Boris Johnson’s Covid laws took away our rights with flick of a pen. Don’t let that happen again
It is almost three years since the first case of a novel coronavirus was identified in Wuhan, China.
It’s just over two and a half years since Boris Johnson gave us a “very simple instruction”, that we “must stay at home”, followed – three days later – by a law that for the first time in our history would impose a 24-hour curfew on almost the entire population. The years, months, weeks and days since have been so relentless – and at times almost beyond belief – that it is difficult to begin to process them. Many of us have experienced personal bereavement, and everyone has been touched in some way.
But as tempting as it is to move on, to focus on other important issues vexing our society, there are some aspects of the past three years we must face up to.
There are a hundred lenses through which to view this important period in modern history, but as a barrister I have looked at the more than 100 laws that placed England in lockdown, imposed hotel quarantine, international travel restrictions, self-isolation, face coverings and business closures.
These were probably the strangest and most extraordinary laws in England’s history, imposing previously unimaginable restrictions on our social lives, bringing into the realm of the criminal law areas of life – where we could worship, when we could leave home, even who we could hug – that had previously been purely a matter of personal choice.

BBC prepares secret scripts for possible use in winter blackouts
The BBC has prepared secret scripts that could be read on air if energy shortages cause blackouts or the loss of gas supplies this winter.
The scripts, seen by the Guardian, set out how the corporation would reassure the public in the event that a “major loss of power” causes mobile phone networks, internet access, banking systems or traffic lights to fail across England, Wales and Scotland. Northern Ireland would be unaffected because its electricity grid is shared with the Republic of Ireland.
The public would be advised to use car radios or battery-powered receivers to listen to emergency broadcasts on FM and long-wave frequencies usually reserved for Radio 2 and Radio 4.
One draft BBC script warns that a blackout could last for up to two days, with hospitals and police placed under “extreme pressure”...

Debunking the Myth That Lockdown Was Justified Because ‘We Didn’t Know’
The claim is now everywhere: we had to lock down because we just didn’t know about this virus. It was all very confusing and we had to play it safe. We had no other option because we just had no clarity about what we were dealing with. The precautionary principle dictated the unprecedented actions.
Actually, the precautionary principle goes both directions. It also dictates that we not enact policies that we know for sure would wreck lives and liberties. They did it anyway, without sufficient knowledge that the measures would achieve any positive good.
We approach the third year and people have forgotten that all the harms of lockdowns were strongly warned about by many voices in many venues. In addition, the virus was much better understood back then and openly discussed. We knew for certain that the panic and fear were being wildly overblown.
Below follows resources assembled by the ‘Robber Baron‘ and many others who write for the Brownstone Institute. These citations from newspapers, magazines, academic journals and interviews, with many respected voices, show that we certainly knew tremendous amounts in the early days. All the warnings and information were readily available to anyone paying attention.
We certainly live in an age of short attention span but many of these signs and warnings came weeks or months before the world locked down and they chronicled the damage as it was happening. Why all this came to be completely ignored remains the burning question.

The Fundamental Fraud
IN A CAUSTICALLY NAïVE OR INTENTIONALLY PLANTED article in The Atlantic, Brown University economist Emily Oster is calling for forgiveness of public officials who made “miscalculations” about their “pandemic” and the response they demanded from the public: what amounted to the sacrifice of our way of life.
Our way of life: the very thing we previously accused Osama bin Laden of wanting to take from us, for which we waged war against Afghanistan for nearly 25 years.
Yes, Emily Oster (and others) are openly calling for amnesty of those who fostered the destruction of the modern world and turned society into a prison camp. She thinks public officials should be given a pass for converting hospitals and nursing homes into execution centers.
We should all think we lost loved ones to some kind of accident, not a plan — then kiss and make up. They had the best intentions, after all. And of course we must now assume they will continue to have the best intentions as disaster capitalism unfolds month by month.
We’re Supposed to Get Over It
Oster writes of things like closing down beaches and making hikers wear face coverings in wide-open natural spaces, which would also include bans on speaking with your neighbor, or having a guest visit you in your garden:
Quote:These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.The perspective, “let’s get over it,” would seem to be a coordinated public relations approach. To claim health officials and politicians didn’t know what they were doing, or “overreacted,” when they locked down society in the spring of 2020, is to engage in the concealment of a criminal conspiracy.

Pensioner jailed for serving mince pies in lockdown has heart attack in prison – it’s the judge that should be in prison
A 72-year-old has been hospitalised following a heart attack he suffered in prison. Maurice Snelling was jailed for perverting the course of justice having been discovered serving mince pies during lockdown.
According to ChesireLive, he has reportedly been handcuffed to his hospital bed and refused visitors. Maurice Snelling broke coronavirus lockdown rules by serving wine and mince pies at Cloudside Shooting Club near Congleton.
At the time Staffordshire was under the government’s Tier 3 Covid-19 restrictions, unlike the neighbouring county of Cheshire.
Mr Snelling had tried to argue that his club was in Cheshire, however, he tried to destroy evidence and was told it was unlikely he didn’t know the club was in Staffordshire as he’d lived in the area for 30 years and his bins were emptied by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council.
As a result of his deceit, he was jailed earlier this month for a sentence of six months.
The court was told Snelling’s health had recently been in decline, and he had suffered multiple heart attacks prior to being sentenced. It’s understood he has now had another heart attack since being jailed and has had to be taken to hospital for treatment.
A representative of Cloudside said he wasn’t allowed any visitors and that he was being handcuffed to his hospital bed.
A statement from the club stated: “We have been informed that Mr Maurice Snelling, aged 72, suffered a heart attack sometime on Sunday 13th November 2022.”
They added: “Mr Snelling has had ongoing heart health issues and two previous heart attacks and was on a waiting list for a heart operation when convicted.
“Mr Snelling is to undergo heart surgery at an undisclosed hospital and is not allowed to receive any visitors.
“After recovering from surgery, Mr Snelling will be returned to prison to complete his sentence. The club has no further statement at this time.”

UK restaurants going bankrupt at faster rate than during ‘Covid’
UK restaurants are going bust at a faster rate than during the Covid crisis owing to a “toxic mix” of surging energy costs, staff shortages and falling bookings.
Closures in the sector rose by 60%, with 1,567 insolvencies over 2021-22, up from 984 during 2020-21, according to a study by the advisory firm Mazars. The figure includes 453 over the past three months, up from 395 in the previous quarter.
“Insolvencies of restaurant businesses are now happening at a far faster rate than during Covid,” Rebecca Dacre, a partner at Mazars, said. “It is a very toxic mix of rising input costs, sharply rising finance costs and weak demand. Most restaurateurs have not seen this combination of negative factors before.”

Dutch Government to close down 3000 farms
The Dutch government is planning to buy up and close down up to 3000 farms near so-called environmentally sensitive areas to comply with EU orders.
By Free West Media
Many farms are to be closed down in the Netherlands because of EU requirements and Brussels’ “Green Deal”. In the Netherlands there have been several protests by farmers in the summer, as reported by FWM.
The government will soon be making “compulsory purchases” of up to 3000 farms. These will then be closed down. The farmers will be made an offer that is “far above” the value of the farm, said Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal. “There is no better offer coming,” Van der Wal told MPs on Friday.
The Netherlands is the world’s second largest exporter of agricultural produce after the United States, supplying vegetables to much of Western Europe. More than half of Dutch land is used for agriculture, in addition to the 24 000 hectares of greenhouses.
In 2019 already, a ruling by the Dutch Council of State prevented the expansion of dairy, pig and poultry farms, seen as major sources of nitrogen.
Ministers will decide if enough farms have come forward voluntarily to close by next autumn...

Lockdown goals by stealth – so transparent: Working from home revolution! Employees will have right to ask for remote working from the moment they start a new job under proposed new laws
Millions of workers will have the right to demand working from home on day one of their new job under new laws drawn up by ministers.
The Government wants to allow for more flexible working, including job-sharing, flexi-time and staggered hours to improve the work-life balance.
It will be seen as a boost for employees who have domestic commitments such as caring for their children or elderly relatives.

Holodomor 2023 - How governments sabotage food infrastructure to starve the masses
When two power substations in North Carolina were reportedly taken down by gunfire in an apparent "criminal act," the establishment media went to work condemning that act. Yet the Associated Press had no condemnation for Joe Biden shutting down oil pipelines and drilling permits that ultimately provide energy resources for hundreds of millions of Americans. Similarly, there is no establishment media outlet condemning the seizure of 3,000 farms by the government of The Netherlands.
When rogue shooters sabotage infrastructure it's called "terrorism." When governments sabotage infrastructure, it's called "green policy."
We are all facing an engineered famine scenario that has only just begun…
