Health Secretary Sajid Javid has confirmed that the Government is going ahead with the fourth and final stage of its ‘roadmap’ out of lockdown on July 19th, saying there will “never be a perfect time” to end restrictions: “If not now, then when?”
It has, however, become quite clear why ministers have decided to “tone down Freedom Day rhetoric“, as large indoor venues in England have been urged to tell customers to show vaccine passports before being granted entry this summer. The day we were told would be the “terminus date” for restrictions in England will instead be a partial easing of restrictions that in all likelihood will return in winter. The Guardian has more.
Speaking to MPs, the Health Secretary confirmed the Government’s plan on July 19th to lift almost all the remaining legal restrictions put in place during the pandemic, including those covering mask-wearing and the size of social gatherings.
But his tone was noticeably more downbeat than a week ago, when he told MPs, “freedom is in our sights once again”.
The vaccine certification plan, in which venues will be “supported and encouraged” by Government to use the NHS app to check up on their customers, was the most concrete sign of a change of tack.
A review of Covid certification had been carried out by the Cabinet Office, under Michael Gove, but ministers had concluded previously that the scheme would not be immediately necessary, and should be held in reserve for the autumn.
Instead, with only a week to go until mass events will be allowed to go ahead, and venues such as nightclubs can reopen, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said the Government would be in touch with businesses to encourage them to implement Covid checks at the door.
He suggested customers could either show that they have been double-vaccinated, or had a positive PCR test within the past six months – or could carry out a lateral flow test and show the email they received after reporting a negative result.
Javid said the Government was acting “in a measured way,” and had only proceeded because its four tests – on vaccines, hospitalisations, NHS capacity and new variants – have been met.
He said July 19th would be, “a major milestone for this country, taking us another step closer to the lives we used to lead”.
He conceded that infection rates are likely to get worse before they get better – potentially hitting 100,000 a day – but said the vaccination programme had “severely weakened” the link between infections, hospitalisations and deaths. …
He said moving now offered, “the best possible chance of a return to normal life”.
The events industry is likely to respond with exasperation at being given such short notice to implement the scheme. The PM’s spokesman stressed it was already “up and running” because it had been tried at a series of pilot events.
Ministers have also underlined the continued importance of mask-wearing in all indoor, crowded spaces in recent days, despite the decision to lift legal restrictions.
And employers are being encouraged to act cautiously when it comes to ordering office staff back to the workplace.

I view this as a declaration of war by our own Government.
It is that. 100%.
”Nuremburg II” should be relocated to the US – any state state with the death penalty
A reaffirmation of the initial declaration (March 2020). Hopefully those who run this site and others who were hoping against hope for some closure to this madness will now realise the Big Lie is as firmly embedded in mainstream narrative as it has ever been.
Yep! Time to fight is now. Just had this sent to me folks, They’re sneakily putting this through tomorrow, as well. Send your objection to your MP, for what it’s worth.

Sent to MP Simon Jupp. Please everyone send to your MP.
It was a declaration of war all the way back in March 2020 and we surrendered without a fight, even as world governments almost uniformly did everything they could to kill as many of us as they possibly could.

I have looked at that and it looks quite impressive. It might be useful for many. However, not only do I refuse to comply with this evil I also refuse to pretend to comply.
I view it more like they pretend it’s about health and I pretend to comply.
I haven’t ever seen the real thing, is it similar?
Might come a point in the not-distant future where we have no choice.
Exactly the same here. I have not used my local pub since 2019. My ‘exemption’ stays in my pocket at all times (only there if the police are called). I won’t scan anything and I won’t leave any details. Fake ones included.
It really is a personal choice, but for me even the pretence of compliance destroys me. I can’t do it so I won’t. I no longer get the bus to work, I walk. And I proudly walk around the supermarket maskless with my chest puffed out. It does me the world of good.
I’m with you. Bollocks to the nonsense that wearing a mask is polite. I’m practically deaf and I’ve suffered enough.
Have you tried it out? I haven’t had the opportunity to give it a go yet.
The Q code reader works on my experiments.
I know people that use it. Seems to work fine.
Some of us don’t have smart phones
That’s the best case scenario – you just give fake personal info.
“I appreciate that you are obliged to ask for my details, but you will appreciate that I am under no obligation to comply. Your records, should you bother to look at them, will probably show that your establishment has received visits from Adolf Hitler on numerous occasions. That should tell you all you need to know about this pointless exercise which I do not intend to pretend to play”.
Stop normalising this shit. If you use this for entry anywhere you’re as bad as those that believe it’s okay to show your papers to go about your daily life.
Hilarious. Politicians hey?
‘We’re definitely not doing it, we’re definitely not doing it, we’re definitely not doing it – yes you’re going to need to show proof of vaccination status’

Amen! Still, it could get interesting on Monday….
It could, but it won’t. Our collective spirit has been broken, there are far too few of us who see this for what it is: a CCP style total surveillance, total control State.
from ICL? surely not!
Bastards, aren’t they?
Complete and utter unmitigated bastards!
The new ‘guidance’ says this:
Companies have always been able to stipulate nonsense requirements for entry (subject to not falling foul of the Equalities Act). It will be interesting to see those who intend to continue the nonsense. They won’t get my custom, that’s for sure.
I don’t like the sound of “encouraged and supported by the government”. Anyway, it is clear now they have no intention of giving us freedom, real freedom.
Indeed “encouraged and supported” in the same way as vaccines, no doubt – i.e. bullying and shaming. It seems highly likely that businesses who decline to be “supported” will be ostracised in the same way that they are increasingly trying to do with those of us who do not wat the vaccine.
Equality?
Equality???
Now we know where we stand, for sure. It’s not going to get any better than this, and it will almost certainly get worse. I don’t think even the most enthusiastic apologists for the government can now be in any doubt that the folly and evil are firmly embedded and that we will be tortured with coronamadness measures for decades. We must all do whatever we can to support a movement to fight against it. “Freedom day” is not a victory, it is another in a long line of defeats.
Shove your vaccine passports up your great communist arse.
Correction :”Right Wing Brexiteer Tory arse” 🙂
For fuck sake, give it a rest with your ’70s Citizen Smith bollocks.
Blue or red, they are all evil cunts. Totalitarians are evil cunts, whatever political colour they purport to belong to.
It’s exactly the same thing.
Left and right are two wings of the same bird.
You’re a funny guy. You remind me of my grandma. I love my grandma dearly but she’s an old commie who’s somehow convinced herself that the Tories and the BBC are ‘right-wing’.
Probably a leftover from the days when the left were the counter culture and not the establishment
At our freedom group yesterday it was agreed that we need to carry on until these bastards are hanging from lamp posts. It won`t end any time soon but we agree that many are now awake rather than “woke”.
I need a freedom group.
me too
How do we join?
May I suggest that…
Good idea. Maybe someone can make some stickers about it – condemning those (including specific companies) supporting the new apartheid – and praising those making a stand?
We need a database that can be inputted by area so we know where do go, and where to boycott
I thought that maybe a “Freedom friendly” logo could be put in windows and doors of establishments that are…well…Freedom friendly!
Hit them harder. For most establishments, social media rating is everything. One star ratings on tripadvisor or google hurt their busines. Highlight their descriminatory policies.
and a world wide list of businesses we can go -us of the ‘unclean ‘- to with addresses.
how about places where no masks allowed too.
I do not consent to experimental “vaccines”, I do not consent to dangerous, invasive, unpleasant tests that are used to keep this scam going – how much will I be banned from?
This is not “measured”, it is dangerous, discriminatory apartheid against miliions of people, with no end date. They have shown what they think of us, now we must show what we think of them!
We are Fascism Hesitant
You – we – will be banned from everywhere. Pubs and stadia at first, then non-essential retail, than supermarkets to Save Our Christmas.
You do want to Save Our Christmas, citizen?
that really would be a declaration of war.
This trend towards ‘soothing others’ who are ‘anxious’ is another manifestation of the perma-toddler attitude that appears prevalent.
Children learn to sooth themselves if not pandered to by overwrought carers. This situation is the same.
People who are ‘scared’ should be told to get better masks or a hazmat suit. That way they will stand out for the fools they are and learn to self-sooth.
We cannot continue to pander to the perennially petrified. Appeasement never works.
The reason why so many are “anxious” is because this idiot government and their behavioural psychologists made them that way.
The phrase “my freedom does not end where your fear begins” is pertinent.
Hope those of you who celebrated Savij Jabid’s bullshit when he first stepped in to replace Madcock have learned a lesson. This is not going to get better for us unless these people are removed.
It’s not ‘these people’ but the people telling ‘these people’ what to do.
Yes, for clarity, I’m referring to the government and all associated with this criminal fraud when I say ‘these people’.
But how de we remove those people?
It will take decades probably. Do everything we can to sustain a grass roots anti-lockdown movement or coalition of anti-lockdown groups, hope some rich people provide funding, never vote for mainstream parties, try to persuade those around you.
I honestly don’t see the current political system as a means to bring about change. Everything is stacked in favour of the incumbent regime and when there’s a hint of opposition gaining traction, they sabotage and cheat.
I also heard a rumour yesterday that there’s a change happening to the way our constituencies are split up, so that smaller districts are getting lumped into larger neighbouring areas. This would obviously favour the government’s lockdown and consolidate their power.
Well Brexit happened against all odds – all the major political parties were against it. But then Brexit had a broad measure of public support, and had done for a very long time. We’re in a tiny minority.
Ultimately what needs to happen is for people to understand they’ve been had. As long as people believe the lies, whatever we do is going to have limited success.
It did, but look who hijacked the campaign… Pfeffel, Gove, and others who are in high places of government now. And besides, Brexit ultimately isn’t going to count for anything when the global financial system collapses and is replaced by a social credit system (the vaxport is the start of this).
If the fake vaccine does turn out to be our worst fears and starts killing countless people when the winter viruses come back, again Brexit means nothing. It’s my belief they knew this at the time and it’s the only reason they let Brexit win.
My instinct is that the only way to survive this is to gather together into a community of non-vaxxed people. Get off the grid and live independent from the state. It’s as serious as that. Once the social credit system kicks off, we won’t be able to buy food or do anything as we once did unless we get jabbed.
I agree that at this stage, Brexit doesn’t count for much and maybe that won’t change in my lifetime.
I don’t think it will get as bad as being prevented from buying food, though I fully admit that many things have happened that I did not expect so I may well be wrong.
No we’re not. They do this all the time. They try to make our base seem small by using mass propaganda to make agreement with our position seem socially undesirable, so you get Preference Falsification. They did it with Trump, they did it with Brexit and they’re doing it again now.
Every once in a while something comes along to demonstrate to people that our church is actually much, much bigger than the propaganda outlets want us to think (Trump winning in 2016, getting the most votes of a sitting President in 2020, Brexit winning, massive anti-lockdown protests). This is Preference Cascade.
i heard 30 % of us refuse to be poisoned.
This is not freedom – this is tyranny.
So can’t these venues just say uhhh NO?
Yep
But will they? “Encouraged and supported”. And if that doesn’t work, what else might be tried?
More psy-ops. I could be wrong I know but I think these lot are chancers, they say a thing then just see how it flies….Most businesses want customers and I don’t think they’ll want to do stuff they don’t need to, and like everyone else I won’t be going anywhere where I have to prove bugger-all, but I was in a pub beer-garden the other day and didn’t see one person use the QR code. There were a few masks going on and off but the pub weren’t bothered either way.
In theory yes, in practice probably not. It will normally be the case that the conditions of their public liability insurance will require adherence to government guidelines on health & safety matters. Without insurance they can’t risk opening.
I guess any discrimination lawsuit will fail as medical history is not a protected characteristic. Though it would nice if some people who operate a business and objected to this started putting conditions of entry in place that highlighted the hypocrisy.
Insisting on proof of TB or polio vaccine
Refusing entry to any men who are circumcised
Requiring proof that you arent HIV Positive
Or the obvious one…..requiring evidence that you havent had the Covid jab
All ridiculous and appalling ideas of course, but it would highlight that you cant pick your discrimination…….
all that stuff and more will be on our social
controlresponsibility digital ID’s eventuallyGood idea, some businesses are refusing to treat vaccinated, probably only small and local Texas type places but I like the hussle.
Everybody have a felt-tip at all times and if you see a sign with any of the above feel free to add your own?
Medical history is not a protected characteristic per se but disability is and if you’ve been affected by a medical condition for 12 months that has affected your daily life then it is classified as a disability.
I’ve been suffering from mask induced distress and anxiety for almost 12 months now (just the idea of wearing one or the sight of others) so that’s handy that’s it’s a now disability from 24/07/21!
Maybe proof required that you’re not currently suffering from an STD might put a cat among the pigeons.
I’ve been arguing this with my sister in law for a while- she thinks it’s ‘only right’ for pubs, etc. to ask for covid passports but is against any other form of discrimination. Incredibly, she can’t see the hypocrisy of this position and I can’t get through to her that choosing which group of people can or can’t be discriminated against is in itself discrimination. Utterly brainwashed and yet if you met her 18 months ago you would have thought her intelligent and rational.
Presumably any venue demanding covid passports is either doing it for insurance purposes or because they are run by wankers – either way I wont be bothering – but I do feel sorry for the young who are far more likely to want to attend than a boring old 50yr old like me.
posted earlier, problem solved….

Bookmarked 🙂
Or they are afraid (probably with justification) that the government will force them out of business one way or another if they don’t comply.
Isn’t that domestic vaccine passports ? Without any Parliamentary debate, no public mandate, no House of Lords scrutiny. Just diktat into a segregated society. You can go to museums around the world where this sort of thing has happened in the countries history and you can see how it ends up. What next ? You can’t take a bus unless you consent to a jab. What horse shit. If I had a rock I would happily smash someone’s skull right now. You can guess who’s skull that would be.
Fuck off Tory government, and Labour too. Up to Tice to absorb all the anti-lockdown parties and form a proper opposition. Let’s have this lot out of office and facing a legal trial for their crimes.
Reform UK put a video on twitter and fb yesterday re face masks etc and the yougov polls. Fb censored it today because it breaks the medical misinformation about c19 rules. Tice only quoted the study on masks from Denmark last year.
We’re in a war (a war that started a while ago) and the enemy are mighty and they are not messing around. Until Big Tech are broken up or forced to behave like simple platforms, properly functioning freedom of speech and information, and therefore democracy, is not possible.
How many 80+ people have a smartphone or any idea how to use it? I cannot see young barmen/women spending time to assist every time an OAP wants to enter and have a drink.
The delays and loss of income surely will rule out this nonsense for anywhere that has a modicum of customer service. I refuse to take my mobile out anyway and have typically found that online stuff just refuses to load when it’s needed e.g. airline tickets.
That’s why, buried deep on the gov.uk website, they signed contracts with some manufacturers to print paper based passports for older people/technophobes to carry. £21m I believe.
Great. Let’s see them and get the fakers working on it.

Someone’s already done it…
How’s that going to work with all the booster shots required? Money for old rope!
Well, this will be fun. I won’t take a Covid vaccine for health, religious and political reasons.
So I will be discriminated against, contravening the Disabilities Act 2010. Throw in harassment from any goon who asks me to prove my status and a hate crime to add to it and the touch paper has been lit.
The Equality Act 2010, not ‘Disabilities Act 2010’, and the Public Sector equality duty on the State to ensure equality.
Thanks.
Oi, Javid, you utter tea towel of a man, how is this ” a step closer to the lives we used to lead”? I don’t remember needing any sort of “proof”, especially of my medical status, before this complete shitshow got started in March 2020. I agree proof of age was and is required to buy alcohol and a few other restricted products, but your age is your age, and does not depend on your compliance with a dodgy medical procedure. And since by the Government’s own admission the monkey spunk jab doesn’t prevent you from getting the Wuflu, or passing it on, then what the chuffing hell is the purpose of the Covipass? Other than to know where people are at any given time? Then there’s GDPR regulation, which govern how data is stored and shared, how does having to prove your medical status to a doorman or bar keeper chime with that? I thought that this had been ruled out as being too burdensome for businesses. That didn’t last long, did it? I hope and pray that businesses refuse to do your dirty work for you. If you want the covipass, you stand up and justify it. Put… Read more »
Spot on
Yesterday we witnessed thousands upon thousands of soccer fans cheering on their team ina stadium in close proximity with one another without restrictions and mask-wearing, we witness government elites (including members of sage), royalty and celebs hob-nobbing at Wimbledon without any restrictions and mask-wearing, we see that this government is willing to waver any restictions for travellers who wish to fly into and out of Britain when it suits them – while the rest of us have to prove we have had the vaccine or paid hundreds of pounds for a negative test. This doesn’t sound like a national emergency to me – this sounds more like a government behaving like a bunch of authoritarian dictators. What I fail to understand if that the vaccines work and protect you from the virus then why still descriminate against those who have chosen not be vaccinated and if (as seems to be the case) that these vaccines are not working with the new variants (which they don’t) – then why the need for vaccine passports? You can be vaccinated and still get the virus variants and pass them on. No sorry , this is a tyrannical government that is out to abuse… Read more »
I think the football and tennis attendees all had to prove their covid status (vaccinated or recent negative test)
Who give a flying fuck it’s all bollox
It is all bollocks, yes, but I was pointing out that the crowds at the football and tennis were very much restricted
Even the Very Important People?
Try a real one: In Germany (less than 10 in 100.000 people “infected”), medical functionaries demand that unvaccinated people must be forced to wear FFP2 mask in public because “they are a danger to society”.
Ah. Our German friends have a bit of form on this sort of thing.
Those officials are only giving orders.
following orders?
The mind bending part being that a filtered FFP2 or FFP3 mask might (but won’t, given the way they will be worn) protect the wearer from droplets or large aerosols, but doesn’t even make a token pretence of protecting anyone else.
Evidence is accumulating on the lack of effectiveness of the vaccines at reducing infection and transmission.
They have to introduce vaccine passports soon otherwise the public will realise that they’re unnecessary.
Once passports are in use it will take rather a lot of effort to get rid of them, even if there is evidence that they’re providing no useful function.
Flying fast and loose with the law never ends well for government. If these cunts think they are going to bully me into having a non vaccine they have another think coming.

If you don’t do what we ask, you will be forced to. But it’s up to you.
Thats the policy for everything right now.
Pretty muich, yeah
Do not comply.
Same nonsense as now, (or recently), then- you can’t go into a pub because you might kill some poor, unfortunate slob with your disgusting, diseased breath, but you can wander round a supermarket for hours on end without anyone bothering you and this is fine. How does no-one see the lunacy here?
Well-known closet libertarian, bold, freedom-loving PM Alexander “Boris” Johnson says covid is not over, “hopes” the lifting of restrictions is irreversible and refuses to rule anything out in terms of action regarding future waves/variants
Die you fat cunt
That made me laugh and I couldn’t have put it better myself
I thought it was definitely irreversible? Isn’t that why it’s taken so long to get to this- so we can be sure? Did anyone actually believe him? Does he even know he’s lying?
This …
I have an immune system and I’m not afraid to use it. Do you feel lucky, punk?
The last thing I want is to have it destroyed by the “vaccine”
I am more relaxed about the “Vaccines” being an evil Bill Gates plan to poison us all and sterilise the young after this. Masks are theatre – and a distraction from what is going on which is a wholesale push for the introduction of a digital identity system. The rush to get everyone “jabbed” is simply a way of removing resistance to the Digital ID that has been re-introduced here without discussion in Parliament etc. The whole £34bn for track and trace has been a non-democratic heist of money for the introduction of digital ID’s by the totalitarian wing of the government.
Certification is coming as a part of this and we are going to have to fight very, very hard to resist it. Rip off the masks – refuse to use the Apps and stare down the authoritarians.
And don’t ever get fucking tested
Bill gates has a little gimp called Blair – and Blair is hard on pushing vaccine passports
vaccine passports are the blank cheques for the vaccine pushers
Medical digital ID. For the whole world.

Britons never, never, never shall be slaves ….
… erm, except when there is a flu-like virus going about with a 99+% survival rate in which case we will willing surrender our freedoms at the drop of a hat, remain in our homes, wear masks and inject ourselves with trial vaccinations in return for a little security..
There must be some elderly German gents somewhere kicking themselves for not having thought of just threatening to sneeze on us and breathe in our general direction- we’d have flown the white flag in no time for a bit of security…some people tell me it was different back then , but was it?
