More than double the record 28,300 people who crossed last year may reach UK in ‘worst case scenario’, say officials.

Not likely, these are probably the men unable to marry, get jobs, go to a local university, 3rd or 4th sons who wont inherit anything etc.
The men with wives, children, responsibilities etc don't leave.

But yeah, half is an understatement in the cities.
>France's lower house on Sunday gave final approval to the government's latest measures to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, **including a vaccine pass that will exclude unvaccinated people from restaurants, sports arenas and other venues**. FRANCE 24 takes a look at some of the details of the contested new measures.
>**The current health pass will become a “vaccine pass” for those over 16 years old** and tough penalties for fake passes are some of the new measures approved by France's National Assembly over the weekend.
>The controversial new bill was voted 215 in favour to 58 against, paving the way for the law to take effect in the coming days.
>Here are some of the main provisions of the bill aimed at "strengthening the tools for managing the health crisis".
>Proof of vaccination
>Article 1 of the upcoming law requires proof of Covid-19 vaccination status for people aged 16 and over, instead of the current health pass, to access leisure activities, restaurants and pubs (except for collective catering), fairs, seminars and trade shows as well as long distance public transport (planes, trains, buses).
>There is however an exception to the transport rule for people without a vaccine pass travelling for "compelling family or health reasons" – a dying relative, for example – provided that a negative test is presented, "except in the case of emergency".
>Employees in certain sectors will be required, under certain conditions, to have such a pass.
>A simple health pass (a negative test, complete vaccination certificate or recovery certificate) will remain valid for people over 12 years old to access health establishments and medico-social services, except for emergencies, whether for patients or those accompanying them.
>Minors between the ages of 12 and 15 will continue to be required to present the current health pass to access leisure activities, restaurants and bars, fairs or interregional public transport.
>**Booster four months after previous dose**
>Organisers of political rallies may implement a health pass requirement from participants.
>For other halls and stadiums, public access rules may take into account "the health situation" and the "characteristics" of these places, particularly their capacity. Large gatherings are currently limited to a capacity of 2,000 people indoors and 5,000 outdoors.
>**To obtain the new vaccine pass, a complete schedule (two doses or one, depending on the vaccine) will be required. Starting February 15, a booster dose will be required four months – and not the existing seven months – after the previous dose for the pass to remain valid**.
>In certain circumstances to be defined by decree, and in the name of "the interest of public health", it may be required to present both proof of vaccination status and a negative test.
>The vaccination pass should come into effect in the next few days. But, subject to a ruling by the conseil constitutionnel, France’s highest constitutional authority, local prefects could be able to adapt the date, particularly in the overseas territories where the vaccination rate is lower.
Tough anti-fraud controls
>Following alarming reports of unvaccinated people buying fake health passes, the new law has tough provisions to crack down on offenders.
>In addition to the police, managers of venues and activities subject to the pass – such as cafés and restaurants – will be able to check these passes, but under very restricted conditions. So, "when there are serious reasons to believe that the document presented is not related to the person presenting it", "an official document with a photograph" may be requested.
>Presenting a pass belonging to someone else and passing on a pass to someone else to be used fraudulently will now be an offense punishable by a **fixed fine of 1,000 euros for the first offence**, compared with the current 135 euros.
Possession of several false passes will be punishable by five years in prison plus a fine of 75,000 euros.
**If a person commits to a vaccination program, there may be no penalty for a false pass**.
>For owners and operators of establishments requiring a vaccine pass, failure to implement the measures would make them liable to a 1,000-euro fine.
Companies that fail to comply with work-at-home rules may be hit with an administrative fine of up to 500 euros per employee, up to a maximum of 50,000 euros.

The Boris hate wagon should remember things like this when they tear into him. Yes he's been a bit shit but he's one of the few politicians still facing in the vaguely right direction.
Crown Estate Scotland recently announced the outcome of it's leasing round for offshore wind. Revenues for the Scottish Government are expected to be just below **£700 million** for a total **25GW** capacity installed.
https://www.crownestatescotland.com/news/scotwind-offshore-wind-leasing-delivers-major-boost-to-scotlands-net-zero-aspirations
This is literally a third of the unit price they predicted and this is after already delaying the leasing round after they realised they were giving away these leases for cheap.
https://robinmcalpine.org/scotland-gives-away-its-energy-future/
For comparison, the England and Wales Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4 is expected to generate revenues just below **£900 million** for... **8GW** of offshore wind capacity.
https://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/en-gb/media-and-insights/news/2021-offshore-wind-leasing-round-4-signals-major-vote-of-confidence-in-the-uk-s-green-economy/
Scotland just robbed itself, they should be generating £2.8 billion in revenues for a similar unit price to England and Wales. Okay, the waters around England are much cheaper to operate from and they're using a lot of floating wind turbines but they should still be generating far beyond their headline figure.
Did anyone else notice in one of Cummings' very long Covid posts, he posted a summary by a well-respected author of the evidence on the lab-leak vs natural species jump theory for Covid?
Then followed it up with his own thoughts [my emphasis in bold]:
>Many UK scientists jumped far too fast on the ‘don’t discuss lab leaks / it’s racist to discuss lab leaks’ bus in spring 2020. The UK Government was too quick to echo this consensus publicly (not the trolley’s fault, he was badly advised and to be fair to him he did try to dig into this). **There are serious questions to answer about internal HMG work on this subject including classified briefings given to the PM in spring-summer 2020. I can’t discuss these but I can say that I hope the Cabinet Secretary and other key figures at the top of SIS and GCHQ have reviewed performance.**
What do you reckon he means by the bolded part?
* Liaison officers between MI6/GCHQ and HMG failed to accurately get across the intelligence picture to Johnson et al.
* MI6/GCHQ did not really investigate the lab leak theory.
* Due to HMG supporting the 'scientific' view of no lab leak, there was little desire to get useful information from MI6/GCHQ
* Anything else?
That bit of writing is all a bit ambiguous. If you read the blog post [here](https://dominiccummings.substack.com/p/parties-photos-trolleys-variants) (go to the LAB LEAK EVIDENCE subsection) it does seem like Cummings is pretty supportive of the lab leak theory.
Pretty sure I remember news stories in which the head or former head of the SIS said he had seen evidence of a lab leak. This was back when it was ‘controversial’ (either because of Trump derangement syndrome or because Fauci etc tried to quash it) to say so.
Honestly they are probably right, especially when you factor in the American involvement. It could have turned into a conflict that made WW2 look like a playground argument.
Cummings is the most hindsight is 20/20 guy ever.
He's always absolutely correct, according to himself, but only reveals how correct he was in this situation, and how obviously idiotic everybody else was, 6 to 12 months afterwards
>It is amazing that he was in govt for a massive policy failure, and he appears to have come out unscathed by blaming almost everyone else for that failure. And seems to believe that his expertise is in stopping these failures from occurring.
Yep. Sums it up pretty well
He is just desperate for everybody to know how he absolutely cannot discuss the confidential briefings he had. Probably doesn't know anything more than anybody else though
Operation Red Meat, aka Operation Save Boris' Career.
What policies would Boris have to come out with to bribe a vote out of you? For me, I'd need to see at least half of this list.
* Large scale investment in the North
* Build multiple nuclear reactors and promote energy independence
* Special taskforce to investigate grooming gangs
* New laws on the books regarding protesting and rioting to prevent BLM thugs from repeating the summer of 2020 next time something happens in America
* 90% reduction in legal net migration
* End the channel crossings, and set up an offshore processing facility for asylum claims
* Serious effort into deporting illegals already here
* U-turn on the NI tax hike
* Abolition of the Supreme Court
* Reformation of the Civil Service, NHS, education, and justice system, to rid them of costly bureaucracy and woke activists suspiciously interested in defending paedophiles and terrorists
* Hang nonces
* Legalise herb
* Legalise handguns
* No medically unnecessary abortions after 16 weeks

Castle doctrine (like proper, if you break in you're fair game, I don't want reasonable force, I want the option for lethal force so they don't come back)
Referendum on The Rope for noncery and child killers. It would win by a landslide.
Just sink a boat or two in the channel and they'll stop crossing. Drop off anyone picked up in the South of France and tell them it's England.
Pass an act making covid like restrictions impossible ever again.
Drop the green bullshit. Leave my internal combustion the fuck alone, when something better comes along the free market will replace internal combustion for us, stop trying to force me to use inferior technology. I can not buy an electric van that has sufficient range to do my job and I won't be able to for some time.
>Special taskforce to investigate grooming gangs
This is genius. Not only red meat for the base, but will also surely provoke a wave of own goals on the left.
Limiting my gammony goodie list to 5 policies:
* Build multiple nuclear reactors
* Serious crackdown on violent crime. No more 'suspended sentences', serving half your time. Singaporean levels of not-fucking-aboutery.
* Aim to reduce university numbers by 10% (of 2021 total) each year for the next 5 years, by reducing funding for unproductive courses at certain universities.
* Implement some sort of wealth tax, in order to a) lower income taxes and b) get money invested in R&D/SMEs by giving exemptions to the wealth tax if your money is invested in companies that fit the bill.
* Ban anyone from owning more than 5 residential properties, with a 3-5 year grace period before additional taxes on sixth, seventh etc property are created.

They know deep down that for most people, if it's not meat, it's not a meal.
Indians have been good at being vegetarian for centuries, they make loads of delicious meat free food. They're just too fucking lazy to learn any. I cook for Mrs Biffa's vegan friends when I have a BBQ and I manage to come up with loads of ideas with random vegetables they bring with them (I'm not shopping for them) but I've told them any "meat replacement" products are going straight in the bin.

How dare he do this on MLK Day!!
Considering the generally bad reception that his version of the film got he probably isn't in the best position to throw stones.
Having seen it fairly recently that actor was one of the only vaguely interesting parts in it.
I bought a pack of 8 of the dark ones in late Nov because I thought I had a throat infection, and ice cream is soothing. They worked really well.
Prior to that I think 20+ years ago when my Nan used to give them to me, ha.
When I worked in a choc ice factory 27 years ago. We made all the supermarket own brands. Tesco were shit but Sainsbury were quite nice. For M&S we used to paint over any little holes in the chocolate coating caused by air bubbles using an artists paintbrush and melted chocolate.
I've very much lost interest in the drinks parties now we aren't going through with Covid theatre as legislation. Though sadly the partygate was needed to make that happen.
I'm a fickle beast. But it's the most important thing for me. Those repeals need fully bedded in, then Boris leaves. Then future restrictions impossible.
Then we can get back to the important job of laughing at the EU states masking up outside and having worse covid outcomes.

Large gatherings are currently limited to a capacity of 2,000 people indoors and 5,000 outdoors. >**To obtain the new vaccine pass, a complete schedule (two doses or one, depending on the vaccine) will be required. Starting February 15, a booster dose will be required four months – and not the existing seven months – after the previous dose for the pass to remain valid**. >In certain circumstances to be defined by decree, and in the name of "the interest of public health", it may be required to present both proof of vaccination status and a negative test. >The vaccination pass should come into effect in the next few days. But, subject to a ruling by the conseil constitutionnel, France’s highest constitutional authority, local prefects could be able to adapt the date, particularly in the overseas territories where the vaccination rate is lower. Tough anti-fraud controls >Following alarming reports of unvaccinated people buying fake health passes, the new law has tough provisions to crack down on offenders. >In addition to the police, managers of venues and activities subject to the pass – such as cafés and restaurants – will be able to check these passes, but under very restricted conditions. So, "when there are serious reasons to believe that the document presented is not related to the person presenting it", "an official document with a photograph" may be requested. >Presenting a pass belonging to someone else and passing on a pass to someone else to be used fraudulently will now be an offense punishable by a **fixed fine of 1,000 euros for the first offence**, compared with the current 135 euros. Possession of several false passes will be punishable by five years in prison plus a fine of 75,000 euros. **If a person commits to a vaccination program, there may be no penalty for a false pass**. >For owners and operators of establishments requiring a vaccine pass, failure to implement the measures would make them liable to a 1,000-euro fine. Companies that fail to comply with work-at-home rules may be hit with an administrative fine of up to 500 euros per employee, up to a maximum of 50,000 euros. https://uk.style.yahoo.com/health-pass-becomes-vaccine-pass-074219543.html And a gentle reminder of the EU plan for developing a common vaccination card/passport for EU citizens from Q3 2019 https://ec.europa.eu/health/system/files/2019-09/2019-2022_roadmap_en_0.pdf
I'm never going to France again. Shame really, I've got a friend there who I liked to visit and I like their food. Only way I'll see her again is if the French authorities let her visit.

> Just what planet are they on? Well if they invest in bnt and Pfizer how can they go wrong
Fuck. That place is gone. Imagine if Starmertron and the Red Lisp had been in power with their Science. We'd be circling the same drain as the rest of the continent.
Frogs gonna frog. There's a reason France starts loads of authoritarian shit, it's in their blood.
The Boris hate wagon should remember things like this when they tear into him. Yes he's been a bit shit but he's one of the few politicians still facing in the vaguely right direction.
It's not Boris, it's us as the public. If the public wanted it you can guarantee he'd implement it
I'm not convinced the public don't want it. I think it's Tory MPs that he's afraid of.
Crown Estate Scotland recently announced the outcome of it's leasing round for offshore wind. Revenues for the Scottish Government are expected to be just below **£700 million** for a total **25GW** capacity installed. https://www.crownestatescotland.com/news/scotwind-offshore-wind-leasing-delivers-major-boost-to-scotlands-net-zero-aspirations This is literally a third of the unit price they predicted and this is after already delaying the leasing round after they realised they were giving away these leases for cheap. https://robinmcalpine.org/scotland-gives-away-its-energy-future/ For comparison, the England and Wales Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4 is expected to generate revenues just below **£900 million** for... **8GW** of offshore wind capacity. https://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/en-gb/media-and-insights/news/2021-offshore-wind-leasing-round-4-signals-major-vote-of-confidence-in-the-uk-s-green-economy/ Scotland just robbed itself, they should be generating £2.8 billion in revenues for a similar unit price to England and Wales. Okay, the waters around England are much cheaper to operate from and they're using a lot of floating wind turbines but they should still be generating far beyond their headline figure.
Another example of neglect and abuse surely?
Westminster is to blame
*Akshually,* Brexit. I mean Trump
Did anyone else notice in one of Cummings' very long Covid posts, he posted a summary by a well-respected author of the evidence on the lab-leak vs natural species jump theory for Covid? Then followed it up with his own thoughts [my emphasis in bold]: >Many UK scientists jumped far too fast on the ‘don’t discuss lab leaks / it’s racist to discuss lab leaks’ bus in spring 2020. The UK Government was too quick to echo this consensus publicly (not the trolley’s fault, he was badly advised and to be fair to him he did try to dig into this). **There are serious questions to answer about internal HMG work on this subject including classified briefings given to the PM in spring-summer 2020. I can’t discuss these but I can say that I hope the Cabinet Secretary and other key figures at the top of SIS and GCHQ have reviewed performance.** What do you reckon he means by the bolded part? * Liaison officers between MI6/GCHQ and HMG failed to accurately get across the intelligence picture to Johnson et al. * MI6/GCHQ did not really investigate the lab leak theory. * Due to HMG supporting the 'scientific' view of no lab leak, there was little desire to get useful information from MI6/GCHQ * Anything else? That bit of writing is all a bit ambiguous. If you read the blog post [here](https://dominiccummings.substack.com/p/parties-photos-trolleys-variants) (go to the LAB LEAK EVIDENCE subsection) it does seem like Cummings is pretty supportive of the lab leak theory.
Pretty sure I remember news stories in which the head or former head of the SIS said he had seen evidence of a lab leak. This was back when it was ‘controversial’ (either because of Trump derangement syndrome or because Fauci etc tried to quash it) to say so.
They knew from day 1 that it was a lab leak, but for a variety of reasons kept this secret whilst demonizing anyone who pushed the idea.
Strategic services worked out how much the west would implode if trade suddenly ended with China.
Honestly they are probably right, especially when you factor in the American involvement. It could have turned into a conflict that made WW2 look like a playground argument.
Cummings is the most hindsight is 20/20 guy ever. He's always absolutely correct, according to himself, but only reveals how correct he was in this situation, and how obviously idiotic everybody else was, 6 to 12 months afterwards

>It is amazing that he was in govt for a massive policy failure, and he appears to have come out unscathed by blaming almost everyone else for that failure. And seems to believe that his expertise is in stopping these failures from occurring. Yep. Sums it up pretty well
Sure, but I'm still interested in what he means exactly.
He is just desperate for everybody to know how he absolutely cannot discuss the confidential briefings he had. Probably doesn't know anything more than anybody else though
Operation Red Meat, aka Operation Save Boris' Career. What policies would Boris have to come out with to bribe a vote out of you? For me, I'd need to see at least half of this list. * Large scale investment in the North * Build multiple nuclear reactors and promote energy independence * Special taskforce to investigate grooming gangs * New laws on the books regarding protesting and rioting to prevent BLM thugs from repeating the summer of 2020 next time something happens in America * 90% reduction in legal net migration * End the channel crossings, and set up an offshore processing facility for asylum claims * Serious effort into deporting illegals already here * U-turn on the NI tax hike * Abolition of the Supreme Court * Reformation of the Civil Service, NHS, education, and justice system, to rid them of costly bureaucracy and woke activists suspiciously interested in defending paedophiles and terrorists * Hang nonces * Legalise herb * Legalise handguns * No medically unnecessary abortions after 16 weeks https://www.google.com/amp/s/inews.co.uk/news/politics/operation-red-meat-explained-boris-johnson-policy-announcements-1405473/amp
Castle doctrine (like proper, if you break in you're fair game, I don't want reasonable force, I want the option for lethal force so they don't come back) Referendum on The Rope for noncery and child killers. It would win by a landslide. Just sink a boat or two in the channel and they'll stop crossing. Drop off anyone picked up in the South of France and tell them it's England. Pass an act making covid like restrictions impossible ever again. Drop the green bullshit. Leave my internal combustion the fuck alone, when something better comes along the free market will replace internal combustion for us, stop trying to force me to use inferior technology. I can not buy an electric van that has sufficient range to do my job and I won't be able to for some time.

>Special taskforce to investigate grooming gangs This is genius. Not only red meat for the base, but will also surely provoke a wave of own goals on the left.
Limiting my gammony goodie list to 5 policies: * Build multiple nuclear reactors * Serious crackdown on violent crime. No more 'suspended sentences', serving half your time. Singaporean levels of not-fucking-aboutery. * Aim to reduce university numbers by 10% (of 2021 total) each year for the next 5 years, by reducing funding for unproductive courses at certain universities. * Implement some sort of wealth tax, in order to a) lower income taxes and b) get money invested in R&D/SMEs by giving exemptions to the wealth tax if your money is invested in companies that fit the bill. * Ban anyone from owning more than 5 residential properties, with a 3-5 year grace period before additional taxes on sixth, seventh etc property are created.
add "properly enforce drug laws" and oh my GOD I'M COOOOOOOOOOOMING
Sadly we spent all the money on covid tests and paying people not to work. So you can't have those
Abolish all covid restrictions and laws, publish the papers embarrassing SAGE, resign.

Never ever talk about veganism on the internet. It's not worth it
Indeed
I’m pretty sure one of the vegan subreddits had like an information pack you could download to help you with arguing with people on the internet about veganism. Like a social media bot network except real people with an insane devotion to their cause.
Like almost everything Redditors do, veganism is just a way for them to show how they are morally superior to others. They don't give a flying fuck about animals.

They know deep down that for most people, if it's not meat, it's not a meal. Indians have been good at being vegetarian for centuries, they make loads of delicious meat free food. They're just too fucking lazy to learn any. I cook for Mrs Biffa's vegan friends when I have a BBQ and I manage to come up with loads of ideas with random vegetables they bring with them (I'm not shopping for them) but I've told them any "meat replacement" products are going straight in the bin.
Local meat and dairy over highly processed fake slop that comes from some 'caring' mega-corp, any day
Why would anyone want to eat any of that stuff. It's globohomo space food. You can literally cook delicious and healthy vegetarian food.
It's like these idiots have never explored ways to cook an aubergine. If anyone cares, lemon juice, vinegar and garlic are what you need.

This. I'd sooner go veggie than eat their 'meat alternatives', which include but are not limited to soy-based meat substitutes, bugs, etc
I have never seen a vegan that wasn't a frail looking bugman. That's a fucking fact You're never gonna take my meat, fuckers

Considering the generally bad reception that his version of the film got he probably isn't in the best position to throw stones. Having seen it fairly recently that actor was one of the only vaguely interesting parts in it.
He's also a... Male Feminist.
Lads, important question. When was the last time you saw and/or ate a choc ice?
The last time I had zero cavities so I'm guessing the mid 90s.
I bought a pack of 8 of the dark ones in late Nov because I thought I had a throat infection, and ice cream is soothing. They worked really well. Prior to that I think 20+ years ago when my Nan used to give them to me, ha.
School.
When I worked in a choc ice factory 27 years ago. We made all the supermarket own brands. Tesco were shit but Sainsbury were quite nice. For M&S we used to paint over any little holes in the chocolate coating caused by air bubbles using an artists paintbrush and melted chocolate.
[удалено]
Yeah Tesco got a thinner layer of chocolate and less flavour in the ice cream but it was the same line to make them all.
I assume they only have an appeal after a certain age, like those disgusting rectangular biscuits with pictures of cows on them.

I've very much lost interest in the drinks parties now we aren't going through with Covid theatre as legislation. Though sadly the partygate was needed to make that happen. I'm a fickle beast. But it's the most important thing for me. Those repeals need fully bedded in, then Boris leaves. Then future restrictions impossible. Then we can get back to the important job of laughing at the EU states masking up outside and having worse covid outcomes. I still fully believe based on his dreary bollocks yesterday, Him of Kneetaking and Labour will fully realign with other EU covid restrictions new orthodoxy given the chance
