I didn't watch last night as I bought a new TV recently and don't really want to end up smashing it.
But I see he said tripe like this
We have to acknowledge this this is a great and freedom-loving country; and while the vast majority have complied with the rules there have been too many breaches – too many opportunities for our invisible enemy to slip through undetected.
In other words : it is your fault, and time to stop being so free.
I know I've made this analogy before, but the connection between the way the government is treating us, and the way in an abusive relationship the abuser treats their victim, is becoming ever more clear.
- Isolation. You're cut off from family and friends and work colleagues.
- Punishment. You can't do the things you like, or they are subject to so many rules that they're not enjoyable anymore.
- Blame. You are constantly told that it is your fault you're not allowed to do this any more. And if only you followed the rules, you'd be able to do so again.
- Confusion. The rules to follow are arbitrary, frequently change, make little sense.
- Humiliation. You're forced to do degrading things just because you're told you must.
- Self-worth. You're told you're a bad person, nasty, dangerous, unclean.
- Tracking. Everything you do is tracked and logged.
It is obvious, disturbing, and we need to stop accepting it.
