    Marco, was trying to prompt some lateral thinking rather than saying your close or narrow minded. I understand that you may be an optimist, imagine what life could be like under virtual house arrest, with a health passport, without which you can’t shop anywhere, can’t own a house, can’t own a car.

    This sort of imagining.

    Before the deluge of nay sayers, I’m just answering what could be imagined, if your mind is not constrained by the now.

    Big Brother needs a definition of who or what set this up with a spreadsheet. Don’t fall for the trap that Track and Trace wasn't designed to fail, so tighter controls could be explored.

    I do so hope you’re right though.

    difficult to get a track n trace to work in a free country without the cooperation of public. countries where public are more attuned to obedience, it will have worked better;

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    The whole point of me quoting and linking to the article, and website was in an effort to get folks to look at that website, and the info contained in the many other pages there, its quite obvious when you look through the info, and the characters involved, that what we are experiencing now was posibly/probably envisaged and thus enginered quite some time ago.

    Ha - we've been here before. You do what you can to MINIMISE it as far as possible. In today's world, it's impossible to eliminate such completely.

    Undoubtedly though, the ones most susceptible to being tracked (if or when that technology, which already exists in limited form, becomes abused for nefarious reasons), are all the idiot 'tech junkies' - you know the geeks who simply CANNOT LIVE without owning the latest 'must have' gadget, and which is usually some sort of 'smart' device, and not only have it all around their homes, but carry it about with them, too!

    And have crucially integrated/structured their lives around said tech (in some cases their livelihoods are dependant on it), so would be very difficult to live without. In that respect, the gullible 'sheeple' are essentially FUCKED...

    Ah, I get what you mean now, sure... Although I can't see it happening to that degree in our lifetime.

    As long as we have 'people power', and the people aren't scared to rebel against injustice (as has been shown with the recent riots in America, which I'm not saying I'm condoning, btw, but the point is that if they care enough, people will REBEL against something that they consider is unjust or wrong,), and the lockdown protests here and elsewhere, which at times got nasty, then such fascist regimes won't 'stick'.

    *BUT*, if necessary, we MUST not be scared to take to the streets and seek to defeat the 'powers that be', and FIGHT for our freedoms, should that ever be necessary - and while we still can!

    You can take to the streets if you want, I'll be sat in the warm watching Wheeler Dealers with a can on the go.

    They can't cut my leccy off without getting into the house - I'm not on a smart meter and it can't be done from the street. They've tried before and in the end they had to shut down the grid for the whole area.

    Of course if you're on a smart meter they can just press a button at head office and that's it.
