Campaigners from the Together Declaration group which opposes the introduction of vaccine passports will soon meet with members of the parliamentary Covid Recovery Group (CRG) along with other MPs and will together demand that the Government never imposes these passes, including under the pretext of an “exceptionally difficult winter“. The Sunday Express has the story.
Campaigners for the Together Declaration petition, already signed by almost 110,000 people, fear that the U.K. Government will be pushed into agreeing to a so-called ‘Plan B’ to bring in new restrictions over the winter.
It follows warnings by Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty last week that the NHS will “experience an exceptionally difficult winter” this year. …
Already, Sir Graham Brady, Chairman of the 1922 Committee, which represents backbench Conservative MPs has signed the declaration.
He said: “‘Vaccine passports would set an alarming precedent where our medical records become public and some people are subjected to discrimination as they seek to go about their everyday lives. Surely that isn’t the kind of society that we want to create?”
Another senior Tory MP, Sir Desmond Swayne added: “It is contrary to all our values and traditions to have to prove that we have undergone a medical procedure to go about our lawful business.
“It is coercive and discriminatory, the abandonment of liberal values; a frightful precedent to set. I am appalled that a Conservative Government could contemplate such a measure. If we start down this road the future is dark.”
Campaigners will meet former minister Steve Baker, Deputy Chairman of the powerful CRG, and other Parliamentarians tomorrow before unfurling a 40m banner in Parliament Square.
Other confirmed supporters include MPs Esther McVey, Philip Davies, Chris Green and Henry Smith as well as Baroness Fox and Lord Sharpe from the Lords. …
The declaration is being organised by campaigner Alan Miller who fears that vaccine passports in England will come.
He said: “The U.K. Government has never taken Plan B off the table and now they have happened in Wales and Scotland it will be very tempting to introduce them.”
The petition has also been signed by leading scientists and medics including Professor Karol Sikora, leading cancer specialist; and Marcantonio Spada, professor of Psychology at London’s Southbank University.

Stop Press: This event has been postponed for a couple of weeks because both houses of Parliament will be closed tomorrow following the tribute to Sir David Amess.

This is nonsense they will bring it in whatever. Can’t imagine why that complete utter and total CUNT Gates is dining tonight with the fat twat at number 10 can you?
Currently we have two months when the pass can be avoided in England..
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-medical-exemptions-proving-you-are-unable-to-get-vaccinated
Some businesses in England choose to use the NHS COVID Pass as a condition of entry. Until 24 December, businesses can decide whether to allow in people who self-declare that they’re medically exempt.
From 25 December, if you’re unable to get vaccinated, you’ll have to use the NHS COVID Pass in the same way that people who are fully vaccinated use it.
This caught me out today. I have bought tickets to events I regularly go to, only to receive, after paying for my tickets, an e-mail telling me I will need to show proof of vaccination to get entry. (“in order to keep everyone as safe as possible”) The events are this month so I assume I can still self declare exemption, as the government are aware that it will take time for people to get a formal exemption from the GP and whatever other system they are putting in place.
However it was a shock to realise I cannot just go about my lawful business without interference any longer. I am told I need permissions.
I doubt I will be complying with any of… Read more »
I am also interested to find out more about the system for assessing exemptions. It is opaque.
You have to apply through your GP but the guidance does not state unequivocally that the decision is made by the GP.
Is the decision referred to another body? And who might that be?
And what happens to the details of the applicant?
You would be on a database of some sort – will you be required to repeatedly prove your medical exemption?
Does an exemption have an expiry date?
What are the criteria for deciding whether someone qualifies?
Why can you not appeal an incorrect decision?
What legal basis does this system have? Be interesting to get this analysed.
It looks to me like this system is illegal. and contravenes all the Disability laws.
I believe we have the right to know how these decisions are made, what assessments are used to validate an application, how applications are scored, who makes the decision, and if an application is turned down there must be a legal right of appeal.
This system is an outrage, it is essentially behind closed doors and decisions are made in secret.
We also have a right to know… Read more »
Enough, please; no more teasing with reports that a handful of MPs may stir themselves to protect the rights and liberties of those who pay their bloated salaries. We know, and you know, that it isn’t going to happen.
I voted for a central government, but I am being ruled by a minority party in a land to the west. I hope if the vote is against vaccine passports and for the abolition of the covid act, it is enforced UK wide. We have power-mad muppets in our separate nations who constantly contradict Westminster decisions. We are not talking anti-vaxxing, or anti-covid, it is about national governments rules being enforceable throughout the UK. Stop giving these nutty empire-builders vetos over government legislation even if veto is the wrong word, that is what it amounts to in practice.
That’s devolution in action. The peoples of the little nations of the laughably misnamed ‘United’ Kingdom wanted the ability to do things their way, albeit at England’s expense, and they were given it. Don’t start whining now that it doesn’t suit you.
It seems that in Scotland being vaccinated will get you in somewhere whilst a negative test won’t ! This is such nonsense that you might think that COVID passports aren’t actually about public safety at all….
The death shot passports are already a thing. Already being implemented. Brighton Dome. Portsmouth Guildhall. The European PGA Tour.
Hardly hard line protestors are they, “let’s postpone for a couple of weeks because parliament is shut”. Ffs
What a waste of time.
Digital tracing is the objective- as most here realised long ago.
In order to achieve this :-
1.Create fear, easily done based upon an invisible deadly enemy and an eager MSM.
2.Create “vaccines” as the only solution to the health crisis. Big pharma been waiting in the traps for years…
3.Create a system to differentiate the clean from the unclean in order to allay the fear. Big Tec – as per big pharma….(mandating bells not really on in the 21st C.)
4.Et Voila – I give you your Green Pass to Health and Freedom.
There’s no chance that passports won’t happen despite the superiority and permanence of natural immunity, the jab being dangerous in itself and only offering temporary non sterilising immunity rendering the very concept of passports a complete sham.
The above is science based, easily proven yet is ignored by the MSM for obvious and sinister reasons.
The governments of the world are being told what to do, this is much bigger than your bloody useless MP’s.
Hold the line. There are many more of us than they would have you believe – especially those at the sharp end in the NHS.
Just how many repeats of this sick soap will it take for the mouth breathing masses to realize they might have seen this episode before?
“there is no medical or epidemiological justification for the Covid passport. It is only intended to pressure the unvaccinated to vaccinate” – Israel Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz (caught on hot mike, 12.9.2021)
WHERE. ARE. THE. CHURCHES?
They should be at the forefront of defending our freedoms.
Why not write and ask them? You could post their replies here.
See above.
They should indeed SimCS. Our prayer group wrote to Welby a few months ago asking him to make a public proclamation that such things would NEVER be accepted in any premises belonging to or operated by the Church of England.
We received this reply:
Dear Mr xxxxxx and other signatories,
Thank you for your recent email to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Much as he would like to, the Archbishop is unable to respond personally and in detail to the unprecedented number of e-mails and letters that he is receiving, and so I have been asked to reply on his behalf.
Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to share your comments and concerns regarding vaccine passports, which I have noted and communicated to those advising the Archbishop on these matters.
The Church has adopted a clear policy of encouraging people to be vaccinated, but, other than in very exceptional circumstances, it would be difficult for it to justify limiting access to church services or organisations on the basis of vaccine passports. Such an approach would run contrary to the principle of the Church being a home and a refuge for all. Similarly, only in exceptional circumstances… Read more »
“which I have noted and communicated to those advising the Archbishop on these matters“
I’m sure it’s reassuring to know that a flunky has “communicated your concerns” to other flunkies who occasionally report to the Archbishop.
Now that’s an open and accessible institution fully in touch with the concerns of its membership…
I have tried. No response.
A group of Christian ministers produced this back in April:
https://vaccinepassportletter.wordpress.com/
Even the encouragement to be vaccinated (and masked) runs contrary to the now prevailing evidence. That isn’t “non-discriminatory”; that isn’t “proportionate”; it is supporting tyranny. The Archbishops should acquaint themselves with the evidence, with the Great Barrington Declaration, and also Uttar Pradesh’s Test&Treat program, which DO care.
What they also fail to recognize is the extreme fear that has been instilled into the population. That alone should give reason for the Church to condemn all such pandemic responses. What were Jesus’ words on several occasions? “Do not be afraid”, yet the govt and its advisors have deliberately set out to make us afraid.
Thank you for trying. I was one of the signatories to that letter along with two others from our prayer group.
I will send a private message to you. Please get in touch.
The C.of E. will do exactly what it is told to do by government, whether by law or guidance, like a good little doggy. Just as it did before in 2020 with closure of churches and lots of cuddly online services. Members of their already diminished flock will go elsewhere and the empty churches will be sold off. It is a crying shame.
Ah, if only I could afford a redemption/forgiveness certificate…
We need HUNDREDS of MPs to oppose “vaccine passports.” But sadly, a majority are authoritarian lefties who salivate at the prospect of having control over the peasants. And there are far too many of them in the CON Party.
No MP is going to revolt. The only thing they see as revolting is the constituents who send them e-mails, because it is so tiresome to have to send out another standardised photocopy (or copy + paste e-mail) in reply, telling them that the vaccines and safety measures are important and it’s all about protecting others…… ZZZzzzzzz…….
Go away, you tiresome peasants, your MP has more important things to do than answer to you. Like sucking up to the Sheik of Qatar, or anyone with a big villa in Spain, or a luxury yacht in the south of France.
I don’t waste my time contacting my MP. If the revolution ever comes I’ll drag my arthritic carcass to his public execution and consider that time well spent, however, contacting him is time and effort wasted.
They must revolt . They see what’s coming
International Groupthink required lockdowns and mask wearing. Our government bought into both those pointless, ineffective measures. Now vaccine passports are in the International Groupthink narrative so our government WILL comply.
I am a dual British/Canadian citizen who has lived in Vancouver for 20 years. As a vaccine refusenik I have been a second class citizen since September 13th, when a provincial vaccine mandate denied me access to gyms, restaurants, cinemas etc. But at least I still have a job, unlike Police Officers, Doctors, Nurses, military personnel and even bankers who are being fired for not taking the vaccine. The final straw for me is Justin Trudeau’s ban on air travel, which will prevent me from ever seeing my elderly mother before she dies if I don’t get out before the end of this month, which is what I plan to do by returning to the UK for a while.
Vaccine mandates are pure evil. Deeply divisive and discriminatory. There is no medical reason why an unvaccinated person cannot get on a plane with a negative COVID test or why those insisting on vaccine mandates refuse to recognize natural immunity. But this isn’t about public health it’s about despotic politicians like Trudeau crushing anyone who disagrees with them. And once they have forced you to violate your bodily autonomy by taking a vaccine you don’t want to take, what can’t… Read more »
I still feel it’s incredibly depressing after losing so many lives fighting political totalitarians in the 20th century, that we need a debate in 2021 about whether or not the global state should be able to tag and track all humanity like livestock. Perhaps there really is just no hope for us as a species.
Absolutely no hope whatsoever.
A very good point, Horse. Last year I did NOT attend the remembrance service at our war memorial as I could not stand the hypocrisy.
I would urge every one on here to do the same.
Perhaps we could organise our own service, part of which would be a lament for what we have lost.
I still don’t know why this is even a thing. I’ll never carry one, under any circumstances, so my view is that if most people think like this, it’d dead on arrival.
Vaccine passports remind me of the passage from the Bible, Revelations 13:17.
“And no man shall buy or sell except him who hath the mark of the beast”
(Slightly different depending on which translation you look at but the gist is always the same).
A lot of people might say that Revelations is the rantings of a deluded self declared mystic, however if the Beast is taken to represent the Roman empire then it could be seen as a warning against totalitarian governments that is applicable to our times as much as it was to the first centuary.
If only we had a moderate PM, Johnson has never ever been moderate
Johnson isn’t capable of running the HOC bar.
I know one MP who won’t have signed it.
Ours.
I’m not actually sure he knows how to write his own name. Perhaps if mummy – sorry, his primary caregiver – guided his handy-pandy he might just manage it, but not on an honest document, that’s for sure.
Sorry (but not surprised) to hear that, Annie. Our MP should have signed it – he has told me on numerous occasions that he is against these evil and satanic documents.
However, as we on here know only too well, this evil, tyrannical and satanic government is DETERMINED to introduce these infernal things, in spite of all the opposition to them.
I look forward to the day when the people pushing these things will be put on trial. Although places of worship are CURRENTLY exempt from all this, I do not imagine for one nanosecond that this will be the case for much longer. Look at Australia.
The party has enough dirt on him/her/it/? to get them to slit their children’s throats should the party wish to. All the parties prefer their MPs to have little secrets they wish to keep quiet.
Dozens? Why isn’t it hundreds?
Good question. I don’t have an answer.
Some will be part of the global state, others will be morons, others will be compromised. Subtract all them and you’re left with a few dozen.
What possible comfort can anyone takes from ‘dozens of MPs’. It needs to be in hundreds. Grow up, current MPs are not saviours as they’ve demonstrated throughout by their support for anti-democratic measures.
If people start showing support en masse, more will join. We all have to do whatever we can. The fight is a long way from over.
Makes me laugh when they say ‘Chairman of the Powerful’ this and that. These turds have no say at all because they are all cut from the same cloth.
Unlike what Fauci, Biden, and Big Pharma are telling the American public about the safety and effectiveness of the 3 Covid Vaccines, the following DOD stamped document shows 60% of the hospitalized are fully vaccinated.

I am as big a cynic as anyone on this site, but I have to say I found reading and signing this declaration quite therapeutic. The main thing about it is that it lists hundreds of names of people from all walks of life – science, medicine, arts, media, sport, politics, all of whom feel the same way that I do and you do too.
This is so important because so many of us have felt so alone in this crisis that we have at times doubted our own sanity. Reading sceptics of course helps a little but all the while you wonder who these people are that are posting here and sometimes also wonder about their own motives in doing so. Reading that ever growing list of names from this declaration should allay your fears on these counts.
Will it make any difference? Who knows, probably not, but read it, sign it and perhaps you will not feel so isolated as I often do.
Well said – my thoughts also
I’m trying to find out what time this is all due to happen. We should be there in support. Anyone know?
the Coronavirus Act is up for renewal on Tuesday 19 October. email your MP to vote for its repeal in memory of the murdered MP.
I doubt if there will be enough of them to be able to block it.
I wrote to my MP recently (Conservative, very safe seat) asking for his opinion / comments on the way in which the government had deliberately set out to stir up hostility and hatred against the unmasked, and more recently the unvaccinated. I gave examples, including the dystopian posters, the regular demands for ‘proof’ during the muzzle mandate, the vax coercion, and the looming threat of vax passports. I also pointed out that there is clear evidence that muzzles don’t work (they are invisible on infections graphs) and that vaccines to not prevent spread.
He replied with a copy and paste of the current situation with muzzles (recommended in crowded space, etc). I responded to that, thanking him for his response and pointing out that it didn’t address my question. He did reply again stating that he had nothing further to add, and that he would recommend everyone to get vaccinated.
This is what we are up against – they won’t even engage in discussion about the over-reach of government powers or the way in which they have made people’s lives a misery with their vindictive… Read more »
Always send a pic of Jo swinson the sacked anti democratic illiberal MP.
Same with mine, same reply from con, safe seat, makes one wonder if they and their families have been granted immunity from all of this if they keep promoting the party line
They and their families will have been given a saline shit and not the killer vaxx. They all know what they are pushing onto us.
Meant shot but perhaps it’s appropriate given I was talking about MPs.
How does one edit comments here?
Actually this is one of the things that keeps me going…these MPs will be living in the same shit world they are creating…it’s not a Sci-Fi movie where they all go and live on some Utopian ‘off-world’ perfect biome! Their kids will have the same shitty woke education, go to the same crap ‘zoom-only’ Universities, face the same failing ‘green agenda’. A week in the ‘dacha’ in Rock won’t make up for the crap that’s coming everyone’s way….
Have you read Utopia?
Our elected politicians are appeasing unelected global cartels who want us controlled.
Couldn’t have said it better.
Because they are controlled by those unelected global cartels.
‘If we start down this road the future is dark.’
As in Gulag Wales.
