Earlier this month, the Government announced it would treat vaccinated and unvaccinated Brits differently when it came to self-isolation rules from August 16th, allowing those who have had two doses of a Covid vaccine to go about their lives as normal after being ‘pinged’. The Policing Minister has, however, confused things by suggesting that this change could be delayed and we will have to “wait and see” what the scientists say.
In the meantime, some ‘key workers’ have been made exempt from self-isolation rules but must still quarantine if ‘pinged’ when they are not on shift. The Sun has more.
Kit Malthouse said Number 10 will have to remain “agile” even after new infections dropped for the sixth day in a row.
He said a final decision on whether to end quarantine for the double-jabbed will be taken on the advice of scientists.
Number 10 has repeatedly insisted that the restrictions will be scrapped on August 16th come what may. …
Mr Malthouse said the school holidays are acting as a “natural firebreak” against the further spread of the virus.
And he also cited the fact that people are staycationing this year rather than travelling abroad for helping keep cases down.
He said: “It’s quite an interesting cocktail of effects going on. Six days of drop is great but we have to be very careful.
“We have to wait until mid-August, see what’s happening on the numbers, hope they continue downwards, and then take the next step.
“Let’s all hope the numbers go well. People will be assessing in the week before what the numbers look like and then taking a decision nearer the time.”
Mr Malthouse said ministers will have to “wait and see” what impact the ‘Freedom Day’ lifting of restrictions has on cases. …
“There are wiser heads than mine looking at all the data, both in this country and across the world, to assess how we need to move in the future.
“And if we have to be agile, then we’ll have to do that in two or three weeks’ time.
“But for the moment looking good so far, fingers crossed for August.” …
Under the PM’s plans, from August 16th all double-jabbed Brits will be able to replace mandatory self-isolation with testing. …
But the communication around it has been a shambles, with ministers and Number 10 contradicting each other on whether the date could be pushed back.

Does it actually affect anyone here? Honestly, I’d love to know which lockdown skeptic has this app installed? Who has given their contact details out?
The government are acting as if sufficiant numbers of people actualy have this app and are giving their numbers out to make any difference whatsoever.
Yes precisely. The only people isolating are the ones who want to.
That means more freedom for us than for vaxtards, because anybody sane enough to refuse the snake oil will be sane enough not to have downloaded the Cretinapp.
And being called a “vaxtard” is why a lot of lockdown sceptics are turning away from the comments section. I respect your decision not to have the vaccine and personally refuse to patronise any business that discriminates. Would be nice if anti vaxxers showed similar solidarity to those of us who took a different decision based on much anguished consideration.
I’m sceptical of lockdowns and NPIs which was why Toby started this sight. I remember in the beginning when we (almost) all thought vaccines were the way out..!
LMFAO
What is this “fully” vaccinated lark doing here?
You don’t get rid of the
DaneCovidians by paying theDanegeldJab.Look for “boosters” (mainly of pharma profits) forever once you go kowtow for your social credit.

Of course they could, this is Kim Jong Johnson’s Branch Covidian Communist Doomsday Cultist party at work.
In fact, there is more chance of Tom Stoltman borrowing one of Kylie Minogue’s dresses and finding her entire wardrobe fits him than Kim Jong Johnson not extending the torture for the sake of it.
I think you mean that the arbitrary and discriminatory house arrest and eventual ghettoisation of those that won’t accept foreign genes in their bodies has been put off for a bit.
Honestly, it seems like even those who are supposed to be on our side just can’t wait for the Final Solution to the Unvaccinated Question to be carried out.
Who cares? All just theatre. Stop reporting on whatever nonsense the govt is spouting and start pushing ways we can organise and fight back long term.
I don’t think Toby is interested in any kind of “fight”. He’ll be vax’d by the start of the football season and that’ll be where his interest comes to an end.
It’s hilarious that the vax’d can still catch it and spread it as much as the unvax’d but their masters should deem them worthy super spreaders isn’t it? Just feels like a gamed scenario playing out now.
I can hear the cries of the vax’d true believers, appealing to their God’s better nature to set them free. Maybe they could delete the App? Will the Church cast them out as heretics?
#CLOWNWORLD
If they read the paperwork issued to them before they volunteered for it, they should know that. Entirely possible that they didn’t read it, of course.
I am saying it since a while now: testing is far too profitable a business to restrict it to the ever fewer unvaxxed only.
Germany is contemplating to re-introduce testing for vaxxed people returning from abroad.
It also slowly dawns on people that the vaxxed can be and are just as infectious as the unvaxxed, and potentially even more dangerous to become super spreaders because of their more prevalent asymptomatic infectiousness- the nightclub tweets ATL yesterday demonstrated this very clearly.
Obviously, all required invasive testing is illegal because it is potentially dangerous and abolishes ones right to bodily autonomy, no test and no test results are medically useful at the moment anyway because of their lack of standardization and mandating tests (or different quarantine requirements) for the unvaxxed only instead of for all is just discrinination.
The only testing that could be acceptable is sofar non-existing standardized, non-invasive one, and then required from everyone.
“Testing is far too profitable a business to restrict it to the ever fewer unvaxxed only.” Indeed. It also generates nice numbers that can be used as an excuse for more controlling measures.
“The only testing that could be acceptable” None, for me, because it implies covid is exceptional, which it isn’t. We don’t even know if it’s a better idea for overall public health for people who have the virus to self-isolate or not. It might unbalance all sorts of things in the immune systems of the general population and cause more problems that it solves.
I don’t disagree, I was just trying to be a bit more realistic.
No app, no test, no ping!
its unlikely that any unjabbed have this ridiculous app on their phones, I never have
Exactly, they report like everyone is using the app! At work only a few people use it and the majority don’t. My colleague who i work with has been pinged and is isolating, I’m still at work because like bobby said -no app, no ping!
It’s not just the app. It can be through getting called via Track and Trace, grassed up by your workplace.
i work with multiple managers and contractors across multiple sites, how will t&t know who i was close to and when?
You still have to answer the phone though don’t you? I’ve blocked the numbers but if they happen to get through and give me their track & trace spiel I will just tell them sorry they’ve got the wrong number and that I’m someone else.
Nice name!
It beggars belief that they still think the Vaxx achieved anything worthwhile.
Al the evidence from Israel & elsewhere is that natural infection provides the greatest resistance to all scariants of Covid.
IF you think covid is worth worrying about, they should be demanding a D Dimer test as proof of natural infection & recovery giving lifelong immunity.
There is alps the strong probability that the govt nutters are unaware of how much s*** will hit the fan if the pessimist are correct about death rates in the vaxxed when winter season rolls in.
“It beggars belief that they still think the Vaxx achieved anything worthwhile.” I’m sure they know very well it doesn’t work.
Alps… those were the days!
Must quarantine unless they’re guaranteed to come in contact with a large number of other people?
There are foreign ‘experts’ who haven’t been elected to govern this country who will decide what the so-called goverment needs to do in future?
But Boris Johnsons wants to “get brexit done” because of souvereignity and democracy?
I think I just saw a flying pig heading westwards high in the sky when having a cigarette in my garden.
Sorry, this must be illegal?
To create a two-tier, medical apartheid society?
Hopefully the lawyers are all over this wickedness.
I have lawyer friends who seem to be quite happy with the idea. If you are existing within the mainstream narrative, that is all you see. Heigh-ho!
I’ve never read such garbage in my life…they must be laughing behind closed doors at the idiots following this narrative.
Have they considered that the only people still using the Spy-n-Snitch app are those in the public, third and salaried sectors who want another 10 day paid holiday?
They may find that telling this group that they won’t “have” to isolate after they’ve been double-experimented-on sounds more like a threat than a promise.
