  1. I'm with you all the way, Stu. Yes, we're certainly in trouble.Our authorities have been encouraging the infantilisation and dependence of people for the past 3 decades or more. I've seen it as a parent, done my best to counter it. But they've created a huge swathe of people who are adult size with childlike needs for parental authority and support.

  2.  @ericboxer3053  Seems to me that white people are quietly retrenching and self-segregating anyway. Qv. the white flight from urban areas. To my mind, cities are quite disturbing, lawless places nowadays.

  3. Sadly, I believe that you're not wrong, Elizabeth.

  4. It's not just freedoms either, it's our rights too that are being flagrantly swept aside. Seems to me that politicians of all stripes have been caught with their pants down vis a vis covid. They'll do anything to cover up and negate their monumental incompetence and negligence.

  5. We Brits will do fine. We love talking about the weather. LOL!

  6.  @purpuradraco3747  Currently, the NHS is deciding on 'useful'. They have squads of 'frailty nurses' visiting older people in their own homes unannounced. Then they 'assess' the older person as too frail to be resuscitated in the event of a medical problem requiring hospitalisation and the next day the person gets what amounts to a cancel notice - a notification that they will not get ethical treatment that they are legally and morally entitled to in the event of illness.

  7.  @purpuradraco3747  Oh, Purpura! We're on the same page exactly.

  8. How do we do that, Tony? What should we act on? This is an amorphous hydra that has infiltrated just about every area of life, under our noses whilst the majority were fast asleep...

  9. Aye, we're psychologically kettled.

  10.  @purpuradraco3747  Yes, it's all appalling, isn't it? Though I think we may not be in such a minority. It maybe just that we haven't been forced to declare ourselves yet. Only an hour ago, I was talking with my 30-something neighbour who's a drs' receptionist. She told me that they're all horrified at the latest edict from NHS Euthanasia Central Command: no one over 40 will be resussed if they have e.g. cardiac arrests now. This type of flagrant abuse of humans and our rights will not be tolerated. At some point or other there will be 'pushback'. Bojo et al are riding for a fall.

  11.  @purpuradraco3747  Yes, and I am convinced that, out here there are many more ordinary good people who just quietly go about their business, doing their best for others based on traditional good values. I think there will be strong pushback at some point. I don't think doctors actually subscribe to any oath these days. They have some ethics lectures (my philosophy professor also lectured trainee doctors), but I believe that's about it. But, good grief! what's this about reducing the population to under 40million?? If that's what they wanted then why on earth let in so many millions of licit and illicit immigrants...?

  12. Moreover, in my experience of ending my association with television, you do more thinking for yourself.

  13. @Mr Creosote You know, I think some of us did take it seriously. I went to uni in the late 80s-early 90s when the academic neo-Marxists were beginning to flex their muscles in earnest. I signed up to 'Women's Studies' as a filler to bump some extra credits on my scoreboard. TWO sessions - a lecture and a seminar - is all I could stand. I was out of there and onto another 'doss' 1/2 module superquick. It was arrant nonsense, sheer propaganda and ideologising and verging on insanity. Anyone with enough experience of the real world immediately picked that up. I fared better than a lot though - there was one young woman on that course, a strict Christian from Nigeria, she actually had a nervous breakdown because of the lunacy she was expected to agree with. Poor girl. No academic course should damage people like that. But the new-Marxists didn't care a fig. They just kept rolling on....and now look where we are....

  14. Your assessment is, I believe, accurate. It all started when the bankers moved us from a savings/cash economy to a credit economy in the 80s. I knew it was bad then, and completely unsustainable. Anyone with any sense can see that creating endless debt is a bankrupt endeavour. It was bound to fail and to need correction. Now, yet again, they're attempting to get the ordinary, hard-working public to pay for their greedy frolics.
