The thing about freedom /QUOTE]

Enjoy that freedom when you're out there building pyramids for Klaus Schwab in 2024, being whipped incessantly with a cat o'nine tails from Bill Gates.

Joking aside, who wants to be locked away in a room trolling the comments section of the Daily Mail while everyone else is on a beach in Dubai moving on with life? We've had a difficult time already without making it harder with rebellion.

I'm still worried about fitness advice from Boris Johnson though. That's a yoga class I shall NOT be taking.

One never knew that the U-turn was a yoga move, he's got it nailed.

And calling half the population “numb skulls” because of something you think they “probably” believe in? What a conceited thing to say. (I had to moderate my words here because my true thoughts would likely get me banned).
I've seen the opinion polls, so I know what they think. Large numbers of people have seemingly become brainwashed. That's what happens when people can't think for themselves, and just sit there like vegetables, consuming everything the biased MSM serves up, and nothing that the MSM doesn't want anyone to see.

Here's where you'll probably fillet me, BUT I believe that Thatcher was the last great leader. She was far from popular, but she made decisions, stuck by those decisions and did what was necessary to move forwards. (Often on her own, without anyone's help.)
I agree with you. Thatcher was the last great conviction politician. But far more importantly, she was the last politician not to sell Britain out to the globalists. The rot started with Major and Maastricht, and has continued with every PM since.

Voting for Lib-Lab-Con-Green means more of the same. I've been voting for fringe candidates, independents, and spoiling my ballot paper for years, because it's obvious that none of the mainstream parties can deliver the change that's needed, and they're all selling us out.

You don't know me. You don't know my history. The thing about freedom is that it is wasted if one uses it to indulge in fatuous and ill-informed conspiracy theories and obsessive promotion of childish agendas.
This time last year, vaccine passports were branded 'a conspiracy theory'. Now they're at an advanced stage of planning and implementation. If you haven't learned anything from that, and the last year in general, then I can't be of any further assistance to you. I have friends who are the same, they can't see what's right in front of their eyes, and they're incapable of seeing how all of this fits together in one large jigsaw of totalitarianism and tyranny. I don't actually care if you can't see it. But when it all happens, please don't say you weren't warned.

Then again, your posts suggest that you might think that this kind of totalitarianism is great. If that's the case then I wouldn't be too surprised. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the communists and their Western supporters didn't simply disappear. They were always still there, hoping to resurrect failed totalitarian ideologies and policies.

I'm still worried about fitness advice from Boris Johnson though. That's a yoga class I shall NOT be taking.
He's been seen riding bikes and jogging. I guess the beer or wine always won in the end.

I've seen it reported that Boris governs by opinion poll. That would explain why he didn't fire Hancock immediately, because there wasn't yet an opinion poll telling him what to do. Once the public anger became apparent, no doubt he informed Hancock of his choices, resign or be fired. I find it quite worrying that we have a Prime Minister who doesn't have a functioning moral compass, and doesn't know what to do until he gets public feedback.

I can’t respond to that thread but I see your point. With the exception of the BBC, Sky, Guardian, Economist, Independent, Telegraph, Mail, Times, Mirror, Yahoo etc, yeah, there’s been a complete media blackout.
Oh really! I've just visited the BBC website.

I did not see anything about the huge protest in London on the BBC front page. Next I tried the BBC news page, but I did not see anything there either. So I tried BBC local news for London, and I did not see it reported there either. I'm aware that the BBC sometimes hides news that doesn't fit it's agenda and narrative on areas of the website that people rarely visit, but if that's the case it's buried so deep this time I'd need an excavator to find it.

So I tried the Telegraph. Nothing obviously on the front page or news pages there either.

I looked on the Dailymail website too, and they don't appear to be reporting it either, although they'll happily report on covid-related protests in Paris and Australia.

Same at the Guardian. There's something on covid protests in Australia, but nothing about London.

They've all had more than enough time to get an article up, but I have seen nothing so far. And I know they usually love to cover a protest.

Oh, and by the way, the YouTube video of today's protests has now mysteriously disappeared. I wonder how that could be?

What a load of codswallop!

The NHS is not a business , not even one owned by the Government. Obesity is a major health problem in the UK (though on average Americans are fatter). It makes good sense for health professionals to try to prevent the diseases of obesity rather than wait for the problem to arise and then treat the sick. I did not hear anybody complaining of a loss of liberty when smallpox was eliminated by a huge international effort to vaccinate and isolate populations where it existed.

The NHS was pledged with the prevention of disease from its inception in 1948, something it has been doing ever since with some degree of success: deaths from heart disease, stroke and other major causes of premature death; deaths related to tobacco consumption and excessive alcohol consumption; all have fallen, some dramatically. And with no loss of liberty. Everybody can still obtain fatty foods, saturated with sugar and salt; tobacco is still on sale for those silly enough to buy it; alcoholic drinks are more freely available now than any time since the Eighteenth Century gin palaces were closed.

There is no loss of freedom here, except in the fevered imagination of justsomebloke and others. I do not defend the current government. I see that they are prone to overlooking the proper liberty of the British. But this pilot scheme designed to find way to improve the health of the population is not part of any government's grand scheme to enslave us.

The internet has become the devil's favourite playground. The Spanish Flu pandemic was a lot worse than this and yet it's rarely ever brought up.

COVID on the other hand will run and run for decades to come - and for ALL of the wrong reasons. "Those millennials, what a weird bunch they were. They cried and complained to the government on the one hand when they had no money; spent £18 for a pint with their hipster mates on the other."

No, Spanish flu was immediately compared to covid. The comparison has been made repeatedly.

We cannot say which disease was worse because the standard of care today is so much higher. Vaccination for viral diseases is a very new thing; drugs and even hospital care was much less available in 1919. The overall health of most populations is now much better.

I wish I could read the future with your confidence. I think covid and maybe other sars-type viral infections could well be with us for many years. I don't understand what it has to do with over-priced beer.
