The Prime Minister has admitted that the Omicron strain is “obviously milder than the Delta variant” and told the public that they should enjoy New Year’s Eve, burdened by as few restrictions as possible. However, Boris has also urged people to be “cautious and sensible” and urged everyone to get jabbed. MailOnline has more.
Boris Johnson today gave the green light for people to celebrate on New Year’s Eve but urged the nation to be “cautious and sensible”.
The Prime Minister said he believes “everybody should enjoy New Year” despite the spread of the Omicron variant.
He said the strain ‘continues to cause real problems’, with hospitalisations rising, but the data shows it is ‘obviously milder than the Delta variant’.
Johnson said the booster jab rollout means England does not currently need new Covid restrictions, despite Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all imposing new rules on socialising.
The premier today repeated his plea to the nation to get boosted as he warned that 90% of Covid patients in intensive care units across the country had not received the top-up dose…
Johnson has promised that there will be no new Covid rules in England before New Year’s Eve.
His decision not to roll out extra curbs is in contrast to the actions taken in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where additional restrictions have been imposed after Christmas.
The Prime Minister said this morning during a visit to a vaccination centre in Milton Keynes that the vaccination programme meant “we are able to proceed in the way that we are”.
He said: “The Omicron variant continues to cause real problems. We are seeing cases rising in hospitals but it is obviously milder than the Delta variant and we are able to proceed in the way that we are.
“But there is one reason and one reason only why we are able to do that and that is because such a huge proportion of the British public have come forward to get vaccinated and particularly to get boosted.
“We have done about 32 and a half, maybe more, million booster jabs now and that is allowing us to go ahead with New Year in the cautious way that we are.
“But I cannot stress too much how vital it is for everybody to get that booster jab, particularly the 2.4 million people who have had two jabs but haven’t yet had their booster, they had two jabs more than six or seven months ago, so they are eligible for their booster but they are not yet coming forward to get it.
“So I would say to people, come forward and get your booster, it is a fantastic thing to do, it makes a huge amount of difference to you, it protects you, and I’m sorry to say this but the overwhelming majority of people who are currently ending up in intensive care in our hospitals are people who are not boosted.
“I have talked to doctors who say the numbers are running up to 90% of people in intensive care who are not boosted.
“If you are not vaccinated you are eight times more likely to get into hospital altogether.”
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: Boris Johnson said that 90% of Covid patients in ICU are unvaccinated, a claim that may be true but isn’t supported by any of the publicly available date. Read Will Jones’s recent piece looking at what the published data says about the ratio of unvaccinated to vaccinated patients in hospital here.

“Good evening loyal subjects…
Um… after engaging in considerable dialogue with our scientific experts, and Peppa Pig’s careful analysis of the data we’ve decided it’s probably all for the best that we let you, our great nations inmates have another few nights off and a hum-dingah of a New Year’s Eve party to let off some more post restrictive collective steam.
However agh…you do know what’s coming soon after as the price you’ll have to pay early next year as the explosive surge of um… Omicron will be squarely blamed -on your irresponsible mass behavior – when it all goes tits up…
So think of the next few days um… as walking across a deadly minefield… as in move across very gently on your belly and perhaps breathe quietly or even better hop between taking very large steps…
Agh… Covid has of course kindly agreed to take a very small amount of time off here in Westminster (for the greater good) so that the looming Govt cheese and wine parties will go ahead as splendidly as last December!
Prof Whitty, Vallance and all at SAGE know we can all 110% trust in the common sense of the great British people over this continuing festive period.
Finally, agh… sorry chaps, um gotta dash Carrie’s made a delish curry out of the leftovers from our Peacock & Swan Xmas lunch…”
Yours faithfully,
Boris
Theatre for the stupid
Nothing more nothing less
‘Boris Johnson today gave the green light for people to celebrate on New Year’s Eve…’
Think about the level of absurdity and arrogance in that sentence. Who the hell does this jumped-up parasite think he is?
‘…but urged the nation to be “cautious and sensible”.
In the same way that you and your mob have been ‘cautious’ and ‘sensible’?
Just sod off, you odious tosser.
‘…but urged the nation to be “cautious and sensible”.
In the same way that you and your knob have been ‘cautious’ and ‘sensible’?
Just what I was about to say. If he had been more sensible with his tool, he might not have all those kids, and 2 ex wives!
Let’s throw caution to the winds and party like there’s no tomorrow … there probably isn’t.
It’ll be just like the cold war threat of nuclear apocalypse!
Once again the (made up) 90% figure pulled out of thin air.
This time, though, it’s “90% not boosted“, not “90% unvaccinated“, or are they now classing the “not boosted” as “unvaccinated”?
Damn! I’ve gave myself a headache.
Someone posted this on the LockdownSceptics subreddit
https://twitter.com/kateemccann/status/1476143761243656197?s=21
“Have asked No10 to clarify the ‘up to 90pc of patients in ICU are not boosted’ figure and spokesman for PM says this is anecdotal evidence from “some NHS Trusts” which Boris Johnson was reflecting.”
Good spot, Julian. Bet you won’t see that mentioned in the “Worth reading in full.” Mail article.
No, it’s not! The most rated comments are; the article itself is a load of pish!
I suppose that’s obvious from his careful politician’s wording of his assertion:
“I have talked to doctors who say the numbers are running up to 90% of people in intensive care who are not boosted.”
Remember that a politician is a professional liar. They know how to get a dishonest message across while protecting themselves from direct attack.
I think that some of them are just amateurs who are doing it for the money…
I think those are just the very poor quality professionals….
Quite. “up to 90%” could mean 10%. Or lower. Like all those sales ploys: up to 50% off,when it’s actually just a few pence.
It could mean that 90% of people in ICU have had 2 vaccines, but not a third. This would mean that vaccine protection against serious illness is relatively short lived (unlike natural immunity) and we could soon be following Israel and administering 4th doses (obviously followed by 5th, 6th etc.).
If the effectiveness of vaccines only being short lived was deliberately planned by big pharma to maximize profits, then they have played a blinder, but only because governments are stupid and profligate with tax payers money.
If someone sold me a used car that broke down after 6 months I wouldn’t go back and ask them to sell me another one, a better response would be “Fuck off and come back when you have something much better to offer”. This should be the governments response to Pfizer etc.
Yes, classic politician’s telling the “truth”.
On the Nigel Farage show, 48% was given as a more realistic number overall. And this includes people who are unable to be “vaccinated” for health reasons (and therefore more likely to be hospitalised) and a disproportionate number of poor and ethnic minorities (who are more likely to have low vitamin D and be in poor health).
Oh yes, and people less than 2 weeks after an injection!
Aka total lies and bull excrement.
BBC just slipped this “anecdotal evidence” into their first report on News at 6, with no further expansion so stated as fact.
Their main stories this evening are: Covid, Covid, some bloke who dressed as a woman has died, Raheem Sterlng race-bating again, a once thought extinct fish is not dead.
So, no change there then.
You should post this news round up every day at 6. I love it.
”up to”
In East London wasn’t it? Where a lot of people are poor and on the margins (and therefore worse health). And a lot of ethnic minorities with low vitamin D levels (and we know why for some of them!). The poor and some ethnic minorities are rather less likely to take these “vaccines”.
Someone said that this 90% figure applied to no more than a few hundred people.
It’s really only one: Up to 90% of the people in ICU didn’t have the last Pfizer shot when it was due. This obviously applies to people who didn’t have any of them, people who had only one and people who had two but the last one more than x (they’re still making up their mind re: what x shall we use her) months ago.l
The long and short of that is that everyone is unvaccinated most of the time, regardless of how many so-called COVID vaccination he already had. Someone’s obviously trying to pull a flu here, that is, periodic reinjection of $magical_protection_stuff, but with much shorter intervals and without the inconvienece of actually having to produce new vaccines all the time. Damn Sars-CoV2 mutated again! Let’s have another round of the same injection!
Optimized for maximum revenue and minimum R&D cost.
The “threat” of covid will last as long as the patent title does.
Was talking today to someone who works in NHS – the conversation would be worthy of a long post I don’t have time for at moment – could be summarised along lines of “if this is what they think then we have totally lost this war” – but this NHs worker informed me they had been told to have their flu shot and their covid booster because the covid booster stops you getting the flu.
I will wager a bet that 90%+ of those in hospital are over 70 too, regardless of vaccine status.
but age, underlying health conditions, metabolic status [obese] are minor trifling details when the only thing that matters is that binary vaxxed or unvaxxed status
Yes, I wonder how many genuinely healthy under 60’s who have never had one of these injections have gone into intensive care from (not with) “covid” lately?
Sort of question a proper journalist would ask.
I had Delta.
If I hadn’t been tested I’d have put it down as one of the milder coughs of the year.
If Omicron is milder I can’t even think of that as barely registering.
If you’re healthy I urge everyone to get mentally healthy with a well deserved ignoring of the apocalypse mongers and a good few drinks and partying and have fun.
I have NatImmunity – when I encounter a variant my immune system lets me know about it. My brush with Delta left me feeling a bit like I had a bit of a bug – passed in 24 hours. If I have had a brush with Omicron it has been no more than a bit tired for a day with a runny nose off and on – certainly not worth shutting down the hospitality industry, ruining Christmas and trashing the economy – again.
Up yours, Johnson, I’ll have the New Year I want. Because I know that, contrary to your endless lies, there’s no reason to do any different.
Does anyone take any notice of the prime minister? What authority do his words carry? I haven’t watched or listened to any of his broadcasts.
Despite things getter better this is still a classic pharma scam. I’ve been tracking this in psychiatry since at least 2006. In that department people are conned into taking psychiatric drugs “or the disorder will return”. The same with vaccines where people are pressured to sign up “or the lockdowns will return”.
Antidepressants are one of pharma’s big money-spinners as people get hooked on them for years and years. Seemingly they are keen to replicate this business model with the clotshots.
For 20 years I have been telling people that over prescription of SSRIs would be the biggest medical scandal ever. Bastards snuck the fake covid vax in just to prove me wrong.
That’s right, big pharma are past masters of the hard sell.
Confused. Surely nobody gives a flying f*ck what this moron says anymore? Anybody that still does is an even bigger moron. I’m hoping the brainwashed are slowly starting to do what they used to do before all this bullshit – thinking for themselves.
The many people around the world who’ve been brainwashed did NOT think for themselves before all this BS… that’s the point! For, if they’d thought for themselves in the past, they’d have done so now… and hence not fallen for this egregious, heinous global scam.
Yes and the signs are not good – the people I know are so brainwashed and so far down this rabbit hole that there is no reaching them now.
Don’t underestimate how many easily frightened people there are out there. The country’s buggered.
Why don’t we trust the ‘experts’?

But I cannot stress too much how vital it is for everybody to get that booster jab, particularly the 2.4 million people who have had two jabs but haven’t yet had their booster, they had two jabs more than six or seven months ago, so they are eligible for their booster but they are not yet coming forward to get it.

Why is this ‘worth reading in full’?
Interesting how its morphed from ‘I saw a survey’ to ‘ I have talked to doctors’. His ridiculous 90% came from a chat with a doctor then, probably prompted by Johnson wanting a ‘grunt’ to justify a line for the media. Liar, liar liar.
He and Philip Johnston have obviously talked to the same doctor.
Is it significant that Luke refers here to “Boris Johnson” rather than the traditional matey “Boris”, alone, that we have in the past been used to above the line on DS/LS?
Have we seen the back of that obnoxious practice, or is this just a chance usage?
Is there a chance that we might eventually see the full dropping of his self-serving cuddly stage nickname? It’s not as though we owe him any favours, given what he’s inflicted on the country over the past 22 months, even if the Labour and “Conservative” alternatives would surely have been far worse.
You have to wonder if this relentless campaign of coercing people to have the booster is really aimed at eliminating the control group and with it any evidence of the negative effectiveness of the vaccines. If this virus is such a serious threat as the authorities claim, then why is it that they can’t even be bothered to keep the government dashboard up to date during the holiday season. Really, what a shitshow!
It won’t work if so. Even this country will never be 100%, and many more won’t take it elsewhere. (Or do they just pretend that the Amish didn’t happen?).
On the off chance that you are reading this Johnson….DO ONE.
“Boris Johnson today gave the green light for people to celebrate on New Year’s Eve but urged the nation to be “cautious and sensible”.”
This would be the Boris Johnson who didn’t wear a face mask at the G7 meeting, didn’t wear a face mask at the COP26 shindig, and who doesn’t wear a face mask in Parliament?
Lecturing others on ‘being careful’.
How gracious of him to “give the green light” and allow us to celebrate, oh thank you, Dear Leader. Will you be giving your mate Darius Guppy the ‘green light’ to have another journalist beaten up, like you did before?
‘But I cannot stress too much how vital it is for everybody to get that booster jab,’
Why, Boris?
I’ve just been talking to a neighbour whose double vaxxed and boosted wife had covid for the second time over Christmas and is still quite unwell. The booster did not protect her.
But it would have been so much worse…
If any justice comes out of all of this, Boris Johnson and his string-pullers and cronies will be having a very incautious and insensible future.
Johnson and his band of cowardly subservient criminals should be made to see double.
Opinions might change when today’s case numbers are released.
Rumours are they’ll be pushing 200k.
Do you think “case” numbers still have the fearmongering power they once had?
I suspect not.
Oh, it is completely meaningless — now more than ever. But it is what is used to create the fear, so expect the usual fearmongers (BBC etc) to go ballistic in a few minutes from now…
I see the actual figure is just over 183,000. To my mind the two salient questions are (1) how many of these people are seriously ill and (2) how many of these people are double-jabbed and boostered? In the meantime, the fatality figures continue to fall (though I don’t expect the BBC to report that). I certainly haven’t seen anything in these figures that will persuade me to have the booster.
Define a case again please.
It’s whatever Whitty decides it is, as the next slide will show.
sir witless the good boy
The casedemic continues then. Otherwise known as “how to keep a scam going.”
Come back when you’ve got evidence, a man nonsense. Take a downtick.
183k. Not far off. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=overview&areaName=United%20Kingdom
I also note that Wales had 10k cases of Omicron yesterday (ie, today’s release), and just posted 6k positive cases for all variants for yesterday. I think that makes it -4k cases of Delta.
and how many tests did it take to continue the panicdemic ?
They’ve now run out, so ‘all of them‘.
If by “cases” you mean “positive test results without any symptoms” then they are TOTALLY MEANINGLESS. It is now hard to avoid the conclusion that the figures are made up and have been from the get go – the tests are fraudulent, they can be manipulated to show any result they want, the “deaths” from the early months of the ‘pandemic’ were largely old people Midazolamed off for ‘a good death’ and anyone who dies for any reason, including a car accident or cancer, is chalked up as a covid death – I have personal experience of same.
Is that with the catchup for the Christmas holidays?
A pity more people don’t have the sense to look at the South Africa figures, where “cases” now appear to have peaked.
Actually, I seem to remember that Northern Ireland reported for five days. I don’t know about other provinces.
Should we praise our great leader for this wonderful gift of freedom?
Erect a statue in his memory? Perhaps everyone should hang a picture of him above their cold empty fire place & reminisce how masculine & dangerous the world was before masks & heating.
Kneel & thank our excellency for decimation of OUR fine NHS & the good fortune of inflation.
I’ve been pretty unwell the last few days. Bad cough and just generally feeling shite. The evil shit to whom I am married has been totally unsupportive, saying it’s all my fault because if I’d got myself jabbed I would be better by now. Obviously to him it’s Covid rather than what we used to call the flu. He’s also pissed off that I won’t take a test to prove him right. Seems to have forgotten the 3 weeks in November when he was ill despite being double jabbed and boosted, which I refrained from pointing out at the time. I am feeling very low right now – living with someone so nasty and unpleasant is really taking its toll.
Bless you, hopefully you’ll be on the mend soon, full of antibodies ready to fight the next variant!!!
Sorry to hear that. The only solution is to leave him as soon as you’re able. I speak from bitter experience!
Spit in his porridge.
…or worse.
Urine can be actually quite good for you, but there’s not much money in it (unlike tests or “vaccines”) so you tend not to hear about it…
I hope you feel better soon, HelzBelz. It really is no fun being flued up and having little or no support.
My last wife’s indifference during my illness was the last straw for me. I’ve not regretted for a single moment leaving her sorry ass after that.
Sorry to hear this.
The whole thing is tearing some families apart.
This resource and many others is a good way to show family members that politicians, their scientific advisers and many medics are either deliberately lying or are unaware of the contrarian view.
Some in my family are against the jab but have had it so they can take their 83 year old mother on her annual foreign holiday.
Another family member has been jabbed because her boyfriends mother is having cancer treatment. They didn’t like it when I told them they are more likely to catch it now that they’ve been jabbed.
The rest of us are holding out but at least we are doing it amicably.
Good luck for the future and stay true to your beliefs based on being well informed.
Don’t forget, dividing families against each other may be a deliberate tactic by the wicked villains who are driving this shambles. Still, I’m not sure if there’s any easy way of fighting it even if true.
I think the one good thing to come out of all this, is you actually get to find out who people really are – that includes family and friends who you used to think highly of, but it turns out are just weak/morally corrupt/thick/evil (delete as appropriate). I’d prefer to know tbh. Good luck. Every cloud…
Too true!
It reminds me of that film when a group got stranded on a mountain (or some such) and you got to see who would act bravely, who was more concerned about saving their phone than people, and so on.
And also to others offering advice on what to do.
My advice – make sure you get the CD collection if you leave.
Seriously, my sympathies.
PS I am a Solicitor.
Helz I hope you feel better soon – do you have any quercetin, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C to hand, can anyone order these for you from somewhere? All will help to get you on the mend. The one consolation you have is that if it is covid then you have natural immunity.
I sympathise with having to live with someone who isn’t supportive. I have been on my own for the whole of the last 2 years of the lockdown. Initially it was hard – latterly I have come to see it for the blessing it is, because as a sceptic I would have found it hard to live with a total double/triple jabbed covidian which must be VERY trying indeed.
Add fresh lemon juice to everything. Squeeze lemons over salads, curries, fish, lamb, burgers, soups, rice dishes, desserts, tea, etc. Get tons of super strong/effective Vitamin C that way. It helps massively. Most supermarkets have fresh lemons for relatively little cost still. And butter for vitamin A. And yes, eat coriander or dill or capers for quercetin to help absorb zinc from foods.
I always add dill to cooked meals. I had never realised there was any benefit to it! I must admit I haven’t been seriously ill during this shambles – the odd cold maybe.
Get involved with Stand in the Park if you have a group nearby. I’ve found a brilliant network of supportive new friends .
You are aware that several people on here will give you an alibi, OK?
He’ll get it next.
Tell him to bugger off. He’s evidently an utter moron and tube.
surely that means 90% in icu have had a vaccination but not their booster.
you need to be vaccinated first to get a booster!!
I assume the remaining 10% to be either the unvaccinated or the booster or perhaps a combination of the 2 but not those that have had at least 1 jab but not boosted.
‘Weasel words’ I believe is the phrase.
I looked up Weasel Words and it redirected me to a page of the sayings of Dear Leader Bor IsJon Sun.
Could be the remaining 10% are not even covid-related, meaning the jabbed are responsible for 100% of covid-related ICU admissions. Oops.
They claimed 90% in ICU were un-jabbed and got called out for their bullshitting, now they have backpedalled themselves into an even tighter corner by admitting the double jabbed are disproportionately taking up ICU beds while the un-jabbed enjoy their new year wondering what all the fuss is about.
But of coarse more vaccinations are still the solution, more and more and more.
‘Cautious and sensible NY and get your booster’, WHY?
Isn’t it highly likely that many of those in ICU are likely to be the very ill and frail, who haven’t been boosted because of their condition?
Yes.
In Bombshell Admission, CDC Drops Post-Isolation PCR Test Because They Can ‘Remain Positive Up To 12 Weeks’
if that is the case does it not drive a coach and horses [yet another one] through the whole vaxx passport shite???
Patronising lying c*nt.
I’m going to invite work colleagues around to my back garden for wine. May leave a cheeseboard out too.
You mean you will be having a business meeting. Wearing suits.
Yep that ‘business meeting’ thing has been a THING for a while…
Shove your booster up yer ass. And the first two.
However, they will argue that since jabbings were brought in, hardly anyone has died of covid.
I realise that nowhere near 145,000 have died from covid, but how do WE explain the apparent drop in deaths since this time last year?
If it wasn’t the jabs, are they simply lying (which sounds bonkers), or how do we counter this argument?
Any thoughts?
The variants are milder and a lot of the most vulnerable already succumbed in spring 2020
Okay. Why are they being psychotic about the milder variants (cabals, corruption, intentional evil, etc. aside)? Why is it still continuing?
“cabals, corruption, intentional evil, etc. aside” I think you’ve covered it all really. Arse-covering, love of power – evil and corrupt whichever way you look at it
So the jabs had no effect or some effect? (They will always contrast 145,000 dead with 1,800 jab side effects deaths in order to claim they saved the world).
In short maybe Toby was partially right about cockups, but the exorbitances of governments (e.g. Austria, Australia) need to be added to this for a fuller, more realistic, explanation.
For the record, I agree it is all demonic bullcrap, but I just want a concise ‘reasonable’ description for casual conversations with compliers.
No real idea about the jabs, tbh. Gut feel is that they didn’t help much, but the data regarding covid is irretrievably compromised (deliberate). Even if they did help, mass vaxxing of healthy non-vulnerable people for political purposes was and is simply evil.
Maybe the jabs were ALL saline? Or some other harmless solution. The idea is to make people subservient and take them as a sign of their total and unquestioning obedience. Their reward – the Vaxx Pass. Which gets taken away from them is they dare to misbehave.
My mother in law is convinced there’s nothing in the jabs. She’s 80 something and thinks all of this is utter nonsense. She doesn’t want to be “saved”.
I’m seeing massive deterioration in one of my parents which can only be attributable to the jabs. How also do we account for the post jabbing deaths and injuries – the rash of myocarditis cases in footballers and other athletes? Yeadon is convinced of the bad batch theory – it is hard to discount this.
Well given the side-effects, they couldn’t all have been, right?
Best to say it is pharma ruthlessly making money. Which is true too.
Part of it is classic disaster capitalism – when there is social disruption (whatever the cause) politicians and big business will look to use that to further their own ends – in this case, the politicians appear to be using it to try to introduce digital ID and further surveilance, and certain sectors of big business are doing very well indeed out of it – big pharma, obviously, but also others such as Amazon and Microsoft.
There are, of course, extensive ties between government and big business and the two are happy to work together for mutual benefit…
Thanks. So that could be filed under corruption or intentional evil or cabals.
I suppose stupidity is a reason, albeit from the populace more than governments.
Also power factions, and the marginalising/censorship of dissent, consultation, scientific scrutiny.
A lot to unpack, but not too difficult once youve lived through it!
Stupidity (gullibility) on the part of the general population, and cowardice from institutions, but the chief liars know they are lying. No way that Whitty et al don’t know this is all bollocks, they are way cleverer than you or I, ditto the PM – he may not do detail but he’s not daft.
Sure. And if it’s lies, it seems it comes back to cabals or some ‘inner circle’ devilry. Maybe a ‘soft cabal’ of some kind rather than an omnipotent sort.
Cleverer than us? We’ll see!
Soft cabal? Maybe. Rulers since time immemorial have generally tended to want more power, if they can get away with it.
Cleverer than us in so far as understanding viral epidemics, but I think guilty of hubris which will be their downfall.
Soft as in banal, I guess. It’s not Darth Sidious and Count Dooku, but Skeletor Blair and some other bores… a bunch of masons, essentially. They’ve probably been around for a long time, but nobody cared until now. They are much less powerful than they like to believe, long-term.
I suppose I am trying to ‘de-psychoticize’ the ‘cabal phenomenon’ (or postulation) in order to clear some of the rhetorical mist (without denying any real truth in it) and get a more balanced perspective.
Who knows? Some people seem sure, I am not convinced there’s enough evidence for anyone to be sure. What I convinced of is that these bastards know they are lying and do not mean well, and that means they are sinful (and probably criminal) and deserve severe punishment, in this life or the next.
Because they can.
My take on this from the beginning was that this was all about control of people. International travel restrictions remain in place. Most people are now prisoners in their own countries. It is possible to travel abroad, but nowhere near as easy as pre-March 2020, with having to arrange PCR tests and paperwork, the expense of this, and the quarantines imposed.
Now that governments have seen how willing their populations have been to bend to their demands, why give up these powers of ’emergency’?
Even if ‘Covid’ has gone (even if it existed, I have my doubts) it will still be milked and used as an excuse. As we all know, all it takes is for someone – anyone – to say there’s another ‘variant’ on the loose and the Covid Circus will continue to rumble along.
Just as MPs will continue to glance at e-mails from their constituents and consign them to the trash folder. If you are just moaning and not offering them £50,000, they’re not interested.
“International travel restrictions remain in place. “
Except for those without any documents illegally entering the country across the channel and lying about their age etc.
Border Force = Patel’s Taxi Service. They give a call half way across the Channel to be picked up. On the other hand, I have been reading about some of the terrible things many real refugees are face with.
My general outlook is to take genuine refugees in, look after them, and return them to their own country when it gets put back in order.
It is a complicated thing all in all, and we must remember that it is British arms manufacturers supplying weapons to the likes of the Saudis who are bombing Yemen. There shouldn’t be refugees in the first place.
It all gets a bit messy…. but anyway, let’s get back to Covid and thinking of drowning Johnson in a barrel of piss.
“return them to their own country when it gets put back in order.”
Possibly, but a lot of these countries never seem to get back in order. Not that we have much to shout about any more.
Why did they shift from promoting travel, to restricting it, on non-Covidian terms?
None of them believe in Climate nonsense, do they?
Isn’t there more money and power in allowing free-flow of people across borders, including wealthy tourists, than in restricting it?
You are right, I believe, that the ‘Covid-effect’ will linger for decades: buggering up all our lives on so many levels.
Once almost everyone agrees Covid is lethal, a culture and economy of Covid develops, which will prove very hard to dismantle (it may need a revolution after all).
I doubt they believe in the climate nonsense or anything else except their own power and glory – they will jump on whatever bandwagon is going to get and hold on to power, prestige, money, glory and keep themselves out of jail.
SO they might well jettison both the Covid ‘tool’ and the Climate ‘tool’ at any time, to stay ahead of the curve.
Thus nasty politicians will prepare to emerge as ‘saviours’ in 1-2 years and ‘abolish covidianism’ if it suits them, or Climate crap.
Their own perverse utilitarian evil is funnily enough our only hope, as it were (it’s not really, but you known what I mean).
The covid tool has worked well so far but they seem to be running out of steam and having to tell bigger and bigger lies. I try not to think about the future too much, just try to stay healthy mentally and physically, enjoy life, look after my family and push back against the Big Lie in whatever way I can.
Overall, if all this is true, it just strikes me as such a pointless waste.
‘Man is appointed to die once, and then face judgement’ (Hebrews 9:27).
‘For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted’ (2 Corinthians 12:21)
I am afraid the whole covid panic has been the most pointless waste in global history, which has benefited a tiny number of people only, and only for a short time, but set back progress by a long way (or it’s indicative that we have been going in the wrong direction for a long time).
I don’t know know why anyone would want to be a lying bastard ruler, but that’s just me – not my thing. Doesn’t seem like much fun, but we’re all different. Hard to think that sort of person has sweet dreams, but perhaps I just like to think that’s the case.
I don’t think there’s much doubt that the vaccines work initially. The question is, can the country afford to keep buying universally-offered booster shots from now to eternity?
Much better to get some proper full immunity from Omicron and then ride it out.
Oh, and the ‘initially’ bit obviously ignores any damage that might ensue to the body’s immune system from repeated vax treatments, and other long-term effects that can’t be known yet because of the speed of vax development and approval.
So, a summary:
Is all this, if reliable, cock-upism, cabal inspired, or a hybrid, or neither?
“Less than 145,000 have died of Covid (50,000? who knows?) – not so many as to constitute ‘excess death’ for the years 2020-2021”
There was an increase in all-cause mortality in 2020 (and this year) against recent years which have seen the lowest mortality ever recorded. 2020 was at 2008 levels – possibly a bit of covid and a bit of collateral damage from lockdowns, and withdawal of care. Lots of other countries, including countries with lots of “covid deaths” had HARDLY ANY increase in mortality as against recent years. So covid has probably had some impact but it’s NOT a societal level emergency and not exceptional.
Yes. The ‘exceptionlity’ was in the few years when mortality bottomed out.
“I don’t think there’s much doubt that the vaccines work initially.”
Work how? For whom? I’ve never seen any convincing data. “Covid deaths” went up sharply at the same time as the vaccines were initially rolled out to the vulnerable, in the UK and elsewhere. IMO anyone not vulnerable is bananas if they get vaxxed for health reasons given the very low risk of covid and the unknown long term (and short term) risks of the emergency, experimental vaxx. Anyone vulnerable, I am not convinced either. The data has been obfuscated at every turn.
“Much better to get some proper full immunity from Omicron and then ride it out.”
That will only work for the unjabbed – and the full immunity is not recognised by nation states because it makes no money for big pharma
The jabbed will never have proper full immunity because of what the jabs have done to their immune system – they are now on that jabbing conveyor belt for life, apart from the fact that the jabs are also harming their immune system to produce something akin to vaccine acquire immuno deficiency syndrome [a kind of jab derived aids]
Read the Pfizer trial results. No overall mortality benefit, and that’s even with the fiddling of figures the whistleblower revealed. The vax do next to nothing.
Boozer. Not booster.
Latest Ice Age Farmer video.
Vaccine mandates steadily crippling the supply chain. Farmers not even being allowed to deliver grain without proof of compliance.
China is expected to have stockpiled 69% of the global maize reserves in the first half of crop year 2022, 60% of its rice and 51% of its wheat. China knows what is coming.
Thx!
I shall say this cautiously and sensibly.
Fuck off Johnson!
Any doctors in the house?
Do people just drop dead? Warning: someone just dropping dead! (Ignore the narrator)
Throw your smartphone away.
Cautious and sensible? Get Tae fuck, Kim Jong-Johnson, you and your domestic abuse, imposed on whim.
Sod off Johnson, I am out to enjoy myself, along with others on the 31st.
He’s still talking a heap of stinking horseshit, even as he tries to placate the Tory rebels. What an absolute cunt. Fuck him
Don’t beat about the bush.
Just say what you really think.
You won’t be joining his fan club, then?!
Once a lying sack of shit, always a lying sack of shit….
“If you are not vaccinated you are eight times more likely to get into hospital altogether.”
When is the next election? Then again, who is there to vote for?
“I cannot stress too much how vital it is..” for everyone to ignore Boris Johnson’s bullsh*t and get on with living their lives.
The only notice I am now giving is grabbing my Exemption badge on the way out the door so snotty people don’t bother me.
Oh and deleting the constant messages to my phone for my booster.
Word of advice, never give a government department or public sector service your phone number, insist on snail mail contact.
Another word of advice, never give your phone or email to private sector corporations if you have any value for your privacy.
Remember when this all started we were hearing from doctors Italian wards were filled with young people. Reality is the average age of death was 82. Then there was the almost everyone in hospital was unvaxed. Then it turned out that the data came from a period when 80% of the nation was. Now another word from a doctor that Boris repeats without any data to back it up (and the fact many of the patients in ICU are secondary Covid patients and that they have been there long enough to have never gotten their booster during Delta anyways).
We must demand of our government and the media this old fashioned thing called facts. Show us Boris that those in ICU, primarily for Covid, are boosterless and the date of admission.
The data brings truth and truth will set you free!

Do the dinghy people get 3 jabs on arrival?
If you’ve not had any jabs, is there any point in having one, if you have to wait at least 12 weeks between jabbing, the Omicon wave will be over by then & you’ll need a 4th or 5th jab to protect you against mutants.
I’ve concluded It’s impossible to catch up & it’s best to just not bother at all.
“I’ve concluded It’s impossible to catch up & it’s best to just not bother at all.”
Yeah, there always seems to be so many better things to do….
I refuse to live like a hermit in Johnson’s State of Fear. 2022 is the year I sincerely hope humanity rejects all the governmental and corporate terrorism, and starts to live again, like we are supposed to.
We are supposed to be going to my other half’s sister tomorrow. We have met her intermittently over the past 20 months. Last time was about a month ago. She and her husband are triple jabbed.
Out of the blue, she has texted him and suggested that we take LF tests before meeting, and they will do the same.
My response is simple: No, no, no.
My other half says he will claim to have done it and it’s clear, but I refuse to lie. I won’t take one (a moot point as we don’t have any, lol), but I refuse to validate someone else’s neurosis.
So it’s going to be an interesting time, and a test of our relationship!
I refuse to lie. I am not a good liar and it’s a fucking imposition to have to lie about something that is meant to be a pleasure.
He says he can’t be doing with arguments, plus she isn’t going to know if you took a test or not.
I’m still not playing along. It’s just against everything I am. It’s admitting I think there’s a danger and a problem, and I won’t do it. He might have to go on his own.
At work one colleague is saying he may not serve a maskless person. Told him is was diskrim against the likes of me, the exempt. The vidians are encroaching for sure though…
Potential contravention of the Equality Act right there – if the person isn’t able to wear a mask because of a recognised medical condition, then this will apply.
Shame. I think I would not go. I might make an exception for someone very very close and dear to me, perhaps a parent who had nurtured me, or a child. Not for anyone else. Of course they won’t know but that’s not the point. Pushing someone into a corner and making them into a liar is very rude.
What happens if she wants to see evidence – maybe make him take an LFT outside her home and wait in the shed for 30 minutes for the lines to show in that little plastic piece of crap from a Christmas cracker Made in China?
Will you be wearing face masks inside their home?
My partner’s sister had a graduation party for her daughter 3 weeks ago – about 30 guests (relations) – all had to wear face masks inside her house. I’m not joking. I didn’t go to that freak show.
I believe you. People have gone demented. I don’t wear a mask, and certainly wouldn’t for a family visit.
It is batshit insanity.
A strange tale. It prompts the tricky philosophical question, Why would one want to socialize with deranged morons.
Well, to be fair, they’ve been ok up until now. That’s why I’m surprised. And she is his sister. I don’t have any siblings, so don’t really know what it’s like.
I wonder how Carrie and Boris are getting on with their relationship. As Boris doesn’t wear a face mask and clearly knows Covid is a con, I’m guessing Carrie also is aware that Covid is a fraud, as she hasn’t moved out, has she?
Boris lies, Carrie supports him.
Did she take the deadbabyjuice while pregnant with little Rabid?
She said she did – I expect she did.
I think your position is the correct one.
Trying to make people think is always a bit of a lost cause because they often resent that, but you could try the following: Assuming she and her husband watch BBC evening news, they should remember numerous reports about the terrible situation of the population of Afghanistan — because the Taliban are again in power there. Judging from these reports, they don’t seem to have any COVID there. Isn’t this a bit strange?
I was supposed to be meeting up with a friend for lunch at some point in the next few weeks. She’s called it off because I don’t (and won’t) engage in the testing obsession.

BoJo the clown taken to COURT over Covid Passes
Government threatened with legal challenge over ‘discriminatory’ Covid passes
Error!
That’s not what Boris Johnson said. He said “unboosted“, not “unvaccinated”.
I do not believe Johnson for one single moment.
Starmer should eviscerate him on this, but he won’t.
Will’s piece cites Sajid Javid and the Times article from 4 December which cites NHS England as saying that “between July and November more than nine in 10 patients receiving the most specialist care, in which artificial lungs were used to try to save their lives, were unvaccinated”.
Johnson isn’t saying that. In a very Trumpian way, he said
There is NO WAY that that’s true.
There is NO WAY that that’s true.
It’s not!
Thanks to Julian for posting below:

In plain English, Numbers are running up to 90% of people in intensive care who are not boosted means Less than 90% of people in intensive care are not boosted (but someone claims to be convinced that 90% will eventually be reached).
‘Starmer should eviscerate him on this, but he won’t.’
Both are on team globalist, the Tories and Labour are essentialy the same party, which is why Labour keep on voting for Johnson’s covid scam.
One doctor has claimed it. Is all he’s saying.
Darling, she meant nothing to me.
Listening to Bunter talk about anything technical is like watching a dog trying to crochet.
Dogs are excellent at the art of croquet.
Some are also rabid and barking-mad. This cur definitely is.
I’m sorry Mr Johnson but I don’t recognise your authority.
But as a booster follows two previous vaccinations then surely 90% of patients in ICU are double vaccinated.
Yes, but double perforated now counts the same as unperforated. Remember Through the Looking Glass? You run and run and at the end of it, you’re back where you started.
Six impossible things before breakfast
My personal observation is that those that get the boosta often come down with the dreaded covids shortly afterwards – ‘missed it by that much’.
It is almost like they are injecting the disease into people.
Together in Cardiff (God bless them!)
My daughter – boosted (3rd jab) Thursday 23 Dec – LFT positive Sunday 26, PCR positive Monday 27
My son in law – boosted (3rd jab) Friday 24 Dec – LFT positive Thursday 30, likely PCR positive if daughter is anything to go by.
Any more for any more?
No he didn’t. I watched him. He said 90% were not boosted.
Bozo has been ordered to ramp it all up starting early January and has decided to let the people of this country have one last fling before the real evil kicks in.
That’s my take – I do hope I am wrong.
My uncle has received a letter from the nhs stating that if gets covid symptoms, he can now be treated with an at home pill, sounds like Molnupiravir, initially developed to treat influenza,
blimey, he doesn’t sound like he’d be much fun at the Christmas ‘work meeting’.
FO BoJo.
Of course it’s not true. Neither are yesterdays test figures. How do you get so many positives when tests havn’t been available from chemists or from online order for 2 days. I havn’t been able to get them for 3 days where I live (west mids).
It’s utter nonesense.
Fake news anyone.
It’s all quite simple, really.
Why would you take advice from a proven narcissistic, serial liar?
Tell this priapic Old Etonian to f*** off and mind his own chuffing business.
Interesting article has just popped up in the Daily Mail, asking if we are “vaccinating too much”
Read full article
Looks like they’re about to sow the seeds for their retreat on the vaccines. People in the comments say the same is happening in Oz.
Before people deny they ever said anything coercive or even favourable about the vaccines, I propose we compile a list of shame. Obviously there are the obvious candidates in politics, pharma and the regulators, but the media personalities? Here are some arseholes I’ll be looking to hold accountable for any vaccine death:
Jeremy Vine
Nick Ferrari
Piers Morgan
Lucy Beresford
India Knight
Dominic Lawson
Shelagh Fogarty
Feel free to add to the list. These media whores were first to mind though.
