Sir Bob calls the lockdown "madness"

Read his brief column here.

I mused as I walked along the beach this morning in thick fog (unable to see the ferries and aeroplanes that aren't there) that pre-Covid19 the world was hysterical about climate change with increasing calls being made for population reduction policies. Now the panic is to save lives at ANY cost.

Not if you're Extinction Rebellion it's not. Their latest slogan: "Humans are the disease. The virus is the cure." Their values perfectly revealed.

Has it occurred to anyone else that as the feared 'climate change' never ever applied meteorologically that it was a *Cultural Climate Change* that was feared?

Who feared it? The Social Justice Warriors. The Lefties. The r-selected. The Victimhood Culture. The Woke. The Politically Correct. It's all one group. As a swearing Bill Nye and thundering Thunberg demonstrated, the fear & anger was becoming acute.

They were right. The cultural climate has changed. People aren't buying their New Puritanism anymore and the SJW must make way for a new outlook on the world. (He who gets hurt will be he who has stalled the incoming tide of those sceptical of their renegade priests and treacherous young witches.) The new Culture is more practical, survivalist, Authoritarian, no frills, and no Women's Weekly.

The displaced culture never wanted to limit *their* population to save their climate. The ones they feared had to be limited- the onrushing new people who have been sceptical of the PC teachings. The lives the SJW wants to save now are only their own lives. Certainly not those of the 'working class.'
