Boris Johnson has told Conservative MPs that he would like to scrap the “one-metre plus” rule in hospitality settings when the last step of the “roadmap” out of lockdown is reached on June 21st. Doing so would help businesses damaged by lockdown to get back on their feet, the Prime Minister said. The MailOnline has the story.
The Prime Minister said eliminating the measure was the “single biggest difference” the Government could bring about in order to get Britain’s pubs back into action, and he was eager for the rule to be scrapped by June 21st…
As long as the rule is in force, pubs, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and other hospitality businesses remain financially unviable, having to legally keep customers separated while using their premises, industry leaders have warned.
Many have had to keep their doors closed throughout the coronavirus crisis.
Britain’s daily Covid deaths have fallen by more than a third in a week as seven more victims and 2,874 positive tests were recorded. Yesterday’s infections were up slightly on the 2,657 last Thursday, a rise of about eight per cent, but the national case rate has remained stable since April.
More than 37 million people have now received one vaccine injection – the equivalent of more than 70% of all adults – and 21.2 million are fully inoculated.
But the rise of the Indian Covid variant had sparked concerns that plans to end social distancing measures were in jeopardy, but on Wednesday Mr Johnson told the 1922 Committee of Tory MPs he was confident about abolishing the one-metre plus rule next month.
He said: “We are hopeful we can do that at the end of the road map.” But Mr Johnson added that it depends on figures “continuing in the right direction”…
One MP who was at the 1922 meeting said: “[Boris] seemed very upbeat about removing the one-metre-plus rule next month.”

Oh my Gawd. The parallels with Domestic Abuse are stunning. I mean, you can go out now and speak to other men, because I’m going to be with you at all times. You can scrap the 1M rule because I have plans to watch your every move and triangulate it to within the inch. So I’ll know EXACTLY how close you stood to each other.
This is government by abuse …
The parallels are striking – except that the title ‘Controlling Relationship Behaviour’ might be more appropriate for this purpose, as this is the underlying objective.
Here’s a excerpt from the CPS site on abusive/coercive behaviour.

Behaviour of the perpetrator can include:
Even if this goes ahead Boris has already caused unnecessary irreparable damage.
It is unforgiveable.
“He would like to …” Sorry Boris, but signalling of good intent is hollow when actions don’t follow.
Oh thanks Boris! And how are you going to achieve that?
By the only safe way possible, technological surveillance developed by the Chinese Communist Party.
Once again : verbatim quotation including several Covidmania terms, with no critical correction.
Except of course1 metre is actually quite close for a prolonged period of time, as the following list illustrates:
Average comfort levels of personal space distance in the U.S.:
Well yes but some people LIKE crowds, at least some of the time, or are happy to put up with them in order to be able to do a particular activity or attend an event. Crowded pubs, bars, sports and music events, clubs, parties, all involve getting close to various people including perfect strangers. Will those kinds of events and settings ever be allowed to return to normal?
About the same here for most people?
The Pig Dictator is a cunt
Apologies just no other way of saying that
No apology needed. You speak the truth.

Woman – I can see that from looking at your trousers.
Kid (thought bubble) – What a twat!
Sop. As most of us have predicted, they will retain (medically pointless but harmful) compulsory masking. Why? Because it is the only thing that will keep “the crisis” going. No masks, no crisis. They will spin it out till Autumn when they can then point to rising Covid numbers (as it returns being a seasonal Coronavirus). That will then be used to further continue masking and introduce a Digital Compliance ID scheme.
If Toby can’t see it he must be wilfully blind.
No he doesn’t – he’s trying to fool the public into thinking he is a Libertarian but we now know otherwise.
BTW if you haven’t watched UKColumn do so – it was even better than normal!
It’s stunning, and I mean it in the way that it will stun you! I took plenty of notes!
The Friday episode is normally awful but the FOI request at the start was stunning – but not surprising.
I had doubts about what “rigorous analysis” had been carried out right from the start. If you recall 2 nurses, both with a history of allergic reactions, suffered anaphylactic shock on the first day of the rollout.
This was odd because included in the Pfizer Protocol document is a list of EXLUSION (from the Trial) criteria. This is Number 3 :
When I hear one of these ‘announcements’ I usually assume that the opposite is going to happen. Sadly, I’m usually right!!
EVERYTHING is inverted now.
Exactly.
Just a few days before and we will be told Bozo has been overruled by the Cabinet and “the science.” At least he tried, he did his best, but…
Bozo retains his “libertarian” credentials and the abuse continues.
Fuck Off Johnson.
Translation: it will all be someone else’s fault when he doesn’t scrap the absurd restrictions.
I don’t care what this tw@t says. I look forward to seeing him in the dock, alongside his chums…
The little girl in the pink anorak looks highly sceptical about the whole thing. I think I’ll vote for her as PM in the next election
Methought I lay
Worse than the zombies with the elbows.
Oops, didn’t know there was such a rule and judging other people’s behaviour I don’t think I’m the only one LMFAO.
I’m sure the bed wetters appreciate the news however.
More than 4 weeks to 21st June so why even report this bullshit???
This is the set up stage.
Elbow bumping – the perfect way to show the world you’re a fucking idiot.
And fist bumping!
I’d like to bump his face with my fist!
“More than 37 million people have now received one vaccine injection – the equivalent of more than 70% of all adults – and 21.2 million are fully inoculated. ”
NO! They are NOT fully inoculated!
Fully poisoned.
i say scrap Boris
“I wanted to, but big boys wouldn’t let me, it’s not my fault. Regretfully/heavy heart/yadda yadda yadda…”
When a wicked person is in charge, it’s always winter and never Christmas. Ask any Narnian.
Once again, straight out of the “1984” playbook: lower the chocolate ration from 25 grams to 20; “memory-hole” all evidence that it was ever 25 grams; then announce an increase in the chocolate ration from 15 to 20 grams and wait for the sheeple to rejoice.
Exactly the same thing here: in January, the big announcement that, so that all restrictions could finally be ended and forever, the “road to freedom” was going to be really slow, running from January through to June. But the reason it would be slow was that, that way, it would be final and total.
But now, oddly, all that seems to have vanished down the “memory hole”. Now, every announcement that anything will or might be ended on June 21st is treated – also by Lockdown Sceptics, depressingly – like it’s a little extra bonus that we really never had any right to expect.
We should be too busy protesting against the tyranny to actually care how many metres they are permitting you.
And when you do get chocolate, it tastes like the smoke from a rubbish fire. Like all the Fascists’ so-called concessions.
Just end all restrictions including any idea of vaccine passports. And meanwhile Whatsapp have updated people’s group settings to everyone. What is going on?
They’re saying this was done in 2019
https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/05/19/whatsapp-group-settings-scam/
but I’ve been using it for at least 10 years at work without having my colleagues as contacts.
Can’t see how it can be used for scams – if you’re added to a group you’ll see the group’s messages. if you don’t want to see them you can leave the group.

Where was and is the pandemic?
quite
and now from the BBC
“The ONS says there are signs of a “potential increase” in England”
a potential increase isn’t actually an increase.
potential
/pə(ʊ)ˈtɛnʃ(ə)l/
adjective
so its also potentially stable or potentially decreasing
ie its not going up now but in might in the future. risible
Well done, Cecil, for grabbing that interesting illustration of the fiction. Only one instance – but I bet it reflects a nationwide pattern.
The term ‘pandemic’ was deliberately detached from any notion of severity and mortality by the WHO.
Bury not burn?
Actually the terrorists surely prefer cremation, makes an autopsy impossible, covers the lies about cause of death.
UK Column (Friday) also did a piece comparing numbers of various crematoriums/cemetaries and showed there was no appreciable difference in numbers between 2021 and previous years. A fact that I think all of us on here pretty much suspected.
Lines up with the ONS weekly reports. In that area, the last 10 weeks have been below the 5 year average from 2015 – 2019. Evidently no reason for the Council to invest more in the Crem.
They’re giving up on vaccines and moving straight to passports. Ultimate goal
if we all made out we were going to get rid of our smartphones because we don’t want the app – then I’m sure Apple will start ‘having a word’
I actually have thought about this. There really is a big assumption that everyone has a smartphone. But if they can discriminate against those who are unvaccinated (which is clearly illegal and happening now in the States) then they can surely do so with phone ownership.
By now if should be clear to everyone that there is a slow change of control from sovereign and democratically run nations to a globalist fascist-like system (all in thebname of climate change). There is slow bleed of wealth and private property (intellectual, physical) into corporate hands. Inflation is rampant. This is an engineered crisis.
Boris Johnson in a nutshell!
the emperor’s (Boris) new clothes
Something widely accepted as true or professed as being praiseworthy due to an unwillingness of the general population to criticize it or be seen as going against popular opinion. Taken from the Hans Christian Andersen fable of the same name, in which a vain king is sold imaginary clothing (i.e., nothing at all) by two weavers who promise him that it is visible only to the wise and cannot be seen by those who are ignorant, incompetent, or unfit for their position.
I love the Internet there’s lots of info and fun out there.
Oh dear, what a poor little boy. Are the big bad MPs bullying the PM? He really really really wants to end all this (honest!) but those nasty ministers just won’t leave him alone.
FFS! You’re supposed to be in charge, so if you really mean it then SHOW SOME SPINE and DO IT!
“Boris Says He Wants to Scrap the “One-Metre Plus” Rule in Pubs on June 21st”
That this should be a headline says alot about where we are…
Boris says alot of things, they’re either lies or he doesn’t actually mean them.
I wouldn’t trust this fat swine as far as I could throw him (less than 1 metre-plus, I’d imagine).
The vaxports are a hidden factor in this, make no mistake.
Fuck this! The vaccines are going to kill millions.
