Off Topic For the first time ever ...

... I feel things are out of control.

Excuse me if I'm alone, in thinking this way, but I can't seem to get a grip.

In recent days I've been told, by decent ordinary people, that Russia makes thousands of daily internet attacks on the UK, that Trump truly believes the virus is just the flu and by some that it's manufactured by the Chinese to destroy our society.

I hate conspiracy theories but I'm worried. We have a building sense of anarchy on the streets, terrorists are attacking us in our beds and the government sneers at the electorate.

My question is, we keep being told about progress but ...

.... are we actually making any and, if so, where?

End of this civilisation is coming within next 100 years imo

Or at least another war I think this Covid is already the start tbh.

100% man made and tbf if I wanted to go to the war with the west I'd start off by knacking their economy.

Then you want to turn the public against each other for civil unrest (look what's happening now) until they turn on each other and all leadership and control is out window.

Once that is done swoop in and finish job.

The planet has had a brief period where it's started to recover ...

... now the airlines are pushing for uninhibited flights to start again.

Yes let's destroy the planet so stag nights can tie some idiot to a lamp post in Prague

Have you seen the pictures in China and Thailand of pre and post lock downs?

Can actually see blue skies and buildings not just smog.

new world order, agenda 21, georgia stones, fema camps, implanted devices, cashless society....been 'tin foil hat' stories for years but all coming together now along with plenty of distractions to keep us 'lowly subjects' occupied.

at some point, people will realise but by then it will be too late.

I don't mind being one of the lower orders, it's always suited me fine.

But I no longer believe we have a government that either cares or really knows what it's doing.

Trump isn't an ally I feel comfortable with and feel he could drag us into something nasty.

Europe is messy but it was like having a mad extended family, with mad uncles, who would look after you if things went wrong.

I feel like we're adrift and the skipper doesn't know his aft from his stern ...

... the crew would push him overboard at the first opportunity.

Iceberg!!!

100% this.

I had no concerns over whether central Europe were our allies or whether they were going to drag us into wars we didn't want. I also believe that even after we leave the EU if we get embroiled in some expensive war or our economy goes to sh!t we'd get more genuine help from the likes of France and Germany than we would from the USA (who put themselves 1st, 2nd and 3rd at all times). Trump can say what he likes, he'd shaft us for any measly amount that was going and tell us how great a deal it was at the same time.

I think we're living in crazy times like and it's only going to get crazier imo. I'm fully expecting to see further social disorder as the gap between the haves and have nots grows ever wider as well as increasing international conflicts over resources, namely oil, gas and especially water. And I think as a reaction to living in an ever more uncertain world, more countries will go like China, Russia and Turkey and will end up with some form of dictatorship as government.

Yes mate, but what about FPP

World is going crazy mate. Hard not to let it effect you. It's effecting me.

Flip side, it really makes you appreciate your inner bubble of Family and friends. The last line of my faith in humanity. The darkness shown from people as close as equintences has been quite scary, but those trusted and closest bring a flicker light, and that's where you can find progress.

Thanks mate. Lap top is knackered and my shovel hands do not work well with modern phones. I'll stick my head in more often when I have a proper keyboard to type on.

Hope you're keeping well.

I’m fascinated by the Russia thing.

Encroaching airspace, literally teasing other powerful countries almost saying ‘what the **** your gonna do about it?’

They are like a big black cloud everyone sees out the window but doesn’t want to point out.

They are historically quite pally with the Chinese of course, if conspiracies were to start forming..

They took a sub into our waters not long ago without permission. Dodgy as **** imo
