@ForBritain Let us not forget that the news we see is the news they want us to see, even the news that they try to *hide* from us.
Do we know if any of this is true? Are we being led by the nose? Are we being provoked into a reaction?
I've looked at the slew of New Year events before and after and am coming to the conclusion that the common factor is *don't get together on New Years Eve or any time because bad things happen*
It doesn't matter what the bad thing is. A bad thing can always be managed, either by Make it Happen on Purpose or Let it Happen on Purpose.
