Boris Johnson praises Peppa Pig in bizarre CBI speech

I remember when this was just a conspiracy theory...
One of the most annoying things about being online is the way that devices including phones listen to your conversations. I presume this is happening all the time as Ive lost count of the number of times that I have had a discussion in this house and an very relevant advert will arrive on FaceBook or YouTube, usually very promptly. My sisters partner works for Asda online security and he says that that this occurs because our data is sold by phone companies ect. He added that conversations within earshot of a device also seem to qualify as worthy of snooping. Interestingly he does not use FaceBook as he says they are the biggest offenders. In fact he cant be found on any online social platforms as he says all trouble comes from them.
I think this snooping is awful and no one bats an eye at it ! In the privacy of your own home you have an eaves dropper that will log key words, usually for commercial purposes, but no doubt for certain it is being used for much darker reasons. Its not good enough just being cautious about what you post if merely having a verbal conversation in private is potentially going to put you on a " naughty list ". I have no specific proof, buts its more likely than not I'd say. As I said, commercially we are being " harvested " for sure.
Finally just for laughs, here is the most ridiculous but also the most striking example that our devices are listening to us without our consent. Last summer I had a conversation about " belly buttons " with my daughter. About 10 minutes later and without doing any online searching about the subject a FaceBook post popped up... 10 Things you never knew about belly buttons ! Unbelievable.
Another darker example has just occurred to me. I was sat in the kitchen watching a news item about the NHS selling your medical data to commercial companies. I was complaining about this verbally to two other family members when both their phones pinged at exactly the same second and what text had they both simultaneously received ? How to opt out of NHS data collection ! Not only had the conversation being logged, the fact that two phones were in the room was also linked to the process. It was so blatant to. No attempt to delay or stagger the texts. And again no one seems bothered.
Im also tired of YouTube profiling me. Im getting more and more films appearing about mental health. Do you ever wonder what picture they have of you ? And how distorted it is ? And who is this being shared with ? One day you will find its all going to start costing you financially I betting.

It maybe too late...
We have Capitalist governments with Socialist policies that are now showing Fascist intentions. George Orwell wrote about how intellectual Socialists often lost faith and swung to Fascism, but I doubt very much that he could have envisaged Capitalist governments stealing Socialist ideas.
So how did these Fascist intentions occur ? They occurred when the population took the vax. It was a mandate for Fascism. What a clever trick ? And why does spell checker automatically think I want to spell " racism " Not every god damn thing is about racism....
Not a mask in sight !
Ive just returned from town and there is the annual walking, mountaineering, hiking type festival taking place. Ive never seen so many ribbed jackets in one place. ..lol What really struck me though was the fact I must have seen 100 visitors walking in the high street and not one single person was wearing a mask. Thats interesting as it shows that certain type of outdoorsy person is not feeling worried as opposed to local people.
Isnt it funny also how you can tell a visitor to an area from a local ? Maybe its their clothes or the way they walk ? Maybe we all give off that more animated look when we are out of our area ? Anyway the face of the town was changed today, though only for a day. One thing that will remain the same however is those ribbed jackets that are also popular with locals in the Olde Greye Towne...and the Volkswagon Transporter mini vans as Americans call them. They are a " lifestyle accessory " That goes without saying.

How BBC is this ?
Im currently watching the lunch time BBC News telling me about a story reporting on a a shortage of Walkers ready salted crisps, and the good old BBC has found the parent of a 4 year old who has an eating disorder, and the child will only eat ready salted crisps. Oh, dear. There is now a conversation going on exploring the options the mother faces as this is of national importance ? A trip to the NHS might be in the mix too. So you are welcome to count the BBC boxes that have been ticked here, but at no point does anyone question the fact a 4 year old is living on this surely deathly diet, and why is a 4 year old allowed to live on this diet ?

A short angry post
Today I found out that relatives of mine whose mother is gravely ill in hospital have to book appointments well in advance to see her. Visitor groups are limited and thus anyone person has wait a week between visits approx due to her large family. Why this inhumane stance ? Covid regulations of course. Its even worse in another nearby hospital where you cannot visit at all !
So in a life and death situation silly petty rules hinder a person in visiting a parent or loved one who could be rapidly running out of time. It makes my blood boil even though my family are lucky enough not to be in that situation and if god forbid If I was suddenly in that situation...well its enough to break someone. The bloody NHS. Not the heros we are led to believe all the time. People wont be banging pots and pans and cheering in the streets if they find the NHS torturing them this way in their hour of need. Yet nothing is said on the news at all. Not a thing.
Its most likely sill bureaucracy, but it just looks like they have something to hide, maybe. Time will tell, but it seems very odd.
