The cynic in me believes that the government is testing just how compliant we'll be. Then they'll decide what they might be able to get away with long term in the name of 'protecting the NHS', 'saving lives' or the 'climate emergency' or whatever other spurious justification they need to clmap down on our liberty and extort our wealth.
Do you really believe a government that has bankrupted itself and indebted the country to the extent that it has has done so in order to create a situation where they can deprive people of the liberty to go out and spend huge amounts of money in order to ... er ... deprive you and others of their individual wealth and er ... liberty ... to go and spend or make more money?
It would seem somewhat contradictory and also incredibly complicated. Wouldn’t they therefore also be depriving lots of their mates ability to do the same. And er ... I could go on but I think the inherent lack of logic in your theory makes any further examination of it unnecessary and specious.
