Lies.

https://www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/covid-19-vaccines/is-it-true/is-it-true-were-covid-19-vaccines-rushed-through-approvals-or-given-emergency-use-authorisations-in-australia

Were COVID-19 vaccines rushed through approvals or given emergency use authorisations in Australia?

Australia has made a full and thorough assessment of the Pfizer (Comirnaty) and AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria) vaccines.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) provisionally approved these vaccines after a complete assessment of all the available data. This is the same process as any vaccine approved in this country. The TGA will only register and approve a COVID-19 vaccine if it is safe and effective.

No part of the process has been rushed, and there was no emergency authorisation granted. The TGA does not have an “Emergency Use Authorisation” pathway for COVID-19 vaccines.

Lying by use assumptive language and arguing over minutiae.

It’s remarkable.

The TGA are claiming all vaccines are only ever given provisional approval and the EUAs were only ever made because of the (perceived) threat of COVID, not because they were not evaluated ((which normally taxes another 18-36 months).

The idea that provisional approval in Australia means that all experimentation is complete is highly solipsistic and simply false.

Didn’t I read that the TGA did NOT do any independent testing but relied solely on the U.S. data? The vaccine approval in the U.S. was definitely on an emergency basis.

In any case, what has happened to “informed consent” which forms part of our rules, based on international standards?

There are 100,000+ gun owners in Victoria, probably owning an average of three guns each. PORTS 700 AR-15’s are looking quite thin.

Every one of those 100,000+ gun owners is licensed and every gun is registered.
If the people actually need them to defend themselves from the VikStasi etc, just how long do you think you’d be able to keep them?

Possibly 1 week to hand them in, then a sufficient number of those PORTS 700 AR-15s would surround your house and take them. Once a few families had been cleaned out, the rest would fall into line very quickly.

Fat Tony at 10.51pm above has nailed it.

Every single licensed firearm in Australia can be declared illegal with a stroke of the government pen with huge penalties for not handing them in and warrantless search and seizure. They will kick your door down, handcuff you and trash your house to steal your property because “public safety”.

A training exercise for this scenario was recently held in WA when the Chief Plod declared legal gelblaster guns to now be illegal, subject to seizure and declared massive fines and prison time for anyone not handing their toy gun in to the police. None of this crap went within bull’s roar of the Parliament, just a new “regulation” by unelected nobodies.

Anybody who thinks the same thing won’t happen with your currently legal licensed guns when the the chips are down is living in a fool’s paradise.

They’re still running with the ‘false flag’ theme, + the protesters are endangering the public by not observing ‘health rules’ etc etc.

Strong on the sacrilege of ‘occupying the shrine of remembrance’.
No mention of national anthem singing or peacefulness of the protesters, just that the police had to respond to the mob with kinetic action – made it sound like the cops did not start it & that the protesters got what they deserved for going against the wishes of Maximum Leader.

The real shocker was they took quotes from the police & from CFMEU head office – & made out like that was a quote from each of the two parties involved – as if the CFMEU office is the legal & lawful representative of the protesters.

Holman Jenkins in the WSJ. Get rid of the FBI.

It’s a useless, malevolent organization. Just the other day, with no indication of any crimes committed it’s agents went to a Beverly Hills bank and opened up all the safety deposits. It’s agents then took all the valuables and the money it found in the boxes and informed the IRS. At no stage had the owners been accused or charged with any wrong doing.

Just get rid of it. It’s an ugly despicable institution.

Abolish the FBI
How much more do we need to learn about 2016 to realize the agency is a disaster?

In ignoring the latest John Durham indictment, most of the media and official Washington are ignoring the elephant between its written lines: the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mr. Durham, the special counsel appointed to investigate the government’s handling of the Russia collusion mess, levels a single criminal charge against Michael Sussmann, then a lawyer for the Democrat-linked firm Perkins Coie. In delivering to the FBI fanciful evidence of Trump-Russia collusion a few weeks before the 2016 election, Mr. Sussmann is alleged to have lied to the FBI’s chief lawyer, James Baker, claiming he was acting on his own behalf and not as a paid agent of the Clinton campaign.

Already you might be rolling your eyes. Mr. Durham provides ample reason in his own indictment for why the FBI would have known exactly whom Mr. Sussmann was working for. If Mr. Sussmann didn’t lie at the time, Mr. Baker may have lied since about what transpired between him and Mr. Sussmann.
Either way, we are free to suspect the FBI would have found it useful to be protected from inconvenient knowledge about the Clinton campaign’s role. The same FBI then was busy ignoring the political antecedents of the Steele dossier, also financed by Mr. Sussmann’s law firm on behalf of the Clinton campaign, information that the FBI would shortly withhold from a surveillance court in pursuit of a warrant to spy on Trump pilot fish Carter Page.
Mr. Durham, in describing the Sept. 19, 2016, meeting with Mr. Baker, suggests that a properly informed FBI might have thought twice before opening an investigation into Mr. Sussmann’s phony story about the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank. This is a way also of saying the FBI might have found it harder to proceed without the political deniability that Mr. Sussmann’s alleged statement provided.
At this late date, none of this can be consumed without recognizing that the FBI was already hip-deep in the 2016 election. It began a few weeks earlier with Director James Comey’s insubordinate, improper (according to the Justice Department’s own inspector general) intervention in the Hillary email case. We learned much later that Mr. Comey justified this unprecedented action by referring to secret Russian “intelligence” that his FBI colleagues considered a red herring and possible Russian disinformation. Your eyes should really be rolling now.

Mr. Comey thereupon created the preposterous jam for himself when new information surfaced in the Hillary case, which led him to reopen the case shortly before Election Day and likely tipped the race to Mr. Trump. Of course the “new information” turned out to be a nothingburger. Worse, the information had been sitting unnoticed in the FBI’s hands for weeks.
These antic actions, along with the subsequent FBI leakfest aimed at undermining the president it just helped to elect, might be written off as a singular consequence of Mr. Comey’s overweened sense of importance.
But this doesn’t explain the FBI’s top counterintelligence deputy, Peter Strzok, engaging in compromising political banter on an FBI network while playing a central role in the FBI’s most politically sensitive investigations. It doesn’t explain FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith’s criminal act of falsifying agency submissions to the surveillance court.
Ask yourself: In what way, in anyone’s memory, has the FBI covered itself in glory? The Larry Nassar case, in which it failed to pursue a serial abuser of teenage gymnasts? The Noor Salman case, in which it trumped up a failed prosecution of the innocent and abused wife of the Orlando nightclub shooter? The Hatfill case, in which it attempted to railroad an innocent scientist over the 2001 anthrax attacks?
Ironically, Hollywood is now the FBI’s biggest devotee because the agency’s screw-ups are fodder for its best movies. The FBI’s role in the assassination of Black Panther Fred Hampton was the subject of “Judas and the Black Messiah.” Its persecution of an innocent security guard in the Atlanta Olympics bombing was the theme of “ Richard Jewell. ” Its cosseting of the criminal psychopath Whitey Bulger was a central pillar of the Johnny Depp film “Black Mass.”
The FBI’s last extended run of good publicity, aimed at helping live down the smell of J. Edgar Hoover, came more than 50 years ago thanks to Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and his weekly show on ABC, “The F.B.I.,” which went off the air in 1974.
By now, after its performance in the 2016 election, the evidence might seem conclusive that the agency is a failed experiment, however able and dedicated many of its agents.
Its culture at the top seems incapable of using the powers entrusted to it with discretion and good judgment or at least without reliable expectation of embarrassment. The agency should be scrapped and something new built to replace it. One possibility is a national investigative corps that would be more directly answerable to the 93 U.S. attorneys who are charged with enforcing federal law in the 50 states.

So it’s become obvious our government knew full well what the nature of this virus was at the start of the pandemic. This is obvious since scumo and co started negotiating the AUKUS treaty at the very start of the pandemic.

It is obvious the west is playing appeasement with china, trying to avoid the unavoidable war that is coming.

History has shown that either these communist regimes collapse internally or are forcefully collapsed externally. Given the belligerence of the CCP and the spinelessness of the chinese people, the only option on the cards is the later.

The encroachment of chinese social credit into our daily lives, courtesy of the pandemic has also been planned since well before the delta variant came along.

The inconvenient fact that the delta variant does not stop transmission makes the passports entirely pointless, nevertheless the health bugmen in conjunction with the WHO, who are in the pockets of the CCP, have no intention of not wedging us with this bit of digital chinese style social credit fascism.

FSU vs. Notre Dame

Penn State vs. Auburn

Florida vs. Alabama (Gotta love them singing ‘Won’t back down’)

100,000 people screaming and singing at the top of their lungs standing right next to each other and if they are comparable to the national average at least 45% of them are non-vaccinated.

Not a mask in sight, no ‘social distancing’, and no Covid passports were checked at the gates.

Chinese Communist Defector Says China INTENTIONALLY Released COVID, Warned The US In November 2019

when we look at the chinese covid stats even taking into consideration that the chinese under-report the numbers, even if we consider that they are underreported by an order of magniture. The chinese covid stats, given an order of magnitude under-reporting are still AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE LOWER THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD.

It is clear the chinese were prepared, by way of a traditional vaccine well before the pandemic was spread to the world. Again we see that the chinese could have waited and stolen the tech for an mRNA vaccine the same way that russia did, but they didn’t need to and they still have not. No need, they had a normal vaccine that works.

they released the virus to test it in mid 2019. satisfied with the kill rate they staged a fake accident at the wuhan lab as a backup plan and pointed to the wet market as the source and proceeded to lock down transport around the country while ensuring the virus went international.

Yesterday, when the cops said the protesters at the Shrine had the opportunity to leave unmolested via a particular direction (St.Kilda Road), I thought – well, this is much more sensible. A welcome departure from their previous doctrine of corralling as many people in as small a space as possible and then thinking ‘now what?’.

Leave peacefully, and you can go peacefully, they said. Okay.

Except the people that did exactly that were isolated and pinched as soon as they did so. Now this is one of two things:

1. A predetermined plan to thin out protester numbers. This is very poorly thought out, because the aforementioned people were pinched in full view of the crowd’s remainder, who quite rightly thought ‘fuck that, the lying pricks’; or
2. This idea, and subsequent plan to bring the day to an uneventful end was seen and overruled by uptight VicJack Inc bosses with their pride hurt at being out-thought by what they perceived as a bunch of dumb tradies.

If I had to choose, I’d go with (2) although (1) can’t be ruled out, sadly.

When it was the only place left they had to go, they did it with respect and acknowledged that the Freedoms The State was now denying us is what Our Fallen Fought For, so it was an apt place to make a stand.

It was always about the new government licence to be in public.

A Lithuanian writes of life with a vaccine passport system in place, looks identical to what NSW, NT, Vic etc are mandating.

This is what your new society looks like in real life.

In my area, outpatient medical facilities require the Covid Pass or certifications. Several days ago, my family was turned away from a medical facility because we did not have the Covid Pass

Large shopping centers have a machine scanner. When people reach the machine, they scan their Opportunity Pass. If the machine flashes a green light and beeps to signal that the Pass is valid, the guard allows that person to enter

Using a scanning app, the inspectors went from person to person to verify that everyone in the restaurant – customers and staff – had a valid Opportunity Pass and matching ID.

It’s the photos in the article that bring it home. This is real, it is dystopian, and it is permanent. Therefore, this is just the beginning of what it is.

I also saw the tweet where some fed-up fascisto-cops agreed with the protesters, saying they were fed up with lockdown too.

They were, of course, just following orders.

And then there were the ones who were sheerly enjoying the opportunity to crush people.
The clip of a woman protester who was part of a crowd running away being chased by a group of cops showed the true nature of some of the pursuers. They pushed her hard while she was running and floored her; she must have been injured by that as well as shocked. They didn’t tackle the men, just a woman whom they could overcome. Hideous behaviour. And it has nothing to do with ‘policing’.

It was sheer thuggery. Of which there were many examples, and while I have seen some footage of violence on the part of a few protesters, it was sporadic, mostly inefectual, and has not been violence of this order, which from what I have seen was an unnecessary cold-revenge stalking violence.

Again, you could not call it ‘policing’ by any stretch of the term.

Palaszczuk demands apology from Hunt as Queensland records one COVID-19 case

The Queensland Premier has demanded an apology from Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt after he revealed yesterday that he had called for an examination of overseas trials of the Pfizer vaccine for young children.

Annastacia Palaszczuk said she had called for a plan for protecting young children weeks ago and had been “attacked” by the federal government.

“I would like an apology from Greg Hunt. I think it is very disappointing that all I’m trying to do is protect this state to protect our children,” Ms Palaszczuk said today.

I too would like to see the risk assessment of vaccine-on-infant action.

Perhaps the moist and lovely Governor General Elect has one she prepared earlier.

I believe there’s a much more benign rationale behind pulling the news choppers.

It’s pretty standard. Its genesis was the siege years ago where a bloke with shooters had barricaded himself in a house somewhere in NSW. There was a news chopper overhead, from which the camera on board was showing wide shots of where the jacks were, and where they were setting up around the house. The bloke inside was also on the phone to Mike Willesee, I think. It all ended badly in any event.

The premise is that the protest organisers will see in real time where the coppers are going to be, where the busloads of jacks are going etc, and react accordingly.

The fact that on this occasion – whether by accident or design – the protesters have no identifiable ‘leadership’ to target, and that they turn up and melt away in different areas, and that on each occasion over the last three days VicJack Inc have still been coming into the final turn when the protesters and home and hosed seems to have escaped them.

Geert Vanden Bossche PhD and his warning to the world against ‘Immune Escape’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9PdZn_Yd5w

Discernable
Geert Vanden Bossche PhD, DVM is an internationally recognised expert in vaccine development. He has acted as global director of a number of vaccine programs around the world, including for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Teaching and working in virology his entire professional life, Geert is raising the alarm over the global vaccination rollout and lockdown methodology which he believes is causative in the immune escape fears being raised by journals such as The Lancet and Science in January/February 2021.

He presents scientific evidence that ‘innate’ immunity is the actual determinant in recovery from and prevention of COVID-19. This is distinct from ‘acquired’ or ‘adaptive’ immunity where pathogenic response in T Cells and B Cells confers a memory upon the immune system. Vaccines work on the ‘adaptive’ immune system, not the ‘innate’ immune system.

His research points to over-zealous infection control procedures, as well as vaccines that do not produce sterilising immunity, as the two key drivers of evolutionary pressure upon Sars-Cov-2 that may result in vaccine-resistant phenotypes of the virus. If correct, this predicts much larger waves of COVID-19 including in younger, previously resistant people. He describes our current actions to combat Sars-Cov-2 as a ‘giant experiment’ and grossly irresponsible on such a global scale”

Circumstances of his departure were confirmed by four union and industry sources speaking anonymously to discuss the relationship between the Health Department and union and employer groups, which one source said had “disintegrated” in the three weeks leading to the shutdown.

They said Mr Parkinson, who declined to comment when contacted by The Age, had expressed his concerns to the government, which caused tension about whether it was tenable for the chair of the council to be at odds with the government that appointed him.

Yesterday’s protestors were corralled at the shrine by police who chased them there after opening fire on them without provocation.

As the protesters were peaceful and picking up their own rubbish while there and ensuring not one threw anything at police the storm troopers knew they were in a pickle as there were independent journalists live streaming.
I watched the entire day unfold by non main stream journalists like Avi, from the very start.

In a shocking display of dishonesty the police to the right of the protesters dropped a knee as they did for the BLM.

This fooled the protesters who were overjoyed and ran toward them with glee.

The stasi then moved forward at the front.

There was a stand off for hours as the police were being filmed and needed to respond to violence that never came.

Eventually they said they would let the protesters go if they left in small groups toward St Kilda rd.

Those that did were arrested.

All was still peaceful so once enough had left they attacked needing vision of “violence” they provoked as soon as the independent media thought it was all over……for use by the MSM.

Amazing to see independent journalists cut their live feed because it was completely peaceful and everyone but a few stragglers had gone home, after watching the entire day through a live feed, to find on turning on the MSM, there had been a violent battle!!!!
The truth is, they started firing on men, women and children.
Unarmed, peaceful, men women and children.

Okay, going out on a bit of a limb here.

I, like many others here, have been watching the protests in Melbourne. Vikplod have reverted to thugs as soon as they are removed from their carefully policed policing roles, and this is an extension of the panic running rampant through the Andrews government.

But I balk at lionising the lads at the CFMEU. It just happens that their cause is mine.

In the normal course of events union members are party to their leadership’s schemes: Locking out non-members from worksites, engaging in go-slows or concocting OHS issues to strong arm the people who are paying them. They have never hesitated in coercion.

Does anyone believe they would be marching and protesting someone else’s rights?

They are like teeth thinking they are the most important part of the body because without them the body would die. So they see themselves as the most important part of the economy.

In this instance they are opposed to vaccine mandates that would see them have to get the jab whether they want to or not. They are further stung by what they see as betrayal by John Setka, and such an act inspires greater anger than the sight of an ordinary declared enemy.

It is tempting to read more into this. The sight of them marching in vast numbers with chants exhorting people to fornicate ‘the jab’ and ‘Dan Andrews’ is consistent with both the scenario where they are protesting on behalf of all Australians and the one where they are protesting for themselves.

In this case I believe they are right. This testifies to the fact that it is not some elevated principle like protecting the right of people to freely preach their horrible creed like Nazis or Communists, but that sovereignty over one’s own body is so basic that even the wukkaz get it.

What would happen if the NSW dispensations were granted to the Victorian construction industry today? Would they all quietly go back to their worksites walking girders, pouring concrete, blocking the pouring of concrete to intimidate the people who stand to lose tens of thousands of dollars each time, etc?

I think that they would not necessarily go back to site, well at least not right away. I think many of them are enjoying their notoriety, even celebrity. They are being hailed as heroes. But that is their enjoyment and they would eventually go back, and if told to do so then all the quicker.

The CFMEU is a powerful union because their members are indispensable. Simply put, building cannot be offshored. Cars can be made elsewhere. Electronics, medicines, clothing – sure. But if somehow high rise buildings and car parks could be manufactured and merely planted on Australian real estate then the CFMEU would be on borrowed time.

But for now I am on the same side as them and will support opposition to vaccine mandates. But on most other issues I would remain implacably opposed. Nor would I counsel anyone to rely too heavily on the lads from the CFMEU as I think they are fundamentally motivated by (a justified) self-interest, but not a public one.

On day three of the Melbourne labor union protests against the brutal COVID lock-downs and forced mRNA genetic experiments, the Victorian government decided to open fire upon the peaceful protestors. The police triggered a ‘no-fly zone’ in the Melbourne metropolitan area to stop media from using their helicopters to record the protests and violent police activity.

So we have shifted straight to Sekta being able to get people sacked if they attend protests.

An unelected “man of the workers” who will not only sell you out for a turn on stairman Dans crooked chode but will blackban your employer unless he sacks you.

If only there was an old 1930’s or so vintage word you could use to describe this sort of behavior.

Building worker sacked, allegedly under union pressure, for attending protest

At least one building worker has already been sacked after attending Monday’s violent protest outside the CFMEU headquarters in Melbourne, and he has accused the construction union of pressuring his employers to lay him off.

So that is an illegal act. No ifs no buts about it.
https://www.fairwork.gov.au/employee-entitlements/protections-at-work#undue-influence-or-pressure

A worker from a CBD construction site who attended Monday’s protests told The Age on condition of anonymity that he was sacked on Tuesday morning. He said he was not opposed to vaccination and had not been violent at the protest.
He said his employer had called him and told him he had no choice but to remove him from the job as the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union had threatened the business with loss of trade if he did not comply. Several other workers had also been laid off for attending, the worker said, which has been confirmed by The Age with third-party sources also speaking on condition of anonymity because they feared for their futures in the industry.

Not only illegal, but also the sort of thing an intelligent 9haha) Liberal party could use to destroy the CFMEU, except they are in bed together.
https://www.sbs.com.au/news/cfmeu-engaged-in-blackmail-extortion

On Wednesday, CFMEU secretary John Setka said anyone involved in the protest “may as well go pick fruit in Mildura somewhere because they will not be working in our industry”.

“We don’t need morons, drunken morons, that think … throwing bottles at people is a good way to protest. They can go somewhere else,” Mr Setka said.

The worker, who is a CFMEU member with 25 years’ experience, said he had left-wing views and had received two COVID-19 vaccinations.
“I went there to support the blokes, to support freedom and to support freedom of choice,” said the worker, who requested anonymity as he feared repercussions.

Soneone just found out his freedom of choice was carefully curated by Mr Sektas mob. He was free to do what they approved. No more.

The CFMEU has supported vaccinations but does not back mandates imposed by employers or the government. Some members argue its stance against mandatory vaccination, which the government imposed last week, has been too weak.

They laid doggo, because nothing says
“worker safely” more than compulsory medical treatments.

The worker said he and his colleagues had become angry on Monday morning after being presented with a proposal to work six hours without break but to be paid for eight. “People have had a gutful,” he said. “We said f— this, we are going to march and get some answers.”

The CFMEU has been working to identify construction workers who attacked its Melbourne headquarters, with Mr Setka telling ABC Breakfast on Wednesday it was trawling through footage on Facebook and other video taken at the protest. “We don’t need people like that. Our industry, we try to make it safe,” he said.

So the ABC has just flat out reported individuals will be identified, targeted and made unemployed by a union boss himself.
But finds this a good thing?

The worker who was sacked said he feared he would be driven out of the industry and unable to support his family. He estimated well over 90 per cent of the crowd when he was there on Monday were building workers. “It was genuine angry workers.”

Not any more mate. You have been labeled as fruit picking neo garage natzis now by no lesser person than the head of the organization protecting your “rights”.

However, Mr Setka on Tuesday described them on radio 3AW as “pigs, drunken morons” and said: “I will not pander to them.

“So you know what, there will be consequences out of this. We are not going to tolerate this. Melbourne doesn’t need this.”

Has Mr setka said anything about the worker who suicided on his closed construction site, or was he distracted by the assault on his dignity??

Mr Setka’s repudiation of the protests won support from Labor leader Anthony Albanese on Wednesday, though he maintained he was right to push the union leader out of the ALP in 2019. Mr Albanese highlighted anger from the CFMEU leadership and other unions such as the nurses over the protests, which included a contingent of construction union members.

Albo, his instinctive blowjobbing of any freedom defiling actions will surely catapult him to the lodge this time? After all why vote for milquetoast tyranny when you can go for the real thing?
….

Some of Monday’s protesters were drawn from Mr Setka’s powerbase in the Croatian community and rely on him for work as part of patronage networks.
Im sorry?
Patronage machine unions, in the 21st century?
Echoes of Tammany Hall.

– A mixed group of people in the protest.
Teachers and nurses present, not just tradies.
– Police behaviour was tempered by the location.
– Rukshan footage is being used by MSM because the crowd are openly hostile to them.

Does anyone believe they would be marching and protesting someone else’s rights?

Mother-lode, all who go out to march have a mixture of reasons for doing so. One doesn’t have to agree with all of these reasons to see value in some of them. One black guy put it well when he said he was sorry he hadn’t joined in any of the protests made earlier, not CFMEU ones. But he was making up for it now. Not sure he was even CFMEU – his accent was unusual, Aussie worker crossed with a hint of educated Indian.

I think the idea of being forced to bodily submit against one’s will was the over-riding thing, and objection to the resultant ‘passport’ that would divide society so badly and unfairly. Plus the fed-upness with the lockdowns. Endless in Victoria. Even some of the cops when spoken to by ordinary workers as ordinary people themselves admitted as much. They didn’t want to do this job.

I am going now to put an uptick on your comment, because it does need to be said.
Admiration of the CFMEU is not widely felt around here. 🙂

[…]
However, regional union secretary John Setka turned a deaf ear to the concerns of his members and would not listen. Angry at his members Setka asked, “What do you want me to do, shut it down?“, meaning use the power of the union -strike if necessary- to push back against the government. The members said “yes”, exactly that. However, union boss Setka was unwilling as it appears he’s in alignment with the objectives of the Premier.

This is a familiar scenario to many, particularly in the United States. Union leadership in bed with government and disconnected from the underlying union workers.
[…]
This corrupt and manipulated system is what generates the flames…. that heats the slow-boiling pot… we are trapped in. Our efforts to fight or push back have been met with even more oppressive approaches by government, media and Big Tech. Yes, the tinderbox in Melbourne Australia is very much in our future….

If we can do it now we can do it under a passport regime. I have several family members who refuse to get vaccinated and yes my family may or may not have, on multiple occasions already breached the lockdown rules.
If we can do it now, then given the extraordinary difficulties that should occur with policing private visiting under a passport regime in a city with a population of five million, we’ll do it in the future too.
