There’s a big protest in Trafalgar Square right now everyone shouting George Floyd then ‘taking the knee’. I know it’s a sign of protest started a few years ago, it just struck me as a little weird considering that’s how George was killed, just a weird coincidence eh...

Weird how all these companies were ready for this. I mean all the adverts, now long does it take to make these ads? How much do they cost? Yet they were on tv within a couple of weeks of this all starting, how could they have known it was gonna last? I mean to quantify making a costly advert it’s got to be worth it? I know some companies have just been quick to react, and that’s just good business, you have to keep money coming in, just even very early on ads we’re telling us all about home and new ways to communicate etc. Crazy thing about all this working from home is all of a sudden it’s as if data protection is now a thing of the past, I work for a very big online retailer and while in work we can be stopped and searched at any time by security staff (to ensure we haven’t written down anyone’s personal info) and we have to comply, yet now I’m all set up at home, I’m placing orders, taking payments, doing credit searches etc and it’s not even an issue now, it’s totally out of their control. Imagine how many other companies banks etc who all have the same, that’s millions of ppls personal and financial information being viewed in workers spare rooms. Also, does anyone remember last September when weirdly police here and US were telling us to ‘be prepared’. Apparently it was ‘Preparedness month’ 30 days 30 ways to be ready for anything. I remember ppl were freaked out because police were telling us on social media to have a grab bag with all essentials in, passport, money, clothes, batteries, candles even food and water. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/09/09/police-advice-keep-emergency-grab-bag-home-case-evacuation-mocked/
