Nine reasons why

[TwoWhalesInAPool]

THE prime minister has decided to take a massive gamble with Britain’s health by ending all restrictions as cases are soaring. But why?

He feels lucky
Like any tuxedo-wearing posh boy in a casino, Boris feels like Lady Luck is on his arm and he can’t lose. Because he’s never lost. Because he’s posh.

He’s impatient
He had big plans for being prime minister and they’ve all been put on hold by this bloody pandemic. Time to get it done like Brexit. The cost doesn’t matter. Someone else will pay.

He’s like Churchill
Did Churchill say we should hide in our houses until the Nazis are gone? No, and he’s the British hero who inspired an insurance dog. Are Nazis and a novel coronavirus different? Yes, but forget that.

The science sort of allows it
As Professor Chris Whitty muttered while staring at his shoes yesterday, if you squint at the science a certain way it sort of backs this up, a bit, as long as you’re prepared to accept the deaths. Which Boris is.

Europe’s being cautious
If Europe’s being cautious then it’s Britain’s duty to be suicidally reckless. That’s what we voted for in 2016. If this pays off we’ll have made them look right dicks.

America’s doing it
The UK is a proud, independent nation that should do everything exactly like America does. And they’re not locking down therefore we shouldn’t. Fvck Australia. Cowards.

A new British variant could conquer the world
What a boost for global Britain if the petri-dish of our nation creates a ground-breaking new Covid variant that makes Delta look like nothing. What a symbol for our buccaneering nation.

The nutters are rising
Specifically the nutters within the Tory party, who’ve had enough of fighting a virus that doesn’t even acknowledge Thatcherite free-market principles and doesn’t deserve respect.

He’ll be fine
If there’s one thing Boris knows, it’s that he’ll emerge unscathed from pretty much any massive fvck-up he cares to make and nobody will blame him. So why not?

Massive gamble lol

Boris is an asshole, true, but we should never have been in the position of locking down in the first place.
Was an over-reaction which will be shown much later in the future to be one of the most foolish things to ever happen.

Unless you want to cripple an economy, put millions on the pay roll of the government (Waiting for UBI)
And print money for the new MMT.

Which is probably the case lol

Just look at the laws passed by government fiat whilst we are under "Emergency"
Vast majority have nothing to do with Covid but, being under Emergency legislation do not get debated in parliament.

Gambling with our lives is a joke.

It's all about perception. Boris Johnson is seen as this lovable, charming, big cuddly teddy bear with this big personality.
Donald Trump perfected that style of presenting himself as just an average guy who worked hard and became a success. But what Trump has is that big personality and aura that people gravitate to. He can show humour, just like Boris Johnson can. It's an attractive quality if you can make people laugh and feel invested in what you're doing.
Biden has that quality to a certain extent, and Obama was someone who looked, talked, and acted the part. He was visually appealing to an audience, which drew millions of people to vote for him in 2008, and then be re-elected in 2012.

Politics is 99% perception 1% instruction.
For at least 2 decades the UK government has been openly "Told" what to do by the Cabinet/Home office.
In the USA Trump was seen as the antidote to that, however he realised he couldn't fight the established bureaucracy and just rolled over.

It's simple, look at the G7 and the G20 meetings we have had lately, how much of the discussions taken there are becoming law in countries that did not vote for the measures.

Look at UN resolutions, again for which we have no vote.
Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, usually spouted as a "Globalist Agenda", conspiracy theories...
Look at the financial data of your own councils, where I live, Agenda 21/30 actually have funding and departments, in plain sight if one looks at the budgeting documents.

Let's play a simple Thought Experiment.

So, during this "Pandemic" the main point of contact is PHE (Public Health England) the one stop shop for NHS news.
Now, if you wanted to control that news, that narrative, how would you control it.

Perhaps roll it into and organisation which is obliged to follow the Official Secrets Act?
So, perhaps one could create a national security apparatus for biosecurity, maybe like the Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC)
Which was established 1 June 2020.

Then replace PHE with another intelligence based apparatus for monitoring say, test and trace data.
The "UK Health Security Agency" (UKHSA) established 1 April 2021.

Like I said, a thought experiment, but the JBC and UKHSA exist..

Definitely not a boring time to be alive lol

Thats actually true, we all do

Boris and Trump saw the realities they wish to see.
Biden see's the reality as he is told it.

Which is more dangerous, I don't know.

Biden is much more dangerous than Trump was, he has no clue what he is doing.
He's been a politician all his life and trusts the system, but he hasn't got the mental faculties to make complex judgement calls today.

What we really need to do is get rid of the party politics whip and action groups/lobbyists.
That would ensure MP's would actually listen to their voters, because if they didn't, they wouldn't get a ticket next election.

Boris and Trump have dual personalities .
Boris comes across as a joker and it appears he has yet to make his mind up on what's going on and what he's supposed to be doing about it.
Besides that there's another personality lurking in the background.

Trump has grown into a very fked up individual - He's changed a lot personality wise over the past decades and has become someone who can't be trusted.
The guy is not fit for office in my opinion.

Obama seems to be as you say.
Similar to Clinton in many ways (minus the affairs).

Biden is not fked up like Trump, but he'll put you in your place if you mess with him.

Nothing wrong with Biden? What about the Clintons? Check out Christopher Hitchen's story about Bill Clinton being one of the coldest Presidents he's ever witnessed. I don't think we can honestly say that any of these people aren't "fked up" as you say. I believe you have to have psychopathic tendencies to take up the job as President. I know for one that i wouldn't be able to sleep at night if i had sent drone strikes in Syria, killing countless innocent people.

Marina Hyde nailed it when she wrote ‘he desperately wanted to become prime minister, and he desperately wanted to have been prime minister. It’s just the bit in between he struggles with’. He is just bumbling along, he doesn’t genuinely care, in a year or so he will be gone to seek his fortune.
