England Ends All COVID Restrictions
[Epoch Times] Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home guidance will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday.

Effective immediately, the UK government is no longer asking people to work from home. The COVID pass mandate for nightclubs and large events won’t be renewed when it expires on Jan. 26.

And from Thursday, indoor mask-wearing will no longer be compulsory anywhere in England. The requirement for secondary school pupils to wear masks during class and in communal areas will also be removed from the Department for Education’s national guidance.

Roaring cheers from lawmakers could be heard in the House of Commons following Johnson’s announcements on masks.

"As COVID becomes endemic, we will need to replace legal requirements with advice and guidance, urging people with the virus to be careful and considerate of others," the prime minister said.

Asked to remove testing rules for vaccinated UK-bound travellers, Johnson said the government is reviewing the testing arrangements on travel and that an announcement can be expected in the coming days.
On the other hand...
But he refused to reconsider the vaccination mandate for frontline health care workers, insisting "the evidence is clear that health care professionals should get vaccinated."

Number 10 received a petition on Monday signed by more than 200,000 people, calling for an end to vaccine passports and similar COVID certifications.

A separate petition calling on the reversal of vaccine mandates for health care workers, which was also delivered to Number 10 on Monday, received about 160,000 signatures.

Governments in Scotland and Wales have also announced the removal of Omicron curbs, but mandatory indoor mask-wearing and COVID passes will remain in place.

#1 Total capitulation. And now it's Emily Litello time.

How quickly will Brandon capitulate in the face of all the evidence that the "vax" didn't work, in fact created at least as damage as good, and that now we're just facing seasonal flu?

Who will pay for all the damage these lying fuckwads did?

#2 ^ There will be no apologies from any of the perpetrators. Definitely no recompense for the damage done. And while there will be places that return to normal, there will be places that will exist in a North Korea / Cuba kind of suspended animation probably for decades. They will say precautions must be kept in place for "next time." And there will be a next time unless some very harsh examples are made. I wouldn't hold my breath.
