‘Plan B’ Style Restrictions Introduced in the House of Commons

by Luke Perry
2 November 2021 2:13 PM

Due to a fear that Covid will spread through the Parliamentary estate, ‘Plan B’ style restrictions have been introduced to the House of Commons. Some of the measures include mandatory mask-wearing for MP’s staff (MPs themselves are exempt from the rule), working from home whenever possible, as well as social distancing at select committee meetings. The Express has the story.

A Parliamentary spokesperson said: “The House’s priority is to ensure that those on the estate are safe while business is facilitated.

“There have been recent increases in Covid across the country and these are also being reflected in Parliament.

“The U.K. Health Security Agency has determined that the risk of transmission on the Parliamentary estate is now greater.

“As a consequence, some further action is being taken to ensure that case numbers do not continue to rise”.

A number of the new measures being imposed in Parliament, including work from home rules and compulsory mask-wearing, mirror aspects of the Government’s Covid ‘Plan B’.

This is likely to increase speculation about further restrictions being introduced across the whole of England in the coming weeks.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid has been vague about what exactly would trigger the Government to introduce these measures.

Ministers were told by scientific advisors in SAGE late last month to begin preparing for the “rapid deployment” of winter Covid restrictions.

They were warned that “there remains potential for a rapid increase in hospital admissions if behaviours [among members of the public] change quickly”.

Under its ‘Plan B’, the Government would also introduce vaccine passports for all “large venues”, barring those who haven’t been jabbed from many hospitality venues, and the further communication of additional risk to the public.

Worth reading in full.

Here we go. Another Johnson Sleigh Ride to Christmas and next year, with the usual crew in the traces or on the sleigh, cracking whips.

Why?

They don’t debate anything.
They don’t even bother voting any more.
What exactly is the point of MP’s?

I see the plebs are forced to cover their faces, whilst their masters can breathe freely, aren’t they all vaccinated, is vaccination mandatory for MP’s, thought not.

The pretense of even attempting to look like they care what we think has totally evaporated.

Just waiting for the unquarantined, unmasked ‘elite’ to leave Glasgow…….and it’s goodnight London. Here is a message from Sajid Javed.

“With a heavy heart, we have to announce that Christmas is cancelled. It’s all because not enough of you worthless dogs have consented to be jabbed, and far too many of you have denied us permission to jab your kid……..so……you have asked for it really, it’s your own fault.

Anyway, just be aware, that we can keep doing this every winter until you fuckers get the message and start obeying us.”

In addition, we will be replacing the offensive and discriminatory word Christmas, which from now on will automatically be prosecuted as hate speech.
Instead citizens will be required to gather in community centres in masks to listen silently to lectures on how the world is about to end, before going home with their single child for a festive insect burger and a nice glass of recycled water.

This really is such bullshit.
The increase in “cases” is predominantly amongst the jabbed – FACT.
The only crumb of comfort is that PLAN B will have no effect whatsoever anyway because the jabs are are causing the increase.

I’d pitch to you all that by the New Year mid-January we’ll see if here in the UK we’re going full on with this bio-techkno-fascist take-over…. i.e joining Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Italy, France, Germany and Eire slipping fully down into GREAT RESET tyranny.

Think mandatory vaxxing updates for all, vaxx passports, 24/7 track-n-trace, cashless society, CBDC and social credit policing.

All the above part of the plan conceived by the WEF and financed by the chosen few globalist elite, their bankers and their multi-billion dollar corps, sponsored NGOs, and token figure-head celebs – all of them having bought into the controlled demolition of once sovereign nations, via population reduction and the termination of human autonomy.

This Lockstep orchestration push for universal vaccination is so extreme that countries formerly considered part of our “free world” are now seeing rising protest with strong public pushback resistance.

In the USA and Canada the main resistance comes from nurses and other medical-related personnel who have personally witnessed the devastating impact of the vaccine injuries on those injected.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/i2KwM6jbm5se/

Every person needs to really consider the implication of silencing independent medical experts who know the unfolding truth while “narrative parroting” bought for politico talking heads dictate the WEF/WHO/GAVI/UN/NGO narrative.

The NEW NORMAL…

Living in a social lockdown vacuum, forced vegan diets, eating bugs for protein and talking to your depression robot.

So… the restrictions are:

  • other people must wear masks
  • MPs should not show up for work unless under exceptional circumstances
  • when they do show up for work, it is an excuse if too many people show up, so stay at home anyways

Right…

cases – lol

Are they not down anyway ?

and how many “cases” have been traced back to parliament itself. What behaviour did they engage in to transmit ?

all said and done. Theatre and bullshit. Again. No surprise. Get COP out 26 done and back on the Covid roller coaster.

Here we go again. Another fuckin lockdown because the first three really worked.

Didn’t they?

Just shut the damn place down and send all the lazy bastards home. It’s not as if they do anything.

Vax pass on the way.

Of course this was always planned.

Who was that numpty ATL yesterday giving Bozo the benefit of the doubt?

Our level of compliance has caused them the inconvenience of bringing their plans forward even faster than they had anticipated
.
Of course the vaxxed majority will welcome this totalitarian move, the recalcitrant antis be damned, even if they do come to understand that vaxxing is a waste of time if not worse.

Masks for staff but not for MPs.
Further proof that this has never been, isn’t and will never be about a virus or health, as if that was still needed.
Not that the idiots among the staff who don’t exempt themselves deserve much sympathy.

The whole thing is now (as it’s always been) bloody lunacy. They are just itching to impose all the restrictions again, they can’t help themselves. I’ve organised a small society’s Christmas dinner in early December, at a local pub; if the bastards DARE bring those bloody passports in I shall be incandescent. There is little doubt they are determined to wipe Christmas out again, as they did for many people last year (not in my house, though!). Why oh why do we keep complying with this stuff, month in, month out? Surely even the dumbest cluck can see that the politicians are mocking us….mask for thee but not for me?

Sorry, have to say it, infections of what precisely?

Are we talking about ‘cases’ – something resulting from a positive PCR/LFT test? (which everyone knows can pick up a fragment of a cold you had 10 years ago if you run it on enough cycles)

Or are we talking about people with defined symptoms of an illness syndrome – sufficient to hospitalise them as opposed to leave them a bit poorly at home for a couple of days ?

So Parliament has access to sources of information different from the public ONS data that, up to today, shows cases continuing to decrease and admissions and deaths both flat across the country.

I guess that’s the same source of secret information that tells Boris that 100% of climate change is caused by humans and that we’re all quilted with a suffocating fog of CO2, or whatever other tosh he spouted at COP26 before falling asleep.

But there must be some good reason why the stats available show things are getting better when we ought to be zipping up the Hazmat suits.

As others have said, they don’t bother to hide their contempt. They know that something like truthful figurs are in the public domain yet still issue statements and edicts to the contrary.
Early during WW2 a Russian big cheese was in Berlin being told by Goebbels or someone that British bombs had never fallen on Germany. To which the Russian replied
“What are those loud booms outside then Comrade?”

You can be sure that they do indeed have access to source of information different from the public data. More precisely, they have access to public information EARLIER than the public. This allows them to greatly improve their “predictions” of the future, as witnessed by a dumb outsider.

I observed this charade playing out in Germany when Merkel slipped up and announced the onset of third wave in a very definitive tone around a week too early – before anything such could be divined from the official charts and tables.

The easiest way to become a prophet is to withhold/delay some data for a couple days. And this is what the politically controlled public health agencies are very willing to do in order to satisfy their masters.

So presumably there will be a report to Parliament showing the evidence about how this intervention has stopped the spread of cases throughout Parliament in its tracks. That way we can base the decision on the hard evidence of effectiveness rather than political belief.

No. Thought not.

Over the last 20 years I’ve trained thousands of practitioners in project management skills, including some of the finest minds in the UK.
I say this, because I recognise a top down strategy when I see it. Essentially, they aim to shift and move public opinion (via a complicit media) through manipulation and fear.
It’s blindingly obvious to me the government wants vax passports, leading to the inevitable introduction of digital ID and social credit scores.
In order to achieve this it needs ‘justifiable cause’, ie some kind of legitimacy to rationalise its plan.
This piece is part of the jigsaw. ‘MPs are complying, so should the public’ they’ll claim.
Expect more such ‘crises’. Each one will add to the case, the pressure to comply.
I trust the Daily Sceptic, TCW and other truthful sites will expose their scheme.
The rest of us must make as much noise as we can.

Carl Heneghan says: “ In the U.K. , by design we carry out a large amount of asymptomatic testing but we rarely, if ever, report on an individual’s Ct numbers of these tests. If we look at these findings in the context of reducing the amount of testing done in the U.K., for example, it could be that reporting a person’s Ct numbers, we could better determine whether a person should isolate or not”

About time too!

We here know about the importance of CT numbers since June 20 the latest. All calls for standardization have steadfastly been ignored.
Nothing will happen, unstandardized testing and their totally arbitrary results were and will remain the key to uphold the dictatorships.
It amazes me that someone like Heneghan comes out with this observation now.

Forgive me, but with their egregious track record during this so-called public health crisis, I can’t help but feel a Commons viral epidemic might be just the democratic purgative the country needs.
By whatever means, the sooner this traitorous government and their bum-licking Opposition (sic) cohorts are ousted, the better.

Another 10 days of the hypocritical Globalist Elite lecturing the world from Glasgow and then Johnson will… “Alas” …. have to announce the re-imposition of restrictions and “vaccine passports.”

Mid-November, 6 weeks before Christmas. All for our own good, of course.

Surely if masks worked, there would be a spike in cases amongst (non-masked) Tory MPs compared with (masked) opposition MPs? Can’t understand why no-one is picking up on this?
