What about a vaccine against unemployment?

There is no secret about the fact that more than 250,000 people lost their jobs in the United Kingdom since the start of the Covid-19 saga, but lets not forget that many companies like Debenhams and Arcadia were facing tough choices long before Covid-19 became item number one on the news. 

Hardly a single sector has been left untouched by the new realities. We have been bombarded with messages that have made vast segments of the British population extremely afraid. For the moment there is little hope of life being what it was before Covid-19. Britain is like a car running on an empty tank. Much needed social interaction is in very short supply and what before was normal can now be considered to be a criminal activity.

How anxious do you feel? How depressed do you feel? What makes you happy and makes feel that your life is worth living? Financial issues produce a huge impact on peoples' lives. Suddenly, your world becomes very small. You cannot do this and you cannot do that. When 'I can't afford it' becomes the norm rather than the exception, the words 'dead end' come to mind.

The rise of the numbers of people suffering from some kind of mental illness is one of the direct consequences of the Covid-19 saga. Lockdown measures are not good for the economy, but lets remember that our mental health and physical health are also being compromised.

Targetted assassinations: Murdering an Iranian scientist is not a step towards peace

We usually hear people talking about the 1930s and 1940s. Well, the 1930s and 1940s have not left us. We are in the 1930s and 1940s. Political radicalisation. streets turned into battlefields, education centres transformed into indoctrination centres, corrupt Judiciary, politicized Police forces and targetted political assassination.

Social disintegration, economic stagnation and massive intrusion into peoples' private lives are a recipe for disaster. When those running a country like Israel think that it is acceptable and desirable to kill a foreign scientist in his own country of birth then triggers appear. As action is followed by reaction, this is just the beginning of a tit for tat progression because of which nobody is safe.

The virus of social disintegration is spreading faster than Covid-19. Wars within nations will be followed by wars between nations. Police brutality is also spreading and in countries like France the state of disarray is so obvious that the French government thinks that the best solution is to put the rubbish under the carpet by trying to hide abuses of authority. The French government is seeking to criminalise those who tell the truth about what is actually happening in France. Liberté, égalité and fraternité are no more. They have been replaced by water cannons and naked aggression. 

The spirit of Lessez-faire, lessez-passer used to justify the assassination of a foreign scientist means that killing is alright because it justifies the ends. This will also apply to what happens within countries. Democracy in handcuffs.

Western World: Things are going dramatically wrong and there is very little leadership on the horizon

Things are going dramatically wrong. All we see is chaos, division and confrontation. Balance is missing and people are taking to the streets. It won't be long before civil strife erupts and becomes widespread. The old certainties are no more and the political establishments offer no options, but the options to try and save themselves at the expense of everbody else.

Millions of eyes are watching as the Western World collapses and minds are thinking about replacing the old centres of power. Money is no longer a tool for power when money can be made by printing trillions of worthless banknotes. The real power is the power of disruption as businesses go bust and with them go the dreams of economic recovery and political stability.

Whether Covid-19 is a biological weapon or isn't a biological weapon is beside the point. The damage done to the Western World is now irreversible. Little will be as it was before. Societies have changed. Mass consumption as the main driver of the Western World is going down. People are now focusing on essentials that they need for survival. Whether the elites still buy stuff that no one actually needs is irrelevant. The masses are the real engine of economies across the world. If the consumption habits of the masses change, the world changes.

Covid-19 is not just killing individuals. Covid-19 is killing the Western World and Western World values. The mobs are not interested in the rule of law. The mobs have their own laws that are making peaceful coexistence virtually impossible. 

The political establishments have been shown for what they are: nothing more than money grabing scoundrels that protect their privileges while the rest fall apart. Democracy never was more than a word used to fool billons of people across the world.. The difference is that now we can clearly see Democracy as a fake product of mass manipulation created to protect vested interests.

Royal biographer: family feud worse than we thought

The Daily Mail publishes today an article in which it is clearly stated that the Royal family feud is 'worse that we thought' and the latest example came on Remembrance Day when Prince Harry's request for a wreath to be laid on his behalf at the Cenotaph was rejected. On the same article it is stated that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was not informed about the request and therefore it is logical to conclude that somedy else made the decision to reject Prince Harry's request. If the Monarch herself was not informed then Queen Elizabeth II is Monarch only by name. Prince Harry has been classed as expendable.

The time is coming when a new King will be rising to the throne. Who will it be? Charles or William? If the Monarchy is supposed to represent family values, William would be the new King, because Charles got married and continued an adulterous relationship with Camila - a married woman. 

The Royal Family has come to represent many of the things that are wrong in Britain.

Diana and Camila: A PR exercise that wasn't going to last

 

Once again, an old affair that happened in 1995 is being brought back to public attention. The whole issue was about the fact that Charles and Camila - a married woman - had been an issue for a very long time, but Camila could not possibly be the mother of the heirs to the throne. Therefore, they found a nice face and used her as a cow to procreate the heirs that the Monarchy needed.

I reckon that the greatest humiliation for a  young woman was the knowledge that she would be second to an older adulterous married woman that had children of her own.
She played her role to perfection becoming an icon to embellish the image of a Monarchy that rested on the shoulders of a single man. The charade could not last. Fed up of being second fiddle, she went out in search of her own life. The interview with Bashir didn't reveal anything that wasn't public knowledge already. She was the pretty face for the cameras while Charles and Camila were at it. 

What angered the Establishment was not the fact that there were affairs. What angered the Establishment is that the interview exposed in public for all to see what had been going on. They set out to destroy her and the paparazzi were just the tool to led her to an abrupt end. After a public display of crocodile tears, they brought in Camila as the wife of the heir to the throne.

William was trained to play his role and Harry was left in the cold. When Harry met Meghan, thyey mounted yet another PR exercise. Meghan was a single woman who had her own life and was not willing to play second fiddle. When Meghan publicly showed that she was not going to play by the old rules, they turned against Meghan. 

Who is behind yet another attemp to rubbish the image of Diana? Diana died in 1997, so they turned against the journalist that interviewed her in 1995.

Health Lockdown and Economic Lockdown: A catch 22 situation

There is no easy way out of the present Covid-19 crisis. This is not just about physical health. It is also psychological health. But the situation is much more complex than that. There is no guarantee that after the national lockdown starting on October 4th until December 2nd 2020 the country will be any better healthwise.

As the economy sinks to new depths, Britain is on the brink of total collapse and political tensions are rising. There is no magic recipe to get Britain out of this mess. When we think about terrorism, we think about weapons and explosives, but a biological attack is deadlier than any other means of aggression. Nobody could foresee that a viral infection that started in Wuhan, in China, thousands of miles away could cause what Covid-19 is causing right now.

During the Blitz, Britain lost 32,000 civilians and more than 80,000 civilians were seriously injured. This has the potential to be much worse than the Blitz. All traces of normality are disappearing.

Labour Party: Keir Starmer cannot have the cake and eat it?

So Keir Starmer says that Jeremy Corbyn is not anti-Semitic. Well, why did he suspend Jeremy Corbyn in the first place? Has this statement have something to do with MPs talking about leaving the Labour Party and becoming independents? He wanted the Leadership and used the anti-Semitism argument to push Jeremy Corbyn aside. Now, he realises that he could become the Leader of a political party that could have less MPs than the SNP. The Labour Party lost MPs because of the Brexit argument. After that, the Labour Party lost much of its heartland MPs. If Keir Starmer cannot bring the Labour Party together, the next General Election would be a walkover. It is not the first time the Labour Party finds itself facing a political divorce and the outcome could be very similar.

If after the verdict of the verdict on anti-Semitism blaming the office of Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer states that 'Jeremy Corbyn is not anti-Semitic' then the charges fall on the shoulders of those who supported Jeremy Corbyn. This is like stating that Jeremy Corbyn was a bad leader that was completely unaware of what was being done by those close to him.

If after stating the Jeremy Corbyn is not anti-Semitic Jeremy Corbyn remains suspended, then who is a bad leader? It would mean that Keir Starmer is ready and willing to sacrify innocent people. If Jeremy Corbyn's suspension is annuled then other heads would have to roll to fit the ruling according to the charges made against the office of Jeremy Corbyn. Jeremy Corbyn might not be willing to shoot himself in the foot by destroying his power base. Either way, it would mean admitting that his political career is over because this is exactly the outcome that awaits him if he turns against his own supporters.

This is a lose-lose situation for both Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer. A Leadership Election would have to be called to bring in other alternatives and this includes somebody with a profile high enough to stand up in a General Election and to solve the Labour Party's internal problems.
