Under a new Government plan, councils disregarding local opposition to low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) and 20mph zones risk losing their authority to issue penalties, as well as potential funding cuts. The Telegraphhas the story.
The guidance, which will also require councils to “regularly review” existing schemes to monitor levels of local support, says: “Schemes should be adjusted if this reveals issues with performance and removed if they are shown to have failed to deliver as expected, including a failure to demonstrate local support.”
The Department for Transport (DfT) has also said new guidance will address concerns over bus lanes that cause delays, making sure that they only operate when that makes sense, such as when traffic is heavy enough to delay buses.
The statutory guidance on LTNs, due to come into force in the summer, is part of the plan for drivers drawn up after Rishi Sunak used an interview with the Telegraph last summer to launch a review of road policies and promise drivers that he was “on their side”.
His intervention came amid fears that motorists were being punished by schemes such as LTNs, which have become increasingly prevalent since the Covid pandemic. …
Separately, the Government said it was “strengthening” guidance on applying new 20mph speed limits to make it clear that such restrictions should be reserved for “sensible and appropriate areas only”, such as roads outside schools, “with safety and local support at the heart of the decision”.
Ministers will make it clear that failing to adhere to the separate guidance on both LTNs and 20mph limits could lead to future Government funding being withdrawn.
The Government is planning to launch a consultation on further measures that could be taken against councils flouting guidance on the issue, including removing their access to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data used to enforce LTNs via camera footage.

There you go. Removal of civil rights, then removal of human rights. At which point do the fascist apologists stop crying about comparing this with the Holocaust and go “oh crap… I see it now…”? AFTER the dead bodies start piling up?
After Germany just confirmed that they will follow Austria’s lead and lock down just the unvaccinated population, I think the UK is going to be next soon. It makes sense. Boris is acting like he desperately doesn’t want a lockdown, getting the useful idiots all excited for a free Christmas. Now he’s dropping hints that he will lockdown, making the useful idiots scared and desperate. Come December, he will probably say: “Well, we can’t get away without a lockdown so… how about we just lock down the unvaccinated?” and the useful idiots will cheer and throw us along with human rights under the bus.
He will need an act of Parliament to achieve it and he won’t risk being beaten. Plus the polls in the UK are extremely marginal on this issue because most people know that the vaccines don’t work. Plus we are in the middle of a booster campaign which would sow further confusion.
I strongly suspect you are correct, so strongly I will be willing to put my life savings on it! The jabbed will of course turn against the unjabbed, treating them as disease ridden lepers even though their beloved jabs haven been shown not to prevent them catching Covid and probably only give 6 months protection at best.
Lost for words, it really is like 1930s all over again!
I can’t see how this ends well & the EU can survive this if it doesn’t act on this. How can one party vote to stop another party voting, effectively its a coup. This is a partisan attempt to silence the opposition, I don’t think it has anything to do with covid.
Except the rise of fascism in the 30s was due to the worst economic crisis in a century and lingering hatreds from a war that killed 20m+. This is in response to a virus with an IFR of .2 which people under 70 face flu levels of risk (granted greater transmission). There is no justification for this dive into authoritarianism.
None of what has occurred these last twenty odd months has anything to do with C1984, that was their cover. The health argument is pretty well exhausted now and certainly before Christmas it will be obvious to all but the most stupid that this is the Reset, the Globocap coup.
Blood will be shed next year, somewhere on this planet no question.
Sadly true, it’s clear another world war is imminent. The only question is which will be the trigger point, there are so many potentials to chose from.
And the horror of our resistance is not dying, but seeing all around us turned into walking dim-wits. In the land of the moron-zombies, the person with a brain is…
It will be shed. But the powers, controlling the hall of mirrors known as the net/media, won’t allow any information to be publicized. The revolution won’t be televised, folks…
The time to challenge lockdowns was March 2020.
The time to challenge masks was the day after they were made compulsory
The day to challenge the vaccine was before it was authorized.
If you don’t fight off your abuser, attacker, hostage taker immediately you become a helpless victim, the lesson to learn is don’t give them an inch. Don’t let fear paralyse you!
It looks like ‘the official Jewish community’ hasn’t got the message after all these years – which was that Jews share the same rights as all citizens. This is not a time for playing ‘my persecution is worse than yours’, and therefore I can ignore you.
The Latvians have a murky, recent history of persecuting minorities to the point of extermination. In this they were assisted and encouraged by the Germans. Perhaps they’d now like a return of those people, plus some assistance from the Austrians.
It’s the Thirties and the Second World War re-run, blow by blow, and under the aegis of the ludicrously-named “European Union”.
And thus the despotism is condensed and reinforced.

What the actual heck is going on? How did we end up here?
Full disclosure: I’m double jabbed. So not anti-vax. But we know this isn’t a vaccine in any way we normally think of it. It provides protection for about 200 days tops as regards transmission. Transmission being the only jusitification for these actions since we don’t suspend smoking MPs, those who drive to fast or any other activity or life choice that increases hospitalization. And we know that vaccinated protection from transmission diminishes early. Aside from one very poorly constructed study we know that natural immunity is stronger, deeper and lasts longer. In makes more sense to only allow those with prior infections to vote than this.
How quickly has Europe abandoned its remnants of democracy and human rights! To fight a virus with a 99.8% chance of survival. That anyone under 70 will likely catch multiple times in their life. And a little hint guys, this won’t stop your seasonally inducted waves anymore than a piece of cheap clothe.
The world is mad! It seems like Sweden, Texas, Florida and for right now England are the last bastions of sanity. How did we end up here and who will pay the price for such dehumanization?
It provides blood-based antibodies so it cannot prevent infection or transmission in the respiratory tract. Any attributed reduction in transmission is either a convenient statistical artifact or a lie. They actually assist in acquisition of infection as a result of the vaccines crippling your immune system for a short period or by opening the doors to welcome delta by making your immune system obsessed with alpha.
You can tell the deceitful by their use of that term. Most of us are not ‘anti-vax’ in that sloppy, generalized term for morons.
But we know that (a) this in’t a ‘vaccination’ and (b) Vaccinations are not the blanket miracle cures as pretended. They vary, and most attempts are failures. Even the useful ones generally play a relatively small part in the decline of a disease.
Read Dissolving Illusions, the best one book analysis of the nightmare that is vaccines that I have read. What’s really valuable about it is its account of resistance to the smallpox vaccines in the 19th century in England, a history which has been erased. So much of the rhetoric that was being directed at the protesters then is indistinguishable from the crap we hear today.
I say smallpox vaccines, not vaccine. It is regularly touted as the gold standard example of disease eradication, but the truth is far different. For one thing, there was no single vaccine, but everybody was mixing up their own filthy potion by grinding up the pox from different animals, and even human corpses killed by smallpox. They had this thing called arm to arm transmission, where they would inject the disgusting goop into peoples arms, wait for it to break out in pus and blisters, then draw off this disgusting muck and reinject it into other people’s arms. The result of course was that the vaccines spread the disease.
Meanwhile, smallpox was eradicated when they sorted out public health, basic things like separating the human faeces from the drinking water. It is truly an eye-opening book.
But yeah, the history of vaccines is a history of vaccine injury. The fact that diseases have receded has everything to do with hygiene and little to do with the insane magical thinking of vaccines. Read Dissolving Illusions.
England with eugenicist Johnson at the helm is no bastion of sanity. We shouldn’t mistake the calm before the storm, as being a marker for continuing fine weather.

Is this still just a conflation of cock-ups Toby? Sad times indeed – the fact we have Vax passes in Wales and Scotland is all too nearby for my liking. Can’t believe people are still blindly accepting that this is about a virus. The high watermark of the psychological fear doom still lingers in people’s minds.
If you can watch all the police brutality and psychological operations going on around the world for the past 20 months and still pretend it is all about a virus (like just about the entire UK media do with a couple of exceptions) you are either in on the act or know you will be spared.

To put it in context death from heart attack is well over twice the so-called death from Covid figure. We live in scary times indeed and it is genuinely no exaggeration to compare events to 1936.
It’s really interesting following the tone of the comments on this site as we watch this slow motion train wreck unfold. This article seems to have brought out the frustration that we are all feeling, the sense of I-told-you-so combined with being universally despised by the saintly vaxxed. These are our community, our friends, our family. We don’t want anyone to suffer. Of course. But the longer this goes on, the further off the rails it goes.
Remember the only reason for the emergency authorisation of the so-called vaccines was that there was no other available treatment. This is the vicious lie at the heart of the whole matter, because of course there are treatments, which are cheap, safe and effective. And also out of patent. So, yeah. It’s a scandal from top to bottom, and now we are dealing with all the collateral damage which we’ve been pointing out from the get go.
And it’s getting worse.
I just want to say that for my personal mental health, this site is an absolute godsend. To be reminded every day that I am not alone, that there is a small army of us who have not lost our minds, is enough to keep me going.
As belonging to minority of not vaccinated I lost a few “friends” and can’t (honestly at least) speak with most members of my family anymore. What is really sad, is that that I believe in their right to choice in this, but it’s a one way street. I really start to understand how all atrocities of the history happened even though we utter statements like “How could ever people do something like that?!” Well, just look around. That’s how they could.
Yes that sums up my position. Fortunately I have a very small circle of friends with the same attitude and my immediate family. But it’s extremely hard to hold on to your head when all around you are losing theirs (to misquote Kipling). What’s fascinating to me is the conviction I feel about it; the knowledge that I will never go along with this no matter what. Not for travel, not for the cinema, not to be accepted by others. I made the decision right at the beginning and this will never change for better or worse.
Latvia is now a full-on fascist state … I mean all thats missing now is jack-booted goose-stepping stormtroopers and the swastika as its national flag and it would be rise of Nazism all over again – if this was happening in somewhere like Russia and it was Putin who was imposing these tyrannical measures there would be world-wide condemnation but it seems that these days any government oppression is acceptable if its in the name of ‘defeating covid’.
Covid has become every wannabe dictators wet dream
I’ve said it before on here but Hitler did it all wrong. All he had to do was to pretend that a winter flu virus was in fact a new deadly plague, the most deadly the world had ever seen, and was certain to wipe out the whole of the human race unless everyone cowered in fear at home. He then could have got Goebbels etc to spin the press and public, as we have seen done by our modern day government and their advisors, and hey presto he would have had the entire global population under his control. They would have unquestioningly done anything he told them including allow themselves to be experimented on multiple times with new and not properly tested gene therapies, held prisoner indefinitely in their homes, confined to a certain area and allowed their businesses to be shut down.
When the worldwide media is so tightly controlled and most ‘stories’ come via Associated Press or Reuters it is easy to install a worldwide fascist government. AP and Reuters are the biggest circulators of fake news in the world.
Interesting how not a single word of condemnation is uttered by the ‘Human Rights’ charities, perhaps it is because they are just front organisation for the dark forces that really run the world. The people who have declined the experimental gene therapy effectively have no rights or representation.
True but if the majority of the population had just an ounce of critical thinking ability the authorities would have been seen through within the first few days of lockdown.
I guess we have critical thinking trained out of us at the various levels of state education (indoctrination camps). Large companies and state employers also have the habit of punishing critical thinkers and promoting order followers and conformists.
We also have the massive problem of the regulated media who bully everyone out of what the elite consider to be ‘wrong think’ and slowly socially engineer the masses into being their model global citizens (slaves).
The difference though (as far as New Normals/Good Germans is concerned, is that we’re choosing to opt out of the new ideology, rather than being born into the wrong ethnic group. That’s the part that scares me.
German, Soviet and EU occupation. Fast getting to the point when the UN / WEF officially take over. If you’re a small independent country who defies orders you are soon subject to regime change, no different to being a Soviet province I suppose.
They need Lukashenko to cross the border and liberate them from their Covid Tyranny

I just watched NZ Dr. Sam Bailey’s latest video (part 1 of ?) on the COVID fraud. Needless to say it makes some VERY big claims. I personally believe her and the people she works with, but you should watch and make your own minds up.
It’s on odysee because there’s no way the likes of YouTube would allow such videos to be posted:
The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015. One of the 3 most important drugs in human history: Aspirin, Penicillin, and Ivermectin. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
You don’t need a dark past to go modern-day fascistic. Australia (amongst the first to legislate for government pensions, and the first country to give women the vote, and institute the principle of ‘a fair day’s work for a fair day’s wage’ – a social democrat’s dream) has beaten Latvia to the punch.
Dan Andrews’ (who else!) lockdown orders had prevented four minor party representatives from attending and voting in the Senate because they refused to show proof of vaccination (two are double-jabbed, two object on principle to a Vax Passport) which had made a near, if very narrow, certainty of passage of his bill to seek autocratic powers to declare a pandemic at will and rule by decree with his CHO.
However, in great news, a former Labor Senator who was dumped from the party by Andrews has now decided to vote against the bill, condemning it to near certain, again, if narrow, defeat.
A great result for all those who have marched and protested, and endured beatings, and never lost hope that Andrews can be beaten politically. DS will be reporting further on this amazing devolpment which should give us all renewed hope.

But how can democratically elected members of Parliament be told that they cannot represent those who elected them? – meaning that those areas have no representation. Is this legal? It is all too depressing for words – I hope they fight back. It is encouraging to see how many cases are being brought against the vaccine mandates in the US.

it doesnt prevent transmission ffs
It provides blood-based antibodies so it cannot prevent infection or transmission in the respiratory tract. Any attributed reduction in transmission is either a convenient statistical artifact or a lie. They actually assist in acquisition of infection as a result of the vaccines crippling your immune system for a short period or by opening the doors to welcome delta by making your immune system obsessed with alpha.
Very well said. Not forgetting the Vietnam study that showed increased viral load in the vaccinated.

The difference though (as far as New Normals/Good Germans is concerned, is that we’re choosing to opt out of the new ideology, rather than being born into the wrong ethnic group. That’s the part that scares me.
Where are all the antifascists?
Is anybody left in ‘Team Toby’?
Looks like Latvia might as well turn back to Russian occupation.
German, Soviet and EU occupation. Fast getting to the point when the UN / WEF officially take over. If you’re a small independent country who defies orders you are soon subject to regime change, no different to being a Soviet province I suppose.
They need Lukashenko to cross the border and liberate them from their Covid Tyranny
Here it goes again folks. Stand your ground, this is another test to see how many will break. The key here is to resist becoming a pavlov dog. I know its disheartening to see news like this but that is exactly the intention. Dont forget, the people doing this are pathetic weak individuals. I’m beginning to long for the use of force here.
They are destroying themselves, slowly but surely. Just watch the sweet backlash in 2022 or 2023!
No surprise Latvia were such willing collaborators with the Nazis during the Holocaust. Thank God these nasty people are no longer allowed free movement to the UK.
Latvian SS and Latvian Red Riflemen spring to mind.
But still expect EU and NATO to come to their assistance if Russia decides to reclaim their country. I say fuck off, you’re on your own.
I just watched NZ Dr. Sam Bailey’s latest video (part 1 of ?) on the COVID fraud. Needless to say it makes some VERY big claims. I personally believe her and the people she works with, but you should watch and make your own minds up.
It’s on odysee because there’s no way the likes of YouTube would allow such videos to be posted:

If you like the video / agree with what she says/reports on, please share the link to the video as widely as you can.
Dr Sam is a wonderful young lady.
The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015. One of the 3 most important drugs in human history: Aspirin, Penicillin, and Ivermectin. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
The cost of Ivermectin from that site is sky high. Does anyone have a link to a site selling it for a more reasonable price?
You don’t need a dark past to go modern-day fascistic. Australia (amongst the first to legislate for government pensions, and the first country to give women the vote, and institute the principle of ‘a fair day’s work for a fair day’s wage’ – a social democrat’s dream) has beaten Latvia to the punch.
Dan Andrews’ (who else!) lockdown orders had prevented four minor party representatives from attending and voting in the Senate because they refused to show proof of vaccination (two are double-jabbed, two object on principle to a Vax Passport) which had made a near, if very narrow, certainty of passage of his bill to seek autocratic powers to declare a pandemic at will and rule by decree with his CHO.
However, in great news, a former Labor Senator who was dumped from the party by Andrews has now decided to vote against the bill, condemning it to near certain, again, if narrow, defeat.
A great result for all those who have marched and protested, and endured beatings, and never lost hope that Andrews can be beaten politically. DS will be reporting further on this amazing devolpment which should give us all renewed hope.

How will this pan out, in the UK? I’m unvaxxed. I’ll be under house arrest, until I’m dragged out, then imprisoned, then held down, while I’m jabbed?
This should have caused an outcry across Europe.
Is anyone aware of ANY condemnation from around the world? Which world leaders have spoken out against this? Any?
The precedent this sets is truly terrifying.
They don’t really “get” democracy do they? Still Communist at heart.
But how can democratically elected members of Parliament be told that they cannot represent those who elected them? – meaning that those areas have no representation. Is this legal? It is all too depressing for words – I hope they fight back. It is encouraging to see how many cases are being brought against the vaccine mandates in the US.
Isn’t democracy a wonderful thing?
Well, Latvia has form where fascism is concerned.
