The answer seems to depend on whether Grandma has an app on her phone to scan your vaccine passport barcode. I had to check the date on the relevant newspaper articles to ensure that this announcement was not made on April Fool’s day. Sadly, it wasn’t. The suggestion is that to protect your elderly Grandma she will have to screen guests as they arrive at her house. Logically, she will have to turn you away if you don’t come up positive for two doses of a COVID-19 vaccination. Here is yet another example of the insanity that seems to be more infectious than the coronavirus amongst Boris Johnson and his assorted team of psychopaths. Really, what world do these people inhabit, have they completely lost their grasp of reality and, more importantly, have they got nothing better to do? The country is in a multi trillion-pound debt situation, the NHS really will be overwhelmed very soon with all the people who went undiagnosed during lockdown and businesses and jobs go to the wall daily. And the government sit around dreaming up how they can interfere in the minutiae of our lives and inconvenience us all to the highest possible degree.
Be under no illusion. Boris and his team are just having too much fun to want to stop. They got away with the unexpected: removing the basic freedoms we have in this country of movement, association and free speech. Now they are on a roll and we just wait to be told what we can and cannot do next. The proposed vaccine passports will divide society into the haves and have nots with respect to the COVID-19 vaccination and introduce a kind of social apartheid whereby only certain approved people will be permitted access to bars and restaurants, to fly and even to work. Ring any bells? But it gets worse. The proposal to have Grandma scanning you into her birthday party will divide families and friends.
Why stop at Grandma? Why not have a scanner in every household? Believe me, I know some people who would relish it. The kind of people who leave their own family members standing outside in the rain to hold a conversation because the government tells them these are the rules. Why not take things a step further and arm each household with a shotgun just in case someone makes a run for it. After all, as I keep being told by some people ‘it’s a nasty virus.’ The government tells us that most—around 80%—of the population favours continued lockdown restrictions. I am not entirely convinced by this figure as those who control the opinion polls usually control the outcome. But nor am I particularly surprised by the figure. What disappoints me is that anyone at all is in favour of continued restrictions. Some turkeys clearly do vote for Christmas.
I think the continued polling in favour of what the government are doing anyway is simply another aspect of the psych ops to which we are being subjected. It only takes a minute’s reflection to ask the question ‘what would they do if the polls were not in favour of lockdown?’ You can be sure they would not relent and lift restrictions immediately. Boris and his team are indicating that restrictions will be eased, but we have been here before. I have no direct influence on the UK government, but if I had I would be warning them that we want no more false summits; this time it must be for real and it must restore all our freedoms—lock, stock and both barrels. I would not like to see the reaction of the British people if, on a sweltering hot day in July or August, Boris took to his £2.6 million refurbished podium only to announce the reimposition of restrictions. I reserve the right to be wrong, but I think the Storming of the Bastille would be considered a minor infraction compared with what may happen at 10 Downing Street.
