“No exemptions to ‘no jab, no job’ in care homes” – Boris Johnson.
If people die because of this, Mr Johnson is responsible.
And if he continues to support the “vaccination” of children, despite the JCVI advising against this, he is collaborating in crimes against humanity.
Crimes against humanity? Starting with lockdown, Bozo has committed more of these than any British leader ever. His continuing existence is a crime against humanity.
Of course he hopes that the zombies will blame the sacked care workers for having integrity. A word that Bozo doesn’t know the meaning of. He doesn’t know it exists.
Indeed Annie…

This Sat London 25/09 another chance to vote with your feet as to how this lockstep overreach keeps rolling. Seeing how the stromtroopers in Oz are handling the “untermensch” down unde my advice? Buckle up.
And a word to the wise, unless 75% plus of the UK nation state rise up against THIS ragging BUILD BACK BETTER tyranny… it will remains unchallenged, unopposed and fully deliver the draconian technocracy they wish for the unclean masses.
The myth of Ghandi winning through zen passivity … is just that. No my fellow truth seekers – his political success came through the very real threat of unleashing overwhelming Civil Disobedience…
This doesn’t happen if we continue to live with a minority of govt narrative skeptics.
ITEM: “Australian police attempt to keep reporters from covering Covid protests, back off after news outlet threatens legal challenge” – Melbourne police have partially backed off an order to keep news helicopters out of the sky over anti-lockdown protests after the media pushed back with a legal challenge, reports Russia Today.
Well, scenes of police officers pepper-spraying 74-year-old grandmothers won’t win too many hearts and minds of middle Australia to the Dan Andrews government’s charge into leading Australia into a ‘Covid’ totalitarian hell (now with Australia’s very first ‘No-Fly Zone’ targeted against its own enemy citizens).
But, finally, the Establishment media have arced up against a proposed ban on news helicopter coverge and live broadcasts of the protests in Melbourne. One of the main ideological arms of the Covid hysteria from Day One, Big Media nevertheless see their business interests being affected by Andrews’ attempted censorship, although the compromise agreement resulting from the legal challenge is pretty soft – police will still hold power to allow, or not, helicopter flight permission and any footage must be delayed by one hour from being aired.
It’s a pity that the media aren’t as hot under the collar about the cruel lockdowns themselves, which have now ensnared Victoria’s $22 billion construction industry, sending 300,000 workers into unemployment for god knows how long, and demanding compulsory ‘vaccination’ with an experimental gene therapy before they can get back to work.
Victoria is now officially a joke but not too many are laughing.

They decked that old lady to get through her and on to pepper spraying the media photographer standing behind her, avi has the video up. Holy hell that place has lost the plot. Just waiting for the first report of a death on either side to really set things going.
If it does escalate from here what will they do start shooting protestors, seems they don’t have many bullets left in their gun of options after the APC and rubber bullet, shoot first question later tactics currently on display.
“They decked that old lady to get through her and on to pepper spraying the media photographer standing behind her“
Perhaps, but it didn’t stop them bending over to give her a dose of pepper spay in the face while she was on the ground, if I remember the video accurately.
In fact here’s the event, from a graphic helpfully posted here earlier by Phil:
You can spot the astroturf “protests” by the MSM giving them prior publicity.
“Big Media nevertheless see their business interests being affected by Andrews’ attempted censorship”
I’m betting they wouldn’t mind much if it was actually a complete and effective blackout. What bothers them is that it helps turn people to the alternative news sources that have flourished in the coronapanic by telling the truths the msm won’t.
“Victoria is now officially a joke but not too many are laughing”
We laugh because we must not cry, that is all.
> any footage must be delayed by one hour from being aired.
WHY? To give it time to be spun and censored?
Anti medical coercion protestors need to line themselves with live cameras EVERYWHERE to stop the establishment bouncers (can’t call them police they’ve totally reneged on Peel’s principles).
Is this Belarus? Hong Kong? Some other authoritarian demonisation target?
Nope, it’s how dissent is treated in Australia these days. There but for the grace of God…

Collaborator watch. Remember these celebrities, like Piers Morgan and Jan Moir, who so enthiusastically lend their support and their names to the elite scapegoating propaganda campaign for”vaccine” coercion:
JAN MOIR: No jab, no jive for selfish Strictly Come Dancing stars… It is a great shame, but perhaps now is the time to prepare them for their last waltz
Never forget. Never forgive.
Yo gorra loff, ay yer?
Translation from Black country dialect: You have to laugh, don’t you?
My BIL’S partner is a cleaner at a local college and in the last few months has had to self isolate 3 or 4 times because one of her colleagues has been “tested positive.”
Having returned to work last Monday after the latest 10 day self isolation, on Wednesday she had to “ring in sick” because she came down with a bad cold.
One way of looking at it, I suppose, are things starting to get back to normal; where people caught colds and flu and it was just part of everyday life?
A pity that Brendan O’Neill’s organ, Spiked, is now a pro jib jab mouthpiece.
