This morning on channel 5 with Jeremy Vine, a guy called in saying he didn't want to wear a mask when he went to the shops, which is obviously counter-culture right now.
I wear a mask when i go to the shops, but just to please others, the stats don't bear out the fear.
What i didn't like was the treatment of the man that called in.
He's a capitalist civilian just like the rest of us, yet he got called an idiot by the entire 'news' team, he was doggedly bullied, he wasn't even allowed to have his opinion.
One of the presenters compared his desire to go shopping without a mask to people going driving without wearing a seat belt, which reminded me of many moronic analogies. Analogies are rarely useful or data-comparative and mostly emotional.
What we have here is a situation where no-one knows what the frack is going on, therefore every response is a fail - it's either too much or too little, too soon or too late.
The numbers tell use that we all have more chance of winning the lottery than 'catching' the germ.
I think it's over blown, and i've seen it close to hand.
I wouldn't want to be the guy that comes to my house with a needle for me and my loved ones, i could not believe Fauci the other week, comparing accepting enforced vaccination as a 'civil rights' act' He actually frakkin said that.
This is called inversion, the self-interested, careerist wankers who don't give a sh## about anybody else, are actually trained in neuro linguistic programming as part of their political education. They are sold it as marketing, they come from Harvard and end up in Glaxo What Ever.
And most people think they are nice guys, that they have the interests of Humanity at heart.
Look around you, we are the toads, the water is getting even hotter.
Yes i keep saying this because i see it now and you can see it when reading history, government has always been about control of the populace, not about the well-being of them. Every Western government is modeled on old Rome '.. make them comfortable but make them obey ...".
We don't have left or right or center, it's smoke and mirrors, we have bottom, middle and top.
The individuals that are in charge of the institutions behind government - they are at the top and they are unelected, these are our governments advisors. All of our ministers, Prime or not, do what the advisers tell them to do, since the advisers are the experts. But the advisers don't change, over decades.
Your average voter doesn't have a clue about the minutiae of government and how laws get passed and the world changes, voting is a pastime for the ignorant.
I think (ironically) we need a system of gov that no longer pretends to be left or right, we need to vote in capable individuals to a team that runs the country. Left and Right seem like meaningless labels now, we need teams of experts that can run countries, not ministers that do transport one year and finance the next, noone is that multi-skilled.
The whole thing needs a f###ing upgrade, i've had 4 adult decades of it now and it's fucknig sh## and needs re-tooling.
Love you guys x x x
