Boxing legend Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
Some or other military mind of ages past – Wellington, Dwight D Eisenhower, Sun Tzu – take your pick – said no plan survives contact with the enemy, which is saying the same thing about sudden blows to tender parts.
For those alarmed by talk of punches – let me stress that I refer, in what follows, only to blows metaphorical and not literal. Hard earned wisdom like that from Tyson and the rest is always worth remembering … but those words are especially relevant now. The game’s afoot, as Sherlock Holmes said. No one is in overall control … not yet, not yet … no matter what anyone says or thinks, and there’s everything to play for. And I do mean everything. If you have felt increasingly angry about what is happening – then that is fine. Given the contempt with which our leaders – and their would-be successors – are treating us, we should be furious.
But now, when so much seems lost in darkness, is the time to remember things are happening fast and faster because no one has their foot on the brake. Now is the time to hold on and remember that fortune favours the brave.
The corrupt Establishment received their punch in the mouth … and saw their plan fall apart on contact … back in 2016. Contrary to the smug expectations of David Cameron and his masters, Brexit won the referendum … and the Machiavellians had to pick up their ideological teeth with broken fingers. It’s been chaos ever since … chaos agitated endlessly and remorselessly by those in need of a smoke screen for their latest movements as they try and maintain control.
Theresa May got in the way of Brexit as best she could. Johnson rode a wave that was there for the riding – which is essentially what he does in life in general – but was tripped up by a birthday cake and flushed away, at least for a while ...And then came Truss, poor thing, and now … well it doesn’t matter, really, in the same way that none of them matters …

Not everyone believes that GB News is credible:
GB News UK - Media Bias/Fact Check
Like Fox News, that GB News tries to emulate in the UK market, it consists primarily of opinion pieces and commentary on 'newsy topics', rather than just factual news. It is highly likely that there would usually be insufficient content if the news channel only stuck to fact and not much was happening.
As an example, the article linked to in the OP was an opinion piece. Not news.

What sources do you consider credible?
for states that use them as guidance for school entry requirements and busy physicians.

If it was an opinion piece, why don't you comment on the article rather than trying to discredit the source?
We all know why!
Personally i thought it was a great read and summarised our current political landscape perfectly. Short of calling for an uprising this is the kind of thoughtful and informed insight we need to shine a light on the cretins destroying our way of life.

Again, the topic of the post and article, what sensationalist or outrageous claims does it contain?
Name some credible news networks please, so i can provide you with evidence which questions their credibility?
