It is 30th November. The day on which the government should have released papers on lockdown impact assessments as ordered by the Information Commissioner under F.O.I.
Has anyone heard anything yet?
“Lockdown looms and our liberties are in tatters.” I don’t think the Telegraph is helping matters by choosing such headlines. By saying “lockdown looms”, they are nudging the public to accept it if it happens. IF. IF. Yes, we sceptics are saying bringing back the masks is the thin end of the wedge of further restrictions, and lockdown might happen yet. But misleading headlines of “lockdown looms” are fuelling the fear, nudging the public to accept the idea, and doing the government’s dirty work for them. The Telegraph could have said “Winter lockdown must not happen”, but it choose the bad-news-sells line “lockdown looms”. I feel that the Daily Sceptic constantly linking to doom-laden articles such as that is not helping either. We need to see more articles actively arguing against restrictions, and why they are NOT needed.
‘Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see
That nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row’
Another press conference tonight FML!
When will it end, these moronic fucks.
All planned weeks and weeks ago I am sure.
They’re not morons, well not all of them, they are evil.
When EVERYONE ignores them and gets back on with life!
Exactly. However, with a majority fear-filled population, that isn’t going to happen any time soon.
It’s not going to end any time soon. The clue is in the “three weeks to flatten the curve”, as we enter the third year.
A quick tour of the local shops and no problem with the Co-op and Sainsbury’s with no mask. Smaller shops not a problem either. Popped in to the local doctor’s to put in a prescription and none of the four receptionists behind the counter have a mask on. Perhaps they do a daily test, who knows?
Yes just say you test daily…
They don’t need to know your test is looking in the mirror.
I wish Julia Hartley-Brewer would stop saying that masks are merely “theatre”. They are no such thing. They are a visible sign of Government control over our lives and the idiots who are still wearing them need to realise that. A friend overheard a conversation a couple of days ago in a shop where a couple were being praised for having their toddler masked. Why? Because, as the commentator pointed out “it’s great that you are getting them used to it so early on [in their young lives]. Honestly, you could not make this crazy stuff up. So, give it up, Julia – you’re aiding and abetting this crime against humanity. Same goes for this business of being against coercion but telling the world at every opportunity that you have been jabbed, that YOU are no conspiracy theorist. Most of the GB News presenters do the same daft thing. It shows that they really do not know what is actually going on – that neither the masks nor the vaccines are “what they say they’re about” to slightly paraphrase Neil Oliver, the only presenter who doesn’t boast about his “conspiracy-theory-free status” OR his “vaccine status” – I suspect he’s much… Read more »
I have just unsubbed from the telegraph after a particularly egregious piece of mask propaganda. Can anyone suggest a good balanced centre right newspaper? Ideally one without constant advertorials from the government or gates.
The Daily Sceptic?
It depends what you mean by “centre right”.
If you mean small-c conservative then I can’t think of any. Perhaps The Spectator gets closest.
The Spectator are full blown collaborators
The Telegraph is the least-worst of the MSM when it comes to Coronabollox, so I reckon you will be out of luck!
The Conservative Woman? It’s not just for women and it’s conservative with a small ‘c’, and it’s up there totally with the Daily Sceptic for its scepticism!
Yes CW is pretty much the only right of centre publication left, now that The Spectator has mostly sailed leftwards.
As others have stated, as well as the DS, there is The Conservative Woman (TCW) site – and also the UK Column.
Just been to a Tesco superstore near where I work. I estimate 50% unmasked. The security guard on the door smiled and said good morning. Not a word about it. Retail are not in the slightest bit interested in this. Witless & Unbalanced can bleat all they like and the government can threaten fines, but it just ain’t gonna happen. People have had enough and they know that the lack of logic behind the rules and rank hypocrisy of the people that govern us has killed this one stone dead.
Ours seemed the opposite. I was not the only bare faced but effectively 100% were. They have stuck a notice on their ‘continue to be safe’ board saying masks compulsory, saw security guard offer a mask to one., but I just walked in.
Sorry, never heard of the World Health Association, but anyone saying any variant of Covid could be worse than Ebola is either a mad man or incredibly ignorant. And neither should be in charge of a shoe shine box, certainly not a health organisation.
And Germany what are you thinking? Nuclear not designed by bad communists or people who don’t understand tsunamis or backup protection are far safer than Russian gas and so called renewables. I’m all for leaving carbon based fuels behind (by definition limited supply), but only nuclear can provide mass populations power. The Telegraph had a scoop Merkel only backed Nord Stream 2 due to industry pressure. Too bad they didn’t fight for nuclear, then they would be enriching a former KGB leader’s insane follies.
“either a mad man or incredibly ignorant” Or in league with Satan
Look who’s leaving their job and look who former German leader Gerhard Schröder now works for.
Not health but medical. WMA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Medical_Association

https://www.wma.net/who-we-are/members/members-list-printable/
The guy is a media presence obsessed idiotic functionary, a barely qualified and for some years only part time practicing radiologist.
A previous strong advocate of Pandemrix too, a total pharma shill and one of the most zealous Covidians there.
Bug here, he actually got misstated by the even more panic mongering lusting left newspaper SZ.
All he said is he feared a variant more contagious than previously and as deadly as Ebola. He didn’t say Omicron would be that variant, or that Omicron is as deadly as Ebola. The newspaper made that up.
Of course, the fear in itself is medically idiotic, but don’t expect anything else from him.
That he runs the WMA tells you all about the qualification and trustworthiness of that profession you need to know.
It IS all theatre, (JHB) but how do we get them to stop? Muzzled slaves serving them, who just do the job without objection, they are unclean while the rest of them are clean enough to mix unmuzzled. What a strange society we’ve become, especially when Charlie is making a point about slaves.
No, it’s not “theatre” – it’s about control.
I agree it is about control but theatre is being used to bring about the make believe of “playing your part” and “acting like you’ve got it.”
Yes, but “theatre” is flippant. It does not drive home the fact that we are being controlled and the mask is a visible sign – in the same sinister spirit of the yellow Star of David which the Jews were made to wear in Germany in WWII. Indeed, Julia can’t stop smiling as she says “theatre”. I don’t think it’s funny.
Comparing cold symptoms to Ebola?
This man clearly needs sacking, this is a whole new level of deranged.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncomir
Oncomir is also an anagram on Omicron
Let’s be clear, men have always been arseholes, speaking from decades of experience of being a man I can confirm that fact. But the men that are women are still men, which only strengthens my assertion. In general, the women that are women who’ve been as successful as men got there by acting like men (arseholes). I used to prefer the company of women until society became more equal & everyone started acting like arseholes, men & women a like, that may make me sound like a misanthropic arsehole, which to be fair only supports my argument all men are arseholes, including Benedict Cumberbatch with a middle class liberal arsehole name.
The smelly rat for me is that we have groups who criticise generalisations about sexes or races or whatever, but then themselves make generalisations. So their case against generalisations about certain groups is nothing to do with truth or principle, it’s just another case of people thinking it is they who should decide which opinions are acceptable.
Bang on the money, Julian.
As ever, it’s an individual’s actions that matter.
Identity politics seems like such an obviously bad idea to me, and I believe history agrees with me
It always was a disastrous idea. The problem is that there is a Gresham’s Law effect here – the adoption of identity politics by one group makes it necessary to respond in kind or be trampled. This is why most of the social and political effort in this country for a couple of generations has been directed at preventing any such reaction from men, and from whites.
Yes.
So seeing the lock step panic around the world to this makes me think there are two options:
Medical.
A/. Its an escaped bio weapon and we’re all gonna die.
B/. Its a cover for A.D.E.
Control.
A/. vaccine passports to facilitate great reset/ green agenda.
B/. Massive financial crash and great depression and war with china
C/. This will lead to digital currency.
D/. Sturgeon gets her rocks off on it.
Obviously I’m not going to wearing a face covering, never have never will. But out of curiosity, does anyone know if this has been rewritten back into law please? I keep seeing it being referred to as mandate, rules etc but have the actually reinstated the law they abolished back into July?
I can’t find the new law, just this
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own
Which says guidance will be updated soon following change in law from 4am today
Thanks. I sense a bluff!
I’ve been checking regularly since yesterday and apart from that nothing seems to have appeared. In addition to the link you give, relevant sites are:
https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
and (for the actual legislation):
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/coronavirus
I’ve had a look on Hansard, and these pages are relevant:
https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2021-11-29/debates/D925097E-3B2F-4E65-9AD0-BEA5A41911AC/Covid-19Update
https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2021-11-29/debates/4A170B20-B6AB-452C-B4E2-CF280898A753/BusinessOfTheHouse
So far as I can see no statutory instrument has been published, and it’s unclear from the Hansard report whether the new ‘rules’ are actually law today. Telling the public that something has the force of law before it actually does is of course something they have form on from March last year.
They imposed this “legal requirement” back then, without going through Parliament, without peer-reviewed, scientific studies to PROVE that masks ARE beneficial in a public setting and do not cause harm (hence the exemptions) and by imposing fines to threaten people with they took their compliance as consent. I suppose they’ve just dusted it off and slotted it back in🙄
Yes morally I don’t feel any obligation to abide by these secondary laws or statutory instruments anyway. I don’t fully understand the legal shenanigans but I know enough to know that new laws should not be passed in that way. As Lord Sumption says, I could’ve coped with them using the Civil Contingencies Act as I think they have to debate it in Parliament every month and prove it’s an emergency.
O well, here we go again, same old,same old,etc,etc, ad infinitum.
I’m 73 next month and I honestly don’t think that I shall live long enough to see an end to this never ending insanity.
I’m 34 and I also doubt that I will outlive the disaster that this government has visited upon this country.
Better a worst case Imperial situation, if I’m honest, than this continued disregard for good governance and our historical freedoms.
“Better a worst case Imperial situation, if I’m honest, than this continued disregard for good governance and our historical freedoms.”
Undoubtedly. At least it would have been over and done with in a couple of grim years, without the long term social, economic, political and cultural harms of the panic response. (Some would argue, of course, that those harms were the objective all along.)
And this is just the beginning of what they have planned for us. Check out Australia.
The CEO of Moderna says vaccine effectiveness will likely be lower against Omicron variant, “there is no world where the effectiveness of our current jabs is at the same level as against Delta. I think it’s going to be a material drop …..all the scientists I’ve talked to are like….this is not going to be good”. Stephane Bancel.
Not good for whom Stephane? Those who’ve already been triple jabbed or the pharmaceutical companies themselves?
Isn’t this what some scientists were saying at the very beginning anyway? Jabbing during high incidence of a disease can cause mutations to escape, particularly with leaky jabs?
The fact that these jabs focussed on the spike protein and not the rest of the virus, this was bound to happen. Thirty two mutations on the spike protein?
Oh dear, oh dear.
Painter and decorator arrived this morning. The first thing he said to us was, without any prompting, “I wish I’d never had the jabs. I haven’t felt right since”
I’m hearing and reading that more and more.
Tom Slater can’t seem to write an article without the inane claim that the vaccine is safe and effective. It’s hugely irritating.
It’d also false, we don’t have long term safety data, and it’s clearly a relatively unsafe vaccine compared to the flu shot. And it’s not wholly effective else why boosters after 6 months?
I think they have to say it’s safe and effective. It’s the 2021 equivalent of Heil Hitler. Failure to state it raises serious questions in nasty places.
“Good morning Horse, before we get down to business what news is there of the fabulous safe and effective vaccines today?”
Something like that?
So much for the (false) image of the courageous, ground-breaking, outspoken, investigative journalist. Yeah right.
From the very outset it was plain even to people like me who have no knowledge about vaccines or testing thereof that claiming there are no long term negative effects had to be a LIE since clearly there had not been any ‘long term’ to measure against.
You make the assumption that there is such a thing as “common sense” in play here. It ain’t necessarily so, as the song goes.
This is exactly the problem with even the alleged best of the commentators in media outlets. They have been fooled themselves by the propaganda so they are of very limited use altogether.
Nice DT comment on Turdgeon’s up-your-nose idea:
“I’d want a rabies test if I met Nichola Sturgeon.”
or as she was known at Uni, “Seaweed”
Even the tide wouldn’t take her out.
As a Scot, I really CAN’T take offence at that…
Four weeks in prison if you don’t take the jab in Austria
Harsh penalties mulled for those resisting compulsory vaccination in Austria – reports — RT World News
On the bright side it’s still ‘voluntary’
For now.
All the remaining human beings will be in prison, making it the best place to be.
The problem is, once you are in the system as a “criminal”, in confinement, they can pretty much do what they want with you under “health and safety” rationalisations.
Total capacity of Austrias prison estate 8,000 is already overcrowded.
Temporary Alpine ‘camps’ would not look good on Google maps.
Hanging after a short trial needed for those who force injection on people.
The Times, 30 November 2021
Panic stations it is then. We have a political pandemic to maintain, after all.
“Germany shuts down nuclear capacity”.
Because of a red-green alliance again, I suppose. The last I heard, Germany were reliant for energy on nuclear dependent France – rather like Britain being reliant on coal burning China. What an utter shambles. These types are going to cause a real energy crisis at this rate, and guess who will suffer.
A lot of electric power in Germany comes from coal. Loads more than in the UK now. https://www.carbonbrief.org/how-germany-generates-its-electricity Not only that, quite a lot of it is lignite (brown coal); one of the most shitty fuels you can get.
Epidemiologists have already said that Omicron has the potential to be massively infectious, displacing Delta and inducing robust, long-lasting, broad-spectrum natural immunity with just mild symptoms.
Meanwhile, war criminal Sajid Javid stands up in the Commons and tells people injections will now be given out every three months, due to the appallingly short length of time Dose 3 protects for, or ubermensch status will be revoked.
Get the courts and jail cells ready.
‘Omicron will displace Delta with massively infectious version with only mild symptoms’.
Yeah, I read about virus doing that in ‘O’ Level Bioligy. It’s how they fade away, usual timescale too, 18 months to 2 years.
Can we change the channel now please ?
Brixits had its final Season; nobody’s interested in climate change, bored to death after 30 seasons on BBC and Netflix.
Find something new for us to worry about.
The terrorism Channel has been a bit quiet recently, see if they’ve got anything new.
The Royal Family Channel is always babbling on, for them wot wants it.
Useless Cunts I’m on the verge of pulling my Boy out of School.They gave him a yellow exempt badge last year that went in the bin followed by a strongly worded phone call to a useless waste of protein.
Other schools doing the yellow badge thing too?! You’d think they’d know better.
UNGEIMPFT
Home-schooling is a must now, for parents who wish to protect their children from an awful lot of evil, including the health propaganda.
As with so many historical events, it takes large shocks to the system to see things the way they are. Since the dawn of the internet age, unpleasant people have been using it to undermine the nation-state and create what they see as a borderless utopian world but is in fact a totalitarian nightmare surveillance state. Those same people have mercilessly exploited the coronavirus pandemic to further their agenda, with help from their little pet monkeys in various governments and also various ignorant gimps in the media.
Now, the agenda is clear for all to see and it’s decision time. Do you want to leave a democratic nation-state based on your ancestors’ traditions, to your children, or a Chinese Communist style surveillance grid and permanent prison lockdowns? Be under no doubt, this time in history is even more critical than the 1940s for the future of this world.
Sorry Horse, your ancestors’ traditions were left behind long ago. That’s why tptb are able to pull off this scam.
They can pull off the scam because of the gimps they own in the media. End that, and it all comes down.
Times muppets?
Oliver Wright probably does know better of course, but doesn’t appear to be let loose on big pharma corruption these days.
In fact, have any of the msm reported on corruption in the pharmaceutical industry lately? Certainly you used to get something coming up every so often.
It may only be a hiccup in history but thus far the ‘pandemic’ has done little to help the cause of an Ever Deepening Union for the EU.
Cracks are appearing around the edges and at member-member borders.
No doubt Ursula will find an excuse to introduce a new raft of laws to drag everywhere back into line.
As to the rest of your accurate observation, I’m just pleased I haven’t left any children to live In the f*cked up world created by the internet generation.
It must have been more than five years ago when an older teenager said wistfully to me
“I wish I’d been born before smartphones, there’s just no getting away from them”.
He was just talking about a girl not taking no for an answer, I wonder how he’s getting in in the big wide world of mass monitoring and tracking?
Hence the german push for even more “federalism” onto the peoples of Europe (i.e. german control VIA the EUSSR bureaucracy)
Always nice to track panickers’ public assertions and see how they stand up.

People can someone write me a short statement that I can use at work. They are having a consultation to update the H&S policy. Though they have no plans for mandatory injections they do want to make twice weekly LFTs mandatory. I do not intend on being injected or tested ever.
I work for a social housing charity as a Painter of empty properties. Any advice would be appreciated.”
Anyone help this fella? Posted to yesterday’s Roundup after it had settled into the dead zone.
My first thought is that the guy you want was AwkwardGit, who used to post here last year, but no longer does. Anyone know if he frequents one of the other Sceptic sites? He was red hot on HnS policies (and on hassling local council busybodies generally).
I’m not expert in this area, but from my vague recollections of his techniques, one useful tactic is to point out that they will be responsible for any consequences suffered as a result of using the tests repeatedly, and ask them if they’ve carried out an appropriate assessment of the safety of regular LFT testing. Can they prove there will be no long term… Read more »
I remember Awkward Git and regret his departure, almost as much as Biker who refined the art of being aggressively rude to its very pinnacle.
Honing in on individual responsibilities is often a good way to get a reaction from local authority bod. Stare at their ID lanyard, write their name down and use it in conversation. Can be quite intimidating without being illegal

Ok thanks. I will put together something. We have been back to work since May 2020 and now they want to introduce this to keep me ‘safe’. I have had words already stating my views but am as usual fixed with the 1000 yard stare.
If you want the real good stuff, see Julian’s post where he tells you where Awkward Git can be found, in the Reddit group.
I have a personal dislike of Reddit (the setup, not the sceptic group there) so I don’t go there, but nothing stopping you doing so.
AwkwardGit still posts here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LockdownSceptics/ where a lot of those who used to post on DS before the “toxic swamp” incident have gone. It’s worth posting the question there in the top comments section which is created daily (previous comments remain accessible too).
I would simply state the fact that I have serious conscience issues regarding the entire Covid health policy and I feel compelled not to co-operate with any of it. We regularly hear statements (e.g. around Poppy Day) that if more people had resisted various elements of Hitler’s tactics, things would have been different. It may sound extreme, but that is how dictatorships take hold, by removing or restricting our freedoms bit by bit. In conscience (I would say) I cannot risk assisting in what appears to me to be a power grab by politicians, an attempt to switch from democratic governance to a system of governing by diktat.
By the time you’re finished, they’ll be worn out and say “OK, fine…” (smiley face if I new how to post one on Disquis!)

Thank you posting that. The Local is not so bad as some so called newspapers I could write about here.
Really struggling to make sense of this. It was totally warped from the start, but the last day or so has been demented. Is the panic real (for them), is something not going to plan? A lot of people seem very rattled.
To channel Oscar Wilde: they were realising that they were in danger of not being talked about.
Maybe they realised how close they are to going to trial for crimes against humanity.

Bloomberg is horrendous, lockdown-loving vaccine fanatics.
‘Could’, ‘should’, ‘may be’, ‘can’, ‘might’, enough caveats to shake a stick at in that short article.
In my experience they’re all MSM code for WONT
