The word unprecedented has been recited a lot over the past few years. To describe the bush fires in Australia that happen every year. To describe protests that happened on January 6th despite nothing being burnt down or looted like the in the ones that happened all the year prior. However, it was never a term used to describe lockdown mandates, mask wearing, distancing. Even more so, it's never been used to describe the strange bedfellows of Etonian prime minister Boris Johnson and the unions. Was the unprecedented fact that they merged and agreed in such a way across the board, all based on science? The Danmask study would disagree. The latest figures from largely open Sweden's covid cases vs the rest of europe would also dispute this. But how then do such historically opposed groups agree and use the same selection bias when citing their sources that lead to the inevitable despair and powerlessness of lockdowns? The irony being the stress these measures have caused making anyone's immune system more susceptible to attack. The elephant, literal elephant in the room is the obesity epidemic that neither group talk about. Why don't they touch on this if public health is their primary concern? How about the average age of covid deaths being less than the average age of death of all causes? If this was the case and their handpicked science did add up, it may be cause for rejoice that such groups were able to throw out an olive branch to each other.
When did they come to meet in the middle? A timeline may be useful here. Before the first lockdown in 2020, Boris was staunchly for herd immunity. Then it seems the National education union, NEU, pressured him to lockdown via threats to strike. The lockdown that ended the day after schools were due to go on holiday. Pure coincidence? The 2nd lockdown happened after the same NEU promoted the circuit breaker theory. The 3rd after 400,000 members met during a zoom meeting and threatened another strike. Is their incentive to do such damage to the public purely self interest? Purely to maintain their position? This, I would suggest is a trait the head soy-cialists share with the Etonian mess.
The need to keep themselves in power. Mr Brexit, with a love of Churchill may have a lot of explaining to do. Not least to do with his green yoko pulling the strings, but also because of his' caving to the heads of these unions. We have honed in on the wrong enemy. The unionists have form with this attitude of keep our positions and screw the public interests.
Arthur scargill and the KGB.
The Romanian socialist dictator Ceaucescu started the disinformation directorate, an idea he took from Hitler's playbook. A dissenter refused his orders of killing those listed in the directorate and fled to the USA. He named several agents who had come to the West with the purpose of weakening it. He also knew the dates one of those charged with causing unrest in the West, planned to trigger strikes. Thanks to his information these strikes were thwarted. Let's not be mistaken, like the majority of current union members, the miners were good, hard working people.
Are there examples of unions using their power for good? In the case of the workers of England (Wales etc.) Union, yes. For other examples use my litmus test of what makes a movement valid and not a group of grifters, can they tell you their end goal? Ending lockdown measures and mandates is the answer in the case of the workers of England union. Should they persist beyond this goal, I would start asking questions.
As we've seen with movements such as Greenpeace, the current unions and Mr scargills nefarious plans, standing behind benevolent claims while advancing their own agenda has been a lot of unions modus operandi for a while now. We need to speak truth to power whether that power is an Etonian mess or power driven soycialists masquerading as a grass roots union. Let's get to a point where we outright ban the unions that have been selfishly motivated and thrown an entire country under the bus. Get to the point where the public can see the truth and make these, like any movement, justify their position both stance and salary-wise.
Let's see which happens first, Boris growing some balls, the heads of the Soycialist power grabs fessing up or the truth exposing them both.
