It's the global lobbying group for oligarchs and mega corporations making public announcements about their policy decisions. It's unpleasant to think about this but as we have seen with the ESL announcement elites are determined to use the pandemic to increase their wealth and power. Of course it's not. Alex Jones totally hasn't been shouting about this stuff for 15 years. On ignore I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we be seeing all this heel-dragging if there was no election this year and IndyRef2 wasn't at stake if a full majority wasn't forthcoming? I'm not so sure. I honestly think we'd bee seeing lockdown removed faster. We're going to have to wait to see what happens after the election but I wouldn't be surprised to find things speeding up quite drastically.. The SNP are overly criticized for everything they do , including once for not spending all of their allocated money and instead holding some back. they are terrified that any f**k up with covid over and above those made at UK wide level ( ie one where things are markedly worse here than elsewhere) l will be on their head and will f**k up there election 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On ignore I think. I don't read or listen to Alex Jones but if he has predicted anything correctly it's because anyone who has anyone who has a basic understanding of capitalism knows that capitalists will attempt to use any form of technology in any way that increases their profit. We are sadly at a point where the technology allows for a totalitarian level of surveillance and the forces which constrained and limited the actions of the capitalist class in the 20th century no longer exist. Again when the WEF say "Fourth Industrial Revolution" they really mean it. Edited April 20, 2021 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what you mean by conspiracy. Class struggle isn't a conspiracy, there have always been smaller dominant classes collaborating to exploit the far greater dispossessed class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And err, how exactly is this going to stop us from returning to meaningful normal life post-pandemic? The WEF have no authority to tell countries and governments what to do. Just look at the pushback towards the European Super League, which is already toxic and inevitably won't happen. How are those promoting green recoveries going to square this with the 'oligarchs' who depend on fossil fuels? None of these people can agree with each other and it has been the same throughout history, yet you think they're capable of implementing some 'new world order'? Take your head out of your own arse as well as the YouTube and Twitter rabbit hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar vibes to last year now where it transpired the models the routemap were based on were incredibly pessimistic, and the drop in prevelance caught them out. Will the SG learn from the (ultimately) fruitless missed opportunity to stimulate the economy last year? Or will they dig their heels in again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Clearly the only way currently infections are rising in the UK is if you decide to go out and riot or stick a bomb under a polis car, as opposed to going for a pint and a haircut.

Scosha Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Are we likely to see a major increase in vaccine supply soon? 2nd dose numbers are great, but just over 2k first doses today make it seem like we've stalled a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always scheduled to be this way until 1st week in May. The global bun fight for vaccines is only going to get worse too. Hopefully we get what we have on order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
