The nanny state is gone? I suggest you check out Australia, where a conservative government has just brought in welfare beyond the wildest dreams of any socialist. O the irony, Bob Menzies must be rolling in his grave.

Yes & well needed as the systems implemented don't cater for many laid off workers 

Then you have other countries opening up & the best Auss can do is make a deal with the Kiwis

Interesting analogy!  Seems to me the world's elites keep saying what a good thing the loss of life is for the future of the world.  Less people...less use if natural resources...

 

Has this virus been a calculated experiment?

Nice one. Just don't buy this big plan by governments as an excuse to keep us muled in though. China, for sure, but that's David Ike-esque tripe right there. Any long term draconian measures affects them too. I've no love for politicians and elites - they're generally a bunch of stuck up waankers - but see it for what it is; a t.wat of a mutated virus due to human meddling with potential to totally flaw economies. Governments (at least western ones) seen to leverage and take the mick will lead to rioting on a massive scale. And nowt good will come of that... the elites would be lording over nothing.

Nanny State.?. I came across Police Interceptors an other similar vids on You Tube. It is disgusting how the English Yobs behave towards your Officers. After watching a few my conclusion was the South African Police are right. Wait, ask for order, if not forthcoming wade in and give em pain. Was rather sad to see such disrespect.

.welcome to the warden state...and we are the inmates.

Majority members of herd in social animal are happy by being led. 

For millenniums religion took this role leading the the mass. 

Now global warming, virus, etc. are in charge of herding the mass. 

Where it leads to doesn't matter as long as the flocks are rushing together back and forth. 

Where is our lord, Greta now?

Perhaps it's a test run to see how sheeple we are.

Few weeks ago i was thinking the same, by now it should be obvious that the test has proven successful.

As a Brit I can assure you the British Police get the respect they deserve .......... NONE.

Ignorant, uneducated bully boys hired to enforce the police state since at least the miners strike of 1972.

The pigs in America are 50x worse, especially if you are a concealed carry permit holder.  Every time I've informed them of my firearm during a traffic stop they immediately go apes*it about it

This is not their regular procedure, which is "shoot first, ask questions later".

More likely it is a way of resetting the economy, while blaming the collapse, which was coming anyway, on the virus.

 

Governments, notably in the West and its affiliates, will implement drastic measures, probably increase taxes and reduce social coverage, in the name of reconstruction.

 

While the pandemic will probably last 6 to 9 months, its economic and social fallout will last 6 to 9 years...or more...

Expect higher taxes and a "living wage" that is only enough to survive on for the unemployed masses. At the moment pensions are higher than the dole, but would not surprise me if they were reduced. I should be looking for a suitable bridge to shelter under.

 

Perhaps the general populace may start to agree that the population is too high to support jobs for all.

If anything good comes out of it for NZ it may be that immigration is slashed to virtual zero. They just took jobs that should have been done by locals and increased house prices. The most surprising thing to me is that house prices have not yet collapsed, but that may ( hopefully ) be coming.

Sadly you are correct. Apparently 30% want to continue imprisonment. I'm guessing they are those with guaranteed income, and politicians.

Always interesting to spot the posters that believe-for reasons that remain totally unclear-that they are not part of the herd and therefore not "sheeple" presumably due to their special knowledge and lifestyle which consists of roaming the hills,catching and cooking rabbits and chomping down on lizards and things...

 

Oh wait....they are at home watching YouTube videos and reserving their libertarian heroics for posting on forums whilst abiding by the rules laid down by their respective national gov'ts.
