Point taken. What I'm doing could really be done in almost any thread, as has been demonstrated. Even as an internal monologue, which is really what it is.wrong thread, @Clinamenic. don't derail this beauty.
Anyone with a functioning brain can see that it is the government's antipathy towards lockdowns that is the very reason we keep having them.The bedwetting/brainwashed half of the country and the monomaniacal scientists will be frothing at the bit for more restrictions as the situation worsens over the next month, while the freedom-lovers will have less of a leg to stand on (it will be said): opposition to lockdown will be much feebler as a result.

Carry on.
what has happened over the course of this year is unprecedented and we are all full of foreboding and unsubtanitated fears. nobody knows what the future will bring. none of us has any faith in our leaders. none of us is even very sure of whos in control, if anyone is.
it's natural in these circumstances that some of these fears congeal into specific forms, coalesce into narratives and pattern. we might, for instance, start thinking that this is a coordinated global response to climate change, under cover of a pandemic.
Isn't that the Why Conspiracy thread?Someone should do a proper physiology of paranoia, assess the metaphysique.
But how about the wider point, which is that absolutely any action the Johnson government takes at this point (having lockdown, getting rid of lockdown, Javid catches covid, Truss doesn't etc) will be taking as compelling evidence for your argument? Does that not make you question your thinking at all?Johnson has to play the long game cos he's part of a gang that is playing the long game (although not really that long a game as they're rolling out these changes very quickly)
Look at the use of midazolam.
I think that only goes to show that the government is still taken to be committed to lockdowns as a control measure.But how about the wider point, which is that absolutely any action the Johnson government takes at this point (having lockdown, getting rid of lockdown, Javid catches covid, Truss doesn't etc) will be taking as compelling evidence for your argument?

And every single time, the government has locked down weeks too late (meaning the lockdown continues far longer than it would have done otherwise), and ended it too early (which has made another lockdown a few months down the line inevitable).I think that only goes to show that the government is still taken to be committed to lockdowns as a control measure.
