Sexpistol50 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The UK Government had paid a enclosed sum to the so called stars of the TV reality show Love Island to promote Track and Trace through social media . They really are pushing this track and trace, who will they pay next David Beckham, Gary Lineker, Bob Geldof ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observations Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I remember this, I think it was perhaps front page news? Seems strange, but then it was during the time when the bravado and arrogance about being 'right', and 'doing it' to 'save lives', and counter 'dangerous misinformation', seemed to be escalating daily. It was almost like ... yes we're doing this, and you know it's wrong, but you can't stop us ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTV Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 For £140 billion they have not tracked and traced a single thing not included my balls, which they did track and trace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris P Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Yeah I don't doubt it, the propaganda has been everywhere. Was just asking for someone else, who isn't quite awake yet! If the program received funds directly from gov then they should have a "product placement" indicator, though if the "stars" were paid directly then I gather this wouldn't apply?

If the program received funds directly from gov then they should have a "product placement" indicator, though if the "stars" were paid directly then I gather this wouldn't apply? One thing that I find helps is the awareness that products and ideas are sold to us through celebrities, reality TV, soaps, movies, website comments sections, twitter Facebook, radio phone in shows ... and so on. All to fake it till they make it, and persuade us that an endorsement is wide spread and naturally evolved. Paying someone to say that they think something is another version of paying someone to say that they use something. A lot of articles, interviews and reviews are littered with blatantly obvious bias, and follow / lay the path of an agenda, where someone gains more money or control. Take this example from just one search for ' love Island track and trace ' ... Independent Newspaper; Love Island fans very much enjoyed narrator Iain Stirling’s Track and Trace joke at Hugo’s expense during Monday night’s show Hugo has not had much luck in love on the reality series, and Sunday’s episode saw the woman he’s coupled up with, Chloe, gently shut him down Stirling had no qualms about teasing Hugo for his singleness, nicknaming him Track and Trace “because as soon as you spend time in his company you have to go home alone”. The joke went down very well with fans, with one person tweeting: “Iain’s track and trace joke abt hugo has me DEAD.” Another added: “Iain calling Hugo track and trace is already the highlight from this episode.” Social conditioning, nudging, behavioural 'science', we saw so many 'great' examples in the last few years. Lately we see headlines and articles about viewers / the public apparently outraged over some comment from a politician or public figure .. pick a word ... racism, mysogyny, sexism, prejudice, anti trans ... It's all bullshit. Furious about someone not socially distancing, not queuing, not wearing a mask? ... It's all fake and exaggerated marketing.

Observations Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Examples of media conditioning and propaganda The media were paid a small fortune - must look up the amount ... Under the Love Island article there are click links to so many Track and Trace articles ; More about Love Island Iain Stirling Track And Trace Leading to this little 'beauty' ... Lockdown will be a letdown if we do not overhaul the test and trace system - it is time for a local approach Reckoning for the failures can await another day. The imperative is to improve the system, so the current personal sacrifices from both restrictions and the virus itself are not wasted. by Dr John Oldham Tuesday 03 November 2020 ______________________________ In that article titled Lockdown will be a letdown if we do not overhaul the test and trace system - - There is also a handy video clip titled Second lockdown extension inevitable unless failing test-and-trace system fixed, says Starmer https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/test-track-trace-lockdown-government-local-hubs-deloitte-amazon-g4s-b1533550.html (Starmer voices his support - the support that kept us in restrictions, lockdown and unsustainable debt) (He scathingly uses the term 'world beating', and a link next to that also conveniently uses the term 'world beating'.) (Conditioning with repetition of words and phrases) (Incidentally the term world beating allowed the opposition and media to create endless distraction and time wasting debates to keep us from discussing real issues) ______________________________ Headline; It isn’t too late to turn test & trace into a ‘world-beating’ system Headline; Uber launches new service to help authorities trace coronavirus cases Headline; VOICES Josiah MortimerCovid-19 cases are rising – and people are entering the UK untracked Headline; It would be unforgivable for Johnson to lift the lockdown too soon Headline; The test and trace system won’t protect us from a second wave Headline; How to become a contact tracer Headline; The test and trace system won’t protect us from a second wave Headline; Coronavirus news you may have missed overnight Headline; Serco shares email addresses of contact tracers in ‘privacy breach’ Headline; Alexis Paton - We need ethics to guide us out of lockdown – not just science Headline; Would you risk your privacy to relax lockdown sooner? __________________________________ Headline; It would be unforgivable for Boris Johnson to lift the lockdown too soon Editorial: The point is that the weaker the test and trace system, and the less the public cooperate with it, the riskier the exit from lockdown becomes Thursday 11 June 2020 For all its grievous failings, not least on coronavirus testing and tracking, the government cannot be entirely blamed for the shortcomings revealed in the first figures published on the new testing regime. Fully one third of people who tested positive for Covid-19 refused or otherwise failed to identify their contacts and help in telling them to self-isolate for 14 days ... ... Lives would be lost and it would be unforgivable if, having imposed lockdown too late, the government was to lift it too early. _______________________ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaticWorld Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I would be more surprised if a TV show wasn't subversive propaganda at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
