PA – Oct 20, 2020
Local politicians have reacted angrily to the “spiteful, vindictive and nasty” way Tier 3 coronavirus restrictions are being introduced in Greater Manchester.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed that harsher rules would come into effect in the region from the early hours of Friday, in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus, with £22 million of support for local authorities.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said attempts to strike a deal collapsed after the Government refused to meet his demand for £65m to support the livelihoods of people in the region as they face the closure of pubs, bars, bookmakers and other premises.
The Government is yet to confirm if there will be any extra cash for businesses, which provoked anger from Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell.
It’s an utter disgrace that businesses and workers in GM won’t get an extra penny from government to support them in Tier 3.
Andy is right: it’s utter spite.
The idea of all in this together has been totally shattered this week.— Lucy Powell MP (@LucyMPowell) October 20, 2020
She said: “It’s an utter disgrace that businesses and workers in GM won’t get an extra penny from government to support them in Tier 3.
“Andy is right: it’s utter spite.
“The idea of all in this together has been totally shattered this week.”
Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner was similarly enraged, and called the lockdown news “disgraceful” and “a punishment”.
She said: “Greater Manchester been badly let down by the PM and his cronies in govt.
“Spiteful, Vindictive and Nasty, so many will now suffer great hardship, it will be the ones again who can least take it.”
Disgraceful , a punishment nothing else, Greater Manchester been badly let down by the PM and his cronies in govt. Spiteful, Vindictive and Nasty, so many will now suffer great hardship, it will be the ones again who can least take it. Tories really do not care about the North. https://t.co/MFs6Ud1mBQ

She had said earlier: “The Government have failed us in Gtr Mcr and we won’t forget it.”
“Andy Burnham is right to stand up to protect our communities.”
Ms Rayner is the MP for Ashton-under-Lyne which will now also be moved into the Tier 3 category
Mr Burnham spoke to reporters in Manchester minutes shortly beore the Prime Ministers Downing Street address, and was informed of the £22m figure when shown on a phone.
The shadow foreign secretary called the incident “disgraceful”.
Lisa Nandy, MP for Wigan tweeted: “In 10 years in Parliament I’ve never seen anything like this.
“MPs are on a call with the Health Secretary being told Greater Manchester is getting only £22m while our mayor is at a press conference being told by the media.
“This is bad faith, it’s immoral – just disgraceful.”
She added: “I grew up under Thatcher but I’ve honestly never seen anything like this.”
The north has to rebel and if elected leaders refuse to defy the government then we must appoint leaders who will. There will be unrest but to be effective it must be led, it must have direction and aims, otherwise they’re isolated actions that can be dismissed as violence.
Don’t just block roads, block roads that stop the police or army being deployed by truck. Take the initiative to send the police and army to wherever you want them, away from where they want to go. But don’t engage them. Once they’ve spent time and effort getting there, disperse. Develop tactics that move them around. Spread false rumour about future actions; post leaflets about future actions that won’t really take place; move those under surveillance around to raise false suspicions about future actions. WE can deploy them.
Kier Starmer has had every opportunity to challenge the massive lying that goes on concealing this biggest hoax in history. What is being presented in Parliament as “science” is a bare-faced lie and anyone with a brain and conscience knows it, it’s not too hard to find. Choosing to focus only on maladministration issues proves who he is and what he represents and that goes for all his fellow apologists in both government and media.
I’m truly getting confused with all this newspeak doublethink “five tier, circuit breaker, etc,etc”
I’m doublepluswise cofused. Please somebody help me before they take me off to room 101. honest guv 2+2=5 , no,no,no not room 101, I will learn the newspeak, I am not an unperson.
Complaining, complaining and more complaining….
That’s it really with these people. We can clearly see that politics is a closed shop. The government does what the government wants to do. It’s jumping to the command of Gates and the WHO and happily obliterating it country.
And people, really, are so incredibly stupid, they don’t even bother to question “where is all this money coming from?” and of course “if no one’s really working and businesses are closing down globally, is there not going to be a food crisis?”
I think the US election will be D-Day. I think this is when they’re going to raise the draconian levels up, quite a few notches.
Notice how not one of these politicians are actually questioning the legitimacy of covid statistics and presenting information, readily available on the internet, of doctors speaking out, all over the world calling out this covid BS?
Yup, not one. All are just dancing to the piper.
When, the fuck, are people going to wake up and realise that these local MP’s are about as useful as tits on a bull? When are they going to realise these politicians are the problem and not the solution? When are they going to start saying no, uniting behind one another and breaking all lockdowns? “But the police will come and arrest us?” And you go to help those people, whom the police want to arrest. After all, when you turn up, heavy handed, overpower the police, handcuff them with their own handcuffs and let them know that they have no authority over you, they’ll soon get the message.
This might well prove to be Bojo’s undoing. I hope so. This sleezy, breezy, unprincipled git is not fit to be the British PM. I trust that the 1922 Committee will deal with him accordingly.
Mr Andy Burnham: Congratulations, well done! You are a true Brit, and true Northerner. Bless you.
Governments have turned rogue in many places, have turned against their citizens, view citizens as the enemy to be abused and robbed and threatened at every turn. Excessive taxation with no representation. Your government has declared war and YOU are their enemy.
Sorry Sophie Johnson, but if Andy Burnham was a true Northerner he would be against any sort of lockdown and be telling the people of Manchester to open up all businesses and get back to work. He is only interested in getting money off the Government for his own political ends and be a hopefull leader of one of the new City States which are being instigated.
I hope I am wrong, but don’t hold your breath.
Yahoo News UK is now reporting there’s a new anti-Semitic conspiracy theory going round. This theory is not new to us here and claims Covid-19 is a plot by the Jews to take over the world, but if the media feel forced to mention this it means this theory is gaining ground and it’s of concern to them. They wouldn’t mention it at all if it was just an underground opinion so it suggests this is now mainstream thought. They don’t usually give the numbers away but they’ve let something slip with this one.
Burnham is no hero he’s grandstanding. if he was genuine he would advise the people to stay open. keep working because if they do not take a stand now they will be left with nothing the liverpool gym owners have shown the way it can be done. being saying for months(like so many other people) just stop complying with these traitors. there might be short time pain fines etc but the alternative will be far worse, as someone said above not one mp in the uk has even really questioned this whole scam that in itself tells you all you need to know about them
The real problem is the total ignorance of the general public who mostly get all their news off mainstream TV . Most people who read articles like this are the one in a hundred kind of people who search for truth.
I am in New Zealand where according to the ‘Guardian ‘ not one case of flu has been diagnosed by doctors since Covid19 scaremongering started . Everyone silly enough to run to the doctor when they’re feeling fluey is counted as covid19. They believe that our Prime Minister has saved the country through her lockdown, and seem to worship the ground she walks on.
As long as most people remain cowardly and apathetic about the truth we have a great battle for our lives and freedoms.
Yep. Bring on the revolution. End the union. Northern England sounds good . Draw the line from Bristol to the Wash.
There is no politician on this planet that cares about their constituents they only care about themselves.
I do believe that Manchester and around that area has been used as a scapegoat’s to frighten the rest of us into compliance but then when the people from that area are interviewed by the roving journalists some will say we must do what the government tell us we must obey. One almost wants to see the worst happen to teach the bloody lot of fools a lesson. The lock me down save me save me brigade are well and truly alive at the moment and are literally digging all our graves for us. It wont change I have family who won’t listen to my take on what is going on all I get is there is a pandemic out there and people like you just make it worse with your conspiracy theories. They see Bumbling Boris on his TV podium and say poor man he is trying his best to make everyone see sense and wear their mask and keep their distance and I just sit and sigh because I know what’s coming and I wonder what they will say when all is outed but, I wont hold my breath that they will change and I don’t know how they cannot see that their lives will never be the same again. Its mind boggling, frustrating and frightening that my life is in the hands of all these Covidiots.
The Allies that died fighting fascism in WWII wasted their lives.
“My father knew Lloyd George, Lloyd George knew my father”
So runs the old song but my father did know Lloyd George
who was British Prime Minister from 1916 to 1922
He was a Welsh Baptist opposed to the war on Germany
and at Passchendale which was a huge blood bath for little gain to anyone
brought about his oratorial fury and was laced with pure venom with Earl Marshall Haig who wanted the Military push.
After W W 1 Lloyd George was constantly accused of being pro-German as he was against the harshness of the Versailles treaty where Germany had its wealth stolen by the allies.
As the climate was building for W W 2 Lloyd George did not want to witness another major slaughter and actually admired Adolf Hitlers bringing Germany out of the world depression into prosperity, by means of coming out of the Rothschild international financial stranglehold, and starting Germanies own monetary system under National Socialism.
When Rothschild put his protege Winston Churchill into power for another war on Germany
Winston wanting to capitalise on Lloyd Georges popularity, but Lloyd George refused to serve in any cabinet with Winston Churchill.
His opposition to war meant he was a constant target of smear tactics by the Jews, being a womaniser they constantly put women in his path , Rufus Isaacs set him up to buy stocks in Marconi who were just about to take a big contract, in spite of this he later served as legal advisor to Theodor Herzl to rehome the Jews in Uganda, as Turkey refused to have them in Palestine, Germany wanted to rehome them in Madagaskar, which Rothschild refused point blank.
Lloyd Georges letters to my father discussed all this and the fact that they both believed Lawrence of Arabia was murdered as he was used by the British to pass false information to the Arabs as was Dr David Kelly.
Yes my father knew Lloyd George.
