Talking of conspiracy theories, hope he's not an REM fan,

Mott the Hoople and the Game of Life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Monopoly, twenty-one, checkers, and chess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let's play Twister, let's play Risk (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
See you heaven if you make the list (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby?
Hey, baby, are we losing touch?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve, then nothing is cool
..........

I am not a conspiracy theorist. i just want to hear debate from people on all sides.


What is there to fear?


My issue here is not saying who is right, who is wrong, I don't know.


My issue is there is ever only going to be one answer if there is only one answer to choose from.



CAM, have you seen the film?

I have and like any science, including the one I'm particularly interested in, geology, there are always people who will and are free to have opinions of their own. I prefer to believe others above this guy and I find it ironically amusing that he has the same name as a 'nutty' comedian around whom a conspiracy theory song was based.

Laughable and stupid

Coronavirus lockdown breakers: 'We got a dirty look and I called it to an end'

One of them even wrote to the police to complain afterwards so wasting even more time of essential workers
I would imagine they are the type of people who's cupboards are over spilling with pasta and loo roll

* The classic technique....person A speaks, Person C likes Person A, Person C is discredited, therefore Person A is discredited.

Nonsense.

This exact same thing happened in the Brexit debate.

BBC publishes anti Brexit story. Someone finds a small branch of the BBC got a tiny EU grant and the whole story is discredited.
Someone finds UCL got part finding from the EU for a building and any report from them is discredited. Nonesense.

Its an old trick. It you dont have the intellect to debate the content of the report, you attack the source.

Quote Johnson in todays Sun "Have you had this thing? Well, don’t get it. You don’t want it."

Herd immunity?

Are the governments advisors belong criticism?

Niall Ferguson was, according to some were responsible for the disastrous response to Foot and Mouth when many cattle were slaughtered
unnecessarily. He has been providing the computer models for the government. 2 million was his first estimate.

28, 000 people died of Flu in 2014 15 according to the DHSC...the figures for Corona has only just reached that.

Perspective is needed.




It really is so important to know that there are alternative opinions.

Some people are terrified to come out of lockdown.
