Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

UK is island, not continental Europe, but Scotland disagree with Brexit and so many UK prefer France or Spain than England and were afraid not to get allowance to stay living in France, but of course they are welcome in France, I love their accent.

What 'great' news! / sarc.

I's truly amazing to see how the politically correct young and 'green' generation is blindly making the same mistakes as their grandparents. Adolf 'proved' with 'science' that Jews were 'inferior beings,' and Angela 'proves' with 'science' like the fraudulent PCR test from Dr Christian Drosten, that a simple flu wave is now a 'worldwide pandemic.'

For those of you who speak and understand German, here is a brilliant 3,5 minute long video in which Hans-Georg Maassen (former lawyer, former civil servant, former president of the Federal Office for the protection of the Constitution, and former head of the German spy agency) explains how "scientists" are on the German government's payroll and will help prove that the earth is flat, should the German Chancellor or a German minister want want to 'prove' this for political reasons: https://youtu.be/jqe-QifgVZU.

The comparison with the Holocaust is appropriate here. After all, we all know that people are being taken from their homes and shops and loaded onto cattle trains headed to refurbished concentration camps. Torture tactics to convince people to get vaccinated in these camps vary a lot and are different from those used during the '40's. Some prisoners are forced to use a dial-up connection at 128 bit / min to go online, others to listen to Cliff Richards songs 24/7 or try texting with T9 in their phones or binge-watching all the Dawson's creek episodes.

It's also clear that this is just a flu and it is all a clear conspiracy, where 99.99% of the medics, scientists and governments are involved and only a few special people like you know the truth. You are too smart to fall for these attempts to enslave the population and, while we are here, I would also question the use of seat belts in cars, smoking at petrol stations, the use of smoke alarms in houses and the use of any medicine when we all know our bodies can heal themselves (I've seen a video of a guy saying that, so it's true)!

You too are a special boy and God loves you!

It's called having principles. I know that it's strange to you but that's how it works. Nobody in their right mind would compromise on things the English wanted so then the English didn't want to be in anymore and they voted to leave and brought the Northern Irish and the Scots with them. Let's see for how long there will be a UK because of this.

Their choice just like it was the choice of the American people to elect Joseph Biden instead of that other guy.

What amazes me the most is how the EU managed to scare away one of their biggest cash-cows.

Who wouldn't love the EU with all their corruption, bureaucracy, centralization and obscene waste of taxpayer money.

I don't understand how people can ignore that there are big pros&cons being a member of the EU. To me it's a sign of ignorance / radicalization.

But you've already been giving up that information if you've ever a carried your mobile phone into the doors of a club.

Yes and no. IMO, it's worse if there's a record of me actually entering the club. Once something like that is in one of the databases then it's trivial to extract it. To be clear: I don't care if it's in a German or Swiss database per se. However, since that by default is available to the Swedish authorities that would be really bad.

The phone company obviously know I've been near one of the clubs but on the other hand there's no record of me actually entering and the phone company may not necessarily know what's there. I'm also confident it would be worse for locals.

Visiting the clubs is a calculated risk if one is worried about getting ones cover blown or get in trouble. No need to make it worse.

Whilst I agree in principle with the idea of a vaccine passport I'm a little bit concerned how it will be used.

Isn't it legal in Germany or Switzerland? Then, no problem about police. I was controlled on many times when leaving a brothel, never had any problem, only alcohol test and I always tell them: if not 0 , then change your machine because not working, always 0 for me, when only drinking tits and cyprine, no beer which make fat and bad breathe, nor alcohol, nor drug of course, my only drug being adrenaline and I need, getting when pushing to the limit, often over grip, on German autobahns where found amazing new right curve when coming from Aachen going to Neuss NRW, when will return, have to try to reach not far from 250 with new race karting for 100 limited, when already used to pass over 200/210 , when radar can't measure in curve. When in France, we build Bugatti, we have a 515 km / h record train and 2 Sebastien Loeb and Ogier, I only use my brakes in Switzerland when was always only flashed under 120 on Swiss autobahns for snails driving ugly Panamera turbo S, or RS Q7 truck.

I love your insightful comments and contributions to this forum! Always on topic and full of valid arguments. My grandma would say you are special and God loves you!

If you want to point out every stupidity he tells you're in for a long time.

The 50% automation potential was in the USA a few years ago. Reports from China is talking about a much higher automation potential, as the populace is more geared for robots and technology. Upwards to 70%. While in less developed countries as a whole where R&D makes up less of the workforce, the automation potential as a percentage of all jobs will also be that much higher than the 50% in the states. A number I expect will increase dramatically as AI is expected to get 5000 times faster in only the next 4-5 years. And that is even before we take into account all the new science seen at Darpas ongoing ERI projects.

Did you see China and Chinese trying ski? So funny, just 1 year before Olympics, maybe we will see first star level competing with Austrians. Austrians laughed about Dubai Globe and Cheïkh Al Makhtoum, they should really laugh when seeing new fashion sport in China, I really can't understand to make Winter Olympics in countries which know nothing about ski, same like football Worldcup under Qatar heat where 6500 immigrants died when building stadiums, or Olympics under Japanese wet heat to kill athletes, just decided by people who never really made sports.

You just have to assume your responsibilities and choices, I am not married and no GF, the authorities can share all my data with whom they want, I don t care.

I'm sure my ex girlfriend is the queen for angels, when her charming prince should now be loved by the devil, even I don't see him when I yearly go for the hell of Zoncolan, Mortirolo, Gentile and now la Lauze since last Summer.

Yes, I totally agree. Brexit has become a new religion / cult in UK and the pathetic followers of this cult are always desperate to find positive sides about their Brexit god and they pathetically love blaming Germany! However, please, keep in mind that at least half of UK hate Brexit and everything it represents! Ok end of my rant!

Aren't you the weirdo who called the UK a "Tory dictatorship"?

God knows that you're really special, maybe you want to join Corbyn to host a fundraiser for Hezbollah and Maduro?

The other European countries are looking at the UK with envy and admiration after their extremely successful vaccination campaign.

Whilst I agree in principle with the idea of a vaccine passport I'm a little bit concerned how it will be used.

I would imagine that a vaccine passport would be used in the same manner as travel passports issued by the government. My normal passport has a barcode but I cannot recall scanning it anywhere else except at an airport. Once when I was on a bus between Croatia and Bosnia, they made us all get off the bus and handover our passport (it was probably scanned in the twenty minutes they had it in their possession). Any other time, I believe it is visual inspection. Police officer, train conductor, hotel receptionist, FKK thekefrau.

Here is how I hope it would work if an immunity passport is required to enter an establishment: business owners would be legally obligated to ensure that all customers meet entry requirements by visually inspecting their documents. At any time, the authorities could conduct a raid. And if not in compliance, the authorities can levy large fines or shut down the business. This is no different than FKK operators that are supposed to ensure that all WGs meet age requirements to work there.

That the info is shared with people I don't want to know I went to a club. Such as the Swedish authorities.

Authorities already have the technology to do this (or will shortly). AI technology can recognize faces and license plates. The self-driving car revolution will probably coincide with the wide-scale deployment of IoT. This would mean sensors everywhere emitting data. It is just a matter of whether companies or authorities see value in storing that data, interconnecting with other systems, and correlating that data. If you are really paranoid, never login to a device, take a photo, or carry a device that connects to a network again, and then move to a remote village. The point is, and this was what Snowden warned against, is that authorities may be monitoring us without our knowledge.

I also live in the UK and we all know we are now under a sort of Tory dictatorship,

Amazing how people in the internet age toss around words like Fascist and Dictatorship. The UK you is a few years removed from truly brutal rule on their own soil. Please travel to places like Iran, North Korea, some African nations and then post something like this about their government to get refamiliarized with what a dictatorship truly is. Just because the ruling party is different from your own does not make them a dictatorship.

Ask Edward Snowden.

Exactly! Everyone knows that having a few shags in a legal brothel is the same as revealing military intelligence that uncovers torture practices on war prisoners.
