I mock experts, politicians, media?
First - "worse than useless" -

then "Save the NHS don't buy masks; save them for nurses" -

and now -

Whatever happened to Common Sense? I bought mine in February.

I wonder whether it is all incompetence or manipulation, i.e we have to open up we have terrified everyone, masks (while not doing much) will give them confidence?

I have never lived through such a debacle and am genuinely bewildered as to motives Vs stupidity.

Prob both.

You and every member of all species, that currently occupy our planet.

However we expect instant answers to why a new and unknown virus is quickly killing.

Extremely virulent, contagious, obnoxious, mysterious and potent.


Some even think its trivial - yet nobody has as answer yet, and may never have.

As to what it is, why its happening - or how to eradicate it.

Many too - continue to ignore what the WHO is saying, and has been for months.

Very naughty Mr Barney.

As you well know my view is that the debacle is the response not the virus. Please don't quote me in support of the panicdemic industry!

It reminds me of the saucepans and the war effort.
They persuaded people to send their pans to be melted down into fighter jets and they were discovered in an aircraft hangar untouched. Every one of them.
It was to boost confidence.

W.H.O said Covid was not severe, they don't wear masks either. Government made it compulsory to wear masks in shops - looks they want the high street to die.

I did shopping during lockdown, I only saw a handful of shopper's wearing face coverings.

Looks like I will be buying from Abebooks to get my books from now on and not the independent second the hand book shops or charity shops.

If went can't flick through the records in the record shops, do we then use Discogs or eBay to kill more businesses ?

Looks like shoplifting will go up also and muggings in certain towns.

Please note; that Ski masks are the choice for armed robbers.

Very interesting Honey. I suspect so. Another thread I posted on here "fear through persuasion" explicity shows SAGE adopting behavioural psychology through media to infleunce behaviour. It is not even a secret!

Wow, Honey and Wyot are spot on. It's all about control and being sheep. I wonder if the vaccine will be there to kill people ?

Some saucepans were used to make bombs and part's but the majority of waste material was dumped in the sea and Thames Estuary.

It be like the uncollected/unsed masks they will be dumped and littered. Then the media and government will blame us.
