Goto or DJ at a Nightclub with a Jab Is It Fair?

0:00 My name is Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor

Alright ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. This video is and also isn't controversial. It's about the you-know-what passports to get into nightclubs. Now I don't do news, I haven't heard much about it, but quote me if I'm right or wrong here, but basically very soon, apparently in the UK, I don't know whether it's the UK or around the world... You're going to have to prove that you've had one of those things injected into you to be able to go into a nightclub. Now, this video is as much me talking about it as you commenting, so I would greatly appreciate your comments. Also, look at other people's comments and comment on their comments. Let's get a good conversation going here.

And let's try and make this video the hub for how we feel in the DJ community about having to potentially have something that some of us may not want to have. Basically, if you don't have it, you can't go into a nightclub. If you do, you can. So what do I think about it? I think, pardon my French, it's fucking disgraceful. That's it. Well, it's not, that's it. But there's a saying, and I've mentioned, I've talked about this before, the people who give up their freedom for safety deserves neither. So what does that mean? Basically, the people who feel as though they need to give up certain freedoms to be safe and secure, you actually then don't deserve to be secure because you're giving up something that is rightfully yours from birth.

Pretty much, which is freedom. The freedom to walk and roam and do whatever you want within reason, within the law. But then again, I'm digressing there because the law is slowly encroaching into your freedoms anyway before your very eyes but you're not doing anything about it. So what we have here now around the world potentially... Here's the system saying, well, you know, we're going to target an age group who like going out to nightclubs. And what we're going to do, we're going to basically put a carrot in front of your nose and say, you know what? If you want the carrot, you've got to go forward. If you want to get inside a nightclub, you've got to show and prove that you've had that thing injected into you. Whereas there may be some people who are adamant they do not want that stuff put inside of them. So there is a dilemma there.

2:41 Nightclub again

A big dilemma. Do they never go to a nightclub again? Or do they start giving the managerial bouncer staff £50 notes and walk in? What's going to happen? Now, why do I think it's wrong? Personally, I think it's wrong. Let's take away everything. Let's just imagine all of a sudden you have to paint your face blue to get into a nightclub. But you don't want to paint your face blue. Why should you have to do that just to go into a nightclub and enjoy yourself? It's wrong. So why should you have to put something inside of you that you don't want to just to go into a room with loads of other people? To me, it doesn't make any sense. Now, I have been this year to a festival called Lakefest and that was in Ledbury at East North Castle.

5:02 Matches, wrong wrong, snip snip

A great festival with thousands of people, approximately, I would say, hazard a guess, about 11-12 thousand people. That is members of staff, entertainers as well as, of course, guests. All age groups. Children, elderly, the whole lot. I saw two people wearing masks. No one else. There were loads of people huddled together, enjoying themselves, having a laugh. So what I would do if I was in charge, I would say to said club owners, OK, here's the deal. You say on the door that you don't have to have said whatever, but if you come into my nightclub, rest assured you are coming in of your own free will and if something does happen to you... It's your own fault. and to place more control over us, to take away our freedom. And I honestly think personally by saying to people who normally frequent nightclubs if you don't have said whatever you can't go into a nightclub is downright disgusting because it's almost making people not have the choice anymore because if you think you've got a choice you haven't

They are goading you into doing something that potentially you don't want to do. And I've been told that apparently a miniscule percentage of people who even get the you-know-what from the age of up to, say, 40, even if you get it, you've got a miniscule chance of dying. Yet, you're now being told you have to have this to get into a nightclub. But I'm going to finish this video off with this. Where's it going to stop? Cinemas, ice hockey matches, football matches, soccer matches, rugby matches, watching the tennis, going to a festival, going to watch a band, going to your local supermarket, taking your children to school. Where is it going to stop? If we do not... Stand up for our rights now and say we're not happy. Then slowly but surely they'll snip, snip and snip away before there's nothing else. So just picture an onion and you take away the layers to find out the middle and you only find out that the middle is really nothing. It's just layers. So in a way that's possibly what they're doing. They're snipping away slowly but surely until eventually there's nothing left.

I'm going to leave it at that, alright? I've tried to be, I suppose, in a way as level-headed as possible and not slam what's going on and not say it's wrong, wrong, wrong or not say it's right, right, right. I'm just giving my own opinion. But what is your opinion? What do you think about it? Have you had said stuff in you and are you quite happy to go to a nightclub? Or have you not had said stuff inside of you? And you want to go to a nightclub, and you don't want it put inside of you because you don't really know what it does to you. What do you think? Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
