My self employed entertainment business lost all it's bookings on 22nd March 2020 and i didn't qualify for any of the support schemes due to not fitting the cirteria. Now surviving on Tax Credits with my savings dwindling away. Can't get conventional employment due to personal issues, hence going SE in the first place. At my witts end on how I'm going to make ends meat in the next few months. Yes, i know I'm not alone, but that does not stop me dwelling on my own situation. Then to read the articale that leisure venues will have to close, and people won't be allowed to mingle when the schools return, was the final straw. How the hell is anyone in the service sector supposed to survive? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53621613

Stuart Harrison - I wish I could help you. So many people in the same boat. The toll taken on people's mental and physical health is enormous. Mine included. I can't go back to my vocation either, and I'm one of those left by the wayside by the NHS along with so many others.There's hardly anybody dying of the virus anymore, but you still can't see a doctor or get a hospital admission.
Thanks for the reply dude.
I've had a lot of ups and downs in the last 5 years. Loosing my full-time job, then struggling to find another due to personal issues. Self employment became the answer. Turned my hobby into a little business. I was happy working part time and being quite active with martial arts. But the sheeple demanding a lockdown took all that away from me. My anxiety is through the roof because what I'd worked so hard for had been taken in one Bojo speach. Now I've got some more upset in my life ontop of all this lockdown shit.
Hope you manage to get your health issues sorted bud. This shouldn't be happening. There's definately some kind of plan to thin the population at the older and disabled end and prevent new births. The working classes around the world fort two world wars to put an end to such crimes against humaditiy. Only for world governments to behave like Hitler on a scale never seen before.
Stuart Harrison - My Dad was in the French Resistance. He was tortured by the Germans to get information. I have seen his scars. He's dead now, but his fighting spirit lives on in me. As I can't go to work, I spend most of my time on here and on other platforms like it trying to spread the word. I'm in one of those areas in East Lancashire that has hardly a virus case, but have been locked up by Boris anyway. Good job we take no bloody notice of him! One day he's going to take one step too far. You can see the cracks starting to appear, that's why he's ramping things up big time to keep the pressure on. A blind man can see it. Finally, if you haven't subscribed to Lockdown Sceptics they are a mega website, and send out newsletters most days. They tell you what's really going on! Best wishes - from Grumpy xx ( you get an on-line kiss as I can't give you a real hug!)
@Stuart Harrison - Your test message came up here no problem.
@Stuart Harrison - This is a fairly new site, and there have been a couple technical hitches recently, especially people being unable to open their notification e-mails. That now seems to be sorted thankfully. If you are having problems either receiving or sending posts, it may be a technical issue. Simon Dolan and his team are good people.There has been a very nasty person on this forum trying to discredit them and our fellow members. Even then, they replied to him with good grace. I'm sure if Simon was unhappy with something you said he wouldn't just censor you without telling you. If you are unhappy with anything please let the KBF Team know. They are approachable ordinary human beings like us and very friendly. It's not somebody anonymous from up on high like YouTube deleting your posts. Even YouTube give you a warning.
@Grumpy Cat It seems to be the people between 40 and 60 that can see the governments for what they are. People under 40 have been blinded by their education. People over 60 are frightened and have put their blind faith into the government. Both groups are prephared to make whatever sacrifises asked of them in the beleif that the measures will end quicker, they will be safe and return to a normal life. Those in the know realise there's sinister things at foot in the world.
Much of this lockdown is purely by public consent. The enforcement of individuals is virtually none existant. If you own a business that trades when ordered to close thats when the law gangs up.
It's amazing how the 6% have control over the masses just through fear of the unknown alone. The tools of the 6% such as Trump, Sturgen and Bojo to name but a few are now carving out their own agenda's. Their sole aim to destroy the fabric of society for the minions, to turn us into dummed down slaves. The ones that are allowed to have interlect will work for lower wages and poorer conditions. Plus they don't want us living beyond our usefulness to the system. So beyond vaccines, access to medical care will be denied. Something which is happening even now. All that without any reward in life such as family, friends and leisure activities. Every part of our lives will be micro managed infuture just to stop any rebelions.
Money, Power and Control
But the people we know of making these decisions craving the money, power and control are in their 70s. People like Gates don't come from established power bases. he seems all powerful with his money and tech, but I just beleive he's a hired hand aiding the 6% long term goals. What's happening now has been planned for decades. But i can't see what its supposed to achieve for the elite who are in the winter of their lives? It goes back to friends of mine who were into politics. They suspected that the families who had been in control of soceity since medievil times are the denisties that hold the true power, control and money today.
We used to have wars to sort out the population, but that resulted in baby booms and boom and bust economies. Gates has offered the solution which stops both.
This thread brings me to tears. I am so angry and upset to hear about your situation. So many people, our fellow brothers and sisters are going to be in this boat. All I can say is - its going to get a hell of a lot worse so pls do anything you can to secure yourself.
I was out the other day with my RF meter and a friend looking for where they are putting up the 5G towers in our area. We went up a country lane and happened upon a few caravans clustered together on the verge. One had an amazing little allotment built onto it. We stopped and ended up having an electrifying talk with the man living there. He understands the difference between law and legal. He has revoked his citizenship. He stands proud and dignified living on the land, self-sufficient. He wasn't a smelly, grungy, aggressive traveller as the Press would like us to believe anyone in a caravan on the side of the road is. He was a freaking example to us of whats possible. I felt humbled. He said that all around the country there is land that is owned by no-one - common land. This land can be claimed and if you know law you can live on it.
Would I go off and do that alone? No because I would wobble as soon as the Police turn up coz I dont know how to spout the law yet. But I tell you what - I am seriously considering looking for a verge near that man. We can grow our own veg, we can keep warm with fires, we can set -up near streams and we can cluster together and look after each other. Where there's a will there's a way.
Thanks for the reply,
Yes, the UK police are complete twats. Doen't matter if you're a reporter, suspect or a con managed in the community, whatever you disclose to them is turned on its head and used against you for whatever agenda they have in mind. From personal experience, they've been no help in trying to sort my life out.
It's horrible that other citizens are suffering too. My dad keeps saying to me, at least you have your health and own your home out right. Others don't have that footing. However, selfishly all I can think of is my own situation. I can't even solve that, so worrying about others seems like an extra burden if that makes sense?
The anxiety is the knowing I'm being hoodwinked by the establishment but like everyone else, I feel powerless to do anything. Once you have no income other that state benefits, they have the upperhand to make life difficult if you don't shut up.
NewMoonMagic - Even if you don't go totally 'off grid', there are still places you can get 'far from the madding crowd'. Where I live the farmer still brings milk to the door and a few people sell eggs from their little chickens. These places are becoming very few and far between in this packed country, but they are still there if you look. In fact, until the 24th of July when masks were enforced in our village, you wouldn't know that Covid19 existed if you didn't read the papers or watch the news. Life just went on as normal. I know I come on these forums and use the Internet, but other than that I am off Boris's radar.
I'm self employed as well and although my business is still open, sales are dwindling. The only thing I can suggest is re-inventing yourself and what you do. There are lots of things you can do as a self employed person. Although I know it's not easy THEY want to kill entrepreneurial spririt. Let it drive you. Don't give up!
I really don't know what to do Bud. I've other issues in my life which make it harder for me to find conventional work. Like you, what I was doing in March took a lot of hard work to get there. The hoops I've had to step through to be allowed an avenue to earn an income were unbelievable. Sorry i don't want to go into my personal life with strangers on an open forum. But they're not struggles I'd want others to experience. I've had no support really from anyone, just hinderance. Now Boris has taken it all away from me, and possibly others in my situation that thought they'd found an answer to get off benefits.
It's hard I know. I am saying re-invent yourself but struggling to do the same. It's only sheer defiance that keeps me going. Hope you find a way.
