The screens read 'get boosted now' and have official government and NHS branding logos on them.
The messages appear on a monitor that is being carried around on the shoulders of those carrying them.

The Memorial Human Rights Center was ordered to close by a Moscow court on Wednesday for not marking all of its publications with a "foreign agent" label. The Kremlin has forced the designation on media outlets and nongovernmental organizations the state claims receive funding from abroad.
Comment: The organisations have the US to thank, because it was America that forced Russian organisations to register as 'foreign agents', and Russia responded by enforcing the same requirements.
A lawyer from Memorial told the AFP news agency before the judge's decision was announced that "it's obvious" Russia will move to shut down the Memorial Human Rights Center.
Comment: It perhaps is "obvious" that organisations repeatedly breaking the law will eventually be shut down. Why didn't they declare their foreign agent status as Russian organisations working in the West are required to do? What do they have to hide?
Comment: The US is known to use groups like this in its attempts to destablise society and incite regime change, and Russia has become increasingly less tolerant of groups being used as cover to further these aims:
- "Just like in Ukraine and Belarus": TikTok condemned by Russian parents association over calls for youth to attend Navalny protests
- Germany cracks down: 20 arrested in raid on banned Salafist group, 8 arrested in raid on far right group
- Hungary passes 'Stop Soros' law banning NGOs from providing benefits to illegal immigrants
- Cleaning house: Russia bans another US backed NGO

That reasoning enraged many Americans who have long argued that exact sentiment and wondered how long this fact has been known by the medical establishment.
On ABC News' "Good Morning America," Walensky stated Wednesday morning that the PCR tests can show positive cases for as long as three months.
Comment: The WHO admitted this fact literally a year ago. The CDC is obviously a little slow on the uptake (deliberately so, undoubtedly).

The fire occurred as protests for indigenous rights ramped up in the capital city of Canberra
No-one was injured in the fire, which engulfed the Old Parliament House's front doors before it was put out.
It follows a fortnight of protest activity at the site, police said.
Protest violence on this scale is rare in Australia, but flare-ups have become more common during the pandemic.
Comment: These kinds of incidents only really serve the establishment by providing them with an excuse to further tighten the screws on people's right to protest. However, if it is true that these protesters did start the fire, it may be a sign of an uptick in the discontent people are feeling towards the authorities. Which is perhaps not so surprising, considering that certain regions of Australia have had some of the most crushing lockdown restrictions on the planet:

Maxwell, who turned 60 on Christmas, pleaded not guilty to the charges stemming from her interactions with four teenage girls from 1994 to 2004. During that span, Maxwell was romantically involved with and then later worked for Epstein.
She faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison on the counts that she was convicted of.
Comment: Maxwell should burn, but she's just the tip of the iceberg. She's being thrown to the lions because the crowd is demanding blood, but none of the guilty people higher up the ladder are going to see the inside of a courtroom. At least it's a small victory.

Replacing resident conservative Meghan McCain has not been an easy task for producers of The View. The show has been on the hunt for a new panelist since McCain announced her departure in July.
Since then, a number of candidates have been contacted, but to no avail. Among them was Lisa Marie Boothe from Fox News. According to The Daily Beast, Boothe sat down with executives from ABC and The View, but the conversation ended when the issue of vaccination came up.

The Washington Post reported Monday that in light of an abortion case that was recently argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that has the potential to change abortion legal precedent in the country, there has been an uptick in social activity suggesting that vasectomies are a way men can show solidarity.
The case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which was argued in early December and centered on the legality of Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban, will likely determine whether Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that found abortion is a constitutional right guaranteed under the 14th Amendment, will continue to stand.

The case gained attention among First Amendment and press freedom advocates after a trial judge sided with Project Veritas last week and ordered the publication to return physical copies of the memos and destroy its electronic copies.
"This ruling should raise alarms not just for advocates of press freedoms but for anyone concerned about the dangers of government overreach into what the public can and cannot know," A.G. Sulzberger, publisher of the Times, said in a statement last week after the order was announced.
Comment: This article is rather one-sided and leaves out important context. It's being spun like it's a 'freedom of the press' issue, when really its about the NYT getting confidential information through DOJ after they raided Veritas employees homes and businesses on questionable grounds; information the NYT aren't legally allowed access to. Overall, it seems like a vengeance move on the part of the NYT after Project Veritas sued them for defamation and won. And we all know how the DOJ feels about whistleblowers. If you were ever in doubt that the corporate press is nothing but a mouthpiece for the state, here's your proof.

A review of England's care system has found that the safeguarding system is "unfit for purpose" and is in urgent need of being reformed, as it is putting teenagers in a "bleak" position where they are at risk of exploitation.
The Commission on Young Lives report, released on Wednesday, found that the existing care system is "infuriatingly inadequate" due to a shortage of accommodation, failure to identify exploitation, and cuts to funding.
It also claimed that the English care system is flawed in that it moves young people from their local areas to unregulated accommodation targeted by criminals.
The report even alleged that criminal gangs have been informed by local authorities that vulnerable teenagers were recently moved to an area, leaving them at risk of exploitation.
Comment: The care system is flawed by design. It is meant to be like that. The whole care system is designed to fit the needs of the sick, psychopathic and pedophilic creatures around us; not to protect the children within it.

Comment: We live in a clown world! The government and the NHS are pushing the 'Get boosted now' message hard! On boxing day text messages were sent out to people in the UK strongly urging them to get the booster shot, although the message drew ire and ridicule on social media from some:
Newspapers and advertising stands were also flooded with the message:
