Speaking at today's anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine protest in Parliament Square, retired police officer Mark Sexton says if all Covid restrictions are not lifted and vaccinations are not ceased, citizens have a right to arrest ministers and MPs by force and set up common law courts.

Former nurse and anti-vaccine activist Kate Shemirani says Covid vaccines are "bioweapons" and "surveilance systems" with an "electrical charge" that can transmit and receive signals from 5G towers. She adds people who have been vaccinated will likely die "within two years".

There was also a protest against "Satanic ritual abuse" on Westminster Bridge. Leader Jeanette Archer falsely said there are "160 MPs on the padeophile sex offenders register" who drink children's blood. Anti-5G activists Steele brothers chanted against "paedo scum" in parliament

1. Does that 5G come in pill form or syringe?

Does that 5G come in pill form or syringe?

Must be some good shtuff.

21. The chips are apparently tiny enough to fit in a needle

there's a global chip shortage don't you know. Plenty of salsa and guacamole though.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Also, They're Obviously Clear

Because we can't see them in purified saline.
And, they can't be too small to see. There's multiple shots in the vial. So, "deep state" medical professionals have to able to get one in every shot. Obviously, they're using special contact lenses developed from alien technology to see the clear chips.
Boy, this conspiracy stuff is simple!!

[moondust]

2. Publicity hounds or mass insanity?

Both? Why aren't they attacking all the previous vaccines for polio, smallpox, etc.? Simply because those have been around for more than two years and they don't know anybody who has died from them?

I'm not aware of any political propaganda TV or radio in the U.K. or Europe like Fox, OAN, etc. But there may be some. ??? Of course they do have the Internet to spread this stuff.

[NQAS]

3. I thought this was Freedom Day

Aren't all restrictions lifted?

You know, sometimes I think that should be the course of action worldwide in countries with large anti-vax movement. Lift all restrictions. Don't compel vaccines. No masks. No social distancing. If you want a vaccine, you be able to easily get one, but if you don't, skip it. And all other precautions. And then let the bodies fall where they may. Let survival of the fittest begin. Hospitals overwhelmed? So be it. People dying. Well, okay. Superspreader events? Attend if you want, and if you die, well, you die.

If they want to remain anti-vax, that's their right. If they regret their decisions on their death beds, that's also their right.

Some may see this as giving in to the anti-vaxers. Maybe. Don't care. I'm tired of the the gnashing of teeth, the arguments with morons. If they want to die, let 'em.

Some conditions.

If you've chosen to skip the vaccine, hospitals reserve the right to withhold treatment or provide only minimal services. Priority for all medical services for vaccinated people.

Air, bus, and train travel permitted only with evidence of vaccination.

Private venues can do what they want, and consumers can decide whether to patronize based on those policies. If the unvaccinated die, so be it. If vaccinated people risk it, well, so be that also.

And I'm being only partly serious.

33. There is a

part of me that tends to agree with what you've written. And it makes me sad. I try to remember the dignity and worth of all ... and sometimes (often times) fail.

[Celerity]

4. Putin has literally been laughing his ass off for the last 5 years (at least).

The giants of Western Democracy being ripped apart in large measure due to social media, and in that pantheon, the leading dark light is a firm started by an asshole in his 2003 Harvard dorm room.

[Initech]

5. Look, we're all sick and tired of this.

But these morons can go fuck themselves with a rusty bayonet.

[PJMcK]

6. The insanity arrived in England some time ago

Two examples of the Brits losing their minds:

1. Brexit

2. Boris Johnson

[lindysalsagal]

7. This percentage of the population may have existed quietly at home before TFG and covid, but

now they're organized and acting as a lightening rod for the marginal cases.

It's all a psychological reward system. Possibly, social media and TV addiction have prepared people to be vulnerable to this group paranoia. I don't know.

We have far more "loose teeth in our jaw" than we previously suspected. (I just made that up.)

[lindysalsagal]

8. A few of us are discussing the psychological underpinnings of conspiracy theories here:

9. I'm surprised the 5G conspiracies haven't taken hold as strongly in the US as in Britain.

[Renew Deal]

10. How do I access my 5G upgrade?

And what happens when 6G comes along?

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. Let Doctor Who answer that

[Grokenstein]

24. Is that from a parody?

I've seen some weird stuff on Doctor Who but never an obese Cyberman.

[muriel_volestrangler]

27. Not as far as I know

It might just be blurring from motion between 2 frames. I just used it because it had the caption.

[Grokenstein]

29. *peers closely* Oh, ha ha ha!

Grandpa needs to get his eyes checked! (Again.) I didn't realize the Cyberman on the left was actually standing in front of another one. I thought that was all one guy. Yeeesh.

[Klaralven]

11. Quite a high percentage of the nuttier online anti-Covid vax videos are by people with Brit accents

They appear to be as emotional about it as the US videos.

OTOH, the Germans and Dutch at least feign rational argument.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. They are as Bat S crazy as anyone over here. But..NO AR-15's. I'd rather be there for that reason.

[GoCubsGo]

14. It arrived there a long time ago.

How do you think they wound up with Trump, Jr. as their Prime Minister, or why they voted for "BREXIT"? Putin and his ilk have been propagandizing the Brits as long as they have GOPers jejre.

[pazzyanne]

15. ...

[oasis]

16. Just another basket of deplorable nutty mofos. nt

[calimary]

17. No kidding! Another pandemic in the works I guess.

[oasis]

20. Level 4 Covid-19 in the UK. Very high. nt

[LudwigPastorius]

18. Maybe we really SHOULD be keeping tabs on...

those stupid enough to believe shit like this.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. there have always been anti vaxxers around . " i dont want my kid to take this stuff".

but this has gone beyon insane.

[Ilsa]

22. We need a registry of medical professionals who

spew this crap. This way we can prevent them from taking care of us and those we love.

[Politicub]

23. The crazy has been brewing there for a while.

There's a through line one can draw from Thatcher through Brexit and onward, and the anti-vax idiots are just another stop on the crazy train.

These satanic panics have the potential to be somewhat entertaining, but they're usually just boring and aggravating.

I have to give this one an F- because it's a rehash of prior material from the U.S.

[Warpy]

25. I have a great deal of sympathy for the anti lockdown people

I don't think lockdowns are particularly necessary, not with people getting vaccinated. Yrs, there have been breakthrough infections and some of them are severe enough that people have gotten tested, but as a rule, they are not serious enough for hospitalization, only quarantine until the fever stays down for 48 hours.

The genie is out of the bottle and so many people are still going to have to go to work to keep the water flowing, the lights on, and food available that it is most likely unstoppable. The best way to slow it down is vaccination and the best way to do that at this point is outreach programs to overcome apathy and complacence.

That leads me to the other group, the antivaxers. Sorry, the milk of human kindness has gone sour in their case, perhaps getting sick enough will take them and their nonsense out of wide circulation for the short term, and that will definitely help. Nope, no sympathy for them, sorry, the increasingly hysterical claims tell me that they know they're lying, they're in it for the lulz or the feeling of power. They can just piss right off.

[Withywindle]

26. Am I not using the 5G properly?

We had an internet outage due to storms a couple weeks ago, and I was not able to use my own body as a Wifi hotspot like I was told I could after the vaccine. Had to resort to using my phone like a primitive Luddite.

Also the magnetization isn't working either. I was promised that I'd never lose my keys again.

I would like to complain to a manager.

[Delphinus]

34. Hehehe ...

[IcyPeas]

28. they recently launched GB News. Right wing opinion shows..... sound familiar?

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/jun/19/gb-news-will-flourish-if-the-success-of-partisan-rightwing-tv-in-australia-is-any-guide

It is probably fair to say that GB News, the UK’s new conservative TV channel, has launched to a somewhat mixed reception.

The Telegraph derided the content as “unutterably awful; boring, repetitive and cheapskate”. Others criticised its claims of being “anti-woke” and unbiased as simply bias in another direction.

Still more have pointed to the age of the presenters, wondered aloud why any young person would tune in, and predicted its swift demise. After all, Britain is not ready for a rightwing TV channel.

But those looking in from afar – specifically Australia – are warning not to underestimate it and its leader.

And they predict that ultimately the channel will blossom like the rightwing, Murdoch-run Sky News Australia, where the GB News chief executive, Angelos Frangopoulos, made his name.

[Delphinus]

31. Oh my ...

This kind of stupid makes my head hurt.

[roamer65]

32. 🦠

I can fix stupid.

Delta.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

35. They're my ancestral peeps, but...

... they sure seem to be among the worst in this country too -- i.e., after I compared maps of the unvaccinated and the places where US citizens identified themselves as English descendants.

Well, except within the upper NE USA.



This country received a bunch of the English outcasts especially in the South, though, as convicts and such.

36. Trump is a contagion. nt
