I think we can all agree now that the government has massively over-reacted, so why are the policies in opposition to the data still ?
If we were investigating a crime-ring then the fact that lots of the people in place to 'advise' govs on the matter of COVID policy also have a vested financial interest would be a rather large red flag. There are a multitude of individuals in the West who are policy influencers in this regard but also have what would normally be called a conflict of interest.
Why are the gov policies based on cases rather than the actual risk that the virus poses, which is very low for most of us?
Why are so many health professionals speaking out against the COVID measures ?
Why are the COVID 'rules' being passed via Statutory Instruments (giving parliament less than an hour in some cases to read the relevant material, which is feet-high stacks of paper) before 'voting' on the 'bill' ? (in the UK, a parliamentary vote usually means doing what 'the whip' tells you to do - the whip being some arrogant bastard running around Westminster telling everyone to be 'on message').
And please don't tell me they use Statutory Instruments because it's an emergency, they used the same process to pass the UK/US extradition treaty, and other laws that benefit the state but not the people in most cases.
Why are most governments passing dictates that are flying in the face of the data ?
Even Piers Pigface Morgan was questioning the stats on Morning TV the other day, ITV have been very good at allowing people to question the stats on air without calling them COVIDIOTS and the like.
I am incensed, as all of us who are informed should be, businesses have crumpled and many people have died due to policies, not virii.
The regular protests at Trafalgar Square in London aren't full of nutcases who worship at the Church of Icke (why the f### did they choose him as one of the spokepersons!?), they are an incredible cross-section of London society, from the working class and beyond. The protests were all peaceful until the riot police showed up and started 'kettling', and then hitting people with their batons, pushing old ladies to the ground.
Here is last Saturday's protest in full, it's mostly boring until the police (lots of whom had Eastern European accents, according to many protesters) decide to send in the Territorial Support Group (who have had bad press since the '80s) :

Don't Believe The Hype.
