I had the inconvenience of having to visit my GP surgery today to fill in a change of address form which apparently I was not able to do over the telephone (ironic that they do their best to keep the sick away but insist I come in for mere paperwork!). Sign outside saying masks still mandatory which I ignored. Got dirty looks from one of the sheep queuing at reception but nobody challenged me. Three staff in there:- one with a rainbow NHS lanyard but no mask complaining about the number of doctors off sick, one with a mask under his chin pushing a trolley and the receptionist behind perspex screens wearing one until she has to speak then slipping it down then back up. I felt like I was observing zoo animals rather than human beings.

In Canada, a sparsely populated nation with consistently long cold winters where electric battery warmers are often needed for regular vehicles, we are being furiously nudged towards electric-only vehicles by every possible media outlet, because of "climate change". Not hybrids, which make more sense for us. But we have not ramped up electricity production in logical anticipation of need, and have very few charging stations OR battery warming facilities (essential for starting the EVs in winter) between far-apart cities, so how are EVs supposed to traverse the long distances between cities and between provinces, especially over the Rockies? Answer: a different nudge to make us stop travelling altogether?

Nudging worked beautifully in the initial March 2020 global lockdowns where the ONLY leader who "followed the science" was the Health Minister of Sweden, Anders Tegnell. And that was ONLY because at the time under Swedish law the politicians couldn't control his decisions.

Ohhh ... this nudging BS irritates me no end. It is so insidious and I’ve encountered it recently in situations that have nothing to do with Covid. I resent being lectured to by some government/corporate entity that doing whatever is for everyone’s welfare. I’ll make up my own mind, thank you very much, and if I decide to do it - emphasize on “I” - I will. Where can I find a copy of that poster?

Let's assume best intentions, which is a bit of a stretch to put it mildly.
I can understand kneejerk reactions at the outset, such as emergency hospitals, even two weeks to flatten the curve and masks ( although we didn't have enough anyhow ), but after a couple of months what we are looking at is catastrophic ineptitude.
Let's be clear, it is a failure of the whole cabinet AND the opposition leadership.
I'm sure I'm not alone in recognising that when you are making huge policy decisions with widespread consequences you ACTIVELY SEEK OUT the bad news (policy blunder) & possible consequences and if you are the one with the bad news you make sure your CEO is fully aware of it.
This didn't happen, it seems our PM was nudged all the way and the cabinet were no more use than nodding dogs.
Don't get me wrong, I understand that the 'average' person would likely not speak up in these circumstances, but if we keep electing 'average' people into positions of power then they(and we) will forever be easy prey at the mercy of professional lobbyists and influencers.
Which is, at best, exactly what we are watching.
We need to elect real people with real life experience who are not afraid of questioning the 'facts' and certainly wouldn't tolerate anything less than truth to aid decision making.
I'm hard pressed to remember anyone not delivering an honest picture to me in my time as a senior manager in a very busy multi site manufacturing operation, and I'm absolutely sure it never happened twice.
We are being led by donkeys, not for the first time.
I see they removed the whip from Andrew Bridgen today, a sure sign that we are not dealing with 'best intentions', an example to the rest to stay sat down and shut up... the antithesis of science and truth

Unless Mr Halpern is an active member of Substack comments sections, all the nudging in the world won’t be enough to reach me let along nudge me along.

Ya know that cartoon where dude slightly 'nudges' the other dude, and the other dude powerfully pushes dude into oblivion?
Yup, got a smallish wrecking ball here named "other dude!" It's being held to the wall with one of those previously mentioned masks spoken of with a smallish candle lit below the strings.
Was that a snippet of a snap I just heard??? Prettttty suuuure.....

The thing is, I can't take full measure of umbrage when every cult everywhere--including what's so deceptively labeled as "mainstream religion"--nudges the populace from birth to death.
Really now--how many people don't believe in something some other person has told them, waving written documents around as irrefutable proof--is absolutely true?

Shame he didn't sit there like Jabba and laugh "your little Jedi mind tricks won't work on me Halpern".
TBH you want a leader impervious to these.
However, feels like BoJo was in on it early on and became a global example of COVID nobbling everyone ( I literally sighed when I heard he was in hospital), or actually got reeducation in his hospital bed. Seemed to come just after the pivot away from natural herd immunity IIRC.
The Expose' -- a British news service that publishes contrary-to-the-narrative news -- is on the verge of shutting down. They are totally reader funded. They lost 75% of their paid subscribers when Paypal kicked them off, and then in October their bank account was frozen. They're in the top three news sources I recommend and I think it would be a major loss if they close down.

Nudge sounds so much nicer than PsyOp manipulation, right?

The Socratic Method unravels all the nonsense. I do not think the BS will work again.
