Number 10 Plays Down Idea That Vaccine Passports Are Dead and Buried

by Michael Curzon
13 September 2021 11:23 AM

Less than a day after Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced the scrapping of plans for vaccine passports later this month, Number 10 has clarified that passes could still form a “first-line defence” against a winter wave of Covid. Reports confirm the fears of some Tory MPs that we’ve not heard the last of vaccine passports yet. The Times has the story.

Number 10 says checks on the vaccine status of people going to nightclubs and other crowded events remained a crucial part of the Government’s winter Covid plan due to be unveiled by the Prime Minister tomorrow.

They will no longer be introduced automatically at the end of this month, however, after pressure from Tory MPs and the hospitality sector.

When he outlines options to deal with a potential third wave this winter Boris Johnson is expected to warn that mandatory facemasks could be reintroduced and work from home guidance reinstated. He will also make clear that checks on vaccine status could still be a legal condition of entry to large events. …

In an interview with Times Radio yesterday Sajid Javid… described vaccine passports as a “huge intrusion into people’s lives”. He said: “You have got to be really, really certain that’s what you want to do. We have looked at it and whilst we will keep it in reserve I am pleased to say that we will not be going ahead.”

Javid added that with more than 80% of the population vaccinated he was not sure it was a necessary tool to increase uptake.

Downing Street insisted, however, that vaccine passports remained an integral part of the Government’s plan to reduce transmission in the winter if hospital admissions continued to rise. …

The decision [to scrap plans to introduce vaccine passports at the end of this month] means that Covid measures in England again deviate from those in Scotland, where a motion on introduction of passports was passed in the Scottish parliament on Thursday. A decision is expected in Wales next week. Stormont ministers have yet to reach an official position.

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: Guido Fawkes has compiled a video of Government ministers flipping and flopping over vaccine passports. As Julie Hartley-Brewer pointed out, it would be funny if the issue wasn’t so serious.

23% intend to vote Tory. Why?

It’s not clear whether the %s include those who don’t know/don’t intend to vote, but even so there is still a majority that intend to vote for woke socialist globalist “green” parties. How depressing.

Some of them will previously have intended to vote Reform until the leader of that party stood by his expressed opinion that he admired Putin.

Yeah, which gave us possibly the worst government in British history and left us with the Fake conservatives as Her Majesty’s Opposition. Great result.

You cannot seriously believe that Reform could ever have won the last election. Even they admitted that was never going to happen.

A labour victory was written in stone as soon as the lamentable Mr Johnson caved (quite possibly to Mrs Johnson) regarding lockdowns.

Mr Musk knows a thing or two. Mr Farage has many qualities but he is not and never will be Prime Ministerial material.

The only question in town is whether Mrs Badenoch is of the requisite calibre.

We will not know the answer to that for a while yet.

I didn’t “believe” Reform were going to win the election because I saw the opinion polls and I am aware that we have drifted into being a country full of people who think the “government” can/should/will solve all their problems. But why shouldn’t Reform win the election? Why the hell would any conservative vote Tory after 14 years of being lied to and let down?

I don’t get your logic about lockdowns. Labour wanted more of them.

Badenoch is less of a weasel and more conservative than Sunak or Johnson, and she has bigger balls than both of them put together (not hard) but she is an unrepentant covidian and her party is still full of wets so they can go and do one as far as I am concerned.

If you are waiting for a political leader who is “prime ministerial material” who represents a major party, I hope you are a lot younger than I am and live a lot longer.

We are screwed and will remain so until things get a lot worse or maybe never.

If you didn’t believe Reform were going to win, who else could have won except the egregious labour party?

The voters put in the labour party based on them not being the conservative party and for no other reason.

Few outside of here had got the hang of the futility of lockdowns or, indeed, vaccines.

Mr Farage nor his Chairman convinces.

Lee Anderson and Rupert Lowe both have something about them but, for the time being, Reform represent a decent protest vote, nothing more.

As for Mrs Badenoch, easy to condemn but silly.

We have not yet been given a clear view of the cut of her jib, nor will we for a couple of years.

Mr Farage looks like a one trick pony.

Mrs Badenoch may very well be better than that, but the jury is still out….

Silly? If you still think the Fake conservative party deserves power, good luck!

None of them “convince” me. Of the mainstream parties and politicians, Reform are the closest to my views and don’t cross any red lines.

I thought Scotland might be the only place where men can get away with wearing a skirt and not look like they’re cross-dressing because they still manage to look masculine. That’s not going to cut it in these Woke times, according to Starmer;

Putin has many admirable qualities. Hard to imagine anyone surviving for 25 years as the President of a Mafia run state unless he did. Of course some of his qualities are much less admirable, and you don’t have to like him on a personal level, far from it. I think that was what Nigel was saying, but the subtlety and nuance is lost in the MSM. Its a bit like saying Gary Lineker was a fine football striker. It is true, but not a complete summation of him and his character.

Kennedy didn’t want missiles on his border in 1961 as Putin didnt want NATO missiles on his border. Yet Kennedy was lauded as a hero. Go figure.

What the heck is an “open-book test”? And who gets to take an exam paper home?? 🤨 So basically ‘cheating’ then? I can’t imagine Reform tolerating this;

“Yet again, racial minorities are being patronised by the authorities at Oxford and Cambridge.

More racist policies in the name of “progress”…

Nice to see the Telegraph omit that just 20% of the electorate voted Labour.

The problem Reform have – other than Farage as leader – is that in trying to grow quick enough to be able to contest the May elections they are recruiting Tories with questionable views. Think RINOs in the US. We need a fresh party not a rehashed Tory one.

Our County Council Norfolk has cancelled our democracy and elections. The senior staff are rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of a bigger authority meaning higher salaries for them.

Reform and Farage may seem the best option but we are being manipulated into voting for them at a future GE. Like at the GE last year, at this rate I will again have to spoil my ballot paper. There is no one fit for purpose (ie true to God and our country) for whom I can currently vote (except perhaps for David Kurten).

Farage and Tice fully supported the Rona Fascism.
They have nothing to say about the Muslimification of this country or its destruction from ‘legal’ invasion. Focusing on the small boats which are 1-10% of the total problem.

And 45% would still vote for the collection of psychopaths who have brought our formerly great Britain to its present ruinous state.

Then add in the idiots who would vote Lib Dem and Green and the answer to: are we screwed? becomes apparent.
