Who says it’s not Tiananmen? I hope one day these brave people will have statues, they inspired the world.
Yes, indeed. They are brave against lots of ‘police’ ready muzzled and fully equipped with Star Wars gear, posted in to ‘quell’ them (as if they needed any ‘quelling’).
Today someone made a video (posted on Yootoob) that shows two UN passenger aircraft at North Bay.
It’s worse than that. If what supposedly gives us the confidence to open up is falling infections*, then all it will take is a rise in infections* to bring back restrictions.
They may suspend “free” tests and the obligation to isolate for now. But they are definitely going to keep the tests in places like hospitals. They will use hospital tests like a canary in the mine. The moment they start going up in hospitals, they’ll bring them bask in the general population.
That is the basis of the new order that has been put in place in the last two years. The state has given itself the authority from now on to monitor the population for diseases, just like we do with animals, force testing if necessary and force treatments it considers appropriate.
We have been reduced to the status of cattle and it has happened just like Huxley predicted: we’ve asked for this servitude and we love it.
(* a positive coronavirus test)
Even if they were infections – seriously folks have we forgot we are now dealing with what amounts to the common cold? Mind I will continue to support Will, as he and others on this site are some of the few standing up against this madness.
Yes. After all this time!!!!!!
Yep, really angry at a so called sceptic site constantly deploying the enemies warped terminology and fake stats against us. All we can do is keep calling it out.
Cut him some slack – at least he didn’t call them ”cases”.

So anti-government solidarity over the internet wasn’t as easy as many mistakenly thought.
It’s a bit like thinking you can act in solidarity with other people by leaving messages for them at the local police station or Pinkerton office.
Still time to work up a good panic
Shocking clot shot uptake figures, I naively thought there might at least be a bit more reluctance to get the booster. Bozo’s exhortations worked well.
I wouldn’t take that percentage at face value. The Government persist on using the wrong data for the total population which makes it look as if more people have had the gene jab than is actually the case.
I hope you’re right, it’s disturbing how gullible people are, even on this site.
As always, I’d like to see the total number of test that gives these figures… I’d be surprised if anywhere near as many people are testing themselves now?
Indeed, the Zoe project is not yet showing a fall in incidence. It’s curious how much longer it’s taking for these waves to subside, compared to the spikes of 2-4 weeks in low income countries.
“Waves” of what? Isn’t it all somewhat meaningless? Have we ever before micromeasured people feeling poorly in this way?
Spector read Spectre – taken over ages ago by the covid establishment I suspect. 007 may be just what is needed!
Actually, there’s no mystery why the Zoe count takes longer to subside. They use a 14 day moving average, which will appear to stretch out the outbreak. Currently in my area their estimate of active “cases” is dropping by roughly 1/14 every day, suggesting that there are now few new “cases”.
A rellie of mine who watches FaceAcheBook (but doesn’t partake) says she is appalled just how many people seem to be completely in thrall to ‘testing’ – even comparing results, with a ‘mine’s bigger than yours’ mentality.
I’m watching Hull FC v St. Helen’s. Nothing to do with this story, I just want to see if I get a down vote.
There is a sad individual who scans every post for a couple of hours downticking each one without commenting.
A psychologically impaired bedwetter who is too much of a coward to reply.
I hope your team wins.
I have upticked you.
Let the Phantom Downticker do his worst.
I’m doing better than my team, Hull.
Come on folks, give the poor downticker soul a break – just a burdened individual who needs our pity surely?
If this was a woke website, they would respond by removing the ability to downvote
There’s a new variant of concern emerging among internet users – Down Syndrome.
As a fellow Hull FC supporter, have an uptick
This was always a pandemic of tests.
We never had mass testing for flu or the common cold.
Stop all testing and if you have symptoms do what people have done for thousands of years, look after yourself and try not to spread it to anyone else.
We don’t need a label for every virus.
A thousand times, yes!
All of us must have been told as children not to hug and kiss our grandparents when we had a cold (especially if they themselves were unwell). We weren’t traumatised, masked and tested within an inch of our lives – we were taught gentle lessons about thoughtfulness and behaving responsibly.
They are labelling them in the same way they now label bad weather – to make them stand out from the normal pattern of events and give them unwarranted importance.
Tests aren’t cases.
We are the 8.6%.
That figure is false.
It’s the figure quoted in the article ……
“Vaccination data shows 91.4% of people aged 12 and over have had at least one Covid vaccine,”
Please link to the data that shows the figure which you believe to be correct.
This is the trouble with this ‘sceptic’ site. It continually quotes lies as if they are facts, and sceptics believe them because it was on this site. January Surveillance Report said this…
I think you will find that we take all official figures with a pinch of salt.
Unfortunately they are the only ones we have.
This site has constantly stated that the official figures for the unjabbed are understated which makes the effectiveness of the jabs look better than they really are.
“The Prime Minister is set to unveil his blueprint for ‘living with Covid’ on Monday…”
Why would we need a “blueprint” to “live with” a bit of a sniffle? This idiotic idea is at the root of our troubles.
It’s the official announcement of the new order.
If we were returning back to normal life, there would be no need to set out a blueprint.
We are about to be informed that unlike previously when our health was our own business and no one else’s, the state is now ultimately in charge of our health and will step in to dictate how we live our lives whenever it considers necessary.
Everyone will applaud it as sensible and will celebrate that the UK is once again ahead of its European neighbours.
Yep.
More Bozo BS, he probably gets pep talks from Terdeau.
The figure of 91.4% injected is a lie, and the DS editorial staff know it. Last months surveilance report showed that less than 70% were injected.
This lie is being repeated to make us appear small in number, and thereby undermine our resolve.
The resistance is 15 million strong. .
Those stats are three months old and before Bozo started spouting about mumbo jumbo, has much changed since then?
The stats are a month old. Do you really think ten million resistors went and got their first injections last month?
They are reported SARSCoV2 infections, not “Covid infections”.
No, they are reporting SARSCov2 test results, at what CT value we know not.
Its not just the CT value thats the problem. Its also the type of probes and primers used, and the fact the Lighthouse Labs are asserting a positive result based on single gene testing.
Yes and this is all due to the great vaccine rollout.
Credit to our great government and our magnificent Scientists.
That is about as credible as the 91.4% of people over 12 having had at least one “vaccine”.
Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the act that err, viruses actually do what they always do. I think it’s called nature and we mess about with things beyond our comprehension at our peril.
All we have done is to accelerate the number of future variants available to infect the vaxxed who, courtesy thereof, now enjoy compromised immune systems.
GVB.

I appreciate DS should report this sort of information but my reaction is:
Am I bovvered?
Now that it would appear that three dissidents have been murdered by the Canadian Police all mention of Ottawa has been removed from the BBC News website
The Canada story has been replaced by an item informing us that some crabs and lobsters have been killed by the joke storm
I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch any BBC media (TV, radio, website) since March 2020. It would make me physically sick.
Interestingly the Beeb still allows any answers contributors to speak truth to power, today’s had almost everyone siding with Putin and against ‘NATO’ aka the US military industrial complex/State Department and the EU. Only a couple of those phoning in were of the ‘the only good Red is a dead Red’ type who fails to see the issue from the POV of the country who doesn’t yet have a US occupying force but would rather not become one.
I’ve read a very interesting post by Tom Luongo, that suggests it’s all a bit more complicated than Russia vs The West.
He makes a good argument that the big winner is the EU, which is actually looking to gain influence at the expense of the US.
I have scanned the local Ottawa press/TV output and there is not one mention of casualties. Just support of the police operation. The cover up is in full operation.
Bit disappointed with MTF and leek performance today – they’ve not managed to even try and pick irrelevant holes in a Will Jones article.
I am suffering from RSI so very limited typing. Anyway Will has only repeated the Mail article which reports good news about the epidemic. No problem!
It’s been a painful couple of years and sometimes its hard to imagine people will ever see the light. I live in Wales and when I to go the supermarket (masks are still mandated here) I just despair. I feel like I live in a parallel universe. I guess this is human nature and would be repeated should we have another pandemic. Acceptance and a calm silence helps me cope when I find it hard to swim upstream and share my views.
HRA Reform – Tips for responding
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/human-rights-act-reform-a-modern-bill-of-rights/human-rights-act-reform-a-modern-bill-of-rights-consultation
Some points you might like to consider, and paraphrase in your own response if you resonate with these:
1. The “Modern Bill of Rights” you propose MUST NOT contradict, contravene, or in any way reduce the rights of any human being already established in UK’s existing body of laws. If it does, it will be unconstitutional in whole or in part.
2. The most important human right is bodily integrity. That means NO bodily interference without fully informed consent, freely given. The right to bodily integrity, therefore, MUST be included as an UNQUALIFIED right in any “Modern Bill of Rights.”
3. Attempts to prevent frivolous or dubious human rights claims (for example, a sociopathic/psychopathic killer wishing to avoid extradition/deportation by claiming a right to family life, his family being his cat or dog) MUST be addressed only by the discretion and wisdom of the courts, on a case by case basis and NOT by prescriptive legislation, because the latter will inevitably lead to unintended consequences (for example, if society became conditioned in the future to believe that mass vaccination was more important than bodily integrity or informed consent, then a “permission stage” could block access to legitimate and important claims from individuals who believe in bodily integrity and informed consent.
These are just a few ideas, if you’re concerned about your MEDICAL FREEDOM being compromised.The above can be integrated into your responses within the online process, answering specific questions OR can be emailed as a freeform response.
If emailing, begin with a sentence to introduce your response (“I’m responding to the consultation on the HRA Reform proposal….. I’m a [mum/student/teacher/electrician/etc]……. I feel it’s important to….. etc”) and conclude with a sentence thanking for the opportunity and entrusting the recipient to carefully consider what you’ve written (“thanks for your time, I’m sure you will consider each response carefully/respectfully/….. future society depends on the decisions we make today/etc”)

The truckers have won, for the govn, Trudeau never negotiated with them and had to resort to brute force to move them and get them out…no negotiation, just brute force, so in effect, the government has lost fully; you have to look at the big picture here…
These vaccines have placed our police and military in a very harmful situation and I will write it knowing the implications as a global scientist heavily worked and knowledgeable in COVID; it is my opinion that many of our police and soldiers will have medium and long term consequences of the vaccines and up to death; many have died from these already and the vaccine makers, nor CDC or NIH have ensured the proper studies to rule out the harms and risks.
I fear for our police and military and they were mislead and lied to by the public health officials at Health Canada and PHAC, as well as the provincial public health people under Premier Doug Ford.

And if they stopped this ridiculously pointless ‘testing’ then it would disappear from the eyes of men (and the others) completely.
When nearly 90% of our population are vaccinated there are bound to be more of them infected and with other effects from Covid than the low numbers of unvaccinated. To give this information honestly the poportionality of vaccinated and unvaccinated needs to be applied to the graphs and data. I am strongly against giving the Vaccine to under 16 children, although am fully vacinated myself and am not pro or anti vaccine in adults. It will take at least two years to discover whether long term effects of the vaccines are worth their massive expense and profits handed to the big pharma companies whose only objective is profit.
