The whole charade of wearing masks, having to stay indoors, not meeting with family and giving up jobs and businesses has nothing whatever to do with a killer virus: it is a strategy driven by the government's behavioural psychologists to break the human spirit, de-construct the British sense of community and make us entirely reliant upon the state for our livelihoods. Mark my words: in March or April (just when the population believes the lockdown is about to be eased and Speedway can resume), bumbling Boris and his psychopathic chum Matt Hancock will announce the arrival of a new and deadlier strain of the virus from China and the whole process will start again. What extraordinary ignorance. What a crassly stupid post. The Government is full of laissez-faire libertarians, and the last thing they would want is a populace reliant on the state. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just asking, not giving an opinion. It is for that reason that they will only start the season in Premiership if their is riders of the same standard. In 2019 both of the Thompson twins were beating home & away the likes of Rowe ,Palin,Flint,Gilkes,Bickley,Clegg,Edwards etc it may be a little too soon for the riders above and the standard maybe a bit more Kemp,Brennan, Perks sort of level Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've contributed nothing , just made a ridiculous statement. Having lost a relative and two good friends to something you claim doesn’t exist is just insulting. My post was placed in response to Moranboys query as to whether there is a realistic chance of seeing racing again this year, so it is only polite to tell him what I know. As to my submission being an "idiotic conspiracy theory," the only thing I got wrong was the timeframe. I said that the new and deadlier virus would be announced in March, but that was before I'd read yesterday's newspaper, which contains the headline "UK's mutant strain is 40% more deadly." In a linked article on the same page headed "...And SA variant may make jab 50% less effective," the article warns "allowing the variant first detected in South Africa to become the dominant strain could send the country back to square one." (Daily Mail, Jan 23rd, page 12) They're preparing us for a further year-long lockdown, just as I predicted. This puppet Prime Minister and his psychopathic henchmen are circumventing parliamentary democracy to systematically remove our freedoms. Placing 65 million people under house-arrest for 10 months, implementing a 3-tier system, giving police obscene powers to enter your home without a warrant and beat peaceful protesters with batons, forcing us all to wear masks to dehumanize the population, forcing the closure of hundreds of thousands of businesses with the permanent loss of millions of jobs, instructing GPs to refuse care and medication to tens of thousands of care-home residents (causing 18,000 avoidable deaths), authorising hospitals to abandon the treatment of millions of seriously ill patients: ALL MEASURES TAKEN WITHOUT A SINGLE VOTE IN PARLIAMENT! This is not democracy, it's DICTATORSHIP.... and it's aided and abetted by idiots who want to dismiss it all as a "conspiracy theory." You should tell that to the thousands of business owners that have invested their toil and money to build businesses over decades to see them shut down in a stroke of Matt Hancock's pen... or the millions of people who have seen their jobs and careers destroyed, never to return... or the millions of young people who have seen their education flushed down the pan. The truth deniers who want to dismiss real events as a "conspiracy theory" are a disgrace and are really just collaborating with the enemy. But put your mask on and take the jab.... Good luck with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
