MUSIC Hello and welcome to Right Now.
The squeeze is on, the screw is being turned and understandably, people are beginning to feel like the walls are closing in.
Austria has made the shot mandatory.
Germany is following suit.
The Dutch police are firing rubber bullets at protesters.
Australia is carting people off to quarantine camps.
No jab, no job is now the norm across the planet.
A lockdown of the unvaccinated is rolling off the forked tongues of all the Klaus Schwab-worshipping lapdog media mouthpieces.
On the daily now.
But these actions are not coming from a position of power.
They're coming from a position of desperation.
These are not the actions of someone that believes they're winning.
Australian politician Michael Gunner went on a rant this week saying that it doesn't matter if you're jabbed or not.
If you don't support the mandate, you're an anti-vaxxer.
Now watch this and tell me this man isn't rattled.
I swear he's about to cry.
If you are anti-mandate, you are absolutely anti-vaxx.
I don't care what your personal vaccination status is.
If you support, champion, give a green light, give comfort to, support anybody who argues against the vaccine, you are an anti-vaxxer.
Absolutely. And if you are out there in any way, shape or form campaigning against this mandate, you are absolutely anti-vaxx.
Say, pro-persuasion.
Stuff it. Shove it.
We are absolutely going to make sure as many territories as possible are vaccinated.
That is our best protection against this thing.
As you look at the Doty model, it's only come out since, that says we have to double dose 80 in remote communities, five and up.
I think you'll see our vaccine mandate is absolutely crucial to protecting lives, particularly Aboriginal life.
And I will never back away from supporting vaccines.
And anyone out there who comes for the mandate, you are anti-vax.
State of it. Maybe he knows what will happen to him if he disappoints his masters.
The cult is on the ropes. It's lashing out like a wounded animal.
A petulant child who's just been refused sweets at the checkout.
The writing is on the wall.
It's a matter of when they fall, not if.
They want you to believe that you're alone and that you're helpless.
You're not. We're not.
Stand firm.
Anna Redfern, she runs an independent cinema in Swansea, Wales.
When the Welsh government extended its Vax passport scheme to cinemas, she said no.
Anyone was welcome in her venue, no matter what their jabbed status.
Last week, the council closed her down.
She immediately reopened and says she's had support from thousands of people around the world.
She joins us now. Anna, welcome to Right Now.
It's a very brave thing you've done.
What made you stand up?
I've just had enough of complying out of fear and yeah it's just I've really felt that there's nothing to look forward to and we're having our rights taken away from us and yes I guess I'm making this stand as a human being, as a mother but yeah most of all to make sure our children have their freedom What's the reaction been like?
I can imagine it's been crazy for the last week or so.
Yeah, life has been incredibly surreal since, but what gives me the strength To keep going with this is the thousands of messages we're receiving, not just from this country.
We're getting them from all over the world and from Australia, Italy, Thailand, Iceland, Norway, America.
Yes, it's incredible and also from people from all walks of life are sending us messages of support.
So surgeons, NHS, Workers, parents, the elderly.
Yes, from all walks of life.
So it's been really heartwarming and it just shows the extent of people's fear, I suppose, because those messages have been sent privately.
And yeah, when you voice your opinion publicly like I had done, What's happened to me recently is a good example of why people are scared to speak up.
It is strange, isn't it, to think that all you're doing is you're standing up and saying segregation and medical apartheid is wrong, and that that is seen as some kind of revolutionary act.
It's extraordinary to me.
How has it affected your business?
Oh, it's really, well, Because my staff have been traumatized by the attempted closure of the Council.
Yes, well before I made this announcement, we were really struggling to get bums on seats and Yes, especially the film industry that really suffered as a result of lockdown.
Also, you know, we provide so many events for the community and so many kids have got birthday parties with us.
But yes, since making that announcement we've had quite a few cancellations because they think that we're closed when we're not.
So yes, we've had events have been moved to other venues as well because the council's unlawful attempted closure has scared people off.
But on the flip side of that, we've got, yes, we've got support from all over the country.
Like we've just had visitors come from Dublin to show their support.
We've had people driving from Cardiff, Yorkshire.
Yes, all over the country.
So that's been really nice.
We've had such a vibrant, diverse mix of people here.
And yes, the coffee shop's really thriving as a result.
That's fantastic. There's been a crowdfunding campaign to help you out as well.
That must be heartening for you to see people doing things like that.
Yes, that was incredible.
And yes, I can't believe how much has been raised, but it wasn't set up by me.
And to be honest, I only recently had a chance to think about what I could do with that money.
Yes, I want to empower and educate other businesses to stand their ground.
So we're going to curate a program of independently made films in January to disseminate this.
And yes, and we want also for those that have missed out on their right to access culture, so all the minority groups in the local community, we'd like to enable them to access that right.
That's fantastic. What did the council actually say to you?
Because obviously people say stuff all over social media and things can kind of go off on little tangents and you never really get down to the actual original point.
When you said, you know what, I'm not locking down, I'm not going to segregate, it's not happening.
What did they then say to you?
Well, they didn't say anything until they turned up on Beaujolais Day.
Have you heard of Beaujolais Day?
I haven't, no. OK, it's a celebration that only takes place in Zilli and parts of Essex, I believe, and it's to celebrate the harvest of the new wine.
The irony is nobody drinks chalet on this day, but everybody goes out from breakfast time to night.
I was very drunk and yeah, so we were in the midst of this and we were showing with Nail and I as an anti-Beaujolais day, I suppose, and we had only sold five or six pallets because our seats were made out of pallets.
And yeah, so they turned up when we weren't even open.
And yeah, and slap to closure notice on us unlawfully.
And yes, and the hypocrisy of it all is that Wine Street, which is a popular watering hole, is full, just crammed full of people really drunk and having a good time.
And then there's my cinema that's struggling to get bums on seats that gets closed down.
Do you feel like they try and bully people and make people frightened by making an example of people?
And obviously that's backfired with trying to make an example of you, because you're not having it, which is amazing.
But what I was asking was, what do you think this whole thing is about?
Because you were obviously looking at it, it's like, this is crazy, you're trying to segregate society.
You know, that's clearly wrong.
But yeah, that's the agenda, and it seems to be the agenda everywhere.
What do you think it's about? Well, I don't think it's about health anymore.
Or was it ever about health?
You know, it just seems to me to be about control and taking our rights off us.
You know, we have a right to make these decisions for ourselves.
It's like we don't, the government don't trust us to make these decisions for ourselves.
And yeah, we're just getting stripped of our rights and it's just, It's absurd and the restrictions and especially is a multi-faceted business like my own.
So we're a cafe, we're a cinema, we're a live music venue and yeah, so the guidance are different depending what hat we're wearing and all the systems are just so open to abuse as well.
Especially the Covid passport system, you know, Check the phones properly.
People are sharing screenshots of their Covid passports.
It's just totalitarianism gone mad, it seems.
Absolutely. And it seems especially with venues like yourself, they just don't want people congregating.
They don't want people having a conversation where maybe they can compare their own life experience and sort of come to a different conclusion.
But thank you so much for joining us.
We really appreciate it. And thanks for fighting back, because it's amazing.
When I saw it on social media, I was like punching the air, like get in.
This is what we need people to stand up against this.
Yes, honestly, the amount of private messages we've had and, of course, the online support as well.
You know, it's from friends, family, just other human beings, I suppose.
So yes, I really feel as if I'm Talking for the silent majority and I hope I give them hope and courage to stand up for themselves as well.
Oh, you are. And you're on the right side of history, that's for sure.
But thank you very much for joining us.
Really appreciate you taking the time because I'm sure it is chaotic at the minute for you.
Yes, to say the least.
Thank you. All right.
