I don't know what's more laughable......the Covid deaths of over 100,000 or the unemployment figure of 1.7 million. When Grampian region released figures of 15 confirmed Covid deaths via a FOI (Freedom Of Information notice) with a population of 500,000), if replicated around the country would put the national figure around 1,950, which is probably the true figure. I'm sure the government is fudging the unemployment figures by use of apprenticeships and 'interns' (my daughter has a 6 month 'internship' at Tesco's......after the six months....who knows?). I expect the true figure is somewhere around 3 - 4 million but is being hidden by furlough and these sorts of schemes. I'm wondering if Johnson has looked so dishevelled a lately not because of the deaths, but because his Masters have told him when the financial crisis is about to hit.......I reckon in less than two months. Surely this is the reason why the whole of Europe is going under curfew? What difference does curfew make to the spread of a disease? None, but control of the population during financial meltdown, is crucial in staving off the ravages of civil war.
Make sure your cupboards are fully stocked and don't plan on going anywhere this year......I don't think you'll get the fuel.
I think they will have all vaccines ready to eliminate us by them.
Estimated 11 million when furlough ends .
Even I didn't put it that high.....Christ, at 5 million the civil unrest would be difficult to maintain.....at 11 million.....it would be civil war.....no doubt about it, as people would ignore all the societal norms and basically help themselves to your stuff.
@Gary Uckfield well I’m not so sure about that . I come from clapton hackney and riots have been around through my whole life . Vast majority people angry ,They target high st shops etc loot . They do battle with the police . This could be different. I get the feeling people will not destroy there own community,s so could head in to towns centres etc etc
in London I could see a lot of problems for BO JO if he’s still here . I think downing st etc will all be attacked . Not sure what the outcome will be how we move forward after though . It a lottery .
Daily telegraph back in April ,cost of the first lockdown
‘11 million out of work by summer’
More than 8m workers will be furloughed adding to unemployment figures, research suggests
so in reality 11 million is probably a underestimate.
fuk knows what’s going to happen but I predict a riot or two . This year is going to be worse.
vaccine of not . Holland is a taste of what’s coming to the rest of Europe ,it’s going to be a hot fukimg summer .....lockdowns etc no chance of working by then.
let me point this out again for my fellow UK citizens
army is less than 100.000 ,and a lot of those are not foot soldiers
London has a population of nearly 9 million, think about the other big city’s
The police 123 .000 including transport police that’s the whole of the UK
massive fuckery that cannot be stopped . Let’s hope it will all be aimed in the right direction ......
