Here is what we've seen during the pandemic : where does it take us ?
Theres been Boris’s spending spree, his net zero agenda and the housing shortage.
What dont we Brits like? ID cards, a govt that tells us what to think or wear, officials who interfere with our choice of partner.
What's happening next? digital IDs connecting health and financial data; bitcoin tracking all or incomes and expenses as the basis for a social credits scheme; well be tracked using our phone signals ("contact
tracing" of course); travel bans at the first sign of a new
virus to encourage spending at home; furlough and massive state support through every economic downturn; work from home orders, remote schooling
and lockdowns for a bad flu season to “save the NHS”; the national debt will reach Italian amounys ; but no tax reform or supply-side tax cuts ; definitely no shrink the state.
We used to assume that if it wasnt forbidden, it was allowed ; now we go go snivelling to see if we can. What we are sering is a rapid and petmanent loss of individual freedom, in favour of collective-thinking ; with a loss I'd guess of entrepreneurship and dare-do and innovation (science) - already The Woke is shutting down ambition and achievement for irrelevent moral considerations of so-called white supremacy.
With inflation following these stimuli and interest rate ruses following inflation, we risk losing our currency and seeing mass poverty.
Perhaps the most serious is the stabdardisation of education ; with grade inflation, devaluing exams replaced with tezchers' personal assessments and consequent corruption.
