Is this ‘Plan B’? The new restrictions the Prime Minister announced at the Downing Street press conference sounded like a much-haggled-over compromise, with the details still being hammered out minutes before.
- The mandatory face mask policy will be extended from schools, shops, public transport and beauty parlous to theatres and cinemas – but not to pubs, bars or restaurants.
- Vaccine passports will be introduced for nightclubs and unseated indoor venues with more than 500 people, but not pubs, bars or restaurants – or No 10 Downing Street, presumably.
- Vaccine passports will be introduced for unseated outdoor venues with more than 4,000, and any outdoor venue, whether seated or unseated, with more than 10,000 people. (So some but not all football stadiums?)
- If you haven’t been double-jabbed, a negative lateral flow test result will enable you to access those venues that require a vaccine passport.
- Work from home – if you can.
If a camel is a horse designed by a committee, this isn’t ‘Plan B’ so much as ‘Plan C for Camel’.
It goes without saying that there is no evidence these measures will suppress infection of any Covid virus, let alone omicron. After all, vaccine passports in Scotland have had zero effect, as confirmed in the Scottish Government’s recent 70-page report.
Being double-jabbed only marginally reduces your susceptibility to infection from Delta at best, and probably doesn’t reduce it at all, and self-administered lateral flow test are notoriously unreliable and likely to produce more false negatives than false positives. So insisting that people produce evidence that they’ve been vaccinated or have tested negative before admitting them to (checks notes) nightclubs, unseated indoor venues with more than 500 people in them, unseated outdoor venues with more than 4,000 people and all outdoor venues with more than 10,000 is unlikely to have any impact on infection. Particularly when you factor in that the vaccines aren’t designed to protect people against the omicron variant.

Plan B for bollocks!!
So they’ve brought in Plan-B on absolutely zero evidence, only a (future uncertain) ‘risk’ that something ‘might’ happen with the NHS. Perhaps Javid & Johnson could instead prepare the NHS rather than penalise the people.
There’s a German proverb das Eisen schmieden, solange es heiß ist, English steel has to be forged while it’s hot. Whitty & gang got Boris Johnson into reintroducing mandatory masks with one of their usual Saturday afternoon surprise attacks. They have to follow up quickly to get as many restrictions reintroduced as they can while their most-recent repetition of everything they’ve been mispredicting over and over again for months on end still sounds fresh.
It’s no coincidence that rat & rerat Neal F went onto the air with calling for full lockdown yesterday as that’s were the journey is supposed to go, regardless of the general situation.
A bit late for this years Proms, maybe next year we can all sing:
“Rule Britannia, Britannia rules its slaves,
And Britons never, never, never,
Shall be saved”
Run Britannia, run from China’s mighty ire
Xi your president believes the situation’s dire
And without the power of their evil empire
All the Brits can do is hang themselves with wire
—-
Absolutely no one saw that coming, with so much soft power (cold fire, anyone?) all around!
It is pretty obvious that the leading image in this story has been photoshopped, with a little investigation I have managed to uncover the original:
“Prime Minister Unveils Plan B – Sort Of”
“Sort Of” my arse!
If you believe in Omicron, you may as well believe in Father Christmas. All made up by this stinking rotten Government as an excuse to why the vaccine doesn’t work.
A ‘variant’ just before Christmas was predicted many weeks ago. Of course it’s all made-up stuff. The really big question is why people are laying down and taking all this abuse. Everyone must know by now that Boris and chums are laughing in your faces.
Amazing to think they’ve got away with mucking up a second Christmas. You have to hand it to SAGE and their psychological abuse, they really know how to work it.
But the vaccine does work, it gives you ADE which you then designate Omicron or anything else you like, and with a ‘rinse and repeat’ application it becomes a permanent ‘get out of jail free card’ for all those who might otherwise be implicated in the original perfidy.
RESULT!!
Vaccinating in individual who has had Covid19 or high antibodies is not only muddled science it is potentially harmful. Adverse affects of vaccine 3rd dose are frequent but underreported.When Boris, backed up by Bill and Ben his vaccine men extol the vaccine which is so effective it needs constant “booster”. We need to wake up – the Government view of science and medicine is not universal but to speak against it is to risk alienation and worse job loss.
This is not saving us – mandatory vaccination is one where you can be given a treatment you don’t want and may not need but yet some have become very Ill and some died from.
“We need to wake up”
Only the other day I read on here that “80% of passengers on the Tube were without face masks and they know it’s all over.”
I thought people had woken up ???
Don’t forget “the house of cards is collapsing” – already 6 months old, that one. I expect it will get wheeled out again.
So, what’s the News? Allegra moves to a new job, Vaxx Passes are to be introduced to England, and everyone should poison themselves ‘to protect others/the NHS’. I think we all knew this was coming. Not that I approve, but we did suspect it was going to go down this path, didn’t we? Looks like every European country has brought in Vaxx Passes. In Finland ‘the unvaccinated’ are already being denied entry into some places.
Last month I was in France (digital passes, checked with a scanner as you entered a buildng, the pass set up by scanning the 2nd dose NHS England barcode).
Last night I went to a cinema in Wales (no. not that one). In Wales we have the NHS England 30-day pass, but only as a pdf file, not as an app. You can download the pdf to your phone, but it will still expire after 30 days, before which time you need to download a new one.We entered the cinema and were met by someone with a lanyard who wanted to look at vaccine passes. I tried the French one first, but that was no good as he did not have a scanner, so I had to produce the English pdf. All he wanted to see was a valid expiry date as he had no means of reading the QR code.
Covid passes in the UK are clearly only designed to restrict enjoyment.
Oh dear God accidental tuned into the today programme just now to hear some silly woman from the Labour party saying the plan didn’t go far enough!! God Helps us if that mob of Covid frightened nit witts get into power
“C is for”…? The not-long-to -be Prime Minister is using smoke & mirrors to try to deflect attention away from “Partygate”. Always happy to throw his adoring public under a bus.
Toby, you are far too generous to your old mate Boris. Omni shambles, no. Sinister, even evil.
Look at history to see how evil dictators have abused their power, scapegoated groups and persecuted them to maintain their own power.
Boris is now clearly on that road.
Furthermore, his comments about mandatory vaccinated are horrendous.
Still another fine mess though. And a shambles.
I wonder if he’ll still watch QPR? Really we need people who are “vaccinated” and tested to refuse to participate in this, so it’s a shame if holdouts give in.
I agree. Julia Hartley Brewer makes a good stand on this I think. I will encourage anyone I know never to enter anywhere asking for vaccine proof.
I’m sure it’s been said already – but what a total shit show.
I still can’t beleive that I actually heard a British Prime Minister talk about the possibility of mandatory vaccinations – I mean Germany and Austria there was no surprise there for me when you look at their past, Italy and Spain too … because although these country’s claim to have turned a corner where liberal democracy is concerned you always got the feeling that their fascistic tendencies were always there lurking just beneath the surface once again just waiting to be triggered – but to hear a British Prime Minister speaking plainly about the future possibility of compulsory vaccinations like some tinpot tyrant in some far-flung dictatorship – its absolutely incredible.
So much for my optimism. I can only hope the saner voices will persuade these tyrants to hold back from this. Mandatory “vaccination” would be a declaration of war.
They declared war on us at the first lockdown.
The reality is that there are three groups of refuseniks:
Young ethnic people. Young black guys aren’t going to pay the fines, and I can’t see the government throwing them all in prison. They have nothing to lose apart from their health and dignity and they know it. If the government goes after these people they have a war on their hands. Older marginalised groups. Again mainly ethnic. These are the people that are “filling up the hospitals” (/s). They can’t pay the fines and again there isn’t much point in throwing them in jail. Common sense working class people. Middle class types that comment on Daily Sceptic. The only group here that could benefit from vaccination (accepting for the sake of argument that the vaccines reduce risk of hospitalisation, which I’m willing to believe to an extent) is the second group.
Group 3 and especially 4 have the most to lose. I’m in group 4 and I work in finance, so if I want to keep my career I’ll need to pay any fines. Even then it might be tough to keep my job, as even if it is kept above board, as it were, my company aren’t likely… Read more »
He has Turkish ancestry, his father is a europhile, his mother American and Johnson was born in New York, there is very little ‘English’ about him.
Apparently more footage of these government Christmas parties has emerged ….

From 1st January to 8th December this year there has been a 278% increase in worldwide heart attack deaths among soccer players.
What all these soccer players had in common is that shortly prior to their deaths they all had been inoculated with a SARS-CoV-2 “vaccination”.
I use the term “inoculated,” but what I actually mean is that these players had been inoculated against having a healthy immune system and a fit-for-purpose cardiovascular system.
In the eleven-year period from 2009 to 2020 the average rate of death for male players due to cardiovascular issues during football matches was 7.9 people.
An increase in deaths like this among very healthy and fit young people in correlation with being vaccinated? Masks are very much a peripheral issue in regards to the global-wide crimes that have been committed against humanity.
Can you prove all this for a fact? If so, you should maybe get on some of those football forums (if you haven’t already), there’s a lot of people who point blank refuse to believe it?
Here’s a link to an article about these deaths: https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/08/278-percent-increase-in-heart-attack-deaths-among-soccer-players/
Great link thanks
Interesting, but what will happen is these people will look up what a “fact checker” says about it and decide they can ignore it.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”
Keep holding the line.
I know it’s anecdotal but out of 10 friends of mine who were sadly double jabbed although quite complicated reluctantly ,only one wants the booster now thankfully
Keep dignity, supply good articles, engage -the tide is slowly and increasingly turning that’s why they are so desperate.
Johnson seems desperate, not enough jabbed for the bonus possibly
“When force threatens, talk’s no good any more” (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance).
On two occasions recently, while on the bus without a face-nappy, another passenger has boarded also without a face-nappy and I have engaged in conversation with them. One was about 30-40, the other retired.
It was a small demonstration to all the other passengers that there IS another point of view. I pointed out that I have been on many demonstrations and that one I attended in June had 200,000 participants, by my estimate; other estimates were much higher. Naturally they had not heard of it. I rounded this off by saying that it was reported on Russia Today. The irony was not lost on them.
Little conversations like this, often to people who have not heard of sites like this, can, I think, really help.
It will be interesting to see how a vaccine passport will work at Millwall
They stopped a section of their support going years ago with their members scheme (I think it was).
I dare say it will work well enough. Though funnily enough I know a Millwall supporter who despises all this.
Does anyone have any realistic proposals how as a society we may effectively rise and prevent this coup?
Burning down 5G masts doesn’t seem quite so wacky now….
Might get us branded terrorists though, remember what happened on the pretext of Insulate Britain. A rock and a hard place.
Don’t be fooled by these serial 2mm encroachments.
Look and you’ll find you’ve retreated by a mile.
We are now officially in open war.
I’m starting to think this Christmas party / restrictions BS might actually be a cover for whatever is going on in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. This is in/on the news but they are not actually telling us anything about it.
I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I’ve been thinking that for months, were Epstein & Maxwell loose threads, did they have some dirt on the fuckers perpetrating this shit show, & they had to be taken out first, I have no idea, no theories just a BS radar, it all smells really suspicious.
She is very much part of all this.

The ‘Pandemic Treaty’ and the legitimisation of mandates
On Monday world nations gathered to thrash out terms for a proposed ‘Pandemic Preparedness Treaty’ which seeks to set out how to handle the “next pandemic” and futher bolster the power of the WHO.
Tune in to find out why this treaty and the resultant centralisation of power risks legitmising (and even legalising) the authoritarian and draconian measures utilised in response to Covid-19.

How do they think this ends? Even if they succeed in getting everyone vacced (they won’t) what then? Millions of people jabbed against their will, filled with resentment, disenfranchised- the whole social contract torn up and shat on. A massive, angry, hate-filled population hungry for blood. Most people I know who are double jabbed are nearly as angry as me about this. We are on the brink of societal breakdown and war. And that is not hyperbole.
It’s not about the virus. That’s just the vehicle to ultimately control us via the social credit system, already operating in China. That’s why nothing makes sense.
The reason why nothing make sense is still that nothing make sense. Just to repeat this every once in a while.
That’s what I mean – but how do you have social control over a population that hate you and despise the society you have created? How does that end? How does it ever end? It works in China because it was ever thus there. I don’t see how it can work in the west in anything other than the very short term. We are heading for a societal meltdown that will be uncontrollable and bloody. I don’t think they get that.
You can see this, but many people still cannot.
The many millions already jabbed and with vaccine passports have fell into the trap. The global elite control the police, army, judiciary, etc – all of whom will comply with enforcement for fear of repercussions. They have divided society which makes it much easier. This video explains the way ahead. We have to find a way to unite and rise up but first, more people need to realise its not about the virus. https://odysee.com/@DeleteTheElite:2/the-vaccine-passport-trojan-horse:b
People eventually rebel against tyranny but it can take a human lifetime. The Russian Revolution lasted 74 years, Communist China so far has lasted 72. Most of Eastern Europe I think had 46 years of tyranny, 1945-91.
I don’t usually subscribe to the most far flung theories banded around on here. But, as the parent of two under 25 lads I’m so glad I encouraged critical thinking & knowledge of weapons, self defense and self sufficiency. Our future may depend on their generation. My boys have always got a plan for the zombie apocalypse…they just didn’t expect masked up Auntie Karen or their boss at work to be the zombie.
Agreed that if they go for injecting millions of people without our consent – which in a proportion of cases will mean sledgehammering through doors, tooled-up goons holding the rebels down, and people getting killed – then they will indeed get war.
In this country they will use fines (as a humane alternative to mandatory vax)
People (morons) will accept this as a concession.
And some (me for example) will refuse to pay any such fine.
Me too – I’ve already made peace with the fact that they will try to jail me and with what I will have to do as a result.
Yep! I concur, this is the hill I fight back on.
me too
Some people are still hypnotised and compliant. Some still do believe that the unvaxxed are the threat. My erstwhile friends who are vaxxed have become rather unpleasant because they know I am not vaxxed. This has intensified in the last weeks.
The only consolation is that the vaxxed are running the greater risk, tho they do not realise it yet. They believe that by stigmatising the unvaxxed they will be safe.
I was looking into prion type diseases which could have been coded into the spike genome – they will not show up for a few years. But they could be part of the project.

I believe their target date, that is ultimate rarget date is 2030, with 2024 / 2025 as an interim.
Thing is They’re psychopaths, so they don’t care or think about how others will react in any case they’ve been preparing for decades, militarization of police, Draconian anti-terrorism laws, ever intensive surveillance, none of this shit is the brain fart of politicians it comes straight from the deep state, who’s directing them ?
I don’t know, nobody confides in me, but it’s obvious nothing happens without those agencies knowledge & involvement.
I agree, why use a pretty useless virus/vaccine combo to do this when they could have used something much more nasty (airborne Ebola, jab me now oh wise and bountiful government), or just incentivise an ID? A lot of people would be pro-ID if sold on easier travel (initially anyway), keeping NHS for citizens not foreign nationals, identifying proceeds of crime etc. I don’t understand why they are taking such a hard route?
I’m sure this is the first time I’ve seen a post from you where you refer to the fat twat as Prime Minister throughout, and not Boris.
Are the eyes starting to open, Toby? Are you staring to wake up, Toby?
Still think it’s all cock up, Toby? Calling it an ‘omnishambles’ suggests you still do.
Are you going to jab your kids so they can still go and see QPR, Toby?
Sorry for the ad-hom, but I’m well pissed off.
I think we’re all pissed off.Still going to call it a shambles though (among other things)!
Peking Piffle still not ruling out mandatory “vaccination” either. And if he does go, chances are we’ll end up with something as bad or worse.
To drag them out of power means abolition of the two party democratic system, & certainly no proportional representation either, you just end up with perpetual hideous liberal leftist coalition.
One man, one vote for an MP who has no party affiliation & represents his community. I gave up having any voting expectations, but last time I voted freedom alliance just out of principle.
Nigel Farage wanted to change the electoral system – and look how they broke the rules to prevent him getting into parliament. Change won’t be easy.
There will be no fixes by the constitutional route.
Luckily constitutions are “dead”.
Interesting report from Germany.
I live in Germany and have been tempted to demonstrate since summer 2020, but there has always been police brutality which frightened me. Plus you need official permission to demonstrate, which was denied due to the pandemic. The law courts generally also denied most appeals against banned protests. There are instances of judges who made sensible rulings and then they suddenly get their chambers searched by the police or were otherwise intimidated. Even the highest court (stacked with political appointees) just ruled that everything the government did last year was fine. People are now saying the Constitution is dead.
Doctors, lawyers, politicians, scientists, public personalities who put their head above the parapet in the last 1.5 years were very effectively targeted and intimidated. Some have left the country.
There are now significant protests in Sachsen and Thueringen (former DDR) and the numbers of people going to hundreds of smaller unauthorized marches (or walks) appear to be more than the police can squash. Austria also has large well organized protests that are not backing down. This gives me hope.
Dirty government scumbags. Dirty government filth. SCUM. (And the “opposition” too!)
Winston Churchill my arse. England has fallen.
In all seriousness I think that we need to think about the establishment of some kind of ‘homeland’ for those of us who don’t want to participate in the future that seems to be panning out in the West.
I wish, but that’s not going to be allowed, they intend not to leave an inch of space ungoverned by them.
What happened with Sealand? There must be bigger places that could be taken. (Be great if Sealand were on our side!)
I think everything’s been said by others so I’ll leave you with this inspirational anthem of the resistance movement – “We say no”. Please support the young lad by sharing.

Nice one, ta
Can someone point me in the direction of the report following the public consultation on vaccine passports ? We all commented. So where is the published outcome ?
don’t know if you mean this – after we all signed the petition?
The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (a group of MPs who look into issues relating to the UK constitution and civil service) has published a report which calls for the Government to scrap any plans to introduce domestic Covid-status certification, also known as Covid passports.
The Government has suggested that such a system, based on proof of vaccination or a negative test result, could help manage the disease in future, allowing the economy to reopen and social restrictions to be lifted. It is currently undertaking a review into whether (and how) such a system could be introduced.
However, the MPs on the Committee said the Government had so far failed to make the scientific case in favour of the system, and raised concerns that such a system could “disproportionately discriminate” against people on the basis of their race, religion, age or socio-economic background. They concluded plans for Covid passports were “unnecessary” and “unjustified”.

The problem with this is it doesn’t matter. The UK is governed by an informal Con/Lab coalition which will pass anything the cabinet wants. The cabinet is led by Boris Johnson. And Boris Johnson is – in turn – governed by WHO scare stories so-called government advisors keep telling him. The only body part of this guy which reportedly sometimes has the structural consistency of a spine is certainly not his backbone. And – whoosh! – anything else goes out of the window.
Meanwhile, the Boris himself can happily fuck around and celebrate.
It’s just human lard that keeps him upright.
Thank you. But I don’t think these are what I am thinking off. The idea was criticised in the summer. And then they strangely went back to the public to seek more views. I think this public survey ended sometime early October. Nothing heard since.
I’ve just had the same thoughts.
apologies for statement of the bleeding obvious but we clearly have a govt that is being threatened/blackmailed. they were obviously told to tighten restrictions, and (probably reluctantly) agreed to reintroduce masks; “not good enough – we’ll release the xmas party story, and if you don’t introduce tighter restrictions, we’ll release XYZ”…
question is why no fight back? not so long ago, that would have seen a nation declaring war…
Totally. Unfortunately our armed forces have been captured by the woke/common purpose. I would say that the current situation warrants a trident launch in the direction of Billy Goats.
I strongly suspect the authorities are panicking because, contrary to their explanations, their real concern is that omicron is so contagious and so mild that there’s a real danger it could finish off the pandemic in a matter of a few weeks.
Which would be disastrous for their plans to use the pandemic to shepherd in the next phase of their Great Reset, which is probably nowhere near ready yet. And disastrous for their plans to vaccinate Uncle Tom Cobley and all.
They do indeed want to slow Omicron down – but so that the “pandemic” lasts much longer.
But as we know, all their measures to “keep people safe” do fuck-all even when most people comply (which won’t happen this time), so if it’s going to spread fast, then it will do anyway.
