The Government is considering extending lockdown beyond June 21st to protect those who refuse the vaccine from the Indian Covid variant. While one minister warned against “stigmatising” those who don’t take the vaccine, another told Politico: “The risk is that a small number of [unvaccinated] idiots ruin it for everyone else.” The MailOnline has more.
Tensions are rising within Government as the more transmissible [Indian] strain threatens to derail the roadmap, which should see all legal restrictions lifted from next month.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng insisted this morning he is still “confident” that the schedule can be kept despite anxiety about surging cases in “hotspots”.
However, he warned against “stigmatising” those who do not want to get jabs…
Meanwhile, there is swirling speculation that local curbs might be needed in England to keep the wider easing on track – with Scotland already targeting restrictions on specific areas.
The wrangling is escalating as Boris Johnson urged families to adopt a “heavy dose of caution” with the ban on indoor socialising and hugs finally ending today.
In a guarded statement before revellers packed into pubs to celebrate the lifting of restrictions, the Prime Minister said the emergence of the Indian strain of coronavirus meant the restored freedoms should be exercised carefully.
Discussions around extending lockdown beyond June 21st are not without their parliamentary critics – but will there be enough?
Sir Graham Brady, a senior Tory MP, urged the Prime Minister not to “panic” over the new variant, which is still rare in the U.K..
And his colleague Iain Duncan Smith said it was “bonkers” to even consider further delays to reopening when evidence suggested existing vaccines worked against the Indian strain…
Former Tory leader Sir Iain said: “People are getting in a panic about this new variant, when we should be celebrating the fact that the vaccines work – it is bonkers.
“Ministers have to avoid the Corporal Jones mentality, tell the scientists to get back to their labs and get on with giving people back their freedom.”

Blame the unvaccinated! It was obvious this was coming. The sad fact is that many of the brainwashed population will fall for it!
Since a couple of Delingpole’s podcasts were deleted on YouTube he isn’t going to post all of them on YouTube anymore.. because he doesn’t want to risk being banned..
If anyone knows if visual ones are available anywhere I would be grateful for the link. Assuming of course all the podcasts are visual.
The latest one is a must listen – Nina.

Here’s just one of the 4000+ deaths reported on the VAERS system so far:
VAERS ID 0913143-1 “Vaccine administered with no immediate adverse reaction at 11:29am. Vaccine screening questions were completed and resident was not feeling sick and temperature was at 98F. At approximately 1:30pm the resident passed away.”
Dead in 2 hours.
But i’m sure it was just a coincidence.
Forced vaccinations are coming.. and then they will be regular.. boosters.. a money spinner for sure.. digital ID.. but they will (if not already) be weaponized.
As usual, complete lies from Govt.
It’s irrelevant if anyone not interested in vaccination passes.
Please read Dr. Peter McCullough’s recent remarks on the vaccinated and unvaccinated. 60% of his recent COVID patients who sought treatment for COVID, were VACCINATED, with two doses of COVID vaccine. There is a 1% difference between the vaccinated and unvaccinated getting COVID according to Dr. McCullough, in other words the vaccines are meaningless. He worries next fall winter, there may be a massive increase in deaths of the vaccinated due to their immune systems over reacting and killing them. He isn’t the only doctor sounding the alarm.
I am a “vaccine” refusnik. I am not “hesitant”. I understand scientific arguments. I can read. I can weigh up arguments and counter-arguments. I can smell a steaming pile of b.s. from a mile off. I do not consent to participating in a mass experiment, purely to amuse our so-called leaders. Call me an idiot if it makes you feel better about yourself. I will not take these unnecessary drug cocktails. Period.
It took many years for the doctors at the Centre for Epilepsy to adjust and readjust my brother’s medication to the point where his seizures at last became infrequent, and until a few weeks ago he had been seizure-free for well over a year. He’d become more confident, sometimes almost forgetting he had this terrible affliction. He’d also come through treatment for prostate cancer. He was looking towards a holiday.
Then they gave him the jab.
In the fortnight since, he’s had two seizures. Over the decades my brother has suffered, among other injuries, a fractured shoulder, two broken wrists, one broken arm, and extensive and painful bruising, all acquired during seizures, for which he has no warning, and which can be quite violent.
His doctors have stopped the second jab while they ‘look into it’. The last I heard was that they’re ‘looking into’ a different vaccine. I have begged him not to have any more jabs but, surrounded by carers and ‘medical professionals’, it will be done before I know it.

So very depressing, no actually – anger inducing.
So many young, healthy people signing up to get themselves stabbed, all posting on Facebook accompanied by so many YAYs and Well Done’s and love n care emoticons.
So ignorant, so stupid, so gullible. So lacking in ability to question, to assess truth and facts vs lies and propaganda. So devoid of common sense. So uneducated in basic biology. So dumbly compliant.
Makes me think the human race deserves all that is coming.

How is an indoor gathering different to lots of people in a supermarket?

WTF happened to the coverage of the masses of Freedom Rally’s all over the world? Not least London and the rest of the UK. The lack of it is one of the more sinister elements of this whole sorry pile of SH1T. ‘Telegram’ covered loads of marches all over the world. Nowhere to be seen elsewher. Not even on LS that I’ve been able to find to date. Did it not happen? Did I imagine it?
Here we go – right on cue – it’s all our fault (apparently) that Lockdown Heavy might get extended (despite the Government’s firm promise it wouldnt) – all because the lady (and the gent) won’t get jabbed. So far so predictable of the Government.
The risk is that a small number of megalomaniac f*ckwits, desperate to turn Britain into a totalitarian state, infect the minds of the “great” British population.
“The Risk Is That a Small Number of Idiot ministers Ruin It for Everyone Else,” Say unvaccinated
there, fixed it for you.
Actually it would seem that it’s most of idiot ministers. But good comment anyway.
“unvaccinated” is problematic, since (at least some of) these genetically-engineered biological agents are not vaccines. Plus, of course, almost all of us have had some kind of vaccine.
Anyway Curzon seems to have
plagiarizedtaken inspiration from you!https://www.bournbrookmag.com/home/ministers-not-the-unvaccinated-are-ruining-it-for-everybody-else
Questions for those legal eagles amongst us.
At what point would accusing the unjabbed as being responsible for any oppressive Government measures be considered a hate crime?
At what point would accusing the unjabbed of being responsible for any oppressive Government measures be considered ‘coercion’ under the Nuremberg Code?
I don’t need to be lectured, I just ask how far can this go before it crosses these boundaries.
Considering that a lot of BAME and Muslim people won’t be getting the “vaccines” – either due to past medical crimes against humanity against minorities or due to religious reasons, I think we can build a pretty good coalition with them.
We can, at a push, even use the Woke to say this is racial discrimination. It would probably work.
Would you expect to keep your job if you called your manager an “idiot” in a thinly veiled threat? Even if the identity of this low-life scumbag was revealed, we know there’d be no repercussion for him/her demonising innocent members of the public like this.
Yet I fully expect such language will become common, and the public will feel completely free and entitled to treat us the same way. I believe he/she is deliberately changing the dynamics and mood of the public at a time when everyone is in high spirits about returning to what they hope will be the old normal.
The minister might even be fictional, an inventional of SAGE’s behavioural psychologists, using the job title “minister” to suggest an authority figure.
Yes absolutely. This is undoubtedly the beginning of another ‘behaviour nudge’ which, as you say, could be being tested via a fictional minister.
Rightly or wrongly, from a rhetorical point of view “a cleaner at the Palace of Westminster said…” doesn’t work as well as “a minister said…”
Let’s not.
“The risk is that a small number of [unvaccinated] idiots ruin it for everyone else.”
Rather than name calling, why doesn’t the senior minister just publish the proof that non-participation, in the programme of experimental injection of genetically-engineered biological agents, cannot be a rational decision?
“The risk is that a small number of idiots ruin it for everyone else.”
Well, that will be a change from the large number of mask-wearing, hand-gelling, stay-at-home, idiots ruining it for everyone else, as they have been for the past year.
BRILLIANTLY PUT.
Just thought I’d add this, too:

You need to be very careful with things like this.

“I might not agree with what you say and do but respect your right to your view and decisions”?
Mail on line, quoting a Tory spokesperson: “Small number of idiot vaccine refusenicks putting Covid recovery at risk.
I have had my 2 jabs (no ill effects, as yet) but if people don’t want the vaccine then their wishes should and must be respected.
I am struck by how much space in this thread is devoted to a diversion about herd immunity and vaccines.
The essential point is that this unmoderated virus, within a sane historical perspective, nowhere nears justification for the sociopathic measures imposed upon the population.
And all it took was one government sponsored troll arguing the far end of a fart about stats. Still no reply yet for them to supply evidence of death by covid-19.
Exactly,
now why would so much energy be put in to divert from the simple obvious truth ?
Update on a potentially ‘new’ vaccine. Sanofi/GKS ‘vaccine’ based on a Sanofi flu virus started its delayed Phase 2 trials that take 1 year to complete. Because GKS has a particularly aggressive shareholder they are desperate for some good news for their share price. So they announced that the Phase 2 trials had performed so well to date, 1 month in, that they were going to go forward with Phase 3 ( 3 years to complete) and hoped to get emergency approval in Q4. Happily the share price went down.
However another rushed exercise with no actual numbers released and as most of the trials of 720 people were in the US with rapidly declining prevalence its likely the absolute risk reduction figures are negligable.
They have admitted that the ‘antibody’ creation in Phase 2 has not been as high as hoped, but apparently not many have died in the last month.
Small vaccine catastrophe, not many dead.
Those who are dead are, however, reported to be 100% dead.
“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser” Socrates may or may not have said this but whatever, it rings so true.
I’ve not been around for a few days but, if we accept that the Indian variant is more contagious, has this resulted in increased hospitalisations or, more to the point, deaths ?
NO!!!
I’m not sure there’s even any conclusive proof that it’s more contagious. Let’s fact it, they needed an excuse to keep restrictions around and force the reluctant to be vaccinated, so they can bring in vaccine passports. The “Indian Variant” is just a means to an end.
So the unvaxxed are idiots? That’s everyone under about the age of 40 then and quite a few above that. This psyops stuff is getting really boring at this point. And very blatant.
I don’t need protecting, you horrible, slimy hypocrites.
Theyre doubling down with the vaccinate or else rhetoric folks. Hilarious actually. They’re all under pressure by the great powers to do a better job. Lets make it harder for them. Do not give in. They’re weak pathetic sociopaths.
