Well that was unexpected. Wales First Minister Mark Drakeford – who has consistently erred on the side of totalitarian when responding to the pandemic – has said he would “not rule out” recruiting NHS workers from England who leave their jobs due to its mandatory vaccination policy. The BBC has the story.
Vaccines are not compulsory for NHS staff in Wales.
Mr Drakeford said a “vast majority” of care sector staff had also taken the “protections that vaccination offers”.
When asked if he would take on NHS staff from England, Mr Drakeford told BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House: “We wouldn’t rule it out but it would depend on what anybody said in an interview when they were applying for a job.
“We’re not going to make vaccinations mandatory in our NHS,” he said.
“We haven’t in our social care services because we have succeeded by persuasion by getting the vast majority of people who work in our services to do the right thing and take up the protections that vaccination offers.”
NHS staff in England must have a first jab by February 3rd and be fully vaccinated by April 1st to continue in frontline roles.
The U.K.’s Department of Health said there were no plans to delay and it was “the right thing to do to protect patients”.
Mr Drakeford said: “I don’t expect us to go looking for people who have not been vaccinated but, if people apply, then they would be interviewed in the normal way.
“We’d look to see what lay behind their decision.
“We wouldn’t rule them out but we certainly won’t be going out there looking for them.”
Come on Boris, when you’re being outflanked on freedom by Mark Drakeford you know you’ve gone wrong somewhere.

Boris out flanked on freedom? Huh? They’re all as bad as each other!
The first bit of common sense from Wales’ worst-dressed man in two years!!
He wasn’t such a big cunt when he was on Neighbours
Its a very generous offer Mr. Drakeford, but how many do you think would want to come and work for you? Its a bit like Russian dissidents volunteering to work in Siberian salt mines.
This man is a raving loon.
This prat used a good potential decision, however illogical, with what he has done in Wales, to show up Doris.
Ever looked at Brazil’s Covid performance?
This isn’t going to be pretty, folks; the downfall of a death cult rarely is.

Meanwhile, in the Democratic People’s Republic of Caledonia.
The devolved Daleks in Cardiff long ago all-but-exterminated the NHS in Wales. Dungford knows damn well that any further Nazi laws would remove the ‘all but’.
PS. So in the Gulag, unvaxxed NHS folk can work in a hospital, but not go to a football match. The Dung gang have a finely judged set of priorities, by golly.
Enjoy watching Mr Drakeford tap dance his way across the increasingly thin ice.
Someone save us from this dreadful poisonous, stupid and sad little man!
He missed his way by dodging a ‘career’ as a multi-gender Public Convenience Attendant.
He still volunteers in that capacity every other week (Covid measures permitting).
He abandoned a promising career in loo cleaning in order to become a
Public Inconvenience.
Very good – as usual.
YOUR LOSS IS OUR GAIN.
What “protections” do these ‘vaccines ‘ give me? The right not to be harrassed?
No! You may be required to take another at any time!
Really I can’t get a fucking shift as a Nurse in Wales due to my stance on this Horseshit.
Do you think there is something in the water perhaps?
There must be some logical explanation for the madness that seems to be currently infecting politicians at the moment.
I don’t know whats going on here? I really don’t. Everything seems so absurd I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I can’t seem to grasp their insane warped sense of thinking – everything they say seems to completely contradict everything they have ever said beforehand – its as if they have no capacity to self-reflect and think that no one can see the inconsistencies in their statements.
Its like 1984 on LSD.
I mean is it me or has the entire world gone completely f*cking loopy?
Nah mate. It’s not you. Unless you and I have both fallen down a rabbit hole.
I am drinking a beer. It’s one solution.
Ditto 🙁 Trully messes with the head.
Dr Mike Yeadon seems to think it’s all about an unimaginable evil global agenda of complete totalitarian control for the purposes of mass depopulation.https://www.bitchute.com/video/OnJVKHKWNFXp/
You know it won’t end here?
There’ll be separatist Covid polities in Macclesfield, Cumbria, and Chipping-Sodbury, each with their own rules and customs, years on into the future.
A Health League Party will put up candidates to keep the rules in place, and ‘remember our fallen heroes’.
Die-hard maskers will seize power in county towns; march with flags flying with Young Guards made up of covidian teens; and write drivel-histories of ‘their struggle’ to ‘live with covid’, having ‘beaten’ the antiwaxers.
More clownery to come, folks!
Never in Kafka’s wildest imaginings!!
Already surpassed them. Dungford is uglier than the beetleiest beetle you ever saw.
“United Kingdom”? More like the Zog Province of Planet of the Apes. Preposterous.
Here is Welsh First Minister “Lockdown” Mark Drakeford putting on his favourite shoes before going dancing … during the lockdown.
Pennywise Drakeford.
Drakeford has no choice but to support giving people a second chance.
Especially convicted rapists.
Hasn’t his son volunteered to work on a covvie ward for people of indeterminate gender?
Politics 😂 😂 😂
A man with no earlobes needing English specialists.
Welsh First Minister “Lockdown” Mark Drakeford puts on his favourite shoes … to go dancing, during the lockdown.
He is Elite, don’t you know?
(I know, it’s hard to believe.)
Glass houses and bricks
Whatever those protections may be at this moment.

It is claimed that an uncertain but clear majority of the population has been vaxxed and that this is what is allowing restrictions to be lowered.
This claim is accompanied by requests and demands that the remaining 10-20% (?) get in line to achieve complete victory.
One Adolf Hitler said precisely the same thing in a speech to Berliners, 20th August 1934, after what he claimed was a 90% election victory.
Here in English, @ 1 minute.
Sorry, can’t do links from Android but searching YouTube is easy enough.
National Socialist German workers party doesn’t sound at all capitalist to me.
So they can work there, but not go to the pub or to a restaurant. What a lovely life they would have!
Just nuts.
Wahayyyy … we’re all stark raving mad … gurgle ping cuckoo fertang all aboard last one turn the lights out!
There is probably a subagenda, in which the hapless English staff are lured to Taffydom. Once they get there, they will be required to partake of the Pfizer Poison, and thus be permitted a “passport”.
It would behove anyone tempted by this, to examine very carefully the conditions of employment, especially any clauses which might permit swift changes regarding “vaccination”.
You can go to pubs etc. in Wales if you’re unvaxxed, so long as you’re muzzled like everybody else Until you sit down, of course.
I asked a day or so ago whether the situation of NHS Trusts being independent employer entities migh make it possible for sacked unvaxxed health workers to move from one to another.
The response was not encouraging though this surprise possibly is.
I wonder how much the desire to just be different from England and put distance between themselves and Westminster plays into the decision making of Drakeford and Sturgeon.
But … that would be …… crazy.
It’s a good 99 per cent of what drives the fuckwits.
There’s no other sense in hell than making sure the other demons are suffering more than you, I guess.
