We were due to have an Ocado shop delivered at 10pm last night. When my wife and I found out they were actively discriminating against employees who have decided to not have the vaccine we immediately called and told them to cancel it. Our order was already on the van but we told them to take it all back and refund our money. I have written an email to their CEO to tell her how disgusted we are with them and that we will never shop with them ever again.
I did exactly the same from Poundland. And they don’t even deliver.
Yesterday’s friendly peaceful event was a great success.

I had a delivery on Wednesday, I have written to them and told them it was my last. Despicable behaviour.
Doing the same with Next – even if they row back they can do one.
Wow, good on you all! Vote with your feet. I’ve done the same and removed my custom from businesses that have extreme policies on covid hysteria, or who refuse to take cash. Oh, and the TV Licence.
Excellent. I salute you!
Utter bastards. It’s all so hideously warped and demented.
Face masks make people look more attractive? Well, maybe to another face nappy-wearing cuck they do. Call me old fashioned but I prefer people with naked, exposed faces!
Nerve yourself and read the foul thing. What the ‘researchers’ are actually saying is that zombie women like muzzleoids because the muzzle makes the she-zombie feel saaaafe. I presume,therefore, that the blue panties score highly because the.propagandists push them as saaaafe. It’s nothing whatsoever to do with good looks, sexual attraction, or anything else about human beings that a sane person would find ‘attractive’.
Ha,ha, I did! It’s seriously messed up. Still, can’t expect anything less from the Guardian. Way back in May 2020 they were heavily pushing the muzzle, saying something like “isn’t it about time you wore one!” They were promoting it as such a wonderful thing. They just about stopped short of saying it would make you look younger, thinner, ridiculously attractive to the opposite sex, and miraculously grow your hair back it you were bald…although that seems to be the line now!
Some have a habit of wearing them. Yesterday, a guy came to do a little job on the house, and as he came in he automatically went ahead to put his nappy on. I just told him that you don’t need that here, so he didn’t bother.
Thankfully he did not bother to wear it and wasn’t one of those who are scared.
Narcissus projection.
In sure it makes some people more attractive. But then so would a paper bag e.g. Whitty, Blair, Pelosi, Gates
What do 3 specific genetic sequences found only in HIV have in common with 1 specific genetic sequence only found in Moderna Patents from 2018 have in common?
They’re all found together in the spike protein!

Police are not investigating the “work gathering” at 10 Downing Street:WHY NOT?
Oh, silly me!, they were busy clamping down on us sceptics.
Lileco lad. Bunter certainly has made better calls in the last 6 months but the real damage is done and due to the insanity of 2020. Part of that insanity will cause his demise. That rule the lamentable Dowdon was gleefully telling the nation about was anti health and well-being.
Bunter was in charge when a whole raft of pointless rules, among one of the most draconian shutdowns in the world was set up. The policy totally failed and that will in the end be widely seen, have no doubt about that.
This will warm the cockles of your ears: ‘BBC Radio Scotland presenter Kaye Adams shocked by political commentator Kate Williams delivering Covid truth bombs’
This whole thing about sick pay puzzles me.
How can a company unilaterally, and presumably without consultation, decide to cut contractual sick pay?
My contract lays out clearly my entitlement to sick pay. It only refers to being sick; it does not define the nature of that sickness. It’s not conditional on anything, except length of service (longer employment brings longer periods of entitlement). Presumably other jobs and other contracts have something similar.
So how can companies turn round and cut sick pay in this way? Surely that is breach of contract, or am I missing something? Where are the unions in all this? Why are they silent? And fellow workers….surely they should realise that if management get away with this, they will be emboldened to try something else that might adversely affect everyone? So much for solidarity, eh?
It’s evil. But they only care about saving money.
It’s not money.
I believe the board members think they may get invited to better parties if they virtue signal risking the shareholders exposure to legal employment breaches.
To me it’s downright criminal. They are pushing you now to take a medical procedure to continue the right to have the full sick pay you are entitled to, under the terms of your contract. Isn’t that a form of coercion? If you agree to take the jab under duress, isn’t that an offence of “assault and battery” being committed by the employer? I don’t know the law but if you need further information try https://www.laworfiction.com/
Class action lawyers are, no doubt, rubbing their hands!
Yes, I was going to post essentially the same. It can’t be lawful.
Oh so the less well off in the Philippines are more to worry about then in any Euroepan contry which has done the same?

This divsion of socity is not good. At one timethis was comared with what the Nazis did. The media etc cried foul and it was reduced. Now time to step up the campaign to remove combat this foul idea.
Andrewgate?
A good day to bury bad “Downing Street” news?
That’s my Ocado online shopping cancelled, won’t be part of the segregation of this country
I see Novak Djokovic’s Visa has been cancelled. The Australian “Health Minister” did so on grounds of “health and good order”. Novak can appeal.
Well, if I was him, I would leave the country. The Aussies seem determined to get him, one way or another. I’d leave while I still could, but I’d give a real stonker of a press conference, really lay into them for their illogical, discriminatory and totalitarian behaviour.
I’ve never been interested in tennis, but I’m cheering for Djokovic from now on.
Just use MasterCard.
Really surprised there isn’t a piece ATL about the revelation of MI5 warning the Chinese Communist Party are infiltrating Westminster and have been for a number of years.
For more than a decade, I’ve been shouting from the rooftops that the UK is creeping into communism – this, I believe, is now vindication.
Crucially, it isn’t just this one woman who they’re aware of and are warning there are other agents at work.
It’s also crucial to pay attention to the fact the Chinese are not just targeting one political party, but the whole lot of them.
This is bigger than Pfeffel’s parties, it’s the most scandalous indictment of British politics.
Sorry downthumber, the nazis haven’t risen from the grave. When there’s an ever growing stack of proof that the ills of our people is being caused by communists, it’s important to identify the threat.
Despite all this, face masks are to stay according to the stories obvious planted by government in the Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph, beyond 26 January. And we still have these ridiculous tests, extra isolation for unvaccinated and discrimination in the workplace.
Don’t be fooled into thinking Boris is the libertarian or his scandals make him less likely to keep restrictions. The truth is the opposite. He’s weak so daren’t loosen restrictions for fear of further criticism.
Not related to today’s Roundup, but:
Djokovic looks to be headed back to the heartbreak hotel following the Aus immigration minister exercising his power to overrule the decison of the court.
On 14 January Australia’s Immigration Minister Alex Hawke announced that Djokovic’s visa was cancelled on “health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so”.
It has now been suggested that Novac may have one last potential option – to apply for a bridging visa. But I say, bin it. The gov, and probably many Aus people clearly don’t want him there. It will be difficult for Novac to walk away; it’s a loss for him, Australia, tennis/sports fans; a loss for everyone actually, that this sort of stupidity and vindictiveness occurs so routinely and casually. But he surely has to let it go now?
French BFMtv reporting that the Novax guy is being heard in court today, a judge is going to study what’s up.
this news from a few days ago suggests coincidentally that “it’s very hot” for certain tennis players https://freewestmedia.com/2022/01/10/three-players-drop-out-of-australian-open-with-chest-issues-while-djokovic-awaits-his-fate/
“Face masks possibly make very ugly people look more attractive, study finds”
There, fixed it.
Has anyone been able to find any more on Sally Beck’s Tweet about Justice Swift’s denial of the application to ONS to release information on post-injection deaths of children? It’s eluded me, although I’ve not devoted a great deal of time to it. For someone describing herself as an ‘Old skool print journo’ it is somewhat negligent of Sally not to include a link to a source. I’ll reserve my outrage until I see more.

The Female Reproductive Issues reported to VAERS. This is so important for our bloody species. I still cannot believe that this is what I am doing with my time – trying to convince humans why it’s a good idea to consider what is contained in a syringe that has been connected to an unprecedented number of adverse events in every adverse event collection system in the world.
The reason for the excessive proportion of events reported in 0-5 year olds comes about due to the small denominator – ‘only’ 11,791 babies aged 0-5 have been injected so far in the States. Of the 10 babies aged 0-5 in VAERS, 9 are in the Foreign data set (aka: the hiding place) and [warning – do not read this if you are prone to puking] a 5-month and a 6-month old baby succumbed to ‘Vaginal haemorrhage’. The 5-month old is referred to as having ‘Menstruation irregular’.Out of these 10 babies, only 3 recovered. That means that 7 died
No, Andrew Lilico, it is not defending Kim Jong Johnson to say his successor might be even worse.
Battleground Melbourne is excellent – although I had seen all the footage before, I was increasingly drawn in to the human story. There is real tension and poignancy. Recommend you to watch to the end. I also think we need to do more to support our ‘family’ in Australia with donations or practical support via Parliament / the Australian Embassy.. I’d love it if Toby could help organise something.
