Boris Warns of ‘Challenges in Coming Weeks’ in NYE Message Hinting at New Restrictions Next Week

2 min read

We’re not out of the woods yet. According to MailOnline, tonight may be our last night of freedom for some time as the usual doom-mongers warn Boris he must impose new restrictions.

Johnson is expected to make a decision in the first week of the New Year on whether to restrict mixing indoors in England…

The Prime Minister opted not to impose new curbs between Christmas and New Year’s Eve but rising Covid case numbers are fuelling fears that new measures could be on the horizon.

A further 189,213 coronavirus cases were recorded across the UK yesterday – a new record high – while the number of hospital patients with Covid in England rose to 11,452, a rise of 61% in just one week.

Johnson said in his New Year’s Eve message that the nation’s position in the battle against the disease is now “incomparably better than last year” thanks to the vaccine rollout.

It came as NHS bosses warned that the Government “needs to be ready to introduce tighter restrictions at real speed should they be needed”.

Chris Hopson, the head of NHS Providers, said new curbs “may be needed at pace if the evidence warrants it” as he said health bosses “still don’t know” if there will be a surge in elderly hospitalisations which could trigger Mr Johnson to act.

Meanwhile, a Government scientific adviser today warned it is likely the NHS will be overwhelmed by the spread of the Omicron variant.

Professor Peter Openshaw, who sits on the Government’s New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said: “I think we haven’t quite reached the threshold that was set by Government in terms of the NHS being overwhelmed, but it looks like that will be reached quite quickly.”

Please listen to Dr. Robert Malone’s three hour interview with Joe Rogan. If Boris and his cronies mandate any further lockdowns, this country is simply f’d. Because the evidence that lockdowns simply do not work is overwhelming. Which means Boris and co are not listening to the most famous scientists. That folks is a very BIG concern.

Seeing as there is a push to deliver tests to every single household (un solicited by many) I suspect this is the next ruse to create a lockdown and blame the unjabbed. It’s high time this pandering to Government and excuses given regarding Johnson’s despicable behaviour stops.

Today we see some of the most evil people being Knighted. Whilst real heroes, as usual, are ignored. Until our few spokespeople take their heads out of the sand and start asking some very pertinent questions, we are are going to slowly drown in quicksand.

Restrictions will be imposed for one reason only, to avoid it being shown that they make no material difference whatsoever. Nothing to do with protecting the NHS from being overwhelmed. This is all about seeking to protect lockdown as a lobbying tool .

Ah, but what happened to all that ‘great leadership’ that Johnson showed resisting restrictions Toby?
Not a psy-op, was it?
You were not taken for a ride (at best) or, at worst, acted complicity as controlled opposition, did you?

To Johnson and his fellow psychopaths – we will not allow the slightest 2mm encroachment.
We will ignore and stampede over any restriction, in mass peaceful civil disobedience.
And we will expose your sick, devilish plan to all our fellow citizens.
You have unleashed uncontrollable forces.

Why? At this point, nothing will slow down what is coming, and you don’t want to. The at risk are tripple jabbed. The rest of us have an 80% chance of never knowing or feeling more than a cold. Of the remaining 20&, 70-80% will see a doctor/A&E, and be discharged. Omicon is the next step in an endemic virus. Just learn to live with it and don’t get tested unless you are in actual need of a doctor or work with the elderly/sick.

when will people wake up. The vast majority of people have now either had Covid, been vaccinated or both. I have just had Covid myself and had a sore throat for a few days and a sniffly nose. If i had not tested positive I would have barley noticed, most colds I have had have been worse. What are the real agenders of the people who are demanding needless restrictions and controls on people’s lives?

This is the thing – you tested yourself with some cheap plastic piece of tat Made in China, got a ‘positive result’, and promulgate the myth of this Mystery Virus.

If people keep saying they “had The Covids” then we are never going to get out of this cycle. Stop testing yourselves! You are only continuing to give ammunition to your jailers.

‘Waking up’ means not testing yourself! (smiley face with wink)

Lots of ‘cases’ just means the Government(s) will keep this rolling on… they need to be cautious, etc. etc.

I am not one for ‘conspiracy theories’ but I certainly do think that countries are not behaving ‘independently’ now – they are indeed in a conspiracy of ‘lockstep’. This is a global control. Our Governments have been hijacked.

I was pleasantly surprised to find, after having been away for 4 months from it, on the boating forum I am a member of (anyone can be a member, free for all) about a third are now ‘Covid sceptics’.

Those that still believe in the Covid fraud really do seem like fanatics, and will never back down and admit they were taken in. As someone earlier here posted, if all the Covid nonsense went away next week, people would be saying we were all saved because of the ‘vaccines’ – and without the ‘anti-vaxxers’ it could have all ended so much sooner.

It’s a bit of a bizarre forum and has an odd history – I gave it a miss for 4 months recently until last weekend, as almost everyone was ever-so-smug about having taken their vaccines and accusing me of being a super-spreader (simply because I hadn’t – I haven’t had any kind of Covid as far as I can tell!).
This Loddon is a particularly vile creature – telling everyone else to Stay At Home whilst he drives across the country from Devon to his boat in East Anglia, the usual do as I say, not as I do two-faced hypocrite.

Can someone please tell these NHS bosses to fook off. They should all be made to resign in disgrace and not be entitled to any pension. These people’s inept management of the NHS means it is unable to cope with a relatively mild winter virus. On top of this they are now demanding that a nation of 70 million people have their lives severely disrupted yet again for months on end all because they have failed to run the NHS properly. They can’t blame it on a lack of funds as more than enough taxpayers hard earned cash is thrown as this disfunctional organisation.

Interesting clip. Much as I’ve been saying from the beginning. I would add that we are prediposed to seek out new viruses, through our noses, 24/7. The common cold and flu are a blessing (for most), if a little inconvenient, keeping our immune system up-to-date and active, deleting unwanted cells such as those which may cause cancer, providing we do not take paracetamol or drugs which interfere with the part of our brains which regulate temperature. I would also suggest not taking any medication which unblocks the nose unless you wish to invite in a potentially new virus and compound your problems!!

With this and all the other treatments being suppressed by e.g. MHRA there would not have been a crisis in the NHS – apart that is from the chronic lack of treatments for cancers, joint replacements, etc etc etc due to shocking Tory mismanagement.

surely at some point they are going to have to quietly accept that the injectable therapeutic is all but pointless now the genie is finally out of the bottle, get off the fucking media platforms and do something else. The record is stuck and the needle broken.

There is zero logical argument for anything now continuing now that this has all come to pass. It’s past the point where any intervention would / could pretend to be of value.

plan B, to absolutely no ones surprise, has achieved nothing. for example vaccine passports proved to be utterly pointless as they still closed sports to millions (Wales and Scotland and soon to be England too)

“vaccines” themselves clearly don’t stop transmission nor illness (define severe when it’s subjective) so why the constant texts about a booster ? It’s just a continuous waste of money.

Working from home is no solution. The U.K. claimed to have hit 180k “cases” a day when schools are closed and offices shut. Good luck next week clowns !
