unless we change it.
Eat the government. Sorted.
Incompetence and stupidity are the primary movers.
Jonathan, the green nonsense was in the Tory Party manifesto at the last election.

Just been to a local chippy.
Whilst Mrs Doubting was getting the chips I nipped across the road to the pharmacy to see what treatment they recommended for this deadly virus.
I went in and asked what they recommend for someone with symptoms, the first thing they said was is it me who has the symptoms? No it is a friend, well they should stay home & isolate, I said but what treatment should they take, they have a new dry cough, well they can suck some throat pastels! Pointing a the tins of travel sweets. When I asked if that would stop a deadly virus it was suggested they could also take paracetamol.
I bet even our beloved NHS could manage that.
You can get probably get a ventilator on Ebay now for a few quid.

Hi. My name’s Covid-19. I just want to reassure you all that I too will be seeing my family (the Pathogens) over Xmas, so I won’t disturb your celebrations.
However, I will be taking my 4,000 a day once it’s over as I follow the Science.
It’s ‘The Science™️‘
This is such an intelligent virus, far more intelligent than any of our parliamentarians (with a very few exceptions, who we all recognise).
It has a watch, it has a calendar, it knows if someone is eating or just drinking.
I’ll pass that on to Covid-19.

The Danish Mask Study Published:
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
So they have almost no effect.
Unless you re-define what is statistically significant, as it appears the authors were forced to do in order to get the study published.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately due to the large group but low numbers positive, the confidence interval is fairly wide and this feels less than conclusive. However it seems in the range we would’ve expected for surgical masks and proper usage. Wish we had data for cloth masks too but then I guess it’s hard to define what that is.
This piece in OffGuardian. I earnestly counsel a read.
https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/17/covid19-evidence-of-global-fraud/
Hi,
I just read this and although I am not surprised I am still a bit blown away. This needs to be widely circulated.
I am sending to my network.
Thanks
Some of it familiar and it gets a little overheated towards the end unfortunately, which does the earlier very well made case no favours but hey.
Some interesting stuff, but does including ATGC sequences or demanding isolation of pure virus help the argument? Think these questions are all worth asking but this goes a little OTT in places.
THIS PAPER WON’T CHANGE ANYTHING… It’s simply just another funny confirmation that muzzles don’t work… I’m sorry slaves! Masks don’t work… better now.
Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers
source
I agree that it won’t change anything, likely because of the way the authors were forced to “massage” the conclusions in order to get published. So this sticks out at me — no reduction at conventional levels of statistical significance.
“a recommendation to wear a surgical mask when outside the home among others did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, incident SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with no mask recommendation.”
I’ll bet the authors had to add this in order to get the study published. Then they had to water it down by adding a possible reduction in infection…assuming you accept non-conventional levels of statistical significance.
“Although no statistically significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 incidence was observed, the 95% CIs are compatible with a possible 46% reduction to 23% increase in infection among mask wearers.”
What a hijacking of science. I took graduate level statistics and I know data can be manipulated to reach a certain conclusion, but this is a manipulation not of the data but of the definition of statistical significance itself. “The Science” will not save us.
Actual UK COVID-19 Fatalities in November 2020 vs Fatalities predicted by Models
+ve numbers indicate that the model overestimates
-ve numbers indicate that the model under estimates
As of 13 November all models overestimate some vastly
Some by thousands
Data from government sources via the Spectator Covid tracker – https://data.spectator.co.uk/
All of the models overestimate by some margin
I and others can post evidence graphs until we turn blue – fat load of good it does to convince a public that does not want to hear that they have been duped
“Warwick Upper” seems to be missing.
Even when they were presented, the models weren’t even reflecting over all what the situation was on that day. If Whitty and Valance were selling used cars they’d be called crooked.
Much that’s for putting this up
Angry this evening because some fucking twat got themselves tested positive at my daugter’s school in Leeds. Now both my grandsons are to miss out on two weeks professional education.
You said it.
What idiots get tested if there’s nothing wrong with them?
My brother in law (69), his partner (65) and family were tested positive for Covid a few weeks ago and have just finished “self isolation”, he feels a “bit rough”, his partner is going back to work next Monday and the rest of the family is absolutely fine.
Hardly the end of the world is it?
Hardly a reason to destroy people’s lives and their futures
I am starting to feel as much ire towards anyone getting themselves tested as I have for the mask wearers. They too are collaborators. I don’t give a fuck if it was a requirement of their job. They should tell their employers to fuck off.
A bit hard to tell your employer to F off if you have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay – employers abusing their staff can get away with a lot in the current climate
And it will be even harder to feed said family and pay said mortgage when your job has gone (never to return), the currency is permanently devalued and you are terminally ill after your tenth mRNA vaccine in five years.
All because no one pushed back.
Hear, hear! Our daughter doesn’t even have that excuse. She panicked and created her very own ‘test-demic’. As a result of this, 4 people out of 7 in one extended family ‘tested positive’. None of them had anything more than a bad cold (which was what it almost certainly was) but it created total mayhem for an awful lot of people in their social/school circle.
We are really cross with her but she feels so abject about it we had to hold back a bit. The only funny bit is we were in close contact with her the day before her son ‘tested positive’ and we old dears with underlying health conditions got. . . . .nothing! MW
Sorry, Richard – but that’s just empty fairy fart stuff. These are real people with real jobs subject to a massive brainwashing campaign. Turning things round isn’t going to happen by virtue signalling.
You could argue that submitting yourself to testing is virtue signalling.
And given the consequences of continued compliance, without active pushback in this area we are all lost.
I sort of think those going for tests when not seriously ill are worse than mask wearers. Obviously it’s tricky if told to do so by your employer. The false positives/ asymptomatic etc are partly keeping this going. Today through a relative I heard of 3 families all in self isolation for one daft reason or another. One teenager felt tired so went for a test and came up positive. Now a family of 4 are isolating.
I agree, my daughter missed a week of school because of her friend’s positive PCR test. The girl’s symptoms? She felt a bit dizzy. She caused her whole class to be off, the whole bus and anyone she interacted with at the bus bay. Madness.
Our daughter tested ‘positive’ on just over a week ago. She was out running last weekend. MW
We rest our case.
Were they on ventilators?
Not often I watch the local TV news…jaw just hit the floor when a journalist suggested that if we all obey the Covid rules then the surgeons transferred to virus duty will be able to get back to doing cancer operations..in other words the non compliant are responsible for cancer deaths as well as the Covid ones!!! Perhaps I’m going mad or it’s all a dream…
Er, I doubt surgeons would be treating covid patients…
Very sensible and valid point. You are not fit for a career in journalism.
Perhaps not but the jist of the report was that cancer treatments have been cancelled because resources have been utilised to deal with Covid…
So they’ve made a decision to prioritise one set of lives and one cause of death over another? Presumably there’s a pretty big set of calculations and an impact assessment to go with that, proving that more lives will be saved…
Sadly, I know of at least one (a heart surgeon I think) who was diverted to ICU work in April from their normal duties. Not sure if they’re still there.
They’re not journalists
More of the same. Blaming the young, blaming the victims of Gov’t psychopathic cruelty
If only Neil Ferguson, Tony Blair, Jeremy Corbyn and SNP MPs followed the rules instead of breaking them
Yet again, the fallacy of perfect compliance. In a society of 67 million people it is impossible to achieve total uniformity on anything. Not even ignorance.
The idiotic top public health doctor in our county is on the record saying that even if 10-15% of people didn’t wear masks it wouldn’t change anything. I came across this same stupid nonsense in a story that ran yesterday on kids not getting the surgeries they need, particularly those that are time/developmentally sensitive. It’s all because of the 2 people in Ontario who don’t wear masks — trust me, compliance here couldn’t be higher so I have no idea what these morons are thinking.
Neil Ferguson breaking lockdown rules by secretly seeing his married lover set the template
Wet roads cause rain…
Apparently if a dozen more Tory MPs join the CRG faction and vote against severe restrictions post December 2, the idiot Johnson would need to rely on the idiot Starmer to implement a lockdown 3. This would look very bad politically and might even prove his undoing, so he’d be unlikely to go on with it.
My MP is firmly onside and I strongly suggest that all here write to their MP, especially if a Tory, to point out that anyone voting in favour of further restrictions based on doctored and unreliable evidence, faulty tests riddled with false positives and hysterical input from SAGE, is unworthy to sit in the House and will not receive your vote again. MPs in marginal seats will get scared if their in-trays are stuffed with angry sceptics’ emails. But don’t be abusive, or the moral high ground is lost.
I have been listening to and looking at any advert which has anything related to cv19…
Cold & flu remedies, PPE, shops which are working to keep us safe etc. etc.
Not a single advert mentions cv19, it is all implied but not mentioned by name. As if the advertising standards would be knocking on the door if the word was mentioned.
Has anyone seen anything which claims to protect against cv19?
domestos
Dominoes?
Drink Domestos to protect others.
If the zombies drank Domestos, it certainly would have a wonderfully protective effect on the rest of us.
A brain?
Indeed.
Before Mutt Hancock gets too carried away with the idea of imposing the Covid vaccination on everyone, the WHO has a fact sheet on Human Rights and Health which states that people have “the right to control one’s health and body…and to be free from interference”. Similarly, the UN Commission for Human Rights fact sheet on The Right to Health states that people have “the right to be free from non-consensual medical treatment, such as medical experiments and research”. So hands off!
The pro-vaxxers will then come along with that guff about how a vaccination protects other people as well as yourself.
The vaccine either offers protection or it doesn’t.
Except read a letter in bmj today that in the trials 256 people have to have the vaccine to protect just 1 person. I need to research some more but it clearly implies its remote that you will be protecting anyone.
Someone had a good comeback the other day, on the subject about protecting others, – so would they advocate every single person on a dating site (or app) submit to a sexual history check and complete regular STD screening? or is that discriminatory and invasive?
Since there are few of us and many collaborators, we need to use our guile and cunning and intelligence. Now, masks impose enormous harm, so whose responsibility is it when they are imposed on employees or school children?
Seems the gov have wriggled out of this one by ensuring they issue ‘guidance’ not ‘laws’. This of course plays into our hands. Here is a report from someone in UsForThem who had a meeting with his child’s school and discovered this:
School in Amersham recently.
The important points are this:
Headmaster has discretion. According to government guidelines “school
leaders are best placed to make judgements”. They are therefore fully
responsible and fully liable for any potential harm arising from the
measures they implement.
Now there are many schools in Britain but not too many for the few of us. The duty of care, the formal responsibility for risk assessments etc. There’s no need to prove any ‘science’ merely to start asking where the risk assessment is. That would be the head and the board of governors.
What do you guys think?
can we devise a standard letter that people can use for their school, church (HO and individual), shops, etc? Today an employee of Holland & Barrett begged me to write to the head office and take up the issue with them.
This surely is something serious and significant that we here can do ….. many keep asking, what can we do? Let’s do this.
Agreed. masks have recently been mandated at my workplace for use outside (not just restricted to the office). I’ve questioned this as it isn’t even government guidance and have requested to see their risk assessments for all relevant tasks being carried out on site on which mask use would impact.
That was asked 2 weeks ago….crickets so far. However, there have been talk of concessions for certain activities outside and also passing of the buck to contractors by suggesting its their responsibility to assess risks to their staff while on site.
Its interesting as it seems the legal implications can just be kicked around from person to person. With no individual company willing to stick their neck out and challenge the over arching policy.
That’s why I’m thinking we can go for individuals one at a time.
Have they followed their own procedures?
Have they done a risk assessment?
Are they aware of their personal duty of care?
This legal principle is foundational and surely no court would chuck it out – not until we are gone full China.
So we have ‘use it or lose it’. Let’s use it, double quick.
Agreed. I find if you can tie the health and safety team in knots without them going ‘full retard’ with additional restrictions then you’re probably on to a winner.
What I’ve noticed seems to happen is management panic over the risk of potential liable issue and go running straight to H+S. Health and safety having absolutely no idea about the real world but wanting to be seen to have an actual use, come up with some harebrained scheme to calm the managers concerns.
Unfortunately the schemes proposed very rarely translate well into the real world and hay presto we have a full on $hit show of ineptitude.
As you’ve quite rightly pointed out this leaves them very open to actual direct pushback as its not very often H+S have thought outside their own little bubble.
It would certainly be possible to tie any school in knots by requiring a risk assessment – which assessment would logically lead to the abandonment of masks, given the available evidence.
However, I reckon that head teachers are not the main problem. I reckon that there would be massive pressure for masks by a substantial body of parents who are quite convinced that their kids need to be abused.
Yes, if that truly is the case then we’ve lost it, and it’s why I keep saying that we need feet on the ground, one-to-one campaigning. TO collect more activists to turn the tide.
But in the mean time, still use this route to try to frighten the schools.
I will never shop in Holland and Barrett again..
I will not be treated like a leper or a biohazard
I think a standard letter would be good, I spoke to a parent today whose daughter’s school have mandated masks in the classroom. I suggested that she ask the Head if they have done a risk assessment- I’m pretty sure they won’t have!
I have written to my daughter’s school twice asking for risk assessment in regards to masks in corridors.
First time they replied saying they were following government advice.
They just ignore my second email.
Suggest you write to the board of governors next.
Do a paper printed letter and take it in and ask them to sign it that they have received it.
To the school head teacher by name, and the governors all by name.
Yes, and/or Julie, have your solicitor send the third letter.
Thank you for advice, Rosie
I will do that.
We have a group of parents who are launching a class action suit against the school boards for forcing masks on kids below grade 4. Even our stupid government guidance is grades 4 and up, so these boards went above and beyond the recommendation.

I would guess that the schools are taking the position that they’re at risk by not mandating masks and they’re at risk by mandating them, but the vast majority of parents think masks are just dandy. So long as schools feel at risk from both ends, they’ll unfortunately defer to the majority. The fact parents are happy muzzling their children all day at school mystifies me, but such is the world in which we find ourselves.
That is exactly what is happening but a lot of it relates to keeping the teachers happy, which is actually 99% of running a school, entitled twats that they are.
Well done you. According to Dr Reiner Fuellmich, the legal remedy of a class action no longer exists in Britain, but what can be done is an individual case of a child who has been harmed by them. The more such cases the merrier.
The lawyers in Germany are doing all this pro bono and putting their lives on the line. They put our lawyers to shame. Where are they?
Wholeheartedly! Urgent, important..vital. I mooted the notion with my partner, and we kind of agreed. However, I for one would welcome a well written, polite and pointed(about repercussions inter alia!) template to deliver as parents to the schools in question. Where can we track any developments of this idea, please?
Don’t forget, a blanket delivery could trigger a blanket response, after all.
Well, I’m already embroiled in debate with UsForThem and I’m not sure if they’ll want to hear more from me – perhaps you might approach ?

just gone back to the factory this week (uk automaker) and you need face covering when moving around or on the track but not sat at your desk, but im going to be fair here, there is pritty much universal uptake as expected, but face shields are prefered, and any old face shield will do, the cheap 1 pound jobbies from amazon seem to be the prefered choice by the workers on track, with the eye section cut out. Most of the masks are worn below the nose and buffs etc are also prevalent. People are doing what is ness to earn their living but clearly no one gives a toss, and management are not enforcing with any gusto.
Went for a walk here in Lisbon. There were many more out on the streets mask-free than there have been in recent days. Very good looking people as well. So I suppose that the not so good looking will cling to the mask.
I’m as ugly as they come but I still don’t want to wear a face nappy.
This is an often overlooked point.
Do the mask wearers realise how grotesque they are, both in appearance and demeanour?
Has the court decision had a general effect on people making a choice ?
Hopefully – and followed by a domino effect.
I think it must have. The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, said Lucretius. In this case though I think the cynical herd animals are simply awaiting the split in the herd and then they will run in a different direction. The same old story.
I have thought that Boris horrendous gnashers probably ought to be covered up. You’d have thought he would have sorted his teeth by now!
Has anyone been walking in the more remote areas of the Derbyshire Peak District since the new lockdown came into effect? I am thinking of areas such as Bleaklow, Kinder Scout etc.
Many people enjoying freedom?
I know Derbyshire police was particularly keen during the first lockdown, I remember seeing people being asked on HoudKkrk why they were out.
For my mental health I need to get out and get serious exercise and fresh air, I will take my chances of getting a fine, I am now at the point where going to court to defend my actions would add a bit of joy to my current life.
No problems from what we’ve seen. I very much doubt that you will see any police up there, not after they made such idiots of themselves back in March and got bollocked by Lord Sumsion among others.. But, if you see 2 old buggers who are just happening to walk in the general vicinity of a younger woman and a boy at any point in the next week, it just might a couple of regular LSs, no names, no pack-drill. But say hello! MW
Went there during the first lockdown and no problems – so I would think it’s fine
I tend to walk the most remote parts of the high peak, never seen a pig up there ever. If I see one of their drones up there this weekend, I’ll bury it in the peat bog.
I spent a lot of time walking, camp cooking and meditating in the first lockdown in Sherwood Forest (I live near there). Felt sorry for the poor bastards in the London parks being accosted by the filth for simply trying to enjoy the fresh air. I was actually hoping to come across the police in the forest so I could re-enact the first Rambo film.
Get a load of this! It’s all over bar the shouting!
The Telegraph (paywall):
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/11/18/uk-researchers-develop-nasal-spray-protects-against-covid/
The University of Birmingham has developed a formula that catches the virus in the nose and then encapsulates it in a viscous coating from which it cannot escape to cause infection. It means the virus would be harmless if it entered the respiratory tract and safe for a person to breathe out because it would already be inactive even if inhaled by another person.
Wow!
However, the researchers stressed that hand-washing remained important because Covid could still be picked up through touch.
“Products like these don’t replace existing measures such as mask-wearing and hand-washing, which will continue to be vital to preventing the spread of the virus,” added Dr Moakes. “What this spray will do, however, is add a second layer of protection to prevent and slow virus transmission.”
Oh dear!
So it’s a waste of bloody time, then.
And incidentally, just heard the TV in the background – a reporter on North East Tonight just started his report by proclaiming “face masks save lives” (a report about the adverse effects of face nappies on deaf people).
I have faith in “First Defense” nasal spray if I think I might have been “EXPOSED” to an old school cold virus. I actually think it works really well.
I can’t see why a similar nasal spray wouldn’t be effective against covids.
Good old First Defense. Used to use it religiously before long hauls or in fact short flights as well. Its the wasps nipples.
Yes. This ‘nasal spray’ being proffered might well be an upgraded affair, for the time of covid. A full list of ingredients will surely be required?
It’s probably got a bit of Cilit-Bang in it.
Bang and the virus is dead!
I hope it mixes as well with in flight vodka like the original did….
So your nose is full of viscous virus.
Next step?
They could never prove that any individual snuffed it because anybody else wasn’t wearing a face nappy.
They could try comparing a nappied community with a similar non-nappied one over time, but they won’t because they know perfectly well what the result would be. No bloody difference.
Facts don’t seem to matter anymore to these people, though, do they? Only feelings.
Surely, they just have to take covid off the notifiable diseases list and the problem will instantly be solved.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1361739/coronavirus-lockdown-latest-covid19-infection-statistics-november-18-daily-deaths -isn’t that the issue -it could be lockdown or it could be the natural curve of any pandemic going down. How can it be shown either way?
Cases began to level off before the tiers were introduced, and fall from the week ending the 23rd October nearly two weeks before this unnecessary lockdown. They will keep falling as well. The shithouses will then try and claim they have “beaten” the virus but we have reached community immunity in most of the country, imho.
More crap.
‘Infections’ = PCR+ results – which aren’t infections – let alone illness.
Deaths are actually rising … but in line with the normal pattern for the time of year. Real Covid is a minor cause.
Certainly no evidence of any lockdown effect.

This is interesting
Croatia. No lockdowns. No curfew. Reduced masks in shops.Neighbouring Slovenia and Hungary mask mandate, full lockdown and curfews. The border Slovenia Croatia full of Slovenes going to Croatia.Three neighbour countries ,the same seasonal curve C-19 and C-19 deaths.
Once more the example that NPI has no effects at all.
I’m not seeing many people, surprise surprise, but of those few I do meet the overwhelming majority are saying they will see who they want when they want. It’s very reassuring. Sadly we are still hamstrung by those activities not open to us because the businesses would face hefty fines or permanent loss of licence.
Any true Conservative members of parliament reading this and other blogs must know that this has to stop. Not for Christmas, not on 2nd December but NOW.
Tell the PM to get a grip or remove him. The people of the UK deserve much better than this.
Are the rest of the Tories waiting until Johnson and his cartel have bankrupted the country before stepping in?
Shithouses
No they are bankrupting the western economies so that the globalists can then start to hand out money to 6uild 6ack 6etter, but only doing as the 1% want.
The green agenda is already starting to show itself, ie no more new internal combustion powered vehicles after 2030, talk of mileage charge for road users (bike and walkers excluded).
I think very few individuals will be allowed personal powered transportation, I think it will be public transport, on your bike or walk for the vast majority. Buying a car as we do now will probably not be an option.
People need to wake up.How much new electrical generating capacity will be needed to power all these electric cars.We will already face a shortfall as our Nuclear power stations reach the end of their life and perfectly good coal generating power stations have been destroyed .Its logical that car ownership will be only for the rich.
It also leaves the country open to invasion.
That was fine when people worked in the same town as they lived and there were loads of subsidised local buses. There were also local shops within easy walking distance before the supermarkets killed them off.
Can’t imagine how the proles are going to get to work!
I don’t think any of them want what will be a seriously poisoned chalice.
Maybe. Then things literally can only get better…
The only Governor left in the States worthy of the name.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/south-dakota-gov-noem-refuses-enforce-biden-mask-mandate-citing-lack-authority
DeSantis in Florida is pretty good as well.
Fair point, although unlike Noem he ordered a shelter in place and mandated masks. He has since recanted, very honourably too.
There was a disgraceful hit piece on Governor Noem in the Spectator by their resident Covidista Simon Clarke the other day. Even a search for her name brings up a mountain of slanderous, lying bile. I HATE the mainstream scum media.
She could be a very strong candidate for President in 2024.
Providing of course that the Global Demoncunts haven’t dismantled the Constitution along with everything else by then.
Evening all. I feel truly invigorated! After my State Mandated Hate Hour (Well, actually, 20 minutes of screaming at the TV during BBC parliament Cov update while having dinner) a wave of complete euphoria has washed over me. I can truly recommend this to everyone.
Just away to clean up the 3mt radius spray of food bits now.
I will say this though and at risk of losing my mojo.. If I hear one more thing that our hard working ‘heros’ are going to get free or discounted, parking, shite at Morrisons, discount private health, whatever, I don’t think I’m going to be responsible for my actions…
Thanks for the laugh and imagery of the 3 metre radius of food bits.
People in the most secure jobs in the country getting freebies and handouts (including a discount on vaping supplies at a local vaping shop) while across the country businesses close their doors forever and unemployment soars. It really is a religion.
Ask yourself though can Morrison’s survive with just NHS customers?
The CS Lewis quote above, with a relevant extra bit.
“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…To be ‘cured’ against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” CS Lewis, 1948.
Infants, imbeciles, and zombies.
Domestic animals are out of that class.
Maybe Annie, but people still cut off their goolies without obtaining consent.
Don’t give the government ideas!! In your box! Bad person!
Using our fury, white hot controlled fury that propels us into action.
But here too we can use our fear …. in fact our terror. I posted this down thread and thought I’d put it up again for separate discussion:
During last night I was woken up by screaming, lots of screaming which disturbed me from deep sleep. Wondering where the screaming is coming from …. and discover it’s coming from me. It’s me screaming about the hellhole we are in already, and the vastly worse to come.
So yes I am terrified, I am absolutely terrified and so should we all be because it’s the opposite of complacency, it’s the correct emotional response to what is happening. But use that terror, not to cower, not to freeze in a corner – but to FIGHT. Fight back, even if we feel like a mouse fighting for survival against a leopard, that’s what a cornered animal does in the final resort, it doesn’t freeze, it fights.
Whatever mood you are in, whether fear or anger, whether terror or fury …. the trick is to channel that emotion, to use it well and wisely.
Long ago I was explaining to a young lad that anger is useful, it’s like a powerful motorcycle – ride it skillfully and it will take you places.
They’ve been telling us that anger is a wrong thing to feel, telling us that being a man is wrong, telling us that ordinary human responses are in fact a medical problem.
Bollox to all that. I’m a human.
Thank you Rosie for posting that. I was just drafting a comment myself.
It seems that there is a lot of anger on here today being directed against people who are fearful. To despise the fearful is to demean ourselves.
People are fearful as a result of a crime that has been perpetrated against us all. Remember the SAGE minute that says “a substantial number of people do not feel sufficiently personally threatened….The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased”.
We are the lucky (I think!) ones who saw through, or have come to see through, the psychological manipulation. If the messages had hit us on a different day, who knows how we would have reacted. What state of fear would we now be in? It’s easy to say “They would never have fooled me” after the event. But we do not know.
So let’s turn our anger against the perpetrators of this crime, not against their victims.
Let’s act in whatever way we can using our talents and abilities to their best – whether that’s engaging in debate in the streets, leafletting, writing letters, putting posters up… whatever.
And with every little action we take say “That’s one against you, you bastards. That’s one for your victims”.
Agree, well said. The gov wants to divide the people one against another and make us fight like rats in a sack while they get out the popcorn.
Absolutely. Part of the Goebbels’ memorial agenda has been to set the community against each other.
Part of the resistance is to resist that intention.
Yes!
That’s why I resonated very strongly with Paul Boys’ message. It is full of wisdom, compassion and, above all, hope.

I get that. I was under the spell and increasingly fearful for about a week back in Feb or so. It felt bad at the time, but I recovered almost overnight. I think it may be partly due to an underlying mindset and luck. I’d like all of my old pals back, so soft pedal it has to be, urgency notwithstanding.
Yes indeed
It is disappointing more people have not woken up sooner, and it’s hard not to be angry with people
But many are as much victim as anyone else, and there’s little to be gained alienating them
Sorry, but no. Credulous fools arouse my anger, particularly when they direct their moronic prejudices against me.
Were the Germans who approved of Nazi genocide ‘victims’? Because it’s quite obvious that our zombies would have been of their number, given the same circumstances.
Think about our goal, focus on our objectives, and work to achieve them
You need to aim your anger at more appropriate targets. At the smug and the virtue-signalling, rather than at the fearful.
As per the Public image song rise “anger is an energy “ – I find a lot of punk song sentiments ( sorry I hit teen years at the height of late 70s punk!) the inner punk never goes away , even as middle aged mum.

Lovely. So inspirational!
Fear makes us freeze – the sheeple are a perfect example.
But fear can also makes us sensibly wary.
Anger is what motivates action.
Get mad – but use the energy wisely!!
Interestingly, hope also make people freeze, at least according to Lerner and Keltner’s Appraisal Tendency Framework.
This framework maps emotional states onto tendencies to decide in certain directions:
So the public, trapped between a fear of death and the hope of a vaccine, sit on their arses and do nothing.
We need them to be either angry or sad.
thanks for that Mabel
I’ve noticed that ‘hope’ is very unhelpful in this situation. Mouth platitudes and sit around waiting.
Interesting one: https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1329073870540685313?s=08 – I’m not on twitter to get this more widely circulated and see if we can get an answer from the authors…
Please give a summary of they are saying ….
it looks to me like they nerfed this study.
the protocol had a significant number of measures for adverse events:
bacteria, psychological, full healthcare, sick leave, infection in the household, other hospital diagnostics, etc.
NONE are included in the study.
In case it’s any use to anyone, here’s a poster to suggest to parents that getting tested is the opposite of being public spirited.
Mabel – really good reactions to your ‘don’t be a muppet’ leaflet today. I’m hungry now but will be back later to talk about it.
Unfortunately schools sending kids home require a negative test or enforce the isolation period before allowing kids with “symptoms” back in school. Id like it if someone would target the bloody teachers and make them stop getting tested. I had several teacher friends before this, and all, without exception, are fine with pubs and restaurants, but seem to think they risk their lives going to work.
A significant proportion of teachers are lazy, entitled pricks.

This twitter thread goes into details of the Danish Mask Study.The interesting bits they left out to get it printed.
“it looks to me like they nerfed this study. the protocol had a significant number of measures for adverse events: bacteria, psychological, full healthcare, sick leave, infection in the household, other hospital diagnostics, etc. NONE are included in the study”
Most likely taken away to get it published.
Can anyone see a study design for masks being useful to stop the spread? This would be an impossible study in a RCT and would have major ethical obstacles. The mask fanatics have made life easy by saying masks stop spreading C-19 as there could be no study to prove it.
But observation of worldwide seasonal wave raging in all mask mandate states in the US and countries in the world would be dismissed as observational studies with bias.
But other observational studies from some half-baked Chinese studies showing a possible small effect of masks in HCW are accepted by mask fanatics.
“Can anyone see a study design for masks being useful to stop the spread?”
It’s hard to envisage such a design.
I think the best that we can get is the observational data around the inflection of the mortality curve following the imposition of masks. Real infection would be better – but I can’t see any way of measuring it.
May be you could randomly designate regions of a country to be mask-wearing or not mask-wearing, assess the infection rates at the beginning of the study with identical PCR tests, and again at the end with the same tests. I think some states in the USA and cantons in Switzerland came close to doing such an experiment. However, the assignment wasn’t random but dictated by politics and so there could be underlying factors explaining the results.
This should help

Just interesting to see what’s happening in 2 of the pinup cities of Tier 3, Liverpool & Manchester. Yes, that’s right, Liverpool home of mass testing. The LFT results are included in the Pillar 2 results. Liverpool had Tier 3 from Oct 14th even though peak positive tests was 8th Oct. There’s been no deviation in the downward trend since then, they’d thrown in an extra 90,000 tests & nothing has altered the course.
Manchester, Tier 3 23rd. It had peaked on the 30th Sept! No deviation from any actions.
Why are we putting up with this?
We aren’t.
Zombies are.
Thanks for these, Nick. Yet more fuel on the bonfire of the rationale for ‘measures’.
… and yet the rubbish keeps piling up.
Thanks Nick. Used the info as an excuse to myther my MP yet again.

Clearly the japanese approach is more “Forget Cases. Pretend Masks are GOOD and just let the herd of morons circulate and consume”
I like circulating and consuming. I like it better than tying on the internet calling people morons. That is boring.
Yep… another one! Still thinks there’s “people”! Sheeple moron… SHEEPLE!
And of course you like “circulating and consuming” that’s what you’re here for and what you’re programmed to do. Until now at least.
Well, it takes all sorts. Some like to circulate and consume, some don’t.

“My prediction would be that over 50% of business travel and over 30% of days in the office will go away.” @BillGates on post-pandemic working habits!

This is actually one of the most uplifting tweets I’ve read recently:

Another uplifting quote from one of the replies:
“We can help each other get through the low points. We are getting bombarded with crap at the moment precisely because they’re losing. Tomorrow is another day, stay strong, we’ve got this.“
A lot to be said for that reply! They are losing, big time :o))
Just stick it out. They are scared of us.
So they should be!
It had to be written.
We can draw some significant conclusions from the recent events around the self isolation of Mr Boris Johnson. I will first summarise the key events.
What can we conclude from this?
It should be clear from the foregoing reductio ad absurdum that this whole ‘pandemic’ is shrouded in a fog of irrationality so dense that it obviates any possibly of rational thought or action, as demonstrated by this government and its ministers on a daily basis.
Lucid.
Not a word that can be applied to a anything said, done or thought by HMG.
Boris is isolating himself from being confronted by the truth. No fridge to hand. He never had Covid in the first place getting into hospial was a way of being protected from the limelight.
Or, as someone suggested, he was getting a vasectomy.
Correct summation, but the secret that nobody wants to admit is that it’s all charades.
It isn’t supposed to make any sense. The medical pretext will persist until the WHO calls te “pandemic” over. That won’t happen until the bigger goals have been reached and the reset/new normal/ build back better agenda is cemented in peoples minds as a done deal with no going back.
The disruption of peoples habits and activities over an extended period of time will leave most people so bewildered that they won’t even remember what life was like and will gladly be “lead” to salvation by a great leaders.
It must be remembered that the Great Reset is basically about the brainwashing of the next generation to accept a life different from the older folk . Anyone middle age and over is not really relevant to the orchestrators of this mayhem .

Bit off track, but looking back at why Blair was keen on devolution really should act as a warning for others. Labour were so certain that they would never out of power, so certain that devolution would end nationalism. And yet now you have Drakeford & Sturgeon and Labour are decimated in Scotland. Incredible but history always should be your guide.
Devolution was a plan to give Labour perpetual control of Scotland and Wales and London.Like a lot of things Blair touched it has turned into a disaster .
I’ve been looking at The Economic Forum stuff tonight. I’d never looked before. The thinh that most strikes me is the focus on ‘multi-lateralism’. Is this why Trump had to go? The swamp that needs clearing out extends way beyond Washington, it’s everywhere, UN, EU, Pan Pacific, Nato.
I’ve never looked at it, but are you suggesting that Klaus Schwab fixed the American election? How did he manage that?
I think the democrats managed that all on their own
I think the CCP provided a lot of funding to the Dems.

It is impossible to over emphasise the relevance of the WEF in all that has been going on for a good number of years and particularly this present manufactured crisis.
Rule by a global technocratic elite is the agenda. This is not just an annual schmooze-fest for well meaning “philanthropists”at Davos.
There is a number of similar organisations interlinked by personnel and agenda .They are totally serious and totally committed to their cause.
The state of the US election is the result of several decades of careful manoeuvring and wide scale corruption at all levels of the govt machinery, the same has happened in the UK and most everywhere else.
Trump isn’t necessarily the “good” guy but he isn’t “their” . He is a risk and has to go .
Some exceptional people are trying to root out the systemic corruption and hopefully they will come through but it’s very late in the day, we are all nearly neck deep in the swamp.
please research the background of Dominion voting machines and the role of our own Mark Malik Brown .
people don’t realise that most of these problems are actively propagated from Whitehall.
Have a look at this, as just one example:

It’s all disturbing stuff.
It goes deep and it’s extremely depressing when one tries to live a good honest life. The people in charge should be humble with the privilege given to them by us and they repay us with scheming and corruption.
If all the Reset stuff was so fantastic why can’t they be open about it.
Most of the economic/social/environmental problems in the World haven’t been caused by people like us , it’s the Frankenstein money go round system they’ve forced on us. We’ve had no say in any of it. Now they are intent on most surveillance and control in all aspects of our lives. This is going to end badly .
It’s like a whirl pool. Schwab is only one small part of that turning mass of corruption
No, but it certainly wasn’t in the the interest of multi-lateral organisations that he won it. Convergent opportunism.

What a pity. It’d have had my vote.
I’m sure this has already been mentioned, but the Danish study is out, and of course all of the mask-zealots are claiming that it is totally invalid because it didn’t specifically study whether masks protect “others.” As always, there will never be any evidence strong enough to convince these true-believers. I just hope that there is enough to convince courts that mandates are illegal.
There’s no good evidence that masks DO protect others. But they’ve succeeded in getting governments to force people to wear them anyway, for lack of evidence that they DON’T. The normal burden of proof has been completely reversed.
42 peer-reviewed studies that show masks are neither safe nor effective: https://www.primarydoctor.org/masks-not-effect
I read a piece by someone outlining the difficulties in constructing a meaningful study to assess whether masks protect others. They concluded it was more or less impossible.
One of they keys to this nonsense is that the loonies use almost exclusively unfalsifiable arguments that sound good, and scientific, but are anything but. Sadly many of the public are not equipped to pick up on this, as people rely on the media to “call out” lies.
are there not studies showing more infections in patients where the surgeon was masked versus unmasked? If bacteria can get through a surgical mask then you can draw your own conclusions on the 1000x smaller virus’ odds of getting through whatever manky bit of cloth people are wearing.
Of course we don’t need any studies, the evidence is there for everyone to see that we have cases increasing in all the places with mask mandates.
We discussed this a while back on LS.
There are about ten studies which show that there is no decrease in wound infection during surgery if surgeons do not wear masks. If surgeons continue to wear them it is more from from habit. They may offer protection from splashes of bodily fluids.
Here is the advice from HM Government in a document entitled: Keeping workers and customers safe during COVID-19 in restaurants, pubs, bars and takeaway services: COVID-19 secure guidance for employers, employees and the self-employed 3 July 2020
p36 states:
“There are some circumstances when wearing a face covering may be marginally beneficial as a precautionary measure. The evidence suggests that wearing a face covering does not protect you, but it may protect others if you are infected but have not developed symptoms. However, customers and workers who want to wear a face covering should be allowed to do so.”
Then further down the page:
“It is important to know that the evidence of the benefit of using a face covering to protect others is weak and the effect is likely to be small, therefore face coverings are not a replacement for the other ways of managing risk, including minimising time spent in contact,using fixed teams and partnering for close-up work, and increasing hand and surface washing. These other measures remain the best ways of managing risk in the workplace and government would therefore not expect to see employers relying on face coverings as risk management for the purpose of their health and safety assessments.”
And I bet not a single one of the masked zealots went anywhere near a mask between Jan and probably at least May, likely June. Imagine all the people they must have killed during that time!
Quentin Willson on the government’s obsession with e-cars that only travel half the distance of a diesel car on one “tank/charge”:

Ironically, my son had a woke, work-mandated hybrid Lexus that cost £120 to do a 500-mile round trip that my little i10 does for £50. And I don’t cause the ungreen battery problems either!
And how long does it take to charge up the bloody things?
And that assumes you have a drive and don’t live in a Victorian terrace house!
Or high rise flats.
Just shows doesn’t it?! More Victorian terraces. (including many back-to-backs) than high rise flats where I live!
If you live in a nice detached house in the home counties, I don’t suppose highrise dwellers feature much in your cosy plans.
Batteries only need to roughly double their capacity for the same weight and volume to make petrol cars join gramophone records and steel bicycles in the category of technology we still like but is objectively inferior.
There is a good chance this will happen in the next 9y. If it does people will buy them anyway so I don’t understand why the government can’t keep their oar out of it.
They will still take quite a long time to charge up but if they had a real world range of 400 miles or so this wouldn’t matter much.
I wonder whether hydrogen technology might render electric cars obsolete.
Needs a lot of infrastructure is the problem. So does battery electric but you can also just charge them at home so can get away with with the public charging network being rubbish.
A few years ago I thought hydrogen ICE would be where we would end up but battery electric looks more likely now.
Very sad as the combustion engines in cars have reached such an amazing level of efficiency and reliability. If you’d suggested replacing the engine in my old Mini with an electric motor that would have seemed like a good idea.
I think it might. Electric at best is a transition technology I think.
It would matter to me – I routinely drive more than that for my job!
When you take into account the amount of rare earth materials that goes into building the batteries they are not that environmentally friendly anyway.
Also, the batteries will die out. Will be a few years, but rechargeable batteries lose a tiny fraction each time they are charged, they are not 100% permanent… so in [x] years you have hundreds of thousands of tonnes of battery waste – what was that again, about killing the planet?!

In this Public Health England document discussing the protocol for studying antibodies.Rather revealing.Can anyone read anything different? A sizeable portion of keyworkers had high levels of T cells which I assume mean T cells recognizing SARs Cov2 and half of them had not had C-19 but probably there because of infection of other coronavirus? And Patrick Vallance says 93 % of the population is susceptible to C-19.
“About 1/4 of the keyworker population studied had high levels of T cells which recognised SARS-CoV2 in their blood when they joined the study in June 2020. By ‘high levels’ we mean levels similar to those seen in people who have had COVID-19 disease. However, about half the people with high levels of T cells in their blood have not had COVID19, as far as we could tell- the cells were probably there because of previous infection with coronaviruses other than SARS-CoV-2.”
This is important. I hope Toby picks up on it.
Send it to him.

lol, don’t all rush at once!
More brilliance Swedenborg, thank you!!! I really am getting more confident by the day that we have effective community immunity in the UK.
Yep, Yeadon made a similar point a while back, can’t recall his exact figures off top of my head, but est. something like 20-30% of the population probably have prior immunity
Mike Yeardon gets more right about immunity every day
Emailed Doctor Susan Hopkins who said we will need tighter restrictions after xmas if we have a near normal xmas.
I didnt swear but I told her exactly what I thought of her Imperial college and Sage.
Told her that most people are ignoring the rules and will continue to do so.also the fact that she has no worries as she is on a big fat taxpayer funded wage.
Suggest everybody does .Google her she is at imperial college .let these people know exactly what ordinary people think of them
Get the bastards rattled.
I can state here and now, with no fear or favour, that there is absolutely no family link between this excuse for a doctor and this writer—God forbid!
And if, IF, there was, there might be a bit of disowning occurring?
On it.
Nic…Just dashed this E-mail off to her. It may not be the most well thought out effort but it should help to rattle:
Dear Ms hopkins,
Can you please explain to me how the total mortality rate for 2020 is running about the same as the five year average and is BELOW the past 30 year average?
If we are experiencing a pandemic of such devastating proportions that it is culling huge numbers how can this be so? In view of the overwhelming evidence that the only pandemic we are suffering from is a government induced, media facilitated, mass hysteria, aided and abetted by pseudo scientists such as yourself, do you not realise that when the population gets wise to the terrible ‘lock down deaths’ and economic destruction we have all been subjected to there will be a day of reckoning that will bring those responsible most assuredly to the dock?
I don’t know how you sleep at night.
Harry Hopkins—(no relation!)
TalkRADIO ran a Twitter poll on the drive time show today, last I heard 85% said they would ignore any diktats issued about what they can do at Christmas.
Are people awaking?
TalkRadio listeners might be but you would get the opposite result for Radio 4 or LBC.
Indeed as a former listener to both the stations, I am in despair.
I suspect they’ll go back to sleep after Christmas and follow orders at least until Easter.
As a behavioural scientist you would think she would wind her neck in.
She’s “just doing her job.”
How many people are actually on SAGE ? There seems to be 100’s of the fuckers who always rock up to tell us how very much right they are about everything. Personally, even if they are 100% right they should not be on the TV / Radio etc telling us. Civil servants are not allowed to talk bollocks every 5 minutes on LBC so how come this lot can ?
I imagine them lined up in the style of the Nuremberg Rallies
Great idea- the more she realises that there are people monitoring her actions and will be holding her to account the better.
Just incase anyone else wishes to follow your lead
s.hopkins @ imperial.ac.uk remove the spaces
Restrictions won’t apply to her
Weekly Aldi forage. It was very quiet, as anticipated. They didn’t play the covid-safe message even once.
2 floor staff barefaced. One barefaced customer left as I was entering but the 8 or so inside the shop were all muzzled-up.
Passed a young woman who had obviously showered in perfume. I almost wished I had a face nappy because the stench was overpowering.
Great news! The organic chocolate is back – and I’m evidently not the only one who likes the 85% ……
Bad news though, as I was driving away, I noticed an ominous green light on the entrance door.
Ominous green light?
Cheezilla previously mentioned an email from Aldi about them introducing a traffic light system to allow / denigh entrance to the store.
Cheezilla was grateful that their store did not have the system, seems that is no-longer the case.
I understand the concern, but has cheezilla confirmed with the store that this is what they have done? is he sure that this is what the light is for?
And it doesn’t seem to have prevented his going into the store.
I only go to Lidi once a week nowadays and when the store is not busy. I don’t really think it wouldn’t worry me to be honest.
It’s important not to let the corona stupidity get to you.
Maybe down the line they will be stopping people from entering without a covid pass. Maybe. Cross that bridge when we get there.
Thanks for your concern John.
I always go shopping in the evening when the store is pretty empty anyway. I don’t like queuing inside the shop and would flatly refuse to do so outside in the wind and rain.
Traffic light system. If they’ve spent money on it, they can’t be expecting the mockdown to suddenly end ….
Good point. Probably just totally coincidental it is pretty much the exact same thing as is used in much of China..
Our Aldi abs Tesco have these stupid traffic lights
Tescos in Ealing have the traffic lights. People are already jumping the lights
I would have to walk through traffic lights in protest. We’re not lab rats. Let people ignore them and let the shop manager have a Norman Wisdom type meltdown. Where does it end?
Don’t worry. I’ve no intention of standing outside while I wait to be invited in to bestow a chunk of my meagre pension on their company.
tesco have also got this traffic light system at the entrance
So, Boris is:
Are we really supposed to believe that this decision was arrived at by the PM after his 32 year-old squeeze convinced him of it?
We’re talking about the complete reorganisation of personal transport. Do you not think this might have been part of a broader agenda that a number of special interests have been involved in for a long time? If we decide to not renew our nuclear missile deterrant will this be blamed on Ms. Symonds as well?
Do journalists really think we’re that simple minded?
The man is an utter buffoon, lead around by a young flittery gibbert by his ….. The only positive is that it means he knows the game’s up: he wants a legacy. Theresa May announced her same crap when she knew she was a gonna. He’s brought it forward to trounce her. It’s total BS.
Woman goes into the local Registrar to arrange to get married. When he asks her what out of interest what her married name will be, she says “Gibbet”.
Registrar says “That doesn’t sound very nice! Why don’t you keep your maiden name?” She says “I can’t; I’ve got to take my husband’s name.” Registrar looks puzzled “I know it’s traditional, but why?” Woman “I’ve got to, my first name’s Flibberty…”
All part of the international agenda – the big issues that no one except the Davos elite get to decide on. A bit like digital health passports, digital currencies and the Great Reset.
Voting doesn’t matter.
Part of the zero carbon Agenda which Theresa May signed into law.Totally unworkable but they will destroy the country trying
Absolutely right, Jonathan. And Johnson has been fully on board for over a decade. Climate realists have been driven to death over this. Too bad nobody took any notice of their plight.
Summary plus more links here https://www.beautyandthebeastlytruth.com/
For an even quicker summary, take all of the features of the covid scam, alter the words from ‘covid’ to ‘climate’ and it’s all exactly the same.
Boris is only pm because he’s a believer.
The Sustainability Agenda is decades old not something that’s just popped up.
Everyone needs to research the UN sustainability goals . Every target date has been reached , each one creates a tighter and tighter control mechanism around govts and their unwitting people.
people need to research the origins of the UN and the utopian global objectives of the founding influences on this set of organisations and the all encompassing scope they planned for it.
Much of this traces back to mid/late 19C utopian ideologies and theories emanating from central european upper classes with to much time on their hands.
An interesting quote I happened upon today:

Some of these have helped me too! There have been really bad times before, but not knowing whether the government is going to try and shut down society again is pretty bad.
I have spent hours revisiting favorite bands from my youth and and feeling slightly sentimental. Watching old comedy like Tony Hancock, Dave Allen, Drop the Dead Donkey, One Foot into the Grave etc…
I loved Drop the Dead Donkey!
I’m enjoying watching Ladies of Letters at the moment. Sublimely scripted subtle bitchiness delivered expertly by Anne Reid and Maureen Lipman.
Me too! Wondering if I can find it on YouTube or something, a few episodes of that would have me crying with laughter.
Drop the Dead is on 4oD. Been binge watching it recently. Adverts annoying obviously!
Oh my I thought you had joined The Morom Church (no offence to the LDS). Clearly not from the list
of stimulants.
I can recommend lidl chocolate 56% almond and orange at the moment, will have to see what Aldi have.
Thanks for the list.
When do I find Ian Carmichael reading Three men in a boat, I love listening to different versions, it is like hearing it a fresh each time.
Aldi have the organic chocolate in again!
What’s the difference?
One: Organic, so not pesticide sprayed and more fairly traded.
Two: Tastes wonderful.
Shouting in an open field with no-one around is fantastic too. And meditation, some excellent free sessions on YouTube etc.
Oh and playing chess, best game ever.
Singing works. Chanting’s better.
All good stuff!
The one about Pike’s name being added to Ze List was voted the best TV joke of all time last year and I totally agree. No smut or swearing but superb script writing and acting/timing. There’s nothing like it on TV any more.
From the same episode: “I vill have plaice. Und I vant my chips crisp!”
Human psychology is strange, or at least mine is, it is gloomy stuff that cheers me up, Leonard Cohen and then Charlie Watts (Stones Drummer) lives in our village and so we are all big Stones fans here and when I hear then drawl out;
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Then perversely I feel uplifted and that there is a point to all this and that life is worth living. As for comedy, for me it is Black Books, I like to think what Bernard Black would have made of face-masks? probably have one with a slot for smoking and drinking.

Some good things in that list. On the books front, I’ve just acquired Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, hence my earlier post about The Masque of the Red Death.
Evening All. If you only watch one video this week, may i humbly suggest “The Healthy Debate”? Worth sharing far and wide…
See : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0hc4N_LHqU
Tonight on #TheHealthyDebate our presenter Lindie Naughton will be joined by neuro-linguistic programming Master Coach and Trainer, Sara Haboubi, to talk about how specific words and phrases have shaped the Covid-19 narrative. Dr Pat Morrissey, GP, will join from Limerick to talk through how Covid-19 has affected his patients and Dr Kevin Corbett, PhD. will dial in from the UK to discuss the known failings of PCR testing and its use as a diagnostic tool.
To understand the nudging, manipulation and NLP. Exactly what we all need. May thanks for this
Really good thanks
As a tribute to the incompetent innumeracy of the population – they are thrilled to have a vaccine that is 95% likely to prevent them dying from a disease they were about 98.5% likely on average not to die from.
It’s not even that good! You’re possibly 95% likely to get less severe symptoms of the disease you’re 99+% likely to survive. They’ve set the bar so low as to ensure what appears to be efficacy of the vaccines. They’re not even claiming it actually prevents transmission, reduces ICU need, or saves anyone from severe symptoms or death.
It is a glorified placebo, little more than which is actually required as most countries are approaching community immunity. Fortunately we have the control of New Zealand, almost completely unexposed to the disease to show us how effective the vaccine actually is. I suspect it will be useless.
I think they ought to do mass PCR testing in completely covid unexposed parts of NZ just to see how many “positives” would be found!!
Vaccines have a wonderful business model.
Governments and NGOs are funding the development, governments are going carry the can if the vaccines mess peoples up or kill them.
The powers that be want as many people as possible vaccinated the big pharma companies are getting the profits and share prices are on the up.
That’s right Lisa, if you multiply it through –
Maybe 0.4% of population test positive, 80% of them asymptomatic, 90%+ of balance with mild symptoms…
Adds up to about, umm, fuck all!

I have lost count of the number of times that I have thought we had reached ‘peak insanity’, but life in the SNPeople’s Republic becomes more surreal by the day. It would now appear that while international travel is still allowed, travel to Edinburgh Airport will be illegal from Friday:

Remember when Scotland was ‘the best wee country in the world’? No, neither do I.
Just exactly when is the general public going to say, “enough is enough”?
When the shower heads starts hissing instead of producing water?
Maybe if their wi-fi signal was disrupted. It seems that people will tolerate anything but that…
The World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab are incredibly sinister. Openly speaking about transhumanism – shouldn’t religious leaders be speaking out against this? do people really want this? doesn’t look like we get a choice.
COVID-19(84) UPDATE: THE GREAT RESET, MANDATORY VACCINES FOR TRAVEL AND TRANSHUMANISM!!! https://www.bitchute.com/video/30LR5b10SX38/
The main western religions have been corrupted, please read Dr A Michael Jones.
The UN is based around ideals of utopianism and spiritualism – see lucis trust . There are lots of very sinister components to all this.
Shall we set in motion “unarrestable” protests.
Say, on 1/12/20, i.e. before they renew lockdown from 2 December, an en masse sit in in cars outside of parliament hooting horns.
Or in the queses caused by extra London cycle lanes?
Or on motorways (a go slow, like when they tried to increase fuel duty).
Or even everyone, everywhere in the country wherever they are but at a given time (will have to be co-ordinated) all hooting their horns.
A bit like the gilets jaune but no-one is breaking the law because no-one is “gathering” in more than 2.
Well?
Excellent shout
wouldn’t surprise me that Black taxi drivers will do this.-they certainly did this on a weekly basis back in 2019
Great idea
shouldnt that be taxis of colour drivers
Try suggesting it to Save Our Rights and StandupX

I have a suspicion that restrictions will stay in place for as long as possible so that they can bring in as many unpopular undemocratic globalist ideas they can.
UN ANNOUNCES BIOMETRIC DIGITAL ID WALLET
https://www.bitchute.com/video/jr0uaiuquNfi/
Recently the United Nations had some big announcements that went largely unnoticed, including the rollout of a biometric digital wallet and an announcement that one of its specialized agencies The International Civil Aviation Organization is one step closer to a internationally recognized digital travel credential.
You’re suspicion is correct. This won’t end until the WHO declares the “pandic” over.
That won’t happen until they have made enough progress for now and that the peoples will to resist/maintain their “old” lifestyles has been broken.
please research ID 2020 , profusa etc etc
Unfortunately I know only too well about the UN and the other globalist / technocratic plans. The majority of the population sadly only consume mainstream media which is completely complicit with implementing their plans. People seem so distracted by the toys the elite have given them such as social media, they don’t see they are being socially engineered.
Watching The Great Plague on Channel 5. They have the utterly fatuous audacity to mention Covid in the same breath as The Plague. WTF????
Were you really surprised though ?
For those – particularly those who voted at the last election – who think that this green nonsense is something new and either covid or carrie related, I quote the Guardian from July of 2019, writing about the Tory green manifesto:
“Over 40 Conservative MPs now back a fracking ban, a sevenfold increase in offshore wind by 2050, an earlier ban on new petrol and diesel cars and vans, fertiliser and pesticide taxes, high levels of protection for 30% of UK domestic waters, and more.”
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/02/tory-mps-green-manifesto-urging-more-eco-friendly-policies
It even predated Boris, so nothing to do with his floozie. (Oh, but he owns the green bollocks now).
Voters, particulary Tory voters, only have themselves to blame.
They told you what they were intent on doing!
There has been a general belief and assumption that these kinds of statements were “nudge and wink” messages to pull in lefty and green voters, but the Tories in practice wouldn’t take any of it very seriously in office. Same applies to NHS worship and general big government stuff. Obviously the opponents of the “Conservatives”, both political and media, have been very keen to push that idea as well, in order to discourage lefties and greens from voting for them.
We are seeing, in spades, how naive that was on the part of conservatives who have continued to support the “Conservatives” for the past decade or two. The non-conservative nature of the “Conservative” Party has been pointed out by many, including Peter Hitchens who has written books on it, for a decade and more, but we have repeatedly seen electoral triumphs for the”Conservatives” that amounted to draws (at the very best) for actual conservatives.
That’s the problem with your party adopting the clothes of your political enemies and taking your votes for granted – your side might win the election, but you lose the political fight.
This relates to a point I was making the other day.
All the main UK political parties were onside regarding the “green economy” anyway, so it was always going to happen.
Why was it therefore necessary to use the Covid smokescreen to bring about these changes? I can only assume that these are the “nice” part of the changes they have in store for us.
Because the changes the measures will bring will be revolutionary.Modern life is built on cheap energy; strip that away and life is going to be a whole lot harder.Even a 10 minute drive to get the weekly shop.Translate that to a bus ride or walk carrying your shopping in the rain because you can’t afford an electric car.
Playing devil’s advocate here, but surely shopping online is more convenient than both of your examples? (And I hasten to add, i’ve never done online grocery shopping)
To add to this example, pre-Covid –
The high street was already dying due to online shopping
Less and less cash was being used
Electric cars were being sold in increasing numbers
More people happy to give personal data away to big tech companies
etc etc.
The point i’m making, is that people were doing this without coercion. And no major political party opposed it in any serious way.
Every party continually tries to out green the others.
Today was a depressing day. I had a discussion with somebody whom I thought would be onside but turned out to be a rabid lockdown fanatic.
I find this time of year tough mentally. The compensations are usually watching Football, Rugby, Winter beer in the pub, and Cinema/theatre. I mentioned to this guy I vaguely know – and who I know likes his sport and the pub – how draining this latest lockdown is.
His reply was that people had it far worse in the war and we are lucky to be able to sit at home watching telly. Plus ‘people are dying in their thousands from this, we can’t let them die just so you can go to the pub’.
Has anyone else come across this? Where as soon as you mention lockdown is wrong
it’s because you are self centred, feckless and sybaritic? As opposed to public spirited self sacrificing and noble?
I suggested that maybe it’s because people uncritically believe the plague narrative and are too idle sitting in front of the telly to properly investigate the crap being shovelled at them that they’ve forgotten the freedoms people fought those wars to preserve. Got nowhere.
And inevitably, the drip feed of future restrictions and impositions ahead of 2 December is in the press. When the next virus rises in the East do we accept this charade again? We must, as a nation, somehow make sure that this cannot be repeated. There must be legal checks and balances imposed on Government to ensure proper scrutiny and regulation before our freedoms are curtailed. And the messianic cult of the NHS must end.
I really struggle that so many people seem content just to accept this uncritically.
Feels better to get that off my chest.
I’m the same with regard to company and companionship over winter, being in the pub watching the football or rugby on a frosty Saturday is one of the great joys of life to me.
Yes, it’s the casual companionship of the pub, the easy chat with people that sit near you at the match, spending time in the company of different people. These are the things that lift the spirits.
Yep, which is a main reason why they have shut the pubs and banned assembly.
An absolutely KEY part of the psy-op. Stop people talking freely and naturally amongst themselves and destroy anything that is left of what we know as a “community”. They will provide a new community when we are totally broken down.
I was talking to my friend about this. She and her young son are upset because their church has had to close for mockdown. It’s been a beacon of light – even allowing singing.
We both noted that they have targeted places where people associate and chat – even hairdressers, those hotbeds of gossip and strongly held opinions.
They have systematically removed our places of socialising!
Brainwashing and psychological abuse, by the book.
Separate people from each other,confine them at home then beam the propaganda straight in.It worked the first time.
There was no community in Orwell’s 1984!
Probably not much in Stasi Germany either.
The pubs have been closed to me for 13 years now since they banned smoking.
I know what you mean – but some have well-designed heated & covered outdoor smoking areas.
Pubs smell of food and disinfectant now. Sterile places, mostly. Remember Christmas Eve in the pub pre-2007? The haze of cigar smoke and wood smoke. Bliss.
We sceptics should organise a 5 day Christmas cruise. Never fancied one but the idea of getting out to sea with all like minded people would be fun
Easy target for the Govt. gun boats, though.
We’re not the selfish ones – we’re not the ones demanding that everyone’s lives be upended, education ruined and businesses destroyed because we’re too lazy to inform ourselves of the real facts.
It’s disingenuous to make out that lockdown is so easy because you just relax in front of the TV. It’s not that at all. It is a relentless and grievous assault on everything that makes life worth living.
Very good set of counter arguments here by Tom Wood.
How many people have died because of lockdowns? How many patients are going to die because of cancer treatments denied. How many heart attacks, stress related, alcohol and drug induced suicides because of this lockdown? What about their lives? Don’t they matter is the jist of large parts of it. Very good video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy3tP-BW5do&feature=emb_rel_pause
Tom Woods is amazing. I signed up for his e-mails and every day or two he writes something short but affirming. It’s a nice reminder that there are other normal people out there who see this for what it is. Today’s was titled: Rising “cases” are your fault, you awful person.
They didn’t close the pubs, schools, universities during the war, nor did they stop people working.
This: “And inevitably, the drip feed of future restrictions and impositions ahead of 2 December is in the press. “
The expectation management by press release is something that I really resent.
100%. It fuels my fury.
Agree completely. One of the most depressing things about all this is the unquestioning obedience of most of the population. For heaven’s sake, this is a virus with an ifr of about 0.3% and an average age of death of over eighty. If this is the bar we’re going to use before we virtually shutdown the planet, we are going to be in and out of lockdown more or less forever.
Slightly off topic but related to safety obsession. Sky Sports making a fuss about dementia in ex footballers, citing that some of the England World Cup winning team of 1966 have died of dementia and that Bobby Charlton has been diagnosed with it. Calls for kids to not be allowed to head the ball anymore, protective helmets, etc.
Well, I’m sorry but Jack Charlton was 85 when he died earlier this year and Bobby is 83. Lads from Northumberland pit villages didn’t tend to make it to those sort of ages back in the day did they? For Christ’s sake we all die of something!
The ball back when the Charltons were playing was much heavier than it is now.
Footballs have been a regulation weight for a hundred years or more, it’s just that the old ones took on water.
Meant that – sorry!
Didn’t I learn it.
Kids are already banned from heading the ball and the only resemblance between a modern football and the footballs that these fellas played with is that they are both round.
Those old leather balls when wet was like heading a medicine ball!
No one asks. Why would footballers not get dementia? If you are able to cherry pick one or two examples then it is not a problem. It’s attainment bias.
Lots of people in their 80s have dementia – and most of them didn’t spend a lot of time nutting footballs.
exactly what the fuck to they want?
Now to the strangest thing that happened to me today, and it illustrates what can happen when we get angry with the people imposing this rather than the individuals- and what happens when we allow our passions free rein. All of my words had already been spoken in discussion with friends, so I had already articulated the ideas, but never used them on the battle front.
EM Forster 1910:
Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.
So – today I had a trip to London with my leaflets, having begun the day by waking up to the sound of screaming screaming screaming ….. and eventually realising that the person who was screaming was myself. Screaming in terror at what they are doing and will yet do.
In the afternoon I went into a Holland & Barrett , a healthfood store, it’s a chain with many branches. I needed some molasses for my homemade wine (we’ve nearly finished the entire stock, need to make some more). I’ll try to remember exactly what I said, talking to the man at the cash desk:
Me: Why are you wearing that mask. It’s filthy and making you ill.
Man: it’s because of the virus and where is your mask?
Me: There’s no virus it’s full of bacteria and unhealthy. This is a healthfood shop, what’s going on they must know it’s unhealthy.
Man: government guidelines etc.
Me: I’d like some molasses please and can’t you take that thing off I’ve got a mask phobia.
Man: government guidelines.
Me: Look in 1930s Germany the government said to kill all the Jews so they killed the Jews this is wrong you don’t just do what the government says when it’s wrong (this bit probably 3 times over)
Man: Studies show masks etc
Me: No they don’t – look on the internet and you’ll find loads of studies that they are unhealthy.
Man …. slight change in tone …….oh anything can be proved with studies.
Me: Look you breath in clean air and breath out your waste products. You shouldn’t be breathing it back in again. You don’t drink your wee, you don’t eat your poo, and you shouldn’t breath your dirty air back in again.
Pause
Me: Look read this leaflet
Man: no I don’t need no leaflet
Me: read it
and now an astonishing change – he grabbed it, read it avidly, took a pile, read it again and then begged me to write to head office about it.
So that’s another thing to do – those who are asking what they can do. Start writing to head office of those shops that are still open. Ask them for their risk assessment, talk about that (in this case) they’ve been writing article after article about the need for plenty of fresh air …. and now they are making their staff ill and their customers too.
Wow, very impressed. Good work.
Thanks, I’d used the words in conversations with fellow sceptics, and then just allowed my feelings to speak for themselves. Somehow hte guy must have sensed that my complaints weren’t aimed directly to him.

“ Somehow hte guy must have sensed that my complaints weren’t aimed directly to him.”
This is key perhaps. Getting the phrasing (and posture) right so that what’s communicated is “don’t you realise that this is what is being done to you and me?” rather than “what are you doing you ignorant idiot collaborator!” or similar.
Ultimately most people don’t want to be in this situation or doing these things, not really, but they lack the bridge to a clear emotional realisation of that — and a logical path from “here” to “there” that they can grasp and refer back to once that’s acquired.
Which leaflet was this do you have the text? Sound like it hit the spot.
Ding!
Wonderful!
It made me realise that while shop assistants etc are nappied up all day, breathing back in their own CO2, schoolkids and teachers are shivering in winter classrooms that have doors and windows wide open – for fresh air to circulate.
Sane people couldn’t make this stuff up!
You’re an inspiration, Rosie. You deserve a medal. Victory first, then medal.
And some still complain and cry because I call it like it is…
MORON SLAVES…
I always like the number of morons that “don’t know”!
But if they were told there is no recourse to either the Big Pharma firm or the government for compensation if it all goes wrong, what would be the level of support?
It seems that at the present state most would say yes!
anything to save us ‘says breathless from Kingston on Thames’
Maybe there’s a version of YouGov in Saudi Arabia where they let the public decide if there should be public executions or not
Polls are influencer tools
“Polls are influencer tools”… specially if the results goes in favour of the PROPAGANDA!
Polls are a means to influence public opinion not measure it.
Well said. This is now entirely apparent, especially after the recent US elections.
I use faceok to stay in touch with friends, after listening to Zuckerbergs testomoniy to congress and the points discussed I am just completely outraged. These are not robber barons these people are beyond criminal
My suspicion is that YouGov seek opinions from people on their database whose opinions can be relied upon to give the kind of result they’ve been asked to provide. Until recently I completed their surveys but I kept seeing the results of polls for which I hadn’t been consulted. Maybe that’s because I made my sceptical views quite clear earlier in the year and have been disqualified from any further lockdown related surveys. I opted out and told them why.
115% would agree and in Tower Hamlets it would be 199% on a postal vote
The Behavioural Insights Team completely manage the views and perceptions of the majority of the public. People are being completely propagandised by clever but evil social engineers.
The Behavioural Insights Team (psy-ops) are a sub-group of SAGE.
We are rightly sceptical about other official sources of information.
So, why should we believe polls?
It’s a YouGov online poll. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
I hope Toby doesn’t mind me posting this Telegraph editorial in full, I hope it brings some cheer to People:
This flip-flop cycle of lockdown and release has got to stop
Boris Johnson has been adamant that the current lockdown in England will end on December 2. The law says as much, the date having been written into the Statutory Instrument enacting the new restrictions. Yet at the Downing Street press conference on Monday, in the absence of the Prime Minister, this was not as clear-cut as was thought. Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, left open the possibility that the lockdown might be extended, saying it was “too early” to be sure when it could end. Scientists appear to be queuing up to urge the Government not to loosen controls over Christmas when a vaccine is “just around the corner”.
A new criterion for judging the effectiveness of the lockdown is being talked up by public health officials, namely the number of cases. We have always been led to believe that provided the NHS could cope and the number of deaths stabilised, then life could be normalised. Of course the two may go together, with higher cases bringing about more hospital admissions and fatalities. But they are not necessarily a corollary of one another and should not be treated as such.
In order to extend the lockdown there would have to be a vote in the Commons. The Government would presumably win with the support of the Labour party, which seems happy to wreck the livelihoods of the people it purports to represent. But it would come at a political price for Mr Johnson because dozens of Conservative MPs, possibly a majority of backbenchers, would oppose the measure.
The Government is hoping to head off this prospect by introducing strengthened tiered controls from December 2, as is happening now in Scotland. But many see these as a lockdown in all but name. It means areas that have seen very little coronavirus, even during the worst of the pandemic, will still be under tight restrictions probably up to and throughout the Christmas holiday.
This flip-flop cycle of lockdown, release and more lockdown has got to stop. Proponents of controls say that is an argument for keeping them indefinitely until a vaccine arrives, even though none of the proposed jabs have yet been given safety clearance. But the reality is that it is an argument against lockdowns. If months of restraints have failed to work, then a new strategy is needed, one that weighs up the costs against the very dubious benefits.
Despite the opinion polls the reality is that supported for all this is slipping, if they give up on lockdowns and nothing much happens then the whole thing will fizzle out and they will loose their moment of glory and their chance to make shedloads of money from the vaccine.
I feel we need to challenge the whole idea of Parliament passing any further legislation on this hoo-haa. The bar for justifying legislation is quite high and to my mind the current situation does not count as a sufficient emergency to justify lock-down Statutory Instruments. I feel we need to do all we can to raise this with MPs and the media and press the MPs to think very carefully when asked to vote on any lock down extensions. They are failing in their basic duty if they vote for legislation which is not justified and indeed might be legally incorrect.
Steve, I agree. I have on my ‘to do’ list this weekend, a letter to Mark Harper and Steve Baker. I have not written to my MP – a Tory ‘wet’ – since he failed to respond to my husband’s email cancelling his membership of the party (after the decision to lock down Leicester the night before Eid – you don’t mess with people’s religions).
I have written to Steve Baker as well as my own MP, I am hoping that if Steve Baker gets enough letters on this it will strengthen his hand to ensure that the rebels stick to their guns. I would like to see some MP raise enough of a challenge on this legislation so as to force the Attorney General to have to make a statement to the house on the legal position before any votes are taken.
I got this reply from Sammy Wilson. Terrific guy – good man to write to to encourage and ask how we can campaign
Dear Ms Langridge
Thank you very much for your email regarding the opposition which I have expressed to the Governments lockdown proposals.
You have hit the nail on the head when you pointed out what freedoms we are losing, the kind of state we are now living in and the impact that all this is having on wider society.
For all those reasons I will continue to oppose any future lockdown proposals.
Sammy Wilson MP
(Dictated by Mr Wilson and sent on his behalf)
Sammy was on local radio this week promising no return to lockdown in Northern Ireland come this time tnext week when restrictions end. In Stormont there is essentially a veto option for the two sides (Nationalists /Unionists) which they can use to prevent any motion being agreed. The DUP used it last week to prevent a 6 week extension to lockdown and have promised to use it again.
I am far from Sammys biggest fan but he’s on tbe right side here and digging in the heals.
I wrote to all the 39 MPs who opposed the lockdown. Steve Bakers reply was the most personal. I encourage you to write to him.
I wrote to Sir Charles Walker. He’s not my MP but I liked what he said in justification of his decision to vote against the second lockdown so I thought I’d tell him. This was his reply:
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to write to me with your kind comments and thoughts about the challenges we face.
If there is one silver lining from all of this, it is that I no longer take for granted all the privileges and freedoms I mistakenly thought were mine by right.
Yours,
Charles
I challeged my own MP (Simon Fell) about his decision to vote with the Govt. I think he must have got tired of my frequent letters and emails so he didn’t reply. This is odd really because he said earlier that he was a libertartian at heart and was uncomfortable with the Government’s actions. Not that uncomfortable, obviously.
I’ll be writing again before 2nd December.
TT,
They’ve messed with the Christian religion by effectively making it illegal to go to church. I’m not religious at all but denying the faithful their place of worship is a quite shocking thing to do, even in a mainly secular society.

Madrid local government is now using mostly antigen tests and not PCR.The cases will drop substantially. Look at page 4.The 15th Nov 13787 test were done in Madrid and 85% of them were antigen test!
And Madrid positivity lowest in Spain 2,84% even lower than Canaries which is in the UK travel corridor at the moment. Only fools will continue with PCR in mass screening.
Fools who politicians/ scientists who have a false narrative to maintain?
Only fools will continue with PCR in mass screening. So it will be full on PCR testng in the UK. Hancock and his scientists all look incresingly crazed and deranged, out of control with no sense of reality.
It makes no difference. The Covid Cabal wants its Great Reset
I like this although I worry that the fraud of using PCR will be glossed over. Its been used as a tool for state repression based on the flakiest of science
It is unusual that the Annals journal published a companion piece to the mask article (excerpt below) – basically apologizing for publishing it and then diminishing the findings.
It is good that they published it – and frankly alarming that it was rejected by other journals – but disturbing that they felt the need for the explanation. It further diminishes the faith in science as being an independent evidence based concept. All in all, it doesn’t provide evidence that masks work in protecting the wearer, but it did not, and was not designed to, determine if wearing a mask protects others. Although i’ve yet to see anyone explain how a mask can stop viruses from getting out, but can’t stop them from getting in….
“With fierce resistance to mask recommendations by leaders and the public in some locales, is it irresponsible for Annals to publish these results, which could easily be misused by those opposed to mask recommendations?
We think not. More irresponsible would be to not publish the results of carefully designed research because the findings were not as favorable or definitive as some may have hoped. We need to gather many pieces of evidence to solve the puzzle of how to control the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. For this reason, we thought it important to publish the findings and carefully highlight the questions that the trial does and does not answer.
All who worry about the COVID-19 pandemic should carefully consider these findings for what they show and refrain from viewing them as evidence that widespread mask wearing is ineffective. While we await additional evidence about the effectiveness of masks as source control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, we are going to do our part to protect everyone by masking up and hope that those around us do the same.”
This is actually the very opposite of ‘following the science’ ( meaning ‘following scientific method’ – there is no fixed body of fact that is entitled to that epithet).
“we are going to do our part to protect everyone by masking up and hope that those around us do the same.”
…is actually magical thinking – nothing to do with ‘science’, which isthe process of examining the bounds of concrete knowledge.
agree – its sad that the scientific community has come to this point, as it diminishes faith in science

Vomit!
listening to Tom Swarbrick on LBC-he’s picked up on this idea put about by PHE that we need 2 days lockdown to 1 day freedom which has now been updated to a ratio of 5 days lockdown to 1 day freedom. To think the govt are mulling this decision. The reality is people will do their own thing.
ITN the same.This is so transparent.The Government was always going to open up and shut down after Christmas.
The’re just playing with us, like a cat with a mouse.
It’s a bit more like
torturingplaying with a cat or a dog with a lazer pointer.It has the very real possibility of driving Tibbles or Rex insane.
I am not kidding.This is because it really stimulates them, its hyper stimulation, possibly because of the movement, the brightness. The problem is, there is no reward or a down escalation of the excitement of the chase due to a capture. It’s an untouchable blob of light.
This can be very bad for animals and can lead to aggression and frustration but more worryingly the animal will start seek that level of stimulation. It is not unkonwn for dog’s, especially collies, (cos they are naturally mad) and cats to get super fixated on chasing lights and shadows or other bright or moving lights obsessively.
“Pet experts” say that if you really must make you cat dog chase a lazer spot then you should give them a go on their chewy teddy toy or whatever so they can resolve the chase phase and go into the catch phase regularly.
A lazer light could potentially damage their eyes too. So don’t do it.
The psycho medico fascists are giving us our Xmas chewy squeaky teddy so they can drive us crazy chasing a lazer dot on the wall we will never be able to catch.
Good analogy!
Good comparison and also good that you’ve taken the time to draw attention to this very unpleasant laser ‘game’ torment.
Follow the money.Furlough until March.
just watching sky sports news . 6 premier league players from various clubs tested positive but with NO symptoms. Salah tested positive last friday and again today. No symptoms .
do we really think he has covid?
No.
It’s all bollocks. So they’re carrying traces of an endemic virus in their bodies, maybe. So what? No precautionary measures could stop it and they’re at absolutely no risk at all. It all needs to stop. Right now. All of it.
More chance of spreading hepatitis from all of their spitting
More to the point how come you can play on the same pitch, then hug a player at the end, the player you hug has Covid and yet you don’t have to self isolate for 14 days.
But when your leader of the country you do ? Being played are we ? Fat boy hiding from the media do to the 1 billion pound + bung to his mates.
Or in Barbados. Like he was when he was ahem seriously ill with the plague earlier in the year…
I suspect the Premier League and the Clubs will be used as part of the vaccination propaganda campaign.
It would be interesting what would happen if an elite player had severe vaccine side effects, and if an Insurance policy would payout what could easily be tens of millions in loss earnings and damages. I wonder what the clubs are really thinking given that young healthy players have zero Covid risk? and the Insurance policies probably have an exclusion.
Asymptomatic carrier = fear porn bs.

Lockdown corruption exposed. We can all debate the agendas, NWO and cabal’s, but this exposes the scam for what it is and the majority of people are not willing to pull back the curtain and admit that we are being mugged.
Tories giving out contracts and favours to their mates and donors? Who’d of thunk it!
Funny enough I posted that a little while ago. Always about the money. Never about the health.
Tired now! but want to give you my final report from my day:
This leaflet https://www.beautyandthebeastlytruth.com/post/covid-rules-sayno-use-this-to-print-your-own-leaflet
Mabel Cow did the front, I did the back, 2 friends checked it, and a 5th did the PDF and organised the printing and paid for it as well.
When on a train or tram I put just one out on a nearby seat, picture up. Placed prominently, almost as if it’s a person sitting there. Only one, so people don’t feel spammed and it takes them by surprise. Sometimes I don’t see it go – someone grabs it as they leave the tram/train.
Today: man walks by. Stops. Looks round. Goes closer. Leans in…….. takes out camera and takes a picture…. And finally grabs it.
On the underground, a girl takes a photograph and so does a man opposite. She’s fumbling with it in her eagerness, and he leans across asking her to turn it his way.
How many sceptical points to the person who first spots Mabel’s design on social media?
That’s brilliant!
Watching 1st dates, 2 elderly black people discussing growing up in London in the 60’s and encountering racism – signs in shops and pubs. No blacks and no Irish!!
Now we have no mask no entry!! in shops and pubs.
Strange days.
Dreaded zoom call today at work mention of the west coast people travelling to Edinburgh Xmas shopping and spreading their virus.
Strange days.
Sad
Racism against the Irish. How quant. Good to see that’s consigned to the past…..and just ignored. Well it’s ignored anyway. Funny old world. So easy to focus on the obvious.
Just wondering – does RTE employ lots of English presenters for its programmes?
to be sure we have but we cant fekin understand em
Oh – not to mention taking out my felt pen and changing the Keep your distance signs into
Have a hug for health.
and a poster about stray dogs because of the pandemic continuing into because of lockdwon continuing.
I reckon that’s more a thing for StandupX – flood the network with people with big permanent marker pens
Please will someone Tweet them?
Put an DNR sign on the door handle of #10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliamnt. And elsewhere.

Point made at the end re masks is very important. Once all those lovely masks have been provided by the MP’s friends, they must make sure you wear them.
And to think the Expenses Scandal seemed big once.
I can tell you something here – the expenses scandal was a scam in itself – it was there to cover up the corruption being driven through local authorities and disregard for the law. The people who worked in local authorities at the time who stood against it were targeted and there were IDK how many suicides, but several, and I had trouble keeping my husband alive.
Instead of using the existing trained staff, they brought in ‘consultants’ and £ megabucks disappeared into their pockets. My husband actually won his case for constructive and unfair dismissal that exposed the practice …. and the MSM ignored it. We alerted them and they knew about it but all ignored it.
At this time UK Column were setting up for the same reason …. but we didn;t know about them. 2008 That’s one reason I have an anxiety condition, it’s one reason for some of my understanding of what’s going on …. and it helps to drive my fury over what they have done to us, to countless individuals, and to our nation
Enjoy the Christmas Lockdown Concession while you can.
We’re going into Enhanced Brexit Lockdown on January 1st and the only escape from that will be on a stretcher, feet first.
Might be out of the EU, straight into the New World Order.
Jean-Claude Juncker seemed good in comparison to our new tyrant Klaus Schwab.
The EU are part of the same tyranny.The problem is we have no patriotic politicians;only bought and paid for globalists.

Why arent their more influential legal minds fighting this, surely this is all going to affect them too, their families, friends etc. Also business, everyone seems to be just accepting the facts that their lives are falling apart.
So, the military is getting an extra £4bn a year to spend on “cyber defence”…
I do wonder what that is going to be spent on. Any theories?
Maybe it has something to do with this on the Telegraph.

No doubt we are the ‘enemy’.
Thanks GCHQ for helping to enslave us under the World Economic Forum Great Reset tyranny.
Buying compromised Chinese software to counter the cyber threat from Russia while ignoring corrupting infiltration of our institutions by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Soros?
I can’t understand the supposed threat from Russia.We have no land border or competing intrests.We have very little trade therefore no reason to make an enemy.The real threat to our independence comes from the EU,USA and the UN.
Russia = red herring.
Russia’s western border is now almost the same as after the Bolsheviks surrendered vast swathes of territory in return for peace at the treaty of Brest Litovsk.
No wonder some of them are pissed off.
Over to you Moriarty.
Hummm….cash for GCHQ,Ai Who knows, all kinds of fancy stuff. Interesting.
Hookers and blow.
Check out Uk Column!
You could ask mayo or mutznutz ?
For ‘defence’ I think we can safely assume that a very large part will be offence. How much I wonder will be used for ‘defence’ against members of the British public who don’t like being lied to by the tyrannical UK establishment.
I think we are fast heading towards being a permanent police state. The state sees enemies everywhere, to the extent it has to make them up.
That was a curious step change. When the Ministry Of War became the Ministry Of Defence.
It’s a sad state of affairs when scientists can be bought as easily as MPs
Reminds you of the church. Will we get a Lutheran uprising?
Why no mixing in households? No logical reason, how dare they.
Where does logic factor in any of this? We’re in the the post logic era. Confusion reigns.
There is a big difference between being alive and living a life.
This business of shielding , isolating, ‘protecting’ the elderly and now potentially depriving them of Christmas with their families, is actual cruelty.
But why is it happening? Is it because the elderly themselves want to stay alive for a few more months or years or is it because their offspring want them to stay alive as long as possible so that they do not have to deal with the emotional pain of losing them?
Or is it that they’ve been convinced that’s how they should feel?
Exactly. How dare they. What gives them the power to destroy our lives?
We loaned them that power back in March and now they are doing everything possible not to return it.
Quick summary for the US.

https://usrtk.org/biohazards-blog/ecohealth-alliance-orchestrated-key-scientists-statement-on-natural-origin-of-sars-cov-2/
More things come out every day over of further suspicious cover up of the origin of Sars Cov-2.These are not conspiracy theories but serious concerns from scientists about the Wuhan’s lab work and ,ironically, the heavy US involvement. One of the key players is Lancet which early on published an article saying no laboratory virus leak but zoonotic transmission. Now we know, see link, that the scientists in Lancet was stage managed to hide Eco alliance involvement in dangerous work in Wuhan and indirectly NIH and Fauci.
Recommend for those interested to follow Rossana Sagrato who has just published the paper
The genetic structure of SARS‐CoV‐2 does not rule out a laboratory origin She is on https://twitter.com/Rossana38510044
Alina Chan is also reliable about these issues https://twitter.com/Ayjchan
These are not conspiracy theorists but serious researchers wanting to know why you cannot discuss strange issue with the SarscCov-2 virus like that an intermediate animal has not been found(contrary to Sars) and the human adaption of the virus.Now concerns about this is coming out also in MSM(Relman’s article) and this is not a taboo theme.More and more difficult to hide these concerns.
I came across accusations about US involvement, especially implicating Fauci, right at the start. It would be good if this got greater airing and more investigation.
NEWSNIGHT REVIEW
Gabriel Gatehouse has really gone downhill,
Do BBC reporters have no self knowledge at all? Gatehouse criticises Trump supporters for doing in relation to the Q Anon source exactly what the BBC did (for two years or more) in relation to Tom Watson’s allegations of elite conspiracies – amplifying unfounded conspiracy theories…except given what we know about Jeffrey Epstein’s activities, there’s probably more to the Q Anon narrative than there was to Tom Watson’s!
The whole report was pathetic, built around an obvious Biden-supporting journo posing as impartial when she clearly wasn’t.
Gatehouse asserted, baldly, there had been no election fraud. Amazing! Is Gatehouse some sort of superhero who was able to simultaneously visit every polling place and inspect the innards of every voting machine? I’m guessing the answer is no, and that he was BSing when he made his assertion. We do now know that a board member of Dominion is now on Biden’s transition team and the Chairman of the board for Smartmatic’s owners is one Lord Malloch-Brown, extremely entwined with Soros personally and with Soros’s front organisations. There are affadavits showing Dominion products were developed specifically with electoral malpractice in mind.
His attempts to catch out ordinary Republican voters were more worthy of one of Sacha Baron-Cohen’s Borat set-ups, than an honest journalist.
He seemed to think it outrageous that Trump supporters should chant “CNN Sucks”. Hasn’t he ever watched CNN? No pretence of impartiality! They hate Trump! They burst into joyful tears when Biden is declared the winner (by CNN).
Throughout the piece he wore his filthy face rag as a badge of honour, as do all the Democrat press corps, our Sopel included.
All together now: “BBC Sucks!”.
Boycott the BBC!
Back in the summer, when the White House was under attack by Antifa and BLM thugs, the US Defense Sec and the Chairman of the joint chiefs, Gen Milley, both refused to allow troops to be deployed. You may recall that Trump himself had to pay to bring in an outside security force.
Well, we know that Trump terminated Esper and replaced him with Chris Miller (a former Green Beret regarded as an expert in defeating insurgencies). Today, a reorganisation of all special forces took place. Every special force unit has been taken off the navy, army and air forces, and they have been consolidated into a fourth branch of the military with equal standing to the other three services. Moreover, they will now report directly to a civilian in the Defence Department. In this case it reports to acting Under Secretary of Defence, Mr Ezra Cohen Watnick, who was for some time an aide to General Flynn.
So, what do you make of this?
Get all your loyalists in charge of the military and using the excuse of an epidemic get your soldiers on the streets to suppress dissent and organise yourself a coup to stay in power which would of course be the end of American democracy and the downfall of its empire.
Coups never end well.
The Insurrection Act
The Insurrection Act was designed to limit the President’s power to use active duty troops deployed on American soil, with the exception of use in the following situations:
In 2006, the Insurrection Act was amended to approve the use of U.S. forces at home under the following circumstances:
Seems to me the authors had to muddy the waters in order to get the study published. Of note — there was no statistical difference between the groups and that should have been the end of the story, however, they had to suspend disbelief by saying that if one ignores conventional levels of statistical significance there might be a possible reduction in infection by mask wearers. I’ve done graduate level statistics and I know that data can be manipulated by statistics (removing outliers) and the statistical analysis itself can effect a particular outcome, but apparently in 2020 it’s perfectly fine to simply dispense with the notion of statistical significance altogether…unless I’m reading it incorrectly (I wasn’t very good at statistics!). Seems a lot like the PCR test — if we just increase the amplification cycles beyond anything reasonable we can get the result we want.
From the study:
“…a recommendation to wear a surgical mask when outside the home among others did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, incident SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with no mask recommendation. We designed the study to detect a reduction in infection rate from 2% to 1%. Although no statistically significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 incidence was observed, the 95% CIs are compatible with a possible 46% reduction to 23% increase in infection among mask wearers.”
Did I leave my coat here last night ?
Haven’t seen it – if I find it I’ll leave it at lost property
There are various levels to this larger contextual scenario in terms of invested identity.
As Talk Radio’s Julia noted, those who are part of the establishment are unwilling for the most part to even question or openly question the framing of the deceit, and so will express their position in terms of what they have to see, think or believe – or profess to believe – as their own survival within an established identity.
Many of the general public have no less investment in the medical establishment as their protector against disease and death, along with the NHS and bodies such as WHO as the effective monopoly of expertise and provision of protection.
‘Covbollox’ represents the ‘long grass’ of persistent entanglement in details, that could matter, if they were allowed to be part of a consistent and logical and practical view, rather than the tactic of evasion and obfusaction in time and resource consuming diversion. No one is really listening, in the arena of corporate politics (to anything except strategic analysis of all communication as personal reinforcement… or threat)
The unwillingness to allow any questions that are not within the establishment narrative is where the blatant conspiracy of deceit operates through the blind eye given to no-go areas that are protected by pejorative ‘cancel’ terms such as antivaxxer, denialist, Icke, conspiracy theorists and etc. The weaponisation of language as the means to deny a voice is the denial of the capacity to illuminate the nature of the deceits such as to reveal it as a masking agenda, by which to be kept in the dark, in conflict, in dependency, and under a mind of control – as distinct from freedom to love and to be ourselves – free of deceit and conflict agenda.
No science is required to recognise the framing of blatant propaganda set in terror campaign, to establish the ‘attack’ that attracts the guilt for NOT aligning in compliance with the ‘defence’ that is the actual attack or leverage upon the minds, reactions and redistribution of rights, wealth and control.
