Good on them - are people not falling for this nonsense again?Went to home bargains today and probably 10% had masks on.
Why would the government want to control "everything"? What advantages would the Covid "policies" bring the government?Good on them - are people not falling for this nonsense again?
All seems coordinated. We hear it is mild which is a brilliant thing, means it's mutating into the endemic virus we want it to mutate into where it's harmless to the majority (even common colds kill the elderly sadly), but media and government won't ever allow that because it means normal life and no control over everything.
I think governments world over wish to do this yearly or wish to keep a lot of these authoritarian policies in place. I worked in politics - a lot is about power and also using social media and Twitter crazies as a barometer of public opinion. They are into their power and nothing else, as are the health bureaucrats.
Didn't cancel my flight to Heathrow but my finger's essentially on the 'cancel flight' button :-(
Here in the US I don't think they will do much different except these stupid ineffectual travel bans. It's not politically tenable here any longer. I hope it is the same for you all in the UK.
This whole control thing is just…Why would the government want to control "everything"? What advantages would the Covid "policies" bring the government?
So far their way to deal with Covid did them more harm then good: Matt Hancock ousted, Trump booed, BoJo heavily criticised....
A compliant, docile population that goes to work, pays their taxes & doesn't ask questions, is surely preferred by all Govts?Why would the government want to control "everything"? What advantages would the Covid "policies" bring the government?

money, greed, power. Authoritarian policies the default in western society Massive government contracts (testing, example) for them and friends.A compliant, docile population that goes to work, pays their taxes & doesn't ask questions, is surely preferred by all Govts?
They have plenty to gain from these policies. It's about money and greed ultimately. Giving contracts to their mates for PPE, buying shares in businesses they know will benefit from the restrictions? Testing is a multi-million business now, you can bet some of them have got their hand in that pie.
By continually changing rules, creating confusion, people feel unsettled, and anxious, and are more likely to follow their guidance, saves having to worry about it for ourselves you see? "They know best, they'll do what's right for us".
That's not even touching the enormous Big Pharma companies who are of course benefitting hugely from keeping people in a never ending booster loop - they are almost definitely pumping money into the Govt somehow.
Why all this focus on vaxx-ing primarily the First world countries? Because we have the money.
InI took my 4 year old niece to a buffet last week and they wouldn’t let me take her near the area where the food was as she didn’t have a mask I was given a list and she was to pick so we just left
