Southport’s Revitalise charity Sandpipers - nearly a third of staff opposed compulsory jabs. ‘Medieval’ ownership of person’s body?

 

Southport’s Revitalise charity is a respite centre for people with disabilities. Fears are that it may have to close down when controversial rules, forcing staff to be Covid-19 vaccinated come into play from 11 November.

By this time official diktat demands that care workers across England must be double jabbed unless they are medically exempt. Revitalise said that nearly a third of staff at Southport opposed compulsory jabs.

According to national media reports, a spokesman for the charity, said the policy would lead to a staffing crisis. Over previous weeks reports had indeed been in the national press, warning that England’s care homes may be forced into closure, as the divisive Covid jab deadline looms. 

Basic freedom of choice versus oppressive political decree!

The BBC reported that Chief executive Jan Tregelles said five staff members were refusing to be vaccinated, whilst another seven, who were vaccinated, were "so outraged, they are threatening to resign in protest".

"Without those staff, we may have to close," she said, adding that the site already struggled to have enough workers.

She said staff had "successfully cared for some of society's most vulnerable through rigorous infection control measures and the use of PPE" during the pandemic, "often sacrificing time with loves ones to do so".

"Now, we are having to tell them 'no jab, no job'," she said.

The centre's manager Darren Holloran told the BBC that he believed in "the right to choice and that is what we promote in our building with our guests, the right to freedom of choice and independence".

"It does not stop me from contracting Covid or spreading it to somebody else, It is a personal choice”, he added. 

The UK Tory government previously made thousands of childcare facilities unsustainable, via low funding levels. Care homes now seem to be next on their chopping block! However, brave care home workers fighting this gross injustice are now seeking legal action against this despotic government's 'unlawful' mandatory Covid jab. 

‘Medieval’ ownership of person’s body

Stephen Jackson, solicitor at Jackson Osborne Employment Lawyers acting on behalf of the claimants, has called mandatory vaccination a breach of human rights and has said the new jab rule brings a "medieval" ownership of a person’s body.

Highlighting that the UK has Acts of Parliament and a history of prohibiting mandatory vaccination, Stephen Jackson said: “The Courts have long described the relationship of employer and employee as that of master and servant.

“These regulations attempt to legitimise a system of coercion and to set us back centuries to a time when the master had effective ownership and control over the servant’s body.” 

The Judicial Review is being crowdfunded and funded by freedom of choice campaigner, Simon Dolan. Over £60,000 has been raised to date (14 September).
