The main UK news this week is Boris’s ‘plan’ for Christmas and the new local/regional restrictions (tiers) to follow the end of the national lockdown on December 2. Boris has been at it again, appearing on TV to confuse the nation about how to prepare for Christmas – answer: “you don’t need to as it isn’t going to happen”. And anyway, all the MSM propaganda and euphoria about this ‘highly effective’ vaccine has clouded his mixed messaging to such an extent that the Brits don’t know whether to laugh or cry!
“Pubs and restaurants will be limited to takeaway and delivery services in the highest-risk, tier 3 areas, a tightening of previous rules that allowed dining. Household mixing will be banned indoors in the second tier. The new measures will come into place after 2 December, when England’s lockdown ends. The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, on Monday afternoon confirmed that the new restrictions would be tougher than before the lockdown.
UKHospitality, a lobby group, said restrictions on household mixing were the biggest threat to the industry’s revenues. “This is effectively a lockdown for businesses in tier 3 and further purgatory for those facing even tighter restrictions in tier 2,” it said in a statement. “Rather than saving Christmas, these damaging measures will ruin it for hospitality businesses and their customers.”
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/nov/23/englands-covid-tier-system-will-ruin-christmas ‘New tiers’ will be quite different from the ‘Old tiers’. In some ways they will be more relaxed, with non-necessary retail and gyms allowed to open in all levels. And in tiers 1 and 2, some outdoor and indoor spectators will be allowed to attend sporting events, while in tier 2 no one would be allowed into a pub unless they also ordered a substantial meal. Go figure.
Tier 3 will be more or less like the current national lockdown apart from the bits that wouldn’t. It all felt pretty much like something that had been cobbled together on the back of a fag packet to fit in with what the libertarian wing of the Tory party might accept, rather than something that was based on hard scientific evidence which is in doubt anyway.
And as a special treat – though he couldn’t yet go into exact details – there would be some kind of amnesty over Christmas so families could meet up. Though this had to kept hush-hush for now, because if the coronavirus got wind of any relaxations in measures it could seek to take advantage by working overtime and leaving many elderly relatives dead in January and February. There again, it’s been a long old year for Covid-19 as well, so maybe the virus could do with a four-day break too.
The ramifications of all these governmental interventions are absolutely destroying the UK economy. Boris has announced that the tiered restrictions will last at least until the spring so we can forget going to the pub any time soon – oh well – I guess I will save money and buy some baubles for a Christmas that won’t happen. And the weather is isht too so I guess we have little to be happy about during this ‘jolly’ season in Britain today. But it’s not so funny for a vast swathe of people who are trying to earn a crust.
“The regular update from the Office for National Statistics showed that one in seven firms polled during the last two weeks of October said they had low confidence or no confidence that they would survive the next few months. The hospitality industry was the least confident, with one in three firms fearful of collapse.” https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/nov/19/one-in-seven-uk-businesses-in-fear-of-collapse
It seems that the UK economy hasn’t even started melting down yet according to the chancellor – let the wrecking continue: “Rishi Sunak has warned Britain that its Covid-19 economic emergency has only just begun after responding to news of the deepest slump in more than 300 years by pledging a fresh £55bn to tackle the pandemic.
On the day that the daily death toll from the virus reached a new second-wave peak of 696, the chancellor said that despite borrowing a peacetime record of £394bn this year, he would need to carry on spending in order to protect lives and livelihoods”.
Yeah, Yeah – we know – so how was all this all financed? By printing up all the money of course, because governments don’t produce anything – they steal it from the people. The Bank of England has generated £350Bn in QE so far – sort of balances don’t it?

But regardless of whatever ridiculous rules the government comes up with they have certainly started enforcement action if these local courts are anything to go by. It came as a surprise to me that these fines have been so draconian. This local article lists some of them and it’s a horrendous situation. “A number of people who broke COVID-19 restrictions during the first lockdown have been given fines by Bath Magistrates’ Court. A total of 15 people who were given fines this week broke restrictions in April by being out of their home, “during the coronavirus emergency period, without reasonable excuse, other than as permitted by the regulations”. https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/local-news/15-people-fined
If you are not yet convinced that Britain has descended into a police state, this report should convince you. “GCHQ (UK equivalent to NSA) spooks are monitoring the movement of British people minute by minute to check if they are complying with government restrictions, according to reports. The London Telegraph reports that spies from Britain’s most secretive intelligence and security organisation, Government Communications Headquarters, have embedded a ‘cell’ within Number 10 Downing Street in order to provide Prime Minister Boris Johnson with real time information pertaining to the public’s movements.”
Still not convinced? Try this exposé of our secret government agency. The UK government has been accused of operating an “Orwellian” unit known as the “clearing house” to obstruct the release of sensitive information under freedom of information (FOI). The little-known unit seeks to control the release of potentially embarrassing information, according to the openDemocracy group. The unit requires Whitehall departments to send it requests that are deemed to be potentially sensitive or too expensive to answer, and vets proposed responses.
David Davis, the former Tory minister, said the clearing house goes against the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act “and probably the letter, too”. The government says the clearing house exists to ensure a standard approach to FOI requests, adding: “We must balance the public need to make information available with our duty to protect sensitive information and ensure national security.”
The captured MSM have no intention of letting you know the results of this recent court case in Portugal which says it all about the fraud which is being perpetrated globally by the psychopaths ruling us. “An appeals court in Portugal has ruled that the PCR process is not a reliable test for Sars-Cov-2, and therefore any enforced quarantine based on those test results is unlawful. Further, the ruling suggested that any forced quarantine applied to healthy people could be a violation of their fundamental right to liberty.
Most importantly, the judges ruled that a single positive PCR test cannot be used as an effective diagnosis of infection. You can read the complete ruling in the original translated into English here. The media reaction to this case has been entirely predictable – they have not mentioned it, at all, anywhere, ever. The ruling was published on November 11th, and has been referenced by many alt-news sites since but the mainstream outlets are maintaining a complete blackout on it.” https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/20/portuguese-court-rules-pcr-tests-unreliable-quarantines-unlawful/
AND this article about that fraud is detailed and technical but for those who want to know the details of this fictional pandemic it is required reading and well worth the time IMHO if we are to beat the living daylights out of the damaging misinformation perpetrated by MSM, scientists and politicians alike, serving their masters’ dictates in their pursuit of the ‘Great Reset’ to enslave us all. “COVID 19 and the subsequent governmental responses appear to be part of an international conspiracy to commit fraud. It seems there is no evidence that a virus called SARS-CoV-2 causes a disease called COVID 19. My attention was drawn to some research published by the Spanish medical journal D-Salud-Discovery. Their advisory board of eminently qualified physicians and scientists lends further credibility to their research. Their claim is astounding.” https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/17/covid19-evidence-of-global-fraud/
There is more detail here that describes the corruption that is taking place at the vaccine developers and their manipulation of the MSM to coerce us into accepting their jab. “Over the past week the race for a vaccine for COVID-19 has approached the finishing line, with the Oxford Vaccine Group looking to be the first to cross in the UK. This has occasioned a huge and relentless promotional campaign by the Department of Health and Social Care. In doing so, it has drawn on three media-friendly figures, in particular, to guarantee the safety of the vaccine: Dr. June Raine, Professor Andrew Pollard and Professor Jonathan Van Tam.” Follow the money:
These are the ludicrous conclusions that the Public Health authorities in Britain have arrived at. “Take a look at Supermarkets are the most common place to catch Covid, new data reveals. It’s a story on a “study” assembled by Public Health England (PHE) from the NHS Test and Trace App. Here is the conclusion. In the six days of November studied, “of those who tested positive, it was found that 18.3 per cent had visited a supermarket.”
Now, if the alarm bells don’t go off with that one, you didn’t pay attention to 7th grade science. If the app had also included showering, eating, and breathing, it might have found a 100% correlation. Yes, the people who tested positive probably did shop, as do most people. That doesn’t mean that shopping gives you Covid and it certainly doesn’t mean that shopping kills you.” https://www.aier.org/article/the-blizzard-of-bogus-journalism-on-covid/ – with these people in charge we have no hope of a future for the UK.
On a general note of observation about the effects of the scamdemic, this short article underlines the widespread psychological damage occurring across the globe: “The pandemic has seriously altered how we work. According to statistics published by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in September 2020, US$35 trillion (£26 trillion) has been lost globally in labour income. There has also been an estimated loss of 17% of working hours worldwide since 2019, with young people and women being hit hardest. And many of those still in jobs are working under very different conditions.
We are just beginning to understand the long-term consequences of this change, for worker wellbeing, for how work is carried out and for society and economies as a whole. As a work psychologist, I am interested in how these pandemic-induced changes affect individual people’s wellbeing, their behaviour and their attitudes – and what the broader effects for society as a whole might be. Perceived job insecurity is recognised as a serious stressor affecting mental and physical health but also work behaviour and even political attitudes. Meanwhile, actual unemployment in the UK, even with the furlough, has risen to 4.8%, and the Bank of England is predicting this will double by 2021.”

Now that UK has left the EU, I will comment on relevant EU – UK events as they arise:
“The governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, has warned that the economic cost of a no-deal Brexit would be bigger in the long term than the damage caused by Covid-19.
Bailey said failure to agree to a deal before the Brexit transition expires at the end of December would cause disruption to cross-border trade and damage the goodwill between London and Brussels needed to build a future economic partnership.
Speaking to MPs on the Commons Treasury committee, he said the fallout from the pandemic and the second national lockdown in England was having a much bigger short-term impact on the economy. However, “the long-term effects, I think, would be larger than the long-term effects of Covid. But … it would be better to have a trade deal, yes; no question about it.”
With little more than a month before the transition period ends, a trade deal between London and Brussels is close to being finalised, although officials have warned that the risk remains of an accidental no deal if compromises cannot be reached.”

To be continued next week.
It sounds like the stupid hell Biden would have us all live in.
Coming soon to the USSA.
I figured that with Boris having interesting hair – like Trump and Geert Wilders – that he’d be good. Apparently interesting hair is not enough.
Britain no longer deserves any further regard, more-so than the USSA. IGNORED.
