Pubs, restaurants and leisure businesses hit by omicron losses will be eligible for one-off grants of up to £6,000 in a £1 billion Christmas aid package announced by Rishi Sunak earlier today. Hospitality bosses say it’s too little, too late. The Telegraph has more.
The Chancellor said some 200,000 hospitality and leisure businesses would benefit from the grants to compensate for an average 40 per cent fall in revenue from the Government’s ‘Plan B’ restrictions in the run-up to Christmas.
The cash awards will vary according to the size of the business with those with a rateable value of more than £51,000 eligible for the full £6,000, those between £15,000 and £51,000 being offered £4,000 and smaller operations getting £2,666.
There will also be £100 million discretionary funding to be distributed by councils to other businesses hit by Covid restrictions this festive season.
The Government will also reintroduce its scheme to cover the cost of statutory sick pay for Covid-related absences for small and medium-sized employers across the U.K.
However, the package is unlikely to satisfy hospitality and leisure chiefs who have been hit by cancellations and face further uncertainty. The Prime Minister on Monday refused to rule out further restrictions, including a possible return of a ban on indoor drinking and eating.

Water on dry sand
Meanwhile more of our spending and daily activity is shifted online to Amazon, Netflix, Google, Facebook, etc.., the same tech companies that don’t allow criticism of these policies.
The conquistadors who plundered the Americas for gold were complete amateurs compared to these Tech Lords.
Lovely, more of our money (or future tax/inflation thefts) lavished on suppressing resistance to their policies.
This money should come directly out of the pockets of the pushers of panic and lockdown. Their panic, they should pay for it.
Our money will line the pockets of the Billionaires when the crash they have planned hits.
Yes. The asset stripping phase of late stage capitalism.
This is all state action not capitalist.
Capitalists would be taxing title (land, copyright and patent etc). The current progressive (tax working and spending ) is a stealthy welfare state for billionaires.
Late stage crony capitalism maybe. But crony capitalism is capitalism in name only.
You wish.
In the real world marxism is always pure cronyism.
Perhaps Mr S could pay this out of his personal petty cash account. I don’t think it’d be missed.
So where is the money coming from? Printed of course with nothing backing it.
Is this all designed to crash the financial system and bring in their planned Digital Currency, complete with Digital ID? Biden and the Fed are happy to ‘go for broke’.
Wait for the 10% inflation to hit!
All total madness – unless you are working for the Great Reset of course…
We’ve had the Fauci- Gates hit – now it’s Schwab’s turn to cash in on it.
Yes I believe it is. With “lockdowns” as a means of artificially suppressing economic activity. It looks like they’re trying to collapse it gradually so we don’t read it as a crash.
Yeah it was “coz of Covid”
And don’t forget, it was what the public wanted…
Who the fuck of all fuckwits out of all the fuckwits starring in this disater movie are bright enough to even take part in a “great reset” all of these pointless leaders of men coouldnt reset their own televisions
Yes they are spineless, ignorant ideologically bereft corporate goons who will almost certainly lose control of the chaos they have initiated. Things will get very messy.
That’s how I read this.
Not and never being short of hubris the likes of Gates, Schwab, Charlie Windsor and the Davos monkeys are of the opinion that they can control every aspect of their Reset. That is stupidity beyond belief.
I am sure they will be of the opinion that they have gamed every possible scenario but there are 8 billion on this planet, 200 governments, China and Russia. The potential unknowns are just that – completely unknown.
Something WILL go wrong with their plans and that is an absolute given. How things pan out thereafter will be as much our guess as theirs but it won’t be according to any plan, it will be hit and hope.
Their plans are already going wrong, ergo the stealthy replacement of ‘covid’ with ‘omicron’.
Headline today in the dirtbag Daily Mail:
The DM tells us that our natural immunity doesn’t work anymore. How dumb do they think we are?
The way the DM has turned on normal people, that’s something that’s not going to be easily forgot.
All these fu*king toe-rags need to have their comeuppance.
who the hell is still buying these rags, or even reading online? Why haven’t these media outlets simply vanished?
When I first went online, back in the day, I noticed there were a lot more idiots on this planet than I had beforehand assumed.
If you want a laugh, check this thread by a group of old biddies on mumsnet.com about Chris Whitty.
Here’s a sample:
Yes sir, fu*king morons make up the majority on this planet.
We need a sick bucket emoji!
lets hope they are all “vulnerable” if i may be so cuntish
More generous that the missive I was typing!
The idea of Whitty doing rounds in a respiratory ward made me shiver… Quiet wards at Xmas would be an excellent opportunity to distribute lung function suppressants…
I always knew that the morons were a majority, but devastatingly they outnumber us more than ten to one. A deep, dark part of my mind tells me that I shouldn’t be too devastated when the endless jabs acheive their goal. The rest of my brain/morality tells me to fight for these morons even when they are baying for my unvaccinated blood. If only they could comprehend their folly.
BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA !!
If it is anything like it is here on the other side of the Irish sea, they are being kept afloat by regular injections of taxpayers’ cash.
Ha ha! You’ve got to laugh really.
Yeah but its an uneasy laugh that unsettles you because thre are millions of people who you and i used to know who turned out to be absolute fucking halfwits incapable of reason or argument beyond what they had been programmed to think and say .So their lives ,education ,personalities, hobbies ,politics ,humanity all counted for fuck all .Like a genetation of sleepers just waiting to be activated into collective stupidity.I now realise that my own people and geneartion never really had what they thought they had over our parents it was just empty swagger .behind the Ectasy and gap years were a nation of lemmings who still needed someone to wipe their ass
Halfwits?
That’s far too generous.
Quarterwits, eighthwits, even sixteenthwits might be closer to the truth.
I’m frankly amazed that they can stand upright.
Your parents’ generation would never have bought the line “You’ve finished school and you’re going to go to university and get into enormous debt until you’re in your 40s – so hey, go and borrow some extra and spend it during a gap year!”
I bet an unrepresentative small sample of the ‘natural immunity only’ incorrectly normalized and all the success in ‘Pfizer + natural immunity group’ comes from the natural immunity.
Also, no doubt funded by Pfizer, GAVI or Gates
It’s peculiar what they are saying anyway. I realise the Pfizer stab is not a “vaccine” but its effects, albeit mediated through mRNA, are “supposed” to mimic the effects of a straightforward infection. That’s the “theory” of “vaccination”. It’s as though they want everybody to forget about how infections when not beaten by the first line of immune defence trigger antibody production and then antibodies will be easier to call out next time if necessary – what used to be common knowledge. “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger”. OK that’s not literally true, but it says something about why so few people for example fall ill with measles, German measles, or chickenpox twice. They want a totally dependent population with highly malleable minds – switching from one thing to the opposite, or believing two mutually contradictory things, etc. – considering itself under attack from a largely imaginary enemy in order to lie down and take whatever the real enemy chooses to “give” them, even if it’s death.
I’m not at all convinced that the Plan B restrictions were the main reason for the drop in revenue – it was mainly scaremongering about Moronic that did it, and everyone boosting themselves, testing themselves, getting sick, self isolating, worrying about missing Christmas.
I’ve stepped into the world of pre- Christmas retail today and found a hollowed out shell with low numbers and those that had braved it scuttling about masked (and double masked) up and looking anxious. How susceptible our compatriots are to propaganda!
Indeed. My town was fairly busy today but it felt fake and there was certainly no Christmas buzz about the place. As you say, people scuttling about and looking furtive as if the Covid monster was hiding round every corner ready to ounce on them. It did little to lift my spirits.
Local M&S was absolutely heaving when I went in there mid-afternoon.
Market day tomorrow – will be interesting to see how busy that is.
I live in a quite middle class town with an older demographic. They looked terrified!
Uncertain would be the description of my fellow citizens. Or maybe that was because I was unmasked and frankly looking at them with withering disdain. Although, I feel I rather overplay my influence here. I’m not a large Christmas type but I do enjoy the buzz around, however it was severely lacking today.
Serves them fucking right theyve got brains and all went to school .It does not take a lot of grey matter to realsie that this is a massive fucking hoax .I think some people like being scared with the hope of being saved .Some weird Freudian thing i imagine
Learned helplessness.
Licking the hand that whips them.
As for “I think some people like being scared with the hope of being saved“, that sums up how many have related to the NHS for decades. The last time I looked, long before SARSCoV2, women on average were going to see their GP about once every six weeks. It’s almost impossible not to be “Freudian” about that.
FUCK CHRISTMAS!!!! lets reclaim it byrejecting it like Afro Americans reclaiming the word nigger as a term or endearment.If we no longer give a shit about xmas then they cant use it as a cattle prod every fucking December .Also just wondered when this save the NHS malarky might flip back to the NHS saving the population that pay for it its been a while now hasnt it
I get where you are coming from, but Christmas has been the only time of year when there is so much “goodwill to everyone” in the air, and now the ruling scum are trying to wreck that, trying to put everyone on edge, shoot many people’s nerves to pieces.
So he’s giving away more of OUR money.
The one thing to be learned from all of this is that we don’t need big government full stop, and the UK power model from London needs a complete overhaul. Governments should stick to collecting the rubbish and repairing the roads. In all other aspects they can fuck off. We need to divide the UK up into states and govern ourselves.
The UK is becoming a hell hole, but much worse to come. The government crisis actors belong in jail.
The “Audience” still applaud em.
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THESE PEOPLE?
Well i think you need to sart at the welfare state,and then move on to the Daily Mail which does not report news it delivers Tory propaganda .Did anyone see the front page of The Mail and The Mirror yesterday .No headline just a full page advert to get your booster .The media is dead from that point on.
ALL of the papers bore that frontpage/backpage/overleaf.
…more of the taxpaters’ money being spaffed up a wall.
Crisis? What Crisis ?
You idiot Sunak, how about letting hospitality operate unhindered in the first place? Then you would not even have to bale the sector out with taxpayers money… I hear your family has a bob or two – maybe you could chip in directly?
I suspect Sunak is taking his orders from the financial elite who are in the process of engineering a controlled demolition of the economy. His hands are tied!
His hands are tied and itching to take the wheel from his wounded captain.
The owners of the ship have much more say than the captain
Just when you thought it was all over!
Unvaccinated people who caught Delta have virtually no protection against Omicron infection, lab study suggests – but people who’ve had it AND been jabbed have incredible ‘super immunity’
So now we know the new pro-vax narrative, it’s only just started, they will take credit for mild disease but claim the new mutation is so different from past variants no one has natural immunity. So it starts from the beginning all over again.
I’ve lost any respect I ever had for “the scientists” & Health professionals! The jabbery is out of control, these people need to be rounded up & incarcerated for life, without parole for the sake of our species.
Cross-reactive immunity still applies, and Omicron is neither novel or particularly strange, the same as the original strain as far as the body is concerned. Those exposed to the SARS virus in Japan still displayed immunity to SARS-COV2 some two decades later. I was exposed to quite a few nasty bugs during my time growing up in the far east and imagine (and with some hope) I’m close to immune to any and all strains of convid. I’ll stick with my natural immunity thanks!
Stop talking sense man who wants this kind of good news
T cells??
No doubt our children and grandchilden will have ‘Delta Survivors’ coming into schools reciting harrowing tales of the once in a hundred years pandemic that never was – and if they dont continue to isolate, mask up and get juiced it will all return..
I think everyone needs to win a VC for struggling through hay-fever this summer.
Perhaps the NHS could loan theirs?
I am vaccinated as is my wife and we have Omicron.
Should have a booster then they have been telling us quite a bit or like me you may just decide that its this years fucking cold virus and we didnt all die unless we were dying anyay Hoax of the century
I am not vaxed, had Delta, been around people with Omicron (not hard everyone has it) so far nothing
Guaranteed to get it now after being smug
But do still have high antibody count and T cell reactivity, In theory natural immunity should attack the viruses in many places so hoping I can avoid most mutations. Not that it matters if turning into a cold.
I had a nice Omicron once – it kept perfect time.
Change two of the words in the above with Auschwitz and Zyklon B and you get…well you know where I’m going with this.
Instead of giving compensation, just stop raping us to begin with.
Yes, indeed. They bend us over and sling pound notes on our backs during the act.
Except it’s monopoly money and we have to live shackled in a cellar while they rev up a chainsaw.
You practically read my mind. I nearly mentioned the ‘monopoly money’ element in all of this.
BS665, I just looked up what you suggested I might look up, and I’m pretty certain I found you. I see you have a book following from your PhD. Fair play, my friend, and I wish you every success.
Cheers, MR. Search my name plus ‘blog’ to get a blogger profile if you fancy some ‘Christian chainsaw’ antics
Ah yes, the blog! I’ll look it up, pal. If you’re currently active on the blog I may chime in, depending.
Funnily enough, your thesis is actually something that interests me. I’m one of those theology nerds at whom your book is aimed.
I have several blogs, which you can check out at your leisure, including art and poetry ones. Can’t vouch for the quality, mind! Eclectic is the word…
How funny. I find your blog and the first/last blog post I see mentions Polish Ealing… Now brace yourself. I’m a Hounslow boy, and at one time I was convinced that we had the largest Polish population.
We used to have battles with your lot. I’m talking running battles.
God bless you, my friend.
Well this is getting uncanny!
If you go back of google you will find a link to the blogger profile which lists all da blogz.
Bless you. I have a lot of respect and love for the Polish.
Thanks. Some of them were even Reformed. Back in the day
The British Government’s response to covid-19 seems analogous to trying to control a smouldering skip-fire by tossing damp wads of £20 notes on it.
Make that £50 notes.
And make those wads not so damp and soaked in petrol.
I would imagine the derisory sums being offered by the government would not cover the takings of one busy day in many pubs.
As to where the money comes from – they just print more, don’t they? No wonder our economy is struggling. How long before it totally implodes?
Not long, it’s deliberate
Yes I’m wondering where the safe havens are. I want to keep liquidity on my savings but the big boys involved in this are buying assets such as farm land. I’d copy them if I had a few million to spare. As for pensions they will evaporate in the collapse!
Mugabe was before his time.
“they just print more, don’t they?”
And the standard of living falls to compensate
£6,000 each? They’re taking the piss!
This is just a political gesture for the benefit of the masses and probably the start of his bid for PM. If only £6,000 would save them it wouldn’t be worth bothering, there can’t be a viable hospitality business out there that can’t sort that out themselves.
‘Pubs, restaurants and leisure businesses hit by omicron losses…’
Come again? What on God’s green earth is ‘omicron losses’ when it’s at home? So you mean losses due to Government intervention for a variant as scary as its host name? No company lost anything because of a virus and its variants, Tobes.
Get a grip.
Sounds like we’ve been fighting aliens named Omicrons or something. We’ve lost a lot to the Omicrons!
Possibly a new enemy for Captain Scarlet, to go with the Mysterons? Perhaps the Omnicrons appear as a red square of light to distinguish them from the Mysterons’ white circle?
Please don’t bring Captain Scarlet into this; Mr Paul Metcalfe must remain unsullied by association, with this absolutely murderous sh*tshow.
I had a crush on Captain Scarlet when I was a kid.
If only it might have blossomed into a relationship. Mind you, it couldn’t have been a ‘no strings’ affair…
Were you looking for a bit of fun, no strings attached?
Good choice, was a very attractive cast so lots to choose from.
I preferred UFO – those tight outfits. Ooh missus.
Johnson and his Needle Nazis are relying on their experimental medical procedures to work their magic. Knowing how far into the future they can keep the plandemic going, he has purchased a fourth and also a fifth round of experimentation for UK citizens, while Canada and Australia have purchased enough nano-juice for seven rounds of Russian Roulette per person.
With 2 doses and 7 boosters of graphene oxide and hydra, I’ll be able to transmit 6 feet under, own nothing and be happy.
They’ll collect your remains for recycling using a magnet.
He’ll be easy to find using a Geiger counter that’s for sure..
Clearly they are not proving as deadly as hoped.
Two schools of thought here. One says they didnt want the harm to reveal itself so early and were banking on mass deaths and sterilisation years down the road so that no obvious link would be made to the nano juice. The second school of thought says they have primed small batches with toxins that kill and maim in order for these events to be attributed to ‘covid’ and thus facilitate a repeat of the injection cycle. This would enable the dispersal of greater numbers of toxic batches, lead to even more deaths and injuries that can be blamed on the virus, and so on in an endless cycle.
Haha
I doubt that last part is even free XD
Nobody in their right mind is going to fly into London, last minute with family for their Christmas vacation. That’s the US market gone (again).
All this fraudster’s doing is printing yet more money, which I’ll pay back in increased taxes after whatever is left from 10%+ food inflation and the 33%+ heating bill thanks to Net Zero. How are the wind turbines doing today? Oh that’s right 2.9%.
The only way to survive is work for the public sector or have a government contract. But I’m not in Hancock’s Whatsapp group.
£1bn for a lead headline to take away the heat of garden parties – no mask, no distancing, drinking alcohol which compromises the immune system.
Any odds on lockdowns announced this Friday?
Low density power (wind and solar) pump taxpayer subsidies into the landowners that the sun and wind-totems sit on.
90% of land is owned by 1% of people.
I didn’t care until now. Now it matters.
Is there a chance to move next door to Mr handcock
“The only way to survive is work for the public sector or have a government contract.”
You’ll need to be pretty senior too. I don’t think anyone below board level (whatever that is in the Civil Service) will be taken care of. The rest of the workers and management will be serfs like the rest of us.
The bit I’m not looking forward to is being ejected from my house for some minor council manager to take. At that point all is lost and I’ll fight to the death. Probably a few minutes later as he’ll no doubt be accompanied by the new Stasi.
The fact that nobody even bats an eyelid on the eyewatering debt level this man has accumulated for the country is also reflective of a stupid and insane world we live in. They must be getting this cash from somewhere – my guess it’s via the Special Drawing Rights or SDRs from the IMF, which currently is linked to a basket of currencies. As the Economist headlines in one of it’s articles, “Its generosity depends on what rich countries do with their allocations”. “Generosity”? Hardly given it’s in fact a loan. I’d bet anyone that means conditions related to COVID, restrictions and vaccinations programs.
They have pushed a false crisis onto countries and then offered them “Covid Relief” in the form of debt entrapment.
This entire agenda is run by central bankers.
Did you mean “Comic Relief”?
Unfortunately, I have come to understand why they have such contempt for the ordinary people. I now share that view. If Boris went on TV and openly told them that COVID, the mother of all plagues, has forced them to double taxes (UBI) and take all the property which will be held by the central banks until the never ending plague is over, the sheep would thank him. Effing idiots most of the population.
Then I guess we need to play their own game. Keep money out of company pension schemes, buy large cap stocks, real assets such as property and land (and then defend your right to own them, even if it means 2nd amendment, let’s just pretend it exists here in the UK ;)). Keep debt low as much as possible. And most importantly as many are doing here in this forum , not to comply and hold the line.
I’m trying in my small way.
what does one do end January with instalment of tax then due without ending up paying interest at high rate
Maybe they should also start subsidizing Zuckerverse, the healthy, safe way to celebrate life online with your virtual friends. Hey, thanks to research progress in AI, soon you won’t even notice if some of your friends have been disappeared!
Soma
Sorry this is off topic, but any advice about where to get Ivermectin? Thanks.
Horse and country store.
Say you have a horse.
titrate for weight.
Or you can get human-grade IM pills via Indiamart.
Indiamart seems to be India’s rough equivalent of Alibaba, Amazon or Ebay.
They’re normal-looking. I’m sure if the NHS prescribed IM the pills would look just the same.
Most common pharmaceuticals are made in India
Would it also help with erection?
Got mine from meds4care.com
Wouldnt it be cheaper to ease restrictions ??.This looks like the act of a government who know they wont have the privelige or the chance to clean up the unholy mess they are happy to leave for somone else.Alas it also means the next government can blame the last governmnt for the next twenty years and do nothing but dick around lining their own pockets and so it goes Essentialyl all governments are a loan that never gets paid back.
We need a Reset but not the WEF one!
The tools all exist for greater democractisation and freedom. My theory is that is why this is happening now.
You think objective conditions are riper for freedom and a more human society now than they were in say the 17th century at the time of Abiezer Coppe? Why? Because of technological change? Just asking. What are these “tools” to which you refer?
Rishi offers frogs swimming in his saucepan an ice cube each!
Don’t you just love it how these people throw money around like it’s from their pocket? It[‘s one thing when you read “Elon Musk offers £1bln to some cause or another” and quite another when you read “Rishi Sunak offers £1bln to save the hospitality sector”. Elon Musk is taking that money out of his pocket. Rishi Sunak is taking it out of OUR pocket. He’s paying for his mistakes with OUR money, even though we told him this will happen.
How people don’t find this outrageous, I do not understand. What if you hired someone to replace the tiles in your bathroom and they come around asking for a few thousand quid extra over what you agreed cause they accidentally knocked a wall down? Would you be ok with that or would you sue them?
It took me 20 years to build a training business, 25,000 happy customers. We became the best in the world at large, complex defence project lifecycle management, working with some of the top people in the world.
The Tories destroyed it, nothing for 22 months now, nor likely to be going forward. Looks like time to hang up my laptop.
Thanks guys.
I’m sorry to hear that. Do you know why the business stopped? It’s not that PS has gone bust. Have they found a larger company that’s a WEF partner?
Most of you on here are brighter than me, but for the few that might not be, here’s one aspect of how our fiat-currency system actually works.
A man realises that there is an untapped market in his local area for a special type of bicycle that he has the talent to make. But he has no money to set up a manufacturing plant.
He goes to his bank. They look at his plans and see the potential for a successful and profitable enterprise. The bank decides to loan the man £500,000 to set up his plant. They don’t have the money, though, sitting in their vault, actually no local bank does.
So, the bank contacts the privately owned and managed Central Bank. Yes, all Central Banks in the West are privately owned and managed and for profit. These don’t have the money sitting in their vaults either.
They don’t need to because fiat currency can be created as if by magic. The Central Bank just taps out £500,000 on a keyboard. The local bank then gives this amount to the loan seeker and he builds his factory and manufactures bicycles.
We’ll say his factory and bicycle sales are a success. He pays back the £500,000 loan and the massive interest.
So, the Central Bank gets back the loan and interest, and the cute people that own it immediately exchange it for real estate, gold or something else that’s tangible and that will keep its value.
Just say the lender paid back the £500,000 plus 10% interest. This means the privately-owned Central Bank has now turned the £500,000 it created out of nothing by tapping a keyboard into £550,000 worth of property or gold.
And all on the foresight, talent, work and sweat of the man who manufactured and sold the bicycles.
This money out of nothing is near its end. The globalists know this. As we are all going to find out in a few years, the only real money is property or gold or silver. But this type of currency only keeps its value to its owners as long as they have the ability to protect it.
The globalists are scared because when the fiat-currency based Western economies crash people are going to be annoyed. They’ll be even more annoyed when they realise they’ve been conned all along.
The property, gold and silver that the globalists keep as their treasures will be no good to them if people across the West start rising up and taking back what they’ll view as rightfully theirs. And the people will strip the globalists bare when they realise how their Central Banks screwed them.
I believe that a big part of this fake pandemic and the poisonous vaccines is the globalists emasculating populations so that their assets will be safe from attack when the fiat-currency system finally crashes for the last time.
Good post.. you’re spot on.. the covid thing’s just a convenient distraction for what’s going on behind the scenes. They’re after a controlled collapse of the financial system, and then bring in Central Bank digital currency, digital wallet tied to vax pass and social credit system..
I agree with your synopsis as being a high probability or at least a major motivator. I wouldn’t rule out pure unadulterated, psychopathic narcissism.
You know the fiat system would be ok if they turned £50K into profit and assets. The problem is they take more.
Never forget.. all wars, both bloody and financial, are banksters wars..
Yep spot on. Right now assets are being purchased at discount prices as people are forced to shut down their livelihoods. To quote Austin Fitts’ excellent State of Currencies paper, “the U.S. is embarked on $10-plus trillion (and counting) of monetary and fiscal stimulus in 2020. The accumulation of federal deficits and debt combined with retirement and pension obligations raise questions regarding the future existence of the United States, its laws, and government structure—and, with these, the U.S. dollar. We are approaching $60 trillion shifted out of the existing system, much of it into hidden hands, while liabilities are ballooning, with even more being moved onto taxpayers’ balance sheet”.
“A small Group A steals $60 trillion through governments and central banks. They use the money to buy up all the real assets— gold, real estate, weapons, and spaceships. To finance this, they sell most government bonds to Group B’s pension funds and retirement assets. Then they announce that to give relief to Group B, “we need a debt jubilee.” That sounds great, right? With the jubilee, all of Group B’s pension funds, retirement assets, and even some insurance holdings are wiped out since they were stuffed full of the debt used by Group A to finance their financial coup. In other words, Group A just doubled down on their winnings by tricking the body politic into a debt jubilee. But the game is not over yet because then Group A comes in for the kill and buys all of Group B’s assets at fire sale prices—using the money stolen from Group B!”
Try and explain that to the masses and they’ll just stare open mouthed. Not because it’s beyond their comprehension but because they think it impossible “Daddy” would do that.
Can i recommend you all watch a British propaganda film from 1941 just to see how a nation dealt with a crisis then and perhaps compare our coutrys reaction to a made up pandemic that has left millions horribly unscathed its quite short so have a go its called Christmas Under Fire 1941 You tube .Im a little embarrased for us all after watching this
Psychologically it would be so much easier. The enemy is a foreigner attacking you, not your own people. It pulls the nation together not segregates. But … was WW2 just a game too, to cover what happened in the Great Depression?
Our local council apparently had hardly any demand for hand outs last time.
Rishi chucks out £1 billion of his master’s fiat currency, which has been created using nothing but a computer and keyboard.
And they will drown too and the river may be China.
Busy pubs would make that amount in one weekend in December.
As there are only 14 deaths with omicrom, why not just open the hospitality industry up and save that 1bn of tax payers money
Don’t give them any legality.. you don’t know what those 14 people died of.. there’s been so many lies I believe nothing from official sources..
I agree, have never thought people have died without underlying conditions, just making a point that if that was what the government think, its makes it even more ridiculous to shut down a whole industry then bail it out
Absolutely right..
Think about this headline:
Rishi Sunak Offers £1 Billion Rescue Package to Hospitality Sector
This appears to be Toby Young’s own headline. We are asked to believe that the benevolent Sunak is rescuing the hospitality sector. Rescuing it from what, exactly?
Well I’m glad you asked. It turns out that the sector is being rescued from the same benevolent Sunak and his mob’s own policy of throwing it overboard in the first place.
I know. It’s fantastic stuff. The benevolent Sunak and his crew throw the sector overboard, chuck it a rubber ring, thus, in Newspeak, rescuing it, and professing sceptics write a banner headline highlighting the swashbuckling rescue act.
With enemies like the Daily Sceptic, who needs friends?
Sticking this much money in suggests lockdowns to come.
Throwing billions more of OUR money around for their ignorant, hubristic obsession.
I guess they will still get full salaries (plus a stupidity bonus?) and an unaffected pension. Easy to make rules for others when they don’t impact on you.
Wales has gone full communist-socialist with all its petty, life destroying, restrictions. It does illustrate what happens when you have a Labour government.
How insultingly bloody derisory.
Well, no ”further restrictions” will impact upon him or his lickspittle mates. They’re above all this – and besides, they KNOW there is no danger from this common cold now. If there ever was.
