Boris Due to Announce End of Lockdowns

According to the Telegraph, Boris is about to announce a new policy: no more national lockdowns. Yet another tease of Tuesday’s speech, but who’s complaining? They’ve all been good so far, save for the determination to press on with vaccinating healthy 12-15 year-olds. Although, as with the other “announcements”, Boris is hedging, leaving the door open to doing a reverse ferret.

Boris Johnson will make clear this week he is “dead set” against another national lockdown as he rips up the old system of Covid rules and adopts a new approach for winter.

The Prime Minister is expected to argue to Parliament and in a press conference that the UK must learn to live with Covid-19 now that all adults have been offered a vaccine.

Covid laws that are no longer required will be ditched and plans for vaccine passports for nightclubs and other large crowd venues have been shelved.

The travel traffic lights system will be scrapped, PCR tests will not be required for fully vaccinated travellers and, The Telegraph understands, the red list will be significantly reduced.

In a sign of the importance placed on the jabs program, vaccinations for children aged 12 to 15 and autumn boosters for scores of adults will also be rolled out, pending approval from scientific advisers.

But some restrictions, such as new face mask mandates and guidance urging people to once again work from home, will remain as options should the virus surge in the months ahead.

Discussing Mr Johnson’s new approach, sources in his inner circle said it would reflect both the success of the vaccine rollout and the continued threat from Covid.

A senior Government source told The Telegraph of the argument Mr Johnson would make: “This is the new normal. We need to learn to live with Covid.

“The vaccines are a wall of defence. The autumn and the winter do offer some uncertainty, but the Prime Minister is dead set against another lockdown.”

Worth reading in full.

The Telegraph describes this as a “major pivot” in the Government’s approach to COVID-19. (Polite term for U-turn?) Time will tell.

Don’t believe a word:
It’s becoming increasingly clear that nothing about this pandemic has been right.
The current vaccines are virtually useless against the Delta variant. Natural immunity is far superior and safer.
The 1,600 deaths and over a million serious side effects from the vaccines has not been reported by any MSM.
We have a Government intent on mandating an experimental medical injection on the public with the threat of lost jobs and exclusion from normal life, despite the knowledge that Natural immunity is far safer than the vaccine which is now spreading the virus more than people who are unvaccinated.
Early treatment drugs being used massively in Japan, México and India with enormous success  have been deliberately suppressed by almost all Medical Authorities and the Media 
Lockdowns and quarantine achieved nothing except impoverishment and destruction of small businesses and a NHS collapse with a 5M waiting list and rising.
The PCR test is fundamentally flawed and no proof whatsoever that someone is ill. 
There has been no clarity on exactly how and where £500Billion of taxpayers money has been spent on this fiasco, with the farcical track and trace a prime example.
Official data has been deliberately reported incorrectly… Read more »

The two Acts of Parliament being used by the Government will remain.

The 2020 Corona Virus Act
The 1984 Public Health Act

This allows the Government to Pick and Mix statutory instruments whenever they like.

Regional lockdowns are preferable for the Great Reset agenda.
Lockdown hotspots with fewer people to get them conditioned to Australia-style restrictions without backlash from the whole country – if people can’t see it they won’t give a shit because that’s the ‘keep your head down’ mentality of most.
Businesses making a regional comeback? No problem! just turn up the 5G/EMF in specific areas to create said hotspots and justify closures again. Those filled with graphene oxide from the jabs acting like receivers and falling ill with flu like symptoms to be blamed on our favourite disease.

The end game, as most of us here would probably agree is digital control and to that and big pharma’s delight fear porn is here to stay.
The only thing that will stop it is if enough sheep wake up to basic immunological and virological facts, ie that natural immunity is superior to immunity induced by a “vaccine” – especially the computer generated mrna type. And, as a bonus there is no fear of vaccine induced future auto immune disease.. (Tetanus may be an exception here as naturally acquired immunity is rather difficult for one to achieve when dead).
With the powers that be having control of the MSM there’s little chance of that – unless the jabbed start dropping like flies, and even then the bastards will hide it and/or blame the refuseniks.
So, vaccine passports ain’t going away. I think they’re just buying time to sort out the tec. bits

Exactly. No matter what small concessions Johnson has announced, it remains a fact that vaccine passports are the endgame. A Global Digital ID linked to digital money and a health status. Instant, total control of the population. Anyone who puts a toe over the line can be cancelled at the click of a mouse.

Johnson has, in no way backed off from vaccine passports. You might not be required to produce one to get into an event for now, but that’s easily reversed. You can’t easily travel without one and if you do, you still have to have the highly invasive naso-pharyngeal swab and a PCR test multiple times.

The plan is in place. The ID2020 cabal is in place. By 2030, it will be a done deal. Unless we continue to resist now and ratchet up our dissent.

Doesn’t Johnson even know that the so called vaccines aren’t ‘a wall of defence’. The vaxxed can still infect and get ill. And that’s without considering the likliehood that mass injection of a mRNA spike protein producing programme is creating worse viral strains. The whole sorry saga of lies and fear mongering chugs on.

Just a lull before the storm.

When politicians and or authority make some benevolent statement, I always think of Robert Aske and the Pilgrimage of Grace. There was big opposition against the desolution of the monasteries lead by Robert Aske, Henry VIII, gave Aske assurances that there was nothing to fear and gave Aske his coat as a sign of his good faith (a massive honour). Aske took the coat to show his supporters that they could disband as he had the kings word. As soon as the opposition disbanded Henry Viii struck and executed many of Aske’s supporters. Aske was hung in chains in York.

Never believe of trust politicians it may just be a ploy to get the opposition to disband or lower it’s guard.

“The vaccines are a wall of defence” – these pre-announcements are, if true , delivered and enacted are proof “they” know they have screwed up; but like all power mad tyrannical dictatorships, they cannot relinquish their lethal control and have to cling on to something that resembles a vestige of “Power” – “mask mandates” it is and the proof of this is they know that masks do not work, are cosmetic, there is no science to back it up, Whitty let the cat out of the bag a year ago, so did Fauci ( all right I know he flip-flopped).

The dam has cracked, there is a trickle visible…….wait for the SAGE led fight back with more lying under the guise of modelling.

Sorry. I wish I could say that this is good news, but I don’t trust the bugger.
Someone on this site described a Boris Johnson promise as “a lie waiting to happen”. How very true.

I think likewise; what he has spouted has largely been disprovable so easily how do you believe him – and the fact that he does to get that is testament to his world class lack of gravitas, inability to shut his wife in a box and do likewise with SAGE. He seems to think that ” I don’t understand the science ( or I cannot be bothered to get into the science ..) so what do the modellers say and what do the Psychologists say about delivering the message aka fear).

When he has a real message about a pending real life disaster , who will trust him…big struggle for me, especially if he surrounds himself with WHITTYesque yes men and women….

Now, if Johnson were to say the horrendous Coronavirus Act would be repealed with immediate effect, I might, just might, have viewed it as a positive step.
However, him and the rest of the self serving idiot cohorts in the House are due to vote on its regular 6 month review shortly. He needs to keep it going and long after next March – permanently – it gives him and his ilk the power to curtail our life and social activities at the drop of a hat. What better way to soft soap the parliamentary nerds than by appearing to ‘drop’ some of the hard hitting restrictions, attempting to appear ‘reasonable’, safe in the knowledge that he can resurrect them at his leisure.
We are at a very significant and dangerous crossroads now with just a handful of MPs on the public side. The rest most definitely have their snoughts in the feeding frenzy gravy trough. Greedy self serving idle shysters.
The threat of some MPs not to attend the Conservative Party Conference aka Murder Inc., if vax passports were brought in has been temporarily averted. Normal tyrannical service will resume as soon as possible…

This is a tactical retreat.

Those who would control every aspect of our lives have made a lasting advance.

  1. Vax passports are here to stay. Perhaps not for domestic use, but certainly for international travel. They are established now and ready to have their use expanded.
  2. The principle that certain privileges can be made conditional on being vaccinated has also been firmly established, No tests after travelling only for the “double vaxxed ” Now that the principle has been firmly established expect more privileges for vaxxed people in the future
  3. Masks have now become part of our lives, despite their complete uselessness. I don’t imagine we will ever be able to board a plane again without one. And we will see them around in one way or another from now in.

The would~be masters of the world have made great lasting advances in the last 18 months.

“PCR tests will not be required for fully vaccinated travellers”

So I won’t be going abroad yet, and my wife won’t travel to see her family.

The main reason I don’t believe this soulless sock puppet corporate lackey of a prime minister (and there are many) is that the so-called pandemic hasn’t yet achieved what its perpetrators wanted, i.e the complete destruction of our old way of life and the introduction of a monetary system we would not otherwise accept. So I expect that this is just another form of psychological torment designed to make the next wave of terror even more demoralising. He knows what’s coming; I think this is just the calm before the storm.

Denmark already has a medical and public services digital ID system. Try getting a bank account without it. You can’t even buy a car without it. Come the economic meltdown, adding digital currency etc to it isn’t a far stretch.

Remember “you’ll own nothing and be happy”? Written by a Danish politician. They’re signed up and knocking one out with the best of ’em.

But the “unvaccinated” – who are disproportionately from ethnic minorities – are still discriminated against if they want to travel abroad, which they are more likely to need to do as ethnic minorities are obviously more likely to have relatives abroad..

Whilst we cannot control other countries, if Peking Piffle was really a libertarian, he would be pushing against this all the way. And the likes of David Lammy, who rightly raged about the Windrush scandal, should be making a stand on this new discrimination too.

Given what we know, I wonder if it is a sales ploy so that he can claim “vaccines” have been effective, as people would wonder why they were bothering if e didn’t get a certain lifting in restrictions, or got new ones. (And as I say, even if only 10% do not get “fully vaccinated, a heck of a lot of people would have family and friends affected).

Sorry but race has got nothing to do with it. If you don’t want the vaccine, you don’t want it. It’s irrelevant whether you’re black, white, or green.

Agreed KF.
My wife and I are both white: she’s had one shot of the AstraZeneca, after which she had an adverse reaction and doesn’t want the 2nd one and I’ve had none of any of them. We both want to travel to mainland Europe – and would do so on average twice a year in pre-pandemic times. Even though I self identify as being fully vaxxed – something that might allow me entry into a cinema or restaurant – I fear it won’t be enough to get me through passport control at the airport!
