    The 'variant fear' is unfounded. As with SARS-COV 1 the first wave is the most lethal. the second wave more contagious but less lethal. By the 3rd to 5th wave, much more highly contagious like the common cold but not lethal at all except for very old people already close to death and prone to pneumonia. This has been described by epidemiologists who have dealt with SARS-COV 1.

By the way, Steven is a quite astonishingly good interviewer, and only 21!

      @@Ps-cz5fo I think people acquire a kind of learned helplessness. I have been in and out of hospital, and seen family sent home with paracetamol for a broken bone. At some point you kind of have to take your health into your own hands. It's easier said than done, and I'm not criticising, just relating.
      If it is cancer, or suspected to be, immediately stop consuming animal products. It has been shown that the amino acid methionine is like rocket fuel for cancer, and is highest in animal products, and highest still in fish and chicken. While red and processed meat were classed group 1 and 2 carcinogens by the World Health Organization. When vegan blood was dripped on cancer cells, it fought the cancer around 8 times better than non-vegans blood.
      I could post a lot of other stuff but you get the idea. Check out NutritionFacts youtube channel. Animal product consumption is actually not only the cause of the worlds biggest killer of humans, heart disease, also diabetes, dementia, and many cancers. So it's really worth doing proper research on the subject.

    Sadly, "rolling over" sums things up perfectly. People didn't put up the slightest fight to defend their civil liberties. The government has noted this and so will not hesitate to repeat the exercise whenever it suits them.
    I'm sorry to say this, but I think the only way that UK governments will think twice about doing this again is if someone goes postal and is successful in taking out the PM and some of his ministers, or maybe some of their families. Unless it is very clear that tyranny carries a very high price then our liberties and freedoms are no longer safe.
    And let us never forget that these freedoms and liberties have always been won at the point of a sword. Magna Carta was not something the King signed willingly, and parliament, which has now betrayed us, was made a strong institution by cutting off the head of another king.

    Much of what is narrowly termed “politics” and current (Fauchian) “crisis management” seems to rest on a longing for certainty even at the cost of honesty, for an analysis which, once given, need not be re-examined.

    Steven is a very good interviewer and Lionel a wise woman. Vaclav Havel, former Czech President, talked about virtue signalling by people in his post totalitarian society. Selfies and virtue signalling work well together. It works via laws, social psychologists, propoganda, media all aimed at the population in totalitarian control. His book - Power of the Powerless is worth reading, written in 1978. He says political and economic changes won’t reform anything - what we need is “profound existential and moral changes in society”. It is individuals that need to live within the truth, not blindly accept this lie.

      @@RkristinaTay Nobody loves lockdowns, Nell. That's a ridiculous statement. You could say that some power hungry people could use it as a means of control, but the truth is that most leaders for the past year have been too reluctant to accept it as an efficient way to combat the pandemic. Take Boris Johnson. Turns out in Octobre of last year he was screaming and shouting at Downing Street that he would never ever allow another lockdown. He had to come to terms with it anyway and listen to science... I admit: authoritarian governments like China have it much easier imposing a lockdown because they do not have to face any opposition, but that doesn't mean the lockdown is a bad thing in itself. It is a tool that can be abused.
      Democratic governments usually have to resort to other means to rally the mob: panem et circenses, bread and circuses. At that's just the problem isn't it? The restaurants (bread) and festivals (circuses) are the things that they have to take away from people if they issue a lockdown. Is it any wonder that they hesitate a bit to impose another one?
      I dare say that people are being much more manipulated and pacified like tame sheep when life is back to normal and everybody is happy again with all the entertainment and opulence around. When people are deprived of this, there's much more discontentment, bringing our leaders in a far more insecure position...
