There follows a guest post by Daily Sceptic reader Nick Rendell, who is struck by the massive difference in reported infection rates between now and April 2021, and says the Queen is owed an apology.
What a difference a year makes. The sight of the Queen sitting alone in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle was one of the most poignant images of the pandemic. The things we had to do to keep ourselves and others safe. Only 30 mourners were allowed, everyone was masked. Never has the Queen looked so alone.
Contrast this with today’s memorial service at Westminster Abbey, packed out, no social distancing, not a mask in sight.
But that’s perfectly understandable, you might say. At the time of the funeral there was a pandemic raging whereas now infections, hospitalisations and deaths have massively abated. But is that actually the case?
I thought I’d check out the current rates and those prevailing on the date of Prince Philip’s funeral. The results surprised me. I wonder if the Queen will be told.
Currently, the Government dashboard shows around 86,000 infection reported each day (taking the most recent seven-day average on March 21st), 36 times higher than the 2,400 or so reported on April 17th 2021. The hospitalisation numbers are 14 times higher and the fatality numbers are seven times higher.
What to make of this? A few conclusions come to mind. Firstly, you might say everyone is a sceptic now, to judge by the transformed attitudes since last spring: sceptical about lockdowns, sceptical about social distancing, sceptical about masks. Secondly, we know that only the night before the funeral last year, there was revelry at No.10 Downing Street, so it’s clear those in Government knew there was nothing to be much concerned about then. Thirdly, while Omicron may be milder than Delta, the lack of concern about record high ‘cases’ and rising hospital admissions suggests people are realising lockdowns were an over-reaction.
Doesn’t someone owe the Queen an apology? Either the Government recklessly put her at risk today or else it unnecessarily denied her a proper funeral for her husband last year. The same goes for everyone else who, in good faith, has gone along with the pantomime which had passed for public health measures over the past two years.

I couldn’t give a Fcuk. Just get rid of the bloody lot of them.
Andrew first. Bagsy I get to throw the first egg.
Ostrich egg…….

Seems we said something, huxley.
Seems we did Marcus. The Windsors though are deeply embroiled in the Reset and therefore are not working for the good of the people of this country. I think the apposite word begins with ‘t’.
The cornish-imbecile rent seeker and his mum’s windmill subsidy-troughing are directly responsible for a lot of the cold old and poor people during bad weather.
Who cares if some extra plebs freeze to death, Andrew has sex offender fines to settle and Charlie has his eco lifestyle to maintain.
‘The Windsors’, aka The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Precisely.
They’re mostly getting on a bit, and all (I think) were born in UK, so why the ‘othering’? They’re not exactly recently immigrated. There’s rather more to criticise them about than the surnames of their ancestors.
Off to the Tower with you both … and you can join them, RedhotScot!
And every time I look there’s more. You know who you are.
Excellent response
Thank you.
A number of positive test results is not a number of new Sars-CoV2 infections. A number of deaths within 28 days of a positive test result is not a number of COVID deaths. A number of people who test positive upon admission to hospital for whatever reasons is not a number of COVID hospitalizations. There are no conclusions to be drawn from this triple-set of misrepresented numbers.
As to the funeral, that’s just a special case of Corona’s witnesses abusing the elderly for their own purposes. Why would they have more respect for the nominal queen of the country than for anybody else? She’s not an expert on anything.
‘She’s not an expert on anything.’
She is a past master at extracting free cash from the taxpayer.
Jesus you people are babies. The ways in which the Queen has been a boon to this country are uncountable. I couldn’t care less about the current generation, but the Queen…she’s worth her weight in gold. Princess Anne too. Even Charles to some extent. The Queen is a past master in extracting free cash from the taxpayer; go back to the lower sixth common room you child.
I was with you right up to that bit.
WE are owed more than an apology.

Although the media cleverly keep it a secret from us, the European Parliament is about to vote for universal mandatory EU covid passports. You will find the documentation in the appendix.
However, EU citizens have the right to send feedback, opinions and comments by 8 April 2022. The European Commission publishes all comments received on its website and analyzes them after the deadline.
Anyone who is interested in expressing (again, politely and factually necessary) disagreement can do so. It is possible to write for example:
“I do not agree with the extension of the obligation to provide a certificate of vaccination, test or recovery in connection with COVID-19 as a condition for exercising the right of free movement of European Union citizens.”
The website has the option to switch to Czech and comments can also be sent in Czech. To send an opinion, it is necessary to register or log in using logins on social networks.
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13375-Extension-of-EU-Digital-COVID-Certificate-Regulation_en
Disgusting legislation. I cannot use any word to describe their behaviour other than fascism. Good to see that there is lots of feedback and it is overwhelmingly negative.
The EU has been planning vaccine passports for years. The implementation date was 2022. All going to plan.
An apology may be appropriate when HMQ apologises for prancing about on a beach with visiting ‘dignitaries’, without a face nap or social distancing, while the rest of the country went to heck in the midst of the ‘pandemic’.
I sympathized with her back then but she in particular c/should for sure have set an example instead back then and tell them to GFY.
She and her cabal were and are most likely very much involved and complicit in the whole scheme, and her and their comments about those who defended and practised their right of bodily autonomy were simply a disgrace.
No apology.
Hear, hear.
Aye. Cue the thumbs down.
I think you’re winning them over. Either that, or royalists don’t have the stamina they used to have. Only two downticks for each of you.
Not sure the downtickers are necessarily ‘royalists’.
More hobbyists, I’d guess.
Absolutely.
Plus, it’s very much on brand for her, the personal sacrifice for the crown and the nation almost to the point of martyrdom.
If you don’t understand by now why counting ‘cases’ measured by these tests is utterly useless, then there is no hope.
“Queen Elizabeth II tells subjects not to be selfish and get a COVID-19 shot. Monarch says “think about others rather than yourselves” ”
“Contrast this with today’s memorial service at Westminster Abbey, packed out, no social distancing, not a mask in sight.”
That’s right, no-one needs face masks for a pandemic that never was. Or perhaps there is, in which case everyone in Westminster Abbey today was showing just how selfish they are – when they should be “thinking of others rather than themselves”.
Speaking of the actual ‘jab’ she says, ‘it didn’t hurt at all’. As though people who are refusing the clot shot are doing so because they are scared of a needle prick…..Sad to see someone of the queen’s stature so equally brainwashed (or complicit?) and simplistic.
Complicit
which batch did she get? mRNA? or saline?
I’m a fan of American college football. This past football season – with cases, hospitalizations, etc. also soaring – these games were played in front of packed stadiums. A year earlier, in the Big 10 and Pac 12 Conferences (plus most NFL cities), all games were played in empty stadiums. Think of the businesses that suffered from not being able to serve 50 to 100,000 fans on game weekends. Will these business owners get an apology?
Think of the athletes who play the games. In 2021, these athletes (from the girls track team to the men’s football teams) HAD to be tested up to four (or five) times every week. This is four times a week these student-athletes had to have a swab pushed to the back of their nasal passages.
Now, cases are even higher but no testing is required.
Many games were cancelled because too many athletes had tested positive, or (more likely) too many non-sick players had had a “close contact” with an asymptomatic teammate. Will someone apologize to these athletes who didn’t get to play a game they loved for no good reason?
Early in the pandemic, baseball and basketball seasons were cancelled. Is anyone going to apologize to the high school seniors who didn’t get to play the sport they loved in the last year most of them could play organized sports?
All of these decisions were made by members of university and league “Health Advisory Panels” consisting of the most esteemed scientists, doctors and academics American higher education could produce.
Commissioners of sports leagues routinely fined coaches and athletes for not following protocols such as wearing masks or not getting vaccinated. We know that none of these protocols saved any lives because no college or pro athlete has died from COVID in two-plus years.
Nobody died when the mandates were being enforced and nobody has died since the protocols were discontinued.
There has not been one “super spreader” event traced to attendance at any athletic event.
If NOTHING had been done to “slow” or “stop” the spread of COVID, athletes, coaches and fans would have been just as safe as they are today.
But, boy, did these university presidents, league commissioners and town mayors have fun enforcing their control over massive numbers of people.
They were all wrong – and, yes, some of us knew they were wrong 18 months ago – but you can’t say that. Most of these “leaders” will be celebrated as heroes of the pandemic.
Will any of them ever apologize? Ha!
“A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.”
Terry Pratchett
It wouldn’t have happened had enough people decided not to bother complying. Unfortunately, the MSM propaganda was intense and much of the public (including sportspeople) were convinced that they would die if they didn’t follow the guidelines – no matter how laughable they seemed.
True, and to me that was the most scary side of the whole affair. It tends to suggest that many of us are easy prey for certain organisations that persuade us to join up on their side – perhaps in a war of some kind.
The “rules” have been nasty, irrational, licenced sadism, and even the highet in the land have been victimised. Boris Johnson, as Prime Minister, is received by Her Majesty for regular audiences, and he must have lied on multiple occasions. To lie to the monarch is enough to ensure that he never holds political office ever again. He will drag down all the collaborators with him, but they will be squealing at a deafening pitch as they sink.
Boris could tell the monarch that he intended to cull the population with the help of Bill Gates and I doubt she would muster so much as a fart by way of protest.
The irony. Her approach is to make the monarchy ornamental which is precisely what makes it pointless except as a tourist attraction.
I propose we get rid of them, give the Buckingham Palace and they can run it as a B&B. That might mean we never get lockdowns again as they would risk being put out of business like all the other hostelries around the country.
At least that would have been the truth?!
The rules may have been irrational in their logic, but they were rational in their effect.
Maybe the Queen – defender of the faith – owes us an apology for allowing her government to ride roughshod over her people whilst doing nothing to stop an alien, barbaric culture to gain an ever stronger foothold in the UK.
“Number of migrants to cross English Channel in small boats this year passes 4,500 mark with more than 3,000 people arriving this month alone – triple the amount in March 2021”

Her namesake with Drake in 1588 defeated an armada of 130 ships
Her father with Churchill in 1940 saw off the invasion in the Battle of Britain
But in 2021 Elizabeth II with Turkish/American Johnson allowed England to be invaded by over 30 thousand illegal immigrants without Johnson lifting a finger to prevent this invasion, rather spending £5 million a day putting them up in 4 star hotels.
The length of her reign only helps to show up her legacy with the help of her ministers of seeing her country turned into a Ruritanian theme park
Which “alien, barbaric culture”?
The left.
Is there any other?
She’s going to be succeeded by a man who sees himself as ‘defender of the faiths’.
Just as well he’s not a defender of the faith implicit in marriage! I’m not by any means virtuous, but his antics before and during his 1st marriage struck even me as a tad hypocritical. And the thought of his wacky green ideas being given wider attention as King is even more worrying.
Defund the monarchy after Queenie has kicked the bucket!
Sssshhh… Don’t say too much because you can bet your bottom dollar that rather than apologise to the queen, or anyone else for that matter, the control freaks would impose another lockdown.
The monarchy are just a mafia family, the current wheeze is to rip off the plebs with the green energy con, the Royals are making millions from renting the sea bed to the offshore windfarms and by leasing their land for solar and windfarms.
They are creaming in the subsidy profits whilst untold numbers of mere mortals can’t afford basic energy.
When the current monarch pops her clogs we should disband the monarchy and have Land of Hope and Glory as our anthemn, can you imagine singing God Save the King for that globalist eco tw@t Charlie?
Nice one Mr Tea.
From the comments, I think we can conclude that the readership here doesn’t agree with the premise in the title!
She could have spoken out against it all. She didn’t. In fact, she supported it. So is definitely not due an apology.
HMQ does have a family business to protect. If her actions often look like that’s her aim, why the surprise?
So did the rest of the family with their visits and zoom calls to the jabbing centres. THAT most of all sickened me.
They’ve vaxxed all those who will agree be vaxxed and the damage is mostly done, so they can drop most of the theatricals. Was the HM part of the theatre anyway?
Are they though?
Who’s to say that TPTB weren’t given placebos?
For goodness’ sake, the Queen is a big girl and could have insisted the funeral be conducted as planned long ago. I thought she was a down to earth tough old bird? A dignified state funeral with all the attendant liturgical ceremony would have given the country, I don’t know, a needed reminder of Divine Providence? or if nothing else, a beautiful, nostalgic diversion.
That photo of the Queen muzzled alone in that stall was absolutely pathetic and depressing. It exposed her part in this diabolical charade.
She owes, rather than is owed an apology.
I lost what little respect I had for Queenie when she said that ‘refusing the vaccine was selfish’.
The Royal Family is imploding; Charlie boy has gotten all cudley with the Greens, and is promoting the global warming agenda; Andy Pandy’s a paedo; the cuckoo ginger bullet magnet has married a narcissist and fecked off abroad, and Katie and Billy Boy are towing the line, attempting to steer a sinking, rudderless ship.
The only one worth her salt, is Annie.
Billy is a chip off the old block, full of green crap and dare I say it not always faithful to his lovely wife.
Cambridge certainly gets my vote over Cornwall, a no bagger vs a 2 bagger!
They’re toeing the line, unless they’re moonlighting as bargees.
The last two years have (to my mind at least) provided more and more evidence that the monarchy has passed its sell-by date (do they still print sell-by dates on monarchs?). Even the words ‘President Blair’ have ceased to have the same chilling effect on me.
All I see are parasites and predators.
Go ahead and clap like a seal for these lizards.
I’m neither a follower nor a subject.
Get on the floor and grovel to the Queen, then. Wow, it only takes a bit of pressure to be eased off and our privileged classes think they’re back in the running for a knighthood.
She can get an apology from me when she gets us our country back. During her so-called reign it’s been given away to globalists and third-world migrants in equal measure. I only recognise her as our monarch inasmuch as she’s the head of our nation and there won’t be much of a nation left after she’s been in post.
I was a loyal royalist for many years, until about ten years ago when I was kind of on the fence. About five years ago I realised I only had time for the Queen because I figured she had been through a changing world and managed it with dignity.
Then she made the remarks about COP26 when she said ‘why don’t they just stop talking and get on with it’ (paraphrasing). Where was her impartial support for sceptics like me? That was it, I’d had enough of them all.
Now this. When she could have stepped into a situation that wasn’t a political issue (although it was politicised) and defended the rights of all her subjects to choose as they wish and maintain the freedoms she’s supposed to represent, she ducked out.
So other than as a tourist attraction, what use is the royal family to the country? Not one of them has a shred of credibility or dignity left.
But then why would we expect a German/Greek family to have any loyalty whatsoever to this country anyway? And that’s with the greatest of respect to ordinary Germans and Greeks, they clearly didn’t want them.
I agree with the majority of your post, RHS, apart from this; “Not one of them has a shred of credibility or dignity left.”
Princess Anne has always shown decorum, and, as figurehead of the SRU, attended every home game at Murrayfield.
She has a criminal conviction for allowing her dogs to bite a pleb. She didn’t have them under control or care that they were harassing someone else.
Really? Decorum? She’s taken the easy option and stayed quiet.

Don’t forget the role that the Church played in supporting the stupidity of masks and serving the new God COVID and it’s high priests Whitty and Ferguson.
The Established church of which HMQ is the head.
“Owe the Queen an apology”???
“Transformed attitudes since last spring”???
Really?
The infections will increase as the jabs increase. I wonder when the reality of the these poisonous injections will finally be understood. So many sick people declaring how ill they would have been without their jabs. Not realising they were healthier before their course of injections.
The programme of depopulation is now well underway. The language, as usual, has been used to confuse and train the mind. If someone told me the polio vaccine hadn’t worked and zi would need a yearly booster, I would step back immediately and ask the question why?. I wouldn’t blindly let someone administer a foreign substance into my body and my immune system.
As far as the Queen is concerned, she has deeply let down this country. My support of Monarchy has gone completely. I want a written constitution that includes the ownership of guns. I want the Church reinstated well away from any Government authority and I would like as little Government as possible.
Heres maybe why!
C’mon, guys. It was a staged photo. See also staged slap filmed from one angle.
Yawn.
If I recall the Queen joined in with the calls for damning the unvaccinated and used a term of abuse against them. The Queen said and did nothing to uphold the freedom and democracy of this country, she did not speak out about the locking up of the elderly in care homes without visitors, I suspect Prince Philip was not subjected to the same level of inhumanity, likewise she did not speak up about the masking of children, the abuse levelled at them for Killing Granny,
I once respected the Queen, I believed she stood up for the British way of life, I now see that was just a story. How can we apologise to someone who supported the inhumanity and who was in a position of influence which could have changed things but chose to remain silent.
The f’wits who did this to us will never apologise. They’ll go to their graves insisting that lockdowns were a justified reaction to “a novel coronavirus” (cooked up in a Chinese lab with US and UK money).
Looks like Andrew’s shed a few pounds, what with all the worry.
She doesn’t need an apology…..she was just playing her part in this evil charade!!
She needs to apologise to the people she called “selfish” for being properly cautious about a poorly cobbled together gene therapy.
What good are apologies now to any of us who have known since very near the start of the first insane lockdown that it was the wrong thing to do? Will it compensate the children who have lost education? Or the mourners who couldn’t say goodbye to loved ones? Or to all of us who are saddled with billions of debt? Or those who are suffering mentally in all sorts of ways ? Are Johnson, Whitty, Vallance, and Ferguson, SAGE and NERVTAG, together with the unit who deliberately initiated Project Fear going to be imprisoned for their criminal behaviour? What about the hundreds of police who hassled innocent members of the public and fined and terrified them? I hold out no hope for the truth coming out in the public inquiry. What is the answer? I don’t know but it makes me very angry
Forgiveness, yes (from a religious perspective) from us, their victims; apology from the other side – no. It’s a waste of time. They will have to work hard to regain the confidence of many of us. They have lost the lost the plot, and lost the reputation they had in the past.
Ask a psychologist, but essentially, forgiving the culprits is good for us, but their apology means nothing. We’ll find out how they operate in due course.
Whether anyone is a traditionalist or republican it was still inhuman to force family members to separate during important events such as funerals. I would have thought that this family would have spent close time together away from public eyes, so this was theatre and the Queen probably doing what she thought was her duty to ‘lead by example’. Not only the Queen needs an apology but all those that had to suffer these indignities.
