NO SINGING, NO DANCING AND NO LOUD MUSIC – NEW CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS COME INTO FORCE ON WEDNESDAY

NO SINGING, NO DANCING AND NO LOUD MUSIC – NEW CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS COME INTO FORCE ON WEDNESDAY
Share on FacebookShare on X

New coronavirus regulations coming into effect tomorrow (Wednesday) will see customers of pubs and bars banned from dancing to loud music.

The Obligations of Hospitality Undertakings section of the regulations were amended to include that public houses, cafés, restaurants and bars have a legal duty to prevent dancing on their premises – regardless of whether the dancers are alone or in a group.

Singing is also banned, but only if you’re in a group of more than 6 customers.

Article continues below this advertisement

The changes also include the banning of playing recorded music which exceeds 85 decibels at the source. That’s roughly as loud as a vacuum cleaner or kitchen blender.

To confuse matters, live music performances aren’t capped at 85 decibels; they’re exempt from the law.

Are you comfortable that they won’t mandate the vaccine? Even indirectly? I’m not. I’m not frightened of the virus. I am frightened of this Govt. I do not trust the advisors to Govt to act in our interests, rather than those of their backers.

With those lovely ingredients in it, that they fail to tell you…MRC-5…enjoy your vaccine 🙂
“The MRC-5 cell line was developed in September 1966 from lung tissue taken from a 14 week fetus aborted for psychiatric reason from a 27 year old physically healthy woman. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. The karyotype is 46,XY; normal diploid male. Cumulative population doublings to senescence is 42-48. G6PD isoenzyme is type B.”

Like the pied piper…we are all being led on a merry dance. ‘Allowing for heterogeneity reduces the estimate of “counterfactual” deaths that would have occurred if there had been no interventions from 3.2 million to 262,000. Slowing and reversal of COVID-19 mortality is explained by the build-up of herd immunity.’

The Gov will ‘use’ this to ban cash, and limit drinking, as they have allowed in so many troublesome beings that crime is out of control and they will ‘use’ CV to curtail life as we once knew it, because of their failed imported labour experiment.
 
Now we have more people than jobs, and as the former will increase in number, the latter decrease, we have a serious problem which ‘time’ will make even worse.

Banning solo dancers? I’d like to see how they justify that piece of legislation in a court of international law, especially given the arbitrary nature of the rules and the contradictory exemptions.
 
You can’t introduce blanket legislation that suppress fundamental human rights just because it is more convenient or we’d all be locked up on the excuse that some of us might be serial killers or drug dealers.
 
When even half a sausage Bob is questioning government policy then you know they’ve crossed a line.

It states “singing is also banned, but only if you’re in a group of more than 6 customers.” So a household of 6 can sing but a household over 6 cannot that’s clear then

Young people are at a statistical risk from this virus of close to zero. They are more likely to die ffrom accidents. How dare you have the arrogance to strip them of their freedom and the pursuit of happiness. How dare you…this pathetic Government will be held accountable !!!

Strip them of their freedom and the pursuit of happiness! You don’t understand anything about this situation do you? Say that to someone that has been working on an Intensive Care Ward. Perhaps you haven’t the brains to work out that the virus travels from person to person, regardless of age, and then someone will die or suffer long term symptoms. Yes, and there will be loads of people it will hardly effect and youngsters may well get off lightly but that isn’t the point. This Government has made loads of mistakes but I don’t see that any other would have done any better. You need to take your head out of your backside and use it to think with. “Real Islander” , I don’t think so, my family goes back generations and you don’t speak for me.

Hey Simon. I have indeed talked to 3 intensive care nurses in London who have dealt directly with Covid-19 ‘patients’ in 3 different hospitals. All of them say they do not understand the actions from the government and none of it makes any sense as hospitals are generally empty.
 
As for your second point, I do suggest you look at Sweden as a good example of a rational response to something which is far from mortal to over 95% of society.
 
It is understandable you follow what the government and their mainstream media says, but please have a deeper look. None of this makes any sense.
 
Best of luck!

Best decision you could make…during the Spanish flu everyone knew it was there as you could see it…without the news/tv you would not know about covid…funny that.

We are looking at the biggest global scam in human history and they can pull it off because of a pathetic government echo-chamber media (including this site) and the long-programmed inability of vast numbers of the world population to conjure a single original thought that has not come from somewhere else – i.e. authority and its echo-chamber media. Good to see that many comments here have seen through the tidal wave of systematic mendacity.The only power that will stop the ever-gathering roll-out of fascism is the power of NO. In the absence of that on a mass scale fascism is the future – made possible by ‘yessir’ minds and criminally-complicit excuses for ‘journalists’.
