    It mystifies me as well Norder, people I would normally consider sane and intelligent, are hanging onto every word from Boris, Hancock and their mad scientists as though it's gospel and they are infallible. I can't begin to explain it.

    This is what it has been building up to for many years with the 'nanny' state having become the norm for so much of the population who just moan when something goes wrong and then expect someone to tell them how to put things right. In short, so many people have lost the ability to think for themselves and to use their own common sense and deductive powers to sort things out, therefore, they hang onto every word spoken from on high and believe it is gospel.
    Interesting that one of those involved in the recent U-turn was the infamous Professor Ferguson who had supposedly been dumped for his misdemeanours earlier in the year but who has been involved with NERVTAG who give advice to SAGE!

    thought reform - Milieu control....Sinkov ?


    All communication with outside world is limited, either being strictly filtered or completely cut off. Whether it is a monastery or a behind-closed-doors cult, isolation from the ideas, examples and distractions of the outside world turns the individuals attention to the only remaining form of stimulation, which is the ideology that is being inculcated in them.

    This even works at the intrapersonal level, and individuals are discouraged from thinking incorrect thoughts, which may be termed evil, selfish, immoral and so on.

    Aye, norder, and that is another problem because so many people are trying to find the 'meaning of life' or to 'find myself' etc. that they don't live a life that they could be living and enjoying they will continue trying to discover the perfect life.

    What a waste of time that is, FIFFA will have manufactured the perfect game of football before anyone finds the meaning of life.

    My old mate from Sheffield was sunk three times during WWII and lost a lot of mates in these actions but he survived and his advise to me as "Your only here once so just make sure that you give the ball a bloody good kick!" and I have been doing that for the past 48 years no matter what is thrown up. That is the meaning of life to me, it craps on you from a great height sometimes but just sort it out!
