"Anyone see the latest govt add telling us to stay at home and obeying the rules Im not a conspiracy theorist but it has the feels of what Orwell wrote about i must admit i'm not seeing the parallel myself, what bit of the book are you referring to? " The erosion of basic individual liberties. Enforced, monitored, controlled behaviour and the handing of wholesale power to the State were key themes of 1984. So was the prohibition of unapproved sexual encounters. Slightly relevant on account of the newly approved legislation. | |||

"Any one walking the streets or going to a normal job needs to see a doctor!! Your brain dead .." some have to work because SSP won't pay the bills or feed the family. If you're boss won't lay you off you can't claim you're 80% some people have to live in the real world. | |||

"Anyone see the latest govt add telling us to stay at home and obeying the rules Im not a conspiracy theorist but it has the feels of what Orwell wrote about " Yes, in a milder form. Maybe ONE of the reasons Boris avoided diving into a draconian style of controling the situation. He didn't want that comparison If people don't conform at low level control "The Party" will step it up. Personally I would have preferred a faster action on this crisis. There were so many warning signs. Some obvious, some more deeper. What I would like to know is what our Intel people were doing and not picking this crisis up sooner. Wouldn't the germ warfare people be looking out for this even if isn't a man made weapon. | |||

"We should always be suspicious of the government restricting or removing liberties, especially if they have form for not always reinstating them. Major crises have people confused, scared, overwhelmed etc, when they have diminished potential to fully understand the comprehensive implications of what is done to them, may actually mean. In this instance, we have a 6 month review period. It's easy to see how an unscrupulous administration could abuse its citizens trust during a period of extreme crisis, so it is right that citizens are able to criticise and retain sufficient personal sovereignty and freedom. " I'm still not sure why they felt the need to have a two year period on the new executive powers? It seems at this time the govt is intent on flexing its muscles a bit? I think it's actually Jeremy Corbyn who thankfully insisted on the six month review period. | |||

"1984 is statistically the most likely book for people to lie about having read...so who's read it then? hahaha" Yes. Very good book with a serious message. I however think Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is closer to how the population is controlled though. | |||

"The advert I am referring to is the one headed by government doctor Chris Whitty who himself has coronavirus. Ordering us to stay at home..not to meet anyone outside etc etc It just has an eerie feel about it" I find it very ironic someone telling us how to stay safe when they have the virus themselves. He looks like he has a nasty virus too | |||
