Party Like It’s 1966

The Euro 2020 international football tournament began exactly one month ago. Prior to its start, I had hoped for two outcomes: first, naturally, a jubilant England captain emulating Bobby Moore (1941-93) by lifting the trophy later today; and, second, a groundswell of people across the nation disregarding all the dictatorial COVID rules and taking back their innate right to freedom of peaceful assembly on their own terms.

So far, so good. England will play Italy in the final of Euro 2020 this evening at Wembley. Moreover, pubs, bars, terraces, gardens and homes will be packed with excited, carefree English people – without ridiculous face-nappies – eating, drinking, hugging, waving St George flags (Figure 167.1), enjoying the football and defying the evil perpetrators of the ‘pandemic’ fraud who have blighted so many lives on a basis of lies. (The majority of US states, and nations such as Sweden, returned to normality at a stroke and nothing untoward happened. QED.)

For reasons which I still do not comprehend, one of my sons supports Barnet Football Club (Figure 167.2). Based in northwest London, it plays in the fifth tier of the English leagues and was lucky not to have been relegated to the sixth a couple of months ago. Manchester City it is not, but he could hardly care less.  As much as he craves an England victory, he was thrilled to learn that the Italian squad has been training at the Hive, Barnet’s ultra-modern campus (Figure 167.3), which lies just four miles north of Wembley. (If you walk from the Hive along Camrose Avenue to the top of Turner Road, you can see the iconic Wembley arch in the not-too-far distance.)

Figure 167.2: The immaculate Hive Stadium, home of Barnet F. C., was completed in 2013 and has a capacity of 6,500. The campus also has several training pitches, bars, cafes, shops and a banqueting suite. Although small, it is a gem among English football grounds.

We spent yesterday at a Vintage Motorsport Festival (Figure 167.4). Again, thousands of maskless, liberated car enthusiasts wandered freely in the sun, mixed and socialized with complete strangers and acted as though the entire ‘deadly threat to public health’ narrative had been debunked and disposed of for good.

I reckon the government can now sense that its incessant propaganda is failing fast. Truth is visible through the smoke. Government announcements are looking increasingly desperate and pathetic. As of this week, 18% of health service workers are ‘self-isolating’, following a frantic increase in PCR testing, as are most of my sons’ classmates. It must be obvious to even the hopelessly brainwashed that almost all the absentees are perfectly healthy.

Perhaps the most sinister element of the government’s charade is its so-called Track & Trace app. (Why anyone would voluntarily submit to digital State surveillance is a mystery.) The system cost taxpayers a mindblowing £37 billion to create. It is clear that the ulterior purpose of this pernicious tool is not as a temporary aid to public health protection, but as the first step to establishing what I described in Article 149 as a ‘digital gulag’. Beginning with personal medical data, it could then be effortlessly extended to include every aspect of one’s life, including health status, travel and spending habits. This is the extent of State tyranny which would have made Franco happy and Stalin jealous. Is the globalists’ modus operandi for digital social control not hidden in plain sight?

The last and only time England won a major football tournament, I was just a few months old. I remember, as a schoolboy, my country failing to qualify for World Cup tournaments in 1974 and 1978; as a university student, witnessing the cheating genius Diego Maradona (1960-2020) in 1986; missed penalties in the 1990 and 1996 semifinals; and subsequent underachieving and recriminations throughout adulthood. If ever England needs to win, and, by so doing, provide a catalyst to discarding the chains of the past eighteen months, it is now.

Football’s coming home and brings with it, if we can grasp it, normal life.
