Who ever knew that muscles guy would be imbued with such Nostradamus-like powers? LOL
To be fair, it has always been fairly f***ing obvious. Every event is seized in its opportunity. That’s what power affords.
It’s the nature of power relations. I refer you to ‘daft’ Foucault. The power doesn’t exist if it’s not realised.That's daft - it's not a government plan to make everyone dependant on government money that they're not going to be able to afford if everyone is working for the government.
We're constantly pestering the government for money & they keep trying to weasel out of it.
Contact & trace hasn't worked because our system was rubbish.
They won't know how effective the vaccines are until June or July.
Lots more people would have died if we did nothing. Glasgow lost its archbishop to Covid today.

Jeremy Bentham described the British ideal in his proposition for a panopticon.
The vulnerable have been exposed. The strong, imprisoned. The public cries for more. Perfect!
I’m not saying it’s a grand master plan. It’s just the way power works. It’s ultimately why the state describes us as ‘subjects’: when the powerful sneeze ‘we’ catch the cold. I’m not even against it as such. I’m just frustrated with the deceit, and (more) the hypocrisy that comes with it.I could refer you to all my years padding about Holyrood & Westminster being nosy. The idea that they have a grand masterplan to control us all when they barely know how to work their Facebook is unlikely. It's true that they make crappy short-term decisions for money/their career but beyond that it's purest muddle.
The more money you borrow, the more you’re owned: An old truism that applies on both micro and macro scales. As my dad would’ve said, “you don’t get ‘out for nowt”.I could imagine they might accidentally sell us to China, mind.
They appear to have only just noticed we now have a border in the Irish sea.
Well, the DUP were screaming about that long before the election. So I hope we’re not going to get years of faux ignorance about the issue.I could imagine they might accidentally sell us to China, mind.

You see, it’s things like that which annoy me. Unbelievable.They've been raging about it for the past few days. Their constituents noticed supply chain issues & now they're acting as if they were tricked.
My favourite excuse is a Tory one though, she was too busy with a nativity trail to read the agreement.
Fisheries minister did not read Brexit deal ‘because it was Xmas Eve’
Boris Johnson is standing by his fisheries minister after she admitted that she did not read the post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels when it was agreed because she was busy organising a nativity trail.www.standard.co.uk
This is what the choice about the vaccine will look like: have it, or starve...

What did he really die of?That's daft - it's not a government plan to make everyone dependant on government money that they're not going to be able to afford if everyone is working for the government.
