Remember when Lucky Larry pulled Building 7?
Nobody cares about the facts.
If Boris Johnson went on TV and said: "Of course it's all a planned, fake event. But if we want to play our part in the world we must cooperate for the common goals humanity has set itself. And if we manage to save millions of lives in the process, why not? Not all emergencies need to be real to be legitimately and honestly treated as such. Together we are finding the very best ways of controlling our more dangerous instincts. So let's crack on, obey the guidances laid out for us; and most especially, let us not be distracted or misinformed by those who refuse to believe. Reject divisive truth tellers. They are a danger both to themselves and a society united for the common good."
…. no normie would blink an eye. They only want their herding instincts to be comforted. Tone is more important than the actual meaning of words.
