The Government’s ‘Call for Evidence’ to its Covid-Status Certification Review is open for another five days, until March 29th. Anyone can respond as an individual, and although a cynic might suspect that the review is a piece of theatre designed to confer legitimacy on a foregone conclusion, a healthy quantity of negative responses from the public would be no bad thing.
The page states:
The Government is reviewing whether Covid-status certification could play a role in reopening our economy, reducing restrictions on social contact and improving safety.
Covid-status certification refers to the use of testing or vaccination data to confirm in different settings that individuals have a lower risk of getting sick with or transmitting COVID-19 to others. Such certification would be available both to vaccinated people and to unvaccinated people who have been tested.
The Government will assess to what extent certification would be effective in reducing risk, and its potential uses in enabling access to settings or relaxing Covid-secure mitigations.
The government is looking to consider the ethical, equalities, privacy, legal and operational aspects of a potential certification scheme, and what limits, if any, should be placed on organisations using certification.
We are issuing this call for evidence to inform this review into Covid-status certification, to ensure that the recommendations reflect a broad range of interests and concerns. We welcome views from all respondents.
This idea has been gaining a head of steam recently despite ministers initially making noises to the contrary. It is an idea that ought to be anathema to any Western liberal democracy, and which, on the Government’s own terms, makes no sense once at-risk groups have been offered vaccinations, accounting for a vast proportion of potential hospitalisations and deaths.
We would encourage all Lockdown Sceptics readers to make their views known. The ‘Call for Evidence’ can be found here.

Just like I submitted my views on the experimental gene therapy vaccines? Now they’re giving them to kids. The consultations are a sham. They’ve already had this in China and they simply can’t wait to roll it out over here.
There’s two reasons for these consultations:
Everything will be conveniently cleaned up and packaged in a nice box with bow on top, ready for the vaccine passports.
Conspiracy theorists must be in a continuous state of confusion at the moment.
”I didn’t become a conspiracy theorist to keep being proved right”
I would describe it as vindication, but there’s still a very long way to go before even those on this site who feel ‘red-pilled’ can grasp the extent of the lies we’ve been fed – long before March 2020.
I have attempted to submit my response 3 times, but each time have received a delivery failure notification. Is this common?
I sent mine as an email and attached PDF, and got the usual automatic acknowledgement, couched in the customary condescending way.
Thanks for heads up FL, mine was, like yours [pdf attached] and usual inane condescending waffle response / receipt from brainless 7 Bde
Would not willingly download any government app — What they are doing is Evil as far as I am concerned -ie I suspect everyone who reads lockdown sceptics is well aware of the disgraceful and deceptive and manipulating things this government has done to Prove that Covid is a diabolical killer — I am ashamed to the party I voted for
Haven’t got a phone. Binned it. Simple solution. Life is hugely improved.
Who would ever want to go into a pub that demanded a ‘vaccine passport’? Ridiculous. Any landlord that tries this would be mad. They’ve been closed for most of the past year, I would have thought they’d be begging for customers, not finding more excuses to refuse entry. It really has reached a point where I spend a lot of time laughing at all this insanity, which is great 🙂
Spot on! Last year I switched to carrying a crappy old nokia to combat this idiocy at the pubs and restaurants asking for my details. Then they insist on the paper forms, wherein it is simply a case of filling them with gobbledegook.
Same here. The Nokia 105 suits me down to the ground. I never give anyone the number on these things anyway, and if they don’t like it, they know what they can do.
Well done. I still use an old Nokia 515, even installed a replacement battery in it last year. It’s only used for the odd emergency call when out, or for SMS display of some log on codes (such as for tax returns, activating new secure keys for the bank etc). It’s not normally active at all.
Incidentally (slightly off topic), one of the more modern risks is walking around while absorbed in a ‘smartphone’ and unaware of the real world. I’ve come across that while driving near them and intending to cross the road; not nice.
I’ve submitted my response but forgot to ask when the government will be repealing all anti-discrimination laws if this goes ahead.
There is a useful template response on the Big Brother Watch website:
https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/campaigns/stopvaccinepassports/
Do personalise your responses though. When template responses go to any kind of call for evidence most if not all get discounted. Templates are great for ideas but not for sending.
Sent my response, but these consulations are only theatre at best. Sent copy to my Labour MP too, although he is fully onboard with the propaganda.
Same here, but not to my MP, who is a government apparatchik, with whom I’ve corresponded before; I know his point of view.
Anyone with any morals and a brain, do not download any Apps and boycott any business and service that requires one. Regardless of whether you have had a vaccine and your views on these. This was once a free demoocracy and now clearly it isn’t. All pushed in under the guise of bad flu rebranded with a new name. If someone wants a vaccine that is their choice and if someone doesn’t then that is their choice and noone should be coerced. Noone has ever had to provide proof of a flu jab or TB jab etc- these kill more Worldwide every year. Given that in reality these vaccines only demonstrated in trials to reduce “mild” symptoms in some people and are already probably useless and ineffective due to new variants, there is no logic or point to have to them and to have to show anything. I can’t believe how dumb people are out there not picking up on this and that includes employers, many in the health service and Politicians etc. Well either dumb or they know and are simply immoral with no integrity.
The template on bigbrotherwatch needs careful reading. It needs to be personal. As it stands it’s general and not what everyone would want to say, so don’t just copy and paste as is.
Old Nokia 3510i not internet connected. Had it 17yrs and was given it second hand. No ‘smart’ stuff for me.
Agree with other comments that gov consults are a sham and also provide ammo, however I did respond to this one, only to lay out in black and white the legal position and issue a clear warning so that government is put on notice for when we are ready to proceed for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. My submission, lays out the legal basis for which their criminal certification scheme is a form of APARTHEID: https://cacuk.world/covid-status-certification-is-uk-apartheid/ Extract below… Segregation, apartheid and crimes against humanity If a COVID-status certification scheme is implemented in the UK, there will be a significant section of the population who will assert their legal rights and refuse to be tested and/or vaccinated. They will do this for valid reasons, none of which are selfish or reckless. Some of these reasons have been noted above. Some people may also, or alternatively, assert their legal right to refuse to wear a face covering, on grounds of reasonable excuse. If these people are then refused access or services, or made to wear lanyards or badges, or forced to seek and obtain some official ‘exemption’ (which may or may not be granted), or placed under any other form of inconvenience, whether by the state, or by… Read more »
