Care Minister Says New Year’s Eve Celebrations Could Be Cancelled

by Luke Perry
22 December 2021 12:01 PM

Concerned about the spread of the Omicron variant and a lack of understanding surrounding how dangerous the new strain is, Gillian Keegan, the Care Minister (the Minister of State responsible for mental health), has declared that New Year’s Eve festivities might have to be cancelled. In addition, Keegan mentioned that the Government was being lenient with the public in allowing Christmas to go ahead with the current restrictions in place, but that this leniency may end following Christmas Day. The Guardian has the story.

Plans for New Year’s Eve parties in England may have to be scrapped, a minister has admitted, as she said there remained uncertainty over the severity of illness caused by the Omicron variant of Covid.

Gillian Keegan, the Care Minister, refused to rule out lockdown measures being introduced in England shortly after Christmas and said 129 people had been hospitalised and 14 had died with Omicron in the U.K.

“There is uncertainty. So, if you can’t change your [New Year’s Eve] plans quickly, then maybe think about it. There is uncertainty. We can’t predict what the data is going to tell us before we’ve got the data,” she said.

She told LBC Radio that the Government’s approach in England had been to try to allow people to go ahead with Christmas plans, but that the same could not necessarily be said of the following holiday.

Boris Johnson has said no new measures will be put in place in England before Christmas Day, but the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales are introducing some new restrictions before and after the holiday.

Keegan told Sky News: “We do not have all the information that you would like to have at your fingertips, in particular… the severity of the disease. So it is a difficult balance but we think we’ve got the balance right. You know, saying to the country we wanted to lock down etc, when you’ve got those kind of figures wouldn’t look proportionate.”

She said the decision that was taken on further restrictions was “difficult”. Asked whether there was any chance a ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown might be avoided if the country continued on its current path, Keegan said: “We are waiting for data on the severity, we’ll still have to wait to see where we land on that, but we can’t really say, you know.

“What we’ve said is: up to Christmas, we’re fine, looking at the data, looking at the numbers we have at the moment. But, of course, we have to look at where this virus goes, where this variant goes, so we have to look at that data. I can’t tell you in advance of getting that data, but you should be cheerful because we’re doing a lot more than we could last year. We’re able to see our families.”

Keegan acknowledged that Johnson was refusing to act based on the same data that had led first ministers elsewhere in the U.K. to take preventive measures, but she claimed this was not a result of indecision or political calculation.

She was asked on Times Radio if the issue was not Johnson’s “own political judgment and that he doesn’t want to do anything with the data that all the leaders are seeing”.

Keegan said: “If we see large jumps in the data, large jumps in hospitalisation… then of course we’ll react. But we don’t actually have that yet. So what [Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon and Wales’s Mark Drakeford are] doing is… they’re looking at the risk and they’re coming up with a different answer.”

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: Lockdown zealot Mark Drakeford, Wales’s swivel-eyed First Minister, has banned New Year’s Eve celebrations and ordered pubs and restaurants to re-impose the rule of six from Boxing Day. MailOnline has more.

Why say this? Simply say, “if things are getting out of control we will take actions that will not have any meaningful impact but make the MSM happy.” But all you do by saying things now sans data is harm then mental health of people.

Just encourage people to be smart and to act in alignment with their risk role tolerance, and then shut up. Saying less lowers your risk of being a total fool.

This is what the panickers have been trying to structure our expectations towards. Pushing for pre-Christmas repression while the pretend resistance says “not before Christmas”, and everyone gets accustomed to the idea that there will be lockdowns after Christmas as a “compromise”.

Spinning and nudging – the modern Blairite way to do government.

When the time comes, the pretend resistance and the weak sisters will abruptly switch sides, and the real resisters will be painted as “unreasonable” and “extreme”, in the context of a big ramping up of panic propaganda.

That was how the panickers’ winter offensive worked last year, as well. The weak and the fakers of the resistance caved that time, and we were dumped into a disastrous lockdown, mask-wearing “vaccine”-coercing Hell.

But it isn’t necessary that we should be defeated again. There’s still a fight to be fought. We lost last time, but we can win this time. Just don’t be fooled into thinking that “winning” over Christmas lockdown is the end of the battle. It’s just the first phase.

It’s a nice fantasy, but in reality the public, in their face masks and steamed-up glasses, will just continue to shuffle outside Tesco’s or Lidl and ‘sanitise’ their shopping trolleys and say things such as “The wind’s got a bit of a nip in it today, hasn’t it?”

How’s that Tesco’s boycott going? Remember? Santa and his vaxx pass? How many here have been into Tesco since?

It’s the tone of this, isn’t it? We are being spoken to like a misbehaving school class who is allowed to join in with activities despite their behaviour. They are being ‘lenient’, we ‘should be cheerful’. Why not keep her attention seeking mouth shut because she is not saying anything that hasn’t been said before. Where do they get off actually speaking to us like that? As it is clearly obvious that the so called vaccines, masks and lockdowns do not have the slightest effect on the progress of what appears to be a cold, why bother any more? It is obvious there is a hidden agenda, but meantime, I am pretty sure that anyone who already has social plans for new year is not going to change them, and will ‘cheerfully’ give this stupid woman two fingers.

‘being lenient’??? Why would you be lenient if you honestly believed that mankind was facing an existential crisis which could only be averted by locking down the population? Surely thoughts of ‘leniency’ would go out of the window in such circumstances and you’d say “my God, we must lock down now to save mankind”, not “oh, well, go on – have Christmas and then we’ll lock down”.
Clearly this person and the admninistration she is speaking for do not believe there is an existential crisis, they/she just want to experience the power of being able to lock people down, and they can live with putting it off for a week or two as long as they get their kicks eventually.

Locking down a society was never deemed a sensible way to tackle a pandemic. You can’t stop airborne viruses from transmitting.

At best you’re going to prolong the situation by locking down, but everyone will catch it eventually, unless they’re deep in the Amazon or on a sunny desert island.

The only reason they will ‘cancel’ new year is to further confuse and demoralise the nation, making us more malleable and weak.

This has got nothing to do with a virus.

There were more lovable eccentrics in my childhood. There was a place for Bohemia even in London. A sense of well met in a pub with a man you don’t meet everyday. Yes this country has been conformist for a long time in so many ways but there were at least certain modes of freedom permitted. Given the scientifically crafted propaganda model of the last one hundred years it is a wonder that any dissent persists at all and yet it does. The English language contains many mansions and mysteries but central to it all is the ability to take the piss.

Besides the restrictions and lockdown, what tires me the most is reading/hearing the absolute horse shit fake narrative – worse is seeing Daily Sceptics peddling the same bollocks.

There has not been a pandemic. We’re not in a pandemic.

This was surely put to rest the moment we completed a whole year of this scam without any meaningful change to the mortality rate.

The slight increase needs to be attributed to the only change that occurred: political lockdown/restrictions. With this, the only change was mass murder of hospital ‘bed-blockers’, chucked into ‘care’-homes and administered Midazolam and Morphine.

Any increase that occurs this year must be attributed to the only new occurrence that has happened this year, which is industrial-scale injections of the bioweapon, otherwise rebranded a vaccine.

Politicians and their fanatical scientific advisers know all this. Anyone with a functioning brain knows this as well.

New Year will not be “cancelled” because of their world destroying ‘Unicron’ – it will be cancelled to further destroy our people and our culture.

This is deliberate and it is has NOTHING to do with a virus.

In Germany, too. Except that they have already (insofar I know this) stated that they will come down on the people again from the 28th onwards. But this has been happening all the time. COVID is a well-marketed pandemic. In Germany, that’s sometimes comical as they’re not very good at translating their statements into German. For instances, the RKI (Robert-Koch-Institut) claims that its job would be Evidenz erzeugen. In English, this was obviously produce evidence, which would be einen Beweis erbringen in proper German. What they’re using instead really means fabricate evidence.

This is true for most of the current German political and media elite: Their German is usually so poor that they have to supplant it with English words written in an outwardly German style all the time. They’re all just accidental Germans (those who aren’t Turks, that is) and are soo ashamed by that.

Any position called “Care Minister” is immediately suspect.
“People’s free democratic republic of …” Definitely Animal Farm territory.

Who the hell is the ‘care’ minister fgs, its like when they had the Minster for floods after a couple of days of rain and it stopped flooding. We don’t need one, unless they havent already heard, there are hardly any ‘moronic’ intakes in the hospitals although they might catch it while there if they go for other conditions.

The only thing that is out of control is the number of so called experts who are trying to take the piss, to extend this horror indefinitely. At what point do we say, as the South Africans have, you can’t micro-manage an endemic virus. Stop testing (14 out of 15 tests are negative…), stop track and trace (Its completely pointless if anyone can catch the virus from anyone), and stop isolating. If you are ill take sick days like we used to for flu’s and bad colds. Too many people monetizing this, and feathering their own nests.

Neil, Well said. Starmer needs to be voted out as Leader of the Labour Party. He is totally in bed with Witless and Unbalanced. No opposition at all. No concern for Democracy or the British People just himself. You are right, kick this thing into touch now. Johnson could, if he is thinking straight, be the first Prime Minister in Europe to say all restrictions are ending and that England is going to manage this as a routine virus like the flu (after all, it’s not much different, it targets the same group; the over 80’s with 2 ore more comorbid conditions and, the data cannot be trusted as, only a few months ago, the Govt admitted that between 45-50% of all deaths attributed to Covid were not Covid deaths. I look around and see a healthy population out and about not thousands of sick people. Johnson has to stand firm against Witless now. We know Witless is a proven liar. He and Unbalanced bounced us into Lockdown 2 on deliberately falsified data; which is serious professional misconduct and cost thousand of business to go into administrations and hundreds and thousands of job losses. Sth Africa have got it right. At least their politicians are thinking straight. That is what is missing from Johnson’s rationale – take a look at all the countries around the world, in Latin America in Africa, in Europe (Sweden) the 8 states in the USA who have not had any restrictions. They aren’t seeing any issues or problems and they still have healthy economies. Johnson needs to take a long hard look at these countries because they are the sensible ones who recognise this as being a strong flu and act accordingly. In the UK, a lazy, dishonest, grossly incompetent and grossly mismanaged NHS is the focus of all restrictions. As one Tory MP said, we do not live in a public heatlh totalitarian state, we live in a democracy. The truth is, currently we are living in the former rather than the latter.

Starmer is one of the worst Covidians, but the trouble is that Labour has no vociferous objectors to it all so who would replace him?

Enough is enough. Omicrom, as described by the South Arfrican Doctor is of no concern as it is about the same as a mild cold. WHO reiterated this, there was no crisis. Now it has become a two-headed monster. As far as I can tell, it cannot change its properties to make it more lethal, its properties are its properties. This reeks of another gigantic scam because things haven’t played out politically as all the power mad wanna be dictators in Europe had envisaged. We are currently in the flu season. Johnson stood up to the scientists and he should do so now. We are not in a state of emergency, we are not in a public health crisis we are merely in flu season with a totally incompetent, badly managed, NHS who spend all available money on themselves, on regradings, on pay rises etc. 2 years ago before all of this, they took a whopping £150bn pa of public money and delivered very very little. Now they get an astonishing £250bn pa and they haven’t opened any more acute beds, put more nurses on the front line or invested in any clinical procedures. They have probably created tiers and tiers of management posts. The 100 or so and I hope growing backbench Tory rebels now need to get some proper data analysis because, as one international statistician calculated, the UK has had 10 times more Covid than the whole of Europe put together. Smells a lot like fiddling the data to me – sort of sticking a finger in the air and plucking out a number. Especially when the ONS data shows that allegedly, it is the vaccinated that are getting it. Johnson may well be waiting for proper data from the NHS but that’s like waiting for Godot – it will be falsified, exaggerated and blatantly manipulated and the real data will never appear. I hope the Cabinet stand firm against any further measures and so do the majority of Tory MPs because they are simply not necessary. It is the case that, when everything returns to normal and people start to enjoy themselves and looking forward to Christmas, that yet again, another miraculous alleged variant is trumpeted. Crap, pure and utter crap. We, the British Public, deserve a lot better than this. I am also sick and tired of the NHS (now standing in for the scientists) are bleating on about the unvaccinated. They can’t prove anything. Strange thing is, people get ill and end up in hospital. There is no clean, clear and accountable data to show what the alleged unvaccinated are in hospital for; maybe TRAs, Pneumonia, Emphysema, COPD, Stroke, Heart Attack, Cancer etc. Neither does it tell us how many of the vaccinated are in hospital or those vaccinated who are in hospital having suffered serious health consequences from the vaccine. I wouldn’t mind but I strongly suspect that the majority of Surgeons, Consultants, GPs, nurses etc are not vaccinated. A retired GP told me that you wouldn’t catch a GP taking the Flu Jab because they know what’s in it. The same applies to this Jab I should think. If the Labour MPs (and Starmer is totally in thrall to Witty and SAGE scientists not applying any critical analysis) allow any further restrictions to be implement then they should all be voted out of office. The pattern has already been set. For two years now we’ve had Lockdowns, social distancing, mask wearing and more restrictions yet here we are, with another scam variant, and more restrictions being discussed. The NPIs have not worked one Iota. I urge Johnson to engage brain, say No to the Scientists and not impose any further restrictions because, if any more are imposed, we know for a fact it won’t be for ‘3 weeks’ to flatten the curve it will be for most of the year and, once again, when things get back to normal and we are also looking forward to Christmas then the scientists will start bleating again about another variant. Carl Henegan said this week that we’ve got to stop this patter and cycle as ‘this is as good as it gets’. If the NHS cannot manage their budget to sort out the ‘Annual Winter Pressures’ fiasco then their budget should be axed and an efficiancy firm brought in to axe the thousands and thousands of non productive management and administrative and non essential non clinical jobs be axed with immediate effect and the revenue shifted to the front line. Javid needs to take a far tougher line with the NHS not keep pandering to GPs and what is now probably the worst health service in the world that has axed quite a large list of elective surgeries including that they no longer provide breast reconstruction surgery after removal of a breast following breast cancer. However, they do provide it for free for people who want to transgender. He needs to take the GPs on head on and say they will have to return to face-to-face consultations (the internet is rife with thousands of stories of people with obvious symptoms of cancer have not been diagnosed or even tested for it by GPs. So they die. Do the NHS care. Not a jot. It’s all about them, them, them.

Keegan is exhibiting a benevolent coercive behaviour which is common in politicians. Their SPADS probably tell them to aim at being Aunty or Uncle , cajole don’t corece. Most of the time they are the strict teachers you had to put up with when you weren’t laughing with the fun type. But when you laugh at them and ridicule them their fear over you fractures like a falling test tube. . Just a thought.

MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

As we knew very well, once the state gets its hands round your neck it will never let go. Omicron is milder than delta, there are not the projected hospital admissions or deaths, but does that stop them threatening our freedom? No, they disregard the evidence, and persist in their lies and dishonesty. If you want to celebrate at any time, anywhere, with anyone, just do it. Ignore the doomsayers and government stooges. I can’t wait for the moment the entire nation tells them and Whitty, Vallance, Ferguson et al to GO TO HELL(which, by the way, is where they’ve sent millions through their utter stupidity and tyranny)
