Wasn’t the National Health supposed to make everybody… healthy?
Well, obviously letting people be responsible for their own well-being just isn’t working–not in Britain, at least: certainly not in Britain.
The “Conservative” (?) prime minister, Boris Johnson, wants his government to start up a kind of “social credit” system, a la Red China, in which the government would track your grocery purchases and “reward” you for “healthier” choices by handing out discounts and… oh, God… “loyalty points” (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/07/26/nanny-state-boris-johnson-to-introduce-junk-food-credit-score-app/).
‘Cause if they don’t, they’ve got this obesity epidemic that somehow the National Health system has proved powerless to stop. So of course the answer has to be more government. More, more, more!
If this is what a Conservative government does, what would a left-wing British government do? Force everyone to eat Soylent Green?
Inspired by the humanist lust to play God (I initially typed that as “inspidered”: maybe should’ve left it that way), the UK government seems hell-bent on abolishing adulthood and turning Britain into a nation of perpetual toddlers.
If I close my eyes and count to three real loud, and click my heels together… will I wake up?
Johnson is a conservative in name only. Truly a buffoon.
The UK, like so many countries in the West, has become a nanny state. They try to control things so tightly that they smothering us to death in the process.
No more is that more evident in how they are dealing with Covid. Sydney Australia went into lock-down again over three whole Covid deaths. It’s insanity.
But remember–in the humanist paradise, NO ONE will die of a disease.
It is sad to see. Yesterday, at church, I saw another astounding thing. A visiting couple from California, amazed me. Both the husband and the wife looked like 8 1/2 month pregnant people. I mean, it was the shape of the bellies that was so different. The woman may have been pregnant, but .. the man? Never saw anything quite like it before.
I have a hymn suggestion to take our minds off this stuff: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, but Alan Jackson.
Remember Michele Obama forcing school kids to eat “healthy?” A total flop.
And they wound up wasting a lot of food, too–a sin.
