Anyone who uses a vax pass is participating in medical apartheid and should be ashamed of themselves.
Well said, especially using one to get into bloody Luxembourg.
It’s really simple now. Don’t wear a mask, don’t take the vaccine. Ever.
While I have this comment box open, do you remember the classic movie, The Omega Man, with Charlton Heston. I keep thinking about that movie. And the moment, where his ally, the woman of colour (I don’t recall her name), gets back to his apartment, and unwraps her scarf, to reveal that she too has become one of the zombies/vaccinated, and that chilling line: ‘Matthias sent me’. If you know it, you know what I’m talking about.
That’s all I hear these days when I read about someone else who has succumbed to the mask/vaccine madness: ‘Matthias sent me’.
Ok, that’s it, carry on.
Meanwhile in Austria (according to something I heard of yesterday): Police out in masses everywhere to hunt for unvaccinated in shops and other prohibited places. They’ve brought this on themselves! How dare they exercise a choice with THIS situation in the hospitals!
[THIS situation typically being someone claims something really bad will happen in a few weeks if his conjectures should turn out to be true for the first time, although I have no specific information on that]
Thanks for the nice article.

Fuck Luxem…….. fuck it, can’t even be bothered to spell it
Well that just confirms that my decision not to have a foreign holiday was the right one
Correct, even having a holiday in dear old Blighty feels foreign nowadays.
Carrots in baked beans for breakfast! Weird!
Perhaps they should rename it “the paranoid inn” instead of Novotel.
Lovely writing Russell thank you the good old British sense of humour always prevails.
I went there on a school trip decades ago. It was shut. Good article, especially the following observation:
“Public health zealots now run the world, enabled by craven politicians, an alarmist media and dubious Big Tech organisations. Having travelled to five European countries in the last 16 months, I’ve noticed the screws getting tighter, not looser. (So much for the miraculous vaccines getting us back to normal!) It’s moderate tyranny dressed up in nurses’ scrubs. The lands we thought the most civilised have enacted the most authoritarian controls. But then wasn’t this the case in the 1930s, when one of the world’s most sophisticated nations started a cataclysmic conflict?”
