“Your Obedience Is Prolonging This Nightmare”: Protesters March in London against Delay to “Freedom Day”

by Michael Curzon
21 June 2021 3:37 PM

Protesters have gathered in London today to demonstrate against the Government’s delay to the lifting of lockdown restrictions. People held signs reading “Lockdown is a crime against humanity” and “Your obedience is prolonging this nightmare”. Eight arrests have been made at the protest, according to the Metropolitan Police.

The MailOnline has more.

Maskless anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown protesters have clashed with police in central London as they demonstrate against the delay of “Freedom Day” by blocking roads and hugging strangers in defiance of Covid rules…

Protestors offering “free hugs” and demanding an end to all Covid restrictions held signs reading “your obedience is prolonging this nightmare” and “our kids aren’t lab rats” as they marched through the streets…

Loud horns blown by the protestors were seen to spook a group of half-a-dozen police horses who had been drafted in to help control the crowd in Parliament Square.

The protest comes as Boris Johnson seemed to dismiss the prospect of easing the remaining coronavirus rules early, as he refused to rule out future lockdowns. He warned the nation should brace for a ‘rough winter’ whilst visiting a laboratory in Hertfordshire today.

The Prime Minister has delayed ‘Freedom Day’ by four weeks to July 19th – but a two-week review will take place on July 5th to see if the return to normal can be moved forward. Mr Johnson said ‘Delta’ variant cases, hospitalisations and admissions to intensive care are still rising and the country must therefore be ‘cautious’.

Worth reading in full.

What’s really going on?

As anticipated, Russia, made overconfident by a ‘major’ assault comprising a reinforced company with two tanks and 21 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) in the direction of the Novyi Microraion in eastern Chasiv Yar on May 17, now intends to invade Poland.

Medvedev stated in a post on his Russian-language Telegram channel on May 17 that Russia’s “sanitary [buffer] zone” must at least extend over all central Ukraine and a significant part of western Ukraine.

Medvedev claimed that if Ukraine continues to strike Russian cities, then Russian forces will have to extend the sanitary zone further to Ukraine’s western border with Poland or within Poland itself.

‘If it goes on like this, the guaranteed sanitary zone will be somewhere at the border with Poland. Or even inside Poland,” the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council suggested.’

“Once the Kiev regime uses Storm Shadow / SCALP-EG missiles with a range of at least 550 kilometers when the distance between Belgorod and Kiev is 429 kilometers, practically the entire central and most of the western parts of Ukraine fall within this sanitary zone,” Medvedev said. “In other words, there must be Russia everywhere (550 kilometers plus 70-100 more to be sure). Otherwise, the security of our cities and villages cannot be ensured.”

“If it goes on like this, the guaranteed sanitary zone will be somewhere at the border with Poland. Or even inside Poland,” the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council suggested.

It will certainly be NATO’s fault if it doesn’t!

I am no fan of the simpering Tusk but wishing for him to be ‘wasted’ is a particularly infelicitous aspiration right now……

What’s really going on?

Putin is engaging in a brutal and barbaric colonisation of Eastern Ukraine.

‘…there were few “outright separatists” in Donbas before 2014. “It’s worth remembering that in 1991, a vast majority of the Donbas population voted for the independence of Ukraine, and by 2014, in spite of all kinds of complaints about the Kyiv government, they thought of Donbas as part and parcel of independent Ukraine,”

‘…regional politicians — like Viktor Yanukovych, who served as the governor of the Donetsk region from 1997 to 2002 — had a history of using the “threat of autonomy and separatism” as leverage against the central government in Kyiv. When Yanukovych was elected president in 2010, Kuromiya said, Donbas effectively “took over” the country, “signaling in a sense that Donbas had finally been integrated into Ukraine.” 

“I am certain that before Russia’s invasion, the vast majority of the Donbas population thought of their future in independent Ukraine, not in an annexed region of Russia.’

‘…in 1991, the majority of the population of the Donbas supported Ukrainian independence — 83.9 percent of Donetsk residents, and 83.6 percent of Luhansk residents voted for it.’

Hiroaki Kuromiya, Freedom and Terror in the Donbas: A Ukrainian-Russian Borderland, 1870s-1990s, (1998)

Well the Ukrainians would say that wouldn’t they.
Other Ukrainians refuse to be evacuated from the villages north of Kharkov because they would rather wait for the Russians to come, said a Ukrainian conscript tasked with expediting the evacuation. This could explain the rapid advance of the Russians in the area, occupying over 70sq km according to Lt. Gen K. Budanov.

I think your translation might be a bit wonky or is missing a bit. The people in Donbas actually expressed a wish to be an autonomous region (ie self-governing) within an independent Ukraine. However the “independent Ukraine” was in the process of a military intervention to prevent this when Russia stepped in on the side of the majority in Donbas.
And ever since the Ukrainian military has been wasting its shells and missiles targeting the naughty civilians in Donetsk city, aka punishment beatings.

“Boris Johnson … the “most consequential leader since Thatcher”, according to the Telegraph.”

He was a “leader” since Thatcher. That’s about all the truth contained in that statement.

Three consequences that Johnson is responsible for – Brexit, covid madness, climate madness. All massively consequential, surely.

“Moderna wins Covid jab patent dispute over Pfizer and BioNTech” – Moderna finally gets a court to accept its patents were infringed by its Covid vaccine rivals and it is entitled to a share of their profits, reports the FT.

Does it also get a share of their liability; moral or financial?

My thoughts exactly, if I were them I’d be distancing myself from the clot shots not claiming ownership,.. just in case (when) the avalanche of law suits hits the fan!

“Idiotic Net Zero rules are driving Europe’s carmakers to extinction”

Possibly should more accurately read;

”Idiotic Net Zero rules are driving extinction”

There, fixed it for them.

The term “nudge” should be dropped. It is the warm fuzzy term the manipulators use.

“psychological manipulation” as given in the sub-title is more accurate. At the risk of being verbose, include “unethical”.

“There’s nothing racist about Anglo-Saxons”
Excellent article by Nick Cohen, describing how the whole research field of Anglo-Saxon history decided to change its name because ONE Third World Ethnic complained.

Kneeling hasn’t gone out of fashion yet, it seems.
