Just how stupid and irrational do the government’s rules have to be before the population takes notice and rebels?

Pubs and restaurants might be allowed to reopen after Easter in April but only if they agree not to sell alcohol, it is reported.

Another report suggests pubs and restaurants might not fully reopen – with alcohol sales – until May, though takeaway pints will be allowed before then as the Covid-19 lockdown is eased.

Covid-19 is an airborne virus. It does not travel in alcohol. The consumption of alcohol has nothing to do with its spread. This rule is not based on science, it is based on stupidity and control. We are well into the realms of shamanism, not science.

They are said to be concerned about punters’ ability to social distance when drinking.

FFS! This is infantilisation on steroids. These people really do need to be taken out and shot – then shot again just to be sure. Heads on spikes outside Traitors’ Gate as a deterrent to other wannabe despots.

Going by the comments in the Mirror’s piece, I suspect that people are, indeed, starting to show signs of pushing back.

I don’t think I have ever hated a government with the vehemence that I hate this one – along with the scumbags in SAGE. Maybe don’t shoot them, just hang draw and quarter them having dragged them through the streets of London for all to see.

  1. Looks like just as the time comes to get the country back open, one shitbag pops up out of the woodwork yet again to start peddling fear..

    From Lockdownsceptics.org:

    ” The competing pulls that Mr Johnson faces were underlined this afternoon as the Government published stark modelling from Prof Neil Ferguson’s team at Imperial College.

    Considered by SAGE on January 14th, the paper assumed that there will be a phased easing of lockdown between March and July, and warned that a “rapid ramp-up” of vaccinations to “at least” 3 million doses a week is “critical to avoid exceeding national hospital capacity after the current wave”.

    The Government is currently maintaining around that level. But the report added: “This would still lead to an additional 130,800 (103,200 – 167,600) deaths between now and June 2022.”

    The Imperial team suggested that its findings meant “a more cautious approach to gradually lifting (lockdown measures) may need to be considered than the ones modelled in this report”.

    But Professor Lockdown’s modelling appears to be based on the assumption that about 50,000 Covid patients would be in hospital by mid-February, before dropping towards the end of the month. In reality, the figures never exceeded 40,000 and have now dropped to about 30,000 already.”

    • And of course what constitutes a ‘Covid patient’ is open to interpretation as these figures include many people admitted to hospital for other reasons and subsequently testing positive – like old Tom.

  2. Give Ferguson the credit he’s due – he’s raised incompetence to a world-leading level. If we could only move him to The “University” of East Anglia he’d get all the dodgy data he could need to complete his paper on “Fat salaries in scientific fantasy in the first quarter of the 21st Century”

  3. Local elections coming up in May. I’d like the Conservatives to lose all of their seats. Maybe they’ll get the message then.

  4. One can hope, but can’t see it. There are still far too many that erroneously believe Labour and Conservative are what they say on the tin.

  5. To be fair, BoJo has been reported as saying allowing the pubs to open but not sell alcoholic drinks is absurd so why bother? Of course they will sell drinks. Words to this effect.

  6. I am afraid just like Brexiteers, the lockdown sceptics will ultimately be seen to be on the right side of history – but we will have to be patient because it ain’t happening anytime soon
