The extremely creepy Santa-died-from-Covid John Snow Project video has left many both puzzled and outraged. David Bell, for instance, described it in a tweet as “using Christmas to promote pharmaceutical sales”.
But what about not just exploiting Santa and Christmas to promote COVID-19 vaccines, but exploiting Christ and Christianity itself?
Consider the below cover of the German mass-circulation weekly Stern from December 23rd, 2020. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine had become the first COVID-19 vaccine to be authorised in the European Union two days earlier on December 21st; rollout of the vaccine in Germany would start the day after Christmas.
The main title reads “Vaccination: An Act of Brotherly Love”. It already thus suggested what would become the underlying premise of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign as the latter gradually morphed into a campaign of not just mass vaccination but virtually universal vaccination: namely, that even persons who are at little or no risk from the illness should still get vaccinated to somehow protect others.
Note how the vial in the Stern cover-image is turned so that “BioNTech” is in the centre and clearly legible, whereas the lettering of “Pfizer” is compressed by the perspective and the curve of the vial. The rest of the world might be confused about whose “vaccine” this really is and mistakenly believe that it is Pfizer’s. But in Germany there was never any doubt that it is BioNTech’s product.
In Germany, the vaccine was thus presented not as God’s gift to humankind, but literally as humankind’s gift to God. And this meant Germany’s gift to God, since it was developed by a German company which, perhaps not coincidentally and as discussed in my first article on BioNTech here, had been promoted and kept afloat by the German state ever since the time of its founding in 2008. Indeed, as discussed in my article, BioNTech’s very founding was sponsored by the German state.
This sacralisation of the BioNTech vaccine upon rollout may help to explain why, while all the other Covid-vaccines which were rolled out at roughly the same time have either been withdrawn from the market (Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca) or had their use restricted (Moderna), the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine has remained entirely untouched by regulatory action. The sacred vaccine has necessarily to be without fault.
Even when some fault is admitted by regulators or in scientific journals, the invariable conclusion is that the benefits outweigh the risks. How indeed could it be otherwise? This conclusion appears to be literal, unquestionable dogma. To question it is to be a heretic and to find oneself censored or banned by a new inquisition.
And note that we are still required to draw this conclusion even though it is now widely admitted, even by the German Minister of Health, that the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine does not provide the benefit it was authorised to provide: namely, it does not prevent COVID-19.
It is impossible to escape the impression that inoculation with the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine has become an end-in-itself. It is a sacrament which the faithful are expected periodically to perform.
Some have tried to explain the remarkable deference towards this drug as an effect of ‘regulatory capture’, and some sort of ‘capture’ must indeed be involved in the USA, for instance. But in Germany, no capture was needed, since the German state has always been the sponsor of BioNTech and its product.
Indeed, as discussed here, the German vaccines regulator, the PEI – which is responsible for batch release of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine throughout the European Union – has acted more like a partner of BioNTech, enabling the development and commercialisation of its drug, rather than an arms-length regulator overseeing it. The outgoing president of the PEI, Klaus Cichutek, who announced his retirement last week, has even published a paper with BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin on developing a Coronavirus vaccine.
Cichutek, moreover, has boasted that “we are the EMA” – i.e., the German PEI is the EU regulator, the European Medicines Agency – “since we’re doing the scientific work there”.
This implies in turn that the German PEI has done the “scientific work” underlying the authorisation of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine not only for the entire EU, but even for a country which has left the EU: namely, Great Britain. This is because the British authorisation is nothing other than a rebranded version of the EMA authorisation, as can be seen here (bottom of page) and below.

So says the richest woman on the planet.
Nope. As selfish as it will sound, if everyone looked after their own health first maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess. A nation of fatties with health conditions brought on, in the main, by what they stick in their gobs and a lack of exercise. If we want to save the NHS, let’s save it from those causing the most strain on it – those described above (and I say this as an ex-NHS employee).
save the NHS for what? put the bloody thing out of its misery at last. I agree- let everyone take back control of their own health – and that includes making their own arrangements to pay for medical care
OK, let’s first start with upping the minimum wage to allow those already on the poverty line in borderline jobs to afford health insurance – and to hell with those born with disabilities, such a drain, eh? And you of course would turn away a NHS ambulance should you collapse with a heart attack in the street?
We spend as a nation £12k per year for a family of 4 on health. You can get BUPA for that, so where does all the money go, then? Not on the patients.
I cannot defend the blatant wastages and inefficiencies of the NHS system, much of which has been because of successive governments of all stripes imposing new ideas, dogma, agendas. rules, management layers, trusts, PFI etc. Nevertheless, we have as a nation contributed £trillions to this worthy idea, and it SHOULD work for the whole nation. Instead it had been run down, leaving it deliberately vulnerable to any crisis. The King’s Fund put it clearly in March 2020:
This manufactured C19 care ‘crisis’ is due to agenda driven spending policies, not lack of UK resources. And now a deliberate year on year underspending (or woefully inefficient and poorly targeted spending, which I think is more the point) on the NHS has backfired in spectacular fashion, the government propaganda machine shunts the blame onto those that might need care as opposed to those politicians (on all sides of the House) who have chosen to over and over vote to deprive them of it.
Agree – the NHS has been collapsing for decades and the Coof is the perfect cover for this
Precisely. And BUPA doesn’t cost anywhere near that. We have friends who have paid £70 per month all their working lives into a private insurance scheme. They never use the NHS but have effectively paid twice for their healthcare.
Fuck the NHS it is shite, I’ve had 3 opps in 55 years and I’ve paid for them all as the waiting times on the NHS were unacceptable.
For the most part I’m not going to dispute that, rather I’m asking WHY is it ‘shite’ given the colossal infrastructural spending and goodwill that set it up, and the hundreds of billions pumped in every year to keep it going?
Many of us have horror stories to tell about the NHS, from unnecessary deaths (or near deaths) of our nearest and dearest via outright incompetence to outrageous neglect, but why should it be this way?
Then you look at a pillock like Matt Hancock, and you understand immediately the real value this government places on sorting out the deep problems of NHS; other than giving it away to USA private equity.
“Stay at home, protect the crumbling NHS, and save Hancock’s a**”
Bad as he is and Hancock is indeed very bad , the now utter uselessness of the bloated NHS has been many years in the making. There is now very little left to save and it should be slimmed down to a first rate emergency and trauma unit, while the rest is privatised. For obvious reasons, US controlled companies should be barred from running any of these services, but of course that won’t happen.
The NHS has been run down deliberately by successive neo-liberal governments. It remains a fine and entirely workable idea, it should be at the centre of the UK’s social and health, but too many corrupt and incompetent politicians have been involved in undermining it. As for USA private equity, it’s already happening.
https://www.nhsforsale.info/private-providers/the-practice-group-ltd-new/
HS has been privatised for years. Most doctors medical centres are private entities. Many small operations units are private but use the NHS logo because they handle the overflow of local hospitals. Our dentists and opticians have moved away from the NHS and become private entities. We just are not to.d about the amount of privatisation that has gone on for years.
President Trump said he wouldn’t touch the NHS with a barge pole which is why he stopped Obamacare as it was based on a lie whereby crony politicians could make money out of the taxpayer.
Because US corporations, or their CEO’s are in bed with The Pilgrimj Society of the UK
No, lets start with copying the system in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Japan, Australia etc etc.
None of these countries have a 2nd world NHS, they’ve all got 1st world health care, no one goes without healthcare, they don’t have to die waiting for care unlike here and you’d be lynched if you suggested downgrading their healthsystem to an NHS in all those countries.
Stop the bleeding scare tactics and take a look round the world at what works!!!
Scare tactics? Given this omnishambles of a government don’t you think it is justified?
This country does not have the GDP per head to approach the necessary contributions to copy the semi-private German system, nor the ingrained corporate financial discipline to make it work.
Everything here is quick buck cronyism, and then walk (or run) away from the consequences, we saw it with PFI. We also saw it with supposedly protected public utilities. We are now seeing it with Covid.
The UK runs a Food Bank serf culture, benefit dependency, temp jobs, high rents and a minimum wage that would hardly cover the average total monthly health insurance contribution in Germany. The UK elites don’t want the educational and structural changes that will strengthen and enrich the working class, and would rather have the current mess than upping the GDP per head.
The purpose of a health system is to provide healthcare, not to provide jobs.
Many countries with lower GDP than UK run the Social Insurance model.
How many more centuries do you want to run the failed NHS model for before admitting it doesn’t work and there is a reason the only other countries that have an NHS are Venezuela and N Korea.
Anyone who actually wants good healthcare for the working classes woukd prefer the Social Insurance model.
NHS lovers want to keep the working class as 2nd rate supplicants without a choice accepting the benevolence of their betters.
The world usually takes the best ideas and develops them for their own countries. No one but Obama in USA has ever thought of copying the NHS. That should tell everyone what a scam our health care is
We would be better off slimming down government and giving tax back to the workers. If this country had a flat rate of 5% tax and then a small 2% purchase tax on imported goods, most people would find they could provide excellent health care programmes for their families. If you divide the £billions paid into NHS by the 66 million legal citizens you will find our health care is shockingly expensive in comparison to countries who have an insurance based system.
I couldn’t agree more.
If people want to eat themselves to death that’s their business. Same as my freedom isn’t anyone else’s business.
Completely agree. Your body, your choice. But that’s the real strain of the NHS – not covid. My taxes go to pay for other peoples poor life choices and now their choices will be limiting my freedoms if vaccine passports come into fruition.
Everyone pays national insurance, vat etc. I’d rather campaign against tax theft.
National Insurance doesn’t fund the NHS. It’s taxes. But agree on the tax theft.
It’s all theft, to pay for to much government, I don’t care where it goes.
Not everyone pays national insurance.
Can you not see where this fundamental contradiction is going? You can’t have it both ways without coercion, which is what lockdown sceptics are avowedly against. What you are really saying is ‘Your body, OUR choice’.
As long as one is part of the OUR.
If you want to go down this blame game, one has to look at the wider picture, the corruption and the corporate profiteering in Pharma, Energy, Food supply etc. Better ask why Tesco can sell processed food cheaper than the raw ingredients? Why are the fuel prices required to cook food so artificially high? Also the unequal opportunities in education, jobs and training to break out of the poverty cycle. Working class people generally ate very healthily in the ’50s and ’60s, so what has happened? University education was also free then btw.
So many politically driven structural changes have deliberately created a poverty line serf nation, which is now proving to be so inconvenient for the previous beneficiaries of this inequity.
I don’t disagree with you on many of your points, but essentially, it’s personal responsibility. You’re born with one body – look after it or shit hits the fan. We live in a corrupt system whereby money matters most and ‘science’ is twisted to sell a product. There’s no coercion going on – if you want to eat yourself into a state – that’s your choice. No one has a gun to your head and I’m not going to tell you what to do and I’ll still pay my taxes to fund that. I’m simply pointing out that the ‘health’ system isn’t about health – it’s about money and we all have a responsibility to ourselves to ensure that system works better.
Just throwing more money at it all the time is pointless if you don’t get to the root cause. It’s like putting a bigger plaster/band aid on it all the time hoping it will get better.
With regards to processed food being cheaper – most of it isn’t food. It’s fillers and chemicals and additives. There’s little of the raw food in it, hence a cheaper cost. Maybe if we all learnt to cook from scratch rather than sticking in a microwave meal ‘because it’s easier’ we’d not be consuming al the extra crap that’s added as bulk.
Once again – personally responsibility for oneself. I’ll look after me for you, if you look after you, for me. The world gets better.
As I have already said, it is not about the one’s willingness to look after one’s body or those of one’s family, but the financial and time resources to do so if living a poverty line existence. Two minimum wages are required to try and keep the family going. This is not the 50s or 60s, where one wage would suffice, with mum at home to cook ‘proper’ meals. ‘Mum’ can’t afford to do that any more, she’s off doing a night shift in a care home to make ends meet to pay the rent.
And so the unregulated supermarkets move in to cynically fill the gap with processed crap – yet are actively encouraged to do so by successive governments via a bent tax system.
Food banks do not provide choice, just processed subsistence living. Further, the presence of food banks allows supermarkets to keep overcharging punters for basic items as the supply and demand equation is effectively compromised. It’s a vicious circle.
Too many people at the top are way, way out of touch with poverty line Britain, and are now turning on the poor.
Correct. The financialisation of everything since the early 70s has created the society and economy we live in. It was only a matter of time before the air we breathe ( carbon taxes) and our bodies ( vaccine certificates) become commoditised as well.
I agree people need to take responsibility. The longest queue I am seeing right now is at a drive through McDonalds. The US have just said that 2/3 of their Covid fatalties were clinically obese (which comes as no surprise) and I suspect it’s the same here. If they had wanted to do something useful the Govt should have been promoting good food and healthly lifestyles instead of bleating out all the lies and propaganda. In case anyone hasn’t noticed, all restrictions are actually harmful to health and immunity.
Yes Suzyv I agree – having done my 87 year old Mothers (she isnt taking The Mark of the Beast) shopping on a Sunday morning for many months, I drive past the towns McDonalds and yes there is ALWAYS a queue.
Just to say, this can’t be the mark of the beast as written in Revelation, because there is no Antichrist to worship yet. I do believe though that it is is preparing the way for the Antichrist system and the mark of the beast.
Antichrist? What about Bill Gates.
We’re not commanded to worship him yet, but time will tell.
Xi? Biden? Schwab?
Harris is obviously the Whore of Babylon.
In reality the 2/3s died because they were fat, not because their death certificate had covid on it.
Shh! Being fat is the only unhealthy lifestyle choice that we’re supposed to pretend is not just OK, but something to be actually celebrated.
You mean those DIY anti-leukaemia kits sold at Tesco? Or compulsory accident insurance in case some boy racer consigns you to a lifetime of painful disability, not to mention depriving your family of the man breadwinner? I mean, where does it end? Why not start with a basic competence test for government health ministers with the results published for all to see?
Well for instance, you can cut sugar out of your diet. If everyone did this, and the NHS still had exactly the same budget and no other reforms, it could have coped significantly better with its obligations over the past year.
Accidents are something completely different to what I was talking about – you know this. I’m talking about the main pressure on the NHS which is people’s life choices. Heart Disease, cancer, diabetes, COPD . . . the main causes of death come from one simple point on our bodies: our mouths and what we stick in them coupled with a sedentary lifestyle. Change that, and you change the admissions in hospitals. But the NHS is a business and being healthy isn’t good for business be that for medical and pharmaceutical companies or the NHS.
Why is it that the greatest cure for life is to change what we put in our mouths is seen as something alien, but pumping ourselves with drugs and a ‘pill for every ill’ has become the norm and something we should esteem?
Look back at the last 11 months and you have your answer. The Supermarkets have been given free licence by the government to profiteer and force the newly unemployed (due to this lockdown) to sign up to their club card schemes – or miss out on those price reductions necessary to make ends meet.
As I said in another reply, the price of raw food ingredients + energy is deliberately much higher than processed crap, so the processed crap companies make mega profits. Enforced supermarket shopping is a scam worthy of the mafia, and the likes of Tescos should be hit with a massive lockdown windfall tax to be ploughed straight back into the NHS.
People WILL eat properly, if by doing so it does not impact on their ability to make ends meet at the end of the month. Currently, for poverty-line UK, it does.
Agreed – see my reply above this one. =)
Totally agree. So many issues here:
1) So many people have no real understanding of what constitutes a decent diet, and proper home cooking. This is because:
2) Basic cooking has not been taught in schools for many years (the old ‘domestic science’, or whatever, has become ‘food technology’, where pupils eg design a box for pizza; certainly the case a few years ago). And because it’s not been taught in schools, it’s increasingly less likely to have been taught at home…;
3) Most ‘official’ advice (eg the ‘Eatwell’ model, emphasising high carbs/low fat) is the exact opposite of what more discerning dieticians (eg Zoë Harcombe, Ivor Cummins and many others) advocate, ie low carbs, plenty of ‘good’ fats. The former leads to diabetes, the latter tends to prevent it;
4) The likes of Deliveroo and Just Eat are actively undermining the value of home cooking, all the time planting the subversive seed that it’s too difficult/time-consuming/etc. Their underlying message is designed to totally disempower a whole generation, to try to ensure that they never experience the satisfaction of
cooking eg a lovely basic pasta dish with green salad, fruit, bread and cheese. And God forbid that this generation should ever realise that a beefburger meal for six costs more than simple roast beef with lovely leftovers!
People could eat so well, even on a low income. So many excellent meals can be made from eggs, potatoes, onions, pasta, cheaper cuts of (well sourced) meat, tinned sardines etc etc. What is needed is information, and demonstration, building up confidence. But it doesn’t happen in schools, there’s no evidence of decent food in hospitals, etc etc. And our government really doesn’t care…. School lunches? Food boxes for poor pupils during lockdown?
Just don’t get me started..!
so true, you can eat cheaply and still eat very heathy food
Remember those the NHS classify as overweight live longer and have a better survival rate from surgery.
Could be a coincidence or maybe the PC NHS got this wrong as well.
When we wake to the tyranny, stop believing in the lies, then the men and women of this country will realise our power. But as sick and propagandised peoples we won’t. (I don’t include myself in this!
Another reason for a republic.What is the point of the monarchy when they join with the oppressors against the people.
A republic isn’t exactly a guarantee against oppression.
RUBBISH! LOOK at the French.
They FIGHT for their dignity and rights!
They are FAR MORE socially conservative than UKers.
ALSO, their aristocracy are actually a sophisticted and educated bunch.
When you think of the TRASHYNESS of the so-called Royal Family!
Low-level TRASH!
The British are PATHETIC for doffing their caps to these creepers: I GIVE UP!
Not really. The French aren’t exactly taking to the streets at the moment, more the Italians and Poles. The Dutch (and they’re a monarchy) riots put the French to shame.
Their aristocracy are no different to ours – many of them are not exactly sophisticated and educated. As my father-in-law (who is a historian of 18th century France) puts it, that’s more the upper middle class Parisians but the rest of France is no different to your average Joe here.
And I don’t doff my cap to the monarchy. I come from a country that calls itself a republic but its clearly not (more like an oligarchy) so I don’t exactly subscbrie to the view that a republic is the magic bullet that will cure society.
Then there’s no point in society.
Just give up on everything.
Try and enjoy it before the inevitable totalitarianism comes.
It’s OVER.
Future generations WON’T look back in horror, like people always say ( they always say that as if history has a natural curve towards justice ) as there WILL BE no free future generations.
This is how it ends.
IT’S OVER, FOLKS!
IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?
IT’S AN ISLAND: THEY ARE COMING TO STARVE YOU OUT OF YOUR HOME UNLESS YOU TAKE THE JAB.
THEY HATE THEIR KIDS! YOUR NEIGHBOUR IS A SADISTIC MURDERER!
Actually I think that farmers in Lyon would beg to differ.
Hear hear. Here in Ireland, we are a “Republic” – however, our “President” signed the necessary lockdown legislation into law without batting an eyelid. Our constitution has been shown to be worthless.
Yep. And its no different to say Italy or Czech Republic or Austria…..
Head of state in CR (Milos Zeman) is a senile imbecile.
Same in USA
Yes, I think I will recant my recent irritated conversion to republicanism. Still very very disappointed with Queenie, but the thought of who the British people might be capable of electing (President Piers Morgan anyone?) has sobered me up.
Still think they need to go back to being strictly apolitical, so Charles has absolutely disqualified himself by his involvement in the highly political WEF agenda (which, like all technocracy, presents itself as above politics, but is not).
And I agree with Nomad, the state remains the problem. We can debate the merits of various systems, but none is a panacea. I read one of Omar Khan’s pieces yesterday, in which he argues that only by people personally engaging can anything be achieved. This remains the case whatever the system in place.
I agree but what is the monarch for if they will not intervene when a government abuses its power.
It is in fact worse than that,the Queen has been co opted into the government propaganda machine and the heir to the throne is a mouthpiece for the WEF.
Bringing out The Queen at this late stage simply emphasises their desperation.
It’s a modern mutant variation on Boswell quoting Samuel Johnson.
‘Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels’.
1727.
Exactly – they’re desperate.
Yep.
Same in Germany.
No takers for the AZ gene therapy.
My sources in CZ Rep (only from one town in this case) tell me that people (esp. older cohort) do not want AZ because ‘it is not very effective’. Apparently, they favour Pfizer. There is a word-of-mouth grapevine and this is the consensus in the town. (Seems info on Pfizer’s fraudulent past is not getting out, but then it isn’t really getting out properly anywhere, is it?)
You have three chances to get a vaccination: You can refuse two, if it is not the vaccine you prefer, but third refusal is your last chance.
“…last chance.”
Or what? They’ll leave you alone, or force it on you?
Good point. Although to clarify it should be remembered that Johnson meant the appeal to patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel. He had no problem with patriotism itself. The quote is often mis-used to suggest there is something wrong with a love of one’s country.
Who has had all her expected lifespan (and more) given her age. Not to mention if she gets a vax injury she can afford the best healthcare there is. Personally – I have an expected lifespan of 15 years to go and can’t afford that level of healthcare if injured. So – thanks all the same Yer Maj but I never listened to you anyway and won’t be listening now. As far as I’m concerned – the only difference between us anyway is your surname is Windsor and you have a lot more money than I do/more well-known than I am. I can’t see any other differences – so why would I listen to you?
It’s the war with Germany in 1914, the royal family changed their name.
The British royal family changed their surname (last name) from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor in 1917.
Her long life is down to the best a wealthy life can afford, nothing else.
No, sorry, we all know we are Germans and we speak a Germanic language, English. That’s not racism, it’s fact, Fritz. Sorry, I meant Friedrich.
Germans are not a race though
stop being a twat
Xenophobia – yes
Just don’t mention the war !
Not a fan of the adrenochrome/Satanism/lizard genes explanations then, cloud6 ?
Et tu Queenie.
Isn’t she supposed to be apolitical
Also, I thought they were fans of homeopathy? I’m not sure I believe they have had the vaccine.
I would be very surprised if the Royal Family have been anywhere near this vaccine. They live long lives partly through privilege and because they use Homeopathy and Naturopathy. It’s a disgrace that they have allowed themselves to promote this dangerous “medical treatment”. Although from my research the Royal Family are equally involved in this “fraud” along with Govts.
They are DISGUSTING TRAITORS to the British people.
I… can’t… believe how EVIL they are. NO WAY did the rebranded ‘Royal Family’ receive the vaccine.
They are LIEING!
And for centuries the British people have been doffing their caps to these morons.
I need to leave this country. If I had the means I would. My own monarch wants to experiment on me.
They are SICK DEVILS.
And anyone here who is a monarchist needs to understand this now. Face up to it.
I used to support the monarchy.
Anyone who supports them here now is frankly a joke.
I think it’s safe to say ONE of them has been. He’s in hospital at the tender age of 99 having contracted covid-19 AFTER his vaccine.
But it’s safe and effective. For whom and at what, no one is sure.,
Yes, I did wonder what he had been into hospital for. They never did say, did they? It was quite obvious to me.
Nor do i think they had the ‘vaccine’. what on earth would possess their doctors to inject them with something that had not been tested at all on people of their age? They probably think they had it but i bet it was a placebo of some sort
Philip is ill now – very soon after he’s probably had the 2nd dose of the vax and so it may well be that they had the real deal.
The reason it didn’t hurt, Brenda, is that they left the cap on the needle when they “jabbed” you.
Maybe she had the homeopathic dose of the vaccine? Hold a bottle of vaccine close to a syringe of saline. The crucial molecule transports homeopathically into the syringe and bingo, job’s a good ‘un.
Yes, it’s always been discreetly known that they’re massively into homeopathy. That maybe why they live so long!
Not sure how this sits with taking the vax; looks well-intentioned but misguided. The point is surely not whether the jab hurts at the time, but what the side-effects are hours/months/years later!!!
Total crickets while the sovereignty of our country is handed over to an unelected foreign cabal but any sign of vaccine hesitancy she is right out there with the emotional blackmail and soft coercion.
Rather disappointing but of course she would be made to say that. Wheeling her out shows that the government are really desperate as a vaccine take up has slowed down and people are starting to wonder why are we still locked down despite the target age group already vaccinated.
Methinks as well the royals’ complicity with this NHS worship is apart from the NHS being the new State Religion, they’re atoning as bearing in mind George VI was opposed to the creation of the NHS.
Then WHAT are they FOR?
Bear in mind that in both cases, most of the money goes on salaries, wages and pensions for employees.
But that doesn’t entitle either the Queen or the Arch-traitor of Cant-erbury to stick needles in our arms.
Many of this “fantastical wealth” isn’t exactly Her Majesty’s. The palaces and the Royal Collection are all state owned. And the latter is self funded and doesn’t recieve funding from the government.
But yeah, this intervention is ill-advised. The courtier who didn’t think of that should resign.
Ill-advised? Are you SERIOUS?
LOOK! THIS is the time for the monarch to INTERVENE.
That she does NOT shows she is a TRAITOR to her people.
How can you possibly go on supporting her?
Do you have ANY IDEA the seriousness of this effectively mandatory vaccine and the resetting of the economy? Of course you do.
You know, I GIVE UP: The British people will be doffing their cap to their alleged ‘betters’ just as they always have done.
FREE? Pathetic!
I do not support her but having studied this country’s political system, its not as black and white as it looks. As I said somewhere here, I did wish that she should have opposed this from the word go but that would have triggered a constitutional crisis and set a bad precedent no matter how noble the cause is.
The fact that the government has to wheel her out shows how desperate they’ve become. For all we know she might have done us a favour and discredit this government even more.
I think we should just agree to disagree and please stop shouting at me. Your caps give me that impression.
NONSENSE!
THIS is the time for a constitutional crisis.
NOW!
THEY are introducing TOTALITARIANISM and SHE supports it.
The idea that it actually matters whether there is a constitutional crisis…
IF the scum get away with this, and her son SEEMS to be one of them, then there WILL BE NO LIBERTY and MANY will be sterilized and/or DIE.
YOU obviously don’t realise the PERIL we are in right now.
THIS is WORSE than the NAZIS.
They are coming for YOU!
Indeed, we are now at the thinnish end of a rapidly thickening totalitarian wedge. The Windsors long ago bought into the plebs must go routine, if they are to save the world from impending environmental catastrophe. Saving the world for themselves. of course.
They are traitors.
IF we get through this, they should step down and have the majority of their property taken away.
They can keep a manor house or two but they should be divested of all their serious property.
They are partaking in mass experimentation and possible sterilization of their countrymen and women.
And there some on here who support them?
PATHETIC!
I take your point as well. I’m not too sure about the cosseted life – maybe physically but I can imagine the huge mental toll being a royal must take. One simply has to look at the Harry Markle shit show.
I don’t really have a view one way or another about the monarchy but having come from a republic and an unstable and corrupt one. I don’t subscribe to the view that a republic is a magic cure all.
kh, I agree with what you said about Harry & Meghan 100% – many of my colleagues were gushing about the wedding but I wasn’t. They thought I was a sourpuss when I predicted that she won’t last and they as a couple will bring misery to the Queen.
When the shit hit the fan one of my colleagues asked me if I was a fortune teller. No, I replied, I can see bullshit because I have a low tolerance for it.
There are the hangers-on – the lords and ladies in waiting, the equarries, the security, the catering staff, all vetted to the n’th degree.
As I put it last night, the regime has cashed in its queeny chips.
The monarchy is a resource whose value lies for the most part in reserve. When revealed and spent, the result is likely to be disappointing and permanently damage the monarchy.
For a government to shoot its queeny bolt is either desperate or deranged and hubristic.
They’re burning through the National Treasures as fast as the national treasure.
What’s next? A class of six year olds pleading with us to get jabbed so they can get back to school and hug granny?
Don’t give them ideas…
An advert with a CGI baby face telling mummy to get the jab so she won’t die and leave baby alone in the world…This will be next.
Like Wim Duisenberg said: “We’re like whipped cream. The more you beat us, the stiffer we get.”
OK, this will cut my viagra bill no end.
It’s probably another sign that the vaccine take up has been much lower than they’ve been claiming officially. Attacking the BAME community for not having it hasn’t worked, so now they’re trying to guilt trip the rest of us.
They can’t exactly attack the BAME community as the R card would be used and of course many of them are in the NHS. Plus as we know the uptake among NHS staff is very low as well.
Well, they’ve spared no expense encouraging abuse of the BAME community by whomever in the Daily Mail comment section. Bleeds into other pro-jab article comments as well.
Sunak’s wife is richer
Sad to see the leader of our National church embracing the saviour of the new Covidian religion. Her churches have become empty of Christ worshippers, due to the law, but full of those believing that death can be avoided by an experimental vaccine. With new rituals, new leaders, an NHS to worship and an eradication of normal Christianity, this new cult has everything. I’ll be giving the cult and its vaccine saviour a miss.
It’s worse than that. Churches, at least in England and Wales, are ‘permitted’ to open, but many have taken the decision to remain closed despite that. We can get a McDonald’s takeaway but we can’t partake of the Body and Blood of Christ.
Sums it up. The churches have abandoned God for the zCovid devil. The Covid devil will make sure that they get what they deserve, in full measure, pressed down and running over.
What enrages me about what she said is that it’s nothing to do whether the “ prick” hurts or not! It’s the whole experimental aspect she doesn’t seem to cotton on! That says a lot about her lack of awareness of medical mafia and the evil purpose of big pharma, or even her intelligence! It was a ridiculous intervention on her part!
I doubt she has access to the same sources that we have. I don’t see her as the type who surfs the Internet looking for information.
Her husband is having to spend weeks in hospital shortly after having the jab. Hardly an advert for it is it? I think the cadaverous old Karen would be better off keeping her gob shut.
Adrenochrome has become a whole lot more believable thanks to covid and the vaccine. My pessimism on the existence of this evil drug is being challenged by the hideous behaviour of the establishment/medical world this past year.
God save the Queef
Not to worry; when the inevitable inquest occurs, her place in it will be assured. I don’t want this country to be a republic, but any more of this unnecessary crap from her and I might be persuaded.
THIS is when a monarch who gave a damn would intervene.
She is a TRAITOR to the British people.
REPUBLIC NOW!
Or let some other pretender step forth!
France could ban ‘confusing’ gender neutral words that ‘endanger the language’ under law proposed by 60 MPs We need politicians like this here.
After reflection on the headline, i’m worried exactly what words they mean!
The person who wrote the article hasn’t a clue.
Don’t shoot the messenger. I don’t actually read the daily fail, just the headlines & comments. LOL
Sure, not blaming you!
I once made a small comparative study of newspaper reports on the same subject, and realised that none of the reporters had actually investigated or reported anything. They just adapted what had been sent by (usually) Reuters by putting in into the style of their own particular rag.
Investigative journalism went out the window years ago, they’re just corporate shills now, as you say Reuters makes it up & distributes it.
I used to call them ‘Rotters’ when I was a hack.
There’s a better report in the Telegraph, which details the madness a lot better.

Calming UK Report: 244 died, Including 8 Miscarriages, but these are “Short Term Effects”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KzM9VF3zd8&list=WL&index=30
****************************************************
UK government reports over 240 deaths shortly after coronavirus vaccination
https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-02-24-uk-government-reports-deaths-after-coronavirus-vaccination.html
Muscarriage is a short-term effect?
There was me thinking it was something that the woman concerned remembered for the rest of her life (assuming she’s one that chose to conceive that child)….
So death is a short term effect? strabge that, I always thought it was final? Obviously I wrong.
I suppose death is short-term for a zombie. It’s living death that goes on, and on, and on.
I thought the zombie meme was a load of bs until something worse appeared – the Maskies.
Well, there’s death, non-fatal death, short-term death, trivial death, Really Serious Death, and Covid-Sadlideath, which trumps all the others.
The deaths of unborn children due to the vaccine in the trials and post vaccine in the roll-out are not counted as deaths so not included in fatalities- maybe that’s what they mean here. If anyone is or may be / get pregnant, they should definitely not have the jab whatever the GP practice / vaccinator says.

Can we just accept here that men may be weak these days but that women are in fact EVIL?
Brave, FuoL, brave.
(You’re not married, are you ?
).
So much for prison being punishment Prisoners will NOT jump vaccine queue: Downing Street quashes rumour that inmates will get Covid jab ahead of other groups I really don’t mind if they have mine.
Yes, if we give them our jabs and they sadlidie then they won’t reoffend, and we will have dodged that bullet, while burnishing our virtue-signalling credentials. I see no downside, here.
Your right to think and act freely is CANCELLED: A newsreader forced out for quoting Shakespeare, and a top author ostracised for standing up for women… Author argues that was just the prologue to a new age of thought censorship Don’t know if anyone noticed, but that’s not the only freedoms we’ve lost! We are all under house arrest & turns your body your choice, isn’t actually true.
but it’s interesting to note isn’t it, that freedom of speech was the first to go, and then all the rest quickly followed – almost as if freedom of speech is the one that underpins them all
I can think of other words to describe it
An interesting point , Jane because it is an opinion more prevalent and deeply held than one might think .
A few years ago, the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, there was an exhibition at Durham Cathedral about Magna Carta and its consequences and relevance down the centuries both here and in US. Every visitor was given a small token and at the end of the tour you posted the token in one of several large glass bottles representing what one might call “freedoms ” or “rights” eg the right to vote, equality for women , right to own property , etc. The bottle with overwhelmingly the most entries , in fact overflowing, was ” freedom of speech”. .
That would have been the maskers.
Was there even a bottle for the 2nd ?
I think there is a better case for the Right to Bear Arms being the one that underpins all the others.
I wasn’t aware of the Queen making an intervention on behalf of the governments por-vaccine quest last night, but I did find it interesting, and slightly disturbing that there was, apparently no mention of Phillip.
Considering that he has been in hospital for the past ten days with what has been described only as “an infection” the thought does strike me that he perhaps has suffered an adverse reaction to a second dose. The first was widely reported in mid Jan, and presumably they would not have been made to wait three months for the second like the rest of the plebs. That would have put the the second around the furst week in February, and he was admitted on the 14th or 15th.
He’s 90 odd he’s going to die very soon, if he hasn’t already. No surprise about that.
And even if he did die ‘of covid’ or ‘with covid’ it wouldn’t be reported as that as he’s had the ‘vaccine’ which would hurt the narrative.
Of or with vaccine is more damaging, politically.
There has long been rumours that the reason why Phil is in hospital is because he’s developed side effects from the vaccine.
The Queen’s intervention on behalf of the government shows desperation on their part and what are the odds that HM and HRH were not told of the side effects? My father-in-law had the vaccine and he wasn’t told what are the side effects. Cue a few days later he felt pain, pins & needles feeling and developed a nasty skin rash. Of course that worried the doctor as he’s also on medication for gout.
People please get with the narrative
They did not die from the vaccine they died with the vaccine

An over statement, one side had no idea how viruses work & the other back tracked to appease the covidians, scared he’d be compared to Piers Corbyn. To be fair either Mike Yeadon was wrong about herd immunity or covid doesn’t exist, Toby Young can’t sit on the fence any longer.
Good on her, she knows its poison!
At what? Killing people? No better or worse than Covid-19. Preventing transmission? Evidently the government have no faith in them, why else are we still in lockup? They clearly don’t even think they will save their NHS. Because if the “vaccines” worked why all the coercive pressure to force people to take them.
Could that be because the virus has burnt itself out, killing all those most vulnerable?
You can run but you can’t hide! Be stuck indoors with carrier is guaranteed infection.
Covid is fraud.
Human rights only matter at times of emergency, this shitshow proved we never had any.
Told you socialism is in bed with corporatist globalism.
They haven’t even proved the virus exists ffs, let alone asymptomatic transmission.
Just fuck off!
Send In The Clowns · Frank Sinatra
Don’t speak about Boris that way.
Isn’t this obsolete by now?
To be fair either Mike Yeadon was wrong about herd immunity or covid doesn’t exist
I’m not sure what you mean? Genuine question.
Pretty solid post btw, although I’m not sure about the last statement.
Obsolete in the sense everyone’s ignoring it!
Ok, still not sure about your Yeadon point though.
I’m very intrigued as to whether Yeadon was right or wrong, or both, on herd immunity last fall. Not to score points, but just as an understanding of the virus spread.
Was fucking herd immunity.
Only, can’t you see they have LOWERED immunity of the population through deliberately dangerous SOCIAL DISTANCING and then mask wearing?!
It is to PROLONG the virus.
This is deliberately planned longterm BIOTERRORISM against the populations of the West.
I suspect in was indeed in large part herd immunity. But perhaps, with the suppression by the spring weather last May, the virus hadn’t yet fully reached all parts of society, and thus they saw their first wave come winter.
Other than that, fiddled figures, lower general immunity owing to LD measures, increased and more serious infections owing to mask wearing, and flu mis-diagnoisis, probably accounts for the ‘second wave’.
Happy to hear contrary arguments though.
Odd though. When we were in NZ some years ago, we flew over the Franz Josef glacier in a chopper because it’s the only way you can get to see it properly. And plutocrats we weren’t, living a happy life in NZ motels (invariably excellent, and pretty cheap) and doing our own catering.

Me and my bestie are going out today, as we have done since lockdown began to meet as many of you as possible. We ‘re going to act like we’re healthy, cos we are and look people in the eye and say we are not a disease vector. You can embrace paranoia, but we’re not. You may know my bestie. He’s called my immune system.
Have a good time, Patrick.

Drug used to treat head lice and scabies might be the key to beating Covid-19, study says Is this news?
Probably bad news for nits.

And scabs.
And flu.
None flu over the cuckoo’s nest.
Is that the same drug that you could only use once a year because it was so toxic?
Probably, I try to steer clear of all man made synthetic drugs. Nature can generally provide safer alternatives. That’s not to say nature doesn’t have its deadly toxins too!
Stupid headline but Ivermectin finally getting more mention in the msm is a step in the right direction.
Slightly off piste here ,but for all sceptics languishing in this increasingly divided , divisive and heavily indebted country, the following should resonate:
https://www.scotlandmatters.co.uk/2021/02/18/stronger-for-scotland-its-a-no-from-me/
Scotland Matters has started its billboard campaign, with the first, in Greenock, attracting much support .
So, we have a chance to Stop The Sturgeonator by voting on May 6th.
What has shocked and dismayed me is to have learnt today, thanks to Scotland Matters, that no public appearances, nor even leafletting, will be permitted in the run up to the election date.
She Who Must Be Obeyed has used the draconian lockdown restrictions to deny fully effective participation to campaigners.What kind of a democracy is this?
So, pizza leaflets can be delivered, as can doorstep takeaway deliveries, Amazon deliveries etc, while she continues to make the most of her daily telly appearances, soap box at the ready.
This cultish control creep must be challenged; it must be stopped.
We’re confined until April 26th-following which Tiers for Fears will be resurrected- and then expected to vote in a frankly rigged election process, before joyously celebrating the plans for another neverendum.
Fear rules here; opposing opinions are withheld, for fear of persecution and pile ons, social and economic life are dying, young people are being robbed of hopes, prospects, education and normal socialisation and apathy, anomie and mindless compliance dominate what passes for society.
Zero covid provides a convenient, if frankly barmy, cover for the controllery to continue ad infinitum.
How much more damage must we endure ?
Even the he said/ she said scandal brewing in Holyrood is being reduced to a partisan farce.
The upcoming Scottish elections are a farce
That is a single-party dictatorship. People need to get out and campaign. Spread leaflets. DO IT! It is NOT TRUE. You have a “reasonable excuse” and that’s the LAW.
Goebbels would be proud ! Propaganda, agit prop and denial of media time, leafletting and campaigning to the opposition.
It is shameful.
I can’t even get to grips why the Salmond scandal is allowed to continue, why do his accusers get anonymity if he was acquitted?
If he’s found innocent then they must by definition they must be false accusations, so we should all be able to hear the dirt on Sturg-un, in itself it’s a scandal.
Salmond’s testimony: The bits the Crown Office didn’t want you to hear
All formerly accepted, tried and trusted legal, social, economic and democratic norms appear to have been subjected to the new fluid, post truth ideology so gleefully promoted by the cabal whichrules the Holyrood roost.
What the hell is this going on with this site, ATL. We have an article about how effective are the vaccines and an insert of ‘that is encouraging.’ Where is the data of adverse reactions, the literature from the pharma companies on their limited trials, no known data on medium to long term effects, on fertility, on contraindications with other drugs, the point this is on emergency licence, our rights of non coerce, mandated drugs, the red line forced drugs crosses regarding our right to body autonomy and so on. Why is this site constantly pushing the positives of enforced vaccination and not, with the same fervour fighting the right to decline state medication, particularly for a non lethal virus and an experimental drug . I would rather see articles of how wrong this whole policy is, questions of where our human rights lawyers are etc., Instead of constantly promoting the perceived positives of a rushed, experimental, fill my boots with cash for those connected, drug experiment.
And in addition, why is this site not questioning the claims about antibodies – how are they actually coming to their conclusions about the vaccines creating antibodies. In a controlled trial yes, but on a willy, nilly vaccinate everything that moves, how are they coming to these conclusion – is every person, or a large percentage of vaccinated returning for blood tests on antibodies. I think not … Please LS start doing some investigative journalism or at least start questioning the narrative.
Not to mention the censorship & editing of comments. Already lost comments to approval this morning.
Did they include more than one link?That automatically goes for ‘approval’, irrespective of content.
I know, but i did accuse TY of sitting on the fence.
It’s up now ‘an hour ago’
Yes,I tried asking a simple question last week about a supposedly anti-lockdown group who were sending me e-mails that I’d like to know more about and it kept getting deleted. I just wonder why.
We need to ask MPs, and journalists need to ask MPs (URGENTLY), the following question:
Are you pushing relentlessly and obsessively for people to have this vaccine a) because you actually think they need this vaccine (because most people don’t), or b) because you know that you and your colleagues have already DECIDED to try to force the people of this country to be subjected to a digital ID system that will attempt to require people to carry around a device that monitors their every move, carries all their medical information and gives them “credits” for good behaviour that they can exchange for goods and services, because you have accepted some deranged notion that this is the only way to “save the planet“ and you have accepted that this is going to be imposed on the people of this country?
And if ANY version of the latter is true, are you aware that this is tyrannical, unethical, immoral and completely antithetical to British sensibilities?
Ask it. Demand answers, NOW! Because if they have already acted, agreed, signed up to ANY version of this… we need to know and put a stop to it… NOW
Do you see what I’m saying. I joined the dots. I couldn’t sleep for puzzling over WHY these – previously rational sounding, for the most part – MPs were all, suddenly, like hysterical maniacs, pushing this dodgy vaccine. They can’t possibly think it’s ethical to coerce people into taking an experimental drug that’s not even completely human trials. They must know something we don’t know. They must have been told that these digital IDs are going to be forced on us. That must be why they are shunning ANY reasonable questions and frantically trying to pursuance is to succumb. Anyway, that’s my latest theory. Thoughts???
Why do you think they’re so obsessed with 5G, surveillance!
It is indeed now looking very sinister, nearly 19 million people vaccinated and 4 million who have had Covid, so a total of 23 million or around 50% of the adult population add to that the people with natural immunity and it is a case of job done, as witnessed by the rapidly falling figures.
We may not like the way the job has been done but I guess we are where we are and it is time to pack up the circus and go home but they cannot stop. We do not go around vaccinating younger people against flu in the summer-time. Indeed, even if you are happy with the vaccines, as we approach better weather there is increasingly little point vaccinating anyone with a dodgy potion that only lasts 6 months.
So as you say why all the hysterical drive for vaccinations? maybe they have all gone collectively insane? and indeed that may be true for some but it must be more than that.
Hey, but they all went collectively insane about lockdown too. So it’s not without precedent.
Conspiracy, cock up, something else?
Now that her Maj has been wheeled out to brow beat us into submission I’m starting to err towards your poit of view.
That is very reasonable. The goal is a “safer” country (safer = more surveillance, ie the digitalisation of everything). The short term method is health and financial data all on your smartphone / app. Long term, that data will all be accessed from your biometrics. Imagine, a universal ID system, linking your health (medical records, vaccinations, live data from smart watch), online behaviour (social media activity), finances (money in / money out / savings / investments / digital currencies) and physical movement (GPS, “checking in”) all to your facial / iris scans, which are stored on a global, non-hackable blockchain technology.
Once you have all this data and info, you essentially have the tools to be able to predict the future. And as wild as that sounds, just think about it: social media companies already bombard us with ads for products that the algorithms know we will want. Scale that up to all areas of my life, and all of a sudden, some hyper intelligent piece of software will be able to predict where I want to live, work, holiday, spend my money, drink, eat and socialise. It will also conclude that I am at risk of diabetes / obesity etc and therefore a potential burden on the health system – and liable for a lifelong higher tax rate to compensate for my future unhealthy lifestyle and carbon footprint.
I think we have to bite the bullet and ditch the smartphone. Or stop leaving your house with a digital device strapped to your hip. If we CHANGE the way we behave, there will be no way they can enforce this. By keeping our phones on us the whole time, we are playing the game. For many years I insisted on being send PAPER airline tickets after they made it all digital. And I’ve gone PAPERLESS with my bank statements and tax returns. Hmm, I’ve succumb to the digitisation of my life. We maybe we need to turn back before it’s too late.
The falure of the T&T and the QR codes show that so-called “passports” won’t exactly work the way they want it. Even top of the range smartphones had trouble with the NHS app and QR codes.
Could it be to keep track of us when the federal reserve collapses and our currency is worth nothing? Predicted to be imminent.
The infrastructure described would require enormous amounts of time, energy, and money to implement.
There’s no way they’re running all that on wind power.
I get where you’re going with this and I had very similar thoughts at the beginning of lockdown- could this in some way be happening because they know something we don’t and want to protect us? Are they shielding us from a worse truth than pretending there’s a virus? But I don’t believe that any more and the reason is the number of times I’ve had the sense that they are keeping something from us but they aren’t scared by it – the times when the main perpetrators look as if they’re suppressing laughter is disconcerting and very revealing. This is happening less now so maybe the nefarious backstory to the covid fraud is falling apart and they know it.
Cue extra-dimensional alien invasion in 3…2…1…

Now, which is the way to the tower?
Is the msm thrust of “reporting” changing or am I being paranoid?
From: Lockdowns,lockdowns & more lockdowns.
To look at the damage suffered by some people during lockdowns.
Lockdowns “obviously” work (at least according to one “medical corresponsent” on tv news.
But lockdowns cannot go on – look at some people suffering.
The vaccines will save us and we should/must be vaccinated.
People who refuse vaccination are at best misinformed and at worst completely anti social and the reason why lockdowns may well have to be used again.
Don’t expect the status of a conscientious objector in the gulag.
It’s pointless trying to point out to them things like the comparison between non lockdown and lockdown states in the USA or how death statistics have been manipulated because they must be complicit in the problem we face but I feel their narrative is changing and they’re coming for us sometime soon.
Ok, I can live with that because I live in hope that our day will come but we need that political will from some politicians.
My local Labour MP who has consistently demanded ‘more lockdown sooner and longer’ has suddenly changed his tune and is demanding local restrictions be ended sooner because cases/deaths in the area are among the lowest in the country.
They will all come scurrying out of the cracks and crevices now claiming they were opposed to lockdown all along.
It will be our sacred duty to remind them that they were not.
Our life’s work, if necessary.
Nuremberg 2 will have to try them in batches.
Exactly. Someone on Twitter told me that they’ve been getting screenshots of mask selfies and pro-lockdown posts to use as proof.
I see a football stadium, the trials taking place on a huge, lit stage installed on the pitch. Microphones, large screens, the whole shebang.
The stands stuffed with folk who won’t need encouragement to throw shit and rotten food and all kinds of nastiness at the accused.
The Handmaids Tale was a prediction – who knew?
LOL – thinking “Now isn’t that what I remember Ben Bradshaw saying?” – ie the guy who used to be my MP and then I moved. Okay – I’ll give as much credence to that comment then as his comment to me one time of “You were a big influence on me”. Yeah – right – of course NOT…..
Great! Who is this? Please tell. We need to know who is standing up for us!
Might be a hole starting to appear in the dyke? Last year some MPs were wanting local exemptions but they were Tories.
Tell him/her to make early stage HCQ/IVM treatments available to bring the numbers of deaths FROM covid and influenza down to zero.

Thank you
I watched “The Great Lockdown Debate” between Toby and the cowardly turncoat Snowdon – I can only imagine Toby is being gracious in victory with his comments ATL because it was an absolute bloodbath. Like most people on our side, he brought the heavy artillery to the battlefield – facts, studies, real world data. Snowdon brought a vape pen and a whiny insistence that lockdowns HAVE to work, human separation, germ theory yadda yadda yadda.
Slapped in the face with all of the classic lockdown busting experiences of Sweden and Florida, Snowdon slouched further into his chair to the point where I genuinely thought he’d pull a blanket over himself and fall asleep. His counter arguments to Toby’s forensic, stat-laden destruction of the most oppressive NPI to ever crawl out of a one party Communist state were so noticeably cold, so completely uncaring about the colossal harms this dreadful policy has inflicted on every section of society save for the lucky few (and that includes heads of think tanks evidently).
Even his languid, smug appearance, chewing on an e-cigarette whilst glibly warbling about his apparent support for the descent of the UK into a totalitarian police state – you would have been forgiven for mistaking him for a cosy Tory grandee, blind to the immense suffering around him because “I’m alright Jack” and “we’re saving lives here, how can’t you understand this?”
I’m disappointed that Toby didn’t take the time to debunk the hugely inflated Covid deaths or the shocking conflation of positive PCR tests with “cases” and “infections,” and its clear he’s never going to be our messiah when it comes to these highly dangerous, experimental vaccines. However, it was a solid continuation of the fine groundwork laid down by Peter Hitchens a couple of weeks ago – like Hodges, Snowdon has showcased his total lack of research on the very policies he is professing support for. These men sound more like hollow government spokespeople rather than serious journalists or commentators, like millions of others in this country they have succumbed to the egregious propaganda, the spin, the media hysteria, the manipulating of data to suit the narrative and worst of all, the blatant lies.
Lockdown Sceptics 2 – Zealots 0
(Hitchens, Young)
I’m not so impressed, but I come from a different approach, you facilitate lockdown by presuming taking one person’s freedom for another persons safety, should be up for debate in the first place!
I said this earlier, Mike Yeadon was either wrong about herd immunity (kind of destroys months of TY’s LS reports) or Covid-19 doesn’t really exist, either way TY is wrong about Covid-19, as he described how bad it was in the “great debate”. So I don’t see any glory.
Not Quite; the HIT was reached last spring in those conditions. But the HIT is a product of R; the seasonal conditions allowed for an increase in R thus raising the HIT threshold. This is why there are waves of airborne diseases every year. One of the biggest problems with the modeling of this pandemic has been the blind insistance that there is no seasonal affect.
Whether this is a behavioral one, based on our immune system, or innate for the virus is another matter.
If herd immunity had been reached, then the 2nd “wave” wouldn’t have been worse than the first! Presumably regardless of mutation natural immunity from the initial “novel” Covid-19 infection would afford protection against any variant. Either herd immunity hadn’t been reached (Yeadon was wrong) or Covid-19 wasn’t the cause of death in recorded “cases”.
Either way Toby asserting Covid-19 is worse than flu etc as he did yesterday is erroneous.
I would say it’s both.
Flu&co deaths are registered as Covid, thanks to the inflated cts.
Best proof is Oz/NZ who apparently use cts of 23 and see people dying of flu&co instead.
Also, the non-exiting excess mortality in most places.
I have been a HI/HIT doubter in general since watching a Gatti/Montanari video and as such was sceptical of Yeadon/Tegnell/GBD Gupta in that regard (only): HI and in particular tge HIT is a myth,
a computer model created by computer modelers, aka epidimiologists, without any hard medical evidence, invented by computer modelers on behalf if the pharma industry to justify vaccinating people not at risk of a pathogen and disease.
Even that model falls apart completely when incorporating for the movement of people between differently penetrated regions, aka the real world, e.g.
Skane/Stockholm.
At most, it is an outcome that evolves naturally over centuries but cannot be brought about artificially, let alone a HIT be predetermined or measured in practice.
Thanks for the review, I couldn’t face watching it, I think I’ve got to the point where I don’t even want to hear arguments in favour of lockdown any more.
Re Snowdon’s lack of research, I would imagine people like us are far more passionately anti-lockdown than those in favour, and therefore prepared to put much more effort into reading around the issues. There’s no way in hell I would have read half the stuff I have if I didn’t seriously care about what is happening!
I think many people just can’t be bothered to do their research. Someone I know is very dimisssive of the Daily Mail and loftily said during our meetings that she would never dignify that “newspaper that shall remain nameless with a click.” Never mind if the DM has given platforms to experts who are able to lay down the facts and logic in a coherent and easily digestible way as well as publishing scientifically literate articles.
And of course if you debatre with lockdownistas and people who support them, its the same old, same old – hospitals are overwhelmed, children are superspreaders, health before wealth, etc. Not one of them has bothered to address the real fall out from all this and if you say that you’ve been struggling its the usual trite “I’m sorry” or “I wish I have a magic wand to wave your mental health issues away.” To the latter I always want to shout back “then use your magic wand to wake yourself up!”
Sorry but I always thought the expression was;
‘Health is Wealth’
Given all the trials and tribulations I hear from People in the Uk I don’t think there is much ‘health’ going on. Rather the opposite
Can’t remember where I heard the “health before wealth” could have a sign I saw at a university. But yeah first time I saw it, it did make me scratch my head for the reason you stated.
It’s one of those glib slogans that people get can behind, such as ‘save the planet’ or ‘ban the bomb’ (oops showing my age).
I noticed it recently when a local news site reported on the groups planning to demonstrate against the G7 meeting in June.
Yep. Like “people before profit”
What are the odds that we will have the usual suspects protesting in June?
Glib slogans are the most effective. The defence lawyer for OJ Simpson who told the jury “if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit” knew what he was doing. It also helped that the jury were not very smart so a little jingle made an impact.
That is worse than naughty to say “I wish I have a magic wand to wave your mental health issues away”. I would take that as an insult – as it would be telling me that I have mental health issues and my reply to that would be “No mental health issues here matey – I’ve spent all 60 plus years of my life to date 101% mentally healthy. I’m so sorry if YOU have mental health problems though”.
Agree but in her defence it was because I told her that this lockdown has triggered my mental health issues that have lain dormant for over 20 years. She’s young (in her early to mid 20s) and possibly really has no clue about how lockdown has affected people badly and how everyone is not as lucky as she in living in a nice area with vast expanses of green space. Therefore I do cut her some slack here but she’s not exactly in my good books either.
I would never watch Toby – well done for starting this site but he knows very little of the relevant data.
So, still nothing ATL about vaxx passport! Especially now that eu is moving towards imposing them on the continent. What Bojoke will do?
Bozo will let the private sector take the lead hence the announcement of late summer
music festivals (in planning with government for months) which will demand Passports and/or screening as a condition of entry.
Full capacity at such events will mark a moment of victory for Passport zealots.
It’s how Hitler ran Nazi Germany, by letting it be known what general direction of travel he wanted and leaving his underlings to fight among themselves to achieve it.
I have seen a few events being advertised and none of them so far are mentioning anything about covid safety or testing and passports being needed. Reading Rock, a model aeroplane show, another festival. This looks encouraging.
I think it feeds the sense of something like normality returning this year and a lot of people will be disappointed and even angered if it does not.
Passport/testing for such events was a topic on the Jeremy Vine show Thursday. Most callers agreed, natch.
I can take a lot of criticism and abuse from mask enthusiasts and their adherents. but until now I have held firm, using the scientific opinions of medical professionals and experts from across the world.
But I awake this morning to the devastatingly news that a 90 year old millionaire tax evader who was home schooled before completing a 6 month vehicle maintenance course during the war as the pinnacle of her education, has looked into the matter, and officially declared that the vaccine “doesn’t hurt” and that those refusing the vaccine are “selfish”.
Off for me jab this morning ma’am.
when does the emergency coronavirus act end? when will it be voted on again? how can another 6 months possibly be justified?presumably no more vaccine under emergency use when it stops so roll out will stop?
My understanding is that the Coronavirus act lasts for 2 years from March 2020, but is subject to review every 6 months
However, this is far from the only bit of legal stuff on this virus, there has certainly been a pandemic of legislation on this virus, Hansard reckons there have been 378 separate pieces of coronavirus legislation;
https://www.hansardsociety.org.uk/publications/data/coronavirus-statutory-instruments-dashboard
Many of these have been statutory instruments controversially made under the Public Health Act.
The separate face mask regs last until July but I rather expect they will just be re-enacted.
This plethora of legislation seems to me to the characteristic approach of a totalitarian authoritarian state all done under Uberfuhrer Johnson, the Great Dictator in a Teddy Bear costume.
Bleak outllook for Caber tossing.
Outdoor, windy, wet, oft with rain, games are too dodgy. But cooked up in a little telephone box one after another after another in a voting booth in May totally fine.
Must be the Highland variant they are afriad of, no that doesn’t add up because they vote in the Highland too (and the Lowlands used to throw a good Highland Games too).

Wonder if Olympics will go ahead. Or do they need the propaganda of stopping them to punish the world more?
The Queen pushing for an experimental and potentially dangerous vaccine – who would have thought that !
Read “The Biggest Secret” (1996) by David Icke to understand why..
He always said The Queen was one of the lizard people.
These snakeheads are everywhere esp parliament, the US govt, media and legal profession- they control all aspects of our lives. It would be easy to fight back as the “99%” but i guess people are now too far gone with the “programming”.
The Queen is a-political, apart from her views on the vaccine. Better that she said democracy is dead and the monarchy is redundant.
Hi All!
The latest ‘Real Normal Podcast’ is here.
NORMALITY? SOON? We discuss the ‘Rocky Road’ Ahead….ENJOY!
https://therealnormalpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1268768/8013036-ep-21-the-rocky-road
I listened earlier in the week. Another great episode boys x
Cheers! Lets hope it’s almost as great as the THRASHING we dish you this Saturday!
Cheeky! I’m Anglo-Welsh so a foot in each camp though I do tend to be English for football and Cricket and Welsh for rugby!
Lets not talk about the cricket….
Same here. Wales for Rugby, England for Football. not that I’ve paid much attention this year. No tv licence and the pubs are shut so no where to watch it, and it just isn’t real without fans.
Reluctant though I am to criticise HM The Queen, her suggestion that people declining the vaccine are selfish is profoundly ignorant. There is no data to show that the vaccines prevent transmission of the virus so my decision on whether or not to have the vaccine has no effect on anyone except me.
“There is no data to show that the vaccines prevent transmission of the virus so my decision on whether or not to have the vaccine has no effect on anyone except me.”
And the immunosuppressed.
That was the same attitude from the luvvies in Hebden Bridge, right up to the point of a massive measles outbreak.
So you are advocating compulsory vaccination of a healthy population with an experimental vaccine to protect a small number of immunosuppressive people? On that basis surely the precautionary principle should also include compulsory flu vaccines for all and continued masks abs social distancing for all time to protect these people? Remind me why you’re here?
Please explain how the immunosuppressed are protected by me having a vaccination which doesn’t prevent onwards transmission anyway?
Spot on!
That “protecting immunosuppressed” argument died March 26th 2020. They can just lock themselves up to protect their timid terrified covidians. What was good enough for all of us, must be good enough for them.
Measles: Recently Vaccinated Individuals Found to Spread Disease
Even as the US measles “outbreak” has slowed, the vaccination debate rages on.
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/03/24/recently-vaccinated-individuals-spread-disease.aspx
Dr John Lee made the point recently that the incidence of measles is now so low in UK that the vaccine may be more of a risk than the disease, an interesting medical ethics conundrum. Despite that I would still be in favour for my grandchildren since it is a ‘proper’ serious disease. I’ve had measles jab and all the other serious ones starting in 1958.
Think I’ve heard she’s not the brightest lamp in the room?? But everyone falls over themselves to pretend that every sentence uttered by her is the highest wisdom etc etc – just because of her title.
I always hate the “This person cooked, performed, etc for the queen and is therefor very skilled in their profession and we all shall bow in front of them”.
5 years olds performed , she likes plain food, she has no education to assess skills. And it is her staff who choose who gets this “honour”, I am sure she’d rather have beans on toast that some fancy Gordon Ramsay.
According to Good Morning Britain, Her Majesty is suggesting people take the ‘vaccine’, or as it should really be known; experimental gene therapy.
Absolutely no intervention throughout this whole catastrophic episode, and now this. Oh dear.
Or perhaps she is right and you are wrong.
In this country you are free to do what you wish, as long as that doesn’t get in the way of other people doing as they wish. Hence why we say “After you” all the time.
Anti-vaxxers and mask fanatics are just two sides of the same coin. Those who consider their beliefs to be more important than the freedom of anyone else.
Anit-vaxxers – that slur again. You realise you are spouting Marxist labels designed by the left to isolate and vilify those who will not go along with what TPTB want? If the elites want us vaccinated you know it’s not for your own good.
The fear of ‘the elite’ is an emotional response, not a rational one. We should not be running the country on the excessive emotional responses of the irrational – whether that is fear of a drug or a virus.
The Marxists are the ones that won’t put others before themselves. It’s the hallmark of their ilk.
Lucan Grey is a cunt
I’ve been wondering where you’ve been Winston! Welcome back.
And a rather dim one.
Not quite bright enough to realise how thick he is.
Agree. A trolling one at that. What a shower. Nothing useful to say.
More like he’s an on duty c**t.
Grade A idiot. Clearly a paid shill. You can’t possibly be that thick.
I’m not anti vaccine. I’ve had loads in my life time and may well have this one when I feel my risk from Covid makes it worth any residual risk. With the current stage of vaccine development and lack of data I am currently unconvinced. That doesn’t make me selfish or paranoid, it makes me rational.
Are you saying that Bill Gates doesn’t have both a plan and the financial means to implement it? “Excessive emotional responses”? No, actually a perfectly sensible suspicion of a man who has stated that the world is overpopulated.
That is your choice of course, based upon feeling not reason, but that comes with consequences – which will include your exclusion from polite society.
That is the cost of selfishness.
I would rather not exist in your ‘polite society’ as a vaccinated, digital serf, thanks.
Ditto. I can just imagine how much fun, that society party would be!
What this Grey cannot grasp , is these vaccines are .. fucking trials!!
I actually want mass complications from a jab born out of fear of an extremely non lethal coronavirus
It’s a lesson the collaborators needs to learn
It will also be rather funny
I reckon that has the potential to REALLY overwhelm the NHS.
Problem with that is our lying, cheating, scheming, manipulative government will just label those complications as new COVID symptoms and the sheeple will just accept it as the truth then go back to clapping for the NHS.
Hair falls out – COVID
Heart attack – COVID
Facial paralysis – COVID
Infertility – COVID – and bear in mind they were putting the ground work I for this one from the middle of last year when they were discussing how the lurgy effect sperm…
Anyway, you get the picture I’m sure.
There is only so far that will fly though
See: the Iraq War
If the vaccine doesn’t actually stop you passing on the virus, how is it possibly selfish not to have it? People are only having it to stop themselves getting severe symptoms, in the event that they actually catch covid in the first place.
About the worst comment I’ve ever read on this forum.
Come on LG, on reflection, do you really believe that? Really?
I think you’re being remarkably restrained.
I didn’t know trolls came out this early, I always thought they were nocturnal creatures skulking in the shadows.
Depends what time he comes on duty.
Ah, you must be a socialist. Clearly you believe in “the greater good” and that we should all therefore be subject to what the techocrats and scientists tell us is right. You are a very dangerous person.
When you start dragging in left/right etc, your argument,however good,is lost down the toilet!
Why are socialists so easily triggered?
Selfishness is wanting other people to take experimental medicines so that they themselves feel safe. To this end they may introduce strawmen such as immunosuppressed people that hithertofore they haven’t even thought about, even when said people have been denied cancer treatments and regular screenings for a year.
Don’t let this single-cell amoeba rile you up KH. That’s it’s raison d’etre for commenting here. Why these people can’t stick with their own polite society, and insist on gatecrashing and spoiling everyone else’s, is beyond me.
Taking individual decisions, and providing a role model for kids, is called Leadership, mon ami, not selfishness!
Are you interviewing for a role in the North Korean Embassy? BTW How is the Magic Money Tree working for North Korea?
You are Tobias Ellwood and I claim my £5
You say, ”In this country you are free to do what you wish, as long as that doesn’t get in the way of other people doing as they wish.’‘
Oh that is interesting, which Country do you live in? I live in Devon, England where if I drive down the road for a bracing walk on Dartmoor out of the way of everybody else the Police are likely to stop me and at best insist I go home and at worst issue me with a fixed penalty notice.
I quite fancy the idea of a country where I am free to do as I wish, maybe time to move!
Or perhaps I am right and she is wrong. I suspect I have looked more deeply into the question of vaccines than she has and have decided to defer a decision until more is known.
We are in the middle of an experiment in which the whole population is being coerced into taking part.
And no, that doesn’t make me an “anti-vaxxer”, just one who looks at each on its merits.
Weak points.
1.) You are falsely drawing an equivalence between a small minority of people who are anti-vax across the board to those of us here who are sceptical of experimental vaccines.
2.) Mask fanatics require people forgo their freedom to choose whether or not to wear a mask. “Anti-vaxxers” are merely exerting their own freedom to choose. Therefore, they are not two sides of the same coin.
3.) Your assertions about selfishness and consequences are based on a premise that is the subject of lockdown sceptics, so I have to wonder why you are here? That premise, in case you have forgotten, is that lockdowns are a disproportionate response to what amounts to a strong flu. Experimental vaccines are part of that disproportionate response and therefore the idea that people should suffer severe social consequences for refusing to take them is also disproportionate. If this illness was so severe, burning through the healthy population indiscriminately, you wouldn’t need to impose such draconian measures and “consequences”. The disease would be consequence enough.
Let’s talk of reason here; we have a new experimental vaccine to counter a virus that 99%+ will have no problems with and we’ve seen what it is capable of this past year – it is a known quantity. These mRNA vaccines are an unknown quantity and we do not know yet what long term complications may arise from their usage. It is not unreasonable to be reticent.
You speak of reason but it’s clear you are struggling here.
“Anti-vaxxers and mask fanatics are just two sides of the same coin. Those who consider their beliefs to be more important than the freedom of anyone else.”
Your over-wrought attacks on those resisting the idea that universal medication is the supposedly necessary solution to the non-problem of covid are rather bizarre. Clearly all you are going to achieve here is to annoy your targets and those who sympathise with them, and earn their enmity. Hard to see what motivates you, in those goals.
Regardless, here’s the simple explanation of what you are missing in this particular assertion. Mask fanatics seek to force others to comply with their personal absurdly overblown fear of a disease that is objectively not worthy of such, and to engage in positive behaviour that signals such compliance without any evidence of any efficacy in reducing the object of the said irrational fear. Those whom you falsely smear as “anti-vaxxers”, but are in most cases just opponents of the mass application of incompletely tested medication, particularly the forced application of such, are merely responding rationally to the situation in which there is coercion based on unjustified fear.
So it would be much more apt to say the opposite of what you say here – that the advocates of mass vaccination are the equivalent of mask fanatics. Cowards, responding irrationally, out of hysterical panic, to a not particularly frightening disease.
You are abusing reason in a similar manner to Snowdon in the debate with Toby. You blow up the commonplace risks of winter respiratory disease (in periodic pandemic form) into a supposed negative externality that justifies emergency action and state coercion. It doesn’t.
Because I don’t accept experimental vaccination (I have had vaccinations routinely in the past so no need for the strawman labelling) or mask wearing, it doesn’t mean I don’t respect the choice of other people on whether to be experimentally vaccinated or to wear a mask.
I am concerned that people aren’t being given the information to make an informed decision on the experimental vaccination and don’t think the MHRA, a heavily conflicted organisation, should have given the emergency approvals. But ultimately I respect the choice of my friends to opt for the experimental vaccine.
What I don’t accept is that attempts are being made to coerce me into having the experimental vaccination.
The queen is entitled to have the experimental vaccine, that’s her free choice. But when she tells those of us who aren’t in any circumstance going to have the experimental vaccination that we are selfish, and in particular when she uses her public position to do this, then that is someone trying to tread on my freedom to choose.
I’m not going to call the queen selfish for taking the vaccine that’s the difference between her and me on this that you completely miss in your assertion that it’s two sides of a coin. But I am going to call her out on her not respecting my choice.
I agree with you on every point here. I would also add to the concern you expressed that people aren’t being given the information to make an informed decision as to whether to have the vaccine at the moment (and even which vaccine they are being offered), as people are not being asked to sign a consent form when they go. According to the older people living around me that have been called up for the vaccine, it is a quick ‘in/out’ process without any information, discussion or leaflet offered.
“In this country you are free to do what you wish, as long as that doesn’t get in the way of other people doing as they wish.”
Not at the moment.
Apologies if this has been posted previously but in the light of today’s ’intervention’ by the Queen, found it particularly thought provoking. Maybe she should watch it and remember what we should stand up for in this country.
‘As with all tyranny, the truth will eventually emerge. In the future, people’s eyes will open to the exaggerations, half truths, distortions, and outright lies used to excuse today’s tyrannical restrictions.’
https://youtu.be/ohpGgYyFSaQ
Thanks, hadn’t see that. The complicity of good people who just accept the tyranny is occurring for the ‘greater good’ does keep this going. I would include many of my friends in these ‘good people’.
Quite an optimistic thought at the end that you quote. Perhaps that is true. Perhaps if we get out of this mess, some of my ‘good people’ friends will realise that this must never happen again, even if they can’t fully face up to objectively evaluating what has gone on. And the children have no reason to feel guilty about what has happened,but can make sure their children never have to go through this sort of thing.
Their favourite colour – technocracy grey – says it all.
Sorry- meant to post this after Lucan Grey’s comment- technocracy grey is the colour of the uniform back in the 30s that all the technocrats wore – coming soon to a store near you. They were and clearly all are psychopaths of the worst kind.
Snowdon’s 1980s sex dungeon was quite revealing about his state of mind. His ‘Big D’ nudie calendar was a particular highlight.
Soon, I suppose, we shall all be swept away by some vulgar little tumour.
As a youth I used to weep in butcher’s shops.
How’s Prince Philip doing since his jab?
How is your fear of wardrobe monsters this morning? Got those irrational emotions under control yet?
Decided to stay in bed. Can’t be too careful when it comes to wardrobe monsters.
But but but then the under-the-bed monsters will get you.
Time for the anti tokoloshe bricks.
“irrational emotions”
Spoken like a true technocrat.
You keep talking about rationality vs emotion. You are all over this forum displaying your disturbed emotional state. Maybe take a look at yourself re: irrationality.
The Queen’s intervention being highlighted is a positive for me. It shows they are getting a bit desperate to keep the sheep moving through the race and into the crush. The vaccine passports tactic has been quietly shelved because people realise it would be ultra vires. I don’t know where the fox killer stands on it, but there will still be a rake of shysters lining up to make some easy money if they are foolish enough to make coercion explicit. Anyway, I am going to have a few days off from posting; keeping ignoring the rules!!!
Anyone else seen this yet? Given our government’s track record of state-sanctioned coercion, guess this will be coming our way soon…

Disgusting comment. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Your comment deeply saddens me. It shows how twisted by fear the human mind can become. It also proves the point I made to a friend last night, that Israel are about to score a horrendous own goal by inciting hatred towards them for their human rights abuses. But I’m glad your comment has been allowed to stand and has not been removed by moderators, because this past year has been a huge journey for me… someone who identified – in our old construct – as real left-leaning liberal who believed the route to a better world was to suppress hate speech. I now realise – as a newbie “free speech” advocate – that forced suppression only makes an ideology stronger. We must listen to every voice, to every opinion, and challenge it openly if we want to. We then decide, democratically, the accepted rules by which we live. Those rules will not suit everyone but that is the double-edged sword of democracy. But democracy is NOT “we take a decision and then no one can challenge it”… which is why it’s fascinating to see those who were enraged by the idea of a second referendum on Brexit (who called it “a mockery of democracy” when the opposite was categorically true) demand we stopped our elected leaders from controlling our lives like this. I believe our elected leaders are NOT acting democratically because they are trying to change the fundamental accepted agreements upon which we live. The Coronavirus Act should be repealed immediately, all restrictions lifted, parliament dissolved and a General Election called for as soon as administratively possible. THAT would be a functioning democracy. By continuing along the current path, they are breaking a MUCH bigger set of rules. Ones we have agreed on for all of our lifetimes.
Israel have been committing human rights abuses since their re-invention. It is just that people generally don’t give a shit unless it affects them personally.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, the fact Israel is a rogue state & effectively above international law doesn’t justify the death of its entire population. Is any country innocent of occupation & take over?
Israel is an interesting case
It was born out of terrible circumstances
They are surrounded by enemies, though I suppose you could argue that is at least in part their doing
They have a right to defend themselves and many reasons to feel like being ruthless when faced with what they perceive is a threat. Up to now in general they have turned that ruthlessness outward rather than inward
Are they right to stand up for what they perceive to be their own interests? I think so
Do they overstep the mark? Probably
I am astonished about what they are doing currently though
I guess it shows that ruthlessness is a dangerous game
I have no issue with jews or even with Zionism, i believe in country & patriotism, I just take issue setting up home in someone else’s house.
How do work that out?
If there’s a democratic vote on something, you first have to honour the result before you can have another vote on it.
Should “Law” supersede a democratic vote? You get into very slippery territory if you don’t ever allow change.
But you’re right about free speech, our right to free speech is measured by the amount of shite we have to listen to that we disagree with!
Brexit only won 5 elections in a row….only 5. Feel free to keep demanding a revote so the Labour-4th Reich party can perfect mail in vote fraud and install election software to flip votes to win. See Bidentard for a detailed plan.
Remoantards. Not the brightest by any stretch, and few of them know a damn thing about the Reich.
apart from the 2nd referendum point (which absolutely was anti-democratic), I agree
Haha! I knew it would risk the backlash on here but… we’re all about free speech
“But I’m glad your comment has been allowed to stand and has not been removed by moderators“
It is indeed a pretty strong litmus test for freedom of speech, especially for Toby personally. Be interesting to see what happens here.
On the other hand, the Israel issue and the anti-semitism/zionism issues are rabbit holes of unlimited zealotry and mutual hostility that can absorb open-ended amounts of energy in any group. Best avoided where possible. But it isn’t always possible to do so.
The Israeli government has signed a ‘collaboration’ deal with Pfizer. Pfizer gets all the epidemiological data for free and the Israeli government gets ????. Part of the redacted agreement hints that a certain proportion of the population of Israel has to be vaccinated within a specific timescale. This is why Israel is ‘first in the race for vaccination’.
https://govextra.gov.il/media/30806/11221-moh-pfizer-collaboration-agreement-redacted.pdf
Israel does seem to be experiencing a ‘new disease’ following the start of vaccination.
“As of writing this article, 75.4% of Israel’s new Covid-19 cases are under 39. Only 5.5% were over 60. Only 59.9% of critical patients are over 60 years old. 40% are under 60. The country has also detected a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases amongst pregnant women. Many are in hospital, with 8 currently in critical condition.
In Israel, cases in new-born Covid-19 have seen a significant 1300% spike (from 400 cases in under two-year-olds on November 20 to 5,800 in February 2021).
Israel’s Covid-19 cases per capita spiked sharply and were amongst the highest in the world (if not the highest) during the first month of the ‘successful’ mass vaccination campaign. Within two months of intensive inoculation with the Pfizer vaccine, Israel managed to double the number of deaths it accumulated in the prior ten months of the pandemic. We are talking about 2, 700 Israeli citizens, a similar number to the amount of IDF soldiers who died in the Yom Kippur war, supposedly the most traumatizing event in modern Israeli history. ”

The Queen lecturing on thinking of other people. You really couldn’t make it up.
The parasites scolding the hosts….
You could and they did..
Either NHS England has the worst healthcare outcomes in Europe, or it has been guilty of stuffing deaths into particular periods to produce a spike.
The clue is in the Euromomo z scores for age group 15-44
No other country in Europe (including Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) has overall all cause mortality spikes April/May 2020, Dec 20/Jan 21 for that age group.
https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/#z-scores-by-country
I’ve just checked (not that I disbelieve you) and its stands out from all the other countries
This winter spike is extreme
What the hell are we doing to our 15-44 year olds?
It can only be the denial of health care this year. That’s the event that has to be looked as the culprit
Denial of health care, fear of going to hospital and suicides.
The school age daughter of one of my sister’s friends attempted suicide, but fortunately failed, in response to the fear raised by the lockdowners (good work there, SPI-M) and forced separation from her friends. Others didn’t fail.
No because it would give credibility to lockdowns & vaccines & guess WHO would take credit for that.
I was hoping and expecting this to happen earlier than it did but I think this virus might be about to disappear up its own fundament. I think that is why there is all the vaccine hysteria, if the virus disappears the whole house of cards will collapse before they have got their dastardly plans enacted.
Population dynamics is a very tricky subject, I remember working briefly on Locust swarming, what triggers the switch to a swarm? then why does it die down? all very tricky. Viruses have their own equally ticky population dynamics which I am hopeful will leave all the dodgy modellers dumbfounded.
Ever the optimist!
God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
A potential H bomb
God save the queen
She ain’t no human being
And there’s no future

Don’t be told what you want, you want
And don’t be told what you need
There’s no future, no future
No future for you

Mark Graham and Neil Oliver did discuss that two days ago – very good interview and chilling at the same time.
Neil Oliver: The idea this is the last lockdown is a fantasy
It was great stuff from Neil Oliver and having lived in Scotland I can only concur with his analysis.
Surprisingly Neil Oliver is frequently punted on my YouTube feed
Me too. I should look into his history podcasts.
He is right. I have been predicting LD 4 to family and colleagues. Sept 2021. Variants, model-mafia-fake-data, some outrageous Reichstag event they will stage (like Drumpf’s supposed riot at the Capitol, completely staged). The Deep State is very Deep, and very evil.
I am very loath to criticise Her Majesty but why did she allow herself to be used this way? Did none of her advisers even think this was a bad idea and mentioned it to the goverment? Obviously not.
This is constitutional monarchy for you, the Monarch has to be seen to be supporting the government of the day. Sometimes I wish that she should have said no from the word go but that would have triggered a constitutional crisis.
I will also reserve my anger for whoever wrote the speech – the cheek to say “think of others.” Why? People have various reasons for not wanting it, it doesn’t make them selfish. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
So sorry Your Majesty, I think you and your courtiers have miscalculated badly on this.
You’d trust ignorant charlatans like Bhakdi and Yeadon over a very elderty lady and dim pricks like Lucan Grey?
What’s wrong with you?
Lucan isn’t dim. I have seen him pop up on other sites, you might not agree but I have always liked reading his musings. A non-conformist, even on here.
I can relate to non-conformity, but it just seems to be contrary, though I am contrarian too by nature.
Her Majesty does not have to be seen supporting the government of the day, her role is to be impartial on all things political.
Agree and I did put my point across clumsily, should have added the word “publicly”
‘Her Majesty’ and her lineage are a blight on the world, and have been for centuries. I do not understand the veneration of her at all.
If she doesn’t understand that this is about our fundamental human rights and liberties, then I think its past time she abdicated.
Well it’s definitely a facist regime and now she wants to make you a moron.
Wonder if she’s still got that bad publicist she had recently? Remember the publicist the Royals had that put up that article in the press with photos of King William-to-be and his family at home in their house telling us all to stay home and commenting on how the children were enjoying running round in the garden. Very much an own goal – given that there they were at their his-and-hers desks in their nice big home with nice big garden (several acres as I recall) and making it plain they were “doing their duty for the nation” staying home. They were absolutely slain in the comments – by all the people cooped up in inner cities and/or in tower block flats with the children shrieking their heads off etc. Within days (if not hours) the Royals had poached Megan’s publicist LOL.
It would be interesting to find out. That said I have noticed that they’ve stopped doing that as I think they were made aware of those comments..
Actually that bad publicist did use to work for the Sussexes and possibly has already resigned.

Regarding the May elections, I have a feeling that the Conservatives, Lib Dems, Green, SNP want to follow Labour to go into the way of the Dodo.
In that case, let us grant them their heart’s desire and vote for anti-lockdown parties and candidates.
We should use the opportunity of the ballot box to make our voices heard.
The only good thing about the Con party of Dictator Doris is that the Muslim-Communist-Racist party of Labour might actually be worse….though that is hard to imagine.
The fact that Doris still polls ahead of that loser Starmer shows that many people are aware that under Labour we would have lockdowns on the scale of Spain and Belgium. Even David Blunkett is calling them out on their authoritarianism.
Here we go again. Get the mitigation in early for the most oppressive totalitarian, high spending, incompetent government EVER in the history of the UK. Cromwell, eat yer puritanical heart out!! But since it wasn’t Commie Corbyn and Abacus Abbott (chortle, chortle) it’s OK, isn’t it?
Is this some form of national party-political Stockholm syndrome madness? By imprisoning the people, destoying the economy and inflicting experimental death jabs the Tories have effectively forfeited the right to ever govern again.
It’s now up to the people to ensure another lot of neo-lib Centrists (such as Starmer’s lot) don’t replace them; that is to say we have to do something for a change…
Issue is not to split the vote to the point of insignificance
I am hoping for four candidates so I can write the C word on the ballot. 5 would be idea as I can pluralise, If it’s six choices, then I will write TWUNTS on it.
I remember someone spelling out WANKER in their ballot during a Scottish parliamentary elections.
I will be pleasantly surprised if there is such a candidate in my area.
Stop calling it a Vaccine.
It is experimental mRNA. Trials end in 2023.
95% of over 70s, injected by end of Jan, yet supposedly, 13 K dead in the UK in Feb + hundreds dead right after taking the injection and thousands injured – unreported by Fake News.
Conclusion: the injection does not work. If it did why the 13 K dead if the flu has magically disappeared? For the record the average flu-pneum-resp dead count in Feb, in a bad flu year is about 11-12K – so this year’s pandemic is not really a pandemic is it?
This is the problem with LDS pushing the experimental mRNA. There is no proof it works, it does not stop transmission, and compared to past years, there is not much diff in dead count. So why would anyone take it if you have 99.7% immunity already?
There is no science, no logic to the injection. So why do they push it?
More to the point, why do suckers so want to believe it? The real disease here is cowardice and group think conformity. Yesterday climate change, today Covid, tomorrow…?
So many so called sceptics seem to be looking for any excuse to take experimental gene therapy; the missus, the kids, the grand-kids, the boss, and now the Queen (gawd bless ‘er).
Only Moderna and Pfizer are mRNA. Others follow more conventional approaches. None are true vaccines – long term immunity for a rapidly mutating RNA virus isn’t going to happen.
The mRNA types are dry runs to test the efficacy of the mRNA mechanism for delivering drugs, with ‘personalised drugs’ as the Holy Grail. ‘Pesonalised’ drugs cannot be tested en masse by definition, so that eliminates a substantial part of Big Pharma’s costs. A lot of the drugs they do develop pass Phase I and Phase II testing but fail at Phase III (large scale tests for drug side effects), so they have a lot of material just waiting to be pushed out as ‘personalised’ treatment.
Perhaps people shouldn’t worry too much about Neil Ferguson’s dismissive tone towards dissenters in his emails; maybe he is simply reflecting the hostile attitudes of “normal science” and his own innate biases…
Scientific American (September 2000) carried a book review of “Thomas Kuhn: A Philosophical History for our Times” by Steve Fuller. Kuhn describes “normal science” as a shared worldview (by scientists), a paradigm, within which ‘anomalies are generally ignored. Eventually difficulties within a paradigm become unsustainable and a revolution occurs’. By contrast Fuller asserts ‘the paradigms of normal science confer a phony legitimacy and autonomy on scientific practice. Alternative versions of the “truth” are delegitimized, and establishment science becomes the only game in town. Young scientists are acculturated within the paradigm and spend the rest of their careers tweaking theories. Dissent is frowned upon. The real problems of society are ignored in the pursuit of the next decimal point.’
Does any of this ring a bell with those of us unimpressed with the current Covid “scientific paradigm”?
Good book by Kuhn – I read it. He is an atheist I am not. But he deconstructed Darwinism as a fraud quite nicely and he delves into group think and of course the massive funding of said group think. The paradigm will shift back to reality once this generation of corrupted grafters dies and hopefully a new generaition eschews the military-industrial complex (gov’t funding of evthg is what Eisenhower meant, and the Deep State which inevitably grows and controls), and goes back to basics.
It might not be the fundamentals of virology and epidemiology that are off, but just the corruption of science when it comes to public policy.
However, if it is a scientific earthquake rumbling, is it the clashing of the germ vs terrain theory perhaps? If that is the case, then I fear this gets very dark. For if terrain theory is correct then we’ve taken a massive wrong turn with the mass global vaccination push
According to Ioannidis a large part, if not the majority, of published medical research cannot be replicated.
Look at latest UK Column , Ferguson has zero qualifications in sweet FA
Prince Philip has an infection
If the infection was anything other than covid they would be shouting it from the roof tops
Then some garbage from the Queen
‘He gave his life to protect others’ narrative is being set up
Watch this space
After the Capt Tom pysop I would not be surprised. Didn’t think we would see him again when he went in. If it was covid though we would be hearing it. If he had the vaccine it would be more interesting. For the record I would be very surprised if any of the RF have had it. One thing the Royals aren’t is stupid.
I agree with this, Philip had the vaccine, he now ill, not surprising his age. Queen’s son is pro all of this crap, vaccine take up is lower than the government wants, put it all together et voila comments from the Queen.
“The latest results from Imperial’s REACT study, published yesterday, have shown that more than nine out of ten of those vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine develop COVID-19 antibodies.”
We are so far into a mass vaccination regime and they still can’t show that it reduces deaths – just some guff about antibodies. I suspect they don’t work very well. I would have expected a collapse in deaths (rather than a similar fall as 2020 spring) given the outlandish 95% efficacy claims and we have vaccinated everybody at risk + lockdown + seasonal + herd immunity.
I suspect – given the worldwide fall mirrored exactly in the UK that this is 100% the natural virus progression and LD and vaccine has nothing to do with it.
Precisely, simple question I posted below. 95% of +70s or 9 mn people injected by end of Jan, yet 13 K dead in feb + hundreds dead immediately after the injection?
This is the same dead total as any normal bad flu year in Feb. So the costly experimental drug program failed didn’t it?
I don’t think 90% of over 70s by end of January is right. I only had mine, 71, (sorry) last week and I think they were just about rounding off the over 70s.
I can’t find any information about antibody levels, pre and post vaccination with the REACT study. Surely there should be this very basic requirement to evaluate the effects? Maybe I’ve missed it? The daily ONS data shows that pre rollout, antibody testing had remained laughably low, with a sudden increase following rollout.
This is what I’m referring to..
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/testing#card-lab-based_testing_and_capacity_by_test_type
How will a “vaccine” stop people dying of old age?
I’ve asked the question before if the antibodies created by the vaccine are distinct from the natural antibodies you create due to infection?
Would be interesting to know how many new “republicans” there are now..
I was a republican before. I resisted writing “unelected sponger speaks” in the Daily Mail comments on the article about the Queen’s remarks.
I suppose I am a monarchist, for at least one of the reasons Hitchens cites – it prevents President Blair
The Queen has been disappointing but I suppose she feels she must be neutral (or she believes all the madness)
I don’t think a President would have been any better
Prince Charles worries me – but is there any reason to think an appointed/elected President would be better?
Why assume the only alternative to being ruled, is centralized technocracy?
I don’t think the Queen saying that people who don’t get the jab are “selfish” is being neutral. In fact, this is only occasion I can remember where she specifically addressed people’s private choices.
If that’s what she said then it’s reprehensible, I agree
The thing is it never did prevent President Blair, or Cameron or Johnson. If the queen just does what she is told then she is simply a puppet for the current PM!
Yes that’s a good point
But she still represents the nation, and on balance has done it better than a Blair type creature would have done
Depends what you mean by “better”
I generally think equality of opportunity and equal rights are a good thing, but that having an aim of equal outcomes is mad and bad – that probably makes me a racist and an -ist of all kinds in some people’s eyes
People used to think the royals were “better” but I don’t think many do any more. I don’t. They just perform a function that seems to be a function countries require, that someone needs to do, and deciding who that someone will be isn’t simple
Equality of anything is bull shit in a hierarchical society. People higher up the food chain simply think they are superior. Equity is leftist bollox.
Ultimately the choice i between a constitutional monarchy and a republic.
The constitutional monarchoes have a better track record of avoiding civil strife.
I’ve not really had strong feelings either way about the Royal Family however the Queen’s intervention is very disappointing. What she has done here is far stronger than suggesting people think hard about how they vote in a referendum.
Admittedly very elderly people do stop taking fools gladly and start saying exactly what they think (and hang the consequences) but there is a strong suspicion here that she has been persuaded to come out in public. WHY?
Can it be the need to get everyone vaccinated before the virus disappears for the summer?
Yep – it’s the way she tells ’em!
Diamond Geezer, https://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/ is on form with his blog today about the new series of government ads. I thought he might have been one of us until I read his last paragraph. Sadly most of the comments seem very much on the government side.
I’ve noticed those adverts, I’m sure people on Twatter who made those “Look them in the eyes” reaction posters will make quick work of editing them.
“Every lost job is making a difference”
“Every year without an education is making a difference”
“Every cancelled cancer screening is making a difference”
“It didn’t hurt a bit” seems to be the latest covid catchphrase. The Government clearly thinks we are all children afraid of the pain of an injection. In which case, the next person who says it to me might get punched on the arm, as we did in school after the BCG.
Indeed, they are so convinced they are right, they can comprehend a different point of view. A customer of mine commenting on the Dutch riots a few weeks ago said” can’t they understand lockdowns are for their own good?”
I’d say pain (or otherwise) at the time of the jab would be the least of our worries.
Didn’t hurt a bit
I’m going to toss out a thought I’ve had over the past couple of days. I worked in pesticide regulation many years ago and kept an interest in the field. The breeding of pesticide resistant in pest insects, weeds, etc. is a well-known phenomenon. Pests that survive being doused with a pesticide will go on to breed resistant progeny.
Since these jabs do not prevent people from getting covid, if simply a milder case, doesn’t that mean that the vaccinated will become Petri dishes, breeding “new variants” that are, by definition, resistant to the vaccine? This fits with my understanding of the biology, but I think there are commenters with a better background than mine.
Biologically mutations lose functionality, there is no apple istore to add DNA software. So yes new variants based on repeated injections should arise in different hosts if the virus wants to survive. This does not mean it turns into a bear. It does mean that over time and this is supported by many, many studies, the more injections you put into your body, the sicker at some point in time you will be from the virus. You will weaken your own immune system. Contrary to propaganda these injections do not protect you, they actually make you weaker over a number of years.
Which is EXACTLY their point.
Greater number of mutations is what you get with trying to control natural process, as you say pesticides actually encourage adaptation & Lockdowns just hamper natural herd immunity as do vaccines, which facilitates mutation.
I know nothing about flu, but did you get frequent mutation before vaccines?
Indeed. And that situation is damm scary. Without sterilising immunity from vaccines the whole process could select for deadlier strains as it will have more hosts to transmit through, hosts that don’t die and go about without displaying symptoms.
The unvaccinated will not stand a chance of that happens.but, remember, this is a very unlikely scenario.
Over the last 2 days I saw reports that Finland found a new variant which supposedly is vaccine resistant and New York, too.
How they know that already puzzles me.
I find myself longing for the censor when I read the drivel and garbage posted in this comments section. I rarely visit it – when I do, I realise why. Most of the rubbish posted just needs deleting. I come here in search of interesting views and news. Such a pity, because I would under most circumstances assume that LS was read by intelligent people.
You came here to troll you liar.
Feel free to give us some interesting views and news of your own
Well fuck off then.
Could I recommend that you stick to the Guardian?
I find lots of ‘interesting views and news’ down here, but much of the stuff that I chose not to read is interesting and helpful to others – unfortunately I found nothing interesting or news worthy in your comment and, now I know, I shall censor your ‘interesting views and news’ – its a shame you have nothing to say, different views and news is usually interesting
“longing for the censor” lol
So with over 1500 comments EVERYDAY for the last 11 months and you can’t find anything interesting to read. What a wanker.
Oh look, the single cell amoeba Lucan, has a troglodyte friend.
Most people here believe in freedom – including the freedom to leave. We respect your right to leave.
Wow, comments section is a troll fest today. Interesting
It is weird, we have vaccinated around 19 million people, the population now have much immunity whether due to vaccines or nature, it is a seasonal virus and summer is coming and the numbers are going down sharply.
But instead of announcine VV day (victory over virus) we have increasing hysteria, an unprecedented call by the Queen to get vaccinated to a population where around 1/3rd already have and increasing attacks on the sceptics. Why are we not out rejoicing in the streets, opening the pubs and having a good time?
Are people too scared to be happy? Or is it all something more sinister and there is a desperate attempt to maintain the hysteria to meet some hidden agenda?
“Are people too scared to be happy? Or is it all something more sinister and there is a desperate attempt to maintain the hysteria to meet some hidden agenda?”
If the government wanted them happy the press would be singing a different tune. There is a more sinister agenda, because there is no need to jab anyone who has had the virus and recovered – they are already immune. No the jab is NOT for the public good.
I just spoke to someone who reminded me what she had said when we last met two months ago
‘See, like I said Covid would come back even worse than the first time and I was right’.
I put it down to TV addiction.
That’s a key ingredient for sure.
Yeah just like two years ago. Worst year of death since, I don’t know, 2009. When we last locked down.
Such people are idiotic if they haven’t developed even the slightest case of scepticism by now. 40% of infections occurred in hospitals, PCR boosted cases by close to 40% over winter leading to less staff and less beds, thousands of excess deaths at home nothing to do with the rona. And Care Home deaths now inexplicably shooting up as the vaccine arrives.
They shouldn’t be allowed out, ever.
The latest NHS advertisement on TV is really nasty.
Shows people rejecting hugs, swerving while passing someone on a lane. Strapline is ‘Let’s keep going’. Vomit inducing.
Dystopian stuff for sure. Yeah it was all just a jolly. All this elbow bumping, window visiting, zoom partying, domestic abusing, suiciding, inflation driving, unemployment rising, fun and effin games!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, outside I’m seeing fewer masks. Swervers are still roaming the streets though.
Whoever thought of these series of Muchausen Syndrome by Proxy adverts really needs to be jailed. As is the head of the ad agency that did them.

I think they cannot let our argument win through. If we do, it means the downfall of giants around the globe. They’ve wrecked lives and economies, I believe partly as a result of hysterics, but also using that chaos for their own gain.
time for a debt jubilee.
You think the opposition are getting rattled – and rolling out more of the 77 Brigade on duty than usual? You may be right…
Imagine joining the Army, thinking it’s going to be manly, patriotic, active, exciting. You do your training, fun and games, shoot some guns, run around on a field at night, think you’re something special. You move into J2 – wow, now you’re even more cool, you do “intelligence”. You imagine soon you’ll be debriefing some terrorist who was snatched off the streets of Damascus by Task Force Macho, asking him nicely where the bomb is about to go off.
Instead you find yourself stuck in some dingy little room in front of a computer all day like any other NPC, writing tweets about facemasks and compiling sitreps about dissident literature found on the side of a bus stop in Hemel Hempstead. Can you imagine the self-loathing and humiliation that these poor saps must be experiencing?
It could be worse. Billy Connolly in the 1970s ridiculed army recruitment ads, saying the reality was that you ended up “belting down the Shankill Road” (in Belfast). “The best laxative known to man!”
Don’t be so hard. It is really dangerous being a keyboard warrior. I await the first VC awarded to one of these brave warriors for selflessly rescuing others brought down by RSI during a salvo of LDS comments
Probably the same troll, with different handles. No originality in the comments. Pathetic.
LDS must have made the Integrity Initiative’s hit list.

Care home “Covid” deaths have increased by 240% since Vaccinations began
https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/02/25/care-home-covid-deaths-have-increased-by-240-since-vaccinations-began/
Government data here:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/carehomeresidentdeathsregisteredinenglandandwalesprovisional
It’s possible that people who are vaccinated test positive
But the more worrying thing is that all-cause deaths are up
The two most obvious conclusions are
1) The vaccines don’t work that well on this cohort and/or
2) The vaccines are causing more deaths
Further investigation is needed, that won’t happen
From the start with the vaccine what bothered me was that most people didn’t need it and those who would benefit most might be killed by it or it wouldn’t work that well on them
The vast majority of AZ “vaccinations” seem to cause (at best) flu-like side-effects in almost everyone, even the young and healthy. Care home residents are frail enough to be killed by that – not disimilarly from what happened with the actual virus in Spring. If they die of flu-like symptoms guess what is going on the death cert – so they will never investigate as it helps towards the statistical deception.
There are other possibilities but they seem very unlikely – such as the act of vaccinating itself increasing spread (not likely as asymptomatic spread is bullshit).
Covid labelled deaths in care home may have gone up just because covid labelled deaths have gone up across all settings in particular hospitals going into January.
But what is noticeable, and you allude to this with your 240% figure, is that care homes seem to have been the setting for a significantly greater proportion of covid deaths during the period over which vaccination took place. So the relative increase in care homes covid labelled deaths has been much greater than in hospitals.
That needs explaining. Why did the covid labelled deaths in care homes go up disproprtionately?
Posted yesterday, but worth reposting. This is “Making sense of Mortality” Joel Smalley – reflects the work he has been doing in the last week and is an excellent, informative piece. An hour and a half long but well worth it. Especially the hypotheses in the last half hour re: January care home death spike.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWTaEtkZiA4
Thanks. I watched that in full a few days ago. It’s excellent.
Joel is a skilled data analyst and modeller. And he use models in the right way, since his models are based on the data, incorporate the actual ongoing data and attempt to make verifiable predictions.
His models are necessarily quite complicated and sophisticated, so it is difficult for someone like me to independently verify his findings. Which is why I like to do my own very limited and basic data analyses to get a feel for what is going on, and to force myself to address biases.
Why did the covid labelled deaths in care homes go up disproportionately?
Yes, I believe that is the point.

Great article
This is mandatory. One cannot be admitted unless one submits to the test, which is a clear violation of health care ethics. Yet the health care professional bodies are noticeable only by their complicity.
Thought I saw a dog wearing a face mask. Turned out to be Labrador carrying a blue ball in his mouth!
I hallucinated one on a swan the other day, posh fuckers.
Don’t get them started on compulsory vaccinations!!!
my poodle isn’t!
Maligators do that.
Nothing surprises us these days, does it?
Our granddaughters own a “Sproodle” who would eat any masks or anything else for that matter within 100 yards.
I feel the word “cunt” is being overused here, it’s losing its shock value, I’m almost immune to the offence of it now.

That doesn’t surprise me. The experience over Gulf War Syndrome must still be fresh in the US army’s mind.
Myself and others have pointed that one consequence of lockdown is that people will not want to set up, buy or expand businesses if they can be closed. I thought I would list some of the major concerns for anyone thinking of setting up a business in detail
· Businesses being forced to close can be justified if there is good reason eg restaurant breaking hygiene regulations, hotels breaking fire regulations. The justification for closing businesses is that staff and customers could infect each other. Under lockdown many businesses closures made no sense. In businesses such as clothes shops, electrical shops, furniture shops, bookshops, museums, zoos and galleries these businesses were located in large premises, customers could easily stay a long distance from each other and often didn’t have many customers in at the same time. In hotels guests stay in separate rooms and don’t mix very much. Who would want to risk setting up a business which could be closed without justification?
· Even if your business could operate, the closure of other businesses would deprive you of trade. For instance, the closure of shops, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, theatres, cinemas and hotels would kill the trade of taxi firms.
· Your business may be able to operate but under restrictions and your business may not be viable. For instance, if a restaurant was able to do takeaway, this may not compensate for the loss of sit in trade.
· Open ended lockdowns have been introduced which means business could be forced to close with no idea when they could reopen again.
· Your business would be forced to close regardless of its characteristics. For instance, if you ran a large restaurant with the tables are spaced out and customer could easily stay far apart, you would still be forced to close.
· Even if you were willing to take the risk of setting up a business, lenders would be unwilling to give out loans due to the risk.
· You may end up paying for services you can’t use and disputes could occur. For instance, if I was running a shop why should I pay rent for premises I can’t use but the landlord may still expect rent.
· Your business would still be forced to close even if you could invest in measures such as ventilation, using disinfectants, screens etc.
· Being allowed to re-open but forced to spend a fortune on anti covid measures only to be closed again.
Well said. Neil Oliver made similar points late last year and this is possibly another reason why many businesses won’t survive – they’ve spent loads of money in many cases what they don’t have to make their businesses “Covid secure” even if they know its all bollocks.
And I also read somewhere that many businesses that are currently closed are having to dole payouts to staff who have had developed health problems from being forced to wear masks and/or due to the OTT cleaning regimes. I can imagine that if this is the case, they will simply close their businesses for good and file for bankruptcy when the last of the payouts are complete.
How many “non-essential” shops are actually busy, especially during the week? In my town for example we have many “niche” shops, in my street is a model building business, they are only busy before xmas. A very posh (expensive) clothes shop had a sign, 5 customers at once max, I thought, you’ll be lucky if you get 5 a day!
I seriously doubt it. If you go past Bond Street or Knightsbridge even before this shit show, the desginer shops would be empty. Possibly have 1-2 customers and they’re mostly wealthy tourists.
I wonder how these businesses were viable with few customers particularly with high rents in London.
It would be a disaster if the model shop had to close over Christmas which proves my point a problem that lockdowns creates is businesses having to close during their busiest and most lucrative periods.

Do not rollout Covid-19 vaccine passports
Signatures: 205,832
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/569957
I remember Tobias Ellwood raising this as a possibility in Parliament and eyes were raised, not that long ago.
The problem is that businesses will do their work for them in requiring ‘passports’. The government won’t have to mandate them, and I doubt they’ll censure any business that does require them on the grounds of discrimination. They’re already subsidising firms in the production of these, aren’t they?
I wrote to my son’s school yesterday to express my concerns over their new policies:

The main aim is control, the ID leads to ID control, no vax no ID no liberty. Why drag out the Queen at this stage to do the divide and conquer bit? The coercion is massive, never before seen and still the pharma companies claim non liability.
Indeed, I posted a link a couple of days ago to the consultation they’ve quietly pushed out over The UK digital identity and attributes trust framework here:

Obviously, you can substitute Tesco for UK Government and the larger scale they could operate at to see where this is going.

Unbelievable
Have you read Simon Elmers Qui Bono piece on ASH someone posted ! It’s chilling !!…
Yes, highly recommended, especially as it is written from a genuine ‘left’ point of view.
He makes a very strong case that many on the neoliberal ‘right’ are driving the assault on freedom through the imposition of a biosecurity state, and making an awful lot of cash while doing so (which is why they support this, of course). This assault on freedom is truly coming from many quarters. That is why I think those of us here have to discuss our political differences, but not be divided by them (and why I am very pleased to have people like RickH around).
My view is that there needs to be a political realignment: something along the lines of small business/freedom/state fulfilling its proper regulatory public-interest function vs. large corporations/cronyism/regulatory capture/biosecurity control state
Absolutely! I would suggest that a succinct word for those in favour of “small business/freedom/state fulfilling its proper regulatory public-interest function” is Liberal. And for the “large corporations/cronyism/regulatory capture/biosecurity control state” the best word that comes to mind is Fascism. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
Unfortunatly ‘liberal’ is discredited and it’s proper meaning has been lost. Fascism still works though.
Yes – thanks for this insight. This is going to be one of the most important conflicts of our time. Those of us who believe in freedom must be prepared to fight.
Holy shit it’s good. Going to have to come back to it after work!
This is nothing new. In my former life I attended a conference in Munich (how appropriate) nearly 20 years ago where this kind of data capture was being discussed. One particular point I recall was recording movements around shops to see where particular people went or lingered, linked to their store card via there mobile phone – this is when phones were just starting to have GPS and Bluetooth.
Tesco and their like may not have planned for this exactly but they will see it as an opportunity from their sweetest dreams.
I’m thinking of getting a still. And/ or stockpiling vodka, gin and whisky instead of gold to use as future currency!
Always had a lot of respect for QE2, but I am now officially a republican…
The ‘didn’t hurt a bit’ comment is truly idiotic, and utterly misses the seriousness of the issue. Very disappointed.
I am sure she has been pressurized, but should have the sense to resist. Vaccination, like all medical matters, should be private, and the use of public figures in this PR campaign is disturbing.
Definitely coerced for the cause

Government announces the award of The Covid Medal
A spokesperson said ‘In recognition of the selfless service of many during the pandemic we are pleased to announce the award of The Covid Medal
This medal is a first in many ways. It will be the first ‘green’ medal as it will be manufactured using recycled soft drink cans. It will be the first medal not to bear the monarchs bust which will be replaced by the bust of our current leader
The medal ribbon will be a deep cholate brown colour and the reverse of the medal will feature a skull and crossbones motif
The medal will be awarded to anyone who served in the occupation forces between March 2020 and June 2021
The initial recipient’s will be Police Officers, PCSO’s, Special Constables, Covid Marshalls, Hospital Security Staff, Care Home Security Security Staff and that bloke who collects the trolleys at Morrisons
Auxiliaries such as informers can apply for the medal provided that they can provide written evidence that their activities resulted in the collection of £1,000 in Covid fines’

The choice of the ribbon colour is in recognition of a turd produced by Princess Nut Nut in early March 2020 and which foretold the lockdown. The skull and crossbones motif is a tribute to the suicide and cancer victims who gave their lives so unselfishly in this great cause

Outstanding once again, Cecil. You had me for a bit.
I started reading it (before spotting your name at the top) and said to myself, “This is the sort of thing Cecil would make up.” Doh!
Make up, moi?

If the British Government wasn’t a marketing wing of big pharma and actually worked for the benefit of the British people then they would say NO to international vaccine passports for travel purposes. Countries like Spain would then have to decide how much they wanted British tourism £’s.

What a surprise
He’s certainly had no training as a computer programmer.
He has experience & expertise in destroying lives though, so maybe he had the right skill sets required?
To be fair, common sense, humility, intellectual rigour, curiousity, honesty and some basic reading up on the subject would have been sufficient for him not to make certain mistakes
Those aren’t the qualities that would have got him the job.

Wasn’t the main source of information Wikipedia?
I got an O’level in Biology and CSE grade 2 chemistry. Even with my math skills I could do better than Proff Pantsdown. I am more qualified then he is.
My very basic knowledge in Biology makes me more knowledgeable than Professor Pantsdown.
Who knew?
just watched the Toby / Snowdon debate.
One fundamental issue.
All the data quoted was relating to people “with” covid. At no point was it commented that the data relates to people with a positive test and so when Snowdon was talking about NHS stress and large numbers of “covid cases” when we know that many of the cases are people who tested positive and had a sniffle or were asymptomatic and that many of these people were not actually ill with covid.
Same with deaths (dying with and dying from and the “within 28 days of a positive test” .
This is something that must be highlighted at the start of any discussion of this type.

What is “selfish”, your majesty, is people wearing masks and supporting lockdown due to an exaggerated and selfish terror of their own mortality, whilst simultaneously denying the cost of that lockdown because they happen to be comfortable.
my response to the ‘argument’ that refusal to wear masks or get vaccinated is ‘selfish’- ‘oh, fuck off’ – I refuse to even engage with that ‘argument’, which I recognise for what it is: crude manipulation and bullying. it’s gas-lighting. it doesn’t deserve any other response – no matter who is making it.
Agree. I simply tell that person to foxtrot Oscar, there’s no point engaging with them if that’s all they can sprout out.
That Christopher Snowden really is an unlikable twat. He has zero professionalism and I didn’t have to watch to the end of the debate to know who came out much better.
A really unhelpful comment that brings sceptics into disrepute. Stop doing our enemies’ work for them.
Nuke the Queen.

One of the most depressing thing about muzzles is that people are now using them as fashion items.
The word ‘yeuk’ springs to mind.
If Asymptomatic Transmission exists vaccinating people with monkey spunk that only suppresses symptoms is an ideal way to promote it.
Received the following missive from my professional body this morning:

With safe vaccines some way off
Dear Mrs Queen,
With all due respect I really don’t care if the injection is excruciating. What bothers me is the long term impacts on the vaccinated, especially the young, which we cannot possibly know at this stage. I am not selfish or anti vaccination I am just exercising reason and asking to see all the data before I make a decision.
The precautionary principle has been very much the driving force of political and scientific decision making for the last year. I find it slightly odd that in this single instance of a novel vaccine, exercising that principle now makes one selfish.
Kind regards, A serf.

You have to be a mediocre person to be willing to spend your life in ‘Elf & Safety’, or HR, or local government. It shows, if nothing else, very limited horizons. Ok – somebody’s got to do it, but why does this automatically confer upon the mediocre the right to set the rules for the rest of us? We are now living in a Mediocracy, and God isn’t it awful?
Good morning, all.
It’s a beautiful morning here in North London; the sun is out and there isn’t a cloud in the sky.
I notice there are a few trolls on here this morning.
My advice: ignore the trolls and enjoy the sunshine.
Much more fun to have them here
If they are confined to the site they aren’t getting any of that Vit-D
Grrrrr!!! Here in São Paulo it is grey and wet and I have to see my geriatrics doc this morning to be lectured on my lifestyle choices. I smoke, drink, eat red meat and honk around on a big bike, and yet I’m still healthier than 95% of the patients he’ll meet.
I’m actually curious to see if the vaccine will come up today, this is the first check-up since they rolled out the experimental jabs. Let’s see
Enjoy YOUR sunshine Ceriain, lots of natural vitamin D
grey and wet and free – sounds like what England used to be
Thanks for the Sao Paulo update.
Out on the bike also, but no chance of any vitamin D here in Cumbria, England, although it’s dry and not too cold today.
I’ve read that Brazil has purchased 20 million does of the Covaxin experimental vaccine from India
With the population of 213 million in Brazil, I guess Brazil will only be needing 212,999,999 doses in total once they’ve accounted for you!
On the debate between Christopher Snowdon and Toby Young, chaired by Mike Graham, I thought Toby’s judgement that it was a draw was ridiculously generous to his opponent. Snowdon made little attempt to offer an evidenced argument. He apparently believes in lockdowns on the basis of never ending exponential increase of infections. He claimed that this was logic, mathematics and biology. He is of course right about mathematics and logic. In mathematics, a purely formal science, never ending exponential growth is perfectly possible. But his claim that it is biology is either disingenuous or ignorant. There is no such thing as endless exponential growth in biology. Specifically, in relation to a viral infection, exponential growth would rapidly run up against the insuperable barrier of insufficient potential hosts. Either Snowdon knew this or he is too ignorant to authoritatively offer an opinion on the biology of infectious disease.
In contrast, Toby was obviously prepared with lots of relevant evidence on the ineffectiveness and harms of lockdowns. Snowdon dismissals of these was revealing, especially his callous lack of concern in respect of the harm of lockdowns in the developing world, which is reversing the long run trend of eliminating poverty.
Snowdon has revealed himself to be an utter prat. From objecting to the harms of sugar taxes to supporting catastrophic lockdown. He can FRO.
Your right CS maybe right about maths but like all lockdown supporters they definitely wrong about biology. A 180 years ago William Farr a good friend of Florence Nightingale noticed all pandemics followed the same curve up and curve down. It’s not as CS says a coincidence that this happens it’s because as people get infected their also recover and immune to the point immunity brings down infections. As Farr noticed 180 years ago it was also noticed to have happened in Wuhan last year. The lockdown there occurred after half the city was evacuated and the virus had fizzled out thus explaining why the lockdown there only lasted two months. Surely people should be asking themselves now why no where in the world as lockdown not succeeded like it did in Wuhan.
Was C Snowdon the person who gave rise to the “Snowdon Report” that rubbished the GBD?
Thanks to all of you who suggested doing late night shopping to avoid the zombies.
I’ve been to my local several times now for supplies about an hour before they close – you folks were right, much more likely to see other unmasked customers.
Not only that, despite ‘no mask no entry’ signs on the front door, the staff I saw either weren’t wearing masks or had them around their chin.
That suggests the Maskholes who would hector or berate them must only be daytime shoppers. Which is interesting in and all of itself. Safety first,eh?

The definition of sheep
I was doing this anyway as I am a natural morning person
Not a mask in sight at 7.00am either
Probably because the management had all gone home leaving the newly promoted Supervisor in charge.
My wife has been doing the shopping in the evenings for the last few weeks because it’s quieter but she wars a mask “because it’s the rules”. I’ve given up arguing that one with her.
Last week she went shopping on a weekday afternoon. She came out of the supermarket visibly stressed, complaining about the number of people in there and the lack of social distancing and saying that she wouldn’t be doing afternoon shopping again.
I didn’t help the mood this morning when I pointed out that a week later she hadn’t caught anything despite the apparent “over crowding” in the supermarket.
I feel very fortunate to have a husband who is as sceptical as me. Much as I love him in every way if he were a bed wetter I’d have lost all respect for him and I know I would struggle to love some who I couldn’t respect. My contempt for people who think like your wife is, I am afraid, considerable. I wish I could be more forgiving but I have never suffered fools gladly so hats off to you for not divorcing her!
I can’t deny that the last year hasn’t been without it’s challenges and even after 30 years of marriage I have discovered things about my wife’s personality as I’m sure she has discovered some things about me that we never knew or appreciated.
I knew for example that she was largely a rule follower no matter how absurd of inconsistent those rules are whereas I will follow rules up to a point but once I see the absurdity of them I will usually tend to ignore them or indulge in malicious compliance of them.
Today’s news reminds me of that old Private Eye cover.
H.M.Queen (reading speech):”..and I hope you realise I didn’t write this crap.”
What’s next for Snowdon then?
After supporting lockdowns that are so ruinous we’d have been less damaged by the luftwaffe returning and having a free pass carpet bombing the country he can’t very well go back to objecting to harmful government interventions, can he? Is he lining himself up for some kind of change in career or have some new master in mind in the near future? Maybe he’s going to end up at the WEF.
They can smell repercussion
The weasel words will begin in earnest
I’ve just watched the debate between Christopher Snowdon and Toby and CS still saying lockdown is the only way to save lives by stopping human contact. Anyway here’s one to ask all lockdown supporters “do lockdown stop working after an initial fall” the reason I am asking this is because even though where in lockdown here in York it’s begun rising. On Monday it was 68 per 100thousand and now it is 77 per 100thousand as lockdown stopped working or is this a temporary blip. I have my own theories why this could be happening but was wondering is this happening anywhere else as MSM keep telling us infections and deaths are declining but we must hold on to get the numbers further down.
If you match to Google mobility data,.nothing has changed since December 29th. Despite it being lower than summer, its high enough and the virus receding anyway
The virus is just doing what it does
Have you got a concentration of cases in, perhaps, a prison ? It skewed the results upward in my city for a few days.
There is a similar “blip” for my district council as well; “cases” jumped from under 10 to 20 for a couple of days last week. I suspect that some “group setting” or other got tested. But that has to be taken in the context of a district of circa 80k people.
I have to keep reminding people who question my non-mask wearing that the chances of catching it in this area are practically zero.
On itv news tonight it was claimed infections was increasing in 1 in 5 places so is this evidence that lockdown only works for so long?
Here in York infections continued to increase for ten days after lockdown and when it peaked it was the highest in Yorkshire. Now it’s one of the lowest in Yorkshire but rising for no obvious reason. Does this mean the higher infections go the lower the infection rate ends up being?
I’ve noticed this occur in many other places all over Britain and are beginning to think when we allow infections to rise and fall herd immunity kicks in. Unfortunately lockdown interferes with this process which was first observed by William Farr a friend of Florence Nightingale in 1840. If what I am observing is correct then lockdown as a limited affect only prolonging the pandemic not ending it. But surely if lockdown worked why is China the only country where it’s worked ?
I think the whole area of testing is such a shambles that those kinds of changes are just noise
Unless you believe in asymptomatic transmission, for which there is very little evidence, then the only thing that is going to make much difference in the community is people staying at home when they are sick, which in general people are probably doing. Beyond that, most of the infections are likely to be in hospitals and care homes where isolation of ill people is much harder
Quite simply, the number of people tested has probably been increased. Even this Govt guidance clearly states that the figures quoted per 100k do not factor in the number of tests carried out. This is criminal misrepresentation of data.
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map
The sentence under this interactive map specifically states that the reference number per 100k is calculated by dividing the number of ‘cases’ into the population and multiplying by 100,000. There is no mention of the number of tests carried out.

More from Tom Woods-California has had a tight lockdown while Nevada opened big hotels and casinos. Spot the difference?
What did Arizona do ?
I dont know, but with that many cases I am guessing an outdoor mask mandate was necessary to drive the number of cases that high.
In the middle I think. The US states show that whatever you do the result ends up pretty much the same.
Our glorious majesty has clearly been quietly asked if she could “help increase the uptake of the vaccination, ma’am”. Obviously it’s not receiving the riotous national acclaim that was expected.
The numbskulls think that people might not be turning up because of fear that the jab will hurt, not because it’s essentially untested (and proving to have serious side effects even at this early stage).

Since 1963 (57 years) there’s been 215 deaths associated with flu vaccine. But since December 2020 (just over 2.5 months), there have been 406 deaths from the covid-19 vaccine?

Although there is the predictable official dispute about deaths attributable to experimental gene therapy mass trials on the gullible (not so with fake C19 deaths, though),this link backs up your very valid point:
https://coronaversation.wordpress.com/2021/02/19/approximately-5-uk-deaths-per-day-shortly-after-covid-vaccine-according-to-mhra-reports/
Thank you!
There is lot more than 406 dead from the rona experimental drug. 300 in the UK alone – and this is only what is reported. Me thinks that quite a few of the Rona dead count are from the drug. Flu vaxx’s in the past 60 years have killed thousands, not hundreds.
UK care home and hospice deaths ‘with Covid’:
Just a coincidence and nothing to do with the vaccine, of course, although the side-effects quoted by several pro-vaxxers would be enough to knock a frail elderly nursing home resident off her perch.
Et tu, regina?

Could the answer be much simpler . Buckingham Palace needs renovation, I daresay the other estates need it also and increasing the allowance to the Royal Family at a time when so many are experiencing financial hardship would be difficult .
Enter Bill Gates – he has oodles of money , pays the BBC and all the struggling newspapers to support his vaccination , ID and climate change fantasies, so the Queen gets her pad redecorated and Gates gets a massive endorsement. Win – win , except for us of course who lose our dignity and freedom, our mental and bodily health , possibly our lives , and of course all the respect for our monarch built up over 70 years .
looks like another Anus Horriblus to me
And as for “Vaccine Passports,” I think we just have to wait for that idea to go the way of the SARS 1 vaccine, ID cards and Track and Trace. And accept that, no matter who you vote for, eventually they are going to say “ooh we’ve got a spare £10 Billion here, let’s fritter it away on some crappy doomed surveillance programme,” while the long suffering public just shake their heads in disbelief.
Morning.
I find the phrase “on non-medical grounds” regarding refusing a vaccine particularly odd. I don’t want to submit myself to an experimental treatment that may very well harm my health. I don’t want to be injected with something about which there is no knowledge of long-term side effects. I don’t want to gamble with my health for spurious benefits. How on earth are these concerns “non-medical”?!
You don’t have to justify your right to decline their poison.
True, they will then use that to justify keeping you from entering the pub, stadium, sainsbury or traveling. All of it illegal etc. but since when do laws matter?
Law doesn’t come into it, just say NO, they will do what they were going to do anyway.

Scientists: Vaccination Before Every Vacation May Be Needed
Do these scientists realise how much MPs and councillors dream up reasons for foreign travel at tax payer’s expense for “fact finding missions” (like there’s no internet ) . Not going to be popular in Westminster and in town halls everywhere.
But then I realised that there are none so cunning as an Oxford don – by imposing what appear to be justifiable but totally unacceptable restrictions on the law makers themselves , it brings the whole silly nonsense to a more rapid conclusion.
What is this obsession with foreign travel being so dangerous? I mean unless you are travelling from or to some place where diseases to which you have resistance are rife, what bloody difference does it make?
And when they get jab-sick they won’t be able to board the plane
Bring it on – I want to see these nitwits suffer
I’m strangely reassured by that: it means that one’s scepticism about vaccines feels 100% justified when scientists really take off into la-la land. These are supposedly intelligent academics but they are actually lost to the real world.
How about this for a gene therapy marketing campaign, instead of roping in Mrs Queen?
‘Feeling bored of life? Maybe you are symptomless, healthy, furloughed and lonely? Perhaps missing the visceral thrill of the casino or hang-gliding or the bookies or even Russian roulette? Well go get a vaccine, it’s better than the lottery, now with 5 guaranteed corks popped every day!! Gene therapy, the existential lottery for those sick of life…’
If in doubt…
https://coronaversation.wordpress.com/2021/02/19/approximately-5-uk-deaths-per-day-shortly-after-covid-vaccine-according-to-mhra-reports/
3 Nuns just died in Kentucky. 50 or so Nuns got the jab. Days after 26 reported positive for the Covid. 3 died shortly after.
Covidiots and Fake News can’t make the connection between the jab and deaths, cannot explain how post Jab someone can get the Rona, nor can they explain the incredibly high injury percentage in this group (most of the 26 who tested positive were ill).
What a frigging joke.
This may well have been shared before, but the BMJ is currently running a poll asking the question “Should spreading anti-vaccine misinformation be criminalised?” (The poll is on the bottom right hand side if you’re on a computer).
https://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/resources-readers#resourcesforreaders
Looks a better result than the fake You Gov ones…
They should run a parallel poll asking
“Should spreading vaccine misinformation be criminalised?”
and then compare the reponses . A trial with a control., they should be comfortable with that idea.
!
A glimmer of sanity – when the poll was first launched, the yes count was ahead, but I know the link has been circulated far and wide among people who question the official narrative. We have mobilised well
That begs the question in the correct sense of that often misused phrase. Namely, the statement of the question implicitly assumes the desired answer.
Thank you for being one of the few that are aware of that, Edward. Misuse of that phrase drives me daft!
It’s one of many but it makes me growl too.
77% can see through the question’s bias and say no – i guess most readers of the BMJ are medical/scientist types – the silent majority of medical/scientist types having their say in a safe environment
Thanks – done – and it’s open to the public not just BMJ subscribers.
This is an interesting proposition.
Remember that Lancet paper on HCQ causes heart arrhythmias?
Turned out that paper was fraud and had to be retracted.
Now that paper caused many people to die because we know that HCQ reduces the death rate from Covid.
So the BMJ are saying that those who published this paper, plus those at the Lancet who colluded with this fraud plus the journalists who publicised the fraud should go to jail. It seems to me that their proposition is hard to argue with.
On the other hand, the ordinary bloke who is trying to make sense of the world says or posts something, well he posts what he believes to be true. Sometimes he is wrong. Should that be a crime? I doubt it.
So the nub of the issue is how do you distinguish between the two? One was an organised piece of misinformation deliberately placed to bring about death. The other a well meaning comment which was trying to make the world a better place.
The problem with this is it is like Stalin’s election when it comes to judgement. The merits of the case dont matter, it is who judges the case that counts.
I was reading the item in ‘Round-Up’ : “The Ferguson Correspondence” – Hugh Willbourn, and noted the following concluding remarks:
“Either way, it is time to move on. That requires humility. It requires scientists to step far from their comfort zone. It requires politicians who imagine they know what they are talking about to learn again to listen. It requires sceptics to practise empathy. There is no simple protocol to follow. It requires all of us to continue to be willing to help when it is far, far easier to dismiss and condemn.”
Which is fine. In theory.
But, as a rationalist (I’m turning against the term ‘sceptic’ as too negative – scepticism is but a part), I have practised empathy (and continue to do so) regarding the atrocious brainwashing that the population has suffered. I have refused simple dismissive stuff such as the label ‘stupid’ or the idea that there are masses of people enjoying a holiday on furlough – even if the outcome we can all see is, indeed about as ‘stupid’ as it gets.
But my patience and empathy aren’t limitless. After all, like most on this side of the fence – more sinned against than sinning – my only sin has been a year-long consistency based on established epidemic management plans, a regard for the evidence and truth, and an adherence to well-established notions of morality and democracy and the functioning of a healthy society.
Against this are ranged the big battalions of twisted corruption and ignorance at the highest levels of power and influence. Every day brings a new purposeful assault on norms of decency and morality.
Whilst I understand unknowing victimhood, I don’t feel inclined to empathy towards the nexus of evil that has brought back to life the norms expounded by Goebbels and Mengele.
Excellent post.
I think someone needs to hang to purge this. Hancock in jail, maybe Witty. Who authorised the dumping into Care Homes, who has told police not to investigate the recent vaccine deaths?
Yeah, far from ‘time to move on’. We haven’t even started yet.
They even attempted to blame it on the likes of me ie Agency Nurses I’m still waiting for the Pandemic?….Hello!! Are you there?I’m I safe?
In a word lying Cu ts complicit Drs and fat tik tockers the role call is endless.
Spot on RickH
I am right with you on this. This is the Churchillian moment, if there ever was one. Coercion, propaganda, deliberate misrepresentation of the facts: these cannot be countered with empathy. The appropriate response of a healthy individual is anger.
Excellent summary. Thank You.
Mother nature strikes again Scientists Discover ‘All-Natural’ COVID Treatment That Can Prevent ‘Cytokine Storm’ In Severe Patients
Most patients won’t need it if they have access to HCQ and IVM treatments.
It was my daughter’s 18th yesterday and on her request I reactivated Facebook to wish her a happy birthday on it. Bloody hell, the level of groupthink on there. Vack. Scene. Be good, obey the rules, don’t blow it, jab me please. Hideous. Could feel the tattered remnants of my sanity slipping away even knowing my profile was on there. Safely deactivated now.
Daughter had a good day though, went to see my Mum and Dad and a couple of her friends came round, lots of hugs.
Glad she had a nice birthday, Jo.
Thank you my dear

Very true.
Maybe do Telegram to keep in touch with her
She lives with me, it’s just been a little family thing of ours for years that I put up old and new pictures of her on her birthday, so I just did it for that one day. It really is an awful swamp.
I meant to wish her a Happy Birthday yesterday – sorry for the delay!
I’ve never done Facebook, and never will.
No worries, I took a day off from here anyway
I believe some 80% of the covid/vax related noise on Facebook is SS (77th) Brigade, and you are paying for it. (Son fights there.)
So the mRNA experimental drug is a failure. 95% of +70s injected, 13 K dead in Feb, hundreds dead right after, thousands injured. A failure. No other word, just a fucking failure. 11 k dead Feb 2020 from the ‘normal flu’. Don’t see a fucking difference do I?
Now the idiots say the sheep will need 2 injections per year. They will then update your Experimental-drug ID papers. This will be very expensive one assumes.
And of course the fake data will continue to pour out. Flu has now gone, renamed CV 19, itself to be renamed yearly to reflect ‘variants’.
And most idiots accept this. Pathetic.
Surely SARS CoV2 is itself a variant – isn’t it all in the name (the one after variant 1)?
Since this all began I’ve seen various estimates of the number of variants, from as low as 4000 to as many as 20,000. We are supposed to believe that there are mutants which are especially dangerous, but what is the difference between a variant and a mutant? Is there a vast army of technicians somewhere analysing thousands of virus samples to identify their individual characteristics? Do they classify one as a variant and another as a mutant? And how are these characteristics tested following the scientific method – experiment and peer review? Unless they are each tested on given number patients in proper trials how would anyone know how one variant differs from another?
If there are 4000 of these bugs they obviously didn’t all turn up at once. There must have been dozens if not hundreds in existence before anyone even knew there was an epidemic under way, all busily mutating away. Doesn’t that mean that fretting about variants or mutants is a pointless exercise? Viruses mutate, becoming less deadly even if they become easier to catch.
Watch as random variant (or mutant if you prefer) is selected to become SARS CoV3 – and around and around we will go.

Lockdown’s have killed 45.000.
CV 19 over 2 flu seasons supposedly 120.000.
Normal flu is down 50% in numbers or 70.000 over 2 flu seasons…..
Heart disease is also down in dead over 2 seasons by 30% or so…..
Most of the Rona dead are from flu-heart categories + maybe 30.000 who might have died due to CV 19 (not with it). CV 19 is a flu, it is part of the flu family, it is transmitted exactly like a normal flu, there is no difference.
Why would a country need a mandatory experimental drug injection based on real world facts, science and common sense, when 60 years of flu vaxx failure has already given you the answer?

The “selfish” debate is back in force, thanks to the Queen.
Never quite understood how people who are so crippled by fear of an infection that they demand healthy people are locked in their homes, banned from loved ones, from school, lose their jobs, etc etc etc, just so they can feel safer, then call us the selfish ones.
I am so unselfish that I will allow some covid bedwetter to move up the queue to be jabbed by an experimental gene therapy so they can bask in their own virtue.
Yes – that anomaly has always struck me :
“Ruin your life because, as a brainwashed hypochondriac, I need reassurance’.
How selfless!
I call people like that CUNTS !!!
I’ve always paid great attention to lectures about selfishness from an uber-rich self appointed head of state.
Following today’s announcement, I think we can finally put to rest the rumour that Biker is really the Queen.

Will Maj be on the podium with him? She might as well be now that she’s a fully signed up member of the cult.
That wasn’t maj. last time she was seen in public she was roaming maskless.
My mother was born in the same year as the queen (my mom died aged 92). I didn’t take any scientific advice of her, she left school at 14 and believed any old rubbish the tv told her. On the other hand I was the first in my family to go to university, study a technological subject and work in scientific research for a number of years and I still don’t take advice off old ladies.
Government ‘1 in 3 have no symptoms and are spreading it’

They’ve been saying that for weeks, that means we must be close to 100% heard immunity now. If every 33% of the population has it for 2 weeks. Then 6 weeks max for 100%. That’s excluding the millions who already had it last year.
Draft letter
Letter to schools regarding coronavirus protocolshttps://miriaf.co.uk/letter-to-schools-regarding-coronavirus-protocols/
Love this section:
I realise it’s been discussed quite a bit this morning but I have to say, Yer Maj…wtf?? And what in the name of Covid was she doing having a ‘chat’ with health leaders anyway? Did she look at her diary and think ‘Hmmm, one doesn’t have much going on at the moment, perhaps one should speak to those awfully nice people in the NHS’? Or, by any chance, did some bright spark in the Behavioural Insights Team think it would be a good idea to rope old Queenie in for a bit of free PR in praise of the holy sacrament known as the vaccine? Worst of all, she’s stirring that old ‘us-against-them’ hornets nest. She of all people should not be encouraging this kind of divisiveness. And another thing… (rant nearly over) I wish people would stop telling me how to live my life. Stay indoors, don’t see or hug your family, don’t sit on park benches, don’t travel outside your town, wear a mask, stay six feet away from other people, get tested, have the vaccine, don’t bother the NHS, don’t go on holiday, don’t ask awkward questions, don’t breathe. Bah humbug.
I wonder if there is a petition for the covidians demanding vacc passports…I don’t want to look, i bet there is and I bet its got millions of sigs.
International vaccine passports will be slipped in under the radar as the great British public heave a sigh of relief domestic ones are ditched for now. Give people a chance to become fully compliant with the first, it will then in time become easier to introduce the latter.
I live in France, and my daughter in England has recently had a baby.
Given that I will NEVER, EVER take one of these vaccines (and neither will my daughter), I face the very real prospect of not seeing my daughter again, or of meeting my grandchild.
I think you will Jody, passports may be what “they” want to do but it neither will be implemented no matter how hard they push. I think maybe a negative test may be required for a while.
I hope you’re right. I’ve already devised some madcap plans, such as getting hold of a Cornish fisherman and stowing away in his boat on a fishing trip and docking back in the UK, pretending to be one of his workers.
Have you tried the ferries, Jody ? Buying property, caring for a vulnerable person, work, etc.
I’ve just been looking on the government website. The problem is, whichever way you do things, there’s a load of testing and quarantining involved. It’s a nightmare…
The uptake of the jab in France is very low, so tryng to introduce a vaccine passport there will be very difficult.
That’s true, Andrew, but the government is biding its time here, rolling-out very slowly and gradually introducing the idea of passports; and it’s working… a recent poll put acceptance of passports at up to 60%, when it would have been nothing like that a couple of months ago.
Should call them by what they are Segregation Passports, it would have more impact
… or ‘Yellow Star Passports’
Yup
We are in an optics war and memetics work
As my very wise wife said – those who are ‘hesitant’ to take the jab are unlikely to be persuaded by Liz’s reassurances, in fact it will probably make them more so. Muppets.

The ONS total death figures for January are out. 73,000 (England and Wales). No doubt this will be hyped to the stars and back, without anyone pointing out that it’s around 9,000 more than January 2018. Add in the continued failure of the NHS, the despair and neglect of the lonely, the disabled and the old and all the other factors we’re all aware of and the figure isn’t very startling at all. The Black Death it ain’t.
One month’s figures tell you very little. April 2020 undoubtedly had a very high number of deaths when looked at in isolation. By the end of the year, there was nothing exceptional about overall mortality. But the cliff-edge
January 2021 certainly showed higher deaths than might be expected – now declining. The odd thing is the shape of the curve over what is always a period of holiday disruption – but this year the cliff-face shape at the beginning of the year is hard to believe, even allowing for the usual lags.
Any ideas?
The sudden emptying of hospitals under government and PHE diktat caused, per the ONS figures, 25k deaths. From this many died at home or care homes. In addition there was an increase in deaths as 111 were using the mantra, unless your lips are blue you do not need to go to hospital. Finally people believed the government bull that the NHS was busy and overwhelmed so did not go to A&E when needed. Add all of these together and I am sure there will be a tad of an increase in deaths.
Sorry Rick I’m not quite following you on the specifics here. I’m only looking at the total figure for January and don’t have a graph illustrating a curve in front of me. Yes I agree April had a massive spike, a doubling of the normal death rate, and then things were pretty unremarkable for the rest of the year until December.
My general view is that Covid is now endemic and seasonal, it’s an addition to the usual panoply of harvesting illnesses and it was always bound to contribute to extra deaths in January. Does that answer your question or have I misunderstood in some way?
Not forgetting 600k people die per year or 50k per month (on average) and it’s winter, so no it’s not the Black Death.
Don’t forget to add those who were murdered by lethal injection.
Irish Lockdown against human rights. What they describe here is authoritarianism.
“While the report considers the public health threat is sufficient to provide a justification for some restrictions, it finds that in the period examined:
Parliamentary oversight of Ireland’s emergency legislation has been lacking.
Shifting relations between NPHET and Government makes it difficult to ascertain where, if at all, human rights and equality concerns are being addressed.
There has been limited or no consultation with those groups most likely to be affected in respect of the public health framework.
The Government’s making and presentation of regulations raises serious rule of law concerns.
Among the report’s findings are that “It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the delegation of legislative power to the Minister for Health has resulted in a black hole for the consideration of human rights and equality concerns.””

Covid now appears to be a smokescreen for other stuff, ie ID and whatever else they’re up to, so everything else seems moot imo, as Blair and Schwab said, ‘The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reset our world”
Too narrow perchance ?

The problem of cov2 spread is not asymptomatic spread, unless you have extreme close contact like sex or a very intimate long conversation i guess but pre-symptomatic spread is a problem and the two you can’t distinguish easily.
Viral load and infectiveness steadily inclines about 2 days prior to symptom onset peaks at a couple of days and again steadily declines. That about 2 day period before symptoms start you are totally fine but your viral load is enough to infect specially a day before. Infection ratio of 1-2 day before symptom onset was about %30. This is the reason why totally health looking people can infect you not because they are asymptomatic but because they are pre-symptomatic.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-1046-6
“A mass screening programme of more than 10 million residents of Wuhan, China, performed after SARS-CoV-2 was brought under control, has identified 300 asymptomatic cases of covid-19, none of which was infectious.”
https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4695
‘pre-symptomatic’ is a subset of ‘symptomatic’
Yes yes it is but you can’t distinguish between a pre-symptomatic and an asymptomatic before symptom onset. Any health looking person can develop symptoms in 48 hours and they are spreading the virus not as vigorously as after symptom onset but they are…how do you propose to distinguish them?
Why is it necessary to identify them? If they start to show symptoms, treat them with HCQ/IVM.
Surely an asymptomatic case is by definition an impossibility.
Well the problem is not them. The problem is healthy looking preaymptomatics who are going to get symptom onset in 48 36 hours where they have vial loads high enough to infect. Flu can spread very much like this about a day before symptom on set. So cov2 a flu like illness as we always parrot can surely spread like that. Or when we don’t like a fact about cov2 it suddenly becomes not a flu like illness but a novel one…
I have wondered if the model we have of how viruses spread are just all wrong?
I think as an analogy, and island say in the Pacific, destroyed by a tsunami or a volcano, so that there is nothing left, just ash, nothing growing at all.
Go back after a few years and you will find a green island. How do all of the seeds get there? They must blow there on the wind or be dropped by seagulls and their ilk. Life finds a way.
If seeds can travel hundreds of miles in the air, just how far can a virus go?
I cant say I know for sure if viruses can literally blow for thousands of miles, but based on the ineffectiveness of lockdowns and social distancing, I now severely doubt the model which suggests viruses can travel only 2 meters.
Keep quiet about that idea. Otherwise ‘they’ll’ mandate mask wearing outside.
It was just me cogitating over what we have seen.
Isnt it true that cases of Covid have risen everywhere with a mask mandate? I havent seen any evidence at all that suggests masks can help unless you want to get more CO2 into your bloodstream.
Masks are only good for catching droplets maybe in use in closed small environments like bus etc. But other than that they are useless
Oh dear, another computer modelling outcome being presented as though its result is fact. The outcomes of computer models are nothing more than the mathematically inevitable results of the starting assumptions.
This leads to a conundrum for maskers though. Let’s look at this in formal logic.
We have a proposition: Presymptomaic patients are spreading the virus.
Therefore the virus is spread not in large droplets such as coughing or sneezing, but in tiny particles in the air as we breath out.
Masks are not designed to stop this sort of transmission: they are considered to be effective mostly against large particles such as coughing or sneezing produce
Therefore masking is next to useless.
Good point
Please don’t let logic get in the way of a good story.
Actually you are right, so what we have been doing is probably futile or little effect as best
Why do you link this article now? It was first written in April last year, with an update in August 2020.
Yes, the facts are unlikely to have changed, but I am still wondering why highlight this now?
Why no we are all talking about asptomatic spread which is bullshit I know but presymtomatic spread especially in care home settings is very dangerous and must be discussed under the preterm of vaccine inefficiency if they seem to work then no problem
Actually you are right, so what we have been doing is probably futile or little effect as best
CCP Propaganda.
Muxx
There was a CDC review mentioned somewhere where they concluded that the household secondary attack rate from both symptomatic and pre-symptomatic patients was 0.7%, compared to 18% from symptomatic patients. So pre-symptomatic spread doesn’t have any significant impact either, and note this is in the household setting. Outside, people don’t usually get close to each other for extended periods of time, so the pre-symptomatic transmission rate in that case is probably completely irrelevant.
Well flu very much spreads presymtomaticly, cov2 is a flu like illness and the paper mentions %30ish so not irreverent at all.So cov2 a flu like illness as we always parrot can surely spread like that. Or when we don’t like a fact about cov2 it suddenly becomes not a flu like illness but a novel one.
That 30% seems to be from a single study at the height of the hysteria and propaganda. Many of those results are also from ‘modeling’, where they choose the desired outcome and then change the parameters until they achieve it.
“However, looking at the graph (above) the curves actually shoot up at that point and don’t begin to drop until four weeks later.”
Yes the curve does shoot up doesnt it. Difficult to explain that sudden rise unless it is people dying from the vaccine.
See my earlier posting. But even if there was some connection, the shape is so odd.
A year of looking at ONS all-cause mortality data has always shown a reliable internal consistency. This is distinctly odd.
I am searching for you post but I have only found your reply to my comment. Any clues where it might be?
It’s down below – in answer to Joe Starlin. It provides nothing more than the same question mark about the oddity of the curve at the beginning of January.
Found it. You did not commit to an answer for the rise in deaths I see.
Frustrating, but it’s just another drone brainwashed by the media.
A direct result of the relentless barrage of propaganda. It’s horrible and I don’t know if and how these people are deprogrammed.
Meanwhile, in another world:
Him: “Why isn’t anyone in here wearing a mask? Don’t you know people are dying?”
Sat at a nearby table are Bruce Reynolds and Mr. Biker: “Could we have a word, please?” …..
Some thoughts on today’s lockdown sceptics.
Well it looks from the evidence presented here that the virus is going. We have two important bits of evidence.
Firstly the triage calls to 111. They are falling away to nothing. Secondly the number of positive tests using lateral flow are at a level indicating zero covid.
That is odd given that most of the country hasnt been vaccinated yet. It is odd to think that other countries which have vaccinated less than us are also seeing rapid declines in the number of covid cases.
So what could be causing this rapid decline?
Could it be that herd immunity would have just kicked in anyway?
Is it the seasonal change? I find this latter explanation a bit tricky to agree with given that the peak last year was in Feb – April time period, pretty much where we are now. Occams razor suggest then that the fall in cases may well be due to herd immunity, with some augmentation from the vaccine.
We were never at a point where lockdown was ever justified. But even in the minds of the most zealous of lockdown zealots, it must be clear that lockdown is now killing more people than it is saving. There is no excuse left for this misery to continue.
Sars-Cov2 is a strong cold and I’m pretty sure the other corona colds 86’d the fat and the elderly ever year
It was never an issue until it was made one
“Could it be that herd immunity would have just kicked in anyway?
Highly likely – with the addendum that the January rise in deaths may be a result of lockdown simply delaying infections for a significant part of the vulnerable population – i.e practical population immunity could have been effected earlier.
Is it the seasonal change?
The only problem is that the recent notable temperature rise has come too late to be related.
Another reason for the rise in deaths in January is what I call the post-christmas effect.
Many elderly will have felt the isolation and despair much more this year and lost the will to live.
The difference in the UK between Feb-Apr last year and Feb-Apr this year, is that this year tens of thousands of people are not being evicted from hospitals under conditions of severe psycholgical stress and sudden social isolation.
Each winter sees a number of viral agents causing respiratory diseases in the mid-latitudes, due in the main to changes in temperature and particularly humidity.
Herd immunity may play some role, but there are a number of such viruses and they are continuously evolving.
Coronaviruses have a strong pattern of seasonalty known for decades.
In their minds the harms, including deaths, caused by the lockdowns etc are the indirect consequence of the ‘pandemic’.
More friends (aged 40 something) submitting to the jab. Some comments from the discussion:
Note they they don’t realise that AZ and Oxford are the same thing…
Then an update 12 hours after jab from OP:
I think I’d rather get ill.
My daughter works at an establishment where this jab was given. Several of the people who worked there had reactions. One so bad that they vowed not to have the second jab under any circumstances.
Am I right to think that the AZ jab is banned for the over 65s? I wonder why they would do that to something which can save lives?
Only banned in most european countries.
Thanks Merlin et al. I stand corrected!
inc. Sweden – the irony of AstraZeneca being banned for use in several age groups despite being part Swedish, is still completely lost on some people, I’ve noticed!
Not banned for the over 65s down here on the south coast. I know three people in that age group who have had it. Mercifully, no bad side effects noted yet.
No, that’s not true; not in the UK, anyway. Some EU countries have not recommended it for use.
For example, Germany has not recommended it for over 65s; Merkel has used this as the reason she has declined it.
Edit: looks like we all posted at the same time, folks.
My OH had the AZ jab two days ago – and is just returning to normal – but still pretty tired after one night and a day of feeling pretty rough.
An amazingly high number of those having the jab have reported the same symptoms – far more and more extreme than I’ve ever come across for the ‘flu vaccines.
The reactions may signify nothing critical in the extreme reaction of the immune system. But we don’t know – by definition. What we do know is that a severe reaction is common, and it is exceedingly unpleasant. My guess is that there have been relatively few 999 calls only because word has got around that you can expect to be ill.
My intention not to touch the undertested snake oil with a bargepole has only been strengthened by the experiences that I have heard at first hand.
The FDA has refused to license it as has India and a few other countries.
Tell them the real side effects will come after the second dose. If they get over them then they have ADE to look forward to as well as prion disease and god knows what else.
If this risk of ADE is very real for some, the fact of the matter is that those with poor immunity who are now jabbed are really not safe to go out and be in contact with others- EVER again during their lifetime. They have just allowed themselves to be injected with something that now means they will be at risk ( and sorry to be blunt but possibly resulting in death) even if in contact with a simple cold some of which I think are coronaviruses. It is criminal and inhumane that they weren’t warned fully and able to give informed consent to this.
I find it astonishing that people actually say crap like this.
Not talking about you, leggy; I mean in general. I cannot imagine anyone I know using such a phrase.
They are truly lost and nothing can save them
Wedded to the state
Bonkers isn’t it. I’ve given up trying to point out that if the govt state that the jab does not prevent you from catching or transmitting any virus then it’s not doing much to keep anyone else safe.
It is bonkers. They’re obviously picking up these phrases from the likes of Handjob, Zahawi, Arsebook, and the MSM. Oh, and the NHS adverts, of course.
They all think after a few days feeling ill they now have an iron suit around them forever.
I dread what effects it will have long term, and it makes me wonder why these people do not think long term! But then they succumbed to propaganda.
From a friend I’m hearing lots of stories of flu like symptoms and shivering and having to go to retreat to bed after the AZ vaccine. Pfizer vaccine less short term affects, but sore arm in most people jabbed. Long term damage – yet unknown.
I’ve had no side affects at all to my NIwVD vaccine so far.
i went round to a mates for a few drinks on Monday night – he said one of his palls had the jab and was in bed for a week afterwards with dreadful flu like symptoms – and my mate was having the jab the following day – how the fcuk does that work? You cant fix stupid! Anyway he survived, for now….
Are we talking about the AZ/Oxford one here? I mentioned yesterday the anecdotal tale of a neighbour’s friend having the AZ one and suffering “extreme side effects” 12 hours later.
“that’s a small price to pay to keep others and myself safe”
It’s killing people! https://healthimpactnews.com/2021/45-year-old-italian-doctor-in-the-prime-of-life-and-in-perfect-health-drops-dead-after-the-pfizer-mrna-covid-shot-39-year-old-nurse-42-year-old-surgical-technician-also-dead/
How ignorant the masses are, there was a tweet last night saying what are the anti-vaxxers worried about, not as if people are dropping dead from the vaccine, if only they knew!! Although that celebratory Polish doctor who went live online taking the jab whilst mocking the anti-vaxxers, joking he will become a 5G antenna…dead
I didn’t see that Polish doctor story, do you have a source please?
Polish Dr. Witold Rogiewicz took the NWO VAXX making fun of vaccine refusers … He’s dead now!
Thanks!
Has Tiffany Dover been confirmed as still alive?
(by a reputable non legacy media source?)
The fact that all the so called fact checkers are denying she’s dead must surely mean the opposite.
My 82 year old Granny had the Oxford jab in early January and thankfully, so far, had no side effects. She gets her 2nd dose in April and I can’t help but worry for her after that.
Despite the cocked up trial and fudged trial results the PR campaign around the oxford/AZ stab has been impressive. Most people seem to think that the oxford stab is closer to a traditional vaccine.

And when the stars won’t shine then the story’s told, yeah
When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew
That the chains were on
That the chains were on
My, my, my, in the land of no tomorrow
Where you pray just to end each day
And your life just slowly melts away
Each day you hear the sand as it moves and whispers
Come and sail on my golden sea
Maybe one day you’ll be just like me, and that’s free
But still your chains are on
Yes, your chains are on
Still your chains are on
You’ve seen them walking on the water
You’ve seen flying through the sky
They were frightening in the darkness
They had rainbows in their eyes

And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew
That the chains were on
That the chains were on
That the chains were on
That the chains were on
Oh my the chains were on
In the land of the lost horizon
Where the chains are on
In the land of milk and honey
Still the chains are on
Where the queen lies dark and lonely
Still the chains are on
And the world was new and magic
But the chains are on
Hey, the chains are on
Oh the chains are on
Yeah, the chains are on

I have had a good response from my son’s school in relation to testing. I wrote…..
Dear Mr XXXXX,
Good morning. I am writing in relation to the testing programme as part of the return of pupils to face to face tuition. I want to understand what the school’s position is in relation to being tested or not and the reasons behind those rules, bearing in mind the legality of any such decision.
You state in your letter dated 25th February 2021 that, ‘before students start face to face teaching, they must have completed their first test (Test 1)’. This is not the government’s position. You later state that, ‘testing of course remains completely voluntary, although strongly encouraged.’ It hasn’t been made clear what will happen if pupils do not have the tests, but I should point out what is says on the relevant government website and here is the link ….
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/what-parents-and-carers-need-to-know-about-early-years-providers-schools-and-colleges-during-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak/what-parents-need-to-know-about-early-years-providers-schools-and-colleges-during-covid-19
It says, ‘From 8 March, all children and students should return to school and college. All primary pupils should attend school from this date. All secondary pupils and college students will be offered testing from 8 March, and those who consent to testing should return to face-to-face education following their first negative test result. If you or your child (if they are aged over 18) do not consent, they will not be stopped from going back and will return in line with their school or college’s arrangements.
It is therefore perfectly clear that the tests are voluntary and children are not to be excluded if they do not have the tests. All it is saying is that if you do have the tests, you need to have a negative result before returning. This is the government’s position and the legal position. What are the arrangements at the school for those who do not have the tests, bearing in mind what I have brought to your attention, i.e. you cannot exclude those who do not have the tests?
I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
He replied….
Dear XXXXX,
Many thanks for your email and let me reassure you immediately.
It would have been more helpful for me to have phrased the sentence in question – that all students should have been offered Test 1 before they return because as I mentioned later in the letter and as you quite rightly highlight, testing remains entirely voluntary. Those students who have parents who do not wish their children to be tested or who are themselves of an age where they can decide they do not wish to be tested, will be welcomed back into school just the same as those who are tested and are clear. There are clearly no consequences at all for those students not being tested.
I hope that reassures you but please do say if it does not.
Regards
XXXXXX
He also clarified a further question from me in relation to home testing…
‘To answer your question yes the same stance applies for Home Testing – it is still a voluntary procedure and children will still be able to come into school even if they have not had a test taken at home‘.
So that’s good.
Of course he worded it like he did at the beginning of the letter so that the parents think they HAVE to test their children.
Good for you to stand up to him.
I hope your son will have a pleasant school experience – as far as that is possible these days- and not feel under peer pressure.
Exactly. “Must have completed” and “should have been offered” are very different things. I got my son exempted from wearing a mask last term. It was making him unwell and lethargic.
Well Done for looking after the interests of your child.
A pity not all parents do that
Just spoke to a relative on a video call. Much made by them of vaccines saving the day, which is standard talk now. I remained steadfast that it wasn’t for me. But they did say they were getting fed up with news making everything negative. Even said pig dictator’s last message was skewed by news – they had watched both. Anyway I said it was an opportunity to challenge and investigate- did they know the virus was so intelligent it could tell whether you were sitting in business or economy on a plane? Anal swabs for the virus – really? Response was I didn’t know that – to which I said start challenging and questioning the news. More small steps but this is a person who does believe the BBC, that Royalty are marvellous etc etc.
Also heard a conspiracy theory debunker on talk sport last night with “can you believe 30% of people think COVID is a hoax?” – I was quite cheered by that… 30%. Also listening to someone who had been in Las Vegas last weekend who said all the ordinary people were saying “what’s going on, what happened to flu?”. Wakey wakey…maybe they are?
Uh, the way flu has been repackaged as Covid is a hoax.
Weasel words abound
the repackaging of every single viral symptom on the planet as Covid is the definition of hoax
Sars-Cov2 is a bog standard Coronavirus embellished with magical woo woo properties by the Covid cult
Dangerous for few – just like all the other Coronas
So out walking this morning and being lucky enough to live in a beautiful part of the world I thought I’d share this picture with you.
I see it as a visual allegory of the current political climate.
As winter turns to spring and sunlight burns throught the mist clouding your vision, a clearer view of the way ahead appears.
Although the fog of war still pervades, you can feel the energy of the sun starting to bring light to this half of the planet.
Small creatures and plants start to wake from a long slumber, they reach out toward the warmth and the light and they know what it feels to be alive.
They start to fill with the Spirit that pervades all living things.
The Spirit that THE SCIENCE cannot quantify, cannot model and cannot explain.
And for that reason it is the Spirit that makes THE SCIENCE afraid.
THE SCIENCE will try to understand the Spirit but it is far to immature to have even the first inkling of what the Spirit is.
THE SCIENCE fears the unknown and there is plenty THE SCIENCE does not know and it tries to hide it’s fear behind arrogance and hubris and projects it’s own fear onto others.
Some of you will succumb to THE SCIENCE and fear will cloud your judgement.
Others will feel the Spirit swell inside them and will have the strength to fight THE SCIENCE, for until it accepts that Science and Nature and the Spirit are one then fight it you must.
All this I know because I sense things Humans, after all these years on this planet, are unaware of.
I sense the Earth, I sense the Universe, I sense the Spirit.
Anyway, must go.
The man who thinks he owns me has walked off and I’ve got rabbits to chase.
Stay strong, you Humans have a tough couple of years ahead of you.
Freddy.
Call me selfish or whatever, but I would never take anything to protect other people, its a ridiculous concept, people’s brains have been trashed with all of this
I don’t think it’s ridiculous to do so, or consider it at least, but the idea that it’s selfish is
A good weekend planned. Later on mildly sceptical friend plus kids over for tea and a play. Lunch tomorrow with old neighbours (transpired after the event they were on the Oxford Street March as well). Sunday? probably round my Mums with the rest of the fam and cousins etc.
Next Saturday over to my brothers, barber doing home visits so the kids will go back into school looking sharp oh yes.
Excellent, love it! I am going to my best friends tomorrow where we will hug and laugh and have our kids all play together.
Yes. In lieu of general sanity, we can at least create our own by ignoring as far as possible everything that makes no sense coming out of establishment sources.
We’re just off for a meal with friends. Another friend has just left the house.
So – “F. Off Boris, Brenda, assorted pole-climbing arseholes and delusional hypochondriacs!!!”
This comment was inspired by the great meme posted at the end of the Lockdown Sceptics newsletter yesterday.
“He has free food, free shelter and free medical care.” (Picture of a caged lion.)
“He doesn’t.” (Picture of a lion standing proud in the savanna.)
Water seeks its own level: in the world of the future, some will prefer freedom and danger in the wild, ruthless, hard-scrabble world of get-to-the-top-and-keep-everyone-else-down social and bureaucratic class warfare.
These are the technocratic, managerial elite—the current stars of science, academia, politics and main-stream media.
The rest will prefer life in the zoo, nauseating their zookeepers with effusive thanks for every morsel of mangy upkeep that rains down on them from their masters in the administrative heavens.
Anyone with no stomach for either alternative—predation (“farming”) or obeisance—will just have to suck it.
You omitted the ‘start slitting throats’ option, Stephen.
After hoisting the black flag?
Mencken
From a tactical point of view, that part of the quote never made much sense to me.
Here lives a throat-slitter, like.
Our “masters” would merely use that as an excuse for extending their police powers, John. Look at the US-capitol protest fiasco. You might as well slit your own throat. (Mencken never did make a lot of sense.) Anyway, there might still be hope. But remember Mithridates: “He died old.”
Which would likely increase the throat slitting ‘exponentially’.
False flag.
Hope you don’t think this makes a lot of sense ?
Youngster – already outlived him.
That’s interesting. My latest letter from my mate ‘Matt’ suggests I stay home until 31st of March. I wonder if I’ve another letter coming in the post.
Should add I’m ignoring ‘Matt’s’ advice and working as normal.
Ditto, thankfully I don’t get the “Matt” letter, but my friend did. (I was illegally having tea at her house yesterday morning). It does say that the shielding regulations are guidance and not law.
That’s really coercive! I’m appalled.
The greatest song for Lockdown Sceptic is- Labi Siffri’s – Something Inside So Strong. – Google it and play it, the words are perfect for Lockdown Sceptic followers.
As usual, they haven’t checked a single fact, but think they know it all. Loud, confident, wrong.
‘Allen’ had a nice post up on Wednesday night comparing UK mortality stats for December 2020 versus December 2019.
Deaths from heart disease and dementia were down about 80% in December 2020 compared to the previous year.
A useful avenue of rhetorital attack and narrative deconstruction I think.
So not only has Covid cured influenza its stopped dementia and heart disease. I think that’s amazing.
The Queen – we are all selfish if not pricked – has clearly lost it and should make way for a saner monarch, like her eldest son. No, wait…
Apparently she believes that an individual is vaccinated to protect other people from the disease. Is she really that ignorant?
Obviously not reading Lockdown Sceptics
Yes, funny that, vaccination works like masks!
I’ve been saying this for a while. It nicely demonstrates how lazy the vast majority are when it comes to logical thought. They have just linked the two without any consideration at all. Morons – including her majesty.
she is only saying what her husbands captors have told her to say
You won’t get Philip back unless ……….??
You
won’tWILL get Philip back unless ……….??Fixed that for you.
They have probably just produced another video of Andrew.
I’ve just become a republican.
Not a word from the old trout as her subjects are locked up, bullied, muzzled, terrorised, and deprived of everything that makes life worth living. But when it comes to jabberwokery, suddenly she funds a voice – to back the oppressors.
Bog off, Hanoverian.
Uptick for jabberwokery.
I’m so disappointed in her. I mean, I’m not a royalist in any way, shape or form, but I’ve always seen her as being a dignified and sensible person. Why did she feel the need to weigh in like this – like some third rate celebrity trying to persuade people to Just Say No?
I know what you mean. I served her for 32 years and swore allegiance to her twice. She can fuck right off now as far as I’m concerned.
I’m afraid the Queen has fallen off her pedestal, I’m done with the monarchy now.
We have all heard that flu has disappeared. But that is not quite true. It has returned in Sub Sharan Africa and Eastern Asia. What do those two areas have in common? Low C-19 activity. It would be naïve to think that flu will not come back in the UK next winter perhaps with a vengeance.
https://twitter.com/Humble_Analysis/status/1365034468893810692
And yet, Captain Tom was in hospital with flu!
…..but, but …..I thought East Asians never got flu because they wear masks all the time ????
I am sure it said so on TV.
Perhaps we are witnessing an evolution in our ‘democracy’?
Like in Idiocracy where the secretary of defence had to add to everything he said with ‘…brought to you by Carls jr’?
In future we may see at the state events the BBC preface the sombre occasion in hushed tones ‘there is her Majesty the Queen … sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline’ or ‘there is her Majesty brought to yous by AstraZenica’.
It could catch on.
You should put a poster up saying, masks make you and me sick, and provide references to all the studies that show this.
Age not job prioritised in second phase of Covid jab roll-out: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56208674
Teachers and cops are ‘rather annoyed’.
Diddums!
Has a single cop died of the Rona? Serious question. I remember it being asked months ago and I don’t believe any had at that time.
Correct I recall someone did a FOIA a little while ago that said zero Met Police deaths from covid-19. OK that’s not a bang up to date stat but, ask the question another way: if a single officer had contracted covid-19, I believe we would have heard about it. and heard about it again.
It would have been turned into a martyrdom cult.
Considering how overweight many of the pigs are, it’s surprising that there aren’t a few at least.
On the other hand I can guarantee that a large number of them have been off for months with self-diagnosed long-covid.
Has ANYONE actually died of covid as opposed to with covid? Who knows!
I believe that around 3% of the 120,000 plus who have died within 28 days blah,blah,blah,etc,etc have actually died OF Covid as opposed to WITH Covid.
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE, IS THERE?
This 120,000 deaths nonsense is about 1 in 5 of all deaths per year yet total deaths this year as not increased by that amount. To believe 120,000 have died from covid you must believe it’s cured heart disease,strokes,dementia and other illnesses as all have declined. If you really believe this you could take it to it’s mad logical conclusion and say let’s let covid let rip and watch deaths from heart attacks disappear. This is what believing that covid has killed 120,000 implies nonsense but scary.
“ they don’t give a damn about us”.
Noone else does either!
What goes around comes around….
We’re all in this together, protect the vulnerable…
See how selfless all these zealots really are when it comes to the crunch?
Maybe someone in the government has said, what if teachers, police etc die, who will teach the children and police all our new “guidance”?
We could do with a cull of woke, lazy teachers so bring it on.
Just goes to show that this is not a real ‘pandemic’. I’ve always said that if this were a truly dangerous disease that affected all age groups equally, then the young/working age population would be first in line for the vaccine because they are responsible for keeping society running.
What a load of wets – they need to stop being so selfish and think of all the other people who want to be jabbed.
Dr. Seuss, anyone?
Love that!
Well sceptics don’t know how it is by you but round here the joint is jumping, just been to B&M four tills running and still lining up, more folks with muzzles of,car park almost full, the first real good day weather wise and look at it apart from the business side of things lockdown is over…
How strange that people should wait for a nice day to spend it in shops.
By the way, was that ”muzzles OFF”? I hope so! I didn’t see any non-muzzled yesterday, and even the car park was full of them.
Yes muzzle off mostly young folks.
Bet the coast will be packed this weekend and parks if the weather holds..
Everything is buzzing round here
The rapists dad must be fuming
49 year old health administrator in an Essex hospital did not want vaccine but felt obliged to have it. Her husband took her to the hospital and she returned afterwards to the car, he asked if she was ok and she said fine. Then she died, there in the passenger seat of the car, before he had started the engine.
As reported in the local newspaper.
No, that last sentence was a lie. The woman was known to a retired journalist, his friend’s sister. Retired journalist told this to my journalist friend at the beginning of this week. At least I will be able to follow up and discover whether there was a post-mortem and hopefully the findings.
I always have to think twice if I uptick a comment like yours.
What a shock for the husband and rest of the family.
Still they will deny it was an adverse reaction. So sad.
I have no words.
They are supposed to keep you under surveillance for 15 minutes after the jab. They don’t.
We have some great measurers and gaugers among us.
Can they tell me how many Rona bugs could dance on the head of a pin?
I make it 50 million. It would have to be pogoing or Riverdance though or the poor things would fall to their sadlideaths. Long as there are no angels on there already.
This may have been posted already. Ferguson’s Fake Figures, from Politico:

Superb analysis
He will, I hope, ignore the bullying message.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that age alone does not mean that you are on the “at risk” list. Does anyone know what the criteria might be?
Is Ian Dunt a typical example of a Liberal?
His book should be titled: How to be a complete tosser.
I just spent ten pleasant minutes in the sunshine at the riverside leisure and tourism hub.
Surprisingly busy as almost everywhere was closed and there are no tourists.
All ages and groups of family and friends ambling cheerfully around, sitting in twos threes and occasionally fours on the many benches.
The only people wearing masks were the pensioners emerging from their sheltered housing units for the weekly excursion to the not very nice convenience store. They were also the only swervers, so far as their walkers and zimmers allowed.
Bozo and his roadmap need to check reality.
Local nature reserve. Car park full, cafe open, all the benches/tables full, even a few hardy souls with a picnic. No masks and the side step polka seemed to be more to do with the mud still about than anything else.
Lockdown breakdown continues on a pace
‘Lockdown Breakdown’, nicely put.
We just about to head out for long afternoon walk, yesterday was far busier here both cars on the roads plus people out and about. I would say many were not local which was good to see.
Wonder if Wancock is appearing later (never watched so far and most certainly will not today) due to the weather forecast for good weather this weekend, can’t have the people thinking it is fine to go out.
I’ve now seen a few groups of joggers out who are clearly friends not household members (unless they are very weird people who live together in their 40’s!). I also saw kids playing 5 a side in the park.
The roads are clearly full of non-essential journeys. It is clearly falling apart.
Yes, been out today, the traffic was appalling – compared to recently, anyway. I even had to take a diversion because of a queue!
Yep, I saw four separate football games going on in the park today.
I predict an enormous propaganda campaign this weekend as a result. Bozo getting upset because other people are walking in the park etc. Lots of long lens shots of covidiots on the beach. Perhaps even the Queen being wheeled out again to tell us all not to be so selfish.
Hancock could threaten to ban outdoor exercise again, but frankly I think even he must realise how ludicrous that would look now.
The sooner everyone stops complying and throws away those masks the sooner we can get our lives back.
‘Warped’ may just begin to describe this pillock’s attitude.

Having listened to the discussion above, its clear Christopher Snowden is a government shill. Toby well done you had him on the ropes.
More Diddums; the national chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales this time:
Yeah, and the way your members have treated and betrayed the British public won’t be forgotten either, John!
Is there a fund where we can all chip in to have the police jabbed sooner?
If we can be assured that they’ll get the Moderna, Pfizer and AZ jabs all at once, I’ll make a huge donation…
They have no idea of how ironic the comment is.
As I recall not one single police officer has died of Covid. People like security guards and lorry drivers are far more likely to die of it. If you were going to prioritise by job you would surely do it scientifically and that would see cops and teachers at the end of the queue. Not that my lorry driver husband wants the damn jab anyway. Personally I would be happy to see it tested on home working civil servants who have spent the last 12 months making sourdough, our increasingly oppressive police and the bone idle, woke teachers. Most of them have done noting useful all year so they may as will contribute something to society as vivisection subjects. Rather them than the poor rhesus monkeys and beagles!
I think you may have meant ”die WITH it” – and there aren’t many of those either, and only a tiny number ”OF IT”.
You’re spot on about using those wasters as guinea pigs. Great idea! They’d be daft enough to welcome it too!
My brother, essentially a civil servant who has spent the last 12 months making sourdough, cannot wait to have his jab…
I’m with you on the animal testing, as I shall be explaining to my GP surgery if anyone bothers to call me again.
I want every single oinker jabbed and incapacitated
Probably the reason they don’t want to do it
Will the police be under a no jab no job order? Could be No jabby no bobby.
Ironic really. Police who want it can’t. Doctors who don’t want it are forced to have it.
Welcome to 2021 the year in which every day is like the mad hatter’s tea party.
Does punching protesters in the face increase the chance of contracting the deadly plague? Quick – give them the needle! Although most of them seem to spend their time investigating non-crime hate speech on the internet – the only “risk” involved here is the threat that these braindead jobsworth goons pose to free speech and civil liberties.
My respect for the police wavered when they took the knee for BLM. It diminished when they started walking around with their filthy face nappies on like lobotomized hypochondriac stormtroopers. And then they started beating up anti-lockdown protestors – as far as I am concerned they are the enemy now.
Reading the government’s own words on ‘mask exemption’ they specifically mention police officers. They shouldn’t be wearing them as they ”serve” the public. (Yes, I know – ”serve”!!!!)
The pigs can have my two doses
No, it obviously doesn’t mean much – because we don’t hear of police officers dropping likes flies with a dose of ”covid”. And he obviously hasn’t read that the ‘jab’ doesn’t necessarily prevent someone transmitting it. Plonker.
Especially how fat the rozzers are now
Would have thought they’d be high Rona risk
Tiny violin.
Just for you
…dang cant post pictures…
I just found a picture of the world smallest violin
Its fixed now here ya go.
“Going into people’s homes”? You mean like breaking up children’s birthday parties?
Perhaps if they stopped arresting people for sitting on benches and kept out of innocent people’s way, they might be less at risk? Just a thought.
Is there a petition to sign to get em jabbed faster? Three times?
There’s an extraordinary article in ES Magazine:
https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/are-the-superrich-skipping-the-vaccine-queue-b921226.html
I wonder if it’s just propaganda, or is it the case of “more money than sense”?
Propaganda of the best kind.
It is probably true that some are, but gives no context or proportion.
Are some super rich gagging for the vaccine? Probably.
Are most or even many? I bet not.
Agitprop to create further vax demand and societal division.
They’re always talking about this on the No Agenda podcast. A relentless effort to convince the public that not only does everyone benefit from the shot but that the rich are skipping the queue and people are trying to get the shot as quickly as possible. I also like Adam Curry’s idea of fake virtue-signalling whereby you tell people that you want other people to get the vaccine first, their lives are more important so you’re going to give up your chance of being jabbed for the greater good
Just back from my six monthly geriatric MoT and found that my doc is not a big fan of the jab. After suffering the usual “stop doing all the fun things” speech he asked if I was planning on getting the jab when my age group came up. I said no and explained that having a experimental poison for something I have a 99% or better chance of surviving didn’t seem like a good idea. He agreed with me!! He’s fed up with his patients blindly getting stabbed with no idea of what they are doing or why they are doing it. He’s all for informed choice but as most folks aren’t informed he wonders how they can make that choice. Top man.
As a footnote, the masks came off as soon as the consulting room door closed, another positive sign. Muzzles are required to enter the building and in all public areas inside, no exemptions here I’m sad to say, but they come off whenever possible. I do wonder what happens with those who have a genuine need to be exempt, there are no provisions whatsoever in our Covid regulations for them. I could write to our mini dictator and ask, but I prefer to keep my blood pressure in the normal range.
That’s brilliant! Well done to your doc, Sampa.
Another cast iron relationship forged – we should all be so lucky
I gave an exempt lanyard to my elderly neighbour when he told of being bullied by the receptionist at his (+mine) surgery. He said it worked wonders.
Good for you! Gold star award!
My lot accept the exemption lanyard without question.
This morning I happened to pass one of our GPs on his way to the surgery. He reminded me briefly of our exchange of views on the US election at my last appointment before Christmas.
Having nothing to lose as an ageing recalcitrant sceptic, I told him that Barmy Biden had recently appointed Dr Rachel Levine, until 2012 Dr Richard Levine, as Assistant Secretary for Health.
He looked bemused and said ‘ that’s interesting’, professional discretion to the fore.
I had a quick look at our legislation (I am at work right now) and apparently the only people exempt are those whose disability prevents them from using a mask correctly, and only then with a medical certificate. Lanyards, stickers and self certification won’t cut it. That is from a recent judgement by a regional court, so even this exemption isn’t a national issue.
Very few people seem to be bothered by this, but it is Brazil and as long as Flamengo won the football last night everything is right with the world!!
I suppose we should be thankful for very small mercies here, and you have all that superior Brazilian coffee to enjoy.
penultimate paragraph
How any trained medical person can endorse the muzzle fraud is absolutely beyond me.
Update on GP visit to old mum.
The person that visited turned out to be the resident nurse at the surgery who gets on quite well with old dear.. Soon as she came through the front door I hit her hard and fast with death figures and side effects she was on the back foot from the off.. I then pointed out that some of the ingredients give old mum servere allergic reactions(the chloride)of course she didn’t even know the ingredients for Fucks sake!.. After being shown Uk column video,and other incriminating material she went extremely quite and told old dear she would not be visiting again..I got the distinct impression she was upset and rather disturbed at the information I had shown her this was not in the script..
great job. thumbs up fo UKCN
Love those guys professional hard hitting..
Maybe she went quiet because she thought you were a nutter..:-)
Either way, result!
That always helps and wearing a straight jacket gives a good impression..
Well done Bruce, I think these medical staff avoid anything other than the mainstream.
It’s all bollocks!
Hopefully she will go back to work and resign. Good job.
Well done.
I take it the whole thread discussing Israel’s vaccination coercion has been deleted?
Where was it?
No idea now. I went via my ‘show comments’ thing at the top of the page and it just never loads.
It can still be found here: https://www.panscepticon.org/ls/2021-02-26.htm – until the mirror is updated
The original post has been left but the replies have been removed – some were a bit salty and some featured personal abuse, but I find it regrettable that they have been removed on a site that is controlled by TY who has worked hard for freedom of speech
Thanks. Yes, I agree about its removal.
If they were really going to impose vax passports, they’ve left it a bit late.
With millions vaccinated, how do they launch a system now and update everyone who has had it?
Feeding millions of records retroactively into a system is an insurmountable challenge.
I for one will be claiming I had my shot and they’ve made a mistake not adding me. Oh sorry, I lost my yellow card…
True. The threat of vax passporting is solely intended to drive the hesitants to the vax centres. I really doubt they have any intention of introducing it.
They are not logistically possible, as far as I can see. It’s another psy-op. They’re evil.
People need to find the confidence to say no to this bullying.
I doubt that government will try to implement it. But they’re already making it easy for big business to do so – aren’t there subsidies being given out for the production of ”passports”?
I think you’re right, but I think there will soon be a backlash and those businesses that are going into this early could find themselves in serious trouble.
which is why no retail business has said one way or the other whether they will insist on a vax passport
I don’t think we can discount them being rolled out and certainly some businesses will try and implement something along these lines to show how virtuous they are. However, I also think that much of this propaganda at the moment is to scare more people in to voluntary compliance. If you think you’ll be cut out of society a lot of people will just fall in line!!
If one pub insists on a vax passport when another pub down the road doesn’t insist will be the undoing of the vax passport.
That was one of the reasons given, IIRC, for the blanket ban on smoking in pubs. An alternative proposal was allowing smoking in pubs that could provide a designated smoking room. I can easily see HMG introducing a national vaccination passport on the grounds that a voluntary system is unfair to some people and businesses. (as if they care).
Cut out of society? What society?
wait till the tourists come back – their proof of vaccination won’t be in the Queen’s English
They’ve already go the record of someone taking a vaccine so it’s really not that difficult to post-process the data and spit it out on a “vaccine passport”. What would be more concerning from a data processing perspective is that such action might breach the Data Protection Act 2018 which embodies GDPR because they would be processing the data for a purpose for which it wasn’t originally collected so they would need permission to do that.
I doubt it the NHS is inept at the best of times
Civil Service doubly so
Hancock exempted al actions from gdpr for the lurgy as soon as it started, all your NHS data is now with all the major players.
Just got back from a lovely sunny bike ride.Birds singing. HUGE carpets of snowdrops out in the woods. Even had a cheery greeting from one of the local greengrocers outside his house. People enjoying a walk, most unmasked. Let us keep sharing positivity. Will feel uplifted for the rest of the day.
The GP in Hereford deserves support for her brave stance. Any thoughts on best way to do thi?. I will try and email her but it doesn’t seem much.

Reading that, Gwyn actually has some solid ideas, far better than toxic mRNA jabs.
If you want to ward off the effects of Covid, it’s Gwyneth’s candle you need to try…
https://uk.style.yahoo.com/gwyneth-paltrow-vagina-smelling-candle-141023407.html
wears the candle?
If you’re a lady, I can’t recommend one of Gwyneth’s “Yoni Eggs” highly enough. They get rid of the rona in minutes…
https://uk.style.yahoo.com/gwyneth-paltrow-defends-selling-vaginal-174853387.html
Two nuns in the bath, takes me back.
i thought that was soap
Yes it does
Sadly the British medical establishment always engage in smearing Gwyneth, Goop, the products she sells – it is the same kind of smearing they are doing now during the lockdown. Shame on them!!!!
Gwyneth is correct, fasting helps the body to fight viruses.
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2223688-eating-a-keto-diet-may-give-some-protection-against-the-flu/
Feed a cold, starve a fever…
Yes, so irresponsible of her, not eating too much, cutting back on sugar and alcohol and taking saunas.
Like the health chief warns, people need to listen to “the science” and not these eccentric crackpots with their wacky health ideas.
Plus, what have the scientists got to offer as an alternative, other than locking yourself in the house for a year plus and hoping that you don’t die? They won’t even recommend vitamin d FFS.
I was wondering if you could refuse the vaccine on religious grounds? Apparently the Congregation of Universal Wisdom is against them. They believe “It is sacrilege to introduce into the body living organisms or any unnatural matter that may alter the natural balance of that organism…” Maybe I’ll convert.
Whatever it takes.
sounds like Universal Wisdom to me, welcome to the flock
Yes I believe you can, just as a vegan or a pregnant lady can.
My in laws are religious and didn’t stop them rushing to get jabbed.
wrong religion
Is there a definitive itinerary of what is in the magic jab?
Just got this from a U.S. website on the Pfizer recipe (https://faqs.in.gov/hc/en-us/articles/360054531351-What-are-the-ingredients-in-the-Pfizer-BioNTech-COVID-19-vaccine-)
The Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine includes the following ingredients:
Active Ingredient
Lipids
Salts
Other
I’m not remotely scientific so the above could actually mean it contains marshmallows, sherbet lemons and cola cubes. In fact isn’t ‘sucrose’ sugar? Either way, I’d rather have the sweeties than the jab.
Remember the 2 chemicals starting ALC have NEVER been approved for us ein humans in any way, shape or form.
Only $75!!!
Do you need any grounds to refuse? The surgery rang husband today to invite him to make a vacc appt and he just said ‘no thanks; don’t have the flu jab and I won’t be having this either.’
‘oh – ok then. Can I put you down as “declined”, then?’
‘yep.’
End of conversation.

I wonder if Geoff Capes and Brian Jacks will take the vaccine? they’ll be superstars if they do.
The thought struck me – say the majority of police in the UK (and Ireland) do actually believe that there is a deadly virus doing the rounds, hence the lockdown restrictions are necessary.
If, at some future date, it were to be proven that the whole thing was a fraud, how will the State contain the anger of the police against their masters? It would explain why, having started this shitshow, the Elite can’t stop it.
I was chatting with an ex-beat copper this week and said our local police seemed to be behaving quite well compared to other forces gang grappling pensioners to the pavement for feeding the birds.

Thoughts on this? I can’t find any real way to dispute it. It’s ICU admissions for any reason, so the dodgy covid stats can’t account for it. Also, I know that hospitals have surge capacity etc – but really to that extent? Nearly twice as much again – could all those people really be fitted in?
Obviously this is only London, so other areas of the country weren’t under so much pressure.
The key to this is that the Covidian who tweeted this was only looking at flu admissions in previous years compared to covid admissions’ this winter.
If you look at the total number of ICU patients, then this was no biggie compared to other years.
The reason for the apparent paradoxis that a ‘covid patient’ is one who was admitted for any reason, but has had a ‘positive test.
If you are admitted for a heart problem but ‘test positive’, then you are a covid patient.
The Covidian’s graphs include all of these.
So, yes there are more ‘covid patients’ than flu patients in previous years.
It is pure statistical and definitional legerdemain.
Bed occupancy was much higher this winter not because of more patients, but because the number of beds has been reduced – approx. 35% fewer beds than 10 years ago.
In the middle of Jan, can’t remember which week, near the height of the winter surge a chief nurse in the NHS was on the Andrew Marr show and said that ICU beds in hospitals in and around London were overstretched but that hospitals in other areas of the country were at normal levels.
Cheers rockoman, I think the nurse was talking specifically about ICU beds.
I would expect a consistent relationship between the total number of beds occupied and the total number of ICU beds occupied, assuming the proportion of patients whe receive intensive care remains roughly the same, which seems reasonable.
The ICE beds in London may be more ‘overstretched’ if the number of beds has been reduced – perhaps to distance them.
Capacity of personnel may also be a problem because positive PCRs are leading to greatly increased absenteeism of medical staff – self-isolation etc.
Bed of Procrustes, eh?
Sorry that has gone completely over my head
Yep.
You could write the headlines, couldn’t you, Annie- “One size fits all!”
But the graph I posted was produced specifically to rubbish that idea – total number of occupied ICU beds (not %) from any cause (not just covid).
I’m hoping I’m missing something here!
He is comparing weekly admissions of flu patients in previous years to weekly admissions of ‘covid patients’ this year – not total ICU patients.
That’s what the ‘blurb’ on his graph says.
Useless, given what we know about the definition of ‘covid patient’
As I have posted further up, NHS statistics do not allow you to distinguish between those who actually have to go to hospital because of covid, and those who merely ‘test positive’ in hospital.
“Can I find out what proportion of hospital admissions are because of COVID-19 or if the primary reason for admission to hospital was for something else?No.”
https://osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/news/uk-data-on-hospital-capacity-and-occupancy/#england
Agree with rockoman below. I would add that these graphs conveniently stop at 6 January the day of maximum occupancy, I think the following days sees a reduction. As 40% of so-called ‘covid’ infections occur in hospitals, the difference between normal years and 2020/1 is explained by this, so its really measuring bed swops rather than anything else.
I am very very sceptical of any stats on twitter, either pro or con covid ( or anything else for that matter). Its an dreadful vehicle for analysis, any can post any wiggly line and with no data or context its meaningless.
To be fair the tweet is from Jan 4th. So it stops where it stops. And yeah, the whole edifice relies on the idea that a Covid patient is not misattributed from something else. So you get this inflated number and can easily then fire it up against the flu numbers for dramatic effect.
It’s simplistic but hardly incorporates much to control for other factors. This guy would never even consider the vaccine possibly bringing in a load. You’d need a really long paper to get into a true comparison of flu v covid 2020
Interesting, I hadn’t thought of the bed swapping part of it – would need total hospital occupancy to know for sure I suppose.
I’m sceptical of twitter too, but couldn’t find any way to discredit it!
The NHS has been consistently reducing the number of beds for decades. Between 2010/11 and 2019/20 hospital beds reduced by eleven percent. This reduction in itself tends to increase occupancy rate.
Agreed, but it’s not occupancy rate though, it’s total number.
Yes, and since the number of NHS beds has been consistently reduced for years, we know that if the number of beds occupied in absolute terms remains the same, then occupancy must rise – which is what has happened.
So whoever did this knew what was coming? The aim was to lock us down for nothing other than a seasonal flu and a bed shortage. Apart from Blair, Starmer and the Witless crew, who else in this country is implicated in the mess we’re in?
The NHS has been on the verge of collapse since the 80’s
At least Thatcher was actually starving the NHS of funds as it was plainly visible in most dilapidated hospitals
(I know rightoids will disagree but I remember the state of the hospitals with mine own eyes)
Where has all the cash gone since the ZanuLabour splurge is the question??
Reminds me of a village butchers near me which, in the first lockdown at least, had a sign on its door telling all over 70s to keep out at all costs because of the danger, or words to that effect.
I trust those over 70s and all their friends and family keep away from that butcher until hell freezes over.
I’m not over 70 but I will certainly be keeping away!
Why, does the regularly butcher the elderly?

Luke O’Neill, Irish Professor of Biochemistry, Pharma-investee and media celebrity, explained why people shouldn’t worry about the speed of vaccine development to the Irish Mirror:
“It’s very understandable that people are going to have these anxieties. To counter the worries, the creation of the vaccine was fast only because they put money into it.
“So, for example, if you have a man painting your house, it might take him a week.
“If you have a hundred men painting your house, it would be done in an hour, and that’s all happened here.
“It became a logistical thing. It needed money and people were deployed. That’s why it went fast, there were no shortcuts taken.”
He added: “The risk of you getting harmed by the virus far outweighs the risk of you being harmed by the vaccine, so you have to keep reminding yourself of that.
“Above all, try and be glass half-full in these troubled times, because that, too, will help your immune system.”
—————————————————————————————————
So there we have it – developing a brand new vaccine technology is just like using paint quickly. No mention of the curtailed trial stages which, I suppose is just like watching paint dry?
And would that be quick drying paint?
And how long will that paint last? Was it good quality? Will it peel and chip off? Can it be cleaned when the kids scribble all over it?
Only time will tell.
Glass half full? The govt have been glass-completely-empty-and-smashed-to-smithereens-on-the-floor throughout, and now it’s out fault for not being cheery enough?
Of course you could speed it up by not preparing the walls properly. Straight after painting it would look fine but give it a year or so and everything falls apart.

They can speed up the production of new vaccines by having lots of different groups working on them.
You still can’t speed up the clinical trials. You can’t evaluate medium and long term effects in eight months.
Or ignore the adverse reactions and pretend they don’t exist.
I think Her Maj has made a serius mistake in her intervention over the vaccine. All her reign she has never put a foot wrong and she should have known better, considering how precariously the monarchy is hanging on thanks to the actions of its younger members. I am insulted and offended at being called selfish because i don’t want a barely-tested, foreign substance plunged into my body, especially since I have had covid and therefore have antibodies, and T-cells to provide more if needed.
I am a free-born Englishwoman, and no unscrupulous get-even-richer-even-quicker control freaks from Big Tech and Big Pharma are going to force me to take a dodgy drug I neither want nor need. So kindly shut up, Ma’am.
Yes, it’s very sad. I know that our sovereign has to do as she’s told, but at the same time she is supposed to be politically neutral. This latest pronouncement strikes me as a thinly disguised apologia for a failing government.
Yes I feel disappointed in her big time for what she said, whether she was coerced to say it or not. Like you say, she should know better.
And how.
What a time to get off her royal fanny.And what a way to do it.
She’d have been better off defending the people from this outrageous attack on their liberty and health by BJ, Wancock, Witless, Unbalanced, Neil Alwayswrong and her own bloody son!
In fact, I think the monarchy should end on her sad demise.
As I just commented above, maybe that was what the ultimate goal is in getting her to do that broadcast.
Of course, what do you replace the monarchy with, a Blair type president who spends tens of millions to get elected like the US Presidency?
Anus Horribilis part deux
I don’t believe the Queen actually wanted to say that, she has been coerced into saying something her advisors and government have written for her.

“This is as direct as The Lancet can get to tell the public all ‘Covid case’ numbers & graphs so far are simply JUNK DATA.”

https://thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00425-6/fulltext”
Seems the PCR debate is suddenly slapping some people in the face recently. I just don’t get how they are surprised. All this was said about PCR from the beginning. I don’t get it.
WE heard it said. The zombies blocked their ears and said lalala.
Not to mention the report mentioned here earlier today, that for months, the PCR test has been misused with positive diagnosis being made when only one of the three proteins was present.
It is noticeable that in Wales especially, during the last three weeks in January, when pressure was being put on Drakeford to end the lockdowns with falling numbers, at least 45% of the positive case diagnosis were made en the back of the detection of one protein, when the manufacturers specifically recommend that at least two must be present.
That wrinkly, malevolent little nonentity Dungford, and his Dung Gang, know that the end of Covid bollox is the end of them. Roll on, oh roll on.

Well if the vaccines do not really work and they actually want economies/society to work at all they will need to reduce CT values. I guess these articles are the start of that process.
It was even mentioned on the BBC website months ago. Covidian friend wouldn’t believe me till he read it in the NYT and on the bbc.

It generates false negatives too-a double whammy since some carriers spread the virus and others who are vital staff isolate unnecessarily. That is why mass testing was ruled out in the 2011 Pandemic Prep. Plan, which the Govt. junked.
Very efficient filing system you have – well done
A solitary PCR test was never a ‘gold standard’. The Chinese released their diagnostic and treatment protocols in early 2020. In order to confirm the SARS-CoV-19 diagnosis of symptomatic hospitalised patients, they recommended two PCR tests separated by 2 weeks, plus a chest x-ray.
A solitary PCR test for asymptomatic individuals was guarranteed to generate a potentially dominating proportion of false positives – as intended?
Like New York Governor Cuomo suddenly in trouble a year after mandating that nursing homes had to accept potentially CV19 infected patients.
It’s a shame Public Health England and Matt Hancock aren’t under similar scrutiny.

Rishi Sunak ‘plans tax raid on pensioners’ to pay off Covid debts – Daily Mail 26/02/21
I wrote yesterday on LDS that:
It seems this rancid incompetent regime (now labelling chronic economic mismanagement as ‘Coviid debts’) have read my warning and have cynically decided to get in early before the UK does wake up. This is the thin end of a £3 trillion + Covid mismanagement wedge, where they make the mistakes and we pay for them for generations to come.
Uprising needed, or find yourselves some strong cardboard boxes to sleep in.
The bastards said that would rise with inflation. Fuck ’em Fuck ’em all.

Yes- purchase actual real-life physical gold coin, not options on assets. Then, the challenge will be where to hide them.

The bizarre thing is that a lot of so-called ‘socialists’ – even those not of the ‘national’ sort – are supporting this nonsense (not all) but don’t give a toss that the worst effects are going to descend on the poorest in society who they allegedly care about.
Hypocrites, at the least, cynical bastards manoeuvring for their own place in the apparatchik hierarchy more likely.
Seen elsewhere;
”“ The Queen has said people who refuse the coronavirus vaccine “ought to think about other people rather than themselves….. Speaking to the senior responsible officers overseeing the delivery of the vaccine across all four UK nations”
And there we thought private conversations with HM were just that. I am sure that I am not alone in thinking that the vaccination programme is not going as well as we are being led to believe. In any event this latest propaganda stunt has backfired. Sadly politicians don’t like the fact that people are educated and can think for themselves. I will not be considering this T cell stimulator until it has undergone complete trials and the results are out there for all to see….unredacted of course.”
Aren’t the Royal Family into homeopathy?
More like psyop-pathy, on this showing.
Maybe this is all part of the plan. Undermne the monarchy, then suggest that we don’t need it any more and we should adopt the US style democracy with a President.
Of course, we see how easy it is for the Presidency to be bought every four years if you have the money to do it.
Bill Gates for world President anyone?
The sole reason I’m still broadly in favour of a Constitutional Monarch as Head of State is contemplating which clapped-out superannuated chancer would probably end up as a President.
I’d guess it was a deep fake video and she’s already been got out of the way along with Philip – how else will they get their global technocracy? Didn’t the proroguing of Parliament mean that effectively the monarchy was stripped of sovereignty?
Or better yet, the hackable WiFi-connected voting machines.
Speaking from my far from accurate memory, it seems to me that far more presidents get assassinated then prime ministers, so maybe not a bad thing?
What this shows mainly is how desperate HMG is to get everyone vaccinated. I can’t remember the last time a stunt like this was pulled. The last time anything remotely like this happened was when it was suggested Her Majesty was not in favour of Scottish independence or Remain, but in both cases that never went beyond speculation in the papers.
HMQ made one very cryptic remark about Indyref, knowing the attendant microphones would pick it up. She might well think she’s doing good by allowing it to be put about that she wants us all jabbed- none of them are terribly bright.
Prince Charles is. The Queen is from a much earlier generation for such a modern fad.

Never thought you’d join lockdownsceptics.
Little disagreement with Mummy was it?
There was a discussion yesterday about the likely vaccine take-up and someone thought it might end up at around 60%. So just for info these are the latest figures from my home town. They have moved onto the 60-65 age-group now.
Latest UK graphs from David Clark who has kept these stats updated since the start.
Showing the all cases and ‘with’ covid deathrates have peaked. The graphs show that deaths ‘with’ covid for over 75s are slightly above normal now, but those for 45-74s are still significantly higher. Given the supposed reduction in just about every other major disease fatalities, he speculates as do I , that this enhanced fatality in these age groups is because of lockdown and not covid.

Just heard the debate between Toby Young and Snowden.
That Snowden fellow comes across as a bit of a simpleton.
It would be good if someone could explain to him that making an assertion and calling it science does not actually constitute scientific evidence.
If this guy is a respected journalist, then one can only despair at the overall intellectual level of journalists.
Not that it matters much but he also looked like he’d dragged through a hedge backwards and had poor body language. TY looked a lot more alive. The same was true of the Hitchens v Hodges debate
While remaining unfailingly polite (conspicuously unlike his opponent), Hitchens gave Hodges a bloody good schooling.
It was embarrassingly clear in one of Peston’s early pressers with Witless and Unbalanced that he didn’t understand the difference between an antibody and an antigen. Most of these media types seem never to have had the remotest interest in science to begin with and to have abandoned its study at the earliest legally-permissible opportunity. Not just media types, of course.
I have no idea of the difference between the two either so that’s one thing I wouldn’t hold against Peston
No; but Peston is a State courtier, and I assume you’re not.
C S Lewis must have had a pre-vision of Bozo when he made the Ape Antichrist in The Last Battle address the people (talking beasts) that he proposes to enslave:
‘And now here’s another thing,’ said the Ape… ‘I hear some of the horses are saying, Let’s hurry up and get this job of carting timber over as quickly as we can and then we’ll be free again. Well, you can get that idea out of your heads at once […] What do you know about freedom? You think freedom means doing what you like. Well, you’re wrong. True freedom means doing what I tell you.’

“Can I find out what proportion of hospital admissions are because of COVID-19 or if the primary reason for admission to hospital was for something else?
No.”
https://osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/news/uk-data-on-hospital-capacity-and-occupancy/#england
This means that any attempts at, for example, comparing the number of ‘covid patients’ in hospital in the Winter of 2020-2021 with the number of flu patients in previous years are useless.
I haven’t bothered to do this for a long time, but you used to able to go into published NHS stats by hospital and work out how many ‘with’ covid patients each had, and how many died each day etc. This did not give you admission break down though. I think the NHS has it but does not publish because it will show an appalling record for infections in hospitals, not just for covid, but just about everything else. If you want to get sick, get admitted to hospital, especially in the UK.
That was known decades ago.

Watched quite a lot of talk radio recently and have noticed the same pattern.
The guest, be they a member of government, an NHS chief etc, will assert that lockdowns, masks, social distancing etc, works.
JHB will refute that point, using data and statistics, and then without fail, the guest will respond not with their own data, but with emotion. “Well I think we can all agree” or “It is obvious that” or “just look at the situation on the ground”. JHB will angrily try again, to no avail, and that will be the interview.
The two are diametrically opposed. The “look in their eyes” campaign writ large. It is utterly ridiculous. I felt the same when Lord Sumption attempted to assert that some lives have more intrinsic worth than others, to be screamed at by people living the ad slogan “because I’m worth it”.
Rationality is regressive in this age of emotional incontinence.
When someone tells me to put a mask on or leave, I feel marginalised, bullied, belittled, made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
I don’t, but if I did it’d trump what I actually feel, which is like I want to beat them with a mallet.

The UK isn’t big enough to move and make a difference.
Perhaps we should encourage the lockdown fanatics to move to California, or New York, where the politics will better suit them.

C S Lewis again, writing in 1960. Truly he had foresight.
The speaker is Screwtape, a senior devil. He has just been lamenting the poor quality if the sinners served up at a banquet in Hell. But at least the devils have no shortage of food, because damnation is now so easy:
“He [God] did not create humans – He did not become one of them and die among them by torture – in order to produce candidates for Limbo – ‘failed’ humans. He wanted to make Saints; gods, like Himself. […] But not only that. As the great sinners grow fewer, and the majority lose all individuality, the great sinners become far more effective agents for us. Every dictator or even demagogue– almost every film-star or crooner – can now draw tens of thousands of the human sheep with him. They give themselves (what there is of them) to him; in him, to us [devils]. There may come a time when we shall have no need to bother about individual temptation at all, except for the few. Catch the bell-wether and his whole flock comes with him.”
Prescient indeed.
It’s funny, but while the pavement swerving on the streets is as extreme as ever, down the park you wouldn’t know any of this was happening. Hundreds and hundreds of people about, teenagers having games of football and cricket (not just dads kicking the ball around with their kids, proper five-a-sides), BMX’ers and skaters on the ramps, little kids in the playground, young couples holding hands and the picnic tables all taken.
I suppose to an extent it’s a self-selecting sample as by definition, people who go to the park want to have fresh air and exercise, and be around other people, knowing these things are good for them.
Yes – self-selecting – but increasingly there’s no shame/stigma in behaving like this. Are the leapers and the swervers becoming the eccentrics? Have we reached a tipping point? I don’t want to call it, but things have felt more positive to me over the past few days.
It’s very hard to know. Back in the summer when the pubs were open again and functioning reasonably normally I found many receptive ears for what I was telling them and got the feeling there was a lot more resistance out there. Since being deprived of that real world personal contact the propaganda drowns everything out again.
Just a note of caution. It probably felt like this last spring as well. It didn’t work out too well though did it?
Let the sheep stay in their pens, after all it is lambing time.
Meanwhile us sceptics ( real normal people) will do what normal people do.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveypilot/26february2021
Prevalence of SARS-C0V-2 or SARS-CoV-2 fragments (as measured by PCR positives) falling in most age groups. But no sign the fall in prevalence in the over 70s is really any greater than in other age groups if you look at how the prevalence has gone down rather than the absolute value. And that’s true from a quick glance at the data if you extend back in time to when experimental vaccination started. How strange!
It’s quite possible that it doesn’t prevent infection but does reduce clinical symptoms.
Or that the tests are not very accurate
Or that the vaccines have very little effect one way or the other especially to groups for whom covid is possibly a big problem
I simply fail to see with the way testing is done and data is collected and things are categorised, and with a seasonal virus that may be disappearing anyway because of the season and increased population immunity, how any conclusions can be drawn, and the cynic in me says that the govt is fine with not really knowing what’s going on
Exactly. You can propose a theoretical death curve but the minute you look at the real data any conclusions are predicated on the quality of the data. Data with a lot of noise means you’re looking at shapes in the clouds.
You do accept Covid is seasonal, I presume?
When the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 1996, they tried to erase all traces of the pre-Islamic past. Perhaps most notoriously, the Buddhas of Bamiyan, 6th century monumental statues, were blown up in 2001.
We are in the midst of a similar process. Not a physical but a cultural cleansing. Civil society, pubs, live music, theatre, small businesses are all being razed to the ground. This is not an unfortunate by-product of the lockdown – it is deliberate. The lockdown is serving the same purpose as the Taliban’s iconoclastic dynamite, and is inspired by the same intolerant fanaticism.
The members of this new Taliban are the acolytes of neo-liberal globalism. Like the Islamic Taliban they despise the decadent, heretical past. They dislike old buildings and furniture and art. They dislike real world clubs and organisations. They dislike any culture that isn’t online and streamed and that predates Star Wars (which for them is an ancient text as foundational as Homer and the Old Testament: actually they have little interest in anything from before about 2015). They live mostly through apps – travel (Uber), sex and dating (Tinder/Grindr), food (Deliveroo). They are early-adopter transhumans, merged with their phone and the internet, only associating with their own kind. They are narcissistic, obsessed with fitness and their physical appearance. Woke is their political creed; Trump their Antichrist. In the UK they first entered Number 10 with Tony Blair (and have never left), but with the rise of the Millennials they have morphed into a digital, 2.0 upgrade of this rather analogue founding father. (Blair was the clunky old Terminator; the new breed are the liquid metal shape shifting one).
They are rife in the media, the law, the education system, the civil service, the charitable sector. They are the establishment now. And you know them when you see them: they have the plastic faces and robot eyes of Mark Zuckerberg; the self-regarding messianic smugness of Devi Sridhar and Carrie Symonds. Silicon Valley is their Mecca and they pray to it 24 hours a day. They are the Build Back Better brigade.
The manufactured Covid crisis is the best thing that ever happened to the lockdown Taliban. It is their revolutionary moment. They revel in the destruction of the old and the opportunity for radical renewal. The lockdown strengthens and furthers everything they believe in and bulldozes everything they hate. It is ushering in the New Normal of their android dreams. 2020 is their Year Zero and they are determined that we will never go back.
Well, they might try.
It won’t work, because their very nature means that they don’t understand us.
All of the sectors you listed are parasitical – poduce nothing.
This whole system is on its way out with the end of the current financial system, along with all of those you mentioned.
Great post.Ought fo be in the Grauniad. Ha ha…
Very good. They are almost a new type of human. The Soviets and the Nazis failed to create new man but these freaks seem to have done it spontaneously. Their faces are bland and devoid of understanding, empathy or humour.

I see a couple fatal flaws in their plan.
One is tying all these databases together across industries. Even if you have the energy and money available that is decades of planning and programming to really do it right.
The second is their insistence on Green Energy. They really think they can run all-this electric hungry transhumanist infrastructure on solar and wind in these northern climes?
Yeah, no.
Absolutely- and on a strange and not unrelated note as I mentioned earlier- the technocrats back in the 1930s were a movement that espoused exactly those ideas and had their own vaguely SS uniform which all technocrats wore in a specific dull grey colour named technocracy grey. (I haven’t made this up – look it up). I’ve just been walking around a very affluent part of London and noticed every door, all the railings and all the cars were in the same deep grey colour. Is this just a fashionable colour at the moment or have we actually already been taken over by these people (who never smile judging from the couple of people I saw)?
Grey is the colour you are correct ! Any house that is poshed up is using it for door frames soffit boards etc ! Proper 1984 must Have !!..
Grear post and spot on. As both Walker and Blunkett have pointed out in their recent joint interview, we are in the midst of a new puritanism and your post links nicely into what they said.
Powerful stuff Johnsontown.
Truth can be a nuclear weapon in the right hands.
Well done that was a great analogy !! Actually brilliant ! Ain’t half some clever barsterds & you are one
This is pretty much exactly how it is with the 20 somethings, I saw it coming but I could put my finger on it. You are very right about this.
The bread-head hipster in his cereal bar is their counter culture and its as fake as they are, Fake as their false fingernail, false as their eyelashes, false as their eyebrows, false as their gleeming white teeth, as false as their world views.
A very sorry sight..
As it’s such a beautiful spring day and far too nice for serious stuff before I go for a nice homemade veg curry with all the trimmings here is something a bit on the fun, if spooky, side:

If you’re interest in this stuff, AG, Chris Spivey has done a lot of comparisons.
Cleobury Mortimer, the 3rd smallest town in Shropshire is absolutely heaving with people of all ages, out and about.
Lockdown, what lockdown?
Same in my little corner of East Anglia. The local beauty spot was crowded today, and the car park nearly full, so they were not local people. Lots of people about; only saw two maskoids, and no swervers.
Hate swervers with a vengeance.
Great news.
Good. Excellent news.
They can’t arrest everyone.
Coppers seem to be very quiet lately or is that just wishful thinking on my behalf?
I’m sure I read somewhere that they’ve all died of shame, Philip.
Excellent ! Just walked the dog to the top of the Lickey Hills & the car park was rammed
Ludlow unfortunately was almost completely deserted when I walked around the historic centre about an hour ago. I suspect too many of the people of that town are elderly and nervous. I suppose I am elderly now, but I am forthright, aggressive and awkward.
I just watched The Pandemic podcast with guest Joel Smalley, as linked in the comments this morning.
it is long, but excellent research and well worth watching, so I highlight it again.
https://youtu.be/NWTaEtkZiA4
And to be fair, Joel is just taking the ONS deaths from Covid as is. He’s not even trying to break down if the attributions are correct.

If they do, we will have squandered many of the resources we could use to deal with them.
We could be hit by a deadly meteor.
We can’t live our lives in a perpetual state of fear, much as he’d like us to.
If he is serious about the more deadly viruses (not that this one was as bad as was originally thought) then maybe he should be warning the Chinese and other countries that are busily researching viruses by deliberately making them more infectious and deadly that what they’re doing is dangerous, and they should stop. Eventually one that’s much worse will escape from a lab.
Billionaires could fund vaccines for all, but they don’t.
Is that a threat, Tony?
Does anyone have or know of a transcript of Lord Sumption’s recent Talk Radio phone-in interview, the one in which he said citizens are not tools at the government’s disposal or words to that effect? I am going to be addressing some people tonight and would like to have it at hand.
This is a video clip of the interview but I don’t know if this is of use and/or covers all the points you were interested in.
https://twitter.com/talkRADIO/status/1364148362216415235
Thanks DD – that’s the one I mean but I don’t have to time to transcribe it – meeting is coming up soon. Just hoping someone else mighta done it.
Anyway I have the salient phrase: “(Yesterday’s statement)…is based on the assumption that human beings are essentially at the disposal of the government, that they are all tools of social policy.”

Ffs sheeple.
The only reason that I voted remain was to have easy movement in Europe. That’s gone for good I think anyway. Can you imagine stopping travel between US states? Shows the bankruptcy of the EU project.
I’m in the US and I believe we will see moves to limit travel between states within 12 months.
Sorry to hear that. I don’t believe a country can have internal borders for long and stay in one piece. Here in the UK, nationalists in Wales and Scotland are trying this to weaken the union. It might work too.
We’ve had this since early on. To enter certain provinces you must quarantine for 2 weeks. We can technically travel between provinces, but they’re certainly trying to discourage it.
Illegals will still be free to roam
And the latest from here.
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/
Presumably the ‘Patients admitted’ figures are for patients who are deemed to be ‘covid’ admissions following a positive test when they have been admitted to hospital, irrespective of the reason for admission.
Is anyone able to point me to statistics for all cause hospital admissions over the same period? Being that we have been told over the past couple of weeks that the pressures on the NHS have diminished (because ‘covid’ numbers have gone down) and they are no longer close to being overwhelmed I was interested to see statistics which would be a true indicator of whether pressures had indeed gone down (in terms of all cause patient admissions) or whether they had remained fairly steady or at least consistent compared with previous years.
The high number of tests conducted still surprises me.
At least half of them will come from care homes and hospital settings, I guess.
My friend works as a carer and as an agency worker regularly works in a small privately owned and run home for adults with learning difficulties. She has to do a LFT every week before her shift. I wonder if that test is included in the statistics.
I’ve been told I will have to do the LFT twice a week for a part-time job amounting to only 10 hours per week. I’m going to tell them where to shove it.
Just back from the vets with my dog and her very poorly paw. Only unmasked person in there . A disapproving look from one woman who declared that she “didn’t want to wait in the reception” (well bugger off then). Almost time to leave work now and get scrubbed up for Friday night speak easy, and the deployment of my middle finger to Boris & his criminal cartel.
Speak Easy
How , Where ( only approx ) when & in what form ???
Myself and a friend host regular ‘pub nights’ in our homes. The only problem is keeping the numbers down because we don’t want to attract too much attention.
Midlands. A bar within a clubhouse, and a godsend to me since March last year.
My poor dog managed to damage his same leg twice since lockdown. (more serious occasion, broke all the ‘fingers’ in his front left paw) Vets all marvellous, no fuss about masks, although social distancing except in actual consultations.
Oh, your poor dog. Mine had a a nasty infection between the pads. Vet cleaned it all out and administered some drugs. My purse is £158.00 lighter
Always makes me smile wryly when I go past our vets’ surgery. All the vets muzzled, all the dogs bare-faced.
We’ll keep fighting to stay open, say bookshop owners fined £18,000
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/well-keep-fighting-to-stay-open-say-bookshop-owners-fined-18000/
One of the great simple joys for me was to occasionally to take a train trip to another town and just wander into a bookshop, pick up a novel or a history book and just find a nice pub to have a bite to eat and a couple of hours reading time over a few pints. I can’t describe how much I miss it.
Same here. Have boycotted bookshops due to the madness of muzzling, one way systems, quarantined books and anti-social distancing. The few times I went was for click & collect or buy and run – have a list, grab the books, pay then get the hell out. No browsing and no spontaneous purchases as well.
Prior to all this, I frequented the best bookshop in Dublin (owned by Waterstones) monthly and would regularly drop €70/€80 on books.
Since lockdown, this has stopped and I now buy online. My most recent purchases have been direct from the author selling their publication copies – having had a bit part in a book published in 2014, the norm is that the authors get to buy copies from the publishers at the wholesale price (2/3 of retail) and can then sell these at retail (or whatever price suits them).
That kind of afternoon is absolutely glorious. I miss it too.
Jo, you’re making me weep. Let’s meet in Hay on Wye after the war (!) and have a book ORGY.
Other bookworms, come and join us!
Surely you can’t rent said seating, because that would make you complicit in a breach of covid law, and you wouldn’t want to do that, would you?
Apologies if already posted.
Covid regulations accused had right of silence.
https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/covid-regulations-accused-had-right-of-silence/5107550.article
A person suspected of breaching the coronavirus regulations is not required by law to give the police their name and address, an appeal has ruled. Keith Neale, a 60-year-old homeless man, had his conviction for obstructing a police officer by failing to give his details quashed, by the High Court sitting in Cardiff.
In an important judgment on the legal duties of citizens under the coronavirus regulations Mrs Justice Steyn and Lord Justice Dingemans ruled that Neale was under no common law obligation or statutory duty to give the police his name and address.
Some Friday inspiration from Governor DiSantis in Florida:
Gov. Ron DeSantis: Florida ‘Oasis of Freedom’ in Country of Lockdowns (breitbart.com)
They are blessed to have him.
A true hero in a world gone mad. We desperately need people like him here.
I think he’s just signed his own death warrant. Taking on facebook and big tech, and being anti-lockdown, the elite won’t like that.
He has already ploughed through the worst they can throw, when he opened up in September. He was proven correct in his decision.
As indeed all the other countries and states that didn’t follow the narrative. Lets see if he can keep going, well for all our sakes. I may need to claim asylum in Florida at this rate.
There’s going to be an awful lot of people being told to F.O then!
Up until now I’ve managed to contain my fear of no vaccination, no health treatment. I get it that people want to be able to travel and go on holiday. If they think having an injection(s) of questionable toxicity via an experimental technology is a risk worth taking in order to go someplace, then I see that as being up to them. It could be as simple as personal choice. Unfortunately that won’t work for President Bill et al.
This notion that having one of these vaccinations confers permission for said individual to do something, get something, have something has no bounds. The government tried it on this week with the masks and testing in order for kids to be able to go into school. Whilst there was push-back and clarification the point is they set it up as being mandatory, and schools and far too many parents were all too ready to comply.
We have employers including the NHS stipulating no jab no job. No matter how this infringes informed consent, civil liberty, sovereignty over one’s body, ECHR and whatever else that used to be important pre-covid, could these employers cope with a mass exodus I wonder.
Considering the NHS in particular then. On the one hand Witless says all medics must have jab so not much of a stretch to fear his next words will be all patients must have jab. It’s already the case that in-patients get covid tested and some departments insist on testing before some treatments. I fear it won’t be long, therefore, before we hear Witless or one of the other goons postulate that, in order for any individual to receive any form of NHS treatment/intervention a covid injection is required.
I have considered this scenario long and hard over these past months for I need regular meds and hospital treatments in order to preserve my eyesight. I will not take their experimental injections for what I consider to be valid, informed reasons. That being so I figure I now have to keep telling myself to stay calm, carry on as best I can, and hope and pray my sight lasts as long as I do.
Peace and courage to everyone out there with similar and worse fears to face.
Stay calm. You are not alone, although it may seem that way.i have ulcerative colitis and rely on regular prescriptions with equipment. So I’ve got the same fears.
However, I do think some people don’t see this evil. We do, and it may mean they will have to be shown just how evil their so called guardians are. The depths to which they’ll sink.
If that doesn’t work, then this world is darker than I could ever imagine and I don’t know if I’d want to be part of it.
It’s a very valid fear. I would hold out as long as possible as I think this “vaccine” is going to be an utter failure like every other coronavirus vaccine ever attempted. They will only be able to cover up the deaths and vaccine injuries for so long. There will also be court challenges. Some on this forum believe it’s a psy op to get people to comply “voluntarily” and I think there’s some merit to that idea. And one final point — the more of us who do not comply the more difficult it will be for them to implement any of these vaccine passports and no jab/no job threats. What percentage of us can be marginalized without any pushback? I don’t know the answer, but I’m hoping everyone who is able to resist does so for the sake of people like you who need medical treatment. There is power in numbers, not to mention we are on the right side of history.

Off topic: Can’t remember who asked me about the 1986 Edsa uprising that overthrew Marcos but here’s a recent webinar from my former lecturer about what happened during those 4 days in February 1986 and remembering it.

My wife has just been sworn at by a man in a local playground because our five-year-old son went too close to him. Just another example of human society crumbling around us.
She’s fine, by the way, albeit a little shocked.
Jesus wept.
If he’s too scared just because a kid went too close to him he should go home and lock himself inside forever.
Then take a long hard look at himself in the mirror.
Agreed
How pathetic
Indeed. “Stunning and Brave”
I would have knocked him out.
I would have coughed and blown my nose close to him. The shock would probably have sent him into cardiac arrest.
He needs a knuckle sandwich
Good job your son didn’t hand him a toy phone. The law of the universe is that when a kid hands you a toy phone you take it and answer.
What is this man doing outside??? Surely he needs to stay in his home so he can be safe in perpetuity. What a disgusting excuse for a human being.
If it had been someone’s dog, the man would have kissed its nose through a germ-ridden mask then touched the mask and then his grandkids.

Headline: Mediator recommends €990k award for teenager who sued over swine flu jab
But don’t worry – vaccines are safe.
Well, they are indeed safe – for the manufacturers, since they have been protected from legal ramifications of side effects!
Yes vaccine damage can happen to anyone – it doesn’t always happen to other people
I’ve tried to make that point with respect to the Covid “vaccines.” With Covid, we know our risk based on our age. With the “vaccine” there is absolutely no way to know if you will end up dead or severely injured. Perhaps having serious allergies is one risk factor, but otherwise it’s impossible to know what your actual risk is from any vaccine and most people learn the hard way. Any rational person, particularly in the under 70 group, would clearly see that the risk from Covid is lower than the risk from an untested, experimental gene therapy.
Just a story showing some ups and downs. I cycled about twenty five miles to another town today and caught the train back. Hardly anyone wearing masks outside, although this is the Midlands countryside. Many on the train not wearing them either. Back in my town centre fairly large groups of friends enjoying a drink in the sun. Thumbs up from me. Stopping at some traffic lights a pedestrian shouted out me to get back, get back! Pure panic. Met my new neighbour back at my front door with a hearty handshake. Going to a friends tonight a couple of counties over. This is the best I can do under these conditions.
I have just been out for a pedal about and it wasn’t too bad, literally one or two maskholes. One guy had a fancy black n white one on, taking pictures of crap with a swanky camera. One pretentious poncy old git if ever I saw one.
I gave him a hard stare and called him a effin wanker.
Had to venture into town yesterday – so many people muzzled outdoors walking down the main drag. All effin wankers – should be called Effinwanker Town.
I just whizzed over the street and down the canal and I didn’t look….
Best plan
Hope you’ve dried out by now, 2-6 ..
I thankfully managed to avoid the canal again…one day I know I won’t be so lucky. Anyway I know it isn’t that deep at the edges so unless I am going really fast i should be able to stand up and climb out.
However at the moment its like a log flume. I think if I did go in it would be curtains…
Two-six, you must make an effort to cast off that hampering chain of courtesy.
Fuck ’em.
That really sucks K, sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear this, but this has happened in civil wars and occupations throughout history, and right now we’re in a situation which combines elements of both. There hasn’t been anything like this in mainland Britain for decades – the miners’ strike is the nearest thing I can think of, and that only affected a minority of communities.
Yes, I have also been thinking of civil wars and there are elements of them here. This has to stop now.
I asked my dad what it was like living through the late seventies. Dominic Sandbrook’s history makes it sound really chaotic. Britain really was in a nosedive from 77’ to 80’. The unions were dictating policy, (disastrous), and weak conservative and labour govts weren’t really in control it seems. Power outages, three day weak, crippling rolling strikes.
My dad doesn’t have much to say about it. Candles and coats on the bed. High inflation.
Despite all this the duopoly in British politics stayed in tact. I’m not aware of panic at that time though causing a breakdown in community and societal relationships.
Just an observation.
Your dad has one view – the other is that Unions protected working people and their destruction by MT led to the gig economy and all from which we now suffer.
Fair point. I wish the unions would speak out today though. Petition their members. If this isn’t worth striking over I don’t know what is.
The big difference then was that we were still free.
I lived through the 70s and it wasn’t ideal, but it was paradise compared to the hell of now.
KH (blessings be upon you), there is a great philosophy, most efficaceous in every case. It really does cover every difficult situation, and it’s what AG just said. Let it be your mantra.
Groovy spiritual shit eh? This ‘beer’ thing is really good…
Can’t believe they’ve already taken the bait to blame non vaxxers. Have they just a little mouse turning a wheel in their cranium?
Divide and conquer tactics. Remember we are all victims in this, whilst i don’t like how these people behave, ultimately the only way we can win is getting them on our side. Love your enemy.
Can’t.
Thinking of the fat, venomous old cow who dobbed me – I’ll love her when I love Satan.
One possibility is the government plans to allow a brief respite in the summer and then plunge us back into lockdown, using a lack of vaccine take-up as the reason. This takes the blame off them and transfers it to a minority group. It’s been done before by a certain Austrian gentleman with a small moustache, I think.
That’s EXACTLY what they’re going to do.
I was told a long time ago that you do not have freinds in business just people who haven’t fucked you over yet.
That guy was right.
Here’s one for you
That would look good on a tee shirt…
You’re truly a person of principles, willing to lose customers to stand up for your beliefs. Very few around! Now how to find you so me and the wife can come and eat from your place.
Of course, Queenie just does what she is told to do and say. Spitting Image could doubtless provide a perfect (and less costly) replacement!
Spitting Image (the original one) did a parody of Moody Blues’ “Go Now” shortly before Thatcher lost the PM gig and this included Brenda’s model playing an electric guitar with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. Far cooler and more likely to attract tourism to the UK (not that there will be much of that going forward – I wonder what new excuse for maintaining the Royal parasites will be used in future?).
Reasons to give for not getting the jab:
‘I want my dose to go to someone more needy.’
‘I’m waiting for the human trials to end.’
‘I prefer to wait for one that’s 100% effective.’
‘Covid levels are too high, so I can’t leave the house.’
‘I’m waiting to see which vaccine lets you travel.’
‘I might as well wait until autumn because the one they have now won’t be any good by then.’
Or
Im vegan
Its against my religion
I’m pregnant and no evidence to support it won’t affect my baby
I want children in the future, no evidence to support it won’t affect my fertility
I wish I was young enough to give the last two excuses as they will probably be seen as more valid. I am actually vegan but can see this as being easily dismissed.
yeh, if that’s what it takes
“I’m part of the control group. You believe in the scientific method, right?”
That’s been my position. If I’m to be part of a human trial, I choose to be in the control group. Still doing my duty and am sacrificing for others by letting someone more deserving have my doses.
A control group is exactly what they don’t want!
A few more reasons,
Fuck off I don’t want to die
If you poke me I’ll have to stab you back in revenge.
“I’m not taking an experimental gene therapy that is still undergoing clinical trials with unknown side effects and which does not prevent viral transmission”. There, that should do it.
My (main) reason for not having one is because the government wants me to have one.
Mine, now, us that the Queen is bleating at me.
Eff off, queenie. I might even have considered the snake oil, for the sake of domestic peace, until you opened your stupid gob.
Not now.
“Do I look that fucking stupid ?”
This was discussed on TR this morning, i.e. now that the majority of vulnerable people in the country have been vaccinated, why is the government still continuing with the lockdown? It’s certainly not because you or anyone else hasn’t had the jab yet.
As for the customer, he’s a rude and nasty piece of work, who still believes the government’s promises.
I WANT TO BE SAFE NO MATTER THE COST!!!! MAKE ME SAAAAFFFEEE!!!!!!!!
4 masks, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should do it. That and the “vaccine.”
But pull those bed sheets tight over your head at night, just to be sure.
Sherelle Jacobs on the superb Warroom show, hosted by Stephen K Bannon, suggested our lousy government were embarking on a strategy of zero CCP Virus on the sly. I feel she is right.
That’s definitely Raheem’s doing that she’s on. Raheem has been on point on lots of things recently and frankly he has an eloquence that is surprising for a guy in his thirties.
He is growing on me and is now getting more assertive, standing up to Steve’s interjections. That was a top interview with Sherelle.
I went off the Queen when she (as I see it) broke her coronation oath by not supporting the Union at the time of the Scottish independence referendum. If there was one duty for a ceremonial head of state, that was it: to speak out if the country she had sworn to defend was in danger of being broken apart.
I think there’s a bit of a difference. In the past, it has seemed that HMQ kept quiet (eg joining EEC, Scots referenda, Brexit) when perhaps she could have spoken out, but since her default status is to keep quiet, it was not so bad.
But this time, with the vaccine, she actually spoke out and commented instead of keeping quiet. I don’t think she did this malevolently, and probably believes it was for the best, but all the same it does not show her in a good light.
I’m assuming of course that a sin of commission is worse than a sin of ommission, which some may disagree with.
Following my disheartening walk the other day I have been taking someone else’s advice on here and going on routes where I am unlikely to meet depressing people.
However this afternoon I had to laugh. I was walking along a 2m wide path and coming towards me up ahead was some morbidly obese old woman shuffling along with shopping bags. The look of sheer horror on her face when she saw me was a picture. Quite why I have no idea. Anyway, she stopped and started frantically rummaging around in her bag like mad as I got closer and closer. It was like a race against time for her. I wondered what an earth she was doing. Then a look of relief came over her as she triumphantly pulled out a mask, quickly put it on as I walked past, then after I had gone past, she promptly took it back off again.
Amazing!
This is a mental health pandemic.
My god! Mind you have to give it to the government, they have excelled with their brainwashing!
I had a similar experience the other day. A woman pressed herself against the wall as I walked down a narrowish pavement. I smiled as I walked past her but I don’t know if she smiled back because she was masked up. Did she really expect me to walk onto the road? And would the queen call me selfish for not doing so? What a weird world it has become.
I walked past a bloke the other day with a dog, he leaned his head away from me and the rest of his body so he was bend over sideways and moved away with his dog straining at the lead increasing the distance between me and him, arm outstretched. It really was very weird, he was trying to swerve his head but not let on that he was swerving….mental.
You don’t look THAT scary!
We live in a world where being kind and courteous is worthy of nothing, it isn’t even an aspiration, but the ‘signal’ of taking an experimental vaccine makes you a saint. Welcome to hell folks, the Devil’s on his throne!
Yes, it’s now perfectly acceptable to shout at someone in the street for the imaginary crime of passing too close – as long as you’ve had the vaccine that is, because that makes you better than anyone else.
We’ve slipped so far in the last 40 years that I can only see that people’s manners and ability to relate will get worse. The hysteria around this is in large part a reaction to the social breakdown that was there already, people just unconsciously (and consciously in some cases) feel that by overreacting to this they might claw something back. The pandemic of lonliness, isolation and social awkwardness is set to accelerate. People aren’t there for eachother because they won’t take the ‘risk’ to be there for them. No amount of controlling risk will help, it just serves to create an executive that will identify more excuses and reasons not allowing meaningful social interactions.
It’s exactly what Charles Walker was saying in the unherd interview – a must-listen for anyone that hasn’t yet.
It is a brilliant interview – by both Walker and Blunkett
Indeed, now on the back of this need for “ social distance” WhatsApp and Zoom have seriously impacted on conversation – I crave the chats and social banter of the past – I can’t even talk to the postman now he’s masked up.
How true, but sheep can’t see sh*t.
Has van Tam just moved the goalposts? 40 million more jabs before Tiers 1 to 9 have both doses of the vaccine…not safe to more out of restrictions. Telling us not to “wreck the progress”…again any shortcoming with the measures implemented are our fault and not the ineffectiveness of the measures.!
I wonder does he have geared shares in a vaccine company or subsidiary. He has to meet a quota then he hits paydirt
His network in Pharma will guarantee the money rolls in with or without shares.
He’ll never be PM so watch him roll into the private sector in the next few years. Either that or jail, he’s bet the house that’s for sure.
Definitely something like that IMO. I don’t believe in the over-arching conspiracy theory that it’s all a grand plan by the WEF etc, but I do believe there are a lot of very dodgy fingers in some very gamey pies at very high levels.
It’s undeniable that very many people in positions of influence have a material interest in keeping the panic going for as long as possible.
Shares in companies that make f***ing masks, that sort of thing.
I think we can be certain that SOMETHING is going on, there is some deliberate, purposeful, hidden agenda, although the details can only really be speculation. We can be certain that a pandemic has been faked, using lies and brainwashing techniques,in order to usher in a spectacularly authoritarian regime which apparently has global reach. Even without all the facts available to us, the stench of evil is unmistakeable, impossible to see how there couldn’t be a mountain of corpses at the end of all this…evil will have to play itself out in the usual way. Personally, I doubt the WEF, or Klaus Schwab are the chief architects or drivers of it, nor even Bill Gates. They are an expression of it, they have picked up some reflection of it, from the circles and networks they move in. They give us some kind of hint of what the enemy looks like. The only individual I could pinpoint as the driving force is Satan himself.
Yes. I’ve never had much time for the dualistic concept of the universe, but for the first time in my life these past few months I’ve felt palpable evil stalking the land. It’s not the stuff of Rwanda or Pol Pot or Oradour-sur-Glane – yet – but there’s a whiff of sulphur in the distance that has the stench of the Pit about it.
I absolutely agree.
Not every generation is faced with naked evil stalking in its midst, but our generation is.
And what do most of them do? Jockey for position on the road to Hell, with church leaders in the vanguard.
Well, we ain’t going there.
Astra zeneca stock is down 17pct over the last 6 months, 4 pct over the last year. Despite all the hype, they are not having a good pandemic.
So the vaccine salespeople must try harder.
The BBC.
Simple explanation -the AZ is sold at cost.
That was known from day 1 , so it’s not the explanation. Also the boosters are not going to be at cost.
Define “cost”. What head office and other overheads have been included in the selling price? Declaration of interest – I am an accountant.
There’s the rub. ‘Cost’ can mean a lot of things, and I’m not even an accountant.
No. It’s because they announced the acquisition of US rare disease company Alexion for a part stock transaction in December.
This will dilute existing shareholders, result in shorting from M&A arbitrage players (until the deal closes) and several of their major investors are less than impressed with the deal.
It’s not to do with the vaccine.
Sorry to use such a clunky way of communicating this article, but Tom Jefferson’s comment piece in the BMJ in 2017 says it all :
“Revolving doors are used to facilitate entry or exit into a building. The trick with using these doors is always to get your timing right. Too fast or too slow and you get stuck. The analogy seems apposite for a brace of recent announcements of important pharmaceutical industry figures taking over parts of UK operations in key aspects of healthcare planning and delivery. … Jonathan Van Tam has been appointed Deputy Chief Medical Officer responsible for emergency preparedness and pandemic planning. This is a similarly senior position which holds great power and will potentially involve committing huge quantities of taxpayers’ money to projects preparing for future emergencies, which may or may not come about. It is also a very delicate role as the amount of lobbying and corporate pressure applied on governments before the 2009 influenza pandemic shows. What are we to make of all this? The lowering of regulatory and HTA standards is in full swing and its main driver is the pharmaceutical industry. The general rhetoric of rushing drugs and devices through to needy patients willing to accept substantial risk rests on very thin evidence of benefit and unclear public support. Improving the quality of evidence is desperately needed as shown by the scores of examples of clinical trials that have been abandoned or distorted that have come to light in the last decade. Pandemic planning also requires some rethinking as the millions of pounds spent on a dubious pandemic with equally dubious fixes has shown. The close space of time of these “revolving doors” makes me wonder whether the government has objectively and properly overseen the decision making which has led to such important public positions being filled by senior industry figures. Can one walk away from leading industry, or rubbing shoulders with it, and perform an important public health function with impartiality? HM Government seems to think so, but if you are unsure (as I am) you may be given pause for thought. A career spent working in pharma usually means a commensurate share and farewell package. ….. Professor Van Tam’s track record as an ex-employee of Roche, Aventis Pasteur MSD and SmithKline Beecham (now GSK) has been excluded from the official DH press release, which is interesting, but hardly confidence building. He frequently attends events organised by the European Scientific Working Group on Influenza (ESWI), a well known industry-funded lobbying group. …. Van Tam has been a consistent supporter of pharmacological measures to address influenza and as head of the Pandemic Influenza Office at the UK Health Protection Agency in 2004-2007 bears responsibility for decisions which have been heavily criticised by the Public Accounts Committee. …. In my view it is time that the government and the public took a close look at what is going on in the upper echelons of healthcare planning and delivery in this country and considered imposing a substantial time moratorium on hiring workers with close ties to industry …. “
[See BMJ, December 6, 2017] – Look up the full prescient piece from one of those in the know.
Backed up by wancock who says it’s all on us. We are dealing with pure evil.
I was calm before I watched that press briefing. I found myself shouting swearwords at the television.
Matt ‘incredibly important’ Han-cockwomble really boils my piss.
Why the hell are they pushing this damn vaccine when most people have over 99% chance of recovery from Covid assuming it exists. Definitely something very sinister going on!
I hope they do move the goal posts again, because sooner or later the people will just say, enough is enough, many people I know who I tried to convince this is a scam have been messaging me this week saying, see nothing to worry about all be over in a few months. I hope they are right and that it was all just incompetence, but seeing as I have more than two brain cells, (well last time I had an MRI scan there was) I know this is only the beginning.
I think if they don’t think enough is enough after 12 months, then it’s never going to happen. Anyone who is not horrified by the idea of a few more months of this will just accept every extension. It’s not a big leap to ‘just another year’.
They really need to wind these things up now. Spewing forth the same self-important bilge multiple times a week, week after week after week… What is the effing point? It smacks of desperation to me, desperation to keep the whole sh*tshow going so Hancock et al can still prance and preen about the place pretending they’re saving the world, desperation to keep the sheep in line because it’s getting sunny and warm and they can feel it all starting to break down.
Van Tam’s comments don’t surprise me. Even the most ovine of the sheeple must surely have noticed how it works by now? The more that people comply, above all expectations (and how I’ve come to hate that word – compliant) the more measures and restrictions are shoved upon us. So it makes sense that when vaccine uptake turns out to be higher than expected, it’s now not high enough and we must jab ever more and more people before normal life can resume.
Sick to the back teeth of it all doesn’t even come close.
Just …. stay at home
Just …. anti-social distance
Just …. drown yourself in sanitiser
Just …. wear a pointless mask
Just …. take the experimental vaccine
Just …. OBEY!!!
“All Trump achieved in the Middle East was peace deals between Israel and all the moderate Arab powers.”
I know. What a tyrannical, warmongering bastard. No wonder the world was so afraid of him and his peace deals.
As Boris said recently, under Biden (just bought a $47 million new home and don’t ask where he got the money), it’s a change from the doom and gloom of the Trump presidency.
The Duke has just been whisked into hospital, as a precaution. This has happened before. So, do you really think they have given THE QUEEN an untested experimental drug that could possibly kill? Have they fudge.
Probably mentioned already on here today, but I saw a vile Tweet from Laurence Fox praising the Queen’s pathetic shilling for Big Pharma.
Yet another public figure supposedly on our side (Fox that is, not the Queen) who has been sucked into the Vaccine Macht Frei black hole.
Still, I am confident that anyone who has refused the vaccine will not be reversing their decision on the say so of the monarch. The harder they push, the worse the voluntary uptake will get.
Message to the Government: you’ll need to use extreme coercion and violence to get the uptake close to the desired 100%, and you know it.
Really? Well, there Reclaim goes, down the plug hole. Heritage seems to be the only political party left worth considering supporting.
I think we need to forget about political parties now. we’re so past that.
My 34 year old daughter has been pressed by her surgery to have the vaccine because she is “vulnerable” (she isn’t). When challenged the doctor said she couldn’t explain why her name was on the list, but thought it was a good idea to have the vaccine anyway!!!
Here’s the kicker: my daughter has been having IVF, which will be all over her notes.
Several questions arise, starting with “How did that person ever manage to qualify as a doctor?”
I never thought I’d live to be a witness to such crimes against humanity.
COVID DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
I’ve served my 12 months house arrest
For an unknown crime I can’t contest,
I want my freedom – not parole
With recompense for what they stole;
Lost time can never be bought back
From any megalomaniac
Who only sees in monochrome
With Covid De-range-ment Syndrome.
With shuttered houses on each street
The muzzled sheep who will not bleat,
As empty trains go belting past
How can this manmade panic last;
It will last ’till we wake from sleep
From out our bunkers we all creep,
To recognise that this Magettte
On which is based the Great Reset.
The Pope had his innoculation
Of baby parts – no reservation,
Perhaps ’till change his DNA
To talk some sense to Joe Bidet;
When everyone has a vaccine
Any side effects were ‘unforeseen’
Big Pharma all indemnified
It’s tough luck if your granny died.
Do not think ‘they’ will set you free
Dictators rule by their decree,
You will “Own nothing and be glad”
But not resist against Jihad;
The Green New Deal will set you free
You can exist up in a tree,
No going back to the life you knew
God deplatformed in the latestbCoup.
Bravo!
Great advice
Kelly’s list of ‘Conservative Pledges’ was a salutary reminder to me of the liberties we used to enjoy before 23rd March 2020 and indeed took for granted, given the sacrifices made in WWII to prevent the imposition of a totalitarian state from afar.
That was of course before the fat pig dictator flushed them down the toilet, not just once, but repeatedly and turned us into the Police State that we are now and may never come out of.
If you would like at any time to remind your MP, or anyone else for that matter,
”In WWII there were 384,000 soldiers killed in combat, but a higher civilian death toll (70,000, as opposed to 2,000 in WWI), largely due to German bombing raids during the Blitz: 40,000 civilians died in the seven-month period between September 1940 and May 1941, almost half of them in London”
And now, we have to wait on our Government’s approval to sit on a bench with another to have a cup of coffee.
Puts it into perspective. A lot of lives seemingly lost in vain.

The Fallen
I’m just like you Kate. It’s the anger that keeps me going. One of my fears during this last year has been that I will become less angry, which in my view would make me increasingly accepting of what’s going on. I won’t be “thankful” that I can now eat indoors but have to wear a mask when not at my table. I won’t be “thankful” that I’m now “allowed” to have 10 people inside my home. I won’t ever settle for anything less than true normal. And while I was more forgiving of people’s anxiety through the first months of this insanity, I have zero empathy left for these hysterics. My own mother told me she doesn’t think I’m handling this situation very well — yes, that’s right, because no human should be handling inhumane, dystopian existence very well. So, like you, I can appreciate others who are able to remain calm and still be empathetic to the zealots, but that’s just not me.
For me it comes down to the Serenity Prayer: ‘God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.’
Acceptance is not the same as agreement or complicity; for example we all have to accept death in its proper season, but not by murder or negligence.
I know you’re right. Perhaps it’s my need for control, but I just find it impossible to accept things I cannot change. Like Kate, I have no poker face and have always spoken out against injustice even when it’s been to my detriment. What has helped me is gratitude — I took lots for granted before and I know how fortunate I am. So I try to stay thankful for the people and things around me that have insulated me from the worst of the insanity. I have moments of peace and serenity, and that’s probably as good as it’s going to get for the time being. I truly admire those of you who are sceptical but better able to be more calm and accepting!
I think accepting what you cannot change is letting go of the need to control via the will. It doesn’t mean you don’t want things to change, or that you just put up with things, but you realise that some things can’t be forced. The Taoists have a word for this, it’s called wu-wei which means effortless striving, basically working with something rather than against it to change it. A classic example is water dripping on a rock, which gradually wears it away without force.
When Brenda said to think of others and take the jab, the “others” she meant were the 1%.
Damn right. We are dealing with a vicious enemy here who wants to destroy humanity, and which has recruited millions of our fellow citizens as infantry in this genocidal war. I do not give two shits about any of them.
Regurgitating the “it’s not to protect you, it’s to protect others” garbage they used for the masks was so predictable. We saw it coming a mile off. I didn’t work with me for masks, and it won’t work for the vaccine.
I knew from the beginning that masks were the gateway drug to the “vaccine.” So predictable; the “wear a mask to protect others” was inevitably going to be the rationale for talking people into taking the snake oil. My only surprise is how quickly it has happened.
Also to say ‘think of others not yourselves’ after a year of serfdom was twisted. Read the room Madge ffs.
They bring Brenda out when they are in trouble. It’s a good sign.
I never thought I’d do this, but today I’ve laid down a nice claret for when the old bitch dies.
A lovely sunny morning down at the allotment , followed by a stroll to the beach front and get a coffee from the little cafe barely hanging on by its fingernails- then I saw this new notice on their noticeboard:
MASK
EXEMPT
CUSTOMERS
ARE
WELCOME
HERE
The oldies round here love their masks , but today they were all barefaced in the queue
Maybe they just need permission? Whatever the reason it was good to see
More of those signs would probably go a long way to curing some folk of their mask fetish.
Congrats to you and the café.
That sign should be circulated more widely.
Good to see. I haven’t seen a sign like that since last summer – I saw a little shop in Norfolk that had something like ‘mask requirements are not enforced here.’ Sadly I expect they had to take that down.
Marvelous. Where is that?
I still cling to some hope that the majority of mask wearers are doing so simply because they are too timid to draw attention to themselves by not wearing one. It’s just easier than risking confrontation or embarrassment. But when given some kind of authority or reason to dispense with them, such as that cafe noticeboard, they will willingly do so. And then, when enough people in a crowd are seen to be maskless, it becomes easier for others to follow suit than to be in a minority: a bit like being the only fully clothed person in a nudist camp. Not sure that’s such a good comparison to make but it’ll have to do.
Went to the petrol station to fill up on fuel on the way home from work. Bumped into a friend on the forecourt and shared a laugh outside the door about my refusal to muzzle up. The cashier obviously clocked it and when I went inside to pay, he said “you don’t have a mask”. I said, “that’s right, I don’t wear them. They are a symbol of subservience, and it’s not normal behaviour to wear them”. He laughed. And so did I.
Good on you, but how many people understand a word like “subservience” in a routine conversation?
It doesn’t matter if they understand it. It just let’s them know you mean business
Propaganda involves a certain dumbing down and the other side of this is very good at raw emotion and panicking the herd by non-appeals to intelligence. The old saying about never going bankrupt by under-estimating the intelligence of the public applies. I would have used “submission” – more common and has overtones of sexual bondage.
That’s good, really good. So much better than mumbling ‘exempt’. Though even that is infinitely better than knickering your face.
You could have said I have one (mask), but I forgot! or I have one (mask), but it’s in the car! or …… ……..
Bravo!
Just been to the Ashford, Kent hospital with MIL who needs a hip operation.
The consultant said that three weeks ago they had 45 “covid patients” in the ICU. Today they have 8.
Jolly clever vaccine that. Starts working before you’re even jabbed!
Did he say what happened to the “Covid patients”? Discharged presumably cured, died or some other fate?
This covid-19 has really brought out the worst in the British. And I say that as someone who generally has a great deal of affection and admiration for us as a nation and people.
Let’s start with this. It’s brought out some of the worst aspects of British society. Not just the Jobsworths (who snap at you in the shops for not wearing a mask properly), or the Curtain Twitchers – who e-mail the police if they think their neighbours have too many visitors. It goes much deeper than that.
It probably starts with the godawful British tabloid press. Whose pandering and clickbait fear mongering has reduced their audience to quivering cretins. Right or left, Guardian or Telegraph, Daily Mail or Metro – there was precisely zero journalistic perspective and restraint. They seemed to be competing with one another to come up with the most obscure scariest covid stories to drive their readers into abject terror. Joseph Goebbels is looking up in envy.
Next up is the utter failure of the political establishment. Labour failed in its first responsibility, that of providing a responsible check on Government over-reach. And God help the Conservatives, whose ranks were populated by modest little people, with much to be modest about.
The Church? Don’t make me laugh. Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Phillip of Spain couldn’t stop the Church of England from holding Eucharist services. But I guess Jonathan Van Tam and Neil Ferguson could.
Speaking of which… British boffins have long history of giving disastrously bad projections to Government. B.H. Liddell-Hart, the otherwise well-respected military historian, confidently projected (in 1938) 600,000 civilian fatalities in the first five months of Luftwaffe bombing. This was at a time when no Luftwaffe plane could make a return sortie to Britain. So: Once again British Academia proved both their self-importance, and their incompetence, with stunningly ill-informed projections of doom.
Let’s not forget Britain’s toxic Unions. In this case the Teachers, who have forced our children and young adults to sacrifice a year’s education. (While collecting full pay for themselves, natch.) Or the fatal laziness of big chunk of Britain’s working class, who silently accepted Furlough pay on the ill-advised assumption that their jobs would still be there whenever they were allowed to go back to work.
We can’t forget the class hatreds and envies, that have pitted the middle-classes in their detached, gardened houses with the residents of tower blocks. The urbanites against the rural. (Who can forget the self-righteous fury of people protesting against city people who had come to walk in the fresh air of the pennines or the Peak District?)
No one comes out of this looking good.
A masterly summary.
I have never had an exalted view of the British so I have not been disappointed. Some other nations have been (a bit more) rebellious, others a bit more abject and cringing to authority. But the Brits have been pretty bad.
The most resistance to Covid BS seems to be in places like India. Not because of virtue but they have real diseases there and Covid does not register when you are at the margins of survival. Covid is very much like the meme a “First World Problem”.
I agree, ‘covid’ is a hypochondriacal, attention-seeking, skiving, pampered, doesn’t-know-they’re-born, self-cosseting tosspot’s wet dream – Lukashenko called it right: stop wallowing in self-pity in your ICU bed and get back out into the fields!
True, also the orient has a more fatalistic view of life unlike the west where we think we can control everything, even a tiny virus, because we have lost all sense of our own place in the universe.
You know what, though… it’s also brought out the bloody BEST. Charles Walker may be just one MP but he’s given heartfelt speeches that have moved me to tears. Mike Yeadon, Emma Kenny, Clare Craig, Ellen Townsend, John Lee, Jonathan Sumption have all relentlessly spoken up and continued to do so in the face of horrific abuse. The Us For Them people who have campaigned tirelessly for children. TalkRado, especially JHB, who have given platforms to those brave enough to speak out. Kirstie Brimelow and Adam Wagner who have given endless hours of their time (often for free) helping the public know and defend their rights. Vernon Coleman, who’s been in this fight for longer than some of us have been alive. The philosophers and psychologists and data analysts and economists who’ve written papers and crunched figures and stayed up through the night completing analysis and gathering evidence simply because they KNOW what’s happening is unfair. The friends who’ve “broken rules” and faced fines and arrests to make sure lived ones aren’t isolated and lonely. The mothers and fathers who’ve hounded the schools to protect their children’s rights. The RETIRED NHS staff who’ve spoken out. The CURRENT NHS staff who’ve risked their livelihoods by speaking out. The instagrammers who’ve lost followers and friends in their pursuit of the truth, the campaigners who’ve organised marches, the POLICE who’ve resigned and/or spoken out. And everyone on this site, all the ATL and BTL participants who’ve helped me hold on to my sanity and sometimes my will to live. I’ve never felt prouder of my country or more hopeful for the human race. I don’t know how much longer this goes on for but I know there’s a beautiful world to rejoin at the end and that we are a species worth fighting for. Thank you all!
I’ll drink to that… plus people that I never thought I’d agree with on any subject before. Examples include Peter Hitchens, Ross Clark and others at the Spectator, our very own Toby Young, Ivor Cummins and many, many others.
Power to us all……!
why wouldn’t you have agreed with Ivor Cummins? I’d never even heard of him before this shitshow, nor of Dr John Lee, Mike Yeadon, or Dr Vernon Coleman
I thought he was a novelty musical act until now.
His name makes him sound like a pornstar.
Good point, let’s try to stay positive. I’ve even started having a grudging admiration for Russell Brand, who previously I thought was a total nob!
Well said
It’s cool, CNC. My invoice is in the post …
Well, maybe….
But leaving aside a dozen or so exception (Lord Sumption, et al), isn’t it worth taking stock of what we’ve lost?
Since at least the Magna Carta, England has been a lodestar in the notion of personal liberty. That no matter however powerful the State, or the Sovereign, or the Government, that there were certain inalienable rights that could not be taken away or abridged.
That quaint, nine-hundred year old notion, is pretty much the cornerstone of any present-day ideal of life as a free citizen in a free society. It shaped the formation of the United States some five hundred years later. It shaped the idea of Liberty in Revolutionary France. It shaped the ideals of freedom in the former British colonies. And it became an ideal everywhere from Latin America to southwest Asia.
Turns out it’s all meaningless. Not worth a bucket of warm spit if a disease that’s slightly more lethal to 85 year olds than common influenza comes along.
I never kidded myself that “freedom” was unlimited. Never dreamt I could drive around, shooting a rifle out the window of my pickup truck while chugging single-malt whisky from a paper cup.
No. My notions of “freedom” extended to such radical ideas as buying shirts from a high-street shop. Having a pint of beer in a crowded pub. Having a spirited argument at a dinner party with a dozen or so slightly intoxicated people I didn’t know very well. Getting my hair cut in a barber shop.
I’d note: All of those things could be done at the height of Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. Probably in Pol Pot’s Kampuchea or Kim Il Sung’s Korea into the bargain.
It’s just in Boris Johnson’s Britain we can’t do those things.
So, you’ll excuse me before I start getting too excited about how well Britain has been handling things.
There are positives and they are well worth pointing out. Too many seem to wallow in negativity and despondency. They would call it reality but, bollocks to that. Hold on to the good, it`s the way forward.
The main revelation has been to show the utter crap of key UK myths about its democratic culture, unwritten ‘constitution’ (i.e non-existent) and wonderful monarchy. It also illustrated that the inherent ‘pluckiness’ of the British plebs could be blown to smithereens with a spoof scary tale.
Completely agree. I doubt my countrymen and my country as a whole will ever regain my respect.
The bovine stupidity and spitefulness of so many of my countrymen and women (some of whom were friends) has been one of the bitterest pills to swallow over the past year. Plus the fact that many people have unwittingly exposed their spectacular insensitivity to the plight of anyone less fortunate than themselves.
I started the day feeling irritated by the following letter in the Telegraph:
SIR – I cannot be the only person who has enjoyed lockdown. I have read so many books, baked, painted my Easter cards, gardened in the sunshine and enjoyed the cricket back on television.
Wendy May
Hereford
Mrs. F then produced a piece, also from the Telegraph, from a few weeks ago, in which Selina Scott was entertaining us with a summary of her lockdown weekends:
“I feel lucky to have a 200 acre farm in North Yorkshire that I can walk around without picking up Covid. … I’ll be sorry when lockdowns come to an end: I enjoy being able to do exactly what I want.”
And yet we dissenters are so often the people berated and vilified for being selfish. Ironically, it’s usually by those folk who are having such a jolly good time of it.
Nation of serfs, where the liberal middle classes have once again shown their true colours & contempt for the working class. The class divide is wider than ever & equality is a sham, producing nothing but a political minefield.
Had an enjoyable afternoon enjoying a ‘life of crime’. I went for a walk with a friend and her young granddaughter and sat on a bench drinking juice. Lots of folk around, no swerving and only saw 2 masks, both on young people. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and acting normally in the sunshine.
Bristol guy speaking the truth to zombies.

That was excellent. I enjoyed his closing quote:
“There is such a thing as natural selection, not all of us are going to fucking make it to the end of this. But I have a real sneaky feeling that they’ve got plans for you guys with the masks first. You guys are going to go before we do, because you’re controlled, and we’re not.“
Yes. These masked ones are the idiots who will volunteer for further medical experiments, far worse than the magic ‘vaccine’. I would not be at all surprised if we see a lot more dodgy medical experimentation on human subjects now that ethical approval is so much easier.
How long before the vaccinated start physically attacking the unvaccinated? I give it three months tops. It will start in earnest when the government does not lift restrictions and blames the unvaccinated. Vaccine vigilantism will cost lives, and will be actively encouraged by the politicians, the media and the police.
How will they tell that you’re not vaccinated, will it be that we don’t have that bar code on our forehead.
Good Question.
We can all relax a bit..phew.
Just remind them that you are asymptomatic and that you will infect them with your non existent infectiousness.
Possibly, although some on here said that would happen with masked v unmasked, and there have only been a few isolated incidents so far.
I can’t wait!!!
Physically attacking? Never. To a zombie, human contact means InstantDeath, remember,
Just cough at them and watch them run away screaming.
If that doesn`t work, I have a machete.
They’ll have to do it at a distance surely – because the unvaxxed are sooooo dangerous.
Unless the vaccinated are weakened by the vaccine, in which case they won’t use violence. They’ll use sarcasm.
They know all the tricks: dramatic irony, metaphor, pathos, puns, parody, litotes and… satire. They’re vicious.

Pfizer total equity: 65,000,000,000. I wonder what it will be next year?
I think I heard Van the Man saying on the News even those who have been inoculated (and he does be doing it seemingly) are still to wear their masks.
What does this mean?
He doesn’t think it really works?
Or it works but those who are jabbed still have the potential, to be silent, scentless, sickness unwitting killers – not safe to move amongst humanity until the whole of humanity has been jabbed?
He can’t stop controlling, they need real scientists who are more interested in the actual science than the control methods they can inflict
They can’t lift mask rules until they have a vaccine passport and a means of checking it quickly and easily at all places where masks are enforced. If ‘track ‘n’ trace’ is anything to go by, that will never happen, so it will be masks until doomsday. Otherwise they risk maskless people going in to supermarkets and saying ‘had the jab mate’ to the security guard.
More likely he thinks that if some people stop wearing their masks, everyone will, and control will be lost. Anyone can claim that they’ve had the jab, after all.
Anyone can claim to be mask exempt too.
Sadly, too few do.

Excellent ! Thanks Mic.
We seem to be in strange good news – bad news times, most of the data figures are plummeting but it is as if the powers that be cannot or do not want to believe it. They seem terrified that we might all give up and start to enjoy ourselves, by all accounts, ‘too late for that now’!
They are peddling some data about ‘cases’ (dodgy +ve test results) going up in some areas. But if you look at the NHS/Gov dashboard they have by some means ramped up the testing to nearly 3/4 million tests per day, how is that possible? all the school, care home and hospital tests I guess? But from all those tests they are only managing 1.16% +ve test results, which given poor sampling and false positives must be close to statistically insignificant.
Meanwhile we seem to have vaccinated 36% of the adult population and yet they still seem anxious that the vaccination effort might stall?
So with this data and tonights strange yes/no briefing hard to know what on earth is going on?
If you’re expecting this to change before they have the vaccine passports in then you’ll be disappointed. Even then lockdowns are here to stay. You think come winter we’ll have any kind of normal baseline for something like flu? Not a chance. Even now with so many control groups to show lockdowns are insignificant and Fergusons models are junk, they still say Lockdowns are our saviour and Ferguson, well, he’s going to be knighted.
Control Freakery is addictive
Until the money runs out and/or a riot starts.
The persistent refusal to acknowledge good news (from their perspective) by this government only leads me to suspect more that this is all a cover for something; at the least, a stitch-up with Big Pharma, at most a full-on coup/global economic reset. I get the impression however that whatever it is, it is not going quite to plan.
The most charitable explanation is that they don’t want people getting complacent and ignoring all the stupid rules. However I incline more to your suggestions.
Is some of that ramping up due to ‘surge testing’? Just a thought.
It grows ever more bizarre, if they keep it up then even the sheeple will start to get suspicious surely? Cases and deaths are “plummeting”, as they would say, but it’s still all bad news, everything’s still “unbelievably” high, they are only just starting to acknowledge after nearly 2 months of falling numbers that things might be “plateauing” or even “falling slightly”. I didn’t think things could get even more incomprehensible than they were last spring/summer, but they have. Something is most definitely afoot…
One possibility is that there’s a toxic feedback loop between HMG and SAGE. SAGE says ‘you’ve got to do something, millions will die!’ so HMG locks down and ruins the economy. Millions don’t die, so HMG says to SAGE ‘You’d better come up with those millions of corpses, or you’ll all end up dead on a hillwalking expedition, or working for DVLA Swansea.’ SAGE then panics and ‘models’ more deaths, which sends HMG into another wealth-wrecking frenzy and so on.

Are government scientists as good as Real scientists, government jobs are often where you go when you can’t get a real job in private industry, as we see from the politicians
They might be good but are they moral? I think the issue is character, not intelligence or talent.
What do you mean by ‘government scientists’? If such as Whitty and Vallance – they aren’t operating as ‘scientists’ but functionaries. They left science behind a while back.
Others in the SAGE rag-bag, again, aren’t working primarily as ‘scientists’ but are appointed to the advisory role by government and are engaged in climbing the greasy pole.
I worked in government science and can vouch that there were some really good people there – disastrously led.
Having worked in both private and government science, I don’t buy at all the private-good/public-bad scenario.
One thing private can’t be beaten on is visceral dishonesty.

There must be a support website somewhere for Tourette’s syndrome. Go find it, darlin’.
True Science is the study of nature to increase knowledge & learn objective truth about the world we live in & rely on to sustain our species!
Applied science is subjective emotive application of gained knowledge to advance our interests to improve our lives & lifestyles.
Whilst I have great respect for the former, the latter sometimes raises concerns. But what we are experiencing from government is neither true or applied science. We are being fraudulently mislead by corporate scientism the only function of which is profit & power for a select few.
Science is of great importance to our lives, but our way of life mustn’t be dictated too by scientists or science. Democracy can not be allowed to be directed by technocrats!
I’ve always thought the Queen was a prick.

I’ve done a FOI to Matt Hancock asking how many people are being imprisoned in hotels, how many are testing positive during their stay and what’s the budget for the policy.
As people can only fly with a negative test then presumably the only place they can catch covid is off a camp guard or a hotel worker.
If no one is testing positve what’s the point? If a significant number test positive then where is the sense in imprisoning people with the same recirculating air in a hotel never designed for quarantining an infectious disease.
I’m not hopeful of a reply this century but let’s see. In fact the information should be easily and swiftly available but it might just be embarrassing.
There is no point. There is no sense in it. The End.

Train journey today, for legitimate reasons which I needn’t mention here. I also won’t mention the stations involved as that information might be useful to the enemy. For face covering I do my “loose scarf thing” at sensitive locations where I might be observed, but otherwise let it slip. On the outward journey, two BTP officers were at the station, not doing anything in particular, so they could easily have asked me why I was travelling, but they didn’t. On the return journey I had a takeaway coffee and bun to keep me going for a time. Later, the combination of the train motion, heat from the sun on the window, and myself perhaps looking too closely at the countryside whizzing past, caused me to feel slightly faint – nothing serious, but there was absolutely no way I could have “covered my mouth and nose” (an announcement which always gives me the creeps) without feeling a lot worse. So I completed the rest of the journey and walked out of the station with the scarf completely down. A female police officer was at the station but paid me no attention. If the police are looking out for anything at all, it may be groups of people obviously out for a pleasure trip.
Trains seemed slightly busier than on my journeys in November and December, but still not at all busy. The guy sitting at the others side of the carriage from me had a mask hanging off one ear and had food and drink to hand. I would suggest to anyone who wants to travel by train but doesn’t want to fully claim exemption, you can claim to be feeling faint, which was genuine in my case.
If you don’t want to fully claim exemption, one of those snood/biker scarf things, which can be bought for about £3 on Ebay, are excellent. They look like an ordinary scarf/cravat in all sorts of patterns such as paisley, tartan etc, but can easily be stretched up over the mouth and nose for compliance reasons and then pulled down again immediately. ‘Up and down like a bride’s nightie’ as they used to say.
Doing one of my regular illegal journeys between the Capital and the Home counties today, I noticed that all the park benches on a Village Green next to a busy A road were packed with picknicking groups of people.
Also no pretense of SD outside of a packed coffee shop in LibDem SWL and a large majority of pedestrians now unmasked.
For the first time, I had the joyous feeling that people have had enough and are also not afraid anymore of showing it.
It was basically a joint public show of the middle finger today by the Great British public to Johnson, Hancock, SAGE&co.
That’s great

Read my lips fascists: I will not disclose my medical details to exercise my civil liberties.
Love that gal
So now the vaccinated are being told off for bending the rules, and the refuseniks are being called selfish. It’s quite obvious that the naughty British people need to be punished more to make them obey the all. Government needs to lock us all up. Err, hang on a moment ……
Mark my words – it will be ‘deplorables’ next!
At least both groups are being told off – makes a change! This government can definitely piss off all of the people all of the time it seems.
Tony Blair calls for vaccine passports: Ex-PM says scheme would make public ‘feel safe’ to return to normal life – and suggests anti-vaxxers are not ‘very sensible’We’ve experienced Bliars efforts to make people feel safe before, it murdered over a million Iraqis, destroyed the Middle East & generated a terrorism pandemic, with authoritarian surveillance laws imposed on our privacy forever.
JUST SAY NO!
The public don’t feel safe to return to normal life because the govt keep telling them how DANGEROUS it is to return to normal life, you utter dickhead Blair.
A good rule to live by is whatever TB says, do the opposite,
But isn’t it the case that virtually anything TB says instantly becomes utterly discredited precisely by virtue of its association with him? We should be thrilled that he is championing vaccine passports. It’ll work like 1950s aversion therapy. Think vaccine passport: think Tony Blair: shudder with revulsion. It’s all good.
Totally agree
So apparently JVT was bleating about a concerning rise in cases at the press conference earlier – WTF?!
Not that it matters – whatever we do, however long we do it for, no matter how low their ridiculous case count goes – it will never be enough, will it?
It was never about the virus, it was always about control, destabilising the economy and pitting rule followers against free thinkers.
Demons just cannot help themselves, the whole world is not enough.
JVT said it was a “myth” that the vaccines aren’t safe for pregnant women, even while the pharmaceutical companies recommend against pregnant women having it.
He should resign for having endangered the health of unborn children and pregnant women. Outrageous!
Resign? He should be imprisoned.
Van Tampax is like one of those sandwich board men one used to see back when this was a Christian country. For him the End is always Nigh.

They’re so easy to spot – they start with their childish racist shit then try to stir up some kind of division like the Remoaner crap and now, interestingly as we are probably moving towards the Reset removal of the Royals (if that hasn’t already happened), they start with the ‘We’d be better off without a Queen.’ What a strange job that must be and I’d just love one of them to do a kind of truce whistle-blower post telling us what shit is actually going down but of course that’s above their pay grade and they probably don’t have a clue what’s going on and haven’t been privy to the meeting about the cliff edge we’re all heading towards.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/02/how_many_people_would_still_be_alive_today_without_media_covid_malpractice.html
“How many people would still be alive today without media COVID malpractice?
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the COVID-19 lockdowns, it’s that the mainstream media duped us time and again. Not surprisingly, trust in the Fourth Estate is at an all-time low.
For nearly a year, the media manically obsessed over cases, cases, cases — instead of highlighting more meaningful metrics, like hospitalization rates and the devastating consequences of lockdowns.
Incessantly, we were told to mask up and stay six feet apart. All the while, healthy people of all ages were urged to quarantine.
We now know that asymptomatic spread is still being weaponized to justify draconian lockdowns — even as a recent research study of nearly 10 million people in China reveals “not a single transmission of Coronavirus from a person without symptoms.” This is big news. And yet, not a peep from the mainstream media.
And while social distancing might have helped to the stop the spread of COVID-19, it also led to dire repercussions among America’s youths. In some areas of the country, suicide rates among kids aged 12 to 17 soared nearly 70 percent, according to the CDC. Again, the media downplayed the fallout from isolation and lockdowns — and still does.
After a year of lockdowns, millions of children — many seemingly used as pawns by teacher unions — are still being forced to learn via Zoom, even as they are at low risk of transmitting COVID-19.
And let’s not forget how the media maligned the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as an early treatment for COVID-19 after President Trump revealed he was taking it prophylactically. Last spring, Fox News’s Neil Cavuto ripped HCQ, even though the anti-malarial drug has been used effectively for seven decades by hundreds of millions of people worldwide since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved it in 1955.
“If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus, or in a worst-case scenario, you are dealing with the virus and you are in this vulnerable population, it will kill you,” Cavuto warned of HCQ. “I cannot stress enough. This will kill you.”
And now, with some 500,000 Americans dead — from or with COVID-19 — I wonder: how many lives could have been spared if members of the mainstream press were more committed to reporting the truth?”
So bloody infectious that only 10 pct chance of getting it if someone in your household has it:

I doubt it. They love their slavery too much. But a few of the “going along to get along” crowd must be beginning to notice that something is horribly wrong now.
Yup. Even they can read, surely? Some of it must drip feed in and make `em go “summats not right here”. A year late, admittedly.
Henning Streeck, the German virologist who conducted a study in Heinsberg, came to this conclusion in March/April last year. Widely publicised and accepted. Just no-one acted on it.
To be fair, the masks taste better than their burgers.

Apparently there is now the Austrian Fucking strain named after the Austrian village it was first reported in. Though the village is now called Fugging, scientists decided to name the strain after the villages former name Fucking which has only recently been changed.
I believe that the Austrian village of ‘Fucking’ was twinned with the Norwegian village ‘Hell’.

Message from HRH QE2:
One whom, by virtue of birth, has benefited from the best education and the ultimate privilege of extreme wealth would like to address Ones’s peasant class. Now look here plebs, if you refuse this (not fully tested) vaccine you are horribly selfish.
I have, from the moment I was pushed from my mother’s vagina been protected from poverty; scrutiny regarding my offspring’s sexual shenanigans, divulging my true wealth and am privy to and have influence regarding the laws pertaining to my estate.
This is irrelevant as I am superior to you in every way and although this has not (in recent years) been constitutional I now am happy to disregard convention.
So, even though I am 94 and unlikely to live long enough to suffer from any long-term problems with the (not tested sufficiently) vaccine I will be guilting you into having it regardless that you are young, pregnant or immune from the virus.
You may sit, my subjects.
We had the vaxx invitation about a week ago. They are rolling it out to over 60s next week.
Surgery called today to “invite” me to make an appointment. I told them “ No thanks, I don’t need it” They then asked if I had read the information booklet and perhaps they could “help” with any questions I might have.
I told them I had read it and the leaflet makes it quite clear that I am not at increased risk of Covid-19 and that I SHOULD have the vaccine IF:
:I am an adult working in a care home
:I am a frontline health worker
:I am a frontline social care worker
:I am a domicilliary care worker for older adults
:I am aged 65 years and over
:I am a younger adult with long-term clinical conditions
I told her none of the above applied to me and I have none of the conditions listed in their leaflet that would put me in the Vulnerable Group.
Ergo according to their own information, I have no need of it. I asked her please to take me off the list.
Her reply was sublime – “I didn’t think anyone bothered to read those booklets! No worries, I’ll mark you as a NO then. Have a lovely weekend”
Play them at their own game…. I have plenty more “facts” from their own booklet if they do call back…….
When they get to me I will not be anywhere near as polite as you and many others on here have been.
yes, I often think that, but then I think we should be mindful that they can section us under the Mental Health Act, thus removing the need to obtain our consent to medical treatment. so regretfully, I’m probably just going to play dumb. I like the idea of just not turning up to multiple appointments, thus forcing them to bin their shit.
Good point, incarceration of dissidents in psychiatric institutions is one of many weapons that have yet to be unleashed.
As long as they put me in with other objectors to the vaccine, it might be the last bastion of sanity in this world.
When, back in March last year, they made it much easier to section people:
1) I wondered why; and
2) I wondered why nobody else seemed to be wondering why.
That, along with the rules changes to allow them to exaggerate covid deaths, was enough to tell me that this is an evil scam.
Yes isn’t it strange that no one even commented on any media platform as all these sinister changes were made? ( Eg no autopsy required following hospital deaths and cremation to be enforced if circumstances required it).
uk column did
I raised this point , also we are all organ donors now !!!…
You can opt out.
In Stalinist Gulag Wales, where years ago they assumed the right to help themselves to bits of your body for years, I opted out years ago.
Non habeas corpus meum.
My thoughts too – Informed Opposition followed by dumb insolence
The health act only ‘legally’ allows unconsenting treatment for the mental health issue you’ve been sectioned for not any other unrelated issues, in theory they can’t force you to be vaccinated even if you believe Elvis lives on the moon with princess Di.
Are you telling me he doesn’t???
In a World War 2 bomber or a London bus.
A younger adult with long term clinical conditions…vague much?
I am waiting for traditional vaccine which has been given full license , no need interest to have any concoction with just emergency use approval.
My response will be completely rational, saying that I’ve conducted a personal risk assessment and concluded that the risks arising from me not being vaccinated are small, while the risks from being vaccinated are unknown until medium- and long-term effects have been properly assessed. Therefore the logical response is not to be vaccinated.
hopefully some enterprising journalist will contact Tim Martin for a comment
Just seen online …
Come on, all you healthy people, do feel free to waste money the country doesn’t have on being tested for something you don’t have.
Essential workers across Herefordshire, who cannot work from home, are being urged to join an initiative to help drive down the number of COVID-19 cases by doing twice-weekly rapid tests (known as Lateral Flow Tests). Four council test centres for people without COVID-19 symptoms are now open for bookings in Herefordshire … critical businesses and essential workers who need to attend a workplace, are invited to use the testing facilities.
… tests for people without symptoms will also start to become available at selected community pharmacies across Herefordshire.
https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/news/article/1108/rapid-covid-19-testing-for-essential-workers-in-herefordshire
How the fuck do you ‘drive down cases’ by getting tested???
It was a typo. They meant to say “drive up cases“.
As Hitchens likes to say, the virus that’s afraid of being tested for
Haven’t they had the vaccine? How effin far down the rabbit hole we going now
If they’ve had the vaccine they could test positive.
It’s because, apparently, having no symptoms of Covid is a symptom of having Covid.
You’re supposed to act like you have it, according to the propaganda. Screw that.
Not the dreaded Long Asymptomatic Covid surely

I understand that Twat Hancock did a TV presser today with his monkeys. I couldn’t face watching it but, no doubt, you will be covering it tomorrow.

Please please, do NOT feature a presser photo of Du Twat Hancock or Maj on tomorrow’s editorial – I can’t face it. Thanks in advance.

The most frightening word that this shitshow brings to mind is:
Precedent.
Depends. It’s actually quite nice when you hear it said by that judge in Wales who ruled the police can’t do anything if they book you for breaking lockdown and you don’t give your name and address.
So you lie to the other nations’ forces by giving an address in Wales and they realise they can’t touch cetaceans and leave you alone?
They can’t delphin to your background if they have no porpoise.
Isn’t it strange out of all the variants of Rona all over the world, at different times of the year, the only one that caused a massive spike in deaths was the UK one in the same week that mass vaccination was rolled out. All other strains haven’t moved the needle at all, anywhere, ever.
Naughty naughty, Tom!
I don’t believe in coincidences, 911, Iraqi WMD, increased terrorism legislation, rise of Wi-Fi connected devices, global uptake of smartphones, demolition of individual privacy, destruction of the Middle East, ideological support for immigration, sudden growth in anti-racism & deviant sexual promotion (when prejudice was in decline), contrived deconstruction of sexual dimorphism, rise in civil unrest, Covid-19, vaccine passports, reduction of cash (machine) use, digital biometric ID, removal of human rights, well orchestrated & carefully controlled “riots”, timely interventions of social media giants, climate change! All intrinsically linked….
To politics, a natural progression? Or A more sinister conspiracy to enrich the lives of select elite few? Maybe both are inseparable! But I don’t believe in coincidences. People abuse critical minds with social stigma & ridicule asserting independent thought are signs of mental illness, whilst the head of a global protection racket, perhaps certainly once is one of the richest people on the planet, tells us we are selfish if we don’t sacrifice our health for her safety. Whatever.
Absolutely- it’s the long con and we’ve all got sucked into it. They think they’ve got this but maybe the tide is turning- maybe like with all bullies we could start by just ignoring them completely

Well not many mainstream journos are brave enough to criticise the Dark Lord Schwab’s malevolent outfit. So yes she definitely gets a tick for that.
I’m going to brake from sceptic conformity here & assert I care about how we treat our planet, diminishing biodiversity is both a huge ethical & practical problem. Population size & our self-indulgent lifestyles is increasingly becoming a bigger problem.
Natural global warming & climate change are facts of life, that have been picked up & embellished by insincere alarmist to advance a political agenda. Brewers attitudes to both science & the environment has always been typically conservative a.k.a. dodgy!
But i don’t support or advocate the way elite neo-liberals are addressing these issues, I don’t know how we address these problems without causing harm to the lifestyles we’ve become accustom to but if we don’t there will be consequences & people like us will be the hardest hit.
I am pretty much with you on that. I certainly support green energy development as a path to a better world. There have been problems with the technology, as there are with all new technologies (they couldn’t get the first transatlantic electric telegraph to work, try as they might and eventually caused the whole thing to self-implode, early automobiles were unreliable, home computers used to take ages to load the code…you could write three letters in the time you were waiting!). But looked at objectively the price reductions in green energy have been astonishing so that both technologies are now real contenders for energy supply. The only thing holding wind and solar back are energy storage, but that problem is being solved incrementally and through the price mechanism (new green energy is now so cheap they can afford to invest in storage technology development).
WEF cynically use important issues like energy generation, biodiversity, air quality and so on to harness the “Attenborough Effect”, especially among the young.
With green energy, high recycling rates, 3D printing and robot technology, you can see a wholly new sort of economy developing compared to the late 20th century. But that has nothing to do with “You won’t own anything, but you’ll be happy.” – let us continually remind ourselves of WEF’s notorious “cure” for society’s ills.
‘new green energy is now so cheap they can afford to invest in storage technology development’. Crikey! Lets keep this site focused on coronavirus please.
Technocratic bullshit!
You’re right. Population growth is infinitely the biggest threat to the survival of mankind on this planet, not to mention that of other species which also have a right to exist.
But I’m sure we agree that universal enslavement won’t solve the population problem, or any other.
Back in the 60s, we were all worried about population growth – how were we going to feed everybody?
It was said then, and I’ll repeat it: EDUCATE THE WOMEN.
That’s right, so we clear felled forests, ploughed the land, planted GMO nutrient free grains, drenched them with glyphosate, fortifying processed junk food with synthetic vitamins, added sugar & served it up to morbidly obese slobs to produce another layer of human lard. What could go wrong? An unsustainable growth in population!
Who did this?? Who asked for this?? We’ve been lied to – stop believing it!
Stop it, denial is a unhealthy state of mind, look out the window the damage is evident.
It really isn’t- we’ve been fed these lies for decades – they’re not true! We’ve been made to feel we’re responsible for everything while being poisoned both mentally and physically by the insane people trying to take over this world and we have to stop believing it – Wake up people!!!
Are you in with the WEF programme of zero carbon? You do know it’s all nonsense don’t you? Most of the climate change agenda in recent years has been leading up to this control and to get us all to be terrified of living. If we’re talking environmental disasters, the biggest one currently is the issue of masks so yet another government engendered problem that they’ll pretend to have the solution to. The saddest part for me is that they got David Attenborough to fall for it. Tragic!
Your ignorance doesn’t help your argument. Yes there are nefarious interests obfuscating the truth. But the objective truth, science, ecology, population overshoot, destruction of nature & denial of natural process are sadly all to real. Our planet is our only home & we’ve been disrespecting it! The damage is all to evident. If I come into your house & knock a glass of red wine over on your white rug, what happens, how do you feel afterwards?
I follow no corporate interest or NGO, i’ve a lifetime of experience of the harm done to the natural world witnessed with my own eyes as an avid naturalist.
Keep safe don’t eat their shite
Something doesn’t add up.
Pfizer claim their vaccine is 85% effective after a first shot.
Nearly 20 million have now received their vaccine. or AZ’s.
So why is the R rate not continuing to decline? Why according to the lamentable JVT are Covid infections going up in two health authority areas?
Also, if the vaccine is 85% effective, why didn’t we see a huge decline in hospitalisations and death by the second week of January since the vulnerable population of around 2 million – who supply about 90% of deaths – had all been vaccinated by then, given that the average time from symptoms presentation to death is only 7 days.
“R-rate” is a fiction! It can be what ever they want it to be.
Is there a good primer video out there on ‘R-rate as non-science’ I wonder?
Well the current calculation is “between 0.6 and 0.9”. Anything that can be either x or x plus 50% is hardly an exact science…assuming the figures have any meaning in the first place.
‘the R-sshole rate’ someone on here referred to it the other day
like it
well AZ dose is only really effective if you do half a dose first time-that seems to have been forgotten
One reason cases are going up is because they have really ramped up testing, it seems to have increased by about 50% and they claim they are now doing 3/4 million tests per day! They are currently getting around 1.2% +ve results results and so if you ramp up testing you will get more ‘cases’ (dodgy +ve test results).
But they could give out any figures at all – and how would WE know if they were genuine? Your word ”claim” there is the important one.
While the TV reporters always say “R drives the infection”, that seems the wrong way round to me, and shows how for epidemiologists “maths rules” over common sense. For me, it’s not the R rate which drives the infection, it’s the viral infection that drives the R rate. If the R rate suddenly hits the brick wall of herd immunity or a 100% effective vaccine it’s not going to “drive” anything. It’s going to go into steep and sudden decline. It’s how the virus operates out in the open that is important. Environmental conditions are key. Seasonality and the number of people who have no cross immunity are crucial issues.
In theory a lockdown could slow down virus spread but people rarely talk about the fact our supposed “lockdown” is like a leaky sieve. We have 11 million workers travelling into work and frequenting the same supermarkets, newsagents, offlicences and petrol stations as those in lockdown. The 11 million workers live in households with perhaps another 22 million people. So we actually have 33 million or thereabouts who are effectively not in lockdown. That’s like the whole population of Poland. If the government wanted to have a real lockdown, it would be totally intolerable – there would be mass panic and societal breakdown. So the government prefers to give the appearance of a strict lockdown when it is nothing of the sort.
Lockdowns sometimes (not always) “appear” to work but this is magical thinking. What tends to happen is that the infection rate and deaths go up, the government panics and introduces lockdown. Rarely does lockdown have a swift effect on the cases, hospitalisations and deaths as it should in theory. But eventually the rates go down. This is then attributed to lockdown (before vaccines took a share of the credit). But of course no virus can maintain peak performance indefinitely on some incredibly high plateau – that’s not how viral infections go! Eventually the numbers have to decline. When they do, the decline is attributed to lockdowns It’s just magical thinking.
Our MSM folk are either very thick or very duplicitous, or very scared about losing their jobs – possibly all three because they never address these crucial issues.
Where are they doing these tests ? Our two full size testing stations remain growing tumbleweed and there is no activity in either of the others dedicated to NHS staff and patients.
They’ve got a captive population in hospitals that they keep testing over and over.
Because the vaccines make people test positive for some reason?
Because the vaccine makes people ill?
They still die as the vaccine kills?
But of course officially they all test positive for covid so enter the c statistic, not the yellow card scheme, because we cannot have that!
Yes, by reducing things like cashiers & insisting instead, that people smear their hands over massive touch screens instead. irony indeed!
Been a long week but overall I am (maybe foolishly) happy with general direction. The great road map has been largely dismissed as bollocks, masks and tests in schools been pushed back, bond markets have said enough Is enough, weather has turned – at pick up from school today parents all talking and kids running around happily – as if nothing had changed – that’s the dam breach that they can’t do anything about – when its nice weather people just talk and hang out – I amused myself at the e-Mail that had been sent out just before hand worrying about this highly dangerous activity !! Also talking to one of the parents and she took her mask off and said I hate these things – I said don’t wear one then – it’s just guidelines and you can exempt yourself – pointed to my “smiles matter badge” – she was yes they do ! In we went and no mask – then another mum was no mask – nice ! Anyway small victory but there’s a lot more resistance out there it just needs to be encouraged. Anyway – two things – I know it’s not easy but any readers nervous about ditching the masks – please have the courage – it will really encourage the others and also go to Smiles Matter and and buy a badge or two – trust me you will feel proud to put it on and the more of us buy them the easier it will be to recognise each other. On the vaccines – I am still nervous but I think it will stall and combined with general bollocks will be unenforceable and economic reality will lock on pretty quickly – see airlines already waiving masks for business class passengers
Yep. It’s over.
Someone needs to tell the government.
You only have to look at the change in tone of, for example, the comments of DM readers on articles of late (including the Queens intervention ) to know that the government have lost the people. The party is over.
But sheepleheim still rules at the Independent, Grauniad, etc.
Never mind. The bleating will soon be drowbed out by the cries for liberty, or so let’s hope.
Yes, let’s hope so. It’s not just DM readers though, since the roadmap event, even non sceptics that I know have told me that enough is enough. Especially those who have had the jab, they feel totally conned.
Gurniad circulation 111,000 give or take; (and most of those are at the BBC
)
Daily Fail circulation: 1.1 million, give or take.
A ratio of 11:1 – should drown out the bleating with a bit of luck and a following wind.
I think Boris road map, is his Berlin Wall moment.They mistakenly announced that the border was open.By the time they realised what was happening it was too late.
By attempting to continue dragging out the emergency he has promised too much.No one took any notice of the caveats and conditions on freedom.People are planning holidays,festivals,social occasions;It will be hard to put the genie back in the bottle now.
Yeah, suddenly I’m being bombarded with e-mail ads for holidays.
Maybe the senders are just desperate, or maybe, just maybe, they think holidays will happen.
by chance Deutschland 89 starts tonight on Channel 4.But yes, you’re right it does feel like the Berlin Wall moment.
Starts next week.
The Smiles Matter badges are great aren’t they. I feel proud wearing mine!

David Perks, principal at East London Science School, accuses ministers of “pandering to the unions” by changing the guidance
Science school as well. Beautiful.
Meanwhile in the Guardian, they were bemoaning today that the guidance to torture children wasn’t made mandatory and law….
Three cheers for the gallant headmaster.
If it’s just guidance, any head is free to disregard it.
Van Tamm is becoming a heroic liar, outshining even Whitty and Vallance.
I’ve heard him previously explain that coronavirus infections decline substantially in summer because people have fresh air in their houses and are out and about more in the fresh air.
He now says that a Covid decline in infectivity in summer 2021 will be due to the vaccine programme.
Pinnochio!
Would this be the same vaccine programme that he appears to have something less than full confidence in, as he has said more than once, those vaccinated will still need to wear masks and maintain social distancing rules, for basically an unspecified period of time?!
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!
more of a contortionist than a liar
He is a well established Liar but he is also proving himself to be seriously deranged . These wancoks are providing a huge file of evidence week in week out for the inevitable trials.
Has his snout got longer lately?
Well he obviously he must have had it surgically removed before taking up his televisual duties.
Infections decline because people are out in the fresh air… so the best way to reduce the spread is to make it largely illegal to leave your house?
Has he listened to himself?
Anyway I thought it wasn’t seasonal, otherwise how have we ended up with 4000 deaths per day predicted for July?
NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE!!!
I don’t think they are even trying to make sense – just saying anything to try and keep their shit-show on the road.
They’ve lied and contradicted themselves so many times I suspect they no longer actually know what they have said, what is real and what is propaganda.
That was one of the supposed reasons for introducing Tiers. As winter approached people would spend more times indoors and thus be more likely to become infected.
Contradictory I know but it’s what was said.

It’s not really news is it.
Something very timely with the Queen’s intervention. Why now after all this time? I see some very strange things afoot. Remember, it is acknowledged that Charles will not take the throne. William to step up.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3241679/Prince-Charles-increasingly-takes-duties-Queen-Prince-William-duty.html
I read a story last year Charles was to taking a leading role in the Great Reset instead. And we know he’s put himself front and centre. The transition then was predicated as April. Is he the one to announce that the transition is taking place?
My mum made me watch Charlie on TV getting invested as Prince of Wales, I’ve known he was a wrong’un ever since.
It’s really weird that she chose now to intervene politically, maybe she’s sabotaging the throne in anger, Charles and his Reset is trashing this country
Add in the Epstein clouds swirling and its very stormy. Gilaine Maxwell had stated there were tapes on Clinton and Trump.
All seems unstable.
Yes Epstein and they might be hanging on to Philip for a reason
Anger? ..that’s an emotion isn’t it?
Deep fake.
Her Maj. has been subject to the same manipulation as the rest of the population so is now easy meat for Johnson’s gaslighting and manipulation. He probably had very little trouble talking her into it.
Been trying to bring my blood pressure down watching Cruising the Cut on you tube and I’m now thinking of buying a narrow boat (cash) and living off the grid!!
I didn’t realise you were welsh.
The accent gives it away
Someone made a comment elsewhere today that her Mum had said “Charlie” wasn’t the same person any more, there was a lookalike in there so I had a look at a recent picture and one 10 years ago: she may have had a point? Anyone else seen this?
Yea – I saw that too
Oops. I think the penny is finally dropping that they’ve been conned.

Boston study finds on 10% transmission between family members living together.
The commenters are not impressed with our government and scientists.
Calls for Nuremberg trial from the daily fail faithful. This is a desperate government , prepare for a weekend of furious lies.
Since Spring last year I have only come across one person (a stranger in passing) with a bad cough. I imagine it is similar for most people. We know that asymptomatic transmission is a core fabrication. My ever-reliable subconscious has been telling me that this virus was actually spread almost exclusively in hospitals and care homes, way more than the figures that have been admitted to previously. Governments and corrupt psuedo-scientists need to pay for this with life-emprisonment.
Here ya go
Its just dawned on me how united this forum is. We are – Irish (North & south),Scottish,Welsh,English and beyond. No matter what our culture and patriotism, we have came together here because we know the reality and harsh destruction of the current situation we are living our lives in.
We will remain united.
Yes – and on many other subjects we tend to have a wide range of views too.
For me, all those other issues are secondary right now.
I don’t care what party you vote for, what you think of Brexit or what religion you are, if any. The priority is a return to a fully human life.
Absolutely rockoman,I agree. We all need our lives back.
if anything, it was realised early on that it was a good thing that many of us here had differing views on the other subjects eg Brexit yet were united in our views on lockdown.
We are united in having thought things through. I voted leave because I detest corruption and have seen the corrupt work of the EU first-hand. but I have no problem with someone who thought it through and voted remain. I do have a problem with sheep who watched BBC and decided to support the remain team because of project fear, just as much as I have a problem with people who voted leave because they don’t like Eastern Europeans.
Same for Coronabollocks, if someone has done some investigation and thinks it is a plague then we can debate it. If they’ve watched the BBC and blindly recite their new gospel then they can fuck right off and enjoy their new lives in fear of the Stasi.
This is the defining issue of our time, and as you rightly observe it is good to see manufactured divisions being widely disregarded in our pursuit of a just outcome.
We have a common enemy
People.
Sheeple.
You’re such a twat, but I like it
Even though we disagree we share a common enemy
Our methods may not be the same
But together we can break the chain
Different aims, different means, with common ground in between
Don’t sit back, it’s time to act
This life is ours, let’s snatch it back

I was telling someone about this community earlier, and it’s funny you should say this, as it occurred to me as I was talking to them that this is quite a special community. We don’t do the nasty, malicious talk that you find on other groups and media – there is no (ok little!) animosity or vitriol shown. If we don’t agree with something we pass over it and move on – as should be the case. I know that I would have found these last few months immensely harder to bear without all the intelligent insight, witty banter and real empathy shown by all the people on here. I am very glad I found you all anyway.
I agree. It’s ”a light to us in dark places, when all other lights go out…”
And the more constant and courageous the hand that holds the light, the brighter it shines. And the more the bearer has hope, again, the brighter the light shines.
You clearly haven’t met Jaguarpig.
i think he’s here to generally lower the tone and make us look like foul mouthed cretins but thankfully 99.99% of people commenting are normal rational people who don’t have Tourette’s or urgent need of anger management!
I am a bit like that in real life these days, but well behaved here
How pompous. Like a clip from the clubhouse of a provincial golf club.
Arrrf!
He’s very blunt and to the point. Makes me smile though.
I rather like him. He sometimes makes me snort tea out of my nose!
Some of Biker’s comments make me do that. Have you ever snorted tea and Toblerone out of your nose? Not good.
I’ve been thinking that if (big if) this ever ends, the tyrants and MSM face their just desserts, the sheeple beg forgiveness for being so gullible and complicit, and normal life is somehow resurrected, there will be no reason for the continued existence of this haven of good sense and good humour. It will cease to exist and we will all disperse without most of us ever having met or known each other except by pseudonyms. In future years, we could pass in the street or sit next to each other in a bar or train carriage as total strangers.
I can’t help feeling rather sad about that. On the other hand, it’ll mean we’d won so perhaps I shouldn’t have such maudlin thoughts, but the hour is late and the bottle is nearly empty.
Damned glad this place and all you folk are here. I can hardly imagine how much worse the past year would have been without the collective wit, wisdom, profanity and supportiveness of all the Lockdown Sceptics.
Night night. Tomorrow is another day ….
There should be a get together/piss-up when “permitted”.
Definitely
I’ve had similar thoughts too, Steve. On one hand it will be a great day when there is no longer a need for this site, but on the other, it will be sad too. I enjoy the solidarity here, as well as the laughs. I hope some, if not all of us manage to meet up for a piss up/party.
Haven’t quite got round to blowing out the candle yet. Yes, Nymeria (and stevie119), I sense that a post-Corona victory weekend would be well attended. I’d travel far for such an event.
Right, I’m definitely turning in now!
So would I. Good night!
I grew up in a country called Britain, Great Britain to foreigners, England for sport, United Kingdom for posh.
My two volume 1930s edition of
‘10,000 Things Every Boy Should Know’
included essays on Welsh, Irish, Scots and English folk heroes all of which were treated to the same degree of respect and admiration.
I do not recognize this place called ‘. . .Of The Nations’ as constantly touted by the wretched BBC.
We ought to unite with the BAME and Muslim community, if we’re not already.
That’s a really nice post. Someday I would like to meet up with some of you fine people. Anyone near, or able to get to, the wild west of Ireland is welcome.
Where are you – Galway?
Sligo / Mayo border…
My uncle lives in Ballina
Limerick?
I have been over that way. Amazing, not so great for campervan camp sites.
You guys are missing a trick there for sure. Perhaps Ireland will be back on the list when the insanity wears of. Might come and see ya!
A very close friend if mine announced tonight she was going to have the vaccination. She had turned it down first time but agreed the second because she wants to go back to going on holidays and doesn’t want to miss out on the chance of getting the vaccine. It concerned me because she has a LOT of medical issues and is on a hell of a lot of medication at the moment.
While I laid out my concerns to her it struck me though. All this talk about vaccination passports etc, can you really see the likes of France, Spain and Germany imposing border controls on each other for the foreseeable future. That would be the only way that such a passport scheme could work, because nitvevery flies to criss borders.
The concept of freedom of movement is an altar the EU prays to. They aren’t going to give that up lightly.
Good point. Through the end of Feb last year, as 50k people in Italy remained in a strict lockdown, zero border control measures were proposed throughout Europe – Italy, France, Germany, refused to consider border controls for a significant period of time. Kyriakides of the WHO said borders should stay open & what was more important, was that people should be more concerned about stigmatization, and not saying nasty things about the virus.
To prevent widespread social unrest? Of course. They are getting prepared
De Facto border closures/controls have been in place for months. This is within the competence of individual governments and there is nothing the EU can do except exptress an opinion.
All very well being in place while everything is shut. When places like the Alps open up, do you think the major tourist areas are going to accept a lack of foreign tourists. What about commuters who travel across boorders every day. What are they going tondo, put border checks on every autobahn, major road and close every other road. That is as impractical as Sturgeon saying she is going to shut the border.,
I wasn’t expressing an opinion Rich_m_99, just saying what is.
They have done border controls and shut smaller roads around German borders. Denmark shut borders to Germany, commuters have to get tested every 2nd day (Denmark organised and pays for it, very afraid of the British virus which is rampant in the borders).
Germany introduced more checks to Czech Republik and I believe Austria as well.
9 hours ago I posted about spending a pleasant few minutes on the sunny tourism and leisure riverside along with lots of other locals ambling about or sitting chatting on the many benches.
Local Live (mirror group news) have managed to turn this into a Covidiots story reminding us that it is Illegal to sit down while taking exercise but with just one ‘quote’ “there was hundreds or more down there with no sign of the Police”
The story was accompanied by a glossy photo of the mass crime scene ‘This Evening’ but despite (the standard) 222k Facebook likes it garnered just two comments one of which attached below.
Your eagle eyed LS reader also notes that the public toilets are open in ‘this evenings’ picture despite being bolted shut since the start of Tiers.
‘Muppets everywhere’ is a truth speaker and hero. I salute thee.

This set of actors are going to jail. The van tam/ wancok shit show press conf has also gone down like a lead balloon. Add in the manipulated death certificate story and barely infectious study and it looks like Daily Fail are trying to wash their hands as quickly as possible
Maybe there will be an international Guantanamo for Covid criminals.
With punitive masks 24/7/365.
Dehumanising? Well, these thugs ceased to be human months ago. But bloody uncomfortable, at least.
The original inmates of Guantanamo wore the blue and white facemasks on camera as well as the orange jumpsuits.

A petition urging the government not to introduce vaccine passports could be debated by MPs after it gained more than 200,000 signatures.
Something at least. But they don’t care much for these things. It’s a distraction. Needs big numbers protesting
It’s completely irrelevant what our government does if every other country demands one for entry.
It’d be typical of us, frankly. Every other country at least attempts to stop the disease at the border… meanwhile we welcome in any old scabrous Johnny, because principles.
We need to be careful here. Once again govt is messing with the language.
A passport is required for overseas travel – fine; and any country can do as it chooses: “Their house, their rules”. As individuals we can decide whether or not we want to go to a given country on their terms.
But the
governmentregime, ably assisted by woolly-minded or downright misleading journalists, is conflating this with vaccine certificates that might be required to pursue everyday activities in our own country.Hmmm good point.
You are right. The narrative should be any passport, certificate or test for any domestic or international travel or access to business, jobs, events etc is wrong.
The logic of what I think we should call “social control permits” could apply to all sorts of things: STD clinic referrals (should people who have had recent appointments really be going to nightclubs?), drunkenness offences (should people who get out of their heads on alcohol be allowed in pubs?), drug addiction (should drug addicts be allowed in parks where it is known some drug activity takes place?) etc etc. The power of mobile phones, GPS mapping and personal data held by the state will be brought together and the argument will always be “it makes us safer”.
This gets us into the territory of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess was all about: would a society that could eliminate evil be a good society? By the way I feel nostalgic for those past decades when writers – far from reciting PC pieties to garner awards – wrote perceptive and beautiful prose, issued genuine warnings to society and made us think.
Or in simple terms for the sheeples. Erosion of freedom and civil liberties is like the offside rule extended to the whole pitch.
Yep that’s a good analogy! Or it’s like making your Gran wear 20 layers of clothing so when she falls over she won’t break her hip…of course she will probably die from overheating, but that can’t be helped.
We just watched a thing on youtube about Aldous Huxley, his love their servitude interview, talking about Brave New World.
This was in about 1958 or something. It was a pretty high-brow discussion that would have gone out on national TV in the USA, at 8:00pm, prime time. Ready for the normies to consume in the masses as it was the only thing on.
I remember how we used to have a things on the TV where two very clever chaps would talk about something really clever on Pebble Mill at One with Donny MacLeod every day at lunchtime. It was the only thing on worth watching, it was boring as hell because it was two brainy chaps talking about brainy stuff (and probably smoking fags live on the telly) but still MILLIONS of people must have watched it.
Open University was the only thing worth watching on TV, especially at 12:30 an a Tuesday night on BBC2.
Now this was proper boffin territory. Their output was available to everybody really, there all the time, if you really wanted to know about boffin stuff, there it was.
Fill yer boots with boffinology!
Now nobody apart from specialists will be exposed to any reasoned intelligent debate or any kind in the main stream media apart from on a few limited and very contrived platforms where the aim is to shape public opinion around some political point usually in 5 minutes.
Win or loose usually. A tournament.
Its not usually any kind of discussion about intelligent stuff for the sake of talking about intelligent stuff.
Obviously, it’s all mostly really idiot zone insane propaganda and behavioural modification now .
So what a difference. Compare and contrast.
Pebble Mill at One. What a blast from the past!
Hummm
Communications and signals
“Pebble Mill formed part of the BBC’s communications and transmission backbone. London’s BBC Television centre (TVC) had primary responsibility for most of the BBC’s transmitted output and day to day transmission switching and presentation.
Pebble Mill was the Midlands Central Switching and Monitoring Centre, and would route national channels (2 television, 4 national radio and local radio) to the Midland transmitters at Sutton Coldfield, Ridge Hill and The Wrekin and to other parts of the UK as well as acting as a national back up to TVC in case of emergencies.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_Mill_Studios
“War Plan UK” by Duncan Campbell was an interesting read.
I remember when ITV used to let A.J.P. Taylor speak direct to camera for thirty minutes on, to most people, some obscure topic from history. 6.30 PM, straight after the news. Spellbounding.
The only thing left is Melvyn Braggs In Our Time.
These things are like “customer helplines” designed to distract & obfuscate for the benefit of corporate interests.
Excellent expose of these things on Uk Column today.
A year ago our plumber said this is where it was all leading.
Though I knew things didn’t add up ,at the time this seemed a bit unlikely .
How right he was.
Weathers improving a long dry mild spell forecast , cracks are already appearing in the lockdown , no doubt they will find another variant.

COVID vaccination update from Norway. 25.02.21
102 related vaccine deaths.
299,418 vaccinated.
1011 not assessed adverse reaction.
1204 assessed adverse reaction.
Seen that. They’ve only had 300 Covid deaths. So the vaccine catching up.
Uk 20 million odd vaccinated .
400 vaccine deaths recorded .
That seems very low compared to Norway.
Something not right there.
It’s an NHS cover-up. Doctors know their careers could be seriously harmed if they record deaths as being associated with vaccination.
Death by anything but vaccines. Check. Job secured.
deaths and adverse reactions from all vaccines are always covered up if possible. They are always coincidences Normally never gets further than your doctor, never gets reported, So big pharmacist continues to make big money.
Big pharma
Only a fraction of adverse events are reported
The DM are on a definite roll tonight.
Calls for an enquiry into the misattribution of deaths as covid deaths on certificates. Questioning just how many of the 120,000 were nothing to do with covid.

Again, the comments are very much pro storyline. I thimk the 77th must be havimg the night off, or they have been drafted north of the border to defend twankey.
119,000?
the 77th have been more occupied with this story

All singing from the same song sheet.
‘they knew the rules’.
That’s the only argument they have.
I’ve heard so many stories about misrepresented Covid deaths from relatives, friends, neighbours and care workers that I think most people must also have heard the same.
Early in lockdown 1 I reported on a hospital admin manager who had been told
‘Any patient who comes into contact with a Covid patient and who subsequently dies is to be listed as a Covid death’.
It was one of the things that drew me to LS.
Thanks Karen. It’s interesting what brought us here. I just felt a strong hunch that this didn’t ‘smell’ right, but in the first lockdown thought I was in the minority (of 1, me). Then Toby’s Spectator column brought me here by Autumn. Subsequently I cancelled The Spectator – again for me too many articles were leading, gaslighting or just not ringing true before I found out
1) editors in bed with number 10 and
2) Fraser supports lockdown. No one with an ounce of integrity from Spectator could/should/would support what has been done to democracy, freedoms and civil liberties.
Vive la liberté.
Haha yes I read that. Let’s hope the story is starting to fall apart.
Burger King night at the Tebay services lads !!!
That is the most worrying thing I have read on this site today. Can’t see this going down well with an expectant populace anticipating swarming into pubs and restaurants asap, as many would still not have been jabbed. Are you able to post a link? Thanks.
GINGER NUT FINALLY CRACKS!
So the first minister of scotland employs her daily briefing about COVID to give a party / personal political broadcast that alex salmond is a conspiracy theorist (join the camp alex!).
The ginger nut has finally cracked….
The proof Sturgeon ‘lied’ that Scottish prosecutors don’t want you to see | Daily Mail Online
I am no supporter of independence!, but the performance of alex today was indeed impressive.
I’ve got high hopes this criminal will be forced to resign.
I have no time for Alex Salmond but if it helps rid Scotland of that awful woman fair play to him.

DM articles: Dr John Lee very pro vaccine talks about ‘refuseniks’ and ‘why should the whole country be held hostage by the 1 in 5 who refuse the vaccine’ and ‘consequences’
Then we have medical expert Stephen Glover writing that ‘vaccine certificates are the only way to get UK running again and boost jabs’ he suggests they could be for a limited period. Where have I heard that one before!
Funny how these people never in the past talked about flu certificates!
Lockdownista Logic
A burglar steals your telly and gets caught. He says, ‘I will give it you back when my mate has paid me the £100 he owes me’.
*Get mad at the mate and start berating him for not paying the burglar his money*
He’s playing to the masses. Okay along!
The Daily Mail changed what John Lee said about the country being held hostage in their headline. That headline completely changed the context of what he actually said.
I’m going to suggest that, if the Covid vaccines are so effective and safe, and second jabs provide even more protection, then the vaccine zealots should be given the unwanted doses from the ‘refuseniks’ so they can be super duper immunised, even MORE protected, no chance of catching something nasty from the “selfish ones”. Refuseniks then left alone, take their chances (against minuscule risk). Win win scenario?
I’ve heard an anecdotal story tonight (Hell the zealots have nothing but them) The kebab take way place where the owner is a skeptic, told me that his friend wife died two weeks after having the vaccine. I asked what they put the death down as he said not the vaccine. Basically she didn’t want to take it but her partner has loads of health issues and she felt it was best way to protect him. The guy said her health deteriated from the day she was vaccinated.
How many more deaths like this are not being reported.
Maybe your friend should write to one of the more respected experts in the field:
Queeny,
Buckingham Palace,
London.
It would be interesting to see what came back.
That’s worse than simply sad!
Just at 15 mins of the Toby/Snowdon head to head video (ta Mile TR for organising). Is the Snowdon guy drunk?/drugged? So far, he’s a complete sneer. Mike and Toby looking at him like they’re waiting for something he says to make sense. Sneerdon just following the usual hyperbole so far. But I’ll keep watching. I’m sure by the end he’ll have convinced me of the justification for lockdown damage.
I like the thumbnail
Toby snarling
Mike looking as though Snowdon just farted.
Snowdon rubbing a little tear from his eye.
Nope, sorry, I got to 26 minutes of the Toby : Sneerdon video and I can’t take any more. Lockdowns are immoral, impractical and unhealthy (understatement). NOTHING justifies the rules that have been imposed for this ‘pandemic’. Not rule by fear, not rule by public opinion (contrived) and certainly not rule by ‘the science’ (double contrived). Giving in to the hysterics and hypochondriacs is what has got us into this mess. Time to reign it in.
It’s “rein” it in but I actually love “reign it in”, too!!
If you sign in to your account (above) an edit prompt appears and an icon for adding images.
I have to say I didn’t even watch it.
I don’t need to. It has now been clear for a long time that the anti-lockdown case is correct.
,,,but thanks to Toby for fighting on and trying to convert those who are open to discussion.
Toby is so patient. He keeps calm and quotes the facts and data, unlike Sneerdon just going for the hyperbole. I (like my hero Delingpod) couldn’t stay so focused and factual faced with such an arrogant twot.
Front page tomorrow
Are they asking or telling?
Wow – could this be a turning point after so long?
I thought it very interesting (positive) that they ‘allowed’ Bel Mooney’s article about her dad’s death
1) he was a lockdown sceptic
2) he died (in care home) of preconditions but was listed as COVID which the family dispute.
The whole article ended on calling out death certs ‘with’ and ‘of’ COVID. I must say I’m surprised atl didn’t investigate/make more of it. She’s v mainstream.
Well we might see more about this in tomorrow’s edition. It’s the first time I can really recall a paper campaigning on a favoured point of lockdown scepticism. We know that by this method the “Covid” death toll is hugely exaggerated (likewise NOT testing for other respiratory pathogens).
The Daily Mail was the only paper to call out the NHS regarding the Liverpool Care Pathway which was a precursor to the scandal of the lockdown return of the sick elderly care home residents back into homes without medication. It was basically euthanasia in its removal of food and water coupled with heavy sedation which sometimes led to the patient declining in a horrific way while the family had to watch and wait. Their campaigning led to it being withdrawn.
The Mail really need to see someone about their accute bipolar disorder.
To be clear. I really like this side of their personality.
Not before time.
I bought a paper copy of the Mail once last year to reward them for putting up a positive article that I saw online.
Sadly it was such a jumble of trite articles, adverts and paid for promotions that I barely got past page three before discarding it.
The lack of a definite article offends me.
Isn’t it interesting that the MSM didn’t seem particularly interested in (or threatened by) the lockdown sceptics until the vaccine programme started. Now if I was a conspiracy theorist, I might conclude there’s a connection…
I’m so disappointed that the Queen has allowed herself to be drawn into political propaganda.
She has been VERY poorly advised, and has undoubtedly fallen prey to concerted political pressure.
I also fear that there are signs that her advanced age has started to take the edge off her judgement.
For her to imply that people who refuse to take this “vaccine” are selfish, as she does (1:23), goes way beyond her constitutional remit, and, frankly, perhaps she ought to keep her mouth shut, or, otherwise, put herself up for election and become a president, rather than a constitutional monarch.
What the hell is she doing on Zoom chats, anyway? For goodness sake, she’s supposed to be the Queen of England, not some two-bit politician, like Matt Hancock.
What’s going on?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-tAzZ2ztCU
Yeah. It was v disappointing. Well, the monarchy was captured by globalists a long time ago. Globalists will use monarchies as required but will surely dispense with their services at the earliest opportunity. Globalists don’t really like the cosiness of the monarch-subject bond. They want people to feel isolated and afraid because then they can be more easily controlled. So ultimately consitutional monarchy will be abolished under globalism.
You’re absolutely right.. Yes, we’ve just witnessed the end of the monarchy, there. And you’re correct to say that it’s been coming for a while, but I just can’t believe how poor and how blatant that was.
No prestige, no nothing. Just another talking head on a Zoom chat, spouting government propaganda. What a way to end her reign…
I think she will remain much loved in many ways especially as a last link to WW2 (people forget she was actually in the services in the war – the Auxiliary Territorial Service) but, yes, very sad it ends like that. The First Elizabeth’s reign ended somewhat sadly as well.
On a f***ing crappy Zoom chat, with a load of bone idle, self-serving NHS bureaucrats.
What a way to finish your reign! It speaks volumes about everything.
Indeed!
There was a survey link posted on here a few days ago, does anyone remember it and by whom? Anyway I completed it, mostly in the zeros as you can imagine but it included a question about who you trusted – listed the usual suspects of government and celebrities etc all of whom I voted zero and selected only HM as trustworthy. Can’t recall who the survey was by/for but is it more than coincidence that Maj is forced out now extolling the ‘marvellous’ vaccine (that we know as experimental GM therapy)?
.
Or she is and has always been an establishment cunt. The simplest explanation is normally the right one, and all that.
Point taken, but there was, at least (and I admit it’s not much), an attempt to give an impression of stepping away from the political fray. No longer even that…
Yes, similar to how she ‘only’ has a couple of hundred million £ while the rest of her trillions in wealth is in trusts and land and funds, so not technically her own personal wealth. They are the oldest of old money in Europe; they care nothing for you and I.
I’ve always liked knowing who is going to be (powerless) Head Of State for the foreseeable future and that it won’t be some greasy pole politician.
Now I’m not so sure
Read Icke Biggest Secret.
Will do!
At least she didn’t have a cat filter on her Zoom channel like this poor bastard:
https://youtu.be/D3pB2zQRA90
I figure he was talking to his grandchildren and forgot to turn it off.
It would be a Corgi filter with the Queen…
‘Some people have never had a vaccine….should think about others’???? ‘I had the jab….it didn’t hurt at all’????
Yeah, because it’s the worry about ‘the jab’ hurting that has us stupids refusing it. Not that you, Dr Queeny, can’t tell us the long term outlook?’
I am home from a very normal evening out. Probably 40 or more of us sticking the collective middle finger up. Car park was packed, hugs all round. Stick that in your fucking pipe and smoke it, Wancock.
Further to a post below, I am proposing we call Vaccine Passports, Digital Passports etc “Social Control Permits” which is what they are.
That’s what they are!
I’m proposing we call them ‘Sheep tracking devices’
Or STDs for short
Noticed the presser tonight did not mention the Queen. I’m aware protocol means Handjob (and presumably his two sidekicks) shouldn’t discuss what she says. I never heard all the press questions, but I don’t think they mentioned her either.
I wonder if the negative reaction to her comments by the public has caused the press to back off from the story a bit. Only real follow-up I can see is one story in the DT.
Anyone notice/think different?
Great poll!
https://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/resources-readers#resourcesforreaders
Not sure that links leads to where you want it to…
Bottom right, this week’s poll …..
Ah I see – think you have to accept the cookies.
Yes, a good result. But why was the question even asked. We have laws to protect against people posing as qualified medical advisors when they are not. Though some like some TV doctors (who aren’t medical doctors) sail close to the wind on that one.
For me it just linked to the question ‘Should spreading anti- vaccine misinformation be criminalised?’
Just caught some USA news , Biden has stopped work on the Mexican border wall which was nearly complete & is ignoring the scramble of illegals pouring through the now porous border with no health checks etc , SO why can any Western World Covid measures be justified especially the health passports , surely this negates all measures !!!!….
Same in the UK.
Let’s always remind ourselves as Toby does in the “debate” that the alternative to lockdown lunacy is not “letting the virus rip” but focussed, well funded protection and shielding for the most vulnerable. Add to that many other positive things that could be done but aren’t being done…Use of cheap and effective treatments such as Ivermectin and HCQ. Free distribution of Vitamin D to everyone over 60 or in vulnerable categories. Better treatment of respiratory crises. Weight loss programmes for the seriously obese. Then let’s not underestimate the effects of positive thinking and uplift. A public health publicity drive based on a positive response rather than the B Movie Fear Stuff we get currently would do wonders for the public mood. At the same time we would be reopening up our economy, family life, sports and cultural activities.
India is distributing homoeopathic remedies to its population. Mega cheap – would never catch on in the pharma-controlled west!
Links in with the monarchy discussion below. Both the Queen and her mother (who lived an active life to beyond 100) were devotees of homeopathic medicine. This used to be acknowledged but now a veil of silence has been drawn over the subject.
I’ve only had homeopathic medicine once in my life, from a practitioner, but I found it effective.
The Indian populace is already enmeshed in the digital biometric control grid, which is one of the real goals behind this op.
The virus ripped anyway. The state had a simple choice: boil our heads, or not boil our heads. Boiling our heads would obviously have no effect on the ripping qualities of the rona. The state chose to boil our heads.
So. Storm the studios and tell the truth!! Once this is over (as we must believe it will be) our work here is not done until we ensure that lockdowns are made illegal. They must never and can never be justified. ‘Case’ numbers aren’t the way out and vaccines aren’t the way out because we shouldn’t be ‘in’. The public need to know.
Where do we start?
In bed now but just caught sight of The latest Mirror coverage of Wancock & Van Dam telling us to “Not to wreck this now”as supposedly various districts have rising case numbers ( can this be backed up ??) What a pair of narcissistic Fucking Bell Ends , Just fuck off you utter Cunts !! ( there I’ve said it , excuse my French but they are no friends of ours ) Bastards
Well I’m torn. Yes you are right. But (channeling my nana, god bless her soul) I’m afraid it’s a soap mouth wash for swearing
. 
Yes but I feel better
Interesting, short video piece on France 24 concerning the fate of those who refuse the vaccine in Israel…
https://www.france24.com/en/video/20210226-left-behind-as-israel-reopens-what-now-for-those-who-refuse-vaccines
Clicked on to view but it came up with something about accepting YouTube nosy nonsense so, being completely neurotic/paranoid I rejected it. Hopefully the article/video plays out the downfall of vaccine/passport ites and had a happy ending.
Woah, I’m confused! What’s happened?
Does this work better?
https://f24.my/7Pex
It probably would if I accepted the terms (see screenshot). Cheers
That’s really weird. I’m in France, and I don’t get that screen. What’s it got to do with You Tube? France 24 has nothing to do with You Tube; it’s a French government channel.
Makes you wonder what’s going on…
No happy ending, I’m afraid. Just a load of crap for people who aren’t prepared to have the poison shoved into their arm…
I’m a bit confused….
Here’s another link to the vid I posted…

First link worked fine thank you.
Great!
Childish, I know, but I haven’t done one for a while, so… JVT.
Look him in the eyes and tell him ‘Tony says no’
Daily Mail article of 20/12/2001 /Blair-gets-needle-MMR.
Mr Blair (2001) believes vaccines are a private matter:
‘The spokesman went on: ‘ Everyone is entitled to their privacy. That is particularly germane when it comes to medical records.’
Time for bed so it’s episode 4 of Ultraviolet, a 6 part 1998 ITV drama with an early Idris Elba and other soon to be familiar faces.
Starts off a bit Sci Fi, flash bang, uber superhumans but by the end of episode 3 it’s become the super rich funding laboratories for . . .
Vaccines !
Night night. Ax
Was that when Idris could actually run without looking arthritic?
Keep an eye on Jamaica in the coming month:
http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20210227/vax-hope-jamaica-wont-be-sharing-covid-jabs-caricom-says-tufton-first
“Jamaica gears up to receive a gift of 50,000 AstraZeneca vaccines from India next week”
Let’s see if they have the same coincidental correlation in deaths soon as observed here, the Seyechelles, Gibraltar and so on.
Disappointing to watch Hitchins walk under the yoke. I don’t underestimate the the weight of oppression pressed on his shoulders. I suggest a written letter from all of us asking him to stay in the fight. If you agree I’ll suggest an outline.
To Dr. Clare Jones,
You wonderful woman Clare. I applaud you and support you. May the peoples of the world wake up to the tyranny that is being laid on them.
Blessings and thoughts.

Some days ago reader David Kelly posted the missing Boris Corbyn – Johnson Tory manifesto. Strangely I penned something a while ago on similar lines.

If I knew how to access the Lockdown Sceptics poetry section I would post it there, but perhaps the moderators could do so. Thank you.
VOTE-IVE OFFERINGS
Would you give your vote to a party
That promised to house arrest you,
Would penalise, if you socialise
All in the name of stopping a flu;
If they said you can’t travel abroad
Or visit your granny in care,
Stop operations, and celebrations
Close down places of worship and prayer.
Not allow you to grieve for your dead
Or to give your daughter away,
Close down your pub, your football club
But not stop the illegal sto’way;
Not break free from the Brussels quagmire
Or catch your own fish in the sea,
Ban all haircuts, golf drives and putts
All to wipe out the economic.
Would shutter grown up generation
Make you drive a Scalectric car,
Increase your bills, to pay for windmills
With policy from the boudoir;
They fooled you think they were Tory
Hid the hallmarks of Engels and Marx,
Sold out our souls, to George Soros
And Silly Conn Valley ol’garchs.
