Schools will not reintroduce the policy of ‘bubbles’ to protect pupils against coronavirus, Nadhim Zahawi says, but he hasn’t ruled out a return of face masks. The Telegraph has more.
He said he had contingency plans to keep schools open, but told Sky News: “I don’t want to return to bubbles because actually, you saw the fall off in attendance which really does harm mental wellbeing, mental health of children.”
Mr Zahawi did not, however, rule out the return of the wearing of masks in the classroom in England.
He said: “We’ve got a contingency plan, as you would expect me to do… it contains lots of contingencies, including masks, absolutely.”
The bubble system, which led to whole year groups being sent home to self-isolate for 10 days because one of their classmates tested positive, was scrapped by the Government after more than one million pupils were kept off school in July.
The controversial approach was stopped on July 19th, as Boris Johnson announced that the “obvious way forward” was testing pupils rather than sending large numbers of children home to self-isolate. …
The mandatory wearing of face coverings in schools and colleges was scrapped in May, but Government guidance says that directors of public health could advise schools to reintroduce them if cases spike.

I’m not sure in which comments section to post this, but I suppose it has a bearing on ALL this madness. And no doubt soon it’ll be taken down. An Australian politician speaking (or trying to speak) about the chances that are being missed with Ivermectin.

This is disgusting. As is Yougov Zahawi. I see he has three children – I wonder if they go around muzzled all day?
The “obvious way forward” is to leave the fuxxing kids alone!

Child abuse.
Had the email Monday to inform us they are back in my child’s welsh school. She has to wear a mask at all time in doors, including in all her lessons. It happened the same week as they started sending out the vaccine appointments for 12 -15. Parents are now begging for the vaccine as they “dont want things to go backwards”.
A vague undefined exemption claim is all that’s needed – they can’t ask why and aren’t allowed to refuse education on this basis; With regard to the vaccine – I tore up the consent form and am keeping my son at home on the day they’re doing it. I don’t want him to be involved with any aspect of it at all. Good luck.
Do these numpties not realise that the masks don’t work???
Stupidity beyond belief.
I bet none of the ministers children will be muzzled and coerced to take a jab they don’t need.
Plan B: rehashing the same old pish as before.
Children getting Covid…a good thing. As it is with any number of viruses. Not that the government will ever admit that, despite the studies showing natural immunity exceeds jab induced (And i am pro-jab for those over 30). So why are we worried about such “outbreaks.” And exactly how much did masks help last August-July? Oh right, nil.
Any changes should await an outbreak leading to significant hospitalizations. Anything other than that is just cause for panic. And lets follow the Germans, Danes and others and stop testing healthy people!
Very upsetting photos. The most upsetting photos I’ve seen from all of this has been of children in schools
Do they have any actual science to back up their claims that masks make any difference?
Why are they ignoring actual scientific evidence that children are much less likely to spread covid than adults, that most children get their infection from adults, and that if they’re infected hospitalisation/death is very very very rare?
They are also ignoring their own statistics.
Here in Scotland schools are under the same mandates that were in place around Easter. Masks for all high school kids. Same social distancing.
Same complete lack of effect
And if the age groups of the most infected are the same as in England, then it is mainly school age children who are getting tested positive since term began, so OK, Nicky baby, how do you reckon the masks are working in schools
We’ve got a plan B!
(Pulls out Plan A, hoping nobody will notice)
Title: Plan A

See Plan B
Huxley wrote the blueprint for this in Brave New World. His ‘epsilon’ caste were starved of oxygen when young.
The plan to force a reduction in the flow of oxygen to the brains of children at school seems somewhat similar!
I am reluctant to dismiss this as crazy-talk!

I have a feeling that all the things that are mentioned as being “Plan B” are probably actually “Plan A”.
Not that I’m cynical or anything…
Nobody needs to comply with this ever, a simple refusal/vague exemption claim is all that’s needed – schools are not allowed to prevent children from accessing education on this basis. And is the photo at the top of this article real? If it is, those responsible for this aberration should be barred from having anything to do with children ever again. A revolting image.
Now that the law on masks has been abolished, is there even a need for exemptions? A refusal should be enough, but I presume that children make easier targets than adults, since mandates and rules are empty.
It was never a legal requirement to wear a mask. The government knew that but hoodwinked the majority.
wish someone would tell that to my local branch of Tesco
Won’t they let you in? My big, local Tesco has been as bedwetting as any supermarket but I have always gone in there completely maskless throughout. For many, many months me and the missus were the only maskless people in there but no-one said a dicky bird. The manager often saw me but looked away and shuffled off when I met his gaze. They KNOW they cannot enforce it.
Same 100% in my Tescos. I think the secret was to never wear one from the outset and be confident in your outright rejection!
This is quite clearly psychological warfare against the population.
There is only one plan, and it’s Plan B.
Keep following the Agenda. All roads lead to Schwab.
Schwab is a routinely self- aggrandizing old fool with a lot of money.
Sweden!
Masks never worn.
Primary schools never closed.
Other schools hardly closed.
Number of Swedish schoolchildren without serious preconditions that have died of supposed covid? Zero. Zilch. Bugger all.
Is it just me or do lines of muzzled kids sitting at their desks look, you know, a bit sinister?
It seems to me that our inglorious leaders might be getting some kind of a kick from the symbol of subjugation that is faceknickers. You gotta ask some serious questions of anyone forcing children to put these things on!
I believe the word in the OED is ‘fetish’.
“a man with a fetish for surgical masks”
Wearing a mask is good for your physical and mental health, if you want to destroy both, that is.
If Nadhim Zahawi doesn’t think forcing children into muzzles doesn’t “harm mental wellbeing, [the] mental health of children” he doesn’t think about anything.
The Telegraph uses this pic for its piece – unbearable but apt.
This government needs horse whipping!
And pistol whipping.
I’m not naive enough to think that intelligence and honesty are sufficient conditions for good governance, or functioning in society.
… but they are necessary conditions.
Ergo ….
Come on everybody you know they’re following the science they have been all along. There’s no damage done by wearing face masks only benefit the same with vaccinating children it’s all good. Trust the SCIENCE and the BBC and ITV they’re experts don’t you know.
I try to stop thinking about it because either I’m insane or the world has gone insane.
Ahhh that’s reassuring, I was beginning to think it was a sinister plot to destroy social structures, hope and the future.
It seems to work. Ample proof that it must be unintentional. :->
Unfortunately a sinister plot is the only conclusion that can be drawn. Insanity is with the masses who can’t see through all the bull shit, it baffles me.
plus wearing a mask has zero impact on breathing while exercising apparently…
Kids injected from 12 up is an integral part of the plan. The ‘Covid passes’ which are being introduced around the world all start at 12. With less than half of 12 year olds injected in the U.K. expect the fear to be ramped up again.

I don’t suppose he has any evidence that masks do anything, at all, at fucking all, has he?
I don’t need a mask anyway, I have this stone that I bought to keep tigers away, but I have upgraded the firmware and now it keeps viruses away too.
You only have one stone? Oh dear. [backs carefully away while summoning a Swab Stasi]
I’m on two but I’m donating my third stone to the developing world – they need it much more than I do and it would be unethical for me to take a third stone.
