“We will grind you revolutionists down under our heel, and we shall walk upon your faces.
The world is ours, we are its lords, and ours it shall remain. As for the host of labor, it has been in the dirt since history began,
and I read history aright. And in the dirt it shall remain so long as I and mine and those that come after us have the power.
There is the word. It is the king of words—Power. Not God, not Mammon, but Power. Pour it over your tongue till it tingles with it. Power.”

I do not accept the deity of the Machine !

E.M Forster - The Machine Stops (1909) His concerns about the future of humanity - the consequences of human dependence on Technology..

The story describes a world in which most of the human population has lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual lives in isolation below ground in a standard room, with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the Omnipotent, Global Machine. Travel is permitted, but is unpopular and rarely necessary. Communication is made via a kind of instant messaging/video conferencing machine with which people conduct their only activity: the sharing of ideas and what passes for knowledge.





“Cannot you see, cannot all you lecturers see, that it is we that are dying, and that down here the only thing that really lives is the Machine? We created the Machine, to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now. It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch, it has blurred every human relation and narrowed down love to a carnal act, it has paralyzed our bodies and our wills, and now it compels us to worship it. The Machine develops - but not on our lies. The Machine proceeds - but not to our goal. We only exist as the blood corpuscles that course through its arteries, and if it could work without us, it would let us die.”

Had to laugh at that. The whole thing is crazy and I certainly wouldn't wear a mask when I am out on my bike.
Mind you, as I said before, if I go to watch Ashington I have to wear a mask when stood out in the open air. On Saturday they play in the Vase at Nelson and, although, the stated infection figures down that area are far worse than in Ashington, I could travel down, pay on the gate and watch without a face mask. I am very tempted, however, Ashington have won their last 5 matches so I had better not jinx them!

I was going to go to watch Clitheroe at Runcorn on Saturday Sub, but they're asking fans to wear face masks, so they can feck off. I might well nip over to Nelson again to have another look at your lads, they won 5-0 last time I was there, I'll be expecting more this time.

If they are talking about fans wearing masks at Runcorn you had better check up about Nelson because perhaps the Cheshire FA and Lancashire FA my be insisting on their being worn ---it was the two local FAs up here that made this ruling ---although there is nothing in the FA guidance!

Nothing on the Nelson website about face masks Sub, and they're not required at Clitheroe either. Whether it's Runcorn Linnets themselves who have instigated the rule, or possibly the local or regional council I don't know.

"Imposing more new coronavirus restrictions would be "too hasty", scientists have said after figures revealed that up to a quarter of patients currently in hospital with Covid-19 caught the virus after being admitted. Leading statisticians called on the Government to "pause", having shown that a significant proportion of the escalating hospital case total is down to poor Covid security within trusts."

Here we go again, they're wanting to close restaurants down and it turns out the most dangerous place to be is not stuffing your face with steak frites in a gastropub, but in a hospital. Our wonderful NHS, envy of the world. FFS

Does anybody here want a new house? You will just have to wait some years but you will get ! Solution ,Just do as per example!
Simple really! Just bomb a few places and wait!

A PAL of terrorist Osama Bin Laden is likely to get a "taxpayer-funded house" when he returns to the UK after getting out of a US jail early.
Adel Abdel Bary's expected return to the UK has been blasted as he is likely to get a taxpayer-funded house in a bid to control his movements.


Then
(Associated Press Monday, July 12, 1999But bin Laden, along with six other suspects, remains a fugitive. He is believed to be in Afghanistan.

.......(note) The operation ended a nearly 10-year search for bin Laden.The raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

So much for intelligence ,spy satellites ,telecommunications etc etc 10 years??

......Britain is too damn soft!!!
