In response to the Belgian Government tightening Covid restrictions last Friday, anti-lockdown protesters marched through the streets of Brussels, the nation’s capital. Belgium has become the latest European country to receive this kind of backlash after imposing new Covid measures, with similar anti-lockdown protests occurring in Austria and the Netherlands only yesterday. MailOnline has the story.
Hordes of protesters marched through the streets towards the headquarters of the European Union, shouting ‘Freedom! Freedom!’ and carrying placards which read ‘everyday fascism’ emblazoned with yellow stars, drawing comparisons with the identification tags Jews were forced to wear in Nazi-occupied Europe.
The Government on Friday introduced fresh Covid restrictions – the third week in a row that rules have been tightened amid the latest surge in cases.
Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announced that nurseries and primary schools will close for the holiday season a week early, and children must now wear masks from the age of 6 years-old. Indoor events will only be allowed with a maximum of 200 people.
Previously, the Government closed nightclubs, and ordered bars and restaurants to shut at 11pm for three weeks.
The main crowd in Sunday’s mostly peaceful march had already dispersed when about 100 protesters ran into a riot police barricade cordoning off access to the European Commission.
After a brief stand-off with police, protesters threw rubbish and other objects, including a bicycle, at police and set off firecrackers and flares.
It comes a day after many cities in Europe saw demonstrations against new restrictions in the run up to Christmas – upwards of 40,000 people held protests in Vienna, Austria, while thousands more piled into the streets of Utrecht in the Netherlands and Frankfurt in Germany.
Austria last month became the first country in Western Europe to reimpose a lockdown, which is set to last 20 days, and said it would make vaccinations mandatory from February.
It comes as governments across Europe warn of the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant which has now been registered in several nations including the U.K., Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Norway…
Meanwhile in Austria, police used pepper spray and made several arrests on Saturday when more than 40,000 people marched through Vienna to protest against a lockdown and plans to make vaccinations compulsory.
Faced with a surge in infections, the government last month made Austria the first country in Western Europe to reimpose a lockdown and said it would make vaccinations mandatory from February.

I see that Belgium has gone back in time to the period 1940 – 1944!
One of my favourite films comes from that time, “One of Our Aircraft Is Missing”. They had a real resistance in those days.
When will it dawn on the covidiots, the sheep and the despotic “experts” and politicians that the collateral damage (witness the horrific death of Arthur) from lockdown and cancer, heart disease, ,suicide, etc and the3 mental and educational damage done is far, far worse than covid? When will any government publish accurate figures showing how many died actually from covid, not with covid, the average age of death, how many under 60s, under 50, under 18s died directly of it, how many already had underlying conditions. and how many have died of conditions that were made worse because of the insane concentration on this virus? So many questions, so many tyrants, so many sheep, so few accurate answers
I’d have a bit more time for these freedom fighters if they weren’t wearing the bloody masks.
it was inevitable that it will all end in the streets. The EU & Maybe UK ( by historical evidence ) Are prepared to be violent by Riot police or even the Army to Suppress The People.
This gives the initial impression that it’s just Belgium, Austria and the Netherlands. It isn’t. It’s happening in many more countries, throughout the world.
Can there be anythingmore absurdly paradoxical than demanding freedom while wearing a mask?
Maybe, but protesters often do wear masks as it makes it difficult for the authorities/oppressors to identify them. The delicious irony here is that the face coverings are officially sanctioned/required by those same oppressors.
For those who want to look into the “omicron” variant a bit more, here is a link to Dr Malone’s latest post, and an interview.
Plus a link to the Chinese dissident who believes omicron to be engineered in a lab.

Wearing a mask to protest?
Yes, wearing a mask on a freedom demo seems very odd.
A downtick, rather than a refutation, or comment is the equivalent of hiding behind a mask.
Good to see that people are finally fighting back against the Fascists.
My own small west country town had 17 people at our Stand in the Park yesterday, steadily increasing from around 5 back in May. If that’s indicative of the country as a whole, Johnson will get a similar reaction if he tries it on here.
Report from New Normal world: Just been to the cinema with a former boss who I have a lot of time for, consider a friend and would have described as worldly and level-headed until 2020. This is what I learned about NNs (who I don’t hang out with at all) this evening:
Yeah, they’ve lost the plot. He and his wife got injected at the first opportunity. Then they all caught covid. The adults were both quite ill, kids not so much. Let their 15yo son be injected when it was his turn “because he wanted to” and having recently recovered, are both booked in for their third. Proud holder of Covid Pass. Thinks the UK response has been a shambolic ‘apart from the vaccine rollout’ and willingly once again wears masks ‘because of omicron.’
I decided to keep quiet while this was being relayed in order to not identify myself as a potential threat but I did manage to get in “so, do you feel a bit short-changed. I mean about the vaccine not working?” He said it had, as he had only been ill for a couple of weeks (!). I did not tell him that when I… Read more »
It is temporary, it will be over in “a decade or more”.
It makes you wonder – what the hell are they afraid of? Is it because they still believe they’ll die – no question – if they catch It again? What cowards these people are – afraid of dying, AND afraid of living their lives.
They’re extending the mask mandate another 3 weeks, to pacify the terrified!

No matter what the COVID-regulation du jour happens to be, there’s always an anonymous whitehall source saying that it’s likely they’ll be introduced/ extended/ tightened/ etc.
The more interesting bit is: All nurses understand they have to provide non-judgmental care. But what we find difficult is that giving care to patients who have chosen not to be vaccinated has a knock-on effect on other patients. We are still human beings and we still get angry at things that we think aren’t just.
ie, another covert threat that angry NHS nurses could perhaps chose to kill unvaccinated COVID-patients because that’s just. Any respect I once might have had for the dangerous basket cases apparently abound in this institution is evaporating fastly. Have they perhaps formed an angry NHS nurses for Aktion T4 committee already and start to draw up lists of patients deemed be unworthy of medical care?
Can we request an unjabbed nurse treat us?
I mean you do lower the risks of having someone innumerate treat you.
Sydney Herald: Mr Perrottet said there was still much to learn about the new variant but the number of people getting seriously ill and ending up in hospital and ICU was low.
He said NSW would not be altering its existing road map, which will see further restrictions ease on December 15 including an end to masks, vaccination verification and QR code scanning in retail settings and restaurants as well as density limits.
the number of people getting seriously ill and ending up in hospital and ICU was low.
The relative amount of people getting seriously sick with COVID-19 has been low all the time.
agree
My friend ,who is a nurse , said that in 2020 she spent most of the days Perusing the internet as there was nothing to do.

Good for them. Respect bros. We’ve got our own Nazi Health Service to fight here. I wish they’d spend the money they’re wasting on covid propaganda on actual health care. I wonder how many hip opteations every covid ad on tv costs.
Off topic, but sod it: support and promote this man:
Bob Moran is a multi-award winning illustrator and cartoonist. Between 2011 and 2021, Bob was political cartoonist for The Daily Telegraph. During this time, he established himself as one of the most revered and popular satirists in the UK. His beautiful artwork and cutting commentary has brought him international acclaim and numerous awards, from organisations such as The Foreign Press Association and The Cartoon Arts Trust.
In 2020, as the Coronavirus crisis unfolded, Bob adopted a position of staunch opposition to all government measures and restrictions. He believed what was happening was immoral, unlawful and unnecessary. Through his cartoons, Bob asked people to contemplate the inevitable consequences of how governments around the world were behaving. In particular, he tried to highlight the horrific impact on children and the future society we were creating for them. This set Bob at odds with the majority in his profession. Despite being vilified and smeared by numerous parties, including his fellow cartoonists, he refused to abandon his principles.
In October 2021 The Telegraph informed Bob that they would be terminating his employment, enabling Bob to work on an exciting new professional venture which he… Read more »
Buycott his work!
Nice one.
An extra large T shirt will be on order very shortly and it will be worn with passion.
GBP40 well spent I reckon.
Good man.
They protest and shout “freedom”, whilst wearing masks..outside?! I just cannot reconcile the two..
Indeed. The only potential benefit is that they are hard to identify, perhaps, when their image is published globally, as it is here!
Yes that’s the only possible positive I could think of too. But as long as you’re not getting embroiled in violence it wouldn’t be an issue, for me anyway. It’s just such a contradiction, wearing the ‘mask of submission’.
While the MSM condemns the use of ivermectin, the most populated state in India just declared they are officially COVID free after promoting widespread use of the safe, proven medicine. In addition to this, Ivermectin attaches to covid spikes and prevents them from binding to ACE2. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Yeah because everyones dying of Covid and we all need emergency ivermectin to stay alive. This is garbage, sorry. Its like Joe Imbriano says, the ivermectin angle is about you picking a side. You dont believe in the jabs etc but you DO believe in ivermectin. Either way, youve bought the lies about a novel virus. This is why controlled opposition Infowars are pushing this hard now.
Reiner Fuellmich and other lawyers explain the real reason of this corona crisis
Georgia: Protesters rally against COVID passes in Tbilisi
Is there something objectively wrong with ‘COVID passes’?
Bless. Is that the ‘anti-socialist’ ‘downvoting’ a post, the same ‘anti-socialist’ who recently advocated ‘naming and shaming’ ‘downvoters’? Wouldn’t that be a wonderful irony!
I guess we’ll never know.
What we do know is the ‘anti-socialist’ is a self-absorbed meat sack who has no earthly idea how to engage in rational discourse.
Is there a reason you’re trolling me & being offensive?
Bless your wee nylons. I’m merely pointing out your inconsistencies and double standards. ‘Offensive’? Well aren’t you the doll?
You’re getting downvoted because you’re a pillock no other reason.
1. I couldn’t give a brass farthing about being ‘downvoted.’ That’s not the point.
2. You appear to be out of the loop. But since you’ve stepped in like an ignorant wee saviour, how about you tell me what’s objectively wrong with ‘COVID passes’.
Now, engage your swede. I agree that this concept is wrong, but I’m asking a self-professed meat sack (i.e., a self-centred atheist) why it is wrong according to his world view.
Context matters, huh?
Ah yes, objectively. Good and evil is not really the sort of thing that can be calculated by weighing and measuring things. Hence maybe the reason why atheist societies end up with so many rules. Tolkien had it right in “The Scouring of the Shire”.
‘Good and evil is not really the sort of thing that can be calculated by weighing and measuring things.’
On atheism, it is absurd to even speak of ‘good’ and ‘evil’.
Oh, I don’t think he/she did so badly. Didn’t really address my points though, same as others before him/her.
Everything is wrong with them.
The tests are bollocks.
The gene therapy is bollocks (at least as a ‘vaccine’ but credit where it’s due, it’s very effective at causing a lot of other problems)
Lastly, I abhor the idea of segregation or discrimination. Hold on, maybe I don’t. All the cunts in favour of the pass can go make a continental sized bed and wallow in each other’s piss. Yeah, let’s call it the Cunt Pass. All in favour?
(Apologies to anyone else for my dire language, I’m beyond pissed off with where we’re at)
‘Everything is wrong with them.’
I agree.
My question is, on atheism, is there something objectively wrong with compelling people to carry and show a ‘Covid pass’? What is ‘wrong’ with ugly bags of mostly water imposing their will on other ugly bags of mostly water? Do ugly bags of mostly water possess inherent dignity and value? If so, whence do they derive this dignity and value? What is it that bestows concepts such as ‘value’ and ‘dignity’ on ugly bags of mostly water?
This type of question is almost invariably met with silence. The atheist suddenly becomes very coy when faced with such a challenge.
Umm, “Whole Hour” option selected..
Come again?
When compulsory stabbing comes to Britain (and it will come), do not submit. Hold your ground. They will never be able to imprison us all.
For the sake of argument, let’s assume that at least one million of us refuse to be stabbed with the “vaccine”. The current prison capacity in England and Wales is 75,000. They are already at 104% occupancy – so already suffering from overcrowding. They will never be able to imprison one million (or more) of us.
They won’t be imprisoning us they will be taking our property off us.
Exactly that. New scorched earth laws coming into force in Australia proposing unlimited ‘protective’ detention for dissenters with ‘board and lodgings’ paid by gulag inmates. In the name of health, they fully intend to strip resistors of their assets and starve them into submission so that no one dare oppose them.
Let there be no doubt: they have declared open war on us.
They have crossed every conceivable line.
They have shocked us with their monstrousness, incomprehensible for most normal, sane people who simply struggle to perceive that such wickedness exists.
But it does.
And it will not go away.
No amount of British moderation can turn the tide now.
History is in motion.
They’ll be taking property off everyone! By 2030, ‘you’ll own nothing and be happy’, remember!
Yep, this is why we should not worry about fines and still refuse to comply.
Excellent message. Beautifully said.
Why is it called the “Green Pass” everywhere? Even our shitty ignorant media must surely think that it’s a little odd for the same name to be coincidentally chosen worldwide?
It does rather give the game away. I think we all know where this is going.
They’re not ignorant, they’re just corrupt
I can tell you from working in sales that green is a colour that people trust. Green means go. Green is the colour of nature. So when youre trying to trick a bunch of people into doing something they might not otherwise do and misrepresent a truly evil antihuman agenda as something good, green is a good colour to pick to represent it, because it induces favour and positive vibrations.
Which will be the first government to fall? It will happen as there is no turning back now and the protests are only going to get bigger.
THE ‘OMICRON’ VARIANT THAT DOES NOT EXIST FROM THE UNICORN VIRUS ‘COVID’ – BY DR ANDREW KAUFMAN
https://www.bitchute.com/video/DI8XDVfqBhuf/
BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin admits he has not taken the vaccine.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/XXOaBwXSAbjK/
Yeah, he admitted it a year ago when the vaccines were reserved only for the elderly and risk groups in Germany.
You see, that’s exactly how anti-vaxx misinformation works. Lack of context.
Well , he sure has taken all shots now….hasn’t he?
It’s a shame some of them at the protest are wearing face nappies. It kind of dilutes the message of protesting against the Government, but wearing the most visible of Government compliance tools to do so. NO MASK & TEST & VAX.
They may be covering their faces to avoid face recognition cameras, although they probably need dark glasses too.
“they probably need dark glasses too”,
plus not own/carry any digital devices (imsi catchers) & ensure not to have a unique gait etc at any illegal protests….
“& ensure not to have a unique gait”
Fremen sand walk?
I don’t agree. It means that the vaccinated are uniting with the unvaccinated to protest against the discriminatory COVID passport. It’s a positive development that we’ve also seen in France, Italy and Switzerland.
The war has already started. Undeclared for now. Events will work out exactly like in V for Vendetta.
it is a matter of time until we have the first fatalities among the demonstrators. And then it will erupt.
Join Telegram groups to keep your finger on the pulse.
I think the state willfully wants violence, so they can paint all anti-mRNA with the same brush and label them right wing domestic terrorists. They know they have no legal right to what goes in your body and certainly no moral one. So this to me seems like a way to push people over the edge, considering how peaceful we have all been so far they have to back us into a corner, fine us, arrest us and make us pay for our own prison time!? Wtf and when people push back we’ll be called the extremists.
Essentially the same as a bloke pushing you against a wall, slapping you across the face, taking your wallet and cuffing your hands and then cries out in horror like a wounded animal when you finally heatbutt the prick.
Government is and always will be the problem. Fuck all governments. Bigger they are, the worse it gets.
That seems to be pretty much the plan. It’s hard to explain educated and intelligent people promoting these policies and confabulations.
The bad social consequences are evident, so they seem to be thinking that, for whatever reason, it’s a price worth paying. I doubt very much they are doing it as a lesser evil for the sake of public health.
More likely they are drunk on power or already scared shitless about what will become of them if popular opinion swings back, and thus are betting on the minority becoming successfully and permanently suppressed while the supportive mob saves their own ass when push comes to shove? Idk if it has ever worked well in the past, but kicking the ball further down the road has been their entire covid policy from day one, so maybe that’s just it (in a tragic way).
UK Vaccines Minister Says Brits “Probably Will” Need Annual Boosters Against COVID-19
The UK Vaccines Minster, Maggie Throup has told Brits they “probably will” have to get a COVID booster jab every year. Throup said continuous shots would help protect from “unpredictable” future mutations.
What? Are you kidding me? These mutations can go on forever!
As one comment said under the article …
https://thecovidworld.com/uk-vaccines-minister-says-brits-probably-will-need-annual-boosters-against-covid-19/
Cracking comment.
My partner’s son and wife are here and I said to them at least vaccines aren’t mandatory yet in Finland, and as far as I know the ‘vaccinated’ haven’t been berating the ‘unvaxxed’. They told me that they have already been denied entry to a swimming pool for being ‘not fully vaccinated’ and she was stopped from going to her mothers-&-babies club for the same reason.
Finland’s domestic ‘Vaxx Pass’ came in mid-October and looks like it’s going to be extended.
These two told me they are worried at the way society here is developing.
Her youngest daughter’s husband, on the other hand, told me (in all seriousness) that for every 1 ‘vaccinated’ person in hospital with Covid, there are 133 ‘unvaccinated’ taking up hospital beds in intensive care and denying others, such as people with cancer and heart conditions, treatment.
There is a disease spreading across Europe and it isn’t ‘Covid’.
Did he mean 1:133 in Finland or the UK?
Right now in the UK jabbed are occupying hospital beds 2:1 with the un-jabbed according to HSA data.
And we now know that the government definition of ‘unjabbed’ is two jabs.
Just imagine how many are in hospital if you count from when they have been stabbed by the clot shots
And, of course, some of those ‘unjabbed’ will have had their second jab, but within the last 3 weeks, so they are classed as ‘unjabbed’!
This is going global now … protests in Thailand too …
Thai Protesters Call For An End To Mandatory Vaccination And Remember Those Killed By The COVID-19 Vaccine
A group calling itself ‘The Resistance THA Coalition Against Forced Vaccination’, staged a protest yesterday to commemorate those who have died as a result of the COVID-19 vaccines.This type of protest appears to be spreading across the globe.
The Thai protesters assembled in front of the Australian embassy in Bangkok and railed against compulsory vaccination while holding up placards of numerous Thai victims that died as a result of the vaccines. The group also objected to the Australian government’s policies of coercion and internment.
Some of the protestors then submitted a letter to the Australian ambassador, urging the Australian government to stop violating the rights of its citizens with lockdowns, camps, and vaccine coercion.
In the link is a report of the event by Nation Thailand TV:
The Thai TV presenters are wearing masks.
https://thecovidworld.com/thais-protest-for-vaccine-victims-at-australian-embassy/
So over 75 checks are going to be stopped which could lead to many conditions that could be helped, ignored. But we’ve been locked down to protect the elderly
Yep. Last year the NHS turned itself into a Covid-only facility. Now it’s just a Vaccine facility!
Credit to the Mail for covering the protests at all.
