Current Covid data does not indicate a need for new restrictions, a Cabinet minister has said. The Telegraph has more.
Steve Barclay, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, indicated that stricter controls were unlikely to be introduced in the coming days, based on the latest hospitalisation and case figures.
On Wednesday, Boris Johnson is set to review the Plan B measures brought in last month, including rules mandating masks in almost all indoor public settings and requiring Covid passports for nightclubs and large events.
Government sources told the Telegraph last week that they were not expecting to repeal any of the Plan B restrictions yet, with adults in England set to be told to continue working from home if possible. The measures are set to roll over to the next review point on Jan 26th.
Senior Tories on Sunday said Plan B must not become a new normal, warning Mr Johnson that the Government must push to “get back to Plan A”.
Mr Barclay’s comments come as daily reported infections in England drop by 24% overnight, to 123,547 on January 2nd down from 162,572 on January 1st. Even taking into account it being a Sunday, when there are usually fewer infections reported, it is a considerable drop.
In London, the epicentre of the country’s Omicron outbreak, reported infections continue to show no sign of growth.
The Telegraph report is worth reading in full.

On the last Wednesday Debate we discussed a story in the Daily Mail about how the parents of autistic and down syndrome young people have been forced to sign “do not resuscitate” orders. The government denied the report, but one of our views Scott got in touch to say he was one of those parents.
We chat to him exclusively to understand the plight Sir Chris Whitty and others are putting families through during this Coronavirus Pandemic. Andre Walker

When you are demonised for speaking the truth you are living in tyranny.
Is there a written version of that Youtube video? It looks interesting.
“Do Not Resuscitate” is nothing but a bureaucratic euphemism for a type of euthanasia – letting a person die when treatment could save them (not necessarily only “keep them alive”, but actually save them so that they recover).
Has any medic in Britain ever had the guts to say so in public? Have they f*ck!

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/mar/31/welsh-surgery-says-sorry-after-telling-the-very-ill-not-to-call-999
Yeah, it’s such a drag, having to call 999 when a close family member is choking. That’s lost ad-watching and porn-watching time!
(Note too how the authors of this murderous advice wrote “friends” before “family”.)
This continues to really tick me off, it is one of the most misunderstood directives.
DNACPR stands for Do Not Attempt CardioPulmonary Resuscitation.
A separate DNACPR may be required for each healthcare provider. They are not usually transferable and a hospital cannot insist on a primary care clinician impose one on a discharged patient. A DNACPR MUST be reviewed every few days UNLESS there are valid reasons as to why a review is not required such as futility, the DNACPR can be reversed, for example a patient may be very poorly in ITU but recovers sufficiently to be transferred to a normal ward and a DNACPR is no longer appropriate.
A DNACPR can be only applied to a patient in hospital by a specialist registrar or consultant level physician, I think a band 7 nurse and above can apply a DNACPR in A&E but I cannot remember the details of the forms used in University Hospitals of Leicester NHS trust.
CPR is used when a person has a cardiac arrest. It does not, or should not, mean that other treatment is not started or is terminated.
If a person is choking then treatment to reverse that condition is not contraindicated by a DNACPR and if an ambulance is called they must and will treat, even with a DNACPR in place. Failure to treat would be manslaughter and could be murder. If no DNACPR is apparent then CPR must be started.
A patient in hospital with a DNACPR will still be treated with antibiotics if they are septic for example.
Another directive that could be put in place by the patient is an advanced directive, this will detail what treatment should be given in specific circumstances, and may include a DNACPR in case of cardiac arrest. To complete this the person must have capacity as defined in the mental capacity act and the directive is completed in conjunction with a GP. An advanced directive applies across all healthcare providers..
You are either a fool or a propagandist if you imagine the rule of law still applies in the UK. Blanket DNR’s issued will nilly since the coup – and no one bats an eyelid.
Nah don’t play that game, you won’t get anywhere intentionally being divisive or alienating people.
Anyway, the vast majority of medical professionals only do what they’re taught & told.
Do Not Attempt Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) recommendations are used to guide health and care professionals, across all settings, in making an immediate decision on how to respond should the patient in their care suffer a cardiac arrest or stop breathing for any reason. They may be made by clinicians or be put in place by individuals as part of advanced care planning. DNACPR are not legally binding. Ultimately, the decision to start or not to start CPR is a clinical judgement made at the point in time; the presence of a DNACPR recommendation will guide this decision.” From https://www.rcn.org.uk/clinical-topics/end-of-life-care/covid-19-guidance-on-dnacpr-and-verification-of-death
Neither my late husband or myself were aware that a DNR had been placed on him. I only found out months after his death when I applied to see his medical records. I managed to trace the signatory (who had transferred hospitals by then) but all I got was a half-hearted apology…..
I am neither a fool or a propagandist, and I take exception to anyone suggesting that. I am a retired nurse practitioner, registered with the NMC. There are clear guidelines, irrespective of what the CQC found. A DNACPR, like any care or treatment plan should be patient centred and unique to that patient. Blanket decisions are a definite no no from my perspective.
And you can guarantee that this applies in all NHS hospitals and Care Homes in the UK?
So what happened to all the Midazolam ordered by Hancock?
To be fair it was not Anti_socialists rude assertion.
He was quoting and refuting ‘cornubian’.
I have always found your posts to be both thoughtful and interesting, certainly not those of a fool or propagandandist.
Upon leaving hospital back in April my notes included a “DNR” notice as part of my decision not to pursue the recommended course of treatment (“what’s the point? Life will not be worth living and I’m gonna die of something else soon anyway”).
All of this was very carefully discussed at length with nurses and consultants. After a while I changed my mind so started receiving day patient treatment and the “DNR” notice was cancelled.
“DNR” = What members of the public still call it.
The vast majority of NHS professionals that I have encountered recently will, I’m sure, ‘do the right thing’ regardless of what civilian managers or politicians might declare.
JOHN. Presumably a Band 7 nurse is one wearing the darkest navy blue uniform?
During my recent 10 day stretch as an inpatient it was fascinating to observe the interactions between nurses of different grades, from light sky blue to dark navy.
While reinforcing the strictly hierarchical nature of the profession (as recalled by my mum who was forty years a nurse during and after WW2) it must be extremely useful during any form of emergency.
in England there’s no standard of uniform colours! One trust I worked for had a uniform for band 7 that was a band 8 in another trust, which would be ok, except that the former trust was a service provider at the site of the latter trust.
In Wales I believe they have a standardised uniform, and you’re probably right.
One anecdote, we had an 8 week old baby brought in unresponsive. Everyone jumped into resuscitation mode, completely ignoring the advanced life support protocol. I wasn’t paediatric trained, so I ended up pulling everyone back onto protocol and running the resuscitation effort, which ultimately failed. At the debrief the paediatric consultant thanked me for taking charge, although I was a band 5 staff nurse.
I am certainly neither a fool or a propagandist, and I resent any such suggestion, just a humble retired registered nurse practitioner. None of my former colleagues either in primary or secondary care would tolerate any such directive.
Whether you believe it or not, but the rule of law still exists in the U.K. As a registered healthcare professional I had a legal and moral responsibility to my patients which was underwritten by the NMC code of professional conduct, likewise my paramedic colleagues with the HCPC and my physician colleagues with the GMC.
DNR orders do not exist, and haven’t existed for at least 10 years, when DNR was changed to do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR), which was subsequently changed to DNACPR, as I said in the original post above.
Malcolm Kendrick did have problems with the ambulance service trying to get his patients admitted to hospital.

If I had been involved and not followed these guides then I would have been, quite rightly, censured by the NMC and would have had no protection from either my union (RCN) or my employer.
The problem is that care homes without registered staff would probably follow the directives from the hospital.
I will say this John, I believe your professional contributions are an asset to this site and I always appreciate them.
Thank you.
Looks like The Telegraph batting an eyelid.
Yeah, I got a real bollocking by my wife for casually comparing DNACPR as murder, her explanation was just as detailed but a lot less polite.
I’ve never mentioned it again anywhere, i’d add Things like CPR, defibrillation etc aren’t some kind of miracle procedure neither is midazolam a miracle drug
It is wrong to suggest health care professionals are knowingly killing people through omission of care, we know your chances of dying are greatly increased if given medical attention.
Yes, we know,
Its all a baaa complete coincidence:
“In December 2020, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published an interim report, looking at the use of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders during the pandemic.
The final report is due in February 2021, but the initial findings suggest an inappropriate use of the decisions dating back to the beginning of the pandemic, and possibly before. The question is therefore, were some deaths avoidable?”

NHSS – now just enforcers of Medical Tyranny.
Well said
NFIWTHM.
key: “H” means hieroglyphs
No data that has ever existed can justify restrictions.
No, data that never existed did justify restrictions.
Utterly corrupt, stupid, perverted with excess power. The Johnson imprint is clear to see.
No Opposition, No media, No Courts, no Challenge
“King of the World” psychopath Johnson in action – masked and waving a syringe – Xmas Day message: “Jesus wants you to take the booster”
However did we get here ?
Great … now get rid of the old restrictions.
They havent even started yet. Doomsday set for 2030. Wait until they really get going.
Cracking kaleidoscope. The pieces are in play now, but have not yet settled.
Another bent wazuk that can’t lay straight in bed.
People too busy enjoying themselves to get tested, just keep doing that and the scamdemic is over.
This is an interesting read. Makes a decent case that the Unions agitated for this…
http://whistleblowerphilosopher.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-road-to-lockdown_02121758366.html
Seen similar claims before. While I don’t doubt that there is some truth in it, I am not at all convinced that the unions forced the government to do it – they wanted to do it anyway (especially the SAGE bedwetters), and the behaviour of the unions just provided them with futher “justification”.
Absolute Bollox.
So the teaching unions are responsible for shutting down most of the world.
This guy is away with the faeries.
So the teaching unions are responsible for shutting down most of the world.
Such a claim is nowhere in this text.
You haven’t thought beyond the story he tells. Do you seriously accept that the teaching unions held this government to ransom?
Do you believe the same scenario panned out across the world?
Do you take the view that pubs, theatres, restaurants, sports facilities, libraries, churches,gyms, and restrictions on weddings and funerals are all down to some brain dead ex teachers?
As I stated at the top – “absolute Bollox.”
You haven’t thought beyond the story he tells.
Precisely. Which is why I’m not putting statements which came from my own fancy into the mouth of the author in an attempt to discredit the text, also called strawman fallacy. The texts restricts itself mostly to England and these parts are well-documented facts and conclusions drawn from them. It should be possible to argue against them in order to show what’s wrong with them.
My beliefs are immaterial here. I’m just pointing out that this text doesn’t contain what you’re trying to use against it (still true for the second statement).
“Improve Education – Let the Teachers go on strike for the right not to teach!” Then sack them!
They can all “leave them kids alone” and wear their putrid masks at home!
Teachers without a wage for two months? They would be pleading to be allowed back.
A minor point.
The author claims that USDAW, the shopworkers union, lobbied the government for a masks in shops mandate.
That may well be true but it’s what the government wanted anyway as an easy way to asses levels of lockdown compliance.
USDAWS members were not so keen, shopworkers abandoned masks as soon as they could.
.
No…they are too stupid!
Given the rumours that school children are going to be nasally raped en masse from Jan 4th I suspect this BS will change within the week.
Lying bastards.
Mass testing of children is essential to get those ‘case’ numbers nice and scary looking.
Yep. Which is why they are doing it.
Cause cases to impose lockdowns, drive mad to restore sanity, gang-rape to guarantee chastity, cause fear to dispel concern, test and trace to fuck the human race…
But cases were already high enough for Javid to have justified restrictions no? I feel something has changed.
Backbenchers making noises, and the fact that ‘cases’ aren’t translating into hospital admissions in the way the Covidians hoped!
Could it be the light is beginning to illuminate the madness and mendacity?
Carcinogenic contaminants on the swabs? How many nose bleeds?
Do the perpetrators of this offence actually ‘get off’ on this constant Nasal Testing perversion?
Any parent today with school-age children should seriously consider home-schooling if at all possible; in the long run, it would be worth the effort.
Indeed they should – schools it now seems are alienating environments no longer capable of keeping children ‘safe’. or secure – never mind suitable places where ‘education can take place.
One must calmly ask whether the country is now in the hands of psychopaths?
I still think they’re going to turn the screw, I no longer trust or believe any Govt Minister’s.
Yep.
Surely they realise this won’t go down too well with the RPTB.
Must brew up a definitely deadlier, more transmissible one soon.
Just imagine if it really turned out to be a really, really deadly virus –
Whitty et al wouldn’t have to lie.
The shock of actually telling the truth for once might do them irreparable harm…
What took you so long?
I’m sorry, but this just isn’t good enough. Somehow we must all do our best to get case numbers up, up I tell you. It’s outrageous that the NHS can’t be used as an emotional club to beat all those evil antivaxxers into compliance.
They must be forced I tell you, forced to take the vaccinations no matter the cost.
It’s your duty to protect me, I don’t care about your health but I must be protected at all costs. Line the kids up, hunt the brats down and vaccinate them. Employ big game hunters to target the miscreants from a distance if necessary, with vaccine darts.
If they run, it’s fun you know.
I don’t want the filthy little urchins near me, my life is far too valuable, I contribute more to society than anyone else so its essential I’m protected.
Masking isn’t good enough for you antivaxxers, you should be put in the stocks to be pelted with rotten vegetables, from a safe distance.
Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. That’s my watchword. I demand to be released from my civil service office attendance so I can isolate at home on full pay and pension. Who cares about all those silly little businesses, they should have thought about their future much earlier and taken a government job.
I can’t wait until the fourth jab is available as it’s safe and effective as well.
YOU ANTIVAXXERS ARE ALL SCUM I TELL YOU, SCUM!!!!
Totally agree – why leave your home to be confronted with humanity in its odious reality. Smelly puerile infectious people getting close to your sterile pristine purity. No way – lockdown, lockdown and total isolation is the way forward for humanity.
What the hell is plan A? A pay rise for the boys? Wink – wink….
While don’t they all F.O. for all the good they are doing?
No need for new restrictions, keeping the old ones? Pathetic hysteria
Awful how ‘restrictions’ hurt worst those who comply the mostest.
People believe that following guidance as if it were absolute truth will lead to safety, peace of mind, security, and even an end to this situation. But the goalposts keep shifting.
In reality nobody can follow all the rules consistently. The lethargic majority cut corners here and there – thus demonstrating their absurdity – but never compute their servitude.
Only a sudden violent event may rock the system. I think this outcome is increasingly likely.
Oh yes they will….
Exactly… death is after all the ultimate freedom!
“Covid: Workplace absences could reach up to 25% as PM drafts contingency plans“.
Is this what they call “blowback”?
Someone who thinks they’ve got “Covid” because they obediently stuck a probe up their nose every day for a fortnight until they eventually got a blue line indicating a “positive result”, and who then
walks around with their head in a paper bagstops going into work because they need to “self-isolate”, is now classified not as a sensible and public-spirited citizen, but as a “workplace absence”.Gotta see the funny side.
I could have told them the time would come when rather than getting a “We love you” letter from the queen or the prime minister, or even from their local GP, their only thanks would be a flying kick up the arse with a hobnailed jackboot.
I saw this from a ‘Julian French’ on a Sky News Australia YT video:
IMAGINE we were living in medieval times…. and you’d been invited to a royal banquet.
The ones in charge were extremely keen to get you to drink the wine. They were very insistent.
You’d probably assume the wine was poisoned.
“Drink this wonderful wine.”
“No thank you.”
“Be a good guest! Drink the wine. We uncorked it especially. It’s a beautiful and rare vintage.”
“No thank you. I appreciate the offer though.”
“Drink the wine. It’s very expensive but you can have a glass for free, and we’ll give you an extra plate of supper.”
“No I’m fine as I am.”
“Drink the wine and we’ll feed your entire village for a week and reduce your taxes.”
“Wow all that for wine? What’s in it? Still, no thank you.”
“We’ll make you a Duke.”
“Very generous but no thanks I’m content in my home.”
“You are not anti-wine are you????”
“No I just don’t feel like drinking this wine this evening.”
“Drink the damn wine or we’ll stop you working.”
“Eh?”
You notice they’re getting desperate now.
“We’ll ban you from markets.”
“Wow your tone has changed.”
“Now you need to drink 3 glasses or we’ll stop you riding your horse or seeing your family for the next year.”
“Wait, what? 3 glasses? Can’t see my family?”
“Did we say 3 glasses? We meant 3 bottles.”
“3 bottles?”
“Yes…every few months we want you to drink 3 bottles of this particular wine we’ve prepared indefinitely for the next years.”
“Years??”
Yes, or we’ll try you for treason.”
“Ok what is IN this damn wine that you are trying SO HARD to get everyone to drink it?”
“We can’t tell you. Trade secret.”
“It’s poisoned isn’t it?”
“No..it’s…ummm…it’s just really really good for you. It’s um, special healing wine.”
“Then why all the threats?”
“We just need you to… I mean we strongly encourage you to drink the wine so you don’t miss out.”
“But the Earl drank a glass and collapsed.”
“Unrelated.”
“No…like he was fine then had a glass then keeled over…he’s still on the floor writhing. Look at him! His face is blue and he’s clawing at his chest.”
“Coincidence. Guards…please escort the Earl to his chambers. He’s had too much wine.”
“I knew it was the wine! What about the rest of the court? Half of them also collapsed after the wine.”
“Those guests got ill from something else. Probably the chicken.”
“All at the same time?”
“You sure do ask a lot of questions! Guards! Guards… get this man his wine.”
“I don’t want it. What if something happens to me after drinking it?”
“We’re not liable for that.”
“Not liable for the wine you produce? I definitely don’t want it.”
“Drink your wine so everyone else doesn’t get a hangover.”
“Huh? That makes no sense. Maybe if they didn’t keep DRINKING they wouldn’t get HUNGOVER in the first place?”
“Look at these paintings of people drinking wine all over the gallery. Look how happy they look.”
“Paintings? Look, I don’t drink wine. I don’t want the wine. Even the idea of drinking this wine leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”
“Ah no matter if you don’t want to drink it.”
“Ok good. Let’s drop the subject now”
“You don’t have to drink it. We can pump it directly into your veins. You won’t even have to taste it”
“Wait, into my veins? Are you serious? I don’t want your damn wine!”
“TAKE THE DAMN WINE NOW! WE’VE ALREADY PAID FOR A WHOLE CRATE FOR EACH MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY! WE’VE SIGNED AN ONGOING CONTRACT WITH THE DISTILLARY! ANYONE WHO TALKS BADLY ABOUT THIS WINE WILL HAVE THEIR TONGUES CUT OUT! PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW DRUNK ON THE LAST BATCH WILL BE RECLASSIFIED AS SOBER AND MUST DRINK THE NEW BATCH! AND WE. WANT YOUR KIDS TO DRINK THE WINE TOO! EVEN YOUR BABY. SWAP HER MILK BOTTLE FOR WINE! SHE’S OLD ENOUGH FOR WINE NOW! AND YOUR PREGNANT WIFE! SHE NEEDS IT TO KEEP HER HEALTHY! EVERYONE DRINK THE WINE!”
THIS is how absurd the conversation is getting now.
Anytime anyone tries so hard to pressure you into something: it’s rarely if EVER because it serves YOUR best interests or because its good for you. More likely it’s in THEIR best interests.
Prester, I have a simple rule: if after saying ‘no’ once, anyone continues to try and ply me with covid wine, I tell them I am teetotal.
Sadly, too many are too timid to say ‘no’ in any way, shape, or form. It isn’t politeness to agree to being raped over and over again.
Exactly.
Simpler heuristic: Whenever somebody tries to scare you, he’s trying to coax you into something which is much better for him than for you.
An even simpler heuristic: always consider offers from other people as potentially unfair to you (the key is to observe that the initiative to enter transaction was not yours).
Every time!
End all restrictions immediately.
So, Whitty warned of 5,000 deaths a day (even 6,000) and got a knighthood.
If he’d warned of 50,000 deaths a day, would he have been made a Duke?
Refeudalisation. It’s coming, folks!
Duke Whitty of Turtlehead
They’ll certainly try. There is no guarantee they will succeed.
Might have to apply for that court jester position with Count Beckham after all.
Bring back hanging, drawing and quartering of traitors : “Behold, this is the head of a traitor”`.
Most of those receiving this justice were of course members of the Ruling Elite!
Duke or Puke?
Whitty is simply beyond any words of contempt.
The only ‘restrictions’ should be life sentences for complicit politicians, media and pharma complex who are killing young people with mandatory experimental genetic vaccines, many fine athletes included.

Enough have died now, where are the autopsy results? I’d hire a sky writer or project them onto big ben.
They managed to do an autopsy on an alpaca, yet how many have they done on people who “died of covid”?
As few as the can get away with !
They have banned and hidden the autopsy results to conceal their crimes!

Annie, you always make me laugh with the way you put it
Yes, she has a way with words
A man definitely not of these times….
What’s with the recent retreats? Are they trying to cut themselves loose from the ever growing elephant in the room aka horroundous vaccine side-effects? Going to be an interesting beginning to the New Year, still can’t figure out what their next move will be if not pushing people with more variants. Well done too all those resisting. I saw that Amsterdam was mayhem
Nobody knows if it’s a feigned retreat or a real one. I thing it’s feigned, but every new edict is beginning to look like desperation.
I think they have lost, in the long view, but we’re still in c. 1942.
Feigned – they are coming back wit more outrageous horror and scheming l ies!
No need for government either in my opinion, certainly not a “Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster” what ever that is.
Meanwhile, the biggest scam the world has ever seen continues, The COVID-19 Fraud with Dr Mark Bailey on Counterspin.
Johnson has amply demonstrated the virtue of abolishing tyrannical Governments and declaring creative, populist anarchy!
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is a Cabinet level post without a department to run.
It is given to someone either to shut them up or, as is likely in this case, to give them access power without the bother of having to do a proper job. They can spend ALL their time politicking on the PMs behalf.
No need for any restrictions.
Well, duh!

Dutch lockdown protesters MAULED by police dogs and hit with batons
https://mol.im/a/10362603
The Dutch have evidently had enough!
Dutch now set vicious dogs onto protesters – and attack them six onto one – just like1940 all over again! ( See videos)
Did they say this on exactly the same day new restrictions were announced (masks in schools) or just out slightly by a day?!
No need for further restrictions, at the same time the slap masks on school children again. But that’s OK, a recent poll suggests the majority actually enjoy the masking.
Hitler appeased/ignored the middle aged people whilst going after the young
@Backlash. I agree.
Those like me who are approaching fifty are not the target. The focus is on subjugating/conditioning the young, who will eventually be so cowed they’ll accept anything.
We need to actively fight any imposition or unfair restriction made on school-age children. Their resilience is lower than ours, so it’s up to us to act as proxy votes. If the rules apply to them but not us then we have a duty to object on their behalf, rather than be thankful we don’t have to comply.
They’re being actively trained to comply with the ‘new-normal’ – we’ll have shuffled-off/become obsolete in a few years, but for those few years we need to remain awake. I’m not a dad, but I am an uncle and I intend to fight this.
Lovely words.
I am not a Dad, I am nominally a Grandad, my wife’s son’s child, but by God I am not surrendering to this shit. It’s bad enough for my nieces and nephews but our grandson cannot fight. I must do my bit for him or admit I am a coward.
The progressives were always very clever at this.
They could have made life hell for my racist nan but instead left her alone knowing that she and her equally racist cronies would soon be dead as indeed they have been these past 40 years.
I encountered the first of the Polytechnic progressives in the 6th form at school. We didn’t use words like politically correct or woke. “Woolly thinking” perhaps.
We had to tell a new ‘0’ level economics teacher, wanker wanted to “be our friend”, to teach by the book or we would drop out of his subject leaving him with no job.
After that he left us alone, going for the younger kids in the classrooms down the hill that we never went near.
Democracy, Dutch anti-lockdown protester is MAULED by police dogs. Thousands attended an outlawed protest
Policing by consent, arrested for dancing, Dozens of police storm Glasgow pub suspected of breaking strict Scottish Covid rules Officers filmed shouting at punters to leave and wrestling people to the ground
Note: How the MSM never allow comments on police brutality.
Indeed the video is very shocking to see. – does Johnson watch eagerly and plan his own next moves?
We wait with interest to see his real plans to enslave and beat down the populace!
I don’t like saying this but the Plods are going to be in for a very rude awakening if they carry on like this. From their point of view they need to be careful because they don’t have the numbers. Seriously.
If sustained and multiple uprisings occur the cops are fucked. This isn’t Maggie fighting the miners at specific points like mines where London coppers were shipped to the Yorkshire coal fields. Half a dozen reasonable demos would soon have plod at breaking point.
Or perhaps there is a hidden reserve of young migrants being fitted for their uniforms daily?
Dutch plod clearly did not have the numbers in the street scene vids shown by the Mail.
Just in the orchestrated scenes with horses and vans in a largely empty park.
25 Officers, 6 vans for a routine visit?
Just two arrests and a pub closed for a day.
Senior Officers should arrest each other for wasting Police time.
I take your point about the Mail not allowing comments on this blatantly political action.
South African parliament burned down today in unexplained circumstances (e.g. fire alarm not sounding, firefighters having trouble with “building security”). Perhaps a little warning from TPTB for the legislators there for not taking care of sufficiently silencing their doctors during the first days of the omicron?
Next stop, an Enabling Act?
We already have it – read the small print of the Corona Virus Emergency Act – our dumb MPs didn’t even bother to read it!
History tells us it should be good for Eleven Years’ Brutal Tyranny before they are all brought down in flames!
I wondered when “measures” would be taken.
False Flag from te Globalist thugs? US involved?
More than likely.
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

absolutley no one has listened to me
Hi folks – often I see us falling into the trap of speaking about the justification of so called restrictions, or lack of. Please reflect when structuring your arguments, as germane as they may be, that these so called restrictions are not evidenced based and do nothing to cut transmission of the virus etc. So we are simply faced with a false premise. What needs to be be focused on is obvious to you folks I’m sure.
“get back to Plan A”.
Plan A, Plan B. Pfft! I don’t think so. Their only modes of operation are monkey-see-monkey-do, and full-on headless-chicken – as per the majority of those in charge around the world.
I honestly don’t know how we scrape by. We simply are not sufficiently evolved as a species to be able to responsibly look after ourselves and our planet. If we were faced with a real emergency, we’d be done for.
We ponce about, believing ourselves to be very clever and grown up. Actually, we haven’t got a clue. And it feels to me as though we are hanging on by our fingernails.
Cheer up you miserable get, there’s hope for us yet!

Yawn – just another no-mark Johnson fellow traveller Yes -BoyI
No-one gives a flying f*ck what he has to say!
Just get him out of our faces!
I’m slightly baffled by the current uk situation. It feels as though the government have somehow run out of road when it comes to covid and I can’t quite read the intention at this stage. I thought omicron was the coup de grace; the ‘variant’ that would be used to bring in all the tyranny we on this forum have feared for the last two years. Got extremely worried just before Christmas. And they got their beloved ‘case’ numbers up and made all the right noises to spook the public into quasi submission. But where to go from here? The word is definitely out that this ‘variant’ is milder and it feels like a missed opportunity to inflict more damage on the economy and to advance the medical apartheid their bosses seem to want. I don’t see much vilification of the unvaccinated anywhere (apart from in the Guardian); the tyrants seem to have lost their way… finding it hard to predict what comes next while this has generally been very easy thus far!
It was never going to be easy to use deception as the primary means of bringing about sudden and profound social change. Have they fucked it up and need to backpedal and distance themselves from the scam?
Same confused thoughts here. Tyranny plan seems to be off track. somewhat.
Optimistic:
Are they bailing out?
Did Johnson drag his feet long enough for the back benchers to get their teeth stuck in and peg him down so he could ignore the puppet masters?
Is Omnicon just not producing the goods?
Pessimistic:
They recognise the mood of the nation has changed and they need a new scariant to plough on.
Are we to except a twist in the Covid narrative?
Was this just a trial that’s proven to be far more successful then their widest dreams?
Do they have another ‘virus’ at the ready to deliver their plans (smallpox)?
I just don’t see them giving up on their Digital ID’s / CBDC’s that easily and any other attempt at the same story will be met with far less compliance.
Confused.com
They’re obviously not going to give up the idea of digital IDs anyway (they’ve been in the pipeline a long time and the latest paper was snuck out recently re a ”right to work and rent”). No doubt they’ll find something else to scare the Terminally Terrified with – perhaps starting panic buying and a ration system. Who knows?
Something wicked this way comes……..
It’s not about what they say it’s about.

The head of OneAmerica insurance said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.
“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.”
OneAmerica is a $100 billion insurance company that has had its headquarters in Indianapolis since 1877. The company has approximately 2,400 employees and sells life insurance, including group life insurance to employers in the state.
Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.
“And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said.
I wonder if they offer medical insurance too. And, if so, do they pay out for ”vaccine injury”?
Can you post this onto the main comments below as I think it is quite important. When private business has to pay for all of this, real pushback could begin; his comment that this increase is worse than a one in 200 year catastrophe is amazing: “Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.”
Well, there’s a well known saying “If a politician opens his mouth, he/she is probably lying”. It could be that they are covering their a**e and trying to weasel their way out if it. Carry on the good work with proper criticism of the whole lot!

But face masks in secondary schools is a new restriction
Now if he’d said ”There’s no need for ANY restrictions” that would have been acceptable. As it is – these people just spout the usual weasel words.
He’s posthumous by about two years re the need for no restrictions.
