The Vaccines Minister insisted vaccine passports will not be imposed on “essential services” in a clash with MPs today but refused to rule out their introduction at pubs and restaurants. The Sun has the story.
Nadhim Zahawi defended the introduction of vaccine passports which he said would “reduce transmission and serious illness”.
Boris Johnson is already facing a major rebellion over the plans, with more than 50 Tories expected to mutiny.
Covid papers will be needed to enter nightclubs and other large indoor venues from later this month.
Mr. Zahawi didn’t rule out their use becoming more widespread.
He sparred with raging MPs during a heated debate at the Commons Constitutional Affairs Committee.
The vaccines minister was pressed by Labour’s Deputy Leader Angela Rayner on where people will have to show Covid papers.
He replied: “I can assure her that there are some essential services which will not need for people to show Covid vaccine certification.
“These settings that have stayed open throughout the pandemic, such as public sector buildings, essential retail, essential services and public transport.”
Mr. Zahawi insisted it “pains” him to introduce vaccine passports and it’s a decision “we do not take lightly”.
He said it is “something that goes against the DNA of this minister and his PM but we are living through difficult times, unprecedented times”. …
But fuming Tory MPs lined up to angrily denounce the Government’s plans.
William Wragg accused the minister of talking “a load of rubbish” and said he was trying to “defend the indefensible”. …
Mark Harper, Chairman of the Covid Research Group, said vaccine passports are “a pointless policy with damaging effects”.
He added: “I’m afraid the Minister is picking an unnecessary fight with his own colleagues. I say to him the Government should think again.”

We shouldn’t rule out chasing these creeps, their lackeys and accomplices until they are put on trial for what they’re doing. No Mercy.
As an aside… loving (as ever) Bob Moran’s work.. the man is a creative genius. Talent and creativity with true humanity and a conscience.
Many thanks to Bob for allowing me to use his ‘Stand Firm’ artwork on my site. Such a shame this needed doing.. but thank God for people like him.

Of course he won’t rule them out. They were always on the Agenda. Bliar wants them and what Bliar wants, Bliar gets! Just who do you think runs this country?
We all know that it’s not the virus, not the “vaccines” not the lockdowns and not the masks that are the endgame of this so-called “pandemic”.
The endgame is a global digital ID, linked to digital money and a health status. In the blink of an eye, anyone perceived to be a threat to the global “New World Order” can be cancelled. Unable to access cash, excluded from transport, shopping, accommodation, healthcare and all the other necessities of life. Your only choices will be to commit suicide or commit some sort of crime so that you will be put in prison, where at least you’ll be fed, clothed and sheltered, but you’ll probably be used as slave labour.
THAT’S where vaccine passports will take us. Still keen, Zahawi?
Of course he is! The very idea probably makes him salivate. Visions of an overflowing bank account, power unimaginable, people kowtowing, fawning and hanging on his every word. What’s not to like?
Cue: another Tory ‘rebellion’ that won’t happen.
He can’t say the real reason for vaccine passports. They are a cover for digital ID and the Surveillance State. He can’t say it’s nothing to do with health or stopping virus spread.
The MSM know but won’t admit this. Government, the State and the MSM are enemies of the People.
“but we are living through difficult times, unprecedented times”. …
Only unprecedented because you idiots have made it so and continue to with your childish obsession.
It’s not a ”childish obsession”. You do them far too much credit by suggesting it’s only ”incompetence” or ”poor planning”. These people are self-serving, arrogant and devoid of any public spirit. Why should they care about the country’s plight? They’re not going to allow us to vote them out anyway.
Zahawi looks well…did he enjoy his long summer recess? I guess it okay to make rules for us the ‘great unwashed’. Private bars in Westminster, private bars where he goes on holiday. When does he show his ‘papers’? Hmmm…that would be never. He is a disgrace to this country.
Unless the clubbers, football fans, etc boycott their intended venue this passport will be seen as successful and extended to more events, no matter what ‘statistics’ show. I wonder who’ll get blamed if there are still alleged outbreaks despite the passports?
That is exactly what the Muscovites did. They boycotted the restaurants, cafes etc that enforced this evil nonsense and went elsewhere. Three weeks later and after heavy representations from those businesses that saw trade fall through the floor, the whole scheme was dropped.
Amid some face-saving twadddle that ‘conditions had changed’.
Time MPs really stood up to these dictators. We will end up like Australia if they don’t. Mine is a spineless jellyfish, will never vote for him again.
Most of them are spineless and only interested in doing what their Whip says so that they can get reselected – constituents do not matter to these selfish freeloaders.
But they WANT us to end up like Australia, surely. This isn’t all accidental, and a result of incompetence. Do you really believe you’ll be allowed to vote for anyone again?
IMHO the key to resistance to all of this is to starve it of energy: in effect not parting with any cash to any organisation that requires compliance with any of the Rules That Must Be Obeyed and a quiet resistance to the Rules themselves.
I attended a protest rally against Vax Passports in Central London a while ago but it didn’t feel quite the right way to go about resistance to me.
Recently, someone told me about the Silent Minute, aka the Healing Minute, that was instigated in the UK at the time of the Blitz. It was widely known and supported in this country. The Nazis got to know about it and Hitler knew that it could never be defeated because the energy generated by it – a sort of a Wall of Prayer for want of a better expression – is VERY powerful. I find this quite remarkable and people still talk of the Blitz spirit and a truly peaceful way to protest.
This authoritarianism WILL BE DEFEATED but probably not in the way that any of us can currently envisage. Keep the faith folks
Vive la Resistance
interesting – the Firemen (and Police even) in Quebec?? were having dignified silent protests against compulsory jib-jab and that seemed to be reported without the usual shock horror outrage directed at other protestors
You know what, I do apologize for my language but I can’t help it: Nahidm Zahawi, you’re a fucking lying cunt. ’nuff said.
Just one more thing – he’s ugly too. (Have you noticed how nearly all of these psychopaths are ugly?)
Lying turd refuses to rule out logical conclusion of his totalitarianism.
Nadim nor the UK govt have any power over this. They’re being told what to do and are pathetic individuals. Make no mistake, the entire population MUST be on a regular vaccination program for tihs Change of Control to succeed. You are the product in the new circular economy. What we’ll see is a strong shift now, as predicted earlier this year towards discrimination of the unvaccinated using lies and false data to pressure people. They will face masses of restlenessness and we’re most likely to begin seeing a hyper-partisan split between businesses. The lady who shut her restaurant to Biden supporters is just the start. I’m fine by this – as I’ve said before the world is overpopulated and what a great way to ensure you’re rubbing shoulders and comingling with likeminded indviduals.
really pretty meaningless whether he rules it out or not since he ruled passports out completely 6 months ago. Trust gone.
“Boris Johnson is already facing a major rebellion over the plans, with more than 50 Tories expected to mutiny.” Pah. Same every time. Still the lobby fodder sheep vote everything through that they’re told to.
Labour are on board the globalist train so Tory “rebellions” are irrelevant.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is Following The Exact COVID Protocol Recommended By U.K. Senior Vaccinologist Sir Andrew Pollard.
Evidence around the world is showing that vaccination will not stop the spread of COVID-19, and it will, as a result of a vaccinated approach, continually mutate into ever-changing variants.

Vaccines ARE the problem!

France is proudly declaring that many nations are following their example.
‘We didn’t realise we could get away with this’. They have, they do, they will.
There’s basically no point in reporting anything the government says any more because it is all lies. Every single word of it.
Like this on the BBC website:
The number of unvaccinated people ending up in hospital with Covid is “concerning”, Boris Johnson has said.
Actually that might be true. The number might be very small, and that would be a big concern for the government if that news got out.
Only the next paragraph goes on to say:
“Three quarters of those hospitalised had not had a Covid jab, with a “higher proportion” of younger people now being affected, he said.”
Which is a big fat lie.
One has to ask why ICNARC still aren’t including vaccine status in their weekly reports on people in intensive care with (ie testing positive for) covid. If it was true that the unvaccinated are clogging up the hospitals and dying of covid, you’d think all the regular stats being reported by the nhs/public health/other government agencies would include this most relevant of factors in their “patient characteristics”. It’s absence I think is quite telling – I suspect it fails to support the “unvaccinated are dangerous, irresponsible, very ill and dying in our hospitals” narrative. What is interesting is that there’s been an increase in pregnant and recently pregnant women in intensive care in recent weeks. Does that coincide with the push to get pregnant women injected with the experimental shit?
Is there a legal case brewing anywhere on this. It needs funding.
We shouldn’t rule out putting him on trial. He will be tried for ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ – The law is still on our side. The truth will win. The liars will be held to account. Fight back on an individual level. Others will follow. Useful information, resources and links: https://www.LCAHub.org/
He said it is “something that goes against the DNA of this minister and his PM but we are living through difficult times, unprecedented times”. …
Yes, totally unprecedented
So we got rid of Hancock and we got this repulsive black shirt instead. It’s like trying to slay the multi-year hydra.
He replied: “I can assure her that there are some essential services which will not need for people to show Covid vaccine certification.
“These settings that have stayed open throughout the pandemic, such as public sector buildings, essential retail, essential services and public transport.”
What counts as a public sector building? Can the Minister confirm that local public sector organisations won’t be able to mandate it anyway?
And what about non-essential retail?
Clearly if you’re not jabbed, eventually they see you bound to work for the public sector, travelling to your job on public transport, and able to buy food but that’ll be it. Nice…
You can order everything online as has been the case already.
In the end, none of that. Khan will be gagging to put a jab requirement on the London tube and buses. We will be walking. asking others to order food, jobless and refused NHS treatment. Basically, the Resistance. See you in the hills.
When they overrun the defences
A minor invasion put down to expenses
Will you go down to the airport lounge
Will you accept your second class status
A nation of waitresses and waiters
Will you mix their martinis
Will you stand still for it
Or will you take to the hills

P.S. regarding the cartoon on this page’s headline, there is one piece of good news, Bob Moran is back from his paternity break and should be putting sceptical cartoons in the Telegraph again from this week onward.
Best news I have heard in ages
So, first he deneis passes at all, then he denies for anythijng bu abroad, then deneis for anything but huge events, then for anything but nighclubs and large events, then for essential services… This only stops when we fight back, if government deny planning something evil then they already have it in the works.

Hateful Joe Rogan Is Spreading Misinformation and Must Be Stopped!
“I can assure her that there are some essential services which will not need for people to show Covid vaccine certification.”
So, the great unvaxxed can look forward to being denied those “essential” services that will need people to show a vaccine certificate! These bastards aren’t even trying to hide what they’re planning for us, how to make our lives as miserable and restricted as possible unless we comply like good little plebs.
I’ll go further – they are determined that we shall spend the rest of our lives in thorough misery, no entertainment, no socialising, no fun. Whilst they, the multi millionnaire Tory MPs Johnson, Hancock, Zawahli, Patel, Whitty, Valance and the rest who have made millions out of this scam and the vaccines have a luxury lifestyle where they can travel without restrictions, enjoy themselves and not have to mix with the great, hardworking, unwashed.
The servant class needs to be pushed out of sight and back into their dirty holes basically, as it used to be during the good ole times.
And you’d love that.
Our Parliament is a shameful demonstration of how greed corrupts
I have to pinch myself sometimes to the fact these ministers and MPs are even having this debate.
Not scientific or for health at all. Yet so many will blindly agree and follow these non sensical policies.
Incredible times to be living in now and as we know the plan is far from done.
The powers that be smell victory.
they don’t live in the real world, in the real world very few are following their ‘rules’.
But unfortunately a lot go along with it and claim to agree that the rules are sensible (while ignoring said rules themselves).
