Having worked in the financial sector for some 25 years I can confirm my belief that everything he says about the financial establishment is factual.

That is not necessarily the same as saying he will not be exactly the same if he promotes the sales of actual financial products.

I came to the conclusion quite early on that even under regulatory control those regulations deliberately contained inherent wriggle room that pretty much ensured business as almost usual. The old adage is still true: Let the buyer beware.

A little bit confused by the comments

This has never been about a disease.
It is about control. It is about breaking the current order, and re-setting a new lower standard. And about getting people there without rioting.
If you want a glimpse of what is in store, read Klaus Schwab WEF, listen to Bill Gates and read up on the Russian federation under Stalin and the cultural revolution in China under Mao.
The Marxists killed over 100 million during that period.
If you think it can't be done, better think again.
It has happened countless times in history.

And it is about to happen right in front of our eyes!

Happy to explain if required. Which comments?

That's most odd! I have just clicked the lead you gave and got Hartley-Brewer. Before, I got Nigel Farage talking about his new venture! Weird.

Please feel free to pick as many holes in my arguments as possible. I need someone to tell me it will be much faster than that.----HELP.

By the time the vaccine is available to the general public the country's economy will be dead. The catering,wedding,hospitality and coaching industries will cease to exist,along with the holiday companies.

The current lockdown has meant some businesses being given a £3000 grant, for most this won't cover anywhere near their outgoings for the month they have been forced to keep their doors closed.


And if you think for one minute the current financial destruction of the economy is in any way comparable the the "blip" in 2008, you are living in cloud cuckoo land I'm afraid.


RPWC has not been pessimistic, take it from someone makes their living in the businesses affected by the restrictions being imposed upon them, that the reality is not many will survive, how far for example do you imagine a grant of £3000 goes toward making the payments on a fleet of ten luxury coaches I wonder?


I'd rather run the gauntlet of contracting coronavirus, than exist the in the fashion we are being asked to do so in the current world.

Well, here's the latest 'toe in the water' testing of public opinion before actually making policy.


The Mirror (doubtless a reputable rag, lol) now suggesting that a lockdown break (of sorts) is to be proposed.



"Proposals reportedly being considered by the Government would offer a respite from the strict lockdown restrictions which stop people from different households mixing in most parts of the UK"



I've long since given up following the daily flip-flop of promise, break promise, leaks, suggestions, tabloid headlines made policy, and un-elected policymakers pulling the strings. But did come across this (no, I'm not a mirror reader - or an any newspaper reader).


It's another confirmation that the currently elected (thanks citizens) gov't doesn't know it's [backside] from it's elbow. Not only were we 'sold' on a one month lockdown. That has obviously slipped to lockdown by another name come December. But even then, deciding that a lockdown is necessary, the govt decides to poke a whacking great hole in their own plan.



[NAUGHTY WORD] CLOWNS.



Still perhaps that'll mean more multi-million pound contracts with guaranteed payments regardless of actual delivery to old school chums and sycophants.

It is a very interesting clip and well worth listening to. However, the problem with the number of media outlets now is it's becoming like the Tower of Babel. So much noise everywhere that it becomes confusing and unhelpful and communication fails. Professor Brook may be right, but if he is, it's disturbing that what he's saying is the polar opposite of what the government has been telling us. If we're going to be battered every day by statistics and factoids, one hopes they are really well scrutinised and are correct. At the moment I feel like we have 'lies, damned lies and statistics', and it's beginning to sound like 'blah,blah blah'. Now we're informed the true death rate from Covid is over 70000 and not 50000. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54976362
Just depends on how you interpret the figures. Apparently Vietnam has reported zero deaths from Covid. Can anyone explain that to me, or am I making the endemic mistake of just believing and repeating someone else's unverified factoid? Everyone seems to have different hymn sheets. No wonder the conspiracy theorists are having a field day.

You are not alone. It's the same old story, those that know the truth do not comment because they know they will be ridiculed and anyway it's a fast moving thing.

Those that do comment with nothing to add but blind hope are largely following a favoured source. This because they trust that source despite the obvious bluster in the drive to become a source themselves. There is no commentator that knows the facts, just those that are convinced they must be right.
