Anyone who now has any opinion which questions the groupthink that is being heavily promoted by the government and mainstream media in relation to how we should behave during this pandemic, is now being branded a conspiracy theorist and even labelled in the most derogatory terms!

It goes beyond anti-maskers and is including links to anything that contradicts the prevailing general consensus that just falls into line with whatever we are being told. It’s as if any such views are being quietly airbrushed by the main social media platforms as well.
Recently I tried accessing a news item that featured prominently during the summer last where the WHO’s U.K. ambassador on visiting the U.K. heavily criticised governments for using repeated lockdowns as a first response to a pandemic. I simply couldn’t find anything about it!
Nor could I find the name of that ambassador who said it even though I checked the names of all WHO representatives/spokespersons. Strange one!
Local radio presenters have been constantly bringing on selected so called experts at busting the myths around this pandemic and labelling as Covididiots everyone who has a separate opinion as in denial that there is a serious virus around or a conspiracy theorist.
The BBC is no exception to grooming public opinion in favour of accepting that we must put our brain to sleep and stay indoors period. There is huge public disquiet at what our governments are up to. People of all ages are unhappy but not prepared to air their views too much.
We are being sold an Orwellian solution that repeatedly staying indoors when told to will eradicate every wave of this virus and getting vaccinated will stop its transmission. But what about if it is still around next winter?
Will our government pay for more annual vaccinations or just lock us in and them move to going into our homes, testing and removing to quarantine anyone who is testing positive for the virus?
This is a likely scenario as governments become more desperate or deliberate in controlling us to deal with this public health threat. Yet the U.K. government has avoided since very beginning of this pandemic dealing with the point of entry of this virus and its variants!
Yet here we are allowing foreign students, business travellers and others on daily flights into and out of our airports. This is a recipe for disaster and one which contradicts the whole point of containing this virus. Meanwhile entire local populations are being locked down.
We are also cultivating a tsunami of mental health issues across entire age groups including children and the elderly and anyone with underlying health conditions who are terrified of catching the virus. This threatens to overshadow the threat from this virus in multiple terms.
Children are in danger of not acquiring certain emotional and social skills that are necessary for relating to others and forming stable relationships later on in life when this pandemic is no longer around or will there be others with equally draconian restrictions put in place?
We are not in any new normal or anything that is tolerable or acceptable in the long term yet here we are in the middle of a third wave of infections and our government hasn’t a clue how to deal with it yet is stripping away our human rights and the media are silent on it! 🤷‍♂️

Long thread: Because I couldn’t find anything comprehensive, I’m just going to post everything I’ve seen in the news/Twitter about Trump’s activities related to the Jan 6th insurrection. I think the timing & context of his actions/inactions will matter a lot for a senate trial.

12/12: The earlier DC protest over the electoral college vote during clearly inspired Jan 6th. On Dec 12th, he tweeted: “Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA.”


12/19: Trump announces the Jan. 6th event by tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Immediately, insurrectionists begin to discuss the “Wild Protest.” Just 2 days later, this UK political analyst predicts the violence


12/26-27: Trump announces his participation on Twitter. On Dec. 29, the FBI sends out a nationwide bulletin warning legislatures about attacks https://t.co/Lgl4yk5aO1


1/1: Trump tweets the time of his protest. Then he retweets “The calvary is coming” on Jan. 6!” Sounds like a war? About this time, the FBI begins visiting right wing extremists to tell them not to go--does the FBI tell the president? https://t.co/3OxnB2AHdr
I am going to take the context for this thread from this piece by my good brother @mabziz in 2018-3 years ago. One thing I am so perturbed about is the response of our Attorney General's office to issues of state security. I have no personal grouse against @MalamiSan, but


2. I do have a professional grouse against him. I feel he is not alive to his duties. I feel that he is also not empowering his Director of Public Prosecutions or his Solicitor General. There is clearly a lot that befuddles me and this is because I am a seasoned lawyer and can't/

3. understand why law is not being used as the instrument it was designed for-to enforce law and order. Let us take the case of Nnamdi Kanu-this man was arraigned in Nigeria on a charge of treason/treasonable felony-he was on bail & he jumped bail. Why has he not been extradited?

4. Is it that Kanu is somehow bigger than Nigeria? What has happened to his surety who failed to produce him? Who is prosecuting him? Our Federal Ministry of Justice? Should Malami not explain to Nigeria why Nnamdi Kanu is still taunting Nigeria daily & still actively destroying/

5. our unity everyday. He is putting the lives of many people at risk and stoking ethnic dissent easily. The Fulani herdsmen dilemma, the burning of Lagos State and his coordination of same on phone-in radio channels, his videos are all stoking a Yoruba/Igbo carnage. Same with/
