Imagine supporting the dismantling of freedom, democracy and prosperity ‘to save granny’ and wishing old people dead because they vote the wrong way and hating them this much? Image
‘...the Will of the fucking dead.’ Image
What an 18 year old brings in the length of time for which they will be affected by laws, a 80 year old brings in wisdom and experience.

Democracy is a balance of the old and the young; and a mature society reflects the wisdom of those who have gone but contributed to its evolution when deciding the merits of measures that will affect those who have yet to come.
Edmund Burke, as ever, has so much to teach us.

The lazy thinking and ignorance and lack of understanding of evidence, historical precedent and proportionality in this article is something to behold. thetimes.co.uk/article/were-w…
The man remarks that Ferguson copied China while oblivious to the fact that he has just relied - without any analysis or even explanation (‘it is clear that’) on his modelling projections. Projections that don’t stand up to the slightest scrutiny.
He does not even consider whether the original measures were proportionate, simply making the facile assumption that they were because Ferguson said hundreds of thousands would die.

This appears to be a thinly veiled consultation for a digital ID system that would at least be regulated by government. It is no coincidence that it has been rushed out while the government prepares digital vaccine passports.

Reply. It closes on Thursday.

And yes, of course different organisations have information about your activities: banks, TFL, etc. But that’s the point. They are *different* organisations; and that information may only be accessed by the authorities - separately - with a warrant.
This suggestion is for one identification document that - for the pathetic benefit of ‘convenience’ (or saving a v small amount of time) - will contain all the above ‘attributes’.

What studies have been commissioned about this? Those, in particular, reviewing the long-term risks to those who have worn masks over prolonged periods in the past.
Is the answer that none were commissioned and those that might have been published were not considered?
I think we can be quietly confident that, so far as the government is concerned, that is indeed the answer.
Irrespective of evidence of the efficacy of masks in clinical settings and (more importantly) within the community, no requirement to wear masks can be proportionate or ethical if it has not weighed their potential benefit against their risk of harm.

Isn't is lovely to see all these quiet, dead cities, closed factories and grounded aircraft.
Take this as a warning that if lockdowns are accepted in *any* circumstances they will be imposed for 'climate' reasons before long.
Lockdowns should be prohibited in any circumstances.
So the WEF say we need this economic catastrophe every year. Time people woke up to the real threat to our freedom, democracy, prosperity and society.

One person has a cough and the whole of the financial capital of the perfect utopia that is New Zealand is shut down.

This response doesn't make sense even on the 'logic' of eradication. The whole point of eradication - of exceptionally dangerous diseases like smallpox and Ebola NOT C19, but we'll put that to one side - is that you can contract trace the v v limited number of infected people.
Not that you must shut down an entire city because of one incident.

Of all the turncoat nominal liberals and conservatives,@DominicRaab is one of the most disgraceful.
He actually wrote a book on liberty but was at the forefront of the lockdown and its perpetuation by the ‘Five Tests’ and now suggests this grotesque, #CCP means of social control.
