Minister Refuses to Rule Out Forcing Pubs to Check Vaccine Passports

by Michael Curzon
20 July 2021 10:42 AM

A minister has refused to rule out the prospect of the Government barring unvaccinated Brits from pubs.

Business Minister Paul Scully told Sky News that officials are “not saying crowded pubs at all” as part of plans to introduce vaccine passport checks at nightclubs and other large venues. This is hardly comforting, given the Vaccines Minister’s toing and froing on the matter. Scully confirmed that “we’re not ruling anything out” and admitted that more clarity is needed. Sky News has more.

When it was put to him that some pubs can be as crowded as nightclubs, Mr Scully told Sky News the Government has to “work on the definition” of “crowded venues” that will be covered by vaccine passports.

He said: “We’ve got to define it really carefully and we’ll do that in the coming months until we get there.”

Asked about the prospect of vaccine passports for pubs at a Downing Street news conference on Monday, Boris Johnson said he did not want a situation where people are asked to “produce papers” to get into pubs but did not rule it out.

The Prime Minister, who is currently isolating after Health Secretary Sajid Javid tested positive for Covid, said “I certainly don’t want to see passports for pubs” but in enclosed crowded places with close contact “we reserve a right to do what is necessary to protect the public”.

Mr Scully added that “a number of” sporting venues are already looking at requiring vaccine passports for entry. …

Some 35% of 18 to 30 year-olds – three million people – are unvaccinated, but the minister denied it was effectively a “bribe” to younger people to get them vaccinated, stressing the move was about stopping the NHS being “overwhelmed”.

“This is the right thing to do to make sure that we get on top of the transmission of cases,” Mr Scully said. …

[Labour’s Shadow Economic Secretary Pat McFadden] said Labour would examine the details of the Government’s proposals before deciding whether or not to support them.

Stop Press: Mandatory Covid certification will be required for journalists to enter Downing Street, according to Harry Cole, Political Editor at the Sun. “And they wonder why there are fears nightclubs are just the thin end of the wedge?”

Well done to this chap and those who helped him.

I think this whole idea of “protected beliefs” has to go, doesn’t it?

Either everything is protected, or nothing is. How the hell can anyone decide which is which?

Indeed, well done Sean Corby. There is real bravery in taking on a big outfit such as ACAS and the personal cost both physically and mentally must have been tremendous.

How sad that the premier conciliation service has so signally failed to adhere to its own principles and even worse cannot even recognise such failings. A period of introspection would not go amiss. Some hope.

Congratulations to Sean Corby and many thanks to the Free Speech Union for securing this victory. Hopefully, this win will encourage more people to take up membership of the FSU.

I’m pleased to hear about this, however I wonder if his employer will treat him fairly in future. I hope the FSU are ready to back him up if necessary.

We saw it coming but that’s really shit nevertheless. And the fate of Dan is hanging by a thread, yet to be revealed then? He was already going through it due to some psycho ex’s allegations wasn’t he? Christ, it’s like bloody Lockstep! It’s all the ones on our side, the freedom fighters, that are getting targeted. I’m thinking of Brand and Bellfield as well. Maybe I’ve forgotten somebody… 🙁

”GB News said in a statement: “Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson were both suspended last week pending internal investigations that have now concluded. As of today, GB News has ended its employment relationship with Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson. The internal investigation into Dan Wootton continues.”
Meanwhile, a GB News staffer told The Independent: “The removal of two shockjock conspiratorial presenters makes this a great day for GB News.
“Hopefully we can finally turn to producing more of the intellectually curious broadcasting that our viewers love to tune in to.”

… but they are only following orders
it is reminiscent of historic warnings of state control.
But a well done to the brave man resisting the state BLM theory with the amazing free speech union! A win against state ideology control.
I think they need to arrest Khan for manipulating the truth buying science with tax payers money to buy surveillance state cameras . Outrageous authoritarian mayor in my view.

This is a bloody joke. Nobody is going to take the knee in some pst-nuclear reality. Franly given the seriousness of our situation I couldn’t give a moneky’s abuot some stupid discussion. You might want to tune into reality. Seriously we are moving into different times. I am not knocking your cause I am just telling you where it might end up.
