It’s astonishing how much media attention has been given to the story of the Russian-American Jewish writer Masha Gessen and the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought. Named in honour of the German Jewish political thinker Arendt, who’s best known for coining the phrase ‘banality of evil’ in her report of the 1961 trial of the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, the prize is awarded annually by the Heinrich Böll Foundation and the City of Bremen in Germany.
At the end of last year, it was announced that Gessen had been awarded the prize, only for it then to be reported that it had been withdrawn on account of an incendiary article Gessen had written for the New Yorker magazine. Eventually it transpired that the prize had not in fact been withdrawn, but merely that the prize ceremony had been downgraded.
Gessen then complained on Twitter that journalists hadn’t been contacting her to ask her about the story, which led to her being overwhelmed by media attention. Gessen, a LGBT campaigner who identifies as ‘non-binary’, characterised it as a free-speech issue, but wasn’t quite so keen on freedom of speech when it came to journalists’ reporting of it, because she insisted they refer to her by her chosen pronouns ‘they/them’ rather than by her biologically correct pronouns (‘she/her’). So not free speech, but ‘compelled speech’.
In one of the many interviews she’s since conducted, Gessen suggested that she’s the victim of a ‘new McCarthyism’.
Well, it’s a funny way of trying to repress her, by spreading her opinions all over the media. Gessen has herself described the episode as “an attempt to silence me that failed”.
In the New Yorker article that started the controversy, as part of a discussion of the ways in which the Holocaust is remembered, Gessen described Gaza as a ghetto: “Not like the Jewish ghetto in Venice or an inner-city ghetto in America but like a Jewish ghetto in a Eastern European country occupied by Nazi Germany.” She added that the ghetto is now being “liquidated”.
In response to this article, the Chairman of the German-Israeli Society of Bremen wrote to the Heinrich Böll Foundation to complain that Gessen’s language demonstrated a “deep-seated prejudice” against Israel and to insist that the Arendt prize should be withdrawn. The Foundation pulled out from supporting the prize ceremony (as did the City of Bremen), but insisted it would still give her the award. There was still a ceremony, but a small, insignificant one. So hardly a major scandal.
What made the story into a big one was the fact that a Left-wing writer had been denied full expression of the Left’s favourite subject, the oppression of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel. ‘Progressive’ media outlets, who had shown themselves uninterested in the question of free speech when it concerned criticism of Covid measures, the climate narrative or gender-related issues, suddenly discovered that they cared a great deal about the subject after all.
In the Guardian, Samantha Hill, who has written a book about Hannah Arendt, commented that “the irony is almost too thick to cut”, arguing that Arendt would not herself qualify today for the prize given in her name on account of her own opinions about the State of Israel – which might be correct, but isn’t really relevant, because the prize had not in fact been withdrawn.
In the New Statesman, the feminist commentator Susan Neiman described Gessen as a “distinguished and courageous writer [who] is prepared to call out repression where they [sic] see it”, and “the most prominent among a growing list of Jewish women who have been lambasted in Germany for criticising the Israeli Government”, among them Neiman herself. Neiman also condemned “the misogynistic tone conveyed in the media’s dismissive contempt for our arguments”. Neiman might want to ‘check her thinking’ here, since she seems to have decided that the ‘non-binary’ Gessen counts as a woman when it suits her case.
Gessen clearly thought she was being original in describing Gaza as a “ghetto”. As she said in one of her interviews about the story, “The question I had to ask when writing this was ‘Why hadn’t this comparison been made before?’”
Well, it has been. Repeatedly. Gaza was first compared to a ghetto (specifically the Warsaw Ghetto) by the Jewish Labour MP Oona King after a fact-finding trip to the region in 2003. After Israel attacked Gaza at the end of 2008 in response to rocket attacks by Hamas, there were multiple comparisons in the media with the Warsaw Ghetto. In a debate in the House of Commons, the Jewish Labour MP Gerard Kaufman compared Hamas “militants” to “Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw Ghetto”. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Richard Falk said Israel’s actions in Gaza “evoked the worst kind of memories of the Warsaw Ghetto”.
All of which led to Al Jazeera publishing an article by Mark LeVine, a professor of Middle Eastern History at the University of California, in which he criticised the frequent comparison of Gaza with the Warsaw Ghetto, which he pointed out had been a stage en route to extermination; Gaza, he insisted, is not that. “The use of highly charged historical comparisons that do not hold up to scrutiny unnecessarily weakens the Palestinian case against the occupation,” wrote LeVine, adding that they ignored Egyptian complicity and diminished Palestinian agency.
LeVine’s criticisms have done nothing to stop continued, even constant comparisons between Gaza and the Warsaw Ghetto by Left-wing commentators such as George Galloway and Tony Greenstein.
So Gessen’s comparison was far from the original observation she imagined it to be. Jewish Voice for Labour – the Corbynite pro-Palestinian Jewish group within the Labour Party, as opposed to the Jewish Labour Movement, which is the pro-Israel Labour Jewish group – entitled its report on the Arendt prize affair, ‘Masha Gessen’s prize for freethinking withdrawn for freethinking about Gaza‘. Leaving aside the error that the prize was not in fact withdrawn, it’s telling that Jewish Voice for Labour should describe as ‘freethinking’ the expression of a perspective shared pretty much universally by Gessen’s fellow travellers.
What would really have been freethinking would have been for someone who describes him- or her- self as ‘progressive’ to follow Mark LeVine in arguing that Gaza was not a ghetto.
If Gessen had really wanted to be original, she might have thought of using the term ‘ghetto’ to describe somewhere other than Gaza – for example the State of Israel (or indeed pretty much any Westernised country) when Covid restrictions were in force and the entire population were denied their freedoms.
In her article in the New Yorker, Gessen made it clear she understood that her comparison of Gaza with a ghetto wasn’t an exact parallel and that there were fundamental differences between them – in particular, that the Nazis claimed ghettos were necessary to protect the rest of the population from diseases spread by Jews (whereas Israel has argued that it’s necessary to isolate Gaza in order to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks).
In Nazi terminology, the Warsaw Ghetto was a Seuchensperrgebiet (‘epidemic quarantine area’). The Jews were walled in because the Germans were told they would otherwise infect them with typhus.
Well, the Covid restrictions that prevented people from leaving their homes and from exercising their rights to freedom of association, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom to protest and freedom to travel, and the ‘vaccine passports’ (in Israel, the ‘green pass’) that prevented unvaccinated people from fully participating in society, were introduced on precisely the same grounds as those adduced by the Nazis for enclosing Jews in ghettos in occupied Europe – to protect the general public from an infectious disease spread by a class of people whom they considered to stand outside the bounds of normal society. So why did Gessen and her ilk not use the term ‘ghetto’ then? Why are they only interested in using it in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
It’s possible to be appalled by the current situation within Gaza while at the same time criticise the Left’s obsession with it. It’s not necessary to support the State of Israel’s current military operation in order to condemn Left-wing commentators for only ever making Holocaust comparisons with the actions of the State of Israel and never with measures taken by any other country, be it Saudi Arabia, Turkey or China (or indeed the USA). Why are there mass demonstrations about the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza but not about the predicament of Afghan refugees in Pakistan or Sudanese in Chad or Venezuelans in Colombia?
Where Gessen is correct is in arguing that because the concept of crimes against humanity emerged from World War II and the Holocaust, any reference to these crimes – and any discussion of whether or not they have been committed – is by definition a comparison of the Holocaust to current events.
Gessen’s comparison of Gaza to a World War II ghetto is a microcosm of her main argument, that we should be allowed to compare aspects of the Holocaust with current events on the grounds that it’s only by comparing one event with another that it is possible to learn from history.
I think that’s reasonable. I’ve said as much myself in previous articles in the Daily Sceptic.
What has offended Gessen, and riled the ‘progressive’ media commentators who have supported her, is that German organisations such as the Heinrich Böll Foundation have obstructed Gessen’s efforts to make such a comparison.
“Where is the courage today?” asks Samantha Hill in her Guardian article, calling for the Foundation to take a moral stand.
There’s a reason for this organisational fastidiousness. Gessen and her allies appear to be unaware of the German legislation (Section 130 of the federal German criminal code) that criminalises the ‘relativisation’ or ‘downplaying’ (in German, verharmlosen) of the Holocaust by comparing it to current events. Their ignorance of the law undermines their arguments.
Robert Höschele is – like Gessen – a Jew who was born and brought up within the Soviet Union. They share the experience of having spent their formative years in a totalitarian society. Höschele’s family emigrated to Germany in 1981, the same year as Gessen’s family left Russia for the USA. Höschele now lives in Bavaria, which in the winter of 2020-21 imposed a ‘hard lockdown’, with much more severe restrictions than in the U.K. People were forbidden from leaving their homes to exercise, or to leave them at all between 9pm and 5am.
In Munich in February 2021 Höschele delivered an officially sanctioned speech at an anti-lockdown protest, in which he stated that in the so-called ‘free state’ of Bavaria, three-quarters of a century since the liberation of concentration camps such as Dachau (a mere dozen miles from Munich), “laws are passed that prescribe the internment of people”.
As Höschele has since pointed out, ‘internment’ means imprisonment without charge or without intent to file charges, so was a term that accurately described the situation in Bavaria during the winter of 2020-21.
Nonetheless, Höschele has been prosecuted and convicted under Section 130 of the federal German criminal code for the crime of ‘relativising’ the Holocaust. Höschele has appealed his conviction: his letter of appeal currently sits with the Bavarian Supreme Court, unanswered. It might well sit there for months, even years. Meanwhile, the verdict against him remains “valid but not executed”. He’s facing 90 days in prison. As Höschele puts it, “it’s like waiting in a judicial limbo written by Kafka himself”.
Höschele is far from alone. A number of other campaigners against the German Covid measures have been prosecuted under Section 130 for comparing them to the actions of the Nazi regime. Legislation intended to prevent Holocaust denial by neo-Nazis would appear to have been weaponised by the German authorities to silence their critics. The sword of Damocles is suspended above them in long, drawn-out prosecutions which have the effect of keeping them quiet and frightening away others from following their path. As the saying goes, the process is the punishment.
In a previous article in the Daily Sceptic I mentioned that the Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav is being prosecuted by the State of Bavaria for a speech at the commemoration in Nuremberg of the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg Code in the summer of 2022. “Those who declare that Holocaust analogies are ‘off-limits’ are betraying the victims of the Holocaust by denying the relevance of the Holocaust,” she declared.
Sharav, who spent three years of her childhood in a concentration camp, is now back home in the USA but the case continues. A Holocaust survivor being prosecuted for ‘Holocaust denial’. Now that’s really irony that’s “too thick to cut”.
Another victim of Section 130 is the American playwright and satirist C.J. Hopkins, who lives in Berlin. (Hopkins isn’t Jewish, although his wife is.) Last summer Hopkins was convicted for displaying an image of swastika on top of a medical mask on the cover of his book The New Normal Reich, which according to the state prosecutor amounted to “disseminating propaganda, the content of which is intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organisation”. In fact, Hopkins was lampooning what he saw as the neo-Nazi tendencies of the German Covid regime. The stated grounds for Hopkins’s conviction are so clearly the opposite of the truth that it’s impossible to reach any conclusion other than that the prosecution was motivated by a desire to find an excuse to scare him into silence. Which has worked, to an extent, because he’s said that once he’s finished appealing his case, he’ll be leaving the country.
One might reasonably wonder why Gessen herself isn’t being prosecuted under Section 130, given that she repeated her Holocaust comparisons in Germany in an official context after her prize had been awarded.
Gessen’s non-prosecution adds further weight to the argument that Section 130 is weaponised by the German authorities specifically against critics of their Covid measures.
I’m shocked by the apparent ignorance of Gessen and her supporters about these Section 130 cases. But then, because Höschele, Sharav, Hopkins and others spoke out against the Covid restrictions, they’re regarded by mainstream media as beyond the pale; their cases remain unreported there. So we read instead about the ‘silencing’ of someone who has had her prize ceremony downgraded.
That said, Gessen has an important point to make, and if she’s the one to get publicity for it – whatever the reason – then it would be churlish to complain. Gessen is critical of the German attitude to Holocaust memorialisation, for good reason. By forbidding any comparison of the Holocaust with current events, the German state is placing it on a pedestal, beyond the bounds of historical discussion. Germany is trying to control its own history.
As Gessen says:
If the whole rationale for maintaining Holocaust memory is the pledge to learn from history, then how do you learn from history if you place an event outside of history, if you say that it cannot be compared to anything that is going on now?
I would argue that the only way to learn from history is constantly to be checking back to see if that thing we swore we would never do again… is happening again. Or if we’re seeing the warning signs, the beginning of it.
And elsewhere:
In order to learn from history, we have to compare. We are not better or smarter or more educated people than [those] who lived 90 years ago. The only thing that makes us different from those people is that in their imagination the Holocaust didn’t yet exist and in ours it does. We know that it’s possible. And the way to prevent it is to be vigilant, in the way that Hannah Arendt and other Jewish thinkers who survived the Holocaust were vigilant.
Unfortunately, Gessen hasn’t been quite so vigilant as she would like to imagine. She never noticed the comparison between the beginnings of the Holocaust and the restrictions on freedom imposed in the name of ‘combating’ Covid: the erosion of human rights, the silencing of dissent, the transformation of the media into a propagandising tool, the corruption of science and the scapegoating of the unvaccinated comparable to the discrimination against Jews (and other marginalised groups) in 1930s Germany. For someone who’s lived through and written about totalitarianism, Gessen seems remarkably unaware of its ‘warning signs’. Gessen has some good ideas, but she can’t see how they might apply outside the narrow worldview of her political bubble.
Still, if anything good has come out of the Hannah Arendt prize story and all the attention Gessen has been given, it’s that the importance of learning from the history of the Holocaust has been accorded the public attention that it deserves but has all too often been denied.

“Good evening loyal subjects…
Um… after engaging in considerable dialogue with our scientific experts, and Peppa Pig’s careful analysis of the data we’ve decided it’s probably all for the best that we let you, our great nations inmates have another few nights off and a hum-dingah of a New Year’s Eve party to let off some more post restrictive collective steam.
However agh…you do know what’s coming soon after as the price you’ll have to pay early next year as the explosive surge of um… Omicron will be squarely blamed -on your irresponsible mass behavior – when it all goes tits up…
So think of the next few days um… as walking across a deadly minefield… as in move across very gently on your belly and perhaps breathe quietly or even better hop between taking very large steps…
Agh… Covid has of course kindly agreed to take a very small amount of time off here in Westminster (for the greater good) so that the looming Govt cheese and wine parties will go ahead as splendidly as last December!
Prof Whitty, Vallance and all at SAGE know we can all 110% trust in the common sense of the great British people over this continuing festive period.
Finally, agh… sorry chaps, um gotta dash Carrie’s made a delish curry out of the leftovers from our Peacock & Swan Xmas lunch…”

Theatre for the stupid
Nothing more nothing less
‘Boris Johnson today gave the green light for people to celebrate on New Year’s Eve…’
Think about the level of absurdity and arrogance in that sentence. Who the hell does this jumped-up parasite think he is?
‘…but urged the nation to be “cautious and sensible”.
In the same way that you and your mob have been ‘cautious’ and ‘sensible’?
Just sod off, you odious tosser.
‘…but urged the nation to be “cautious and sensible”.
In the same way that you and your knob have been ‘cautious’ and ‘sensible’?
Just what I was about to say. If he had been more sensible with his tool, he might not have all those kids, and 2 ex wives!
Let’s throw caution to the winds and party like there’s no tomorrow … there probably isn’t.
It’ll be just like the cold war threat of nuclear apocalypse!
Once again the (made up) 90% figure pulled out of thin air.
This time, though, it’s “90% not boosted“, not “90% unvaccinated“, or are they now classing the “not boosted” as “unvaccinated”?
Damn! I’ve gave myself a headache.
Someone posted this on the LockdownSceptics subreddit
https://twitter.com/kateemccann/status/1476143761243656197?s=21
“Have asked No10 to clarify the ‘up to 90pc of patients in ICU are not boosted’ figure and spokesman for PM says this is anecdotal evidence from “some NHS Trusts” which Boris Johnson was reflecting.”
Good spot, Julian. Bet you won’t see that mentioned in the “Worth reading in full.” Mail article.
No, it’s not! The most rated comments are; the article itself is a load of pish!
I suppose that’s obvious from his careful politician’s wording of his assertion:
“I have talked to doctors who say the numbers are running up to 90% of people in intensive care who are not boosted.”
Remember that a politician is a professional liar. They know how to get a dishonest message across while protecting themselves from direct attack.
I think that some of them are just amateurs who are doing it for the money…
I think those are just the very poor quality professionals….
Quite. “up to 90%” could mean 10%. Or lower. Like all those sales ploys: up to 50% off,when it’s actually just a few pence.
It could mean that 90% of people in ICU have had 2 vaccines, but not a third. This would mean that vaccine protection against serious illness is relatively short lived (unlike natural immunity) and we could soon be following Israel and administering 4th doses (obviously followed by 5th, 6th etc.).
If the effectiveness of vaccines only being short lived was deliberately planned by big pharma to maximize profits, then they have played a blinder, but only because governments are stupid and profligate with tax payers money.
If someone sold me a used car that broke down after 6 months I wouldn’t go back and ask them to sell me another one, a better response would be “Fuck off and come back when you have something much better to offer”. This should be the governments response to Pfizer etc.
Yes, classic politician’s telling the “truth”.
On the Nigel Farage show, 48% was given as a more realistic number overall. And this includes people who are unable to be “vaccinated” for health reasons (and therefore more likely to be hospitalised) and a disproportionate number of poor and ethnic minorities (who are more likely to have low vitamin D and be in poor health).
Oh yes, and people less than 2 weeks after an injection!
Aka total lies and bull excrement.
BBC just slipped this “anecdotal evidence” into their first report on News at 6, with no further expansion so stated as fact.
Their main stories this evening are: Covid, Covid, some bloke who dressed as a woman has died, Raheem Sterlng race-bating again, a once thought extinct fish is not dead.
So, no change there then.
You should post this news round up every day at 6. I love it.
”up to”
In East London wasn’t it? Where a lot of people are poor and on the margins (and therefore worse health). And a lot of ethnic minorities with low vitamin D levels (and we know why for some of them!). The poor and some ethnic minorities are rather less likely to take these “vaccines”.
Someone said that this 90% figure applied to no more than a few hundred people.
It’s really only one: Up to 90% of the people in ICU didn’t have the last Pfizer shot when it was due. This obviously applies to people who didn’t have any of them, people who had only one and people who had two but the last one more than x (they’re still making up their mind re: what x shall we use her) months ago.l
The long and short of that is that everyone is unvaccinated most of the time, regardless of how many so-called COVID vaccination he already had. Someone’s obviously trying to pull a flu here, that is, periodic reinjection of $magical_protection_stuff, but with much shorter intervals and without the inconvienece of actually having to produce new vaccines all the time. Damn Sars-CoV2 mutated again! Let’s have another round of the same injection!
Optimized for maximum revenue and minimum R&D cost.
The “threat” of covid will last as long as the patent title does.
Was talking today to someone who works in NHS – the conversation would be worthy of a long post I don’t have time for at moment – could be summarised along lines of “if this is what they think then we have totally lost this war” – but this NHs worker informed me they had been told to have their flu shot and their covid booster because the covid booster stops you getting the flu.
I will wager a bet that 90%+ of those in hospital are over 70 too, regardless of vaccine status.
but age, underlying health conditions, metabolic status [obese] are minor trifling details when the only thing that matters is that binary vaxxed or unvaxxed status
Yes, I wonder how many genuinely healthy under 60’s who have never had one of these injections have gone into intensive care from (not with) “covid” lately?
Sort of question a proper journalist would ask.
I had Delta.
If I hadn’t been tested I’d have put it down as one of the milder coughs of the year.
If Omicron is milder I can’t even think of that as barely registering.
If you’re healthy I urge everyone to get mentally healthy with a well deserved ignoring of the apocalypse mongers and a good few drinks and partying and have fun.
I have NatImmunity – when I encounter a variant my immune system lets me know about it. My brush with Delta left me feeling a bit like I had a bit of a bug – passed in 24 hours. If I have had a brush with Omicron it has been no more than a bit tired for a day with a runny nose off and on – certainly not worth shutting down the hospitality industry, ruining Christmas and trashing the economy – again.
Up yours, Johnson, I’ll have the New Year I want. Because I know that, contrary to your endless lies, there’s no reason to do any different.
Does anyone take any notice of the prime minister? What authority do his words carry? I haven’t watched or listened to any of his broadcasts.
Despite things getter better this is still a classic pharma scam. I’ve been tracking this in psychiatry since at least 2006. In that department people are conned into taking psychiatric drugs “or the disorder will return”. The same with vaccines where people are pressured to sign up “or the lockdowns will return”.
Antidepressants are one of pharma’s big money-spinners as people get hooked on them for years and years. Seemingly they are keen to replicate this business model with the clotshots.
For 20 years I have been telling people that over prescription of SSRIs would be the biggest medical scandal ever. Bastards snuck the fake covid vax in just to prove me wrong.
That’s right, big pharma are past masters of the hard sell.
Confused. Surely nobody gives a flying f*ck what this moron says anymore? Anybody that still does is an even bigger moron. I’m hoping the brainwashed are slowly starting to do what they used to do before all this bullshit – thinking for themselves.
The many people around the world who’ve been brainwashed did NOT think for themselves before all this BS… that’s the point! For, if they’d thought for themselves in the past, they’d have done so now… and hence not fallen for this egregious, heinous global scam.
Yes and the signs are not good – the people I know are so brainwashed and so far down this rabbit hole that there is no reaching them now.
Don’t underestimate how many easily frightened people there are out there. The country’s buggered.
Why don’t we trust the ‘experts’?

But I cannot stress too much how vital it is for everybody to get that booster jab, particularly the 2.4 million people who have had two jabs but haven’t yet had their booster, they had two jabs more than six or seven months ago, so they are eligible for their booster but they are not yet coming forward to get it.
“So I would say to people, come forward and get your booster, it is a fantastic thing to do, it makes a huge amount of difference to you, it protects you, and I’m sorry to say this but the overwhelming majority of people who are currently ending up in intensive care in our hospitals are people who are not boosted.
“I have talked to doctors who say the numbers are running up to 90% of people in intensive care who are not boosted.
“If you are not vaccinated you are eight times more likely to get into hospital altogether.
Why is this ‘worth reading in full’?
Interesting how its morphed from ‘I saw a survey’ to ‘ I have talked to doctors’. His ridiculous 90% came from a chat with a doctor then, probably prompted by Johnson wanting a ‘grunt’ to justify a line for the media. Liar, liar liar.
He and Philip Johnston have obviously talked to the same doctor.
Is it significant that Luke refers here to “Boris Johnson” rather than the traditional matey “Boris”, alone, that we have in the past been used to above the line on DS/LS?
Have we seen the back of that obnoxious practice, or is this just a chance usage?
Is there a chance that we might eventually see the full dropping of his self-serving cuddly stage nickname? It’s not as though we owe him any favours, given what he’s inflicted on the country over the past 22 months, even if the Labour and “Conservative” alternatives would surely have been far worse.
You have to wonder if this relentless campaign of coercing people to have the booster is really aimed at eliminating the control group and with it any evidence of the negative effectiveness of the vaccines. If this virus is such a serious threat as the authorities claim, then why is it that they can’t even be bothered to keep the government dashboard up to date during the holiday season. Really, what a shitshow!
It won’t work if so. Even this country will never be 100%, and many more won’t take it elsewhere. (Or do they just pretend that the Amish didn’t happen?).
On the off chance that you are reading this Johnson….DO ONE.
“Boris Johnson today gave the green light for people to celebrate on New Year’s Eve but urged the nation to be “cautious and sensible”.”
This would be the Boris Johnson who didn’t wear a face mask at the G7 meeting, didn’t wear a face mask at the COP26 shindig, and who doesn’t wear a face mask in Parliament?
Lecturing others on ‘being careful’.
How gracious of him to “give the green light” and allow us to celebrate, oh thank you, Dear Leader. Will you be giving your mate Darius Guppy the ‘green light’ to have another journalist beaten up, like you did before?
‘But I cannot stress too much how vital it is for everybody to get that booster jab,’
Why, Boris?
I’ve just been talking to a neighbour whose double vaxxed and boosted wife had covid for the second time over Christmas and is still quite unwell. The booster did not protect her.
But it would have been so much worse…
If any justice comes out of all of this, Boris Johnson and his string-pullers and cronies will be having a very incautious and insensible future.
Johnson and his band of cowardly subservient criminals should be made to see double.
Opinions might change when today’s case numbers are released.
Rumours are they’ll be pushing 200k.
Do you think “case” numbers still have the fearmongering power they once had?
I suspect not.
Oh, it is completely meaningless — now more than ever. But it is what is used to create the fear, so expect the usual fearmongers (BBC etc) to go ballistic in a few minutes from now…
I see the actual figure is just over 183,000. To my mind the two salient questions are (1) how many of these people are seriously ill and (2) how many of these people are double-jabbed and boostered? In the meantime, the fatality figures continue to fall (though I don’t expect the BBC to report that). I certainly haven’t seen anything in these figures that will persuade me to have the booster.
Define a case again please.
It’s whatever Whitty decides it is, as the next slide will show.
sir witless the good boy
The casedemic continues then. Otherwise known as “how to keep a scam going.”
Come back when you’ve got evidence, a man nonsense. Take a downtick.
183k. Not far off. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=overview&areaName=United%20Kingdom
I also note that Wales had 10k cases of Omicron yesterday (ie, today’s release), and just posted 6k positive cases for all variants for yesterday. I think that makes it -4k cases of Delta.
and how many tests did it take to continue the panicdemic ?
They’ve now run out, so ‘all of them‘.
If by “cases” you mean “positive test results without any symptoms” then they are TOTALLY MEANINGLESS. It is now hard to avoid the conclusion that the figures are made up and have been from the get go – the tests are fraudulent, they can be manipulated to show any result they want, the “deaths” from the early months of the ‘pandemic’ were largely old people Midazolamed off for ‘a good death’ and anyone who dies for any reason, including a car accident or cancer, is chalked up as a covid death – I have personal experience of same.
Is that with the catchup for the Christmas holidays?
A pity more people don’t have the sense to look at the South Africa figures, where “cases” now appear to have peaked.
Actually, I seem to remember that Northern Ireland reported for five days. I don’t know about other provinces.
Should we praise our great leader for this wonderful gift of freedom?
Erect a statue in his memory? Perhaps everyone should hang a picture of him above their cold empty fire place & reminisce how masculine & dangerous the world was before masks & heating.
Kneel & thank our excellency for decimation of OUR fine NHS & the good fortune of inflation.
I’ve been pretty unwell the last few days. Bad cough and just generally feeling shite. The evil shit to whom I am married has been totally unsupportive, saying it’s all my fault because if I’d got myself jabbed I would be better by now. Obviously to him it’s Covid rather than what we used to call the flu. He’s also pissed off that I won’t take a test to prove him right. Seems to have forgotten the 3 weeks in November when he was ill despite being double jabbed and boosted, which I refrained from pointing out at the time. I am feeling very low right now – living with someone so nasty and unpleasant is really taking its toll.
Bless you, hopefully you’ll be on the mend soon, full of antibodies ready to fight the next variant!!!
Sorry to hear that. The only solution is to leave him as soon as you’re able. I speak from bitter experience!
Spit in his porridge.
…or worse.
Urine can be actually quite good for you, but there’s not much money in it (unlike tests or “vaccines”) so you tend not to hear about it…
I hope you feel better soon, HelzBelz. It really is no fun being flued up and having little or no support.
My last wife’s indifference during my illness was the last straw for me. I’ve not regretted for a single moment leaving her sorry ass after that.
Sorry to hear this.
The whole thing is tearing some families apart.
This resource and many others is a good way to show family members that politicians, their scientific advisers and many medics are either deliberately lying or are unaware of the contrarian view.
Some in my family are against the jab but have had it so they can take their 83 year old mother on her annual foreign holiday.
Another family member has been jabbed because her boyfriends mother is having cancer treatment. They didn’t like it when I told them they are more likely to catch it now that they’ve been jabbed.
The rest of us are holding out but at least we are doing it amicably.
Good luck for the future and stay true to your beliefs based on being well informed.
Don’t forget, dividing families against each other may be a deliberate tactic by the wicked villains who are driving this shambles. Still, I’m not sure if there’s any easy way of fighting it even if true.
I think the one good thing to come out of all this, is you actually get to find out who people really are – that includes family and friends who you used to think highly of, but it turns out are just weak/morally corrupt/thick/evil (delete as appropriate). I’d prefer to know tbh. Good luck. Every cloud…
Too true!
It reminds me of that film when a group got stranded on a mountain (or some such) and you got to see who would act bravely, who was more concerned about saving their phone than people, and so on.
And also to others offering advice on what to do.
My advice – make sure you get the CD collection if you leave.
Seriously, my sympathies.
PS I am a Solicitor.
Helz I hope you feel better soon – do you have any quercetin, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C to hand, can anyone order these for you from somewhere? All will help to get you on the mend. The one consolation you have is that if it is covid then you have natural immunity.
I sympathise with having to live with someone who isn’t supportive. I have been on my own for the whole of the last 2 years of the lockdown. Initially it was hard – latterly I have come to see it for the blessing it is, because as a sceptic I would have found it hard to live with a total double/triple jabbed covidian which must be VERY trying indeed.
Add fresh lemon juice to everything. Squeeze lemons over salads, curries, fish, lamb, burgers, soups, rice dishes, desserts, tea, etc. Get tons of super strong/effective Vitamin C that way. It helps massively. Most supermarkets have fresh lemons for relatively little cost still. And butter for vitamin A. And yes, eat coriander or dill or capers for quercetin to help absorb zinc from foods.
I always add dill to cooked meals. I had never realised there was any benefit to it! I must admit I haven’t been seriously ill during this shambles – the odd cold maybe.
Get involved with Stand in the Park if you have a group nearby. I’ve found a brilliant network of supportive new friends .
You are aware that several people on here will give you an alibi, OK?
He’ll get it next.
Tell him to bugger off. He’s evidently an utter moron and tube.
surely that means 90% in icu have had a vaccination but not their booster.
you need to be vaccinated first to get a booster!!
I assume the remaining 10% to be either the unvaccinated or the booster or perhaps a combination of the 2 but not those that have had at least 1 jab but not boosted.
‘Weasel words’ I believe is the phrase.
I looked up Weasel Words and it redirected me to a page of the sayings of Dear Leader Bor IsJon Sun.
Could be the remaining 10% are not even covid-related, meaning the jabbed are responsible for 100% of covid-related ICU admissions. Oops.
They claimed 90% in ICU were un-jabbed and got called out for their bullshitting, now they have backpedalled themselves into an even tighter corner by admitting the double jabbed are disproportionately taking up ICU beds while the un-jabbed enjoy their new year wondering what all the fuss is about.
But of coarse more vaccinations are still the solution, more and more and more.
‘Cautious and sensible NY and get your booster’, WHY?
Isn’t it highly likely that many of those in ICU are likely to be the very ill and frail, who haven’t been boosted because of their condition?
Yes.
In Bombshell Admission, CDC Drops Post-Isolation PCR Test Because They Can ‘Remain Positive Up To 12 Weeks’
if that is the case does it not drive a coach and horses [yet another one] through the whole vaxx passport shite???
Patronising lying c*nt.
I’m going to invite work colleagues around to my back garden for wine. May leave a cheeseboard out too.
You mean you will be having a business meeting. Wearing suits.
Yep that ‘business meeting’ thing has been a THING for a while…
Shove your booster up yer ass. And the first two.
However, they will argue that since jabbings were brought in, hardly anyone has died of covid.
I realise that nowhere near 145,000 have died from covid, but how do WE explain the apparent drop in deaths since this time last year?
If it wasn’t the jabs, are they simply lying (which sounds bonkers), or how do we counter this argument?
Any thoughts?
The variants are milder and a lot of the most vulnerable already succumbed in spring 2020
Okay. Why are they being psychotic about the milder variants (cabals, corruption, intentional evil, etc. aside)? Why is it still continuing?
“cabals, corruption, intentional evil, etc. aside” I think you’ve covered it all really. Arse-covering, love of power – evil and corrupt whichever way you look at it
So the jabs had no effect or some effect? (They will always contrast 145,000 dead with 1,800 jab side effects deaths in order to claim they saved the world).
In short maybe Toby was partially right about cockups, but the exorbitances of governments (e.g. Austria, Australia) need to be added to this for a fuller, more realistic, explanation.
For the record, I agree it is all demonic bullcrap, but I just want a concise ‘reasonable’ description for casual conversations with compliers.
No real idea about the jabs, tbh. Gut feel is that they didn’t help much, but the data regarding covid is irretrievably compromised (deliberate). Even if they did help, mass vaxxing of healthy non-vulnerable people for political purposes was and is simply evil.
Maybe the jabs were ALL saline? Or some other harmless solution. The idea is to make people subservient and take them as a sign of their total and unquestioning obedience. Their reward – the Vaxx Pass. Which gets taken away from them is they dare to misbehave.
My mother in law is convinced there’s nothing in the jabs. She’s 80 something and thinks all of this is utter nonsense. She doesn’t want to be “saved”.
I’m seeing massive deterioration in one of my parents which can only be attributable to the jabs. How also do we account for the post jabbing deaths and injuries – the rash of myocarditis cases in footballers and other athletes? Yeadon is convinced of the bad batch theory – it is hard to discount this.
Well given the side-effects, they couldn’t all have been, right?
Best to say it is pharma ruthlessly making money. Which is true too.
Part of it is classic disaster capitalism – when there is social disruption (whatever the cause) politicians and big business will look to use that to further their own ends – in this case, the politicians appear to be using it to try to introduce digital ID and further surveilance, and certain sectors of big business are doing very well indeed out of it – big pharma, obviously, but also others such as Amazon and Microsoft.
There are, of course, extensive ties between government and big business and the two are happy to work together for mutual benefit…
Thanks. So that could be filed under corruption or intentional evil or cabals.
I suppose stupidity is a reason, albeit from the populace more than governments.
Also power factions, and the marginalising/censorship of dissent, consultation, scientific scrutiny.
A lot to unpack, but not too difficult once youve lived through it!
Stupidity (gullibility) on the part of the general population, and cowardice from institutions, but the chief liars know they are lying. No way that Whitty et al don’t know this is all bollocks, they are way cleverer than you or I, ditto the PM – he may not do detail but he’s not daft.
Sure. And if it’s lies, it seems it comes back to cabals or some ‘inner circle’ devilry. Maybe a ‘soft cabal’ of some kind rather than an omnipotent sort.
Cleverer than us? We’ll see!
Soft cabal? Maybe. Rulers since time immemorial have generally tended to want more power, if they can get away with it.
Cleverer than us in so far as understanding viral epidemics, but I think guilty of hubris which will be their downfall.
Soft as in banal, I guess. It’s not Darth Sidious and Count Dooku, but Skeletor Blair and some other bores… a bunch of masons, essentially. They’ve probably been around for a long time, but nobody cared until now. They are much less powerful than they like to believe, long-term.
I suppose I am trying to ‘de-psychoticize’ the ‘cabal phenomenon’ (or postulation) in order to clear some of the rhetorical mist (without denying any real truth in it) and get a more balanced perspective.
Who knows? Some people seem sure, I am not convinced there’s enough evidence for anyone to be sure. What I convinced of is that these bastards know they are lying and do not mean well, and that means they are sinful (and probably criminal) and deserve severe punishment, in this life or the next.
Because they can.
My take on this from the beginning was that this was all about control of people. International travel restrictions remain in place. Most people are now prisoners in their own countries. It is possible to travel abroad, but nowhere near as easy as pre-March 2020, with having to arrange PCR tests and paperwork, the expense of this, and the quarantines imposed.
Now that governments have seen how willing their populations have been to bend to their demands, why give up these powers of ’emergency’?
Even if ‘Covid’ has gone (even if it existed, I have my doubts) it will still be milked and used as an excuse. As we all know, all it takes is for someone – anyone – to say there’s another ‘variant’ on the loose and the Covid Circus will continue to rumble along.
Just as MPs will continue to glance at e-mails from their constituents and consign them to the trash folder. If you are just moaning and not offering them £50,000, they’re not interested.
“International travel restrictions remain in place. “
Except for those without any documents illegally entering the country across the channel and lying about their age etc.
Border Force = Patel’s Taxi Service. They give a call half way across the Channel to be picked up. On the other hand, I have been reading about some of the terrible things many real refugees are face with.
My general outlook is to take genuine refugees in, look after them, and return them to their own country when it gets put back in order.
It is a complicated thing all in all, and we must remember that it is British arms manufacturers supplying weapons to the likes of the Saudis who are bombing Yemen. There shouldn’t be refugees in the first place.
It all gets a bit messy…. but anyway, let’s get back to Covid and thinking of drowning Johnson in a barrel of piss.
“return them to their own country when it gets put back in order.”
Possibly, but a lot of these countries never seem to get back in order. Not that we have much to shout about any more.
Why did they shift from promoting travel, to restricting it, on non-Covidian terms?
None of them believe in Climate nonsense, do they?
Isn’t there more money and power in allowing free-flow of people across borders, including wealthy tourists, than in restricting it?
You are right, I believe, that the ‘Covid-effect’ will linger for decades: buggering up all our lives on so many levels.
Once almost everyone agrees Covid is lethal, a culture and economy of Covid develops, which will prove very hard to dismantle (it may need a revolution after all).
I doubt they believe in the climate nonsense or anything else except their own power and glory – they will jump on whatever bandwagon is going to get and hold on to power, prestige, money, glory and keep themselves out of jail.
SO they might well jettison both the Covid ‘tool’ and the Climate ‘tool’ at any time, to stay ahead of the curve.
Thus nasty politicians will prepare to emerge as ‘saviours’ in 1-2 years and ‘abolish covidianism’ if it suits them, or Climate crap.
Their own perverse utilitarian evil is funnily enough our only hope, as it were (it’s not really, but you known what I mean).
The covid tool has worked well so far but they seem to be running out of steam and having to tell bigger and bigger lies. I try not to think about the future too much, just try to stay healthy mentally and physically, enjoy life, look after my family and push back against the Big Lie in whatever way I can.
Overall, if all this is true, it just strikes me as such a pointless waste.
‘Man is appointed to die once, and then face judgement’ (Hebrews 9:27).
‘For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted’ (2 Corinthians 12:21)
I am afraid the whole covid panic has been the most pointless waste in global history, which has benefited a tiny number of people only, and only for a short time, but set back progress by a long way (or it’s indicative that we have been going in the wrong direction for a long time).
I don’t know know why anyone would want to be a lying bastard ruler, but that’s just me – not my thing. Doesn’t seem like much fun, but we’re all different. Hard to think that sort of person has sweet dreams, but perhaps I just like to think that’s the case.
I don’t think there’s much doubt that the vaccines work initially. The question is, can the country afford to keep buying universally-offered booster shots from now to eternity?
Much better to get some proper full immunity from Omicron and then ride it out.
Oh, and the ‘initially’ bit obviously ignores any damage that might ensue to the body’s immune system from repeated vax treatments, and other long-term effects that can’t be known yet because of the speed of vax development and approval.
So, a summary:
Is all this, if reliable, cock-upism, cabal inspired, or a hybrid, or neither?
“Less than 145,000 have died of Covid (50,000? who knows?) – not so many as to constitute ‘excess death’ for the years 2020-2021”
There was an increase in all-cause mortality in 2020 (and this year) against recent years which have seen the lowest mortality ever recorded. 2020 was at 2008 levels – possibly a bit of covid and a bit of collateral damage from lockdowns, and withdawal of care. Lots of other countries, including countries with lots of “covid deaths” had HARDLY ANY increase in mortality as against recent years. So covid has probably had some impact but it’s NOT a societal level emergency and not exceptional.
Yes. The ‘exceptionlity’ was in the few years when mortality bottomed out.
“I don’t think there’s much doubt that the vaccines work initially.”
Work how? For whom? I’ve never seen any convincing data. “Covid deaths” went up sharply at the same time as the vaccines were initially rolled out to the vulnerable, in the UK and elsewhere. IMO anyone not vulnerable is bananas if they get vaxxed for health reasons given the very low risk of covid and the unknown long term (and short term) risks of the emergency, experimental vaxx. Anyone vulnerable, I am not convinced either. The data has been obfuscated at every turn.
“Much better to get some proper full immunity from Omicron and then ride it out.”
That will only work for the unjabbed – and the full immunity is not recognised by nation states because it makes no money for big pharma
The jabbed will never have proper full immunity because of what the jabs have done to their immune system – they are now on that jabbing conveyor belt for life, apart from the fact that the jabs are also harming their immune system to produce something akin to vaccine acquire immuno deficiency syndrome [a kind of jab derived aids]
Read the Pfizer trial results. No overall mortality benefit, and that’s even with the fiddling of figures the whistleblower revealed. The vax do next to nothing.
Boozer. Not booster.
Latest Ice Age Farmer video.
Vaccine mandates steadily crippling the supply chain. Farmers not even being allowed to deliver grain without proof of compliance.
China is expected to have stockpiled 69% of the global maize reserves in the first half of crop year 2022, 60% of its rice and 51% of its wheat. China knows what is coming.
Thx!
I shall say this cautiously and sensibly.
Fuck off Johnson!
Any doctors in the house?
Do people just drop dead? Warning: someone just dropping dead! (Ignore the narrator)
Throw your smartphone away.
Cautious and sensible? Get Tae fuck, Kim Jong-Johnson, you and your domestic abuse, imposed on whim.
Sod off Johnson, I am out to enjoy myself, along with others on the 31st.
He’s still talking a heap of stinking horseshit, even as he tries to placate the Tory rebels. What an absolute cunt. Fuck him
Don’t beat about the bush.
Just say what you really think.
You won’t be joining his fan club, then?!
Once a lying sack of shit, always a lying sack of shit….
“If you are not vaccinated you are eight times more likely to get into hospital altogether.”
When is the next election? Then again, who is there to vote for?
“I cannot stress too much how vital it is..” for everyone to ignore Boris Johnson’s bullsh*t and get on with living their lives.
The only notice I am now giving is grabbing my Exemption badge on the way out the door so snotty people don’t bother me.
Oh and deleting the constant messages to my phone for my booster.
Word of advice, never give a government department or public sector service your phone number, insist on snail mail contact.
Another word of advice, never give your phone or email to private sector corporations if you have any value for your privacy.
Remember when this all started we were hearing from doctors Italian wards were filled with young people. Reality is the average age of death was 82. Then there was the almost everyone in hospital was unvaxed. Then it turned out that the data came from a period when 80% of the nation was. Now another word from a doctor that Boris repeats without any data to back it up (and the fact many of the patients in ICU are secondary Covid patients and that they have been there long enough to have never gotten their booster during Delta anyways).
We must demand of our government and the media this old fashioned thing called facts. Show us Boris that those in ICU, primarily for Covid, are boosterless and the date of admission.
The data brings truth and truth will set you free!

Do the dinghy people get 3 jabs on arrival?
If you’ve not had any jabs, is there any point in having one, if you have to wait at least 12 weeks between jabbing, the Omicon wave will be over by then & you’ll need a 4th or 5th jab to protect you against mutants.
I’ve concluded It’s impossible to catch up & it’s best to just not bother at all.
“I’ve concluded It’s impossible to catch up & it’s best to just not bother at all.”
Yeah, there always seems to be so many better things to do….
I refuse to live like a hermit in Johnson’s State of Fear. 2022 is the year I sincerely hope humanity rejects all the governmental and corporate terrorism, and starts to live again, like we are supposed to.
We are supposed to be going to my other half’s sister tomorrow. We have met her intermittently over the past 20 months. Last time was about a month ago. She and her husband are triple jabbed.
Out of the blue, she has texted him and suggested that we take LF tests before meeting, and they will do the same.
My response is simple: No, no, no.
My other half says he will claim to have done it and it’s clear, but I refuse to lie. I won’t take one (a moot point as we don’t have any, lol), but I refuse to validate someone else’s neurosis.
So it’s going to be an interesting time, and a test of our relationship!
I refuse to lie. I am not a good liar and it’s a fucking imposition to have to lie about something that is meant to be a pleasure.
He says he can’t be doing with arguments, plus she isn’t going to know if you took a test or not.
I’m still not playing along. It’s just against everything I am. It’s admitting I think there’s a danger and a problem, and I won’t do it. He might have to go on his own.
At work one colleague is saying he may not serve a maskless person. Told him is was diskrim against the likes of me, the exempt. The vidians are encroaching for sure though…
Potential contravention of the Equality Act right there – if the person isn’t able to wear a mask because of a recognised medical condition, then this will apply.
Shame. I think I would not go. I might make an exception for someone very very close and dear to me, perhaps a parent who had nurtured me, or a child. Not for anyone else. Of course they won’t know but that’s not the point. Pushing someone into a corner and making them into a liar is very rude.
What happens if she wants to see evidence – maybe make him take an LFT outside her home and wait in the shed for 30 minutes for the lines to show in that little plastic piece of crap from a Christmas cracker Made in China?
Will you be wearing face masks inside their home?
My partner’s sister had a graduation party for her daughter 3 weeks ago – about 30 guests (relations) – all had to wear face masks inside her house. I’m not joking. I didn’t go to that freak show.
I believe you. People have gone demented. I don’t wear a mask, and certainly wouldn’t for a family visit.
It is batshit insanity.
A strange tale. It prompts the tricky philosophical question, Why would one want to socialize with deranged morons.
Well, to be fair, they’ve been ok up until now. That’s why I’m surprised. And she is his sister. I don’t have any siblings, so don’t really know what it’s like.
I wonder how Carrie and Boris are getting on with their relationship. As Boris doesn’t wear a face mask and clearly knows Covid is a con, I’m guessing Carrie also is aware that Covid is a fraud, as she hasn’t moved out, has she?
Boris lies, Carrie supports him.
Did she take the deadbabyjuice while pregnant with little Rabid?
She said she did – I expect she did.
I think your position is the correct one.
Trying to make people think is always a bit of a lost cause because they often resent that, but you could try the following: Assuming she and her husband watch BBC evening news, they should remember numerous reports about the terrible situation of the population of Afghanistan — because the Taliban are again in power there. Judging from these reports, they don’t seem to have any COVID there. Isn’t this a bit strange?
I was supposed to be meeting up with a friend for lunch at some point in the next few weeks. She’s called it off because I don’t (and won’t) engage in the testing obsession.

BoJo the clown taken to COURT over Covid Passes
Government threatened with legal challenge over ‘discriminatory’ Covid passes
Error!
That’s not what Boris Johnson said. He said “unboosted“, not “unvaccinated”.
I do not believe Johnson for one single moment.
Starmer should eviscerate him on this, but he won’t.
Will’s piece cites Sajid Javid and the Times article from 4 December which cites NHS England as saying that “between July and November more than nine in 10 patients receiving the most specialist care, in which artificial lungs were used to try to save their lives, were unvaccinated”.
Johnson isn’t saying that. In a very Trumpian way, he said
There is NO WAY that that’s true.
There is NO WAY that that’s true.
It’s not!
Thanks to Julian for posting below:
https://twitter.com/kateemccann/status/1476143761243656197?s=21
In plain English, Numbers are running up to 90% of people in intensive care who are not boosted means Less than 90% of people in intensive care are not boosted (but someone claims to be convinced that 90% will eventually be reached).
‘Starmer should eviscerate him on this, but he won’t.’
Both are on team globalist, the Tories and Labour are essentialy the same party, which is why Labour keep on voting for Johnson’s covid scam.
One doctor has claimed it. Is all he’s saying.
Darling, she meant nothing to me.
Listening to Bunter talk about anything technical is like watching a dog trying to crochet.
Dogs are excellent at the art of croquet.
Some are also rabid and barking-mad. This cur definitely is.
I’m sorry Mr Johnson but I don’t recognise your authority.
But as a booster follows two previous vaccinations then surely 90% of patients in ICU are double vaccinated.
Yes, but double perforated now counts the same as unperforated. Remember Through the Looking Glass? You run and run and at the end of it, you’re back where you started.
Six impossible things before breakfast
My personal observation is that those that get the boosta often come down with the dreaded covids shortly afterwards – ‘missed it by that much’.
It is almost like they are injecting the disease into people.
Together in Cardiff (God bless them!)
My daughter – boosted (3rd jab) Thursday 23 Dec – LFT positive Sunday 26, PCR positive Monday 27
My son in law – boosted (3rd jab) Friday 24 Dec – LFT positive Thursday 30, likely PCR positive if daughter is anything to go by.
Any more for any more?
No he didn’t. I watched him. He said 90% were not boosted.
Bozo has been ordered to ramp it all up starting early January and has decided to let the people of this country have one last fling before the real evil kicks in.
That’s my take – I do hope I am wrong.
My uncle has received a letter from the nhs stating that if gets covid symptoms, he can now be treated with an at home pill, sounds like Molnupiravir, initially developed to treat influenza,
blimey, he doesn’t sound like he’d be much fun at the Christmas ‘work meeting’.
FO BoJo.
Of course it’s not true. Neither are yesterdays test figures. How do you get so many positives when tests havn’t been available from chemists or from online order for 2 days. I havn’t been able to get them for 3 days where I live (west mids).
It’s utter nonesense.
Fake news anyone.
It’s all quite simple, really.
Why would you take advice from a proven narcissistic, serial liar?
Tell this priapic Old Etonian to f*** off and mind his own chuffing business.
Interesting article has just popped up in the Daily Mail, asking if we are “vaccinating too much”
Read full article
Looks like they’re about to sow the seeds for their retreat on the vaccines. People in the comments say the same is happening in Oz.
Before people deny they ever said anything coercive or even favourable about the vaccines, I propose we compile a list of shame. Obviously there are the obvious candidates in politics, pharma and the regulators, but the media personalities? Here are some arseholes I’ll be looking to hold accountable for any vaccine death:
Jeremy Vine
Nick Ferrari
Piers Morgan
Lucy Beresford
India Knight
Dominic Lawson
Shelagh Fogarty
Feel free to add to the list. These media whores were first to mind though.
