A rare thing has just happened: common sense has prevailed.
Last week, the English Football Association (FA) ruled that Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho would face no charges for a social media post celebrating his teammate André Onana making a vital last-minute penalty save in a Champions League match. Why would he face charges for such a thing anyway? Because, hoping to praise Onana’s physical prowess, he also posted two gorilla emojis alongside a photo of the goalkeeper in question – who just happens to be a very large black man from Cameroon.
To his immense credit, Mr. Onana anticipated the inevitable FA-led witch-hunt against Garnacho that would follow if he stayed silent, quickly backing his team-mate with a post of his own:
Those are very sensible words: “People cannot choose what I should be offended by.” The trouble is, we no longer live in a terribly sensible world, and people are constantly going around deciding just that. This phenomenon does not yet seem to have acquired a specific name of its own, but I would like to propose we christen it ‘compelled offence’, the dark inverted twin of that other common scourge of contemporary discourse, ‘compelled speech’.
The FA’s approach in applying such compelled offence rules appears inconsistent, however. In 2009, the organisation banned Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva for one game and fined him £50,000 for a hastily-deleted tweet comparing a childhood photo of his then-team-mate and close friend Benjamin Mendy, a black Frenchman, to the ultra-cute brown-skinned mascot of a popular brand of Spanish chocolate-covered peanuts named Conguitos:
The golliwog-like Conguitos mascots, meaning ‘The Little Congolese’, have existed since 1961, causing little offence to most until 2020, when the death of George Floyd suddenly changed absolutely everything – even the hitherto obscure world of Spanish peanut advertising. The absurd hashtag #ConguitosLivesMatter began trending, and bizarre old images of blacked-up Spaniards cosplaying as the mascots were dredged up to shame the white race.
In their mascots’ defence, in 2020 the Spanish chocolate company Lacasa cited their “adorable nature” and frequent surveys proving the majority of Spanish consumers did not think the cartoons racist, but associated them with “fun times and positive energy”. Nonetheless, BLM campaigners began complaining that, even though the Spanish public were overwhelmingly not offended by them, they really ought to be. In the words of one “Afro-feminist communications expert” (you what?), the cartoon peanut-people were “a source of insult to an entire community” – i.e., all black people, everywhere.
But this just wasn’t true, was it? Unlike the professional peanut-haters of BLM Spain, back in 2019 Mendy himself was not remotely insulted, replying to Silva’s initial tweet with smiley face emojis. Mendy wrote a letter to the FA in Silva’s support, meaning even its own in-house offence-sniffers had to admit the post was not meant to be “insulting or in any way racist”, merely “a joke between close friends”. Nonetheless, the FA said, other random people who saw it “would have taken offence” on Mr. Mendy’s behalf; passing Afro-feminist communications experts, maybe.
“Can’t even joke with a friend these days,” complained Silva online, to which anti-racism in football organisation Kick It Out – whose entire continued existence presumably depends upon football appearing to remain absolutely chock-full of racism, even on occasions when it isn’t – responded that this was quite correct, such personal private relations were no longer allowed. “Racial stereotypes are never acceptable as ‘banter’,” Kick It Out said, knowing better than Mendy himself what he should and should not be upset by. The body then demanded “mandatory education” be given to Silva too, just to make sure he knew how to be friends with another adult human being in the correct, Stasi-approved, best-practice fashion.
Silva and Mendy’s black Manchester City teammate Raheem Sterling creditably said he didn’t think it was racist either, saying both Mendy and the Conguitos peanut-man had “both got small heads”, whilst their manager Pep Guardiola said it was just a standard piece of ‘lookey-likey’ humour. “The same thing happened a thousand million times with white people,” he argued. Indeed so – Gareth Bale is constantly compared to Donkey Kong with no threats whatsoever of any action being taken, unlike with André Onana.
By Kick It Out and the FA’s logic, the only chocolate mascot it would have been legitimate for Silva to jokily compare Mendy to would be the Milky Bar Kid. Then again, it turns out there is actually a white chocolate version of Conguitos on the market, whose front-of-package mascot looks just like the one in Silva’s original tweet, but albino. If Silva had been smart, his defence would actually have been “Whoops, I just posted the wrong sweet-wrapper”.
In 2021, another Manchester United player, Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, was banned for three matches and fined £100,000 after an acquaintance messaged him online to praise a recent match-winning display of his, to which Cavani innocently replied, in his native Spanish, “Gracias, Negrito”, translated in the British press as something like “Thanks, little black person!”
Immediately, the FA jumped in, eagerly labelling the post “insulting, abusive [and] improper”. And yet, the man at whom it was aimed did not feel it to be so – as far as can be told, he was not even black. Cavani himself called the phrase “an affectionate greeting to a friend”.
Actually, the word Negrito is a common term of endearment in Cavani’s native Uruguay, where it may refer merely to someone with dark hair or eyes. According to the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, Negrito is often even a “word used tenderly by married people, couples or people who want the best for each other”, throughout Latin America.
Hispanic Uruguayans were up in arms over the FA’s punishment of Cavani, accusing the organisation of being racist itself, or of “suffering a colonial hangover”, in which it arrogantly sought to “globalise meanings” of words, imposing English conceptions of what constituted racist terminology onto foreign phrases and strutting around telling native Spanish-speakers what Spanish really meant.
Even better, the Uruguayan players’ union issued a strongly-worded statement, bemoaning the FA’s arrogance about assuming compelled offence on their members’ behalf:
Far from condemning racism, the English FA has itself committed a discriminatory act against the culture and way of life of the Uruguayan people. The sanction shows the English FA’s biased, dogmatic and ethnocentric vision that only allows a subjective interpretation to be made from its particular and excluding conclusion, however flawed it may be… [T]hrough its sanction, the English Football Association expressed absolute ignorance and disdain for a multicultural vision of the world… To sustain that the only way to obtain a valid interpretation in life is that which lies in the minds of the managers of the English FA is actually a true discriminatory act, which is completely reprehensible and against Uruguayan culture.
And yet, despite clearly being in the right, Cavani chose not to appeal the FA’s ruling, meekly accepting his unjust punishment out of what he called “respect for the FA and the fight against racism in football”, even though he was in fact the one who had just suffered from this very thing.
Given the FA’s recent reverse-ruling regarding Onana and Garnacho, however, doesn’t the organisation now owe Mr. Cavani his £100,000 back? With the innocent Uruguayan being inaccurately punished as a racist in this way, I actually feel quite offended on the poor fellow’s behalf.

Same challenge as last time: Can someone provide a coherent, logical reason not to drop the restricitons, say, today? Why does 3 weeks matter? Why does 2 weeks matter? Which of the vulnerable have not been vaccinated? If they’ve been vaccinated who is at risk? Why does this risk magically dissappear in 3 weeks but not in 1? What is about the 19th of July that magically makes wedding partys not need to social distance?
These are hypotheticals to me, to be honest, I’ve not been following the restrictions for a while. But I’ve had a big family party cancelled.
Not one person has been ‘vaccinated’
Well, tbh, I’d be happy even with a credible and coherent account within the assumptions our government are making. but even within their assumptions, I cannot see why they think waiting 3 weeks matters? Other than it would be a massive loss of face to say “Oops, we didn’t really need to extend it, sorry.”
“Assumptions our government are making”. Well, your words suggest they are attempting to go through a logical thought process, related to public health, or any kind of thought process at all, when considering what to do next. It’s clear to me that the thought processes are entirely political – what spin can we come up with to prolong our unchallenged power?
Isn’t it obvious? Freedom will be denied as long as the shots are resisted. To never in our lifetimes return unless we do resist.
I think the end is power, not vaccination. Vaccination is just another way to exercise power.
In the end, yes.
Ultimate power at that.
Vaccination is just another PROFITABLE way to exercise power. Just ask Bill Gates. Boosters forever.
Except the shots will not return freedom, unless you consider death the ultimate freedom.
https://www.portugalresident.com/german-decision-to-refuse-entry-to-vaccinated-travellers-highlights-growing-inconsistencies-of-official-covid-narrative/
Cos it’s all about putting pressure on the young – now – to get the stabs. Politically, Boris thinks he can stretch it to the state school hols beginning.
Then it will all begin again for September, coercion for boosters.
This I guess?
Utterly meaningless unscientific twaddle is all that comes out of government mouths. We’ve returned to the dark ages. We need to wait until enough young maidens have a rabbit’s foot on a Tuesday with a full moon. Then we’ll all be OK. That would make as much sense as the shit currently being spouted.
Loss of face is the Elephant in their room. It’s the biggest weakness of politicians. They are desparately insecure (so go into a non productive job) and want constant reinforcement of how wonderful they are (hence the regular ‘relationship’ problems).
They think that making a mistake shows them up as just ordinary, which is all they are. But they don’t realise that admitting to mistakes is the normal adult response.
Having MPs with no effective commercial experience compounds this issue. The PPE graduate, who ‘worked’ as a SPAD to a Minister is possibly the worst possible qualification, They’ve lived their adult life in a bubble where groupthink is rife.
I have never woken up in the morning thinking “what I need today is a politician”. And I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one in the UK with that feeling.
The Sinovac test subjects may have been truly vaccinated. The ADE may be materialising now, just like it did in animal trials (when they used not be skipped).
Any evidence of the ADE?
10 more days till Freedom Day, Freedom Day, Freedom Day…
Mathew Hancock…
“Don’t forget to wear your masks”
Correct Sir!!
The Lambda variant has to go through the usual escalation for it to be used to excuse the post 19th July lockdown. They get too much pleasure from this process to rush it. It should be a ‘variant of concern’ by the end of the week.
How appropriate that Lambda should lead the sheep to the abbatoir…
As Orwell showed in 1984, the narrative doesn’t have to be coherent, it just needs to be the narrative: unchallengeable and compulsory.
Why for instance have we shifted in few months from children being terrible carriers of disease who can kill their grannies to children needing no vaccination to travel with their parents all over the world and bring back new variants?
None of the Covidian articles of faith make sense to me.
Nanny doesn’t like her children to have too much fun too soon. As Nanny knows, if we’re given too much rein there’ll be tears before bedtime.
because The Great Reset
wake up for fuck sake.
Tom much that I admire you I think you’re making a huge assumption that the restrictions are going to be lifted. All they are saying is they will be lifted as much as possible! Draw your own conclusions from that. Sorry but I don’t believe a word they say.
Nor me. The lifting of restrictions is not in the Great Reset plan. The playing with our minds until we all get vaccinated, is. The digital passports are one of the main goals to control our every move. They will keep promising ‘normality’ then backtracking until we are all cry let’s get the vaccine fgs and even then most travel will be off the cards as it doesn’t fit in with the green agenda of zero carbon. These people are nutters and fundamentally evil
My guess is they’re waiting for something to do with vaxports to be ready. 19 July is when vaxports go into use in the EU (and Northern Ireland). I suspect that they’re going to announce some sort of ID/vaxport scheme for the entire UK and it’s not ready yet.
Same horse different jockey
On the plus side I’m self identifying as a Javid family member and hope to win some big big contracts
Jockey? Or passenger?
Yeah, looks like Sajid Javid is just more of the same…
The same policies with a different complexion.
What did you expect?
Another one of those ‘fun loving libertarians’. Doesn’t bode well then.
“We are still in a pandemic,” he says.
MR JAVID – please present the evidence to back up that statement.
HINT – YOU CAN’T – BECAUSE THIS WAS NEVER A HEALTH EMERGENCY.
Oh, I’m sorry, I get it now. You’ve been on the phone to the virus; it’s resigning on 19th July, correct?
Lockdown should never have been imposed and should be ended immediately.
Dear Mr Javid, were you absent from duty when you very own Government downgraded this “virus event”; let me tell you, that was in March…..2020. Yes that’s right 15 months ago; tempted to ask where has your head been these last 15 months…
SJ is an ex investment banker friend of the satan worshiping wife of the supremely comprised PM. Don`t expect sunshine from this grey man.
“Allies of Sajid Javid say that his approach to Covid will be radically different to that of Matt Hancock’s because he is “much less ‘nanny state-ish’”. But today, the new Health Secretary is expected to tell Brits that July 5th is too early for “Freedom Day” to take place and that the nation’s unlock will have to be held off for at least a further two weeks.”
Too early, at least a further two weeks, radically different, 2+2=5.
If his “allies” are right , why did he vote in favour of all the nanny state restrictions?
He’s a company man and won’t rock the boat.
His appointment is an appeaser to the MP rebels to quell dissent amongst the ranks…till they realise he sings the same tune with different words.
I think that means he won’t screw the SPAD, not in his first week anyway.
It’s uplifting to see drink driving, drugs busts and anti social behaviour back in the news. Covid is such old hat. I just want to get back to talking about house prices and wall paper. A most heart felt big thank you to Matt Hancock for being a total twat and revealing to the quivering the nonsense of his own rules.
Say hello to the new boss, the same as the old boss!
Just another useless twat. What a waste of oxygen.
“Mr Javid will tell MPs that July 5th is not possible”….
Because?
As far as I can see he’s exactly like Wancock.
How can he know anything? What will he be ‘telling’? What he has been told to tell by SAGE and the Gates’ funded Imperial College.
Or just by Bill Gates?
Fucking hell, anyone remember the coneheads, I hope they were a force for good, I can’t remember.
The Coneheads were a force for good. They could fix your lawn mower and they put on a great fireworks display. They disapproved of teenagers having tatoos.

Hey, Fortran is not the only language abused by Imperial College. All the other languages deserve our support, too!
Come on, be fair to these lackeys for Big Pharma. The longer they can delay freedom day the more it looks as though Covid-19 is still very dangerous – and that is the aim.
Besides, there’s still plenty of small to medium size businesses that need to go to the wall so that the globalists can prosper. The background fear must be maintained until the Autumn when the virus and deadly variants will magically re-appear with a vengeance, along with “booster” shots available at your local supermarket car park.
Clever monkeys. But not as clever as they think as more and more of us wake up.
Yes!!
Hope you’re right about the waking up. Her indoors and I went into MK shopping centre yesterday and it was very very depressing, apart from us we only saw two other people not wearing muzzles and I’m sure it’s getting worse. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Yeah they are all the same and dance to the same tune for the Global Reseters. Sajid will be preparing himself for his place in the Global elite power gravy train.
The goal is to keep this going until everyone is jabbed and tagged in preparation for the financial reset.
The only solution is fast becoming French Revolution style…
All of the Governement’s medical and scientific advisers are lockdown enthusiasts. What’s more, they now view lockdown as the status quo, and anything else as a daring and risky enterprise. Therefore whether it’s 5th July, 19th July, or 29th August, there will never be a time when these people are happy for the country to unlock. Indeed, many of them would be happier with reimposing more restrictions. They won’t be at all placated by waiting until 19th July, and the moment we unlock fully and supposedly finally, they will be right across the mainstream media warning of a fourth wave and thousands of deaths, and won’t stop until restrictions are reimposed in September.
Dingwall has been pressing to reopen sooner
Yes indeed. He has been a lone voice of sanity over the past six months among the ‘experts’. However he is a lone voice and easily ignored. It’s possible, of course, that Dingwall is just another element of controlled opposition.
Johnson isn’t even pretending we will ‘unlock fully’ any more- ‘as close as possible’ to live before Covid is basically what he’s saying now, so as we now know from 16 months of this he’s saying absolutely nothing because he could deem where we are now to be ‘as close as possible’. There’s really no point listening to anything he says.
…as close as possible means with ongoing tests; proof of being injected – multiple times – and missing a booster will negate the previous history of compliance (the individuals will have to build back better to regain their former injection status); and conforming to every stupid whim the government and advisors tell us to do…
Sit and listen to yourselves, your using their talk! Your defeated. The cuffs are locked
Here in the USA where I live, restrictions in most of the country have been fully lifted, however I do not feel that that is going to last. I feel come fall once so called cases go up, restrictions will be reimposed again regardless of vaccination status here in USA come fall. They are still shoving case counts in our faces in the news everyday and there are now articles harping on and on about this Delta Variant in the states with our so called experts saying this so called variant is of utmost concern right now. COVID restrictions are permanent I’m afraid with the mind games and psychological torture at times of getting everyone to think we are fully back to normal only to lockdown again. Feel very much like you do.
Makes you laugh now the lies and obvious nonsense. He wont be making any decisions he will be told what to say and do and what to implement when. The next puppet to replace the last one. Just a fresh face to try and keep up the brainwashing of the masses.
“We are still in a pandemic”
Only if you distort language out of all recognition. A pandemic that doesn’t reach the official definition of an ‘epidemic’ is a peculiar one indeed.
For those dreamers who might have thought otherwise : Javid is just as much a devious Cupid Stunt as Handycock.
A ‘variant of concern’.
Must get that T-shirt
Rick, you have just outed yourself as a Yorkshireman. Tha hasn’t seen Fon, has tha? I know it’s a big place, but he’s out there somewhere still hoping for the pubs to open properly, and I’m worried about his mental health if they never do.
“The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.”
Taibbi.
As an ex-alumni of the squid along with Rishi, He is a paid up member of the globalist clan. Handy-cock was a mere trainee in comparison.
Vampire squid? Isn’t that the government? Or any government anywhere for that matter.
How the hell does he know anything about this? This man is another willing puppet.
Boris wants to defend Matt Hancock. He says he was social distancing as Gina’s legs were two metres apart.
Javid will say exactly the same as Hancock.
The Sunday Times Magazine yesterday gave Whitty the front cover and a five-page article inside. The cover describes Whitty as ‘Captain sensible’ and the subtitle ‘Chris Whitty has emerged as Britain’s most powerful unelected official. Who is this quiet man leading the war on Covid?’ Ben Spencer’s article inside concludes ‘By putting in its chief medical officer, it seems the government is finally following the science.’
Will Patrick Vallance get the same PR treatment in next week’s magazine?
Sorry: ‘By putting [trust] in its chief medical officer…’
Some Michie rubbish in there as well.
She is another weirdo zombie from a different galaxy…

Since I noticed The Netherlands is absent from the news round-up on this site, I would like to add some of my observations about the situation here. Since Saturday 26th June, most of the restrictions have been lifted, including the limits on gatherings, masks indoors, number of customers in shops etc. Restrictions still remaining are masks on public transport and in airports, 1.5m antisocial distancing, and participation in mass events like concerts might be conditioned on having the jab or a test. I have to admit that I was dismayed how fast the Dutch complied with the mask mandate imposed on 1 Dec. However, I was never challenged while doing a chin dangling and recently, not wearing a mask at all in most shops. However, the biggest surprise is how fast the Dutch dropped the masks, from 100% compliance on Friday, to maximum 10% on Saturday. I guess all the official opinion polls stating 70% of people want to restrictions to continue was just hogwash.

When are enough people going to realise that ‘they’ themselves, hold the key to unlocking?
It is not for another to tell you what to do and when. Unless you willingly yield to their superior intellect, and who demonstrates wisdom and genuine knowledge, of which you can then respect and agree with.
Since when has the shower who have been running the show for the past eighteen months shown any of these attributes?
If you want lockdown to end, just turn the key and walk away. It’s so easy.
Does anyone know why daily vaccination rates are falling? Down 40% from May.
The younger people left un-lanced realise it’s vastly more dangerous to get stabbed with the clotting agent than the disease.
Also been vastly more impoverished by lockdown than the boomer parasites.
and the lies and the bullshit roll on, new day same shit.
So much for a change of policy. Yet another liar.
Psychopaths with an agenda.
Mr Javid said yesterday: “We are still in a pandemic and I want to see that come to an end as soon as possible and that will be my most immediate priority, to see that we can return to normal as soon and as quickly as possible.”
What pandemic, where? Based on what exactly, all the bodies piling up in the street? Based on 600 million LOST tests? News for you Jabid, people have left that room and have switched the light off!
“Jabid”, love it.
Rabid Jabid?
Savage jabbage?
Globalists don’t do populism. They do do lies. The claim they favour free speech as they censor. They claim they are not racist as they promote racism. They claim they are concerned for people’s health as they make people sicker. They claim they are patriots as they dismantle our culture and our borders.
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Someone linked to this yesterday. Good stuff from Alex Berenson, not least his emphasis on that fact that in country after country where the mass vaccination programme has been introduced, the death rate from Covid and number of cases shoots up. This well established fact is totally ignored by the MSM and the various health authorities in assessing the “success” of the vaccines.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/
You can scroll down to the two parts of Vaccines: Reasons for Concern.
Watched a clip of Sarah Gilbert, designer of the Oxford vaccine, getting a standing ovation at Wimbledon.
Every comment was of the laudatory, well- deserved, wottahero kind.
All I could think of were the blood clots and other injuries and deaths. Maybe she was the same – she looked rather confused and embarrassed.
As said earlier today, Javid is simply a fresh face to keep this bandwagon rolling. The Madcock drama was all theatre to create the transition. Many of us saw Madcock was the weakest link right from the beginning, and it was only a matter of time before he would be replaced.
I’m disappointed he has gone. Him staying would probably have been better for us. Better to have a known liar and hypocrite, to make it obvious they are engaged in wrongness, than a slicker talker who hides this better.
It would have been best if he had stayed after the snoggate revelations but it was never going to happen.
Agreed – the more reckless and brazen Hancock got the easier it was for us to point out the hypocrisy. Sajid Covid is far more clinical and quiet with the job he does and will appear far more professional.
In other news, an illegal rave. Steyning illegal rave: Dozens arrested as thousands party in national park – BBC News Well, lockdownsceptics.org did anticipate this. Bingo!
Just seen a huge online advert for the latest Network Rail safety campaign – “Beware the bubble”. It features a hapless pair, both smothered by a muzzle, getting dangerously close to a passing train (on an open-air platform) because they’re in “a bubble”, oblivious to what’s going on around them.
If satire didn’t die when Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize, it certainly f*cking died today.
‘Meet the new boss, same as the old boss’ – The Who (Won’t Get Fooled Again)
Sorry to rain on your party but Javid voted with the Government on all the Lockdown votes etc. He is a Politician and as we have learned from this entire sorry debacle Politicians in this country and frankly throughout the western world, care only for their own careers and self aggrandisment. Now Javid is part of the magic circle he will adopt the ways, the cover ups, the lies in order to protect the Party.
We might get some release in July, but the plague Island story that frankly that sour old B—h Merkle is playing out, has been constructed by this Government, to the people of this countries detriment not to any politicians. Merkle and Macron are playing politics because of Brexit, again to the detriment of the citizens of Europe that rely on British tourists for their living.
I think Politics in the western world has now reached a stage where the players are so morally corrupt, so far removed from the people thay are supposed to represent that any credibility or authority they had no longer exists.
Javid might throw a few crumbs but frankly he won’t return freedoms, he won’t stop the “vaccine program”. things will continue as they were.
SJ had to go and spoil it all didn’t he!
He definitely sounds on for Release Day on 19 July (dammit) but out came the B.B.B wink to The Master.
I’ll not rest until they chuck out the Coronavirus 2020 Act though, and forget any ideas about future lockdowns.
Makes no difference to me: I’m not observing any rules and I’ve got my Ivermectin but until all my acquaintances are given the official ok, I won’t have a social life.
Where the hell did you get Ivermectin from?
So, if they can only vaccinate us with experimental MRNA under emergency usage laws and lockdowns can only be enforced using emergency laws then you cant give one without keeping the other. I.e. No lockdowns = no ability to give us the shots. Ergo, the lockdowns will not end whilst they still want to vaccinate everyone.
If you turned Rabid Javid upside down, wouldn’t his head look exactly the same?
…as his arse?
…and the same crap coming out of either end.
They’re lying. We’re not going back to “normal,” not with continued T&T contracts for another 12 months.
They’re not going to let us out.
So he’s much less nanny state-ish? Still not a libertarian then?
Maybe Goering was less totalitarian than Himmler…
I watched his speech, it contained the following phrase “Build Back better”
OMG.
Just as I predicted. No doubt I was not alone.
The mans an arsehole! Does he not realise we are ignoring all that shit now.
Deluded with so called power!
Won’be be July 5th.. ot the 19th..
Savid Javid is WEF/Great Reset.
And the longer this Davos COUP goes on.. the more foolish those of you who cannot see this DAVOS GRETA GREEN GATES CHARLES STANLEY ROCKERFELLER coup for what it is look.. worse.. some of the scum pushing the coup and vaccines want depopulation, they want to cull the herd..
Reminds me of the scene in Halloween III (1978).

Mathew Hancock…
“Easing” – is not an end.
“back to life as it was before Covid as far as possible.” – could mean no change at all.
Weasel words.
Headline should read
Health Secretary Sajid Javid Set to Rule Out Unlocking on July 5th or at any other time
‘life before Covid as far as possible’?? Typical weasel words. Of course it’s fucking possible you flabby, pasty bedwetter. It’s been possible ever since before the first lockdown, which should never have happened.
This country and indeed much of the world is looped in a cycle of fear. We are still treating Covid as if it were the bubonic plague. Even when we do open up millions of people will either stay in their homes or start lambasting their fellow citizens for not wearing face muzzles. The messaging needs to change but to do that politicians and the scientists advising them need to admit that they have exaggerated the threat all along. We will be back in lockdown by the autumn.
Sajid Javid: Different actor; different style; same script!
“We are still in a pandemic”, that bit made me laugh. Nothing will change with this stooge, the agenda marches on.
As soon as he uttered ‘Build back better’, I knew that we had jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. Has been to Davos, so ‘vaccinated’ by Schwab. The leaked documents purporting to be from Pantsdown Ferguson about permanent lockdown from September, Reuters say are false, but I don’t trust them either. Time will tell I suppose, but we are well on our way to totalitarianism.
He is no different to Hancock, maybe not as much in your face but still part of the Global Reset elite. They are not going to give up controlling us without a fight.
He’s already condemned himself as another government stooge by delaying opening our country up.
Tear down quicker.
