These are the most worrying things to me. The virus itself, whilst serious for those in risk groups, isn't. I am only concerned about the virus in terms of how it might affect my father and other older family members. They understand the risks and make sure they mitigate them as best they can.

Censorship prevents us from even raising pertinent questions on and discussing serious issues such as increasingly militarised and heavy-handed policing, government acting without scrutiny, arbitrary laws and "guidance" and the like.

I saw the police actions in Hyde Park in December for myself. They were determined to split the protestors up and frighten people into not protesting again. You can be sure of the spin that would have been used if this had happened in an 'enemy' country.

As for TalkRadio, I had been a bit worried about them for quite a time. I wish that they had focused on the censorship and policing issues a lot more. They were very good on exposing the government and MSM scare misinformation. Peter Hitchens was also very enjoyable with his criticisms, but seldom did they cross the line and ask if the reason for lockdown was anything other than a misguided attempt to try and stop the unstoppable, a virus whose time has come. Now they have been taken down, presumably for dropping a truth bomb. No one ever got banned for saying something that couldnt easily be countered.

Those of you who are old enough to remember the early 1980's in the UK, or got to see up close the "policing" of the Gilet Jaunes demonstrations in France recently, will be very familiar with this police tactic. Its a dry run for the expected public demonstrations and public disorder which will start happening once enough people start getting desperate and realize the authorities have no game plan.

In London in the early 1980's you would see police formations like this whenever the authorities expected a large number of miners and their supporters in town for a demo. I remember seeing a bunch of them in the Green Park area and elsewhere in 1984. Or when they though certain areas were about to kick off again. Like they had several times in '81 and '82. I remember seeing one formation just like the one in the video (sans masks) close to Brixton tube station in 1982.

So it looks to me more like a training exercise for what the central authorities expect will come next. They are expecting civil unrest. None of the police in the video looks like the heavy squad. What used to be called the SPG. The CRS in France. Does anyone have any information on other police resources / vehicles on the streets around SW7/W2 yesterday. The riot police vans tend to be either unmarked with lots of antennae on top or heavily armored vans. That area always has lots of heavily armed diplomatic protection police around but those unmarked vehicles are easy to spot. The riot police vehicles would look very different.

I have had problems all day getting on here and had suspicions it was happening here too..I managed ( dont ask me how) eventually..
I hope talk radio come back again as something else..please keep us posted..
Thanks for all the posts on hyde park too..its getting harder sourcing info..
