About time too. Good to see some protests finally heading for where the news cameras are, be on best behavious and keep the mesage simple “vaccine passports are a step too far and a dangerous form of tyranny”, “do you want your life run by an app which will also record parking fiens, debts and criminal records?”. Don’t question the vaccine itself, media will use that against you, but go hard on defiance against passports plots. This is not a negotiation. Make it clear that if this country tries to implement vaccine passports it will start a descent in to anarchy, because the day that happens no state made law can be considered uncontaminated by the vaxport programme.

Those individuals who are prepared to opportunistically use the vaxxport to gain inequitable advantage over others (for admission to venues, travel or securing promotion and job security at work) should also be challenged. Until these people are made aware that they will be regarded as fully complicit (and therefore ultimately answerable) in this state led breach of inalienable human rights then protests will go nowhere.
The same psy-op psychology has to be harnessed and used, except in reverse.
This is war.

Agree- I had the vaccine because I didn’t want to cause my wife, (who’s business involves care), any grief, but I’ve never carried the card around and I will never present it to gain access to a pub or entertainment venue. This is causing me grief as my wife doesn’t think it’s a big problem and always has her card with her, (for work). She would rather put up with this than miss out on family gatherings and the like but for me it’s the principle- I simply won’t accept that someone else can ‘allow’ me to enter a building simply by showing proof of being .jabbed’.

I have a similar issue about visiting my elderly mother in her care home. I declined the vaccine, for all the obvious reasons and despite my wife’s consternations that like her I should, so am prevented from seeing my mother, *DESPITE* having Power of Attorney for her health and wellbeing, *and* having (reluctantly) allowed her to have the vaccine *despite* her having had and recovered from covid, and *despite* neither asymptomatic transmission nor mask wearing having any scientific support!

It’s an interesting legal question; does the PoA trump the govt regulations?

I believe there was a test case a while back – a man with POA refused to give consent for his demented mother to be given the vaccine in her care home, but a judge over-ruled it, I think because his POA did not specifically rule out vaccinations.

It as at least circling the approximate vicinity of honesty to phrase getting experimented on as being “for the team”, i.e. Pfizer and AstraZenica.

And what’s a little myocarditis, pericarditis or brain clotting if it gifts you the opportunity to present your Social Credit Score app and beg the State for permission every time you travel, work, recreate, transact or interact for the rest of your life?

PS: good luck paying off the bill for the 18 month extended holiday that your country has been enjoying.

Re. “paying the bill”: a programme of mass civilian tax refusal may be a good idea here. “We didn’t ask for lockdown, let its supporters pay for it”. See how many people still support lockdown when they alone are asked to pay up for it.

Oh, that’s a splendid idea, I’ve simply being ignoring mine. Last I checked though, NHS Scotchland had recorded my first dose as being “Completed” anyway.

My suspicion is that actually taking the experimental medical procedures is largely irrelevant. As long as the cronies get paid for them, and as long as we’re inculcated to use the Social Credit Score apps to beg for permission, mission accomplished.

I’d be more approving of things meant to directly harm the companeis working on vaccine passport development, rather than disrupting a perfectly morally fine programme of vaccinations themselves. Those who don’t want vacciens should act so as to make it harder for those willing to be jabbed to be so, we should act in such a way as to ensure everyone, especially the jabbed, is willing to rise up against passports. Disrupt the politicians, disrupt the app, disrupt the propaganda sources, but don’t target the frontline of medical interventions.

Anyone with a brain can work out that this drive to vaccinate ‘everybody’ with an experimental concoction has no basis in science or medicine. There is absolutely no precedent – and certainly not for an infection of such moderate effects in the vast majority of cases. It is simply allowing commercial interests and sociopathic significance seekers liberty to run riot in society.

It’s absolutely professional, just not from his profession: It’s professional PR trying to not-so-subtly patronize those considered to be weak-minded enough for this to work. “COVID phrases” are international and probably come from some central PR agency. I got some fun out of the typically clumsy attempts to translate them into German.

Eg, Johnson’s “data not dates” didn’t come from him. The German health minister tried to use it as well: “Wir sollten uns jetzt nicht an Daten orientieren.” Problem with this: The German Datum (date) has no plural form. Translated back into English, the German sentence really means “We shouldn’t care about data now.”

That’s obviously as COVID as it can possibly get, albeit unintentionally. 🙂

There’s a scene at the end of the film ‘The Whistleblower’ starring Michael Caine where he finds out his son has been bumped off by GCHQ and it’s all been covered up. It ends with him shooting the minister responsible and then standing on Whitehall looking at the cenotaph and saying ‘I wish I could believe in England again.’ That’s sort of how I feel, only without the satisfaction of having shot anybody responsible!

“A game of two jabs”

Tut, tut. More lies. He’s forgetting the two halves of extra time (third jab, fourth jab) and of course penalties – fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth ad infinitum jabs until people wake up or drop dead, whichever comes first.

I’ve always operated on the basis that the harder someone has to sell a product, the less beneficial for me it’s likely to be.

Nothing I’ve seen in the last year has made me want to change my approach when it came to vaccines.

I’m watching the mens final at Wimbledon, by far the vast majority of the crowd are unmasked, but some of the officials are masked. I assume because the officials are standing and the crowd are sitting. This virus is very intelligent, not only can it tell if somebodies sitting or standing it can also read a calendar.

I’d like to think that in 10 years or less people will look at the stupidity thats going on today, laugh and say how daft and gullible people are (I can live in hope).

I saw somewhere yesterday (might have been on here) that you had to take a negative LFT before attending and go online to record your result but they wouldn’t accept PCR done in a lab.

I’m not sure those who escaped from the death camps of Germany had a laugh about it later.

I’m far less than ten years, it is my belief that most of those you saw on TV & most of us here will be dead.
Nothing else makes sense.
Unless you think destroying several G20 economies, a handful of reserve currencies & herding tens of millions onto a Vaxpass system is pure entertainment.

I just saw a panic killer Rona ad from Australia on Ivor Cummins’ Twitter. I know we talk about fear porn a lot but this was genuinely obscene. A young, slim woman literally squealing in a hospital bed. It looked and sounded like a rape/snuff porn fantasy. Utterly, utterly sick.

It requires two opposing teams to have a game. I’m on the other team; the unvaccinated one. Still a team player.

I’m sure Scott Mercier was not classed as a team player by the moral equivalents of Stephen Powis when Scott turned his back on the US Postal cycling team and refused to dope up.

Nothing good about being a team player when the team is rotten to the core. And team vaccinated haven’t got much going for them.

From the DT live fee:
“Vaccinations postponed due to anti-lockdown protestVaccinations at a site in Brighton have been postponed following anti-lockdown demonstrations in the city.
Protestors surrounded a vaccination bus on the seafront on Saturday, pictures on social media suggest.
NHS Brighton and Hove CCG announced that vaccinations on Hove Lawns were postponed on Sunday “to ensure that everyone is able to receive their vaccine safely and without any pressure put upon them”.
The healthcare provider said its staff “experienced disruption during the anti-lockdown measures protest in the city”.”

Said without a hint of irony…………

Slightly different tack: Neighbours asked if I was going to watch the football, after telling them no, I added that I do not do COMPULSARY ENTHUSIASM AND ORGANISED “FUN” whether it’s Children in need, Red nose day, Sport and most of all; Lockdown loyalty.
Needless to say, I’m not Mr Popular, but then, us sceptics never were, were we?

I wish there wasn’t but there’s a conspiracy. It’s huge & global and not the slightest bit theoretical.
Everything we’re told is a lie. To my frustration most believe it. It’s odd, as you’ve not believed politicians for the past several decades.

Sure, Tanzania. No jabs, subsistence economy which continues when the power goes off, which is mostly.
I doubt there’s anywhere we’d think of as civilised which will stay that way for long once the internet coughs. I expect the WEF will spring that of us. The more dependent we are, the harder & more brutal the fall.
Saying that, who wants to survive what’s coming? Why?

I know what you mean, but as the saying goes, the best revenge is living well.

I believe there will be unintended consequences to what is underway and those who are able to come together and survive will be in a better position that you suspect. It’s just a question of where to ride out the storm!

I really don’t want to believe there’s a conspiracy either. I don’t want to believe the WEF set want us to own nothing, live in hovels and eat nothing but dung beetles. I would like dearly to tell all the people promoting this to take their anti-psychotics and seek treatment.

But how else can you explain it? How else can you explain the constant, almost daily, lies? How else can you explain the arbitrary, draconian measures that make absolutely no logical or scientific sense?

What’s clear is that we’re ruled by some very evil, very spiteful ‘people’

Maybe because they bullied him at school. He seems the type. Narcissistic sociopaths like Gates tend to fixate on slights to their ego, like that. It doesn’t matter to people like Gates that they’re immensely intelligent, successful and have more money than they’d know what to do with. No, they must get their own back for that time in primary school when one of the other kids kicked them into the dirt or something

These people have nothing but disdain for the rest of us. Money didn’t bring this out of them, it was always there. Having money just accentuated it.

Be a team player: ‘Papiere, bitte!’

This country is receiving a major wake up call.

If you have a massive state sector, they have to find things for themselves to do.

Who are these people, all paid for by the state (the taxpayer: us) who keep popping up on state broadcasting? What do they all do do (their job titles suggest not much at all, really!)?

We are living the big state dream, Blair’s Britain.

This has been a long time coming and, without geopolitical shock, is not going away.

Blair’s Britain.

Nowhere to hide.

The precautionary principle was introduced into Health policy by the Blair government via the eu in 2000:

‘While in the first instance, it was only the EU’s environmental policy that was to be based on the precautionary principle, this principle has since then flowed into other areas of EU law, including notably the protection of public health. This has, to a significant degree, been a result of the influence of the ‘environmental integration obligation’ in Article 11 TFEU which provides that ‘environmental protection requirements must be integrated into the definition and implementation of the Union’s policies and activities, in particular with a view to promoting sustainable development. The European Commission adopted a Communication on the Precautionary Principle in 2000.’

So, what happens now that England lost?

Personally, I reckon that the c*nts in power over us take this as an opportunity to smack on more restrictions, to demoralise people further.

How to control people: First, make them afraid. Second, demoralise them. Third, …?

“Yes, we’d love to go easy on you, make you feel a little less shit, but THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOUR LITTLE MOODS – CASES ARE RISING, AND YOU NEED TO KNOW IT’S BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T WEAR YOUR MASKS IN THE PUB! OK, PLEBS?”
