Lockdown Could Be Extended by “Between Two Weeks and a Month” Following “Grim” Briefing to Ministers by Whitty and Vallance

by Michael Curzon
8 June 2021 10:25 AM

On Monday, the Prime Minister’s spokesman said (and not for the first time): “[It] still remains that there is nothing in the data currently to suggest step four [of the lockdown roadmap] can’t go ahead at the earliest date.” Unfortunately, reports today are far more pessimistic about a June 21st unlock. This is largely due to a “fairly grim” briefing given to ministers by the Government’s two most senior scientific advisers on Monday. The Times has the story.

Britain’s roadmap for easing lockdown could be delayed by a fortnight with cabinet ministers increasingly pessimistic after a “downbeat” briefing from Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance.

The delay would enable all over-50s to be fully vaccinated and leave sufficient time for jabs to take effect before restrictions are lifted.

Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer for England, and Vallance, the Chief Scientific Adviser, yesterday gave a briefing to ministers on the latest data that was described as “fairly grim”.

They emphasised concerns about the rate of transmission of new strains of coronavirus, such as the Indian variant, and that vaccinations did not provide 100% protection. Millions of Britons remain unvaccinated.

One cabinet source said they expected a delay of “between two weeks and a month” but suggested that the political fallout was likely to be limited as long as the full reopening took place before the start of the school summer holidays late next month. Another said that a delay made more sense than a partial lifting of lockdown restrictions to avoid any “confusion” in messaging…

Johnson is expected to make a formal announcement on Monday, when the Government’s social distancing review will be published…

Another cabinet source described the mood in Whitehall as “downbeat”. “We always said it was June 21st at the earliest. We may need another few weeks to let the effects of vaccination take hold. Doing a partial reopening would create confusion. People have planned on the basis of a full reopening. It’s important that the messaging is consistent.”

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: James Melville is unimpressed by the suggestion of an extension to lockdown. “Hospitalisations are still low. One death [on Monday]. We have a vaccine. After June 21st, we can’t do this anymore. We are done.”

It’s destroyed businesses, livelihoods, mental health, kids welfare, elderly interaction, non Covid treatments.

Hospitalisations are still low. 1 death today. We have a vaccine.

After 21st June, we can’t do this anymore. We are done.#EnoughIsEnough

Stop Press 2: Matt Hancock has told four million people in Greater Manchester and Lancashire to “minimise travel”, get tested and only meet outdoors in a further sign that the unlocking will be delayed. MailOnline has more.

Stop Press 3: Rishi Sunak is willing to accept a delay of up to four weeks to the final stage of England’s reopening roadmap, according to the Guardian.

Sunak, the Chancellor, has in the past been regarded as more keen to lift lockdown constraints than some cabinet colleagues. But a Whitehall source said he was not fixated on the June 21st date and was more concerned that when restrictions are lifted, the move can be permanent. “The Treasury’s main thing is that freedoms are irreversible and businesses have clarity,” the source said.

Worth reading in full.

I’d like to – but we have a 13,000 people festival all ready to go with suppliers, artists, stage companies, the lot – beginning of July that we will have to move again and no doubt thousands of tickets need to be refunded.

I’ve a simple solution – if you’re scared, over 50 or a fuckin’ bed wetter – get your jab and stay. the. fuck. home while the rest of us get on with life and stop ruining our businesses and running our lives (you cunts).

Sorry about that Dobba…I heartily agree. If YOU have a problem, get the xperimental therapy and shut it! I’m here in Italy in a town of 17,000 and you’d think that hospitals were overflowing with lepers just by looking at people’s masking and distancing behaviour.

Apologies – it’s not a catch all statement – maybe should be worded ‘over 50 and scared’ (I’m nearly 50 myself but even if I was 70 I’d still not give a damn about getting it or curtailing the lives of others). Good on you for not being in the above demographic sir. =)

I’m late 60’s and never done any of their crap, distancing, masks, vaccine. None of it,. Had rows in my doctor’s surgery, with the dentist, at the chiropodist yesterday and on a train station with a masked zealot. My answer to queries about my non compliance is always the same: I am not a slave and I am not a moron. Won every time. Doctor’s was the most satisfying.

Neither have we. The only thing we cannot do is travel to see our son in Hong Kong. We don’t go abroad as we need the money to fly to HK every two years. We cannot stand the stress of airports and the ridiculous safety measures. So we have driven to see my brother in Devon twice over the last year. Have entertained close friends regularly and been entertained by them. We have lost a number of friends as they believe we will kill them ???? Our neighbours have carried on with having their full family with eight grandchildren into Sunday lunch each week and we have had our grandchildren to stay with us. All done discreetly so our freedoms have changed and we have become ‘deceitful’ in that we keep ourselves within a tight circle. An apartheid is being created naturally as the sensible gather together and the easily led create their own groups. The Government say the majority of the country have been injected but they know that is playing with statistics. I suspect nearly a third of the country are not injected. Then there are the illegal immigrants who disappear when they arrive, the muslim fraternity who… Read more »

My argument with the doctors got me removed from their practice. My argument was that it was insane to make people who couldn’t wear a mask wait outside in the rain when there was only a couple of people in a waiting room that used to hold 40. Thankfully I’ve found another surgery where they treat me like a human being.

We are in our 70s and have not had the injection either. We have been very healthy over the years. Good diet, good fresh air and exercise and never had a flu jab or indeed any jabs when visiting family in far east. Our doctor knows we believe in vaccines that help with prevention. He knows that flu jabs do not prevent flu but are a placebo to the elderly who worry.

we had a pneumonia booster around 8yrs ago as my research told me that most healthy old people die of pneumonia if they do catch a bad cold during the winter months. Stopping the cold turning to anything worse is a safer bet than a yearly flu jab. I think the British people have lived in a climate of health fear for many years. Planned for by the globalists who want full control of the world.

If all businesses turned round and said up yours, we are living our lives and those who are so frightened of their fellow humans can lock themselves away, then we would defeat these psychopaths.
The plan is to destroy SMEs. The biggest profits have been made by the Globalist Corporations over the last year. Many in Government have huge vested interests in the Corporations. Every single time businesses plough money into reopening the Government pulls the plug. When will these businesses realise they are complicit in their own downfall and stop complying.

Actually, I think that’s all it would take. Mass civil disobedience, if enough of us completely ignored this bullshit and enough small businesses opened up regardless, what could they do? They’d huff and puff and threaten like all bullies but I really do believe they’d fold. The power that they have over us is illusory, we allow them to push us around and tell us what to do. As soon as enough of us say f**k off we’re not going along with this crap anymore, their power is gone!

It is all about the vaccine/bio-identity passport. Who was on Marr the other night but the prince of darkness himself, Tony Bliar. Blair, whose foundation received some $22m from Gates foundation, is embedded in all of this, flattering, smarming and ultimately pulling the strings of the stooges in government. On June 17, 2020 the Independent tweeted a photo of Blair saying, you will need ‘digital id’ to ‘prove disease status’. Yes, that’s right 2020….before the vaccines were up and running. This was also posted elsewhere at the same time: Bill Gates says his foundation is funding the construction of factories for seven coronavirus vaccine candidates. Europe is embracing his agenda where people will not be able to even leave their house without a digital certificate from Gates to prove they were vaccinated. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair is on board with the Gates agenda. Europe is isolating itself from the world for if their own citizens will be restricted in their movement, what hope will there be for a tourist. In Britain, you can leave your house and take a drive, but you must return and are prohibited from staying anywhere else. All of this for a virus they make out to… Read more »

Presumably the 3 and 4 stars in the military have the benefit of full intelligence briefings, and possess some wits. Presumably they can read, and are spending significant time doing their own research.

““Hospitalisations are still low. One death [on Monday].”

Yes, sure – this is confirmation of the idiocy. But remember the basic fact that this has never been the ‘unprecedented’ emergency that was manufactured. It has been a period of higher than average infection, but well within normal parameters, such as was seen in all but a few years in the post-war period.

And who but a congenital idiot would take advice from the constantly wrong Whitty and Vallance? Remember the 4000 deaths-a-day prediction in the autumn that could be bettered by a child with a crayon?

If they are saying two weeks to a month you can bet it’ll be six weeks. That’ll put re-opening in August, giving the perfect 3-4 week gap till sept when ‘cases’ will start to rise. This will give them the opportunity to blame the unvaccinated. Then public pressure will come to make it compulsory. This is the endgame. It is 100% deliberate

Whitty and Vallance are corrupt. There’s absolutely no doubt about that now. This whole lockdown business is just a threat to get what they want, which is mass vaccination. They, and their buddies worldwide, have suppressed effective treatments for covid since day one. Lockdown has helped them do this by effectively telling people to stay home whilst ill and stop them seeing doctors. It’s evil incarnate

I think you are right – we are now well past the point where simple incompetence and stupidity offered a sufficient explanation.

And Johnson can’t claim innocent stupidity, either – I think even he can find his arse using both hands.

As I’ve often said : we perhaps spend too much time on side-issues to the neglect of the key fact that there was never any exceptional event. That was the Big Lie – the foundational one. If the fear had been genuine, there would have been no need to inhibit the exploration of safe medications that have anti-viral properties. Nor would censorship be necessary, nor the constant pumping out of lies and distortions; the obvious dangers would be enough to guide people into the right responses, without fabrication. You would have seen the queues outside the undertakers, rather than imagined invisible variants. The barricading of GP surgeries was pure performance.

…and in September, the annual Flu vax charade starts again that most probably will set off another series of ‘ILI’ – influenza like illnesses – which will be labelled variants of concern to keep the not-so-merry go round spinning on and on…

The main purpose is the cull, reducing the average life expectancy of the remaining plebs to a more manageable 65 at most again.

What happens when 20 or 30 million people say “No Fucking Way” is there a plan to deal with this because fear will dissipate and probably turn to anger when that rather large penny drops

I’m seeing an increasing number of stickers from “The White Rose” movement around town. One read:-

” A polite reminder. It’s the government that has destroyed your businesses, stolen your freedom and ruined your children’s future – not the unvaccinated”.

Very good I thought.

Noone un’vaccinated’ and over 50 agrees with them being used as an excuse for that or for anything related.
Noone.
To the contrary, we are all vigorously opposed to being nannied, patronized, imprisoned and injected by them.
So F.O., open up the country and step aside. Ideally for good.

“lockdown could be extended by 2-4 weeks” NO NO NO NO. Lockdown was NEVER going to end in June or any other month. We already know, because it has been stated openly and the contracts are signed to the tune of £100s of millions, that Track and Trace, mass testing, vaccine madness, covid advertising, covid marshals, internation travel restrictions, OFCOM censorship, SAGE etc etc etc are all going to carry on long after June, probably forever. STOP SAYING LOCKDOWN IS GOING TO END. We have to be mentally prepared for a very long war indeed – probably decades. We must be patient and think about long term strategies to help restore sanity.

How about following ‘Covid Marshalls’ around, and all those who work for Mitie, and letting everyone know who they are and what they get up to? And letting everyone know where they live. If people want to ‘Track and Trace’ you, do the same to them and see how they like it! Report them for every offence from not wearing their face mask, getting too close to other people, littering, speeding in their cars. Hound them relentlessly.

I visited an NHS ‘Covid test centre’. The guys at the entrance chatted with me for a while and started telling me the whole thing was a load of bollocks and that there was no Covid! They pointed to the pile of cones in a heap and said every plastic cone (for separating the car lanes, etc.) costs the NHS 57p/day to rent from a private company that supplies them.
Nice little earner, just that!
Not to mention the needless pollution of people continuously arriving in their cars – probably the very sort that bang on about Climate Change and the need to conserve fossil fuels, whilst the Chinese are slapping up new coal-fired power stations as fast as they can!
The plastic-tat test kits Made in China help to pay for all that extra pollution.

Vaccines don’t provide 100% protection. Millions remain unvaccinated.

Do they not see the idiocy within those two statements? Millions remains to be dosed with a snake oil that doesn’t work (by their own admission).

Given that is their argument they’ve just said ‘Lockdowns will never end’.

We’ve always known that but the sheep have yet to realise it.

“Vaccines don’t provide 100% protection. ” It’s more subtle and more evil than that. Indeed they do not (and this isn’t unique to covid vaccines) provide 100% protection, but covid is such a deadly plague that even partial protection is better than none, but it must be combined with lockdowns, SD, mass testing, track & trace, masks, none of which work on their own but all contribute to mitigating this deadly plague forever. That’s the narrative, that’s the new normal, that is the madness we need to combat.

Of course, the fact that the terrible twins will be out of a job when lockdown ends has nothing to do with wanting to extend it.

“… and that vaccinations did not provide 100% protection. Millions of Britons remain unvaccinated.”

Am I missing something? They never were going to provide 100% protection
Witless and Unbalanced both have much to lose when this debacle finally ends and the public start demanding answers, particularly when the true figures for deaths of covid and deaths of vaccine become apparent, and they will, one day.

Call me cynical but I have a theory this is theatre, so many people have been complaining that Johnson is just a Puppet to the unelected members of SAGE,that in usual Johnson manipulation fashion this is all being played up, such that he can come out once again on national television and declare that he has listened to SAGE and has reflected upon the data, but it is time to end Lockdown for the sake of the people, democracy and the economy. He will ask for the British people to do the right thing, get their “jabs”, be sensible, and for the future term masks and social distancing will remain in place. (In other words no change from where we are now), However; and here will be the threat, should hospitalisations increase he will not hesitate to take firm and decisive action in introducing tiered restrictions. So Johnson gets to look the good guy, the libertarian who is not the puppet of the Scientists. However in reality, nothing changes we will be as we are today, restricted, forced to cover up and keep clear of each other, and of course the threat that if we are naughty. We will be… Read more »

Whatever sometimes is leaked from no10, the reality is that the UK is lockstep with Canada, Australia and New Zealand in going for zero covid . The traffic lights travel system has been deliberately used to frighten off any travel, the messages about doubts about vaccines dealing with variants keeps the fear factor high enough to satisfy the covid religious sect.
If ( and its a big ‘if’), the US and Europe start easier terms for travel, ie both sides drop the ‘special reasons’ for tested rather than vaccinated, the UK will find itself isolated, just like the old commonwealth countries.

The brothers grim
Are really quite dim
If they think we don’t spot
That they only talk rot

Most people are ignoring
The really quite boring
pronouncements of doom
And never ending gloom

Get out and about
And you’ll see without doubt
That the people are finished
With your efforts to diminish

The life we enjoy
which you try to destroy
Get back in your lab
Don’t flog me that jab

2 weeks becomes years
It’s all lies to stoke fears
Their aim is to net
A global reset

But we’re a mighty minority
Still with bodily autonomy
So as a final riposte
We politely say GET LOST

Anyone else noticed the Police filming the protesters on these marches? They know you were there, they know your mobile phone was there…. and a few days or weeks later rat-a-tat-tat on your door at 3am and you’ll vanish.
In Chile they used to drop protesters into the mouths of volcanoes, or fly them a few miles across the Pacific Ocean and kick them out.

I find it absolutely incredible that after 18 months of the covid hokey cokey the public are still falling for this guff. If people allow this extension to happen then frankly there is no hope for Britain – shame, because after the Brexit vote and breaking away from the soviet-esque EU I had hoped we could probably become a beacon of light for freedom everywhere – instead we have transformed into a fear-based totalitarian state run by crazed mussed hair lunatic and a group of behavioural scientists whose cruel methods of control make life under Stalinism look humane by comparison.
