I think the COVID lockdowns were a practice run for when they have true martial law. They wanted to identify problem areas which they could focus on.... older folks with food supply, of course their primary identifier is why so many people brought toiiet rolls instead of food.... you dont eat, you dont shit. It also gave good cover to trial run the NHS message to each phone and identify issues with phonescomms. Also it created the opportunity to have very different conversations about the role of the NHS, Doctors, Police, Teachers & Schools..... it threw up a whole bunch of issues that changed converstions. Most importantly it made it very easy to spot the sheep since they were all wearing masks. If you were having a converstion with a mask wearer, you knew you were dealing with a complete FW. I tried to engage one in conversation at Morrisons and he ran away from me he was so scared
