O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[upthemaggies]

It is strange how the people on here who love to lace into the Tories at any suggestion of dodgy deals for their mates, are standing shoulder to shoulder with huge phama companies that are making billions out of a vaccine that has been rushed out, without the usual rigorous tests, and causing harm to people who would have been fine without it.

Not on here, but out there - there were useful idiots among the left who saw it as the perfect opportunity to bring down capitalism. Extremists are always tolerated to some extent by moderates on their own side (be that right or left) and the extremists do have more influence as the landscape becomes more polarised in times of greater uncertainty. One of the key figures advising the government was literally a communist, an expert in behavioural psychology, IIRC she was often introduced as a scientist/expert when she appeared on television. People trusted and listened to her.

As I'm sure most will know, the communists began weaponizing health as well as class, race, ***uality as a means of gaining power a century ago once they realised the poor were becoming better off under capitalism and rejecting socialism, but all of that is now on steroids because people of all political persuasions are seeing the monetary value in exploiting these factors, including groups supposedly fighting injustice now acting like protection rackets, it's a grift for a small bunch of people to make easy money whilst the rest of us are left arguing about what a woman is and whether or not teachers and pupils should be reprimanded for refusing to use horse or cat pronouns, distracted from the real issues.
