Boris Johnson today admitted that a Christmas lockdown was not completely off the cards and made a desperate plea for Britons to get their booster jabs. MailOnline has more.
The PM – who appeared to be suffering from a cold – warned “storm clouds” of infection were gathering over Europe and forcing nations back into restrictions, which highlighted how the UK “cannot afford to be complacent”.
He said people should get a booster if they want to “avoid restrictions on daily lives”, adding that it would be an “utter tragedy” if double-vaccinated people died from Covid because they didn’t get one.
Mr Johnson also admitted people might need proof of a booster jab to be considered “fully vaccinated” in the future, in a move which could cause fresh chaos for Britons’ travel plans.
The warnings came as Britain recorded another 39,705 daily coronavirus infections, which were up nearly a quarter on last Monday’s figure. But deaths and hospital admissions – both lagging indicators – fell week-on-week.
There were 47 Covid victims registered today, down 18% on last week, and latest hospital data shows there were 976 admissions on November 9, down 7.5%.
The PM issued his warning at a Downing Street press conference, where he also confirmed that people in their forties will be offered a booster jab and older teenagers will get second doses.
Asked if a lockdown would be necessary if cases continue to rise, the PM said “clearly we cannot rule anything out” but insisted he didn’t “see anything in the data that says we have to go now”.
The comments came after Austria announced a draconian new lockdown on the unvaccinated, after a dramatic increase in infections, and the Netherlands imposed a curfew on pubs and restaurants to deal with rising cases.
Germany, France and Italy have also been seeing a significant uptick in their outbreaks. The PM was joined today by his chief scientists Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance at the Government’s first Covid briefing of the month.

“Boris Says he Can’t Rule Out Xmas Lockdown”.
Dear Boris, we do rule it out.
What the H*LL has this got to do with ”booster jabs”? We all know that there is no difference whatsoever between the jabbed and the unjabbed. Hasn’t this patronising oik just told us so himself?
Incidentally, and I am sure Toby will pick this up, Once Boris says that the double vaccinated who refuse the booster are unvaccinated he will be able to play the stats, because he will claim that the increase in Covid hospitalisations etc are down to the unvaccinated taking a page from the Joe Biden and Israel note book, this will allow him to demonise and other a percentage of the country, the disobedients, this will allow him to pave the way for mandatory vaccine or imprisonment,
All built on lies and manipulation of data, Watch for this appearing soon,
Two leaflets just posted through our door. One requesting money for the Lifeboats the other from our local council saying Covid cases rising in the Borough so wash hands wear face coverings. Both binned.
I’m going to have to have a few days off the internet because this is doing my head in. It’s unrelentless poppycock!
What happens when we run out of money? Futile stupidity created by a computer maniac and a psychopath. Historians will laugh at us. Fortunately nothing lasts forever.
No one believes a word that Johnson, or any member of governments from USA to Australia, NZ, Holland, Austria, Germany say. They don’t realise that the irony, that they have made themselves irrelevant.
Gilly Bates et al are standing by with metaphorical wheelbarrows full of the stuff. It won’t ‘run out’.
It would seem that the only immunity provided by these new jabs is for the makers…
Bloody hell!

Needs corroboration.
That was all over Twitter yesterday and was pretty much dismissed as a hoax. Haven’t seen anything new here.
Yeah.. I’ll half believe it when I see it..
Richard D Hall : Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see..
Florida needs to split from the union, become its own country so it can ditch vaccine entry rules then we can all leave this tragic Zombieland forever. I’ve never been particularly pro-firearms, but sun and guns is beginning to sound pretty good.
Let me see! If you “test positive”, and have no symptoms 5 days later, it is almost certainly a false positive. If you haven’t felt ill and had breathing problems within 15 days, and unfortunately died, then it is definitely a false positive. Why don’t they remove false positives after 10 days to show who may really be dying of covid? Side note – why are there more vaccinated than un-vaccinated per 100,000 in hospital and dying? Just saying!
When the best interpretation is that those in charge are irrefutably and irredeemably stupid, where else can society go except into steep decline?
Toby here writing propaganda… carelessly, no doubt. “Made a desperate plea” is what he hopes people will see it, rather than made a threat to coerce. “Admitted a Christmas lockdown was not completely off the cards..” Lol, as the kiddies say.
Guys, try to write without bias in those brief intros to the garbage which follows.
It is an outright threat, ‘get a booster if you want to avoid restrictions on daily lives’. It’s bad enough having to suffer the psychological war that is being waged on us, let alone having a Prime Minister threatening to remove freedoms if we don’t toe the line.
This is a misleading title as it creates the illusion that Boris is in charge , I think the more accurate headline is : Boris has been told to say that he can’t rule out a “Christmas” lockdown .
Kim Jong Johnson is Prime Minister and fully to blame for this.
Don’t portray the great fat communist fraud as a victim.
Agreed, but he has to do what he’s told.. or the skeletons in the cupboard will be rattled and more..
Or, in fact, there is no conspiracy, just as there was no conspiracy in Weimar Germany.
What is happening is that decades of teaching green ideology is being put into practice, just as in Weimar Germany.
Not a victim. But a useful idiot.
Here we go again. That man does more U turns than a dodgy sat nav. 🤬
Round and round we go. Surely the sleepy jabbies will cotton on that something ain’t quite right NOW FFS!
He said “2-3 weeks to flatten the curve”. He lied!
He said “face masks will limit the spread”. He lied!
He said “lockdown will stop the virus”. He lied!
He said “surface contact spreads the virus”. He lied!
He said ” there are no medicines, only the vaccine”. He lied!
He said “get your vaccine to be free”. He lied!
He said “another lockdown would stop the virus”. He lied”
He said “natural immunity is not an option”. He lied!
He said “Be double jabbed” to be free”. He lied!
He said “vaccines are ‘safe & effective'”. He lied!
He says “get your booster to be free”. He lies again.
When are the UK populous going to wake up to these lies, and say “No more!”.
He is a rabbit, frozen in fear in the car headlights. He does nothing but hand wave. None of his virus responses are effective, and only injure and kill even more than the virus. Time the Conservative party put him out of our misery.
Boris, Christmas is NOT yours to take away. Our freedoms are NOT yours to deny. You are our SERVANT, not our master, and if you can’t understand that, it’s time… Read more »
“Boris, Christmas is NOT yours to take away.”
-seemed to work last Christmas!
I hope you wrote directly to him to say this. Because he surely doesn’t sit at home reading all these comments.
fcuk your booster jabs, Mr Johnson. you will face charges of Crimes Against Humanity, together with your political colleagues and your SAGE apparatchiks. you had all better start preparing your excuses.
I hope it is a matter of time before one of these Governments falls and is made to pay the ultimate price for their corruption and evil. It will happen and they won
t all be able to escape to Gates hideaway . The first ? NZ, Victoria or Austria. Maybe here, who knows.It will be more than a mock up gallows prop that they will fear in the end.
We have already won.
The Great Awakening.
They are well protected. Even Susan Michie is still cackling away and jabbing pins into her voodoo doll of ‘one of the unvaccinated’.
Whilst fully masked up of course!
But do you write to HIM and tell him so? He’s not going to see any of these comments.
This caper should really hobble what’s left of the hopeless NHS, and especially primary care. The logistics and costs involved in administering and recording these noxious, ineffective, untried and dangerous substances as they are shoved into millions of people, willing or not, at ever-increasing frequencies will be enormous.
Even if, as per usual Tory practice, the whole rotten exercise is farmed out to “private enterprise”, likely involving that useless Harding woman, it will require money from somewhere. That may come off the NHS largesse, or be “new” money. Either way, it’s going to cost an inflated fortune. On past performance, it will probably be a giant cock-up as well.
“The comments came after Austria announced a draconian new lockdown on the unvaccinated”
Nothing quite like following in the footsteps of Austrians!
Vaccine Macht Frei!
So Johnson is not ruling out his christmas lockdown, but we are ruling out ours
I have avoided becoming a conspiracy theorist up to now but this Covid jabbing hysteria is little short of a global protection racket. Take your vaccines or we will lock you up and/or sack you for your own good of course. Well I am not locking down for Christmas or at any other time. I shall find somewhere to protest or perhaps an illicit social gathering to attend or a legal one in Sweden.
“global protection racket” – in a nutshell. However, Sweden is not as free as you may think, they still want you to be ‘fully vaxxed’ before you darken their doorstep.
And Finland is 100% for the Vaccine Passports. 100% face masks here in Finland too – at least in the UK you have some semblance of normality.
It’s a nudge, blackmail, call it what you will. I have two words for that fat Pig and the second one is off!
Just creating fear to coerce people into getting 3rd shot while ignoring concept of natural immunity
And also ignoring the fact that nobody knows what it will do, whether it will work, and its potential lethality. It’s the poisonous chalice that keeps refilling itself.
So if the “vaccines” one and two don’t work so you need a third, Why are children being injected with 2 products that don’t work? does this mean they too will have to have the third? will they have all 3 in short order on their small bodies? where are the results of three of these injections on children? what are the impacts on their bodies post 6 months? a year? 5 years? 10 years?
Answer the Government doesn’t know because the manufacturers don’t know but that has not stopped them continuing to shove the needle in.
We all need to stop and think “what sort of person does this? these are children still today being injected with substances that are now acknowledged to not work.
Interesting that they are giving the second dose to children when they KNOW that the myocarditis will increase… this is an incredible gamble on their part.
How on earth can someone convince themselves to have a third one of something which is the same as one and two and one and two don’t work? and what happens when three doesn’t work? will they seriously believe that four or the permanent patch will do it???
First paragraph just reads “be a good boy and line the pockets of the mega rich by taking their poison or else no presents for you”
Who believes this shite.
Johnson is a silly fat tw*t that no takes notice of any more. The moron can lock down if he likes for the next decade but many will just laugh at the hideous hypocrite and do as they please.
We are supposedly living under a health emergency but the tory scum continue to bring in around 1000 3rd world men every day, people who may be infectious with God knows what-whilst making it now pretty much impossible to travel abroad if uncontaminated..
The tories are finished -just hope we don`t end up with the full-on Marxists because the last 18 months will have just been a picnic in the park.
On recent performance, the Tories are well on the way to being full-on Marxists, in a sort of CCP way i.e. some very rich people, and the rest struggling peasants, controlled and forever “under the cosh”.
“but many will just laugh at the hideous hypocrite and do as they please”
Obviously not at harbours, airports, or for the Eurostar train to/from France, where face masks and “Your papers!” is de rigueur.
cases are not hospitalisations, I wonder how many cold cases we have in the country at the moment? how many flu cases?
So 3 weeks to flatten the curve to protect the NHS has now turned into permanant threat of slavery for this is what it is when someone holds your freedom and liberty in their grip, and your days out, right to work, see friends are now in return for constant enforced medical experimentation. Experimentation? I hear you cry, yes because the Covid non immunising vaccine is still not licensed, its still in its experimental trial phase. 2 injections of the experimental product are not enough, now to have a few months of Boris gifted freedom you must take another injection, then I suspect like the Israelis another in 6 month time, then the much talked about patch will be introduced so that we can all be medicated all of the time.

PNAC. Look it up. It goes into detail about how medical emergencies etc are the biggest earner as it scares more people than wars far away.
All about money
This shows Boris is a libertarian lockdown sceptic, according to Toby Young….
Yes indeed: VERY sharp, that man TY!
I can’t rule out totally ignoring that corrupt fat fraud!
Let’s Go Boris.
Listening to Bozo yesterday, did anyone else feel that his little homily lacked conviction, as if he didn’t really believe what he was saying and just reading from a script?
He’s such a bloody liar and bounder that he can’t be expected to believe anything that comes out of his own dishonest mouth.
