Gibraltar has administered enough doses to have fully vaccinated 140% of its population, but has cancelled Christmas celebrations due to a recent, sharp rise in Covid cases. The Government of Gibraltar has released a statement saying it will cancel its own Christmas parties, and that it “strongly advises against” the public holding any festive activities for the next four weeks. Evening Standard has the story.
The small British territory tightened Covid restrictions over the festive period following a spike in cases.
Residents have been urged to limit mixing as much as possible in new guidelines announced last Friday following a rise in cases.
Officials said they should “exercise their own judgement” on whether to hold Christmas events and it “strongly advises against” doing so in the next four weeks while the Covid booster scheme continues.
Gibraltar has seen cases increase with 66 new daily infections reported on average, an equivalent to 52% of its peak in January.
The Rock has administered at least 94,469 vaccine doses so far which is enough to have fully vaccinated 140.2% of the country’s population.
“Given the exponential rise in the number of cases, the Government for example intends to cancel a number of its own functions including official Christmas parties, official receptions and similar gatherings,” its Government said in a statement.
“The public, at this stage, are ultimately called upon to exercise their own judgement in this respect bearing in mind the current advice given.”
The advice also refers to the number of people, whether indoors or outdoors, ventilation and whether guests are vaccinated, elderly or vulnerable.
“It will also become necessary at this point to make sure that the use of official premises is carefully scrutinised and where necessary events are postponed to a later date,” it added.
Official guidance advises Gibraltarians to meet in open outdoor spaces where possible, open windows when indoors, wear face masks where required and maintain some distance when greeting.
Face masks are currently required in all shops and supermarkets, on public transport, in medical centres, at indoor funerals and at Gibraltar International Airport.

If it’s not for Noah, so called free speech advocate DS would be just another propaganda mouthpiece with monochrome view of Ukraine conflict: peaceful democratic Ukraine was unprovokedly invaded by barbaric Russia in February 22. Those pesky Russians who are in the habit of occupying nuclear plants so that they can shell themselves causing nuclear incident…
Even if US didn’t openly provoke Russia, they (US state in partnership with MIC and big business) definitely have million reasons for the war to continue. Europe is weakened by the war and US is making money. Classic.
An excellent article which makes a lot of sense. Obviously the timing of the Russian invasion was, shall we say, fortuitous, allowing TPTB to maintain their fear programme on the back of a waning C1984.
The reasoning expounded by Noah Carl matches very much with the views of proper news organisations which are US based, such as Brighteon / Natural News, and the excellent Technocracy News.
The bottom line is that it is seriously beginning to look like the US deep state has declared war on the world and has recruited some deeply influential and well-funded pockets to their cause – the likes of Gates, Bezos,Zuckerberg etc. In many respects the US is a failing state and their current actions could perhaps be seen as the flailings of a dying man, but this of course makes it very dangerous.
A very plausible theory, it also explains why the
one had to be removed at all costs as he wasn’t onboard with the Ukraine/permanent war project.
Sounds plausible. As they say — America is prepared to fight Russia to the last European.
There’s also the small matter of the Biden family’s dubious commercial interests in Ukraine.
Not to mention the now accepted secret biolabs, funded by the USA, which everyone said was a conspiracy theory.
The difference between ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘truth’ is now about 6 weeks….
Granted this friction has been boiling for a long while, even before Euromaiden and during Obama’s tenure nothing much was resolved despite the “revolution” (or coup depending on your perspective). But you’re right, the Biden’s connections are certainly worthy of note in this whole debacle, Hunter’s Burisma “contracts” are highly suspect. They were anyway but especially now in retrospect, Burisma being owned by Ihor Kolomoyskyi. We could argue Zelensky owes his rise to power to Kolomoyskyi (and his ‘1+1 Media Group’) in the ‘Servant of the People’ comedy series, plus Kolomoyskyi reportedly was the original funder of the infamous Azov Battalion. I gather there are abundant shale deposits in the Donbas too which again Kolomoyskyi (Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast at the time) presumably wanted to benefit from which may have had something to do with perpetrating the conflict in 2014. The whole thing stinks to high heaven.
I’ve said it before.
America’s worst nightmare has been and will continue to be any alliance between the raw materials of Russia and European tec./industry – then it’s Goodnight Uncle Sam and take all your decadent baggage with you.
As an additional bonus that would be our best chance of avoiding The Great Reset.
What’s not to like…
Strange that there’s no mention of the role that eco-zealots may have played in effectively making Nordstream 2 a white elephant. Given that they’ve managed to get Keystone and various other pipelines in America cancelled or so wrapped up in lawsuits that they may never happen it seems obvious that they regard pipelines as an easy target in their war against fossil fuels and would put pressure on the U.S. government to try and stop the flow of gas/oil anywhere in the world.
I’m not sure which is worse, this delusional article from Carl or the number of Daily Sceptic readers who appear to buy in to this nonsense.
Anyone who thinks that the US intelligence agencies or the State Department is capable of organising anything more than a group order at Starbucks is delusional.
Many of us have said from the outset of the Ukraine war that the US deliberately provoked Russia. I have no problem accepting the argument outlined above is highly plausible.
“When you think about it, this is extremely provocative. Imagine if Chinese officials travelled to Canada, and publicly backed a protest movement seeking to replace Canada’s government with a pro-Chinese one. Americans would be outraged”
Whilst there is, as usual, much to agree with in Noah’s piece, he (never mind the Putin fans active in comments) cuts the Russians way too much slack. And his paragraph 4 – repeated above) is laughable.
No need for hypothetical Chinese in Canada. What about actual Russian funding of GangGreen fanatics “protesting” oil pipelines in US and Canada and Fracking in the UK and Europe? What about RT’s disgraceful support for the same “protestors”?
When will Noah notice that?
