https://21stcenturywire.com/2020/06/10/ ... t-society/As the Coronavirus crisis winds down, government officials remain desperate to squeeze every last drop of leverage to advance more control policies during the extended ‘lockdown’ phase, and to use the illusion of a continual crisis as convenient cover to ‘reshape government’ and implement further “New Normal” social engineering measures, keep schools shut, as well as kill-out what is left the SME and independent business sector. However, behind the facade of a clapping Boris Johnson, an opaque shadow government is busy running COVID propaganda operations targeting the public, as well as restructuring the NHS – not for COVID, but more likely for future privatization of health services in Britain, and also prepare for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution. All this and much more.

Re: UK News
Whoa Uncle KP. Some countries such as Taiwan even had foresight. They anticipated China telling some fibs about a dangerous disease.
Johnson has continued to balls up the UK response through this crisis. For example his recent support of Cummings. No wonder Brits are feeling a bit skeptical on social distancing.

Perhaps Khun Paul is better when KP is drawing on his wealth of life experience to dress down the "youngsters". He's just made for this old headmaster like role.

The number of coronavirus deaths in the UK would have been halved if lockdown had been introduced a week earlier, a former government adviser has said.

Its always those with hindsight that say these things. Where were they at the start of this epidemic shouting about shutting down the Country in February???. These are unprecedented times and people sniping away with the benefit of fore mentioned hindsight is just political drum beating. Same as Starmer, first speech as leader of the Marxist Party, "I will lead a Constructive Opposition" Forgotten about 5 minutes later and just scoring points doing what comes easier, criticizing. Can anyone provide in one very short answer show anything that LIEBOUR have come up with as an alternative response to the virus crisis.

Re: UK News
I'm not surprised to see this. In one of the links Chris Whitty on 11 March is reported as saying:
What was happening in China and Italy? Whitty doesn't seem to have been on top of what was happening elsewhere. Taiwan watches China like a hawk. The UK doesn't.Conservative MP Steve Baker lashed out at Stewart, a former Tory cabinet secretary, on Twitter today for his calls to immediately shut all schools and limit public gatherings ... The UK’s chief medical officer Chris Whitty has said these measures are not necessary.

Re: UK News
Yes but Taiwan has other reasons for watching Chine, Virus notwithstanding they have a love hate relationship, currently it is in hate mode.
As I stated before each and every country has its own scientific advisors and Chief medical officers, what they make of the information coming in is based on their experience , advice may have been given and discounted by the politicians, as appears to be the case in the UK it seems, bearing ion mind that Politicians always look to the next election first , rather than other reasons for thinking .
it is difficult to utter the advice and NOT scare the public all at the same time. So it appears it was tempered to downplay the seriousness but at the same time attempt to deal with the known scenario of the enormous inflow of Hospital patients and possibly more importantly of of equipment requirements which before then was adequate , now
needed to be sourced, ordered and despatched at exactly tha same time as virtually every country in Europe and most of the free world.
So it is hardly surprising that mistakes were made, people lives lost , What we need to do now is to learn from our mistakes , remember history ( not destroy it like the Slave riots of today) , but remember and make sure it does not happen again. Destroying history is counter-productive .

Re: UK News
This news will get a few British posters a bit hot under the collar:
Don't get too worked up boys, it's Friday.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/ ... -from-uktvAn episode of Fawlty Towers famous for coining the phrase, “Don’t mention the war!” has become the latest “classic” British television programme to be taken down from a BBC-owned streaming service, as broadcasters continue to conduct a reappraisal of old British television content.
The episode of the 1970s sitcom – in which John Cleese as Basil Fawlty goose-steps around a Torquay hotel while shouting the phrase – was recently removed from the BBC-controlled UKTV catch-up service.

Re: UK News
Because some halfwit libtard being paid by the oh so righteous left wing pretenders in the BBC make a stupid, stupid decision that does not mean that it represents Britain or British views. You really need justify why you believe that Brits are emasculated.
Re: UK News
There are some who consider Andrew Sach's portrayal of Manuel as the dim, English language-challenged Spanish waiter, perpetually being verbally and physically abused by Cleese's misanthropic character as being no longer acceptable.

Boris seems to be taking his cues from the Bloated Orange Bullshiitter - either stay with the party line, or you are out!
As with Trump, I think we all know how much you can trust this "government minister".England’s chief nurse was dropped from a daily Downing Street briefing on the coronavirus for refusing to back Dominic Cummings, the Guardian understands.
In a trial run for the 1 June briefing, Ruth May was asked about Cummings driving his family from London to Durham while his wife had suspected Covid-19. When she failed to back the prime minister’s chief adviser, she is understood to have been dropped from the press conference taking place later that day – though this has been denied by a government minister.

Re: UK News
Headmasters in my day had a very different skill-set from that I have seen from KP.
And that has only been magnified over the years, from what I have observed from my Headmaster oldest son.
Re: UK News
The fact that you had a headmaster amazes me, judging by your poor skills you seem to display currently. Oh well it may have been a Government Run institution.jackspratt wrote: ↑June 13, 2020, 8:36 pmHeadmasters in my day had a very different skill-set from that I have seen from KP.
