NOT Starmer! He’s come off the fence …
We’re no longer in a world of post-covid madness, we’re now in a world of plain, unadulterated Covid Madness. Politicians use the scare covid numbers to peacock around as ‘Our MSM’, aiding and abetting anything and anyone ‘not BJ’, support them in that endeavour. Government ‘scientists’ are now briefing against the PM. As for ‘Our NHS’ – well, anything goes just as long as the unholy alliance of Covidians can get the Lockdown they desire, actual numbers be d*mned.
Over the past weeks we’ve all become tired of the blockheadedness of the Westminster Cabal, of the unholy alliance of politicians, directors of quangos and ‘Our NHS’ and the MSM ‘health editors’. I’d like to know why they’re always ‘global’. None of the above even notice the idiocies they produce, never showing a hint of criticism. Oh, some papers are giving room now and then, behind their paywalls, to critical clinicians – but as far as the Westminster Covid Cabal is concerned, they might as well have saved their breath.
Yesterday was ‘that’ vote on ‘that’ curfew – and yes, 42 ‘brave’ Tories rebelled. I won’t even go there because they waved through ‘that’ three-tier scheme. Instead, Starmer was ‘celebrated’ for coming off the fence in favour of a ‘circuit breaker’, a national Lockdown during Half Term – in ten days. How this is supposed to ‘stop the virus ripping through’ right now is his secret. Since Labour abstained from voting for that three-tier system yesterday, it’s obvious that Starmer was only producing a choice political theatre:
“Sir Keir’s intervention was seen as an indication that he believed the Prime Minister would ultimately be left with no choice but to impose a circuit breaker, and wanted to make it appear that he was following Labour’s lead. He spoke moments before Mr Johnson faced his own MPs in a meeting of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservative MPs, and tried to divide the Tories by saying the Prime Minister could count on Labour votes for such a plan, implying that he may need to if his own party members rebelled against it.” (paywalled link)
Interestingly, Starmer’s demand for a ‘circuit breaker’ was based on models by SAGE who have been trying to push this latest lockdown scheme onto BJ for some time, notwithstanding the WHO ‘advice’ that lockdowns don’t work, that they damage the economy, and should only be used as a very last resort: ‘SAGE models rule ok!’. In a blatant example of disloyalty to the PM, SAGE ‘went public’ right after BJ had spoken to the Nation on Monday evening:
“Within minutes of finishing his address to the nation, minutes from Sage meetings were published, warning that a failure to go further could result in “a very large epidemic with catastrophic consequences”. A two-week national circuit break lockdown to halt the virus had been first proposed on September 17 by one of Sage’s subcommittees. The scientists and health experts appeared to be preparing the ground for tougher restrictions at a meeting of the Cabinet Office’s ‘Covid-19 Operation’ committee some two days later.” (paywalled link)
SAGE ‘spoke’ after Johnson on Monday evening, providing the ‘scientific material’ for Starmer’s proposal. There’s more SAGE advice going to come today, to support this latest Lockdown:
“A half-term “circuit breaker” lockdown would save thousands of lives by the end of the year, government scientific advisers have calculated as pressure grows for a two-week shutdown. […] A paper by Sage, obtained by The Times and due to be published today, challenges his [BJ’s] position. It shows that a two-week full lockdown, with stay-at-home orders and school closures, from October 24 could reduce deaths for the rest of the year from about 19,900 to 12,100. Hospital admissions could be reduced from 132,400 to 66,500.” (link, paywalled)
That ‘pressure’ only grows in ‘Our Covid MSM’. Interestingly, SAGE previously seems to have demanded much more before BJ plumped for that three-tier system, following warnings by Sunak and others who want to keep the economy going as much as possible:
“Cabinet ministers had been discussing for three weeks the guidance from the Sage group of scientific advisers which stated that what was needed was a national lockdown of several weeks to “put the epidemic back” by at least 28 days.” (paywalled link)
Don’t ask what would happen after those ’28 days! This Covid warfare demonstrates nicely that SAGE, the Covidians and Labour are so far removed from real life that they don’t even understand that without the private sector working there’ll be no money coming in to pay them. So add economic voodoo thinking to their general scientific illiteracy and innumeracy.
The poster child for this sort of plain Covidiocy surely is Matt Hancock, whose utterances are happily spread by those ‘global science and health’ editors in ‘Our MSM’. You really couldn’t make this up! First see this:
“Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, had said the concept of herd immunity from the virus was “emphatically false” as there could be no mass immunity “even if everyone caught it”.” (paywalled link)
‘No herd immunity’ even after everybody has caught the virus? Really? Does he think we’ll all be dead by then? Next see this, under The Times’ headline “Thousands will die without new coronavirus curbs, Matt Hancock tells rebel MPs’’. Scaring the nation to death just so that ‘Tory Rebels’ can be shown to’ve been put in their place – that’s fine:
“Matt Hancock has faced down lockdown sceptics in his own party, warning that thousands more people will die and “harder economic measures” will be needed without tough new coronavirus restrictions. The health secretary warned of loss of life “too great to contemplate” as he attacked those in his own party who oppose curbs on hospitality.” (link, paywalled)
What ‘harder economic measures’ is he on about? Is he now also taking over Sunak’s department? I leave it to you to ponder if Hancock is preparing us for more of the same, all based on those oh-so impeccable SAGE models, on those equally impeccable ‘case numbers’ and this latest outcry from Liverpool:
“Intensive care units at Liverpool’s main hospitals are at 95 per cent capacity as a rebellion against the lockdown by local businesses grows. Sources have told The Times that the number of Covid-19 patients across all beds is expected to surpass its April peak in the next seven to ten days. About half of the intensive care beds across the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have been taken by patients with the virus, according to the Financial Times.” (link, paywalled)
Never mind those numbers from ‘sources’ and the FT: “we” must lock down everything to ‘save Liverpool’s hospitals’, yes? The aim is clearly to present ‘material’ in support of the SAGE-Starmer demand for that ‘circuit breaker’. Now add to this dire repeat image of ‘Our NHS in Crisis’ another piece of grim news:
“A Covid-19 vaccine is likely to be only 50 per cent effective, the chairman of the UK Vaccine Taskforce has said. Kate Bingham said any vaccine capable of immunising against the virus would probably be as effective as the flu vaccine. “The vaccines we have for flu are about 50 per cent effective,” she said. “We shouldn’t assume it’s going to be better than a flu vaccine, because that’s an equivalent – it’s a mutating … respiratory virus that gets in through the nose and eyes and respiratory tract.” (paywalled link)
Isn’t that what non-government scientists have been telling us for some time now? Is that another instance of ‘jam definitely next year’ which could even be force-fed to us? Meanwhile keep doing what you’re told to do, until next summer:
“The head of the Oxford University coronavirus vaccine team said face masks and social distancing may be needed until July, even if the global trial proved successful. “Even if we had enough vaccine for everyone, it’s unlikely that … the physical distancing rules can be just dropped,[…].” (paywalled link)
So, vaccine or no vaccine, everything will stay the same, in perpetuity? Don’t forget that there’s no such thing as ‘herd immunity, according to that top scientist Hancock!
I leave you with news that owners of gyms in and around Merseyside aren’t going to take this latest ‘measure’ lying down:
“The Empowered Fit gym on the Wirral said that it was planning to defy the new laws and stay open. “We are not staying open for financial gain but more for our members’ mental and physical wellbeing,” […] Chris Ellerby-Hemmings, one of the owners, told The Times that he was aware of about 40 gyms across Merseyside that would be doing the same. “Obviously there might be some enforcement that happens, maybe the council will come, and the police will come,” he said. “We would have a discussion and explain that we’re doing this to make a stand — and ask the council leaders to give us evidence to prove why gyms should be closed.” The Pure Gym chain, which has seven gyms in the area, has expressed disappointment and warned that it may take legal action over the closures.” (link, paywalled)
I’ve heard from my ‘sources’ that users of private gyms across the country are ready to support gyms who might be fined by chipping in with donations. They’re all observing the strictest hygiene rules demanded by government. It seems local defiance, supported by a loose national network, may be one way of overcoming covidiocy.
In a blistering comment piece in the DT yesterday evening – before ‘that’ vote – under the title “Yes, Boris, this is the tipping point – for our trust in you”, Allison Pearson, not mincing her words, lets rip in no uncertain terms and concludes:
“But if Boris doesn’t trust the British people with the truth – according to the most recent peer-reviewed paper on Covid-19, 99.8 per cent of all people who get the virus survive, including 99.96 per cent of those under 70 – then why on earth should we trust him? […] They call this a tipping point and they well could be right, but not in the way they think. Their pointless, destructive local lockdowns will end in tiers.” (paywalled link)
It surely will, not least because the economy is at a tipping point – something about which Starmer and SAGE couldn’t care less. Let’s be clear: they’re not about ‘saving lives’ but about ‘looking good’ in the Covid MSM while rejecting any blame for the real-life consequences which the rest of us have to deal with – those of us living outside the Westminster Covid Cabal.
Let’s hope for more examples of informal defiance like the national support for the Merseyside gym owners and
KBO!

Apparently, the Government has removed the right to question the reason for deaths.
The removal of Form 5 cremation certificate for deaths relating to Covid-19 under the Coronavirus Act means that ALL deaths
can be put down as Covid-19.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/313310
Petition
Repeal the Coronavirus Act 2020
The Coronavirus Act grants potentially dangerous powers including to detain some persons indefinitely, to take biological samples, and to give directions about dead bodies. Powers last up to 2 years with 6 monthly reviews, and lockdown powers could prevent protests against measures.
The Act also lowers protections under the Mental Health Act. Only one medical ‘officer’ is required to sign off a compulsory treatment order. There are changes to the court system and registration of deaths, and inquests have been suspended in some circumstances. There is no requirement for any medical certification for cremations. It also provides for the indemnity of health service activity for those providing care to a person who has, or is suspected of having, coronavirus disease.

Thinking about hospital admissions rising – aren’t people tested for covid on admission (even for a broken finger) and if they’re positive, don’t they get counted as a ”covid admission”? I’m sure that inflates the figures nicely.
But who voted in the aforesaid turkeys………
The Liblabtory stranglehold should have been broken up years ago but voters were simply not concerned enough to do so
Some of us tried to do this as members of small parties but were rewarded for our pains by being vilified and abused by the public and let down by our party leaders
PS this was in reply to Frederica but got detached from her comment
PS I think the Tories should have been destroyed after the ERM fiasco about 30 years ago,, where they played fast and loose with the interest rate and economy , sacrificing the British people on the altar of the EU. No matter that countless folks lost their homes and businesses, as long as the EU project was advanced.
Now theyre sacrificing the economy, our lives even, to please the globalists.
Leopards dont change their spots. I’m surprised voters have such a short memory.
I agree Mary. I joined UKIP and worked my socks off out on the streets and at street stalls. I was devastated at the mess it got into with all the infighting! I would have voted for the Brexit party but Nigel stood downand let Boris in. Over the years I have repeatedly written to my MP over any matter of moment where I felt they weren’t on the wavelength of their constituents!
All the LibLabCon have done is take advantage of people’s apathy. They are like a runaway horse with the bit between its teeth now! They don’t fear us and they don’t care what we think. Until that can be made to change, we are doomed!

These doctors have put their heads up over the parapet. We should be grateful towards them.
Surely Hancock needs to be certified insane? – We all know herd immunity exists or epidemics would never end – Surely he now knows this epidemic is so mild most don’t even know they are infected unless tested – Suicides in the under 60’s exceed Covid deaths – Average age of death from Covid is 82 and average age of death without Covid is 81- Total deaths from all causes are average – The real excess deaths will be from economic and social depression and postponed treatments of everything other than Covid – With the horrific injuries to vaccine test subjects who is going to take the vaccine voluntarily anyway?
lindsay. Don’t know about certifying him insane – you’re probably right. I’ve noticed each time his words are reported they make less and less sense.
He never answers any question put to him by an MP.
Thank goodness resistance to the covid madness does seem to be increasing.
Matthew Hancock is deservedly slated by Politico (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBGaNOkC0hY)
What an ignorant and arrogant little oik he is.
Allison Pearson in that same article:
“According to the Government, the city where I live is at ‘Medium’ risk from Covid-19. That’s odd. A doctor who works at the big teaching hospital, a centre of excellence for the whole of East Anglia, assures me there are seven patients on the Covid ward, no Covid patients in ICU, and 60 awaiting test results. That sounds like a pretty low risk to me. Far more chance that I’ll die in a road accident or clonk my head on the door of the Aga as I bend down to take the banana bread out of the baking drawer (as I did on Sunday) than perish from corona.”
If only we had a Prime Minister instead of a wet, frit, jellyfish!!! He could do us all a favour if he sacked the useless, clueless, school playground bully that currently holds the post of Health Secretary for a start. Then he could follow that up with marching orders for Robert Jenrick and Gavin Williamson. But he won’t do it because a weak man cannot afford to promote people who are able because they would show him up!
The whole political system is now a den of absolute stinking corruption. But we won’t ever get change because turkeys have never been known to vote for Christmas. The current batch of turkeys is far too busy feathering their nests at the expense of the few remaining tax payers that haven’t yet lost their jobs and businesses to the COVID-madness that is presently running amok in what remains of Britain. RIP the United Kingdom!
An interesting article from Breitbart; apparently the WEF feel that the pandemic (sic) has presented the ideal opportunity for the Great Reset. I don’t like the sound of this.
“World Economic Forum Outlines Its ‘Great Reset’ to End Traditional Capitalism”
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/10/14/world-economic-forum-outlines-its-great-reset-to-end-traditional-capitalism/
Hancock really needs deselecting at constituency level so he is never able to stand as an MP again, unless of course he gets selected by another constituency association. Its blindingly obvious that Hancock needs to go……
There may be a ‘big’ job lined up for him in some NGO or other after this. He knows far too much about the Governments botched management of Covid to simply be thrown under a bus by Johnson. Toys and prams spring to mind.
I Remember Lord Carrington as Foreign Secretary taking the knife for the Falklands Isles debacle. Lo and behold they gave him the top job at NATO defending Europe !!!
Can anybody tell me if, or when, or how one gets immunity from Covid. Surely to goodness someone actually knows by now. I’m reading all sorts of nonsense from BBC or Russia Today, Newspapers appear ignorant.
Right ! Now we know a bit.Immunity is complex apparently. You’re immune we know for at least 3 months ( almost certainly longer but they havent got enough evidence so far. However we do know that many are immune for 7 monthe and more . Informed opinion believes that it should, we hope, be lifelong. But dare not say it or be quoted because of Newspapers, fake news, and Media Sensationalism . and the American patent industry.
If we can get immunity for a year after recovery, Many ,many alternative scenarios, and options open up.
We just have to hope the WHO doesn’t destroy everything.
This is an interesting clip from Germany, a group of Doctors, Scientists and health workers against the New Normal from all over the world. It is 17 minutes long but worth watching https://youtu.be/axhQTbwxOis . Also, apparently only 8 beds were allocated as Covid Beds in Blackpool General Hospital but according to the MSM the hospital is bursting with Covid patients. This was from a nurse working there.
Also featured within that You Tube video is the only politician in Britain now worth listening to, namely David Kurten leader of the newly created Heritage Party. He seems to be the only politician now talking sense on Covid 19, the Immigration failures of the present government, free speech, and our relationship with the Europe, a fully independent country outside the European Union. He has even eclipsed Nigel Farage now…..
We’ve all read in history books about societies going insane. Cambodia for example. Now we are living in one. Who expected that?
SAGE says that a circuit breaker “could” do this or that. Doesn’t sound very scientific to me as it leaves open the possibility, or even probability that other strategies “could” achieve the same or better outcomes.
Now that Johnson has apparently gone against them, and this appears to have stung them, maybe he should now consider a shake up of SAGE to include alternative viewpoints such as that of Henegan. This would only strengthen his position if he intends to diverge from the present SAGE monologue.
IMO Hancocks position as Health Secretary is now totally untenable with his absurd herd immunity claim. Even if said off the cuff it demonstrates a total lack of commonsense never mind lack of health matters awareness.
I do wonder if these so- called Sage guys realise how stupid they look and that a majority of our country dont really care what they say- they really are iseless morons
As I understand it ( and it is not confirmed ) TheGovernment apparatus issued a warning to the media, warning against alternative stategies
Hancock isn’t exactly scientifically qualified, is he? It comes to something when we have a Health Secretary who’s never had a job in the real world, or anything to do with health, and with only a PPE degree.
The phrase ”delusions of adequacy” springs to mind.
“Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, had said the concept of herd immunity from the virus was “emphatically false” as there could be no mass immunity “even if everyone caught it”.”
Sorry, Mr. Pants on Fire. Now that our children are back at school we’re all catching a ‘cold’ and getting immune and when you finally get that vaccine you can stick it where the sun don’t shine!
Next thing you know he’ll be telling us we should be running our economy on wind and blowing up power stations or we’re all gonna die in ten years from global warming, err climate change!
I’ve just heard the latest Covid abomination from RT News: a woman giving birth was forced to wear a mask throughout the whole process.
When they force masks in circumstances like that, and on very young kids, I know its all over for Western civilisation. Why wont people wake up? Will they start muzzling newborns the minute they see the light of day?
