I’ve written a piece for Mail+ urging Boris not to waiver in his resistance to the hysterical chorus screaming for more Covid restrictions. Here is an extract:
The drum beat for more Covid restrictions reached a deafening roar last week with the head of the NHS Confederation, Matthew Taylor, demanding the government implement ‘Plan B’ to avert a ‘crisis’ within the NHS. That meant mandatory mask wearing, vaccine passports and working from home.
He was soon joined by trade union leaders like Frances O’Grady, scientific advisors like Professor Adam Finn and politicians like Keir Starmer.
All the usual suspects toured the radio and television studios, urging the Prime Minister to spring into action to ‘save the NHS’ ahead of this year’s flu season, expected to be worse than usual.
But Boris Johnson held his nerve. He sent out his Business Secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, to declare there would be no further lockdowns and his Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, held a press conference at Downing Street where he announced the government would be sticking to ‘Plan A’ for the time being.
And, once again, Boris’s instincts have proved correct. He ignored the doomsayers, just as he ignored Professor Neil Ferguson and Independent SAGE when they warned daily Covid cases would increase to 100,000 if ‘Freedom Day’ went ahead on July 19th and could go as high as 200,000. Instead of continuing to rise, cases have now started to fall of their own accord, just as they did over the summer.
Yesterday, the Department of Health reported 36,657 new cases in England in the previous 24 hours, down a quarter on last week’s peak and the second day in a row there’s been a week-on-week drop. The number of registered deaths of people who’d tested positive in the previous 28 days was 38, down 16% on last Monday.

Miliband Minor is fruitcake of Marxist loins, Sir Bliar once upon a time played in a boy band, is devil incarnate and should be up before the Beaks at The Hague for the Iraq War.

“…The Trial Of Tony Blair”
Peter Hitchens has no time for Anthony Charles Linton Blair, regularly referring to him as ‘the Olympically dim Blair creature’.
MkII Lawyerly Labour leader. Attlee was MkI, Starmer is MkIII.
From Attlee’s Welfare State to Allcomers Welcome, in 80 years.
Progress means change, but change does not always mean progress.
Blair isn’t dim he is a self serving, manipulator who has only one concern, himself and he doesn’t care who he tramples on or what he destroys in order to promote himself and feather his own nest.
The Great Liar isn’t the solution to anything.
But he has recognised that Reform’s policy on the Net Zero SCAM and the consequential destruction of our remaining industrial manufacturing base is going to seriously resonate in the UK’s former industrial heartlands where Reform already taking huge chunks out of the Labour vote.
He’s desperately trying to get Two-Tier to rein-in Mad Ed. That’s all.
Like Dr Frankenstein trying to rein in his monster.
I wonder how many involved in this farce have ever worked outside Government, Lobbying etc, i wonder how many have spent many years in the industrial/commercial world?
As for Blair what is he? A lawyer who spent I think I am right in saying 7 years on the job, considering the time it takes to qualify, articles etc this would mean his experience is negligible. He was a disaster for this country, he destroyed the constitution through devolution and the appointment of a supreme court, which means Parliament is no longer in charge, hence the problems we face now. He was the root cause of our Industrial demise, he took us into an illegal war which kicked off the mass influx of people who despise us and seek to turn the country into a Caliphate. He is a self seeking Parasite who has for money done business with some of the world’s worst regimes, and yet, and yet, he is still given the oxygen of publicity and fawned over by Labour. He is a Man without honour and not to be trusted.
The picture: Milliband needs to work on his ‘sombre reflection‘ face. Our Tony’s nailed it but Milliband just looks sulky.
(I’ll read the article later).
Edited to stop the American speil chucker correcting ‘sombre’ to ‘somber’.
Whatever a problem might be, Tony the Liar is never going to be a solution.
Exactly he’s normally the cause of the problem then he can charge people i.e the tax payer for not solving whatever loathsome thing he’s created.
Heartily agree – we need to move on from the Blair era. And great research by Ben Pile.
Tony Blair is Beelzebub’s representative on Earth and should be accorded the respect his position deserves.
