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

... if anyone deluded themselves into thinking that we live in a democracy, this is further evidence that, for decades, we live in a dictatorship with a hard core/handful of power struck idiots aided and abetted by a multitued of self-serving controllers at all levels who will never give up
the power of their own little empires. It's the UK version of communism - absolute control; and we can do f-all about it.
Our tin pot 'government' plays about with eveyone else's money; it's peanuts compared to what goes on on the world stage. With covid control fading, the current stick is the climate change nonsense ... trying to frighten everyone into moving in a their desired direction. The efforts of the climate change scientists to rape governments of our £££'s mirrors that of big pharma conning every government daft enough to listen re covid.
The combined efforts of the mob to control climate are as great as the length of a knats c.ck being waved about in a hurricane when compared to what the effect of the sun will have at some time in the future. Ssk the scientists about that ...

Still, good news about the Tory leadership contest. Seems that they have enjoyed the last few weeks of opposition and are determined to stay there.

I have to agree....

No one denies that there is climate change, it's a natural phenomena. The problem is that we are being taxed to prevent it from happening - which is impossible. It's just another area of wealth distribution.
Global warming (as it used to be called before those at the top didn't think it sounded scary enough) was a god send for those trying to think up ideas for taking more money from us.

Natural phenomena that too off at around the same time as the Industrial Revolution. Coincidence?

Where's your evidence?

How about El Niño - did that begin with the Industrial Revolution?

Just to confirm, you're saying that there was NO climate change before then?

I know the Luddite movement originated in Nottingham, but I didn't know that there were still some of the Luddites alive!

No, not saying that - I said it 'took off' then meaning suddenly increased, here's a few sources:

IMHO there is a strata of society, Government and religions whose unspoken aim is to keep the masses subdued so that they can maintain their elevated status. Religion, alcohol and nowadays anything that gives us all a quick dopamine hit like on-line shopping, smart phones or watching Love Island, Strictly, Big Brother will keep us from questioning our masters too closely.

The recent riots showed (and I'm misusing a phrase from somewhere else here) civilization is a mile wide and an inch thick. I bet the authorities were glad when the footy season started and it's coming towards the end of the year. Riots never happen in winter really do they?

It's my conspiracy theory and I'm going to stick to it! LOL.

Plato's noble lie anyone?

Edit: Someone has noticed the addiction theory, but hasn't made the elite controlling of the masses connection, ha, ha:

It sounds like Huxley's Brave New World to me. However, when you drill into facts, how many people out there are legally or illegally medicating? I was shocked when I found out how many people were taking anti-depressants.
