Covid restrictions will NOT be tightened in England before the New Year, Boris Johnson has decided after reviewing the latest data on the spread of the Omicron variant. This is a decisive win for lockdown sceptics. The Telegraph has more.
It means that New Year’s Eve parties can go ahead, although the possibility of new rules in January has not been ruled out.
The public are also being urged to show “caution” in the coming week, including taking a lateral flow test before gatherings, keeping windows open where possible and wearing a mask when required.
The Prime Minister is understood to have taken the decision not to bring in further restrictions at this stage because of signs in the data that Omicron may be a milder form of COVID-19, as suggested by previous scientific analysis. …
The number of people in hospital in England with Covid is less than half of what it was last year, despite there being three times as many reported cases.
The number of daily cases fell on Monday to 98,515, from 108,893 on Boxing Day.
And Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, revealed on Monday that 75% of eligible adults have received a booster jab, with the speed of the rollout being cited as one reason for not bringing in new restrictions.
However, the move leaves England out of step with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which have all imposed limits on household mixing in social settings.
Announcing the decision, Mr Javid said: “We look at the data on a daily basis – that hasn’t changed over the Christmas period. But there will be no further measures before the New Year.
“Of course, people should remain cautious as we approach New Year’s celebrations. Take a lateral flow test if that makes sense, celebrate outside if you can, have some ventilation if you can.
“Please remain cautious and when we get into the New Year, of course, we will see then whether we do need to take any further measures. But nothing more until then, at least.”
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: Will the Government introduce tighter restrictions in the New Year? The Telegraph says Government officials have draw up plans for a number of different measures, including reintroducing the ‘rule of six’. But none of these have been put to ministers yet.

Here in the Celtic slavelands, the remaining human beings know that the tyranny will make not the slightest difference to moronic. Just as the never-ending muzzling never made any difference. The comparisons with England proved it for facepants and will prove it for the current orgy of bullying. But it will only make the heads of Dung and Turd swell further. The more arbitrary their power, the greater, because it requires no rationale at all. The Celtic sheeples grovel out of habit, because it’s their nature to grovel.
The Celtic football fans where having none of it I heard
A definite whiff of gas lights and boiling frogs.
It was known from the outset that the fatuously named Omicrom was just the common cold, much like all the other tens of thousands of coronavirus strains that exist on this planet. But that didnt stop the psychopaths from once again terrorising the population into submitting to unnecessary experimental medical prodedures. Why do they want to emulate European authoritarians so much? What is it about this injection program that makes them stop at nothing to get these chemical cocktails into us?
Why don’t you tell us why you know about this injection programme and what more very day are beginning to suspect?
There is something evidently sinister behind all of this.
Unfortunately, unlike after the fall of the Nazi regime, I predict that it will take time for the truth to come out and I might not be around to see justice dispensed..
O how I would love to see Johnson, Jeanette Krankie, Dripford, Susan Michie, Ferguson, Whitty and Vallance et al incarcerated in the UK’s harshest prison. Pure bliss!
No, this isn’t a ‘victory’ in the slightest, unless you view being the abused in an abusive relationship and receiving some minor concession as a victory.
We all know what’s coming: a new “deadlier” variant accompanied by jab 4. In my view as a layman Moronic is the common cold and not a variant. They say it is Covid with lots of changes but in all the things I’ve read about viruses I have never seen anything that even begins to suggest variants have major changes. Generally, they just become less deadly and more able to infect just like the common cold. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable on the subject can clarify how they know it is a Covid variant?
The more interesting question is: how did Omicron come into existence in March 2020 but not infect anyone for nearly two years?
It had to feed on snake oil first.
They were not ready to make use of it?
Wasn’t it designed especially to hit Christmas and New Year ?
Assuming Covid came around naturally it would normally evoke to be milder. But we have no idea what the Chinese are cooking up in the lab.
Basically this is what Dr Mike Yeadon believes.
He states that viruses mutate to protect themselves. It is not in the virus’ interests to kill or it eventually runs out of hosts and kills itself. The mutation is therfore plausible.
Yes, and while we tend to apply the human trait of some kind of logic to it, it looks just like a natural outcome in as much as it’s likely to carry on existing on account of being transferred from one place to another. Those things that annihilate the first host go nowhere.
Vaccine passports are slowly being introduced by the back door using the softly softly approach. Thrice jabbed friends tell me they would have no qualms about showing their vaccine status to enter a theatre and would actually be OK with having a test on top of that to make them feel safer.
Back door? The seem to be barging in by the FRONT DOOR to me. In fact, they’ve battered the doors down completely!
No, no …our Craven MPs have opened it wide for them, lead by ‘Trilateral Commission” member (look it up – some interesting members) Kneeler Starmer, Johnson’s Deputy in Globalism
Their feeling ‘safe’ ( that new, nasty little word) will destroy freedom for all of us.
After all, a prison cell is a very “safe” place.
I agree completely.
Not if you’re Jeffrey Epstein.
Then your friends are dangerous idiots threatening the liberty of us all.
A “passport” for fuckin ‘flu?
God Almighty.
Sorry. Front Door!

“Covid restrictions will NOT be tightened in England before the New Year,” The Prime Minister said. “But boy they’ll be beating you all down after the New Year,” he added with a smile.
Javid appears to be saying ‘I’m sorry, honestly I am, that I can’t impose extra restrictions! I hope you have a great new year anyway!’
All restrictions and ‘measures’ should be lifted at once and the whole scamdemic would simply go away.
If they want to beat the virus, then they should stop their fake testing, close down the press and the “News” Channels .
Three days without the MSM and people would have forgotten all about it.
But they don’t want to beat the “virus’, do they? They want it forever i their sick ‘New Normal’
For the hard of hearing :-
It’s. Not. About. A. Virus.
This is just a short term pyrrhic “victory”
The end game is control by digital ID. cashless society etc.
There will be no end to the fear porn and persecution until they think they’ve won.
Get ready to further resist. Dear Tony, aka the decrepit War Criminal, has wheeled himself out to promote his anti vax terrorist-sorry, task force.
What an interesting time to be alive.
Hold the Line.
What a shite time to be alive. Even worse for the young.
‘What an interesting time to be alive.’
Short as that will be.

Its all there in plain sight.
‘…signs in the data that Omicron may be a milder than form of COVID-19’. Yep, appears to be rain drops on me windows and the ground is wet, can see drops of what appear to be rain falling and wife has just got in soaking wet complaining she forgot her umbrella. So it appears the data suggests it may be raining – I’ll review the data tomorrow, sure to confirm it. Wife – it may not be raining tomorrow? Yea, but is it raining now? Baa Humbug.
The sheer stupidity of it – these people give Insanity a bad name.
Amazing data emerging – I know of least 20 people that have tested positive of the bug recently and had symptoms, but all these ‘symptoms’ have been very mild. Who would have thought it! As for the ones testing positive and no symptoms ………
The PCR test has been shown internationally to be a fraud – and yet we still use it.
CDC are scrapping it. The problem is that the CDC are so corrupt it immediately begs the question ‘why?’
So remember be good children, or Mr Javid and Johnson will have to put you back on the naughty step.
How dare they behave as they are towards us, We pay them, they are no different from us except they chose a career in politics as opposed to any other form of career, they are nothing special in terms of intelligence, vision, creativity, physique, they are ordinary and some would say below ordinary people, and yet they have taken it upon themselves over the past 2 years to believe they are somehow extraordinary, Emperors in waiting, Gods and demi Gods, As a result of their very mistaken beliefs they now think they can control evey aspect of our lives, that we are below their contempt and like the slaves and scum they think we are, we must be constantly threatened and punished so that we understand and keep our place. They do this because they now fear us, and rightly so, we are millions, they are thousands. 2022 is time to bring this farce to an end, and time to put these upstarts back in their place. Those who haven’t already need to take action, ignore the mask, the distance, the lockdowns etc, small businesses including pubs and Restaurants stay open, no curfew, stop doing the darn tests, Children send them to school, if there are no teachers camp out in the playground and teach them there. They cannot arrest us all, there are insufficient police and anyway they are too busy focusing on someone hurting someone else’s feelings.
Let 2022 be the year we rise up and reclaim our rights and liberties and lets ignore this Government and its advisors, it will beak them and then they will go away.
Here’s to a happy New Year everyone.
Not demi gods. Wholly sods.
Without tests, there is no pandemic. Some people seem addicted to shoving sticks into their tonsils and up their nose. How to put them off this self-harming and nose-raping? It’s disgusting, and dangerous, and still they do it.
Disgust can be a powerful emotion, so maybe imagery of these invasive tests can be promulgated.
Safety – where are the risk assessments for the swabs, and for the swabbing process? You need about 50 pages of risk assessment for just about anything nowadays, where are these for swabbing? A couple of requests to each organisation for the risk assessments, and a few queries if they even have one, will likely cause a managerial melt-down.
“Without tests their is no pandemic” this is the slogan of freedom!
Reiner Fuellmich has amassed vast evidence that the Drosten PCR test and the man Drosten himself are total frauds- Drosten is a total charlatan, who will eventually end up in court for gross medical fraud – unless of course his powerful friends hide him away and the Courts are silenced .
We have the 99 Conservative rebels; the voters of Shropshire and Lord Frost to thank for this.
Johnson is finally scared ….. as he should be.
What about the 200 or so “Tories” who betrayed their constituents and voted for it? What do we say to them?
If my MP is typical (Tory who always votes with the government on Covidian issues), they won’t care what we say as they clearly regard us with utter contempt!
The feeling is increasingly mutual!
Given the unprecedented intrusion into our privacy by that blanket text message sent to all smartphones on Boxing Day – unlike in March 2020, a campaign of getting rid of booster vaccines does not constitute a ‘national emergency’ – I wonder if Javid and co are hoping that, thanks to jabbing even those with a +ye test might produce the ‘hospitalisation spike’ nee month, the spike they so desire.
As for that blanket texting which got lost during the Christmas holidays, go here for a brief report of what happened:
https://independencedaily.co.uk/your-ongoing-betrayal-tuesday-28th-december-2021/
I didn’t get that text btw – I blocked a number earlier on in the process, maybe that’s why?
My wife replied telling them to fuck off, unfortunately the sender doesn’t allow replies.
They know what they will get.
Wait until they come knocking at the door with the syringe in their hand!
Presumably they will be protect by newly trained Johnson Robocops.
It doesn’t come from a number, so can’t be blocked or replied to. They are sneaky bastards!
“Blessed be”, I didn’t get that text. Maybe because I was thankfully out of range somewhere on Dartmoor for that period. The message is simple, just switch the fuckers off. It was never a problem before. Just takes confidence that you can survive sans Smartphone.
Easier said than done though it seems. until you try it.
“…but none of them have been put to ministers yet.”
Are we still dong that?
Are we still pretending that parliamentary consultation is relevant?
Ministers reply in unison! “Baaaaa”
( Take that as a yes)
“after reviewing the latest data”. Translation- failing to harvest enough biased data
You didn’t have to have a smartphone to be text-raped by the hell service. Both my dumbphones were injected with the same filth.
The ‘evil’ spreads……..like a green slime in a 1950s Horror Movie
There will be a barrage of attempts by SAGE, labour, media etc to undermine and get Boris to impose restrictions.
Their best card is chaos caused by test and trace isolations, which could paralyse everything in places where almost no one has more than a sniffy nose.
Boris timidly has not imposed restrictions for a few days. He needs to urgently scrap most testing and isolating: scrap testing and isolating of schoolkids and scrap testing/ isolating of everyone without symptoms; otherwise he is setting himself up to fail.
News! Sage, Labour and the Media no longer work for Britain.
Johnson is not the ‘plaything’ of SAGE or the media or the opposition ( name only). They are his conduits for the agenda he signed up to in the spring of 2020, reiterated at many points throughout last year and this. He is in one accord with the mantra from various globalist organisations and their puppets, ” no one is safe until everyone is safe”….courtesy of the miracle ‘ vaccines’.
I don’t understand why the Daily Sceptic constantly recommends MSM articles often behind paywalls to anyone remotely sceptical. The MSM uses their headline to promote violence against sceptics and the unjabbed as they know over 90% of people read no further. All seems very much targeted to keep people in the regimes acceptable Overton Window. If we had a genuine free press (not a free masonic press) the nation wouldn’t be in the miserable state it is in now. All these articles are preparing the public by softening them up mentally.
Very sound points – whose side are some people actually on we wonder?
Too much time is wasted trying to make sense of their bogus claims, bent graphs and dodgy stats.
Not enough time concentrating on the real, chilling data from reliable objective sources.
We see “Controlled Opposition” and the end of the Free Press as we knew it.
” ‘Pseudo Pandemic ‘ New Normal Technocray” by Ian Davis spells out and fully documents the whole vast, now indisputable globalist conspiracy in graphically chilling detail – he must have worked through the night to put it all together.
Why isn’t it reviewed on here?
One day, someone will crack that egg. May that day come soon.
Suddenly I start to believe in the power pf prayer!
Javid now looks Bat Crazy! We should be worried.
Somebody should drown him in a barrel of piss.
Eightball is only interested in pumping his Pharma investments. As politicians go, he really is the shitweasel’s shitweasel.
The Government won’t spoil NYE. Just 2022 and beyond.
Watching his back, no doubt. Maybe they’re trying to wheedle their way out of the problems they’ve caused into 2022.
Is Sajid sitting on a cactus?
I feel terrible this morning. I got up, went to the loo, had a wash and was more than half way through breakfast when I realised I had not taken my morning LFT. I know I live alone and work from home but you just can’t be too careful.
I have plenty of test kits, about 300, that I keep in a cupboard along with the 30 packs of toilet rolls so I shall be alright.
More carrot’s.
Once the plebs have had their festive fun, lock them up again with nonsense data. These Digital ID’s will not implement themselves!
Well, now – ISN’T that kind of them?
Am I the only person to be annoyed by this “before the New Year” thing the media keep saying? The New Year is Sunday, not several weeks or months away. Any promise not to do something “before the New Year” means they aren’t planning on changing anything in the next 4 days. To people wondering whether they can open their businesses next week, this is not reassuring. To a guy who runs a restaurant and legitimately wants to know whether he should spend several thousand pounds on ordering food for next week, it’s tantamount to a slap in the face and being told “how dare you small fry seek to hurry our grand deliberations.”
Who wants to stick a swab containing mercury and glass down your throat or up your nose before going out on New Year’s Eve?
These tests are about as reliable as Neil Ferguson’s predictions.
Additionally if no-one tested then there wouldn’t be any cases. Simples.
Should the photograph of Javid try to show a less clueless UK health minister? Perhaps he always looks like this. Somehow it doesn’t exude confidence – offer him a part in a pantomime as a more appropriate career perhaps?
