I strongly advise you to link this thread with the next thread.

In times of crisis I support a Wartime Cabinet.

Like Mr Chamberlakn, Johnson should step aside for a Churchill.

The man who made things worse can't make them better with a secret police.

So I don't want you to worry, but this is getting an itchy bit too fashi for my liking.

We had Reichstag during the coup. Now we have Enabling Act + Gestapo.

I tell ya there's a heap load of weird stuff to go through.

Call me a dot joiner, but did we just become the baddies?

Read the pic &⏬ together

Grossly wrong in the first sentence
Cites evidence that isnt latest or scientific
⏺answers are:
+very little
+didn't follow it
+reversal
+ ignored
And sabotaged phase one

Because they had no oversight.

Don't then remove oversight and add Gestapo.

Recall an Advisory Bill that was not advisory?

That didn't need a super majority because it was advisory

That didn't need a clear scope definition because it was advisory.

That would provide merely consultation because it was advisory.

I don't like 2 year open ended bills.

Then there's the bill designed to protect the people from Press Barons.

Until Mr Johnson promised in his manifesto to use it to protect Press Barons from the People.

( Mail, Express, Telegraph didn't tell you? It seems rude to laugh.)

Have a read of the manifesto. Page 48.

Does this exclude UK CMO Vallance?
It must:
He was the UK CMO who

1. Agreed the plan to sharpen the peak of the virus

2. Plucked statistics out of the air on covid19

3. Allegedly to J Hunt failed on basic covid pathology details.
My advice.Never listen to another word he says.

This one is eye-opening.

UK deaths per annum ~ 10 per 1000. So roughly 660,000 die.

If, as reported, they hope for 20,000 #covids deaths this clause can go. Surely the funeral industry can handle a 3% change?

You'd need 100s of thousands for this. Or a million.

I support ramping up the front line, especially since our Government ramped up the Virus (sharpening the peak).

But is this a bit Priti 8 million? ie fictional?

Because, don't we know retired people are the last people to put on the front line? This won't work.

This is a head scratcher.

I get the reasoning, medical staff will make harder calls under tougher circumstances.

There are lots of other ways to solve this, including avoiding trials.

This way ensures the least compensation for victims of any genuinely awful decisions. Why?

Locked up. No Questions.
Can I ask some?

This clause is to reduce time pressure?

So how much time is taken by this normally? If it's lots that's not good.
Why expect demand to increase?
This rule is generations old to avoid corruption of justice
How many hours per week saved?

But it gets worse.

Now we have lock up no questions and no release. On just one Governmentt doctor.

Have I seen too many distopian movies or does this have a massive "Look behind you" painted on it?

I note still no "why" a physicial disease is spiking mental health conditions.

Well we know this isn't needed. That's what Brexit was doing.

So why is it in here?

This bill has noble goals
1.Increasing health Workforce
2.Easing staff burden
3.Slowing the virus
4.Undercounting the deceased
5.Supporting you and me.

So why, mental health laws does it need a #Gestapobill?
Also no suspicious circumstances clause attached to death reporting?

And there you have it.

Enabling Act, total cleanup. Fashi 101

It doesn't need to be. Remove the fashi bits and it would still work.

And under a strong parliament holding government to account that would happen.

Which is when I burst out laughing and sent this.

I often censure people with Godwin's law.

"Don't exaggerate and then claim fascist. You alienate your audience."

@sfmnemonic grants us an exception. When something has become undeniably fascist or is in preparation for the same by an objective measure.

Then call it out.

Call.
