End of Covid! All restrictions in England to be scrapped within DAYS
- Thread starter The Oracle
- Start date
Okay, let me translate for you. BJ is political toast. He hasn't delivered on the ridiculous promises of Brexit - because no one could. They were ludicrous. He has been caught defying COVID regulations and there is an inquiry afoot. And he won't chuck out the Good Friday Agreement because the IRA will re start the Troubles and Biden will fuck him over.

The news comes as Boris Johnson continues to fight for his political life as fury rages over lockdown parties in Downing Street and a member of his own cabinet demands an end to the drinking culture in his Government.

The end of restrictions means mandatory mask wearing at schools, on public transport and at indoor events, controversial covid passports, and demands that people work from home will finish on January 26.

All that will remain will be a requirement to isolate for five days with a positive covid test and the need to take lateral flow tests for international travel.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid was last night said to be “sure” that the restrictions will not be needed after the January deadline.
The Sunday Express learnt that the Prime Minister had already been handed an ultimatum before Christmas by senior Conservative backbenchers that he would face a leadership vote of confidence if he tried to bring in more restrictions.
The threat came after 101 Conservative MPs opposed the current restrictions in a Commons rebellion on December 14.
Conservative MPs have made it clear to Mr Johnson that restrictions needed to end as soon as possible.
In recent days amid the revelations about parties, some have stressed that Mr Johnson’s resistance to scientists pushing for greater restrictions and “getting the policy right” was what prevented them from submitting a letter to 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady calling for a vote of confidence in his leadership.
But even close allies of the Prime Minister last night warned Mr Johnson that there needed to be a change of culture.

Writing for the Sunday Express, Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg urged people to stand by the Prime Minister for delivering on Brexit and getting the country through the pandemic.
But he added: “It is clear that there is a drinking culture in Downing Street that would be questionable in ordinary time let alone during a period of restriction.”
Meanwhile, former Conservative minister Tobias Ellwood said the Prime Minister must “lead or step aside”, saying: “We need leadership.”
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: “We’ve got a Prime Minister who is absent - he is literally in hiding at the moment and unable to lead, so that’s why I’ve concluded that he has got to go.
“And of course there is a party vantage in him going, but actually it is now in the national interest that he goes, so it is very important now that the Tory party does what it needs to do and gets rid of him.”
Health Secretary Sajid Javid is expected to formally announce in the coming days that he will not renew the restrictions when their sunset clause ends on January 26.
A source said he “feels confident about the decision” because of the falling number of cases and evidence that Omicron is not as dangerous as other variants.
The source added: “Sajid [Javid] is sure now that the restrictions will not go beyond the sunset clause date.”
The Health Secretary had already reduced isolation times for positive tests down to five days from 10

Great news........Let's hope this comes to fruition.
But none of the above satisfy the Tory Far Right wing and they are using this to kill him politically, while the other parties despise Bobo so much that they simply snigger as he goes down.
So Bobo is hoping that Omicron has peaked and cancelling the restrictions won't blow shit wide open and swamp the ICU's. It's pretty much Bobo's only play to keep the Tory right wing loyal for another month or so.
Bobo is slated to be replaced by a Far Right leader and to be killed off. Then things will get really wild.
Sigh. Great spin from "Citizen Free Press", aka "Only WE Know The Truth Pass It On Press"And the dominoes keep falling. This time in Israel.
Something the simple-minded don't understand is that scientific beliefs change as information accumulates. And you make best-guesses designed to minimize pain and suffering based on the information you have at hand.
So it's labeled as "admitting a blunder!!!!" when it's merely acting cautiously because something could be much worse than hoped.
Israel vaccinated 97% of its people, and its death rate is very low. In my book that's a success story. Wasn't that the goal, to minimize deaths?
Yesterday nearly as many people died in the US as in the World Trade Center attack, yet again. As many will die today, and again tomorrow. The US went into a frenzy when 9/11 happened and spent trillions of dollars and twenty years of warfare because 3,000 people died, but they're getting that kind of bloodshed every single day now, and the Vocal Right wants to keep that happening. AND it's mostly unvaccinated people dying, and those are mostly big Trump supporters - the very members of the Vocal Right, dying needlessly. Still, the entire push from that side of the aisle is to let it continue in the name of freedom and patriotism or some sort of nonsense.
Which only goes to enforce the notion that the US is not a rational country, indeed very much a problem child among the countries of the world. Is it any wonder it's not trusted or respected?
I'm just curious, are you voting for Dofo who has brought in lockdowns and masking and mandates?
No, he just post the same useless uneducated comments, unlike JC and a few, i may not agree with them, and as ignorant as they are, at least they can give somewhat of a good debate.
I have to admit that I'd give DoFo another term again. I wouldn't follow Del Duca through an open door and think the NDP need to rethink every single part of themselves.
I'm at the point where I really wish a political figure would call all of us Ontarians (in general) a bunch of losers. The populace needs to hear that. We're all selfish and we all need to hear that we're not important in the grand scheme of things. Maybe I have a S&M side to me?

Exactly... DoFo's contemporaries are Kenny and Legault. Our 800lbs gorilla is trying whilst handcuffed between a rock and a hard place (like any Premier would be; regardless of party).
He promised PPE and from what I gather Ontario manufacturing can now produce all of our required PPE. I guess that is something...
SARS had a 10% fatality rate with no lockdowns or vaccines and less than 400 people died. So if there is something even worse than SARS it probably won't be as transmissible and very few would catch it.
Notice how the media reports covid deaths as covid related or complications from covid but not actually covid. They don't even mention age or other health issues these people had.
The world's death rate from 2019 t0 2021 rose by 1.75 million. As of right now covid's death toll is over 5.5 million. So if it's even higher then would'nt the world's death rate be much much higher too.Vastly understated, it seems.
The pandemic’s true death toll: millions more than official counts
Countries have reported some five million COVID-19 deaths in two years, but global excess deaths are estimated at double or even quadruple that figure.www.nature.com

I don't vote at all,
You fuckin love lockdown , covid restrictions, you vote for the bum Trudeau
Deaths per year
Historic estimates from 1950 to 2021, and projected to 2100 based on the UN medium-fertility scenario.

You have a strange way of looking at the world. The fact that covid "wasn't fatal enough" wasn't a problem. It was because of that simple fact that people realized the threat it posed was overblown. If it was 50% lethal, nearly everyone would agree that it posed a significant threat. Mind you, in that type of Black Plague situation you would be among the dead regardless of what preventative steps you took unless you moved to the country with no other people around.
SARS was well-known to be almost non-transmissible. That's why it's impact was limited and it died out quickly.
You know, all these diseases are scientifically different.
I doubt you’ve understood the data you say you’ve been reading and you don’t seem to have a good grasp of risk evaluation. Canada will do the same in approx 4-6 weeks.
Data suggests, with vaccinations, we will be fine. Is that good enough for you?

Good attempt at an insult bro.
Still doesn't change the fact that Trudeau has absolutely zero say on whether Provinces implement lockdowns.
