Below is a list of five petitions, which are available to sign at petition.parliament.uk, that relate to repealing Government lockdown measures and vaccine mandates, as well as repeal the state’s political power to enact these restrictions. A link is provided next to the petition’s title that will take you directly to the appropriate page and URL link. If a petition reaches 100,000 signatures, it must be considered for a debate in Parliament – so get signing!
Prohibit employers from requiring staff to be vaccinated against Covid (here)
Make it illegal for any employer to mandate vaccination for its employees. This should apply to all public sector (including the NHS, armed forces, care workers), third sector and all private sector.
Do not make vaccination against Covid mandatory (here)
Do not under any circumstances make vaccination against Covid a requirement for the public. To coerce in the form of fines or otherwise, as is being proposed in Austria, would be a grotesque violation of bodily autonomy.
Repeal all ‘Plan B’ Covid measures (here)
The Government must immediately repeal existing ‘Plan B’ measures, and not introduce any additional measures. This means repeal all mask mandates, not making proof of vaccination (or negative test result) a requirement for any venues, and not requiring people to work from home.
Do not require a Covid passport for access to any services, jobs or events (here)
Covid Passports are divisive, discriminatory and wrong. The Government should not implement them for any domestic purpose. It is divisive and discriminatory to deny individuals access to general services, businesses or jobs which these passports could be used to do.
Referendum in the United Kingdom to abolish the Coronavirus Act (here)
The Government as a matter of urgency, to bring to Parliament for approval, legislation to have a referendum on the above subject within a maximum of six months.

Referendum in the United Kingdom to abolish the Coronavirus Act
The Coronavirus Act leverages clauses in the 1984 Public Health Act that allow a state of emergency to be declared on ocintinued, apparently forever, as long as there is a ‘significant and imminent’ threat as assessed every 4(?) weeks.
Abolishing the 2020 Act serves no purpose other than as a smokescreen. It is the equivalent of the punishment meted out to Ferguson for his boinkety-boinkety fauxpass – being kicked off SAGE whilst letting him retain membership of NERVTAG, the group that actually provides ‘data’/’answers’ to questions asked by SAGE.
It is bad form to reply to one’s own post, but I have responded to first 4 petitions. The votes stand at above 128K, 15k, 4k, and 6k.
I was a little surprised at the disproportionate votes for the first in relation to the rest.
Yes to the first four, but I won’t sign the one for a referendum. This just legitimizes tyranny of the masses (who are clearly influenced by propaganda). We have fundamental civil liberties (or human rights) precisely to protect against this; since Parliament has just ignored these basic laws, I think they have forfeited their legitimacy and we cannot look to it for remedy.
Not sure these petitions do much good but I have signed them all. At least it will annoy my pro lockdown MP as he will have to write to me on each issue individually.
Done. Thankyou DS.
Isn’t petitioning parliament the adult equivalent of writing letters to Santa? They will do what their paymasters have told them to do until the people have had enough of them.
Surely a better petition would be for all politicians, journalists and celebrities to not be paid any salary well ever any form of restrictions remain in place.
Workers got 85% (if they were lucky, 0% otherwise). MPs got 100% + 50% ‘expenses’ + another 50%(?) from lobbying opportunities.
A good alternative to referendums is to have temporary single issue parliaments, possibly temporary ones in some cases, e.g. to deal with Brexit, but with a separate executive and a strong constitution. I expect we’d end up with massively right wing policy on immigration combined with left wing policy on health care.
The problem (or phenomenon) that the dominant culture in western Europa (and in the USA, fwiw) has (slow) ethnic suicide through mass use of chemical contracpetion as side effect can’t be solved by changing immigration laws. No matter what immigration law says, these people will be coming, relatively peacefully today, possibly with armed force tomorrow and they will become dominant here (unless falling prey to the same cultural degeneration, that is).
In the 19th century, there was mass emigration from an relatively overpopulated Europe to other continents, today, we have mass immigration to a relatively underpopulated one. That’s something one might regret (I certainly do) but it’s not going to change unless some post-babyboomer generation switches back to having children again.
All signed except the last one. Why do we need a referendum? The Government has spent 2 years terrifying the public, that’s quite enough propaganda thank you.
That’s known as reality denial.
I think I am going to start a petition… To resurrect the ancient Kingdom of Wessex, and whereby true Britons can live a life in peace and without being subjected to the whims of the Westminster/Big Pharma criminal cartel.
Where is King Alfred?
I’d support that. 🙂 Maybe also add Essex, Sussex and Middlesex. This would amount to partitioning Greater London into four sovereign Saxon kingdoms (west, east, south and ‘middle’ Saxons) which would greatly reduce the abilty of the London chattering classes to inflict arbitraty damage on “faraway countries we know little of” (like Berkshire or – heaven forbid – Yorkshire. That’s next to the North Pole and inhabited by savages dressing themselves in furs, right?)
NB: That’s supposed to be a joke. Yorkshire is already a distant, strange country where strange people live for the inhabitants of the town I’m living in.
A post here for those who made fun of me and others saying that the marches and petitions won’t change our leaders’ minds. (Some bloke saying ‘what colour is your sky?’, another person saying something about trying to change the mind of ‘my abuser’ FFS!) You are missing the point. OF COURSE they won’t change the minds of the evil b_____ds behind this! They’re resolute! But what they do is have a BIG effect on others. I’ve been to three marches now, through London, and as well as the thousands on the march, there are thousands of people WATCHING as we march through – cheering, bibbing on their horns – we give THEM strength. And, yes, when those people outside the shops, looking out of the windows of the houses, see thousands of ‘ordinary’, quite sane-looking people marching, some of them, just some of them, think ‘Blimey!’ and then THINK.
You couch potatoes at your laptops talking about ‘revolution’ etc – what have you DONE today? As well as working eight hours (I start at 5 am), I’ve thanked 126 MPs, I’ve signed petitions, yes, I’ve TALKED to people, yes I’m going on the march, I’ve posted on Facebook, what… Read more »
I have partaken in mail bombing 126 MPs for doing the right thing is not the best way to express one’s gratitude. I’ll be working until about 11pm. Unfortunately, there are few social activities still going on at that time, including marches, and it seems they’re all about to be outlawed again, despite these marches. But I’m glad you’re enjoying them. That’s a lot better than nothing (I do mean that).
Nevertheless, a few hundred people making a serious attempt at getting into Downing Street 10 would accomplish more than thousands having a street party.
Educate me, dear RW. What is better than writing a letter from the heart today to MPs who have voted against? What should I have done? In your opinion. What should I have done today that you would approve of? Rhetorical, as I’m not really interested. I’ll be working late as well. (Is this a competition?) No, there are no MARCHES going on this evening. There’s one on Saturday. 12 noon. Parliament Square. ‘I’m glad you’re enjoying that’. Thanks for the sarcasm. No I don’t bloody ENJOY marching/demonstrating. I do it anyway. Now, I’ve got stuff to do. You and others – you just keep typing – yeah, just keep ticking off, and bringing down the people that are doing everything they can to make a difference. I won’t be wasting time having any more dialogue with you.
I thought about commenting on that when Toby Young suggested it: (Possibly) (ten-)thousands of people writing emails to people in order to express their gratitude will end up with these people have a huge technical problem because of their overflowing inboxes. In internet lingo, something like this is called a mail bomb or – newer term – a distributed denial of service attack.
Apart from that, I wasn’t being sarcastic, just pointing out that you having the time to march in London neither means I’ll have it as well nor that this necessarily helps me (and presumably, a lot of other people).
Sorry, Deborah – but it hasn’t changed a thing. Many of us have tried in different ways.
Yes – keep trying. But face the reality.
I think she’s totally correct that public demonstrations of some sort of resistance/ noncompliance are necessary even despite politicians usually ignore them for as long as they can. But everybody who’s not wearing a mask does that, every day and without being fairly protected in a crowd of like-minded people.
You’ve got moxie, sister!
I’ll sign 4/5.
A referendum on the corona virus act would be dangerous as the sheep love it!
The petition links need to be circulated as widely as possible, inlcuding via the comments/discussion forums in newspapers like The Telegraph, Times, Mail and Express.
A referendum is a terrible idea, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone paying attention.
I just added a new comment saying exactly the same thing I posted it before I read this.
I do wonder what planet such suggestions come from given the way Johnson et al. just snap their fingers and the fledglings in the nest just open their mouths to beg for more worms.
Petitions?
I fear we are way past any rational or democratic measures. Here is the garbage I received from my MP in response to my censure of her vote on the government’s latest scam. Count the tangible errors. ‘Nuff said :vuln o hospitalisation and death should they contract thvirus, I With With so people still vulnerable to hospitalisation and death s “With so (many) people still vulnerable to hospitalisation and death should they contract the virus, I supported new restrictions to help bring the new variant under control.
Introducing COIVD passes and face masks in certain venues are vital for supporting our NHS as it comes under further strain and supporting the country as a whole.
To limit the spread of the virus most effectively and to allow us to end restrictions as soon as possible, I encourage everybody to receive their booster vaccination as soon as they can.”mes u and to
That’s presumably the same reply letter he also used last year. But the situation is a little different now.
He’s a she :-)). and it is a new load of (old) crap.
Sorry about the garbled paste, but I think it’s a significant characterization of the new non-opposition broadcasting the government line unabashed.
Dear Lord!
Have a listen to this, perhaps it’ll help petitioners to see reality.
Iain Davis Interviewed by JermWarfare – The Global Power Structure
I’m not saying do nothing I’m saying appealing to your oppressors never stops oppression. It’s like complaining to corporate bodies about their service, they put in place a difficult to find complaints procedure to give you something to work for, after hours or days searching, you eventually uncover that magic email address to the CEO’s office, the special assistant replies all very sympathetic & apologetic. A growing sense of accomplishment fills you with satisfaction!
Eventually, after a few weeks, you’re given a £10 off coupon. You suddenly realise you’ve spent the equivalent of £1000 just in phone calls & time spent complaining. Then it hits you, you’ve been played & it was all a waste of fucking time & effort!
“Won’t do any good”, “Futile”, etc etc. Daily Sceptic I think you have a bot problem. The demoralisers are upon us sapping our strength to fight back. Don’t listen to them !

YaY!
Oh dear, what a shame. The causalties are minimal fortunately. I do hope no records were destroyed.
Off topic but here’s a thought. Is the drive to lock down the un-jabbed in some countries a cunning plan so that when the hospitals are overflowing with jabbed up Covvie patients this winter, the narrative becomes ‘well that’s because we didn’t allow the un-jabbed out so they couldn’t catch Covid’?
(Lockdowns work! It’s for their own protection after all!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
United we stand divided we are nothing – hope you can all make it.
‘Please, please Westminster MPs, listen to our plea! We know that all but 126 MPs are incapable of standing up for the people of this country, and have allowed page after page of draconian legislation to go through unchallenged and often without a semblance of debate; even the recent renewal of the Coronavirus Act 2020 was just laughed through by the Deputy Speaker.
‘We are also hurt that you have chucked out most previous petitions, and some of us are worried this whole petition system is just a distraction to keep us chattering classes feeling involved – surely not?
‘Notwithstanding the above, it is in the spirit of democratic optimism that you will find our signatures attached in the hope you condescend to at least officially acknowledge these 5 petitions before rejecting them, while the police transfer our names directly to the DDT (Database of Dim Troublemakers) where they will doubtless match up with the names you already have from previous petitions.’
BBC
“That means nearly twice as many Americans have now died in the pandemic as did in World War Two.”
many more have died ‘in the pandemic’ – just not of covid
Part of the psyop was to make this a war against death. Impossible objective obviously which is the point. Its like the ‘war against terror’. ‘the war against a colourless, odourless, gas’. Its an invention that is deliberately impossible to quantify or ever ‘overcome’. Its classic way of keeping a population under control by maintaining fear. Its completely Orwellian.
By the way I have signed these ( allowable as British citizen). I also doubt their veracity, but we have to try everything at all times to chip away at the paradigm.
In ww2 the US population was 132 million
it’s now 300 million.
/facepalm
Also, since the start of the covid lockdown the UK National Debt is increasing at a rate of about 40% above the rate of accumulation during World War Two (assuming ‘official’ inflation figures and uniform rate of accumulation).
Nice to see the Daily Sceptic doing a bit of campaigning rather than just copy/pasting articles from the Lügenpresse which aren’t worth reading in full.
Utterly futile.
All done, but it won’t do any good.
This government doesn’t care.
The Church doesn’t care.
The Press (BBC, National Newspapers, Local Newspapers, Daily Telegraph partially excepted) doesn’t care.
But thanks for pulling them altogether.
It veers off-topic, but one step closer to a police state.
Leering and catcalling now listed as prosecutable offences
This may sound naive, but what’s cornering? It’ll Soon be illegal to be white & in public with male genitalia, unless of course you’re a transwoman.
I think cornering means standing so that it’s difficult for a person to get away from you without brushing past you, pushing you out of the way, or asking you to move. If mens rea is required, then trying to intimidate the person by standing in such a position would be part of the definition.
Leering will probably be defined by having a score of more than 5 for pupil dilation when there’s a pair of tits in the vicinity. The score will depend on the person’s eye colour. Google goggles will be sold that darken lenses and thereby obscure the potential leerer’s vision as soon as their score rises above 3. A deluxe version will blur out the two bulges in the clothing and show a picture of the Archbishop of Canterbury – or the most senior male cleric in the Church of England if the AB of C is a woman.
Edit: to be serious for a moment, upskirting is very nasty and should be an offence.
More interesting question: Will this apply to gay people as well? I mean, they a veritable bastion of No isn’t an answer! etc which can easily become a serious nuisance.
Yes – special cameras will be installed above urinals.
If you belong to the set of people socialising in these places, this shouldn’t be an issue for you. The assumption that I certainly must is wrong.
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don’t know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
I’m the cat that got the cream
Haven’t got a girl but I can dream
Haven’t got a girl but I can wish
So I’ll take me down to Main street
And that’s where I select my imaginary dish
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye
Brother if you’ve got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Try standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
Brother you can’t go to jail for what you’re thinking
Or for that woo look in your eye
Standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

Them were the days.
Or, one of my husbands favourite songs.
The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss
Guys talk girl talk, it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin’ care
It’s keepin’ track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go ’round
What’s that sound, each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They’re making music to watch girls by
Guys talk girl talk, it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin’ care
It’s keepin’ track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go ’round

That’s a blast from the past. I remember a mixed dancing group (The Young Generation?) dancing to it, on some Saturday night entertainment show in the last 60’s / early 70’s.
I always longed to be one of those dancing girls too. Seemed so glamourous. Them were the days, eh?
I think Andy Williams did a famous rendition of it, way back in time!
He did indeed.

A bit off topic but Berenson just posted a comment on this
https://www.statnews.com/2021/12/14/moderna-amgen-among-biotech-heavyweights-pulling-out-of-jpm-conference-over-covid-concerns/
So a company which is making billions of pounds selling a vaccine to protect people from Covid is not prepared to attend a conference because ….. of COVID. It doesn’t say much for their confidence in their product.
They are probably concenred they might be on the receiving end of some ‘off message’ covid vaccine questions.
Mop Head is planning to give a press conference from Number 10 at 5pm.
If watching it live, here’s a handy graph to hold.
If you know any sheeple, tell them all the experts say the graph slopes upwards and then ask them whether the graph slopes upwards.
Other handy facts to know are that positives are increasing most rapidly in 0 to 4 year olds in England and infections rise during the winter because immune systems are depressed due to lack of sunlight on the body.
I tilted my head!
COVID’s going ballistic
/Sheeple.
Debate in parliament, just as with child vaccination: Four people showing up, one of them because he thought something more urgent was supposed to be debated, all reading prewritten statements that everything is absolutely necessary and wonderfully efficiently organized and that everybody else can go fuck himself for all they care.
I mean we are – quoting the Guardian who’s absent without leave – approaching the most dangerous phase of the pandemic, or, put into other words, nothing which happened so far was actually dangerous, and there’s really no time for petty concerns of mere commoners now.
All signed … for what its worth.
What’s the point? What’s the point in these petitions? What’s the point in peaceful protests? None of them are listening. I’d much rather everyone gathers together and smash their way through the Houses of Parliament and destroy the place!
