We always knew it. Politicians cheat and generally most of the stuff you hear on the News is manipulated and twisted to fit a narrative of some sort. Let's take this morning's fear about Flu shall we. It happens every year unless it was Covid when Flu never happened. In addition I have a feeling it was around 2018 we did have a lot of deaths from Flu and it pretty much surpassed the Covid deaths of a year or two later. No one panicked then but, you know, look it up, it was all on reflection unnecessary and caused more harm than the lives it saved.
SO this morning they were concerned that there could be up to 10,000 cases requiring Hospitalization and it was a major concern to the Dr they wheeled out. There are 145,000 to 165,000 beds in the NHS depending on who you ask. Flu happens every year and yet it always comes as a surprise or a shock etc. Why is that are our administrators and managers so utterly useless that they don't know this? This was my sort of bread and butter at work, risk planing and mitigation it's what you did and what you were paid for.
Then there was some other nonsense during the week of placing illegal immigrants in the audience of Question Time to ask questions in Immigration well actually they are criminals as they came here without papers and crossed illegally so why on earth were they allowed to be with other people in a studio and asking questions that were designed and written for them? But then it's the BBC and I only watch 2 or 3 programmes max on it now. I've almost stopped watching any TV for this reason. You can drive a bus through their arguments and the one sided reporting, once you see it and understand what is happening, is actually sickening and anger making.
Then there are our "politicians". I am old enough to remember when I looked up to politicians and you could generally know which ones were the real deal and which ones were not. Which ones were liars and which ones appeared to be playing a straight bat. Today you'd be very bery very lucky to find one that even gave a 5% truthful answer. There's seems no shame in lying all the time. Giving out false data in an attempt to ram home a point. Getting away with behaviour that they themselves would demand a resignation for and doing it right in your face. If they say one thing you can bet it is the diametric opposite of what they said. Those who would call them out appear to be sidelined or silenced and it isn't just politicians either. Heads of Quangos and Public Utilities get away with it too.
The level of hypocrisy is through the roof, the use of false and misleading "facts" is also a problem but then so is the level of the gullible Joe public. If they aren't lying they are using bully tactics and riding roughshod over the will of the people and just "doing it anyway". It's from the top down and yet no one is getting really angry about it and the media are reporting this stuff as if it is truth in their own quisling way.
Where is the anger and push back or are we letting them just run with the rope? Often that is my preferred option in business, never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake is great to observe as they hoist themselves with their own petard so to speak.
How long before these people are called out and swept away? It's a bit Old Testament wanting them to be overwhelmed by the waters and swept off the face of the Earth but you probably get my overall feelings from that. Let's hope people wake up, start to ask questions, do their own research, work out the facts and realise the pack of lies that they feed us non stop everyday so they can "rule us". Surely it's time to say no and take back control?
