> Did care homes use powerful sedatives to speed Covid deaths?
no because dead customers are poor customers.
Like I’ve been saying for a while now: The plan has always been to lift restrictions and then manufacture a lot of cases. I give it about 2-3 weeks at most before the government says “After the public’s insistence with ending restrictions, we followed their request, and now cases are soaring out of control. This proves that we can never end restrictions.”
They will be able to keep us locked up forever. They have inflamed the covidiots (who now seemingly have the ultimate “I told you so”) into demanding even more restrictions, masks will become a legal requirement before long, and vaccine passports will be a certainty.
All because people are easy to brainwash.
As of this afternoon, vaccine passports are officially UKGOV policy.
So said Zahawi.
…the government has declared war on the public.
After months of lying. We all knew this would happen. If we, the unwashed, could see it, why couldn’t the MPs see it and stand up for the people who have paid their taxes to keep them in a job. A job, it seems to me, is vacuous and meaningless
They may well try to CLAIM that, but every time they try they will run up against greater levels of resistance than before. If there is one thing that is proliferating it is more resistant attitudes than those that dominated before knowledge of the government’s hypocrisy and deceit became widespread. Not necessarily among the people you speak to (although that may soon also start to change), but at least in vast swathes of the media, rather than insignificant pockets as previously.
The government will do exactly what the Communists all round the world have done to keep power. They will turn people against each other. All the gullible who fell for the hoax in the first place, will now become more vicious than ever. This will allow the Government to round up the unjabbed, stop protests, deplatform free thinking commentators.
Those citizens who will gladly watch their family, friends and neighbours being rounded up will not be so happy when their lives are curtailed even more and poverty kicks in. The damage will have been done.
Easy to brainwash, but almost impossible to convince them they have been brainwashed.
I think it was Mark Twain who said “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
Yes!
The Pingdemic is just lockdown under a different name. So much for Freedom Day.
We are the Sultans, the Sultans of Ping…
In the good ‘ole United Pingdom!
Yes, it’s “worth it”. It just depends on what you think we’re buying.
Nobody ever dying from the sniffles again? No, not that.
A total surveillance, total control State which can rule by diktat in a permanent state of temporary emergency? Cheap at twice the price.
This is a completely useless system that causes massive disruption far beyond any positive impact, due to its woeful performance at finding new cases.
cases being people who don’t know they are ill – mainly because they are not ill
Feels like the sheep are finally starting to listen to the sheepdogs.
I think when they removed negative tests as an entry requirement for venues, a lot of cult members joined the dots, especially since the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission.
I think a lot of people are finally going to delete that stupid T&T app now.
Although the WEF Bus is still moving, I feel like it’s lost a wheel this week.
Don’t panic, sir: they have plenty of spares!
Fortunately this problem will be over after the weekend, as by then the schools will be out (removing a lot of the false positive tests from the system) and the weather is turning cooler and wetter, thereby removing the incentive for the lazy and feckless to take a bit of unscheduled time off sunbathing.
What is more troubling is the fact that despite having an 80 seat majority, the government can’t just come out and say the common sense thing: “SARS-COV-2 is endemic now, and we have no excess mortality; there is no point in tracking and tracing cases; the T&T app is being retired, along with asymptomatic testing”.
Even if someone in government was sufficiently independently minded to want this, they would be trampled all over by SAGE, the 24 hour media, the so-called opposition in Parliament, the NHS lobby, the teachers’ lobby…
Have we ever had a weaker Government than this one?
Yet governments have succumbed all over the world. Psy opped too.
What does excess mortality show in other countries? There’s bugger all here.
In my 70+ years No

Isolation is critical because if people don’t, naturally acquired population immunity cannot be postponed any longer and hence, the scamdemic cannot be stretched for much longer.
That might be the theory, but the figures from the past year show that whatever pointless measures they put in place will have little or no impact on case numbers.
One way or another they are going to drag this on until it becomes linked to getting locked down for the climate and forced into the hell on Earth that is the digital techno health future that they have planned for us.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends

Yes – I quite agree, there is to be no escape: we will own nothing and will be …. very, very unhappy!
Presumably you have to have a smart-phone with the NHS app loaded on it in order to be pinged. Am I correct in thinking that out of a population of 66 million only 10 million people in the UK have the NHS app on a smart-phone? If so this pingdemic is occurring amongst those 10 million while the other 50 million carry on regardless? or do the pinged, dobb in their friends with no phone app?
I do not have a smart phone and have made every effort to block NHS test and trace on my landline, how would I ever be forced to isolate?
Why does everybody not just delete the NHS app from their phone and refuse to get tested?
Because some people have lives that are so stunted that they consist of going to work, supermarket, and possibly a few other tedious tasks such as ferrying their kids around. Why not try to get pinged for a nice, relaxing paid fortnight off?
Especially if you are employed in the bloated, incompetent, inefficient public sector.
If whoever has your number tests positive or is aware of a positive test in a setting where you have been e.g. hospitality, private members club, workplace, then they can give your number to the contact tracers and they will call you
You need to block the NHS numbers
The only conclusion is that this is lockdown through the back door. The government can claim to have returned our freedoms at the same time as letting the Covid App ping so many people that the country will grind to a halt. Of course, anybody with any brain cells in their head would not have downloaded the app in the first place (unless they want day days off work on full pay to enjoy the sunshine of course).
TECHY PEOPLE ONLY
If you want to install any NHS malware for exploring you can install Android Studio on your PC
You could also use it if they start making sure youve downloaded it in the future.

“We got a problem” highlights in interesting unsuccessful ambush on a vax pass opponent by GMB
BTW notice how the sounds goes when she makes interesting points.
I didn’t download the app. I don’t know anyone who did. I don’t know anyone who has been contacted by track and trace, or pinged by the app.
So I am puzzled as to where all these self isolating people are coming from! I don’t know, or know of, a single person who has had to self isolate, not since this whole thing began. Do you think that some people are using it to skive, or that the government might be fibbing?
I’m guessing you don’t work in the public sector.
Does anyone??
I can confirm that many are taking advantage of this latest false flag in the public sector.
Plenty are employed in the public sector, but few work therein.
Someone asked me how many people work in the public sector. I said about 25%
As a now retired Engineer who supported our fighting forces in war zones along with lots of loyal comrades, I take offence at those remarks, most of us are not paper pushing inky fingers working in Londistan
In London suburbia they seem to have downloaded the app with enthusiasm. Disabling it now though. It will become a mandatory part of the vaccine passport. People will say, well, my phone tracks me everywhere anyway, how is it a problem if the Government knows where ai am every minute of the day?
It’s the machine that goes “Ping”.
Completely insane, unless there is another agenda at play here…
First thing to do, get rid of your smartphone. Don’t make it easy for them.
Well, I would love to – but the only mobile phone that I have ever owned is a twenty year old Nokia PAYG (only used for long car journeys at that!): admittedly it is much smarter than Bozo plus the entire cabinet, but a ping is way beyond it.
And so it goes on Will the British public ever waken up? Is there any level of stupidity they won’t accept? (I realise the answer to both these questions is “No”.).

Monty Python were clearly visionaries with their sketch about the “machine that goes ping” being “the most expensive machine in the hospital”
It’s OK, they lease it back from the company they sold it to – that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account
this is causing great damage to the economy, when the economy must be maDE STRONG, to pay for the effects of the epidemic.
No need to pay it back, our lords and masters have got that sorted.
https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/news/2021/april/bank-of-england-statement-on-central-bank-digital-currency
‘to pay for the effects of the epidemic.’
This is incorrect. It should read:
‘to pay for the effects of the response to the epidemic.’
The epidemic itself did nothing; it is our response to it, or rather our Government’s response that has caused ALL the trouble,
Always assuming that there really was an epidemic, which I very much doubt.
In the true sense of the word it was a pandemic that has now become endemic throughout the world.
The lethality of this virus has been grossly overestimated, unfortunately it is future generations that will have to pay for the irresponsible response of governments throughout the world.
And that must be deliberate. The economies of the West are being wrecked, and those of Third World countries depending on tourism are collateral damage. it just that the profit greed of pharma is in itself a virus which doesn’t care if it kills its host?
Or is it a pointer to China’s involvement?
Who is profiting? Drugs, testing, the rich, China.
Is it possible that the app has been somehow updated to increase the ping rate in the immediate aftermath of so called ‘freedom’ day?
The thought has certainly crossed my mind…
There genuinely is some Covid around – has been recently. The problem with the ping is the insane suggestion that walking past someone who is asymptomatic is a threat. Or even symptomatic, outside.
Yes. someone without any symptoms goes near someone else with no symptoms and they both have to self-isolate. This saves Granny. Oh wait, Granny was slaughtered over a year ago.
I don’t know why people can’t just delete this app. Nobody actually needs it, and there’s only a small minority of the population (5 million out of 67 million) who are users. And even of those, its probably due to some workplace requirement – if so, their bosses need to have a word with themselves.
It could also have to do with the “Scare the population shitless until they’ll fall in line” campaign. The victims of said campaign are also the owners of the NHS app. Another unfortunate fallout of SPI-B’s little psychological project!
No, no, no. This isn’t the story of the day. The story is: what’s the evidence that Pfizer protects Down Syndrome children more than the risk from the Pfizer jab?
Any trials done on Down Syndrome children?
What’s the evidence on children with learning disabilities being more at risk from Covid than Pfizer? What’s the chance of mission creep here? My son with Aspergers, would you have wanted to jab him?
The sound of a eugenics agenda drums in the background like the hooves of the Apocalypse horsemen.
Prove to me that isn’t so.
Prove to me that DNR notices on the disabled didn’t show the mindset,
Prove to me that you are not utterly evil.
Wherever our current state of affairs stems from, whether it’s mission-creep, an evil cabal, a eugenics plan, or just bad ethics on the part of the government and SAGE, what really matters is that it clearly requires large-scale public compliance.
So we’ve sleepwalked into this by being blindly compliant. Boris says jump, we say how high. Now Boris says “use personal responsibility”… which is what we should have been doing from the get-go. Instead, a non-thinking populace has had propaganda as a behavioural guidebook, and we are where we are now because of docile mass-subservience.
Most crucially, we NEED to learn from this and be on the lookout for this in the future, critically assessing media material, and in that I include radio, TV and poster ads, sidebar ads and things in your peripheral vision that influence you subliminally (you don’t even need to be looking at it). All this is deliberate, and if there’s one thing we need to “Stay Alert” to, it is this.
Maybe I’m just a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, but I have always assumed the whole point of NHS Track And Trace was to cause this kind of social and economic disruption when its operators became displeased. It seems to be working rather well.
I still don’t understand – why would anyone willingly have a government app on their phone?
Insanity.
In other words, those stupid enough to download an NHS App have handed over their data to be used in any propaganda warfare decided by Government. Johnson promised we would be fully open as a cou try on 19 July. He knew he was lying but didn’t want yet another nail in his coffin, so true to Tory behaviour the App gets switched on to ping everyone to keep us in isolation.
The real sadness in all this is the number of highly gullible and very stupid people who downloaded an App from an NHS that has let the majority of us down badly over the years. Who would believe a Government they know is deeply corrupt and broken every promise from the day we were lied to when joining EEC. It beggars belief that so many still fall for the propaganda. Turn the bloody app off. Go back to work. Get this country back on its feet or you really will not have any job or home or food in your belly.
This is lockdown. It won’t stop until the sheeple wake up.
Regrettably very true.
I keep banging on to anyone who will listen about the death rate from the jabs but the only response I ever get is ‘well no-one tells us this.
this comment invariable comes from people who are far more computer literate than I am but who just can’t be bothered to read up and do a bit of research.
I agree. We met up with some old friends of ours yesterday both have been jabbed because they wanted to be able to travel. When we announced we haven’t been jabbed she said ‘ I hope we don’t catch anything from you’ . My husband quickly replied it’s you who are a danger to us!!! She refuses to admit the Covid regs have stopped them from living their lives until I pointed out the quarantine regs and extra bills for tests aren’t normal, but she just shrugged her shoulders, obviously they find that acceptable. I decided to change the subject after her eyes glazed over when trying to explain how the government were scamming the public. She hadn’t realised Biden was suffering from dementia either, probably because she hasn’t watched any of his speeches. Once we ignored topics like politics, we spent a very enjoyable evening.
This is purposely destroying the economy. Workers may be off selfishly enjoying the sunshine with their families but be the first to winge when supplies are rotting in the supermarket warehouses. Its a another grooming for Project Fear and these idiots have played right into the government’s hands again.
MSM as ever, utterly irresponsible and completely to blame for any Panic Buying.
Panic Buying is inevitable from the minute they launch their Sensationalist Headlines about the shortage of drivers, care home workers, nurses, shelf stackers, and any number of other “key Workers” delivering supplies to the supermarkets, petrol stations rubbish collections etc.
In an old fashioned war they (MSM) would be called out as as bloody traitors. That is what they are, all of the shiny toothed, orange, brekky telly people. Pretty much all the national and International news,Social Media and propaganda platforms, TRAITORS to humanity all around the world.
Mind you this was predicted wasn’t it? another ‘nudge’ for the next phase, to include Internet ‘issues’ and so on.
Have you been quietly stocking your cupboards? I have.
Would some enlightened person give me the definition of key worker as I thought that every employee is key or the employer would not pay out money to them
Why do morons download this app in the first place, its soy ware
I mean if this is to be believed. I would have said this from this point last year.
It also just shoots themselves in the face as to just how ridiculous all of these measures are.
There is now officially no reason using this one piece of data to keep anyone locked down.
But alas absolute power corrupts absolutely.
