Antony Worrall Thompson Puts Sign on Pub Saying “Unvaccinated Welcome”

1 min read

Celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson has put a sign on his pub the Greyhound in Oxfordshire that makes clear the unvaccinated are welcome. It says: “We do not discriminate. Race, gender, age, disability, vaccinated or unvaccinated. Everyone equal here. Everyone welcome.” The BBC has more.

The TV chef, who opened his first restaurant in London in 1981, used to appear on the BBC’s Ready Steady Cook, and came fifth on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2003.

He told the BBC: “I’m doing it [having the sign up] because I don’t want to discriminate against anyone.

“At the end of the day we’ve done our time, we’ve done two years of this, lockdowns and various things and precautions, and I think it’s time to move on.”

Asked if it was irresponsible, he answered: “I don’t think it’s irresponsible at all. You know you have the choice. Freedom of choice to get vaccinated, freedom of choice to come to the Greyhound.”

He added: “I agree with people getting vaccinated. I’m not an anti-vaxxer… to me if you don’t want to get vaccinated, if you don’t want to put chemicals into your body, it has to be your choice.”

Worth reading in full.

Anthony W T has gone up in my estimation. As a Cornish person, I took great offence at his recipe for pasties! He’s now redeemed himself imo – let’s hope more people in hospitality do the same – it’s the only sensible thing to do. However, if you want to make a good Cornish pasty…

Quick question. Has the video of a call reported to be from St Richard’s Hospital been proven genuine or fake as yet ? If genuine it’s very compelling, but seems way too obvious to be true…

Slowly, like cold treacle running off a spoon the day is approaching when all covid accounts will be settled. Men like Piers Morgan, David Starkey and Andrew Neil are very much on the “flush down the toilet” end of the spectrum. Turns out Anthony Worrall Thompson is on the “go to his pub and support him end” of it.

Ivermectin help reduce the severity of vaccine adverse reactions. If someone is suffering from a post vaccine syndrome, FLCCC clinicians and a growing network of colleagues have reported significant clinical responses to ivermectin. Because Ivermectin has 5 different mechanisms of action against coronaviruses, the medication is also effective with the different variants of the virus. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Well, good for him, but our current local, too, is a haven of non believers, and always has been since we’ve been going there. People standing around at the bar, chatting, not a face mask in sight. I don’t even think they’ve got one of the checking in code thingies – well, I’ve not seen it anyway.
However, we moved to this pub after our previous regular haunt demanded I wear a mask to walk to my table, despite being exempt with a heart condition. The landlady said she was concerned I might give her covid! We walked out and have never been back.
I really appreciate the fact we have many pubs to chose from, living not far from lots of villages. But how long will the po faced up yer arse covidian adherents last? Surely everyone prefers pubs that still have the feeling of pre March 2020? A pox on the killjoy pubs.

Nice touch providing there are no requirements to ‘prove a negative test’ or other such bollocks.

To be fair, those not jabbed up are generally more relaxed, cheerful and fun, so the experience would be far more pleasant.

Moreover, if the policy drives away the miserable jabbed up the the eyeballs cultists, it’d probably be a lot safer, too. The less compromised immune systems floating about the better.

Good day.

I wrote to them, months ago, to ask why there was not a skerrick of complaint or action from them, as democracy, freedom, human rights, bodily autonomy etc. were being destroyed or expunged throughout Western democracies in what is now ludicrously called “The Free World”.

Answer came there none.

Perhaps, now, they can pull the digit out and start doing something about the horrors on their front doorstep and in their back yard.

Sorry I just dont buy into this argument that anywhere – least of all India – has been “saved” from Convid with ivermectin. First of all, if Convid is real – an unsubstantiated assertion with no verifiable evidence to back it up – it has a 99.97percent plus survival rate in the under 70s from natural immunity. So the notion that putting everyone on ivermectin is the way to go seems somewhat odd to me. Im in the UK where supposedly weve had some of the worst Convid on Earth – the only problem with that is that its been completely undetectable in day to day life and there has been no remarkable upticks in death or disease due to respiratory illness. Weve got plenty of evidence of the government intentionally killing people, but no evidence of a like never seen before virus sweeping through killing and causing disease on an unprecedented scale. That is complete nonsense and merely part of the scam – to make people FEEL like there is a disease of that nature via MIND CONTROL via the CRIMINAL MEDIA NETWORKS. The government has cut the tape for the Covid funfare, allowed everyone in to the funpark,… Read more »

I’m not sure why he had to say anything, really. Surely the default position is that his establishment is open to all anyway. I’ve not gone to any pub or eatery that has specifically required proof of vaccination – not that I’d go in one that did,

Have you seen the analysis in the Anals of Internal Medicine that shows the flu jab offers no benefit?
Which means the flu jab only offers harms (which is does very often).

The Effect of Influenza Vaccination for the Elderly on Hospitalization and MortalityAn Observational Study With a Regression Discontinuity Design
Objective:
To determine the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine in reducing hospitalizations and mortality among elderly persons by using an observational research design that reduces the possibility of bias and confounding.
Results:
The data included 170 million episodes of care and 7.6 million deaths. Turning 65 was associated with a statistically and clinically significant increase in rate of seasonal influenza vaccination.
However, no evidence indicated that vaccination reduced hospitalizations or mortality among elderly persons.
The estimates were precise enough to rule out results from many previous studies.

It is the status quo and law anyway.
So why would it be irresponsible?
Medically it can’t be, as the GTs don’t prevent infection, nor transmission, to the contrary even, and as the gene-therapied are just as infectious have the same viral load and are more prone to be asymptomatically infectious and thereby superspreaders. Transmission in restaurants is minimal anyway, a low single digit percentage of the total.

What’s really irresponsible is to be so misinformed and so morally bankrupt as the questioner is.
ANY discrimination is WRONG and advocating for one is highly irresponsible and more.

Most people that are pro vaccine (the old sort) have never looked at the evidence relating to vaccines.
Most simply believe that the old school vaccines are safe and effective because they have been around for a while and most people inject them into their kids.
I don’t know of anyone that has actually researched vaccines, listened to the sceptics, and come away thinking that vaccines are a good thing.

Linked is footage from the WHO in 2019 where they had a meeting of the top vaccine experts in the world to discuss vaccine hesitancy and why so many Doctors were rejecting vaccines.
If you can watch this, understand the admissions they make and still approve of vaccines then the only explanation is that your brain is wrecked from the aluminium they have already injected into you.

Yes, I totally agree with you.

I’ve been an anti-vaxxer for 35+ years, and am very proud to be so. Way back then, I carried out a great deal of research into those things termed ‘vaccines’ (using the things called books…), and discovered a veritable wealth of medical, scientific and historical evidences/data/facts which demonstrate conclusively that ‘vaccines’ are indeed immensely dangerous, and a medical scam. A scam which the gullible, naive masses unfortunately fall for.

The last time I had a ‘vaccine’ was when I was a kid of 12/13 years old, ie, 50 years ago.
Ie, when I THEN had no knowledge re. the actual nature and dangerousness of ‘vaccines’.
I wouldn’t go within a million miles of ANY ‘vaccine’.

I’ve been using natural substances daily (vitamins, etc) for my health care for more than 30 years.

Yes, it’s an excellent book! I read it two or three years ago.

I also, mid-way through 2020, made gifts of it to several of my immediate relatives and their spouses, here in the UK, also to some friends. My younger sister (she’ll be 61 tomorrow, as it happens) and her husband refused to look at it… her very words to me were “But we’re just not interested…”. Yes, words fail me, too.

My younger brother’s wife (she’s 36, 19-20 years younger than him) was thrilled to receive the gift. In approx. July/Aug. last year, she said to me, re. the book, “What an eye-opener…”.
AND YET… and yet, she was so excited to roll up her sleeve and have the current injections…!! Months before they were ‘rolled out’, I’d provided my family members and friends with a very great deal of trustworthy, factual info. re. what’s REALLY going on, worldwide, and sent them links to many, many articles, and links to videos featuring many honest doctors around the world who were issuing dire warnings to people NOT to submit to these injections.

But all my family members (and most, but not all, of my friends) chose to ignore that… Read more »
