alistair you take an incorrect anti-lockdown position which I find very, very irritating.

And once again can’t defend an anti-lockdown position.

It was most likely a Tory soundbite some talking head mentioned on Sky News, G. Parrots never make sense.

Funny how we lockdown for a virus, yet currently right now no beds in hospitals if you go by the media. Excess deaths, cancer rates spiralling, can’t see you’re doctor face to face and NHS out striking. Yet in 2020 first lockdown they where busy making tik tok videos. Oh and vaccine complications could well add more pressure.

So let’s lockdown again, oh wait won’t happen big pharma and the 1% got what they wanted and the reset is close to being complete. Oh yeah and the rest of us are broke as shit and further away from affording private health care. So we are fkd.

If we do lockdown again I put my money on its not due to the NHS being over run or health.

Funky wee Jimmy was another advocate of vaccine passports as I recall.

You conveniently trust the media when you need some back-up. Why shouldn’t hospitals be full, there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting on ops that were delayed or cancelled and there isn’t the money or the system to help it run efficiently.

Where’re the arguments against the lockdowns lads?

benson

Mad_Cyril no kids and a canny approach to working weekends and nights to get time back.

That and a bit of 5g conspiracy theory and microchips and the like.

Funky is an exemplar of what happens after 40 years of a broken economic doctrine. Thrashing about trying to understand the world through conspiracy, leading to page faults like Brexit.

Millsy

mono-stereo yeah, either that or he’s just a complete head the ball.

Sad really.

Millsy I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive.

One of the reasons conspiracies are appealing and spread rapidly is that the tendency is to think if ‘x’ big event happens, there must be an equally big reason behind it. When in reality, there are often a multitude of factors that triggered it or something small and, at the time, insignificant. Since that doesn’t seem to add up, the conspiracy fills the space. Yet history is littered with example after example of how incompetency, human error, greed/corruption and short term thinking is usually at the root of it.

Amps

whatever That and the fact that it’s well documented that historically governments get up to all kinds of shite, so why would you expect them to stop?

whatever

Amps

Exactly. That’s the rub of it that there are things that happen in plain sight. They’re so systemic and entrenched that there is a collective apathy or hopelessness. On the other hand, you can read your Uncle Steve’s Facebook page and be catalysed to spread conspiracies. All at an opportunity cost of doing something about actual issues.

Mad_Cyril

Amps casually filling the space with conspiracy there.

I like it!
