The definition of “large venues” remains unclear in the context of the introduction of domestic vaccine passports. Reports suggest that unvaccinated Brits could be denied entry to sports events with capacities of 16,000 spectators or more, under new Government plans. The MailOnline has the story.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced last night that everyone who wants to go to a nightclub in the autumn will have to be fully vaccinated.
And he indicated that “other venues where large crowds gather” could also be made to adopt the checks.
Sportsmail understands that would include football matches and other sports events, with large crowds in attendance.
And if the measure is introduced, it is understood Government could be expected to fall back on the previous definition of “large crowds”, set out in step three of the roadmap out of lockdown, which was a capacity of 16,000 spectators.
However, any legal requirement on football fans to be vaccinated before they attend games – a negative Covid test would not be enough – would only come into force if coronavirus infections rates, deaths and hospitalisations are high or there are dangerous variants circulating.
While the current focus is very much on nightclubs, Government sees the ability to mandate event organisers, including football clubs, as an additional tool “in the locker” should Covid cases surge and cause serious problems.
Scientists have been encouraged by the results of the early phases of the Events Research Programme, which revealed few infections linked to outdoor sports events.
Results from the latest phase, which included much larger capacities at the Euro 2020 final and semi-finals are yet to be analysed and published.
It is worth highlighting here that results from 10 other trial events identified only 28 positive Covid test results among 58,000 participants. Either way, it seems as though some football officials support the move to have vaccine passports checked at the gates.
The Prime Minister’s willingness to enforce the requirement for Covid vaccinations by law, goes some way to meeting the demands of the Premier League.
It has repeatedly called for the use of Covid Passports to maintain large crowds in the autumn and winter, even if the virus surges, as well as asking for a consistent approach.
However, the top flight, the EFL and other sports have said the passports should include proof of vaccination, but also evidence of a negative test of natural immunity from previous infection, in order to give everyone, the chance to attend the game. …
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said he could not rule out Covid passports being used for matches, but said work was ongoing into where they might be needed.

By the time people realise this was a politics from the get go and nothing to do with science, they will have no gas central heating, and will wonder why their heat pump requires them to have 5 pullovers on in October. They will have no affordable vehicle, will be priced out of a holiday, not be able to enjoy a Steak Diane and will generally be impoverished. ———They will then see that nothing much has changed as regards any type of weather event or sea level rise and begin to say to them selves ——“Eh, what was all this for”? ————Maybe they should wake up NOW before they end up cold and poor having not saved any planets.
At some point in the not too distant, we are not going to be able to say anything against The Science™. It will be akin to blasphemy and heretics won’t even be able to get a well done or even a burned steak, pardon the pun, as you so rightly say, varmint. It could be the reverse of Talking Head’s ‘Once in a lifetime’ – and you may find yourself not behind the wheel of a large automobile, and you may find yourself kicked out of a beautiful house, etc. I think we all need to get active in whatever way we can now because to see this potential future coming at us very fast is not an option I wish to entertain. It’s very easy to ignore while there is still food in the shops, cash in your wallet, the sun is shining and the dog needs walking. It’s what I would call the ‘phoney war’ period. Something major is about to happen and they will use this as the pretext to introduce more draconian measures. We must resist at all costs and never ever comply. After all, they are nothing more than well-dressed, coiffured gangsters and they mean to enslave and kill us.
any dissenters will be labelled a “Psycho Killer”
Anti semetic conspiracy theorists more likely
The problem is though that we are “complying”. ——“Heretic” scientists keep their mouths shut or they will be removed from their University or other government funded data adjusting institution. So if the actual scientists cannot open their mouths what chance has the public? Here in Scotland the absurd SNP/ Green commie pincer movement want to bring in laws that force you to get rid of your gas central heating and replace it with a heat pump at considerable expense before you are allowed to sell your house. This is Climate Blackmail. Ofcourse all of this Net Zero stuff in a small country like Scotland or the UK will have NO effect on global climate whatsoever, but do these dimwits care? No, because it isn’t and never was about the climate in the first place. It is the political ideology of Sustainable Development emanating from the UN. Which basically says that the wealthier countries must stop using fossil fuels because we have used up more than our fair share of that finite resource in becoming prosperous. ———-As usual when you mix politics and science what you get is —POLITICS.
It’s only recovering because our beloved scientists and experts haven’t yet applied the appropriate balancing to the historical records.
Now say your penance five times: “We love Gaia, I must trust the science…”.
They will reach back in time and make the reef bigger, just as they reached back in time and made temperatures colder.
Good news, global warming makes coral grow better. Where are the headlines proclaiming that.
Ho well, they can always full back on the polar bears…ho no, they’re doing well also? damn!.. Haha, the ice sheets,.. wot, they’re increasing? Alrighty, global boiling, there, beat that!
We’d better hope that global boiling convinces them or they’ll never believe the world ends a week on Tuesday!
Yes but the seas are boiling masses of acid. Do keep up.
That big ole volcano eruption last year with the water vapour was just down the road from there – wonder what effect that’s going to have that plays into the climagandista storybook?
The lies and deceit just go on and on. Just like with Covid evidence is at best ignored and often well credentialed people who challenge the dogma are smeared and cancelled. The MP for the constituency I live in recently responded to the following question: –
Would you support a moratorium on all planned Net-Zero derived restrictions until a full and open debate including proper costing of Net Zero, which the public has never been given, is undertaken?
With this answer:
Net Zero Costs
The UK’s independent Committee on Climate Change (CCC) found that meeting net zero by 2050 is feasible and consistent with avoiding most damaging climate change. The CCC’s latest estimates put the net cost of achieving net zero at less than 1 per cent of GDP through to 2050 when taking into account the benefits from the falling prices of low-carbon technologies, with scope for the economic effect to be net positive as resources shift from imported fossil fuels to UK investment. This Government enshrined the 2050 net zero target into law and remains committed to it.
What utter drivel, give me strength!
But Net Zero apparently was in both Labour and Conservative manifesto’s so they would argue that the public voted for it. ——But the Net Zero amendment to the Climate Change Act of 2008 which was passed in parliament in 2019 was waved through Parliament with not a single question asked as to cost benefit. ——–The cost is in the trillions and the benefit next to nothing. ——Why would anyone in their right mind do something like this to their own citizens? Because ideology and politics is trumping every bit of common sense and decency that squirming eco socialist politicians in this country maybe had at one time before this UN led phony planet saving garbage got started, but that they have no longer. They are all UN lackeys pandering to globalist politics rather than to the people who vote for them.
It is now some years since the Maldives had been predicted to have sunk beneath the waves of a burgeoning Indian Ocean. Yet they are alive and well, principally I believe, because the land mass has taken it upon itself to rise further above the water level.
