Find out how to contact your MP here, and even if your local MP was not part of the Rebel Alliance, we encourage our readers to write to any parliamentarians who were to thank them for their vote.

Update: Sir Desmond Swayne has confirmed he voted against the measures, taking the total to 127 MPs and 100 Conservatives. He was initially put down as an abstention owing to an “error in the voting lists”. Pauline Latham was also initially omitted, while Luke Evans was included though he also voted for the measure so effectively abstained.

Libdem MPs largely voted against the tyranny on Tuesday. The people voted for Libdems on Thursday. Ergo, the People are against the tyranny.
Got it, politicians?

How do we do this when you can only contact your own MP? I’ve always had a reply that basically says “sod off” when it’s not your MP.

My absolute SCROTE of an MP Alex Cuntingham voted for the National ID card. On four occasions I have asked him to explain to me how it helps when vaccinated people can still pass on the virus too. He has ignored the question every time and gone and voted for this ongoing move to Communism. What a prize cunt.

I’d like to know who were the ones who didn’t vote, either because they didn’t take part, or because they formally abstained. Does anyone know where that information can be found, please?

If they think that an abstention lets them off the hook, it doesn’t. It just shows how cowardly they are.

The list of MPs doesn’t include my own MP Rachael Maskell. I’ve been emailing her and even spoke to her over the phone so for all you cynics contact your MP and politely tell them how you feel. As an nhs worker I pointed out that I test myself to not only avoid infecting my patients but also my family. I also pointed out that discriminating against unvaccinated people is like discriminating against gays during the AIDS pandemic. At that time if you was gay people assumed you were carrying the AIDS virus and as a consequence you were discriminated against. I would ask everyone who sees or hears about people making public statements that unvaccinated people are dangerous to report them to the police for inciting hatred and violence. We all breathe the same air and therefore all equally at risk of catching covid having a vaccine is no guarantee and today’s Sceptic clearly shows the vaccines were never designed to prevent transmission.

Is it not the case that Desmond Swayne did in fact vote against? According to Sky News here he did vote against but there was an error in the parliamentary recording. If true, the list above should be updated.

The cynic in me thinks that the powers that be know that the Omigodicon variant poses little threat and in the knowledge of that they will use this to justify the ‘apparent efficacy’ of the new restrictions. They will then use this ‘apparent success’ to retro-justify the previous restrictions. In other words it’s a ‘get out of jail’ card for them.

They have no intention of ending the ‘pandemic’, irrespective of whatever restrictions they impose. There will be countless variants of concern to fall back on.
Savage Jabbit more or less confirmed this last evening, when talking about getting the ‘boosters into arms’:

“Just as we embark on this huge logistical endeavour in the short term, we are also looking at the long term. We have already signed contracts to buy a total of 114 million extra doses of future-proof vaccines that will help our country’s vaccination programme over the next two years. The deals we have struck will give us the earliest access to modified vaccines to combat omicron and future variants of concern should we need them.”

TPTB were desperate to bring in vaxxine passports which was the whole purpose of this covid farce in the first place. Well there are here now – they have won.

It’s a start. I reckon there are about 20% – 30% on our side, maybe as per the vote?
Try to convert a sheep a day.
Stick up posters in prominent places, school notice boards, the old phone boxes, bus shelters etc.
We are millions, but not organised – yet.
We must, even as individuals do something, no matter how small. This just might coalesce into something like a Mussolini moment and then….

The tragedy is that a majority of Tory MPs voted for it, so even when Fattaturk is defenestrated, they will select a replacement from within their own fetid Common Purpose ranks.

They are all members of the Tory party and complicit in the conspiracy to eradicate the ancient nation once called Britain.
Tory HQ had agreed with their fellow conspirators in the other parties with MPs in the Commons, that the treason would be accomplished with their support, which was never in doubt, while lots of Tory MPs could ‘rebel’, to persuade the male, female and other blue rinse Tory voters that Olde England really is safe in their hands.
It was a set-up from the start. If any MP really did believe the Covid was a scam they’d have resigned their seat and allowed the scam to be fairly aired in public debate. But none of them will, because they are all Tories, and shafting Britain is what Tories do.

This is how the ‘vaccine passport’ (Safepass) works in Cyprus to shut out the unvaccinated from society. This is the Pandora’s box that was opened by the vote last night as I find it hard to believe that the same restrictions won’t end up being put in place in the UK.

https://cyprus-mail.com/2021/12/15/coronavirus-adjustments-being-made-to-covscan-to-reflect-new-rules/

How Cyprus has gone from an island paradise to a police state in under 2 years offers a chilling foretaste of things to come for our own country.

I noted last week that Omicron represented 20% of all covid infections.

I also noted the first death ‘with’ the Omicron variant.

Which means that by the time Omicron is 100% of covid infections there will be five deaths ‘with’ Omicron.

This must be followed by the required, that whilst every death is of course a tragedy, it seems a bit of a result really.

Vaccine passports over this just seems a tad overreactive. No?

As I am sure everyone on here knows, it is impossible to overstate the damage that this House of Commons has done to this country. They have:

Trampled upon EVERYTHING that this country has ever stood for Completely destroyed this country’s moral authority. How can ANY politician of this country berate tyrannical regimes again? In less than two years they have transformed this country into a fascist dictatorship Completely ruined the principle, enshrined in the Ten Commandments that everything is lawful except that which is specifically forbidden. We must NOT be obliged to ask any petty official or jobsworth whether we can do something, but that what this Satanic House of Commons has done. Totally wrecked our economy. How can anyone start or pursue a business knowing that it might be destroyed at the whim of a civil servant? Totally destroyed our way of life. What business is it of the State as to what I do or where I go? There is much more that this Government is guilty of and I hope to see all the criminals (excluding 126 who voted against the evil and Satanic ‘Vaccine Passports) who have done this put on trial.

I’ve just written my 3rd email to my utterly predictable and pathetic MP, Craig William’s, Montgomeryshire.
He hasn’t got a single thought of his own and, I’m assuming, is of rather low intelligence. Looks for an easy time (and re-selection) by doing whatever his Whip says. Pathetic human being.

Never in human history has every government in every country agreed on a single event.

Yet here we are, with certain exceptions (now joining the thin covid line) agreeing that the way out the ‘pandemic’ is to socially distance, mask up, lockdown, vaccinate, and passport.

I mean, there’s not even a question over six feet!

No one is saying it should be five feet, or seven feet, the whole world, even the most genuinely despotic regimes agree – six feet.

If that doesn’t make you wonder just what the hell’s going on, you surely are an ostrich.

It is always good to see who is prepared to stand up and be counted. But people like Steve Baker should have been doing this from the beginning. Graham Brady stood by Theresa May long after he should have done and Andrea Leadsom should have used her position in front line politics when it counted.

All these politicians knew their jobs were safe and this ‘rebellion’ would do them no harm. My faith in true Principled Politicians went out the window ling ago. I think these MPs are standing now because they are astute enough to see the carnage coming down the road. They don’t give a fig about the citizens who pay their wages.

Generally, I would agree with you but I think it is worthwhile remembering:
There is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth than ninety-nine who do not need to repent. Luke 15:7
When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Ezekiel 18:27.

Good question and I would say, yes, necessarily so. ‘How many times shall I forgive my neighbour? Seven times? Not seven times but seventy times seven. In other words every time, not 490 and then one doesn’t on the 491st.
Somewhere in Corinthians, there is the statement, ‘For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’. It is virtually impossible to render the full meaning in English because Greek makes a distinction between the Present Imperative and the Aorist Imperative. The present imperative (used in that quotation) has the implication of a repeated action; the aorist imperative is used for a one-off. So the implication here is that we continually fall short of the glory of God.

i know it’s fashionable to mock the Lib Dems but throughout this crisis they, as much as anyone, have voted against measures and restrictions. As have the DUP for whom I now have enormous respect. (And the Green, Ms Lucas)

They deserve, I think, at least as much praise and recognition as the “rebels” who have only just joined the ranks.

mRNA vaccinated people worldwide are products, patented goods, according to US law, “no longer human”.Esme Coetzee 10 Dec 2021 at 4:55 PM #63403 GMO HUMANS https://ambassadorlove.wordpress.com/2021/12/08/covid-19-patent-horrors/ All the Covid-19 “vaccine” patents mention gene deletion. All the patents except one, mention “complimentary DNA” (cDNA). cDNA is a chimeric mRNA cocktail that’s being coded into Human cells using artificial genetic sequences in cross-species genomics. According to the US Supreme Court ruling in 2013, altering Humans with cDNA makes them patent eligible. The court documents show that cDNA is made using modified bacterium and Supreme Court judges ruled it patent eligible. This means that a plant, animal or Human, could be patented and owned if first genetically modified with cDNA. Mark Steele summarized it perfectly by stating: In the US, the Supreme Court has ruled that vaccinated people worldwide are products, patented goods, according to US law, no longer human. Through a modified DNA or RNA vaccination, “the mRNA vaccination”, the person ceases to be human and becomes the OWNER of the holder of the modified GEN vaccination patent, because they have their own genome and are no longer “human” (without natural people), but “trans-human”, so a category that does not exist in Human… Read more »

To be fair to labour, they did themselves out a job years ago. They were so successful at helping to lift the working man from poverty that they are now have no voter base.

That’s why they have gone down the identity politics route.

Now is probably the best moment to flush Johnson out of No. 10, but the Tories must be made to understand they need to dump the fascist social credit ID passport along with Bojo. A Liberal victory in Paterson’s old seat, overturning a massive blue majority, is the best way to send this message. Yes, Bojo must go, obviously, but he cannot be replaced with an even more anti-British globalist. It must be from the right end of the Tory party, not the latrine end where Bojo lives.

The story is being dominated by the one! quarter of Tories who know right from wrong. It’s not enough. The Liberals voted NO across the party. Perhaps they’ll win North Shropshire after all. And would that be a bad thing, given what a bunch of freedom-hating traitors the Tories have become under Bojo the Dancing Clown?

As the Overton window moves ever closer to totalitarianism, this lifelong conservative looks at this result and sees only 27% of the Tory party opposes fascist medical passports to gain entry into society, and is disgusted.

Perhaps conservatives should start voting for the Liberals, as the only party who opposed this properly, until Bojo is replaced?
