Government says No


 

Here are just some of the things that you either can’t do in much of Britain at the moment (can we retire the ‘Great’ forever, please), or only in a very limited way, or only with extreme difficulty.

So government says No to:


Meeting in groups of more than six

Mixing with other families

Hugging your grandparents or, in some cases, parents

Drinking in a pub or eating in a restaurant after 10pm

Attending spectator sports like football and rugby, except in very small numbers

Seeing a GP face-to-face

Going into a shop, gallery, cinema or many other places without a mask

Getting a dentist appointment

Having casual sex

Going on a foreign holiday

Going to a funeral

Going to a wedding

Accessing content online that does not fit with the government narrative 

Planning Christmas, or any travel anywhere

ENJOYING LIFE


The notion of personal choice and responsibility have gone the way of the Dodo. Remember that Covid deaths in this country peaked on April 8 and we were told we had to have a three-week lockdown to ‘protect the NHS’. What we now have is an out of control, sinister and authoritarian government that can’t admit its mistakes and is trampling on the minds and jobs of millions of people in order to… to do what? Give an 86-year-old a couple more months of life? 


Remember that this is a virus that 99.9% of people recover from; the average age of someone dying with it is 82; one CDC report suggested that 94% of those who had Covid on their death certificate died from co-morbidities.


This is an off the scale scandal, the most disgusting, dumb course of action ever taken by a UK government. Johnson, Hancock, Gove, Cummings - your names will live in infamy and you will never be forgiven for this. Obviously the court jester of Downing Street believes that he has four years before an election so his cataclysmic mismanagement of this crisis will be forgotten by then (if he is indeed still PM), but I can assure you prime minister, it won’t be. It won’t be.

12 reasons why I don't believe there's a climate emergency

I’m not a scientist. But I have reasons why I don’t fully trust the ‘climate emergency’ narrative. Here they are: 1 Looking back through history, there have always been doomsday prophets, folk who say the world is coming to an end. Are modern-day activists not just the current version of this? 2 I look at some of the facts – CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere; humans are responsible for just 3% of CO2; Britain is responsible for just 1% of the world’s CO2 output – and I think ‘ really ’? Will us de-carbonising really make a difference to the Earth’s climate? 3 I have listened to some top scientists who say CO2 does not drive global warming; that CO2 in the atmosphere is a good/vital thing; that many other things, like the sun and the clouds and the oceans, are more responsible for the Earth’s temperature. 4 I note that most of the loudest climate activists are socialists and on the Left. Are they not just using this movement to push their dreams of a deindustrialised socialist utopia?...

Is this the death of cinema?

2023’s Oscars ceremony was significant, as it may well have been the last time we see its kind. Because like the terrible idea to expand the football World Cup to 48 teams next time round, the rules are being changed by the Academy. See the press release here , which presents the most serious assault ever seen on the workings of the film industry.   Read it? Then I’ll continue. (Do please read it. It's horrifying. Yes, the Academy has been dodgy and corrupt for years, but this is a new frontier of awfulness.) It was of course a plan conceived in one of the worst years the civilised world has ever seen, 2020, when not only did the compassion fascists fulfil their dream of controlling people’s behaviour to the Nth degree (because of a disease akin to the seasonal flu), but the race obsessives/warriors/grifters fulfilled their dream of making people bend the knee to the great god of anti-racism (because of the death of a black recidivist), actions which did very little to halt the...

Is this why Britain is failing?

I work for a company in England that has offices in different countries, including the US. It is a media company. I suspect it’s a fairly typical medium-sized corporation. In this post I will run down some of the things it has done in 2024 – though I could have gone further back (things started changing around 2018, with HR becoming ‘People & Culture’ and then got turbo-charged from 2020 onwards). I’m not saying that all of these things are bad things. Some are quite nice. They are not all ‘woke’. But many are. And taken together they suggest that many British companies in 2024 are perhaps not as focused on their core product as they might be. Valentine’s Day treasure hunt On 14 February, objects were hidden around the office for employees to seek out. First prize was a M&S voucher and there was a gift for all entrants. A decade or so ago you used to be able to secretly send a saucy message to an object of your affection, but this has long since ceased. Red Nose Day As ...
