    I've not been asked for anything, anywhere.

    Some friends went to a concert that required a covid pass recently. When they got there, they realised they'd left all the paperwork, and their phones in the room. Rather than miss the start, they decided to see if they could blag it, and simply held out their empty palm to security, who waved them through. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    They want me to have another 25 apples Archie. That's far too many apples imho.

    I'd take a couple of peaches though.

    Vaccines minister He added that while a full lockdown is unlikely and would be a last resort, some measures could be introduced and the school half-term could also be extended to two weeks in late October if the NHS is pushed to the brink of capacity

    'He added that while a full lockdown is unlikely and would be a last resort, some measures could be introduced and the school half-term could also be extended to two weeks in late October if the NHS is pushed to the brink of capacity"

    7th September 2021


    School half term starts 25th October 2021




    Is the NHS pushed to the brink of capacity?

    Are there more cases, hospitalisations and deaths than last year?


    I'm hoping they don't lock us down again but like everything since Covid-19 a team of behavioural psychologists will assess to see if the majority of us will go along with their "restrictions " .

    Get your booster , wear your mask, wash your hands save are NHS

    The NHS is pushed to the brink of capacity every winter. That's been the cry from every government for at least the last 30 year.

    I've got no idea of the cases, hospitalisations and deaths. I haven't done for a long while. If I don't look at this forum, Covid is out of sight and out of mind. It's always going to be about so I've just accepted there needs to be an acceptable death rate from it and we need to learn to live with that.

    They'll always be a majority when it comes to doing what the government says so there's nothing for the behavioural psychologists to discuss with that one. If they are planning to lockdown on the 25th October it will go ahead. If it doesn't then it was never planned.

    You seemed to take the 25th October as a Mystic Meg prediction pulled out of my arsehole.

    I saw this sinister ghoul on television 7th September being interviewed and he mentioned that IF they did decide to lockdown again this "fire break" lockdown will be to extend school half-term to 2 weeks.

    We have heard the just 2 weeks to flatten the curve nonsense at the beginning.


    The hysteria on this thread is mainly due to the absolute tyranny across the pond In France where these covid passes have already been pushed through, Italy have declared no green pass no job , Israel is living with permanent never ending boosters , Australia is forcing it's citizens to sign up to covid passports and never ending boosters .
    People that refuse can't work , Lithuania the same with people having to shop at street markets because they aren't allowed in shops.


    I agree where I live you don't realise there is even a virus unless you ask to be tested but that rope around our necks has been loosened as a reward for our compliance.

    If you don't take the shots and boosters it's very difficult to travel to many countries without the NHS pass.
    In Scotland and Wales they are needed for night clubs here in England they are required for football matches and large events.

    The industry is complying and policing it themselves because we don't have enough actual police to enforce it .

    It's not a drastic step for people that regularly attend football matches travel abroad or go to concerts to agree to use the NHS pass to go to Tesco .

    In many EUROPEAN UNION countries you can't even use public transport without papers to prove you had the shots.

    In Freedom loving American any business with more than 1000 employees is mandated to have everybody vaccinated..

    Same with ALL health care workers and Military personnel.

    This winter will be hard as energy prices rocket and orchestrated food and fuel shortages disrupt our lives.
    .
    I lived in China they live under a Tyrannical dictatorship with social credit scores facial recognition apps and soon 100% cashless.

    It's not science fiction it's already here .

    I started buying vintage rare Marvel comics from the 90s from ebay , to use as currency when the financial system collapses in on itself...


    Read that in the next 13 years the US Dollar will be worth less than 50% of today's value.

    Beijing Brandon keeps printing more fake money and dismantling their infrastructure.

    Interesting times , probably a good time to start believing in a higher power .

    Facial recognition computers have found an unlikely new niche: scanning the faces of thousands of British pupils in school canteens. On Monday, nine schools in North Ayrshire will start taking payments for school lunches by scanning the faces of pupils, claiming that the new system speeds up queues and is more Covid-secure than the card payments and fingerprint scanners they used previously. “It’s the fastest way of recognising someone at the till — it’s faster than card, it’s faster than fingerprint,” said David Swanston, the managing director of CRB Cunninghams, the company that installed the systems.

    https://www.ft.com/content/af08fe55-39f3-4894-9b2f-4115732395b9

    In a secondary school you have around about a 25 minute period to serve potentially 1,000 pupils. So we need fast throughput at the point of sale.” He said the average transaction time was cut to five seconds per pupil. Many British schools have used other biometric systems, such as fingerprint scanners, to take payments for years, but privacy campaigners said there was little need to normalise facial recognition technology, which has been criticised for often operating without explicit consent. “It’s normalising biometric identity checks for something that is mundane. You don’t need to resort to airport style [technology] for children getting their lunch,” said Silkie Carlo of the campaign group Big Brother Watch. Swantson said cameras check against encrypted faceprint templates, which are stored on servers at the schools and 65 school sites had signed up. If there is a less intrusive way, that should be used. Fraser Sampson, Biometrics Commissioner for England and Wales He argued that CRB Cunningham’s system, which was piloted by Kingsmeadow Community school in Gateshead in the summer of 2020, was different from live facial recognition, which scans through crowds to identify faces. Live facial recognition has previously caused controversy after being used by schools for security or to monitor attendance. New York State has temporarily banned this practice, and Sweden has fined a municipality that trialled such a scheme. North Ayrshire council said that 97 per cent of children or their parents had given consent for the new system. “Pupils often forget their PINs and unfortunately some have also been the victim of PIN fraud, so they are supportive of the planned developments and appreciate the benefits to them,” the council said.



    It’s for your convenience. That’s all . Convenience.
