#Wycombe #WeighingIn
I was more 🤦‍♂️ Image
Weighing In is a great High Wycombe institution - a mayor in the 17th century abused his position so they've been weighed in and out ever since.

With the rest of us. ImageImageImageImage

🗽I campaigned and voted against the Coronavirus Act - EG: votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/… - so I am pleased ministers are getting rid of egregious powers like Schedules 21 and 22.

Summary: bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/coronavirusact/

But the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 is a bigger danger⬇️
According to @HansardSociety, "Coronavirus-related Statutory Instruments have been made and laid under 133 Acts of Parliament, seven Orders, five EU Regulations (which are now retained EU law in the UK) and one Church Measure."

Great dashboard here:

Lockdown was overwhelmingly implemented under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, which remains in place and needs reform.

There's an official guide to the legislation here:

⚠️There's been a great deal of difficulty obtaining workings out from @theCCCuk on #CostOfNetZero

🧐Now it sounds like the dog ate their homework.

⚖️👀See what the judge said about why this matters⬇️

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
"Judge Sophie Buckley said: ‘There is an extremely strong public interest in enabling scrutiny of the data, models and calculations which underpin the CCC’s conclusion that the net zero target could be met at an annual resource cost of up to 1-2 per cent of GDP.
"‘Any errors in the calculations that led to the CCC’s conclusions, which, in turn, led to the legislative change, have the potential to have a very significant impact on the lives and finances of large numbers of people, [...]

😱A scary development which I explored on @CommonsTreasury: Britcoin could enable a dramatic increase in state control of our lives.

The article contains an error on bank lending. Via @bankofengland,

"Money creation in practice differs from some popular misconceptions -"...
"- banks do not act simply as intermediaries, lending out deposits that savers place with them, and nor do they ‘multiply up’ central bank money to create new loans and deposits."

There's a huge amount wrong with our current monetary system but giving even more power to central banks to intervene in our lives is not the right answer.

Monetary socialism of this kind was a factor in getting us into this mess. It would be good to have a market solution.

🚨🚨🚨
🚷A two-tier society is back: Covid-status certification will be “encouraged”

🤝Govt must not restrict basic freedoms only to restore them to some

🐇We are so far down the rabbit hole, we have forgotten we fell in
📉This is not about nightclubs: there is no limit to where Covid-status certification can be used

🗽Our civil liberties are not a stick to beat those who can’t be, or choose not to be, vaccinated

% of over 50s not vaccinated by ethnicity: White 6%, South Asian 15%, Black 31%
👉Let us be clear: this is extraordinary

🚫We never accepted ID cards yet any business can now demand your health status

@BorisJohnson on ID cards "I'll take that card out of my wallet & physically eat it in the presence of whatever emanation of the state demanded I produce it"

⚖️"To every subject of this land, however powerful, I would use Thomas Fuller's words over three hundred years ago, ‘Be ye never so high, the law is above you.’"

☝️Lord Denning 1899–1999, a British judge

💡It's an idea we must recover and preserve.

😳No one should be allowed or enabled to circumvent laws which suppress the rights of others, however necessary restrictions may or may not be.
