Return of the Jedi: Rebel Alliance in House of Commons Prepares For Battle Over Vaccine Passports

by Toby Young
11 December 2021 10:04 AM

The Spectator has published a full list of those Conservative MPs who’ve pledged to vote against the ‘Plan B’ measures announced earlier this week. There are currently 60, but the number is growing by the day. If the Government is going to get the measures through the House of Commons, it will need Labour votes. Here is an extract:

When the Health Secretary Sajid Javid introduced the measures in the Commons this week, he was greeted with jeers and calls for him to “resign” from his own party members. There is now a growing backbench rebellion against the Government’s proposals, with several MPs publicly denouncing the winter restrictions, which they feel are a step too far in a society protected by what Boris Johnson once called the “huge wall of immunity” from vaccines.

The full list is below.

  1. Steve Baker
  2. Ben Bradley
  3. Brendan Clarke-Smith
  4. Graham Brady
  5. Philip Davies
  6. Richard Drax
  7. Simon Jupp

  15. William Wragg
  16. Geoffrey Clifton-Brown
  17. Iain Duncan Smith
  18. Christopher Chope
  19. Craig Tracey
  20. Robert Syms
  21. Anthony Mangnall
  22. Greg Clark

If you would like to write to any of these MPs to express your support for their stand, or write to your own MP and urge him/her to vote against the measures, you can find out the name of your MP and how to contact them here. Han Solo Steve Baker has asked opponents of vaccine passports to convey their gratitude to MPs for taking this stand.

🗽Please support your MP to vote no. Thank you 🙏

🤺Voting against the Govt is tough for MPs when Opposition support guarantees Govt victory.

You see, what everyone is forgetting in their outrage at what the imminent chancellor of the exchequer said, is that it is Labour policy not to distinguish between a man or a woman, so in the trans perception world everyone can be both. Equally, it doesn’t matter what the person, man or woman, looks like, if they say they are a child, then they damned well are children and it’s not for us to say otherwise and we should definitely not ask the child to prove their age via simple tests because that would violate their rights. So, the only thing he can be challenged on is whether the boats are full of babies, but hey, if they can’t even get the sums right on the finances of the country, we should forgive them for not knowing the difference between eighteen months and eighteen years old.

As a matter of interest, when did you last vote for a party and policies you wanted, rather than against one you didn’t?

2024 – but also in 2019. i probably first started reading party manifestos sometime in the 90s. Prior to that I had been brought up to always use my vote ‘correctly’ and that carried on until it occurred to me that it might actually matter how I voted.

The ‘his father before him’ bit doesn’t apply because my paternal grandfather died in British India in 1922.

Voted for Marxist-Socialism since 1945 so we can have cradle-to-grave welfare State, “our” NHS, no need for responsibility for ourselves, total nanny State-dependence, lots of free stuff paid for by others, particularly the rich.

That’s what we have done – and we now have what we deserve.

A perusal of the names of the accused in Crown Courts and Magistrates Courts is a rough starting point for statistics and gender studies.

So the “mostly peaceful protests” in Ballymena are misguided as they are targeting the “mostly female or infant” arrivals? It’s amazing how the /BBC/Guardian/CivilService/Political/ complex mangle the English language. (The original phrase was “mostly harmless”, IIRC.)

I suspect this is one clip of television nonsense that will never age nor lose its usefulness. Darren Jones has perhaps provided the biggest boost to the anti immigration lobby imaginable. This blatant lie will lift the veil for thousands.

Anti establishment, anti Labour Gold.

O/T+ish. What is a “jury of one’s peers”? Would a defence barrister object to a juror who has made a “problematic” post on social media, or is a Reform candidate? Would a judge uphold the objection? Who determines what constitutes a representative cross section of society? What would happen if society became “mostly racist”?

Most of them are women and children and those who are not are all brain surgeons ready to join the NHS so that they can express their gratitude to Britain.
They are all wonderful, decent people too. None of them come here to sponge off the taxpayers, disappear into the black economy or spend their time plotting to blow up people. No, not one of them!
We should all embrace them and provide them with everything they want, even if it bankrupts us. Because they are good and we are just racist bigots.

I read the other day that there are over a thousand Albanian criminals in our prisons, and that our rulers have imported tens of thousands of criminals. How wonderful that our wonderful rulers have imported such wonderful people!

Well, unless various people are consistently uploading videos of male migrants, going to the trouble of editing out any women and children first in order to engineer a narrative ( ‘conspiracy’ ) then I call BS on this because I’ve yet to see a single mythical woman or kid. And there’s people a lot more invested in this than me saying the same;

”Labour treasury minister Darren Jones is a LIAR

As a Migrant Hunter on this for over 5 years I can tell you over 90% of illegals crossing the channel on small-boats are FIGHTING-AGE-MEN!”

As Ralph ( he’s a historian, so he knows stuff ) mentions in the comments, Britain ruled India with just 200,000 people, so is the ever increasing population of Muslims within the UK really too small to be sniffed at? Especially when there’s countless traitors in high places and useful idiots on the ground to help them along?

”I have been speculating recently, about when the culture of Islam will become dominant in Great Britain. As a result, I have been bombarded by people telling me that a (supposedly) six million Muslims cannot dominate British society, culture, politics, and law.

But that is simply not true . There are more than a hundred Sharia courts across the country, which are technically the law of the land for the small communities in which they reside and operate. A true believer Muslim woman cannot go outside the local mosque’s Sharia Court, to seek secular British justice, because that simply would not be accepted within that community. So Sharia law is the law of the land within that community.

And here is another example – church bells in West Yorkshire are being silenced for the first time in hundreds of years, because of a small vocal minority. And this is accepted by Lefty councils and authorities, in order not to upset ‘community relations’. However, down in Birmingham we now have the Islamic call to prayer being broadcast, while the concerns of other communities are being brushed aside. Community relations only ever operate in one direction.”

I can see there is a difference between 90% and 74% but to claim male adults are less than 50% is a stretch. Especially from someone whose job as a Minister is to speak with authority (sic).

I wouldn’t be in a rush to assume the official figures are accurate, personally. As recent history ( and many notable dissident experts demonstrated ) has shown us, so-called ‘official figures’ and data can be easily fudged and manipulated in order to convey whatever message to the public is deemed necessary. Post-Scamdemic, I’ve got serious trust issues.

The Mainstream media (especially the BBC) shape public opinion in different ways. They will omit things that do not fit in with the Liberal progressive world view, or they might mention something but stick away in a corner or not attach much importance to it. Or often they will interview people in the street and use them to resent their world view so they cannot be accused of propaganda themselves. —–On this occasion even an audience on Question Time were outraged and roared in disgust at this morons claim that most people in small boats were babies children and women. What planet does this half wit live on and no wonder this country is turning into a cesspit when people like this are anywhere near government.

Indeed. And here is another way, which is probably just confirming what we already knew, but still..It’s just one great big PsyOp;

”I’ve obtained internal government documents via a Freedom of Information request that reveal a coordinated effort by the UK Government to influence the content of television programming, including fictional storylines.

The documents show direct collaboration between the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and broadcasters like ITV, Channel 4, and the BBC.

Officials discussed embedding government messaging into soap operas and entertainment shows, not just on COVID and vaccines, but also climate change, mental health, extremism, and “social cohesion.”

Broadcasters were encouraged to tailor narratives for “hard-to-reach” audiences, including ethnic minorities, young people, and working-class viewers.

Some programmes were rebranded entirely to align with government campaigns. Others included plotlines shaped by civil servants.

These documents have never been seen publicly until now.”

Pathological liars (aka Labour): “Pathological lying, also known as pseudologia fantastica, is a chronic behavior characterized by the habitual or compulsive tendency to lie. It involves a pervasive pattern of intentionally making false statements with the aim to deceive others, sometimes for no clear or apparent reason, and even if the truth would be beneficial to the liar. People who engage in pathological lying often report being unaware of the motivations for their lies. In psychology and psychiatry, there is an ongoing debate about whether pathological lying should be classified as a distinct disorder or viewed as a symptom of other underlying conditions.”

We now have a stabilised economy, a recently discovered black hole filled in, and economic performance is doing so well, thanks to Labour’s brilliant policies, that we have £hundreds of billion to throw at this and that. Our energy bills will decrease any moment now, and thousands and thousands of green jobs are being created as we lead the World into the sunlit uplands of a totally decarbonised economy.
