Hong Kong is moving ahead with a vaccine passport scheme under which only those who have been vaccinated against Covid and who use a Government mobile phone app will be able to go to bars and nightclubs when they reopen on Thursday. All staff will also be required to have received at least one dose of a vaccine. The scheme will, according to a Government official, enable life in Hong Kong to “return to normal” – despite breaking from all that has previously been considered “normal”. Reuters has the story.
Hong Kong will reopen bars and nightclubs from April 29th for people who have been vaccinated and who use a Government mobile phone application, the Asian financial hub’s Health Secretary said on Tuesday.
Sophia Chan told a press briefing the measures extended to bathhouses and karaoke lounges and would enable the venues to stay open until 2 am. All staff and customers must have received at least one vaccine dose for the venue to be operational and they must operate at half capacity, she said.
“We all hope life can return to normal but we need to allow some time for everyone to adapt to these new measures,” Chan said.
The former British colony has recorded over 11,700 total coronavirus cases, far lower than other developed cities…
Chan’s announcement comes as authorities try to incentivise residents to get vaccinated with only around 11% of the city’s 7.5 million population having received their first vaccine dose.
The take up of vaccines has been sluggish since the scheme began in the Chinese special administrative region in February due to a lack of confidence in China’s Sinovac vaccine and fears of adverse reactions.
Hong Kong began vaccinating residents with doses from Sinovac in February and started offering a vaccine developed by Germany’s BioNTech in March.
Under the new scheme, restaurant-goers who have not been vaccinated will have to sit in designated areas, away from those who have received a vaccine.
Restaurants will set up different areas for customers who are not vaccinated and for those who choose to write their contact details down on paper rather than registering with the government app. This segment will only be allowed to dine up to four people to a table [whereas the “vaccinated zone” will be permitted to dine up to six customers per table].

Isn’t the most obvious recent example that racist, far-left piece of filth Ricky Jones who called for white people to have their throats slit for daring to be outraged over the slaughter of three little girls? That’s a good test for the ‘impartial’ system surely?
Yes, and the female Ethnic Indian Sikh Jaswant Narwal, chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, bizarrely decided not to charge the Far Left Ethnic African with “encouraging mass murder” of Indigenous British People, but only with “encouraging violent disorder”, to ensure that he will receive a more lenient sentence, as if he were only telling people to brandish pieces of wood, like the British pensioner given three years in prison.
Oh dear.——Asking for throats to be slit is apparently not as serious as pointing out where all the migrant hotels are.
Sadly you overlook the behaviour of the Left and Far Left recently.
Remember all of them who took to the streets over the past months about Gaza.
Instead of bringing messages of peace and how to end the conflict they promoted genocide of Israelis ‘from the river to the sea’ which is also racist and antisemitic.
The hypocrisy is not all. These are criminal offences and hate crimes but the police have done nothing – two tier Kier – two tier policing.
The Left and Far Left did the same on the basis of fake false flag 100 alleged Far Right demonstrations – which no one to date has established the origin of and which never took place and could never have taken place because no Far Right people or organisations have been identified which could have taken part.
There is loads of video – so the police could still do something about the behaviour of the Left and Far Left over the past year and enforce the law without fear or favour against the Left and Far Left criminals.
Thanks to Toby Young for providing a summary of that paywalled Telegraph article (the Telegraph soon to be taken over by Iraqi Muslim Zahawi), which reflects the sense of appallingly harsh injustice being meted out to over 900 British People, some as young as 12 years old, for protesting against Mass Third World Immigration, or even posting an emoji, while Armed Muslim Gangs are allowed to rampage through Britain’s streets at will, with Zero Arrests. Have the Pakistani Muslims who attacked police at the airport even been charged?
Perhaps we should not be surprised, considering that Marxist Starmer appointed a Pakistani Muslim woman as UK Justice Minister. We remember how that worked out with Pakistani Muslim Hunza as Justice Minister in Scotland, shoving Disguised Sharia Law through the Scottish parliament.
News today said that Italian Closet Globalist Meloni now wants to snuggle up to Starmer as she did with Sunak, but in reality all trying to drag Britain back into the EUSSR:

Powerful comment
Thank you, Varmint, for that encouragement, which is an extremely rare thing for me on here.
Eh well I cannot remember if I have disagreed with you on some things. Maybe I have. Maybe some other people have as well, but credit where it is due.
Don’t forget Clive Lewis. Apparently young women are ”far right fascists” for speaking up about keeping women’s single-sex spaces for females only;
”Norwich South Labour MP Clive Lewis encouraged counter-protesters to ‘fight the fascists’ yesterday, encouraging violence against young students advocating for female only spaces.
This is incitement of violence.
If we were chanting this against the left, we would be in custody.
Why is Clive Lewis able to get away with this? @NorfolkPolice
any comment?
In 2017, Clive was cleared of Sexual Harassment after being accused of groping a woman at the Labour Annual Conference.
Nowadays, he encourages men to walk inside women’s facilities. If a woman feels uncomfortable with this, he sees HER as the problem, and NOT the man who has invaded her privacy.
His pal – Hugh Stanners – is a known violent extremist left activist in Norwich. He has been known to incite violence and cause criminal damage to property in the past. This behaviour is hardly surprising from him.
Could you just imagine the uproar if we were shouting ‘Fight The Transgenders?’ We would have been arrested on the spot. So many people didn’t speak yesterday because they feared getting arrested. So why can Clive Lewis and Hugh Stanners get away with this?
@NorfolkPolice
, after we moved away from them (under your guidance) in an attempt to disconnect their microphones from our speaker, you allowed them to walk closer to us. Why is that? We deserve and demand actions to your awful policing yesterday.
Why did you allow them to move closer to us whilst shouting ‘Fight the Fascists’”

These are the so-called ‘fascists’ he’s referring to. How very dare girls and women expect to use female changing rooms/toilets and not have to worry about coming across penis-owners in there? How very discriminatory against perverts!
”Over the weekend my followers, James Harvey organised a Students Against Tyranny event in Norwich – Keep Female Spaces Female.
MP Clive @labourlewis
condemned it as “far-right”. He himself has been accused of anti-Semitism.
He has referred to a woman, “get down on your knees b*tch”.

Haven’t we reached the stage where everybody is born a Far-Right fascist until they can prove otherwise and be granted the right to limited freedoms?
When everybody is Far Right or Fascist or Islamophobe – then nobody is.
And since police are reviewing past social media, will they also be reviewing Joe Brand’s broadcast comment about throwing acid at Nigel Farage instead of a milkshake?
And what about those who have said the riots and racism were caused by Nigel Farage, the result of which is he is now getting police protection arranged by the Home Office.
Two tier?
Could there be a better way of dealing with the disrespecters of the state than the sort of thing as in the courtroom scene in Ghostbusters 2?
Well this man has been sent down for merely sharing memes. He didn’t create them, he didn’t post any text, he just shared them. But this is the odious Facebook again and it should be avoided like the plague. This sounds like fifty shades of vanilla compared to what gets shared on Twitter. Zuckerberg would have kittens, including if he saw what we post on this site!
I expect all these people getting sent to jail are being advised by their lawyers to plead guilty so as to get a reduced sentence. It’s a bloody scam and they’ve got you over a barrel however you look at it because how can it ever be deemed proportionate to send somebody to prison for posting or resharing memes, FGS? And are they getting sent to category A prisons as well? Totally insane this is;
”A FIFTY-one-year-old Egremont man has become the latest person in the county to be jailed for posting racially aggravated online social media posts linked to national civil unrest.
Sellafield worker Lee Joseph Dunn, of Church Street, appeared at Carlisle Magistrates’ Court this afternoon (Monday).
Dunn pleaded guilty to one offence. He admitted sending, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.
His crime occurred on July 30 and 31 and involved three shared Facebook posts.
Prosecutor George Shelley said Dunn had posted three separate images. The first one showed a group of men, Asian in appearance, at Egremont crab fair 2025, with the caption: “Coming to a town near you.”
The second also showed a group of men, Asian in appearance leaving a boat on to Whitehaven beach. This, said Mr Shelley, had the caption: “When it’s on your turf, then what?”
A final image showed a group of men, again Asian in appearance, wielding knives in front of the Palace of Westminster. There was also a crying white child in a Union flag T-shirt. This was also captioned, said Mr Shelley, with the wording: “Coming to a town near you.”

Sinister or what? ———I remember learning all about the Nazi Regime. I was learning history as by learning about it means hopefully people won’t repeat it. We are getting to the stage now where the Liberal Progressive Tyranny that is really about intolerance all in the name of tolerance will have us wearing a “far right” badge on our lapels, so we can be name called and screamed at by the leftist mob from their castles on top of the moral high ground. —-Instead of “Crystal Nacht” we may well have “Gans Rechts Nacht”.
Thanks are due to Richard Eldred for posting the link to that article about the Sellafield worker in the Cumberland News and Star, in today’s News Round-Up more than 15 hours ago. You will find it there, along with comments about it.
Starmer, the Pakistani Muslim woman he appointed as UK Justice Minister, and the judges eagerly throwing Indigenous Brits into prison without trial by jury, are forgetting this:
“Clause 39 of the Magna Carta of 1215, as translated from the original Latin, provides that:
No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.
This clause was included as Chapter 29 in the 1225 version of Magna Carta.
It is not Statute Law. It is COMMON LAW.
The English protesters against Mass Third World Immigration nobody voted for are being imprisoned by single judges, without Trial by Jury of their peers, or “the lawful judgement of their equals”, thereby violating their Common Law Rights under the Magna Carta.
Jeez quite incredible—–What a beadie eyed parasite Starmer is.
That’s a good description of him. I also think his eyes are strange and shrewd.
Probably all politicians and media people who endlessly brainwash people about the “Climate Crisis” causing easily manipulated dreamers to throw paint in Art Galleries, block roads, climb on buildings, spray paint banks and businesses etc etc should be jailed for inciting unnecessary disruption to ordinary people. ——-The term “Climate Crisis” is a political one not based on any empirical science designed to instil fear and causes certain types of people to behave irrationally.
I read all of Michael Deacon’s column yesterday, particularly the item on the Crown Prosecution Service consulting “Local Panels”. This STASI-like idea of anonymous people snitching on fellow citizens has caused a great deal of under-the-line comment in the Telegraph. It is quite simply outrageous that the CPS is collecting evidence from illegitimate sources. I hope the DS highlights this matter very soon.
