🧵 The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations have returned since they were last revoked on 18th March 2022.

Coming into force at 0400 on 5th Jan & set to expire on 4th April 2023.

Brief summary in this thread ⤵️

legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/2/ma… Image
1⃣ Even though Parliament remain on recess until Jan 9th, the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 has been used to exercise this Statutory Instrument.

No impact assessment has been provided & there's no indication of a review every 28 days by @Mark_J_Harper
2⃣ The regulations extend to those departing from mainland #China excluding #HongKong #Macao.

Travellers are required to "possess notification of a negative result from a test for #SARSCoV2" under Reg 3(1)(a)(b) incl. those over 12 years old.
3⃣ Part 3, Reg 6,7 refers to airline operators legal obligation to check for COVID documents & to retain/provide records & information for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
4⃣ Part 4, Reg 8,9 refers to offences, penalties, & fixed penalty notices (FPN) against travellers & airline operators for committing offences under Regulations.

Penalties range from £500-£4,000.
5⃣ Very few exemptions apply to passengers. Even if transiting through a third country *to* the #UK, the legislation stands.

It's not clear however how regs apply where the passenger transits the UK to a destination with no restrictions on Chinese passengers.

🗓️ One year ago today, 369 MP's voted to implement the 'Health Protection (Entry to Venues) S.I. No. 1416, requiring certain businesses to request the domestic #NHS COVID Pass for entry.

126 MP's voted against these measures.

All of this despite the best efforts from common cause organisations along with the public, as well as a report by @CommonsPACAC dated 12th June 2021 urging the Govt not to introduce these #PlanB measures.

votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/…
On Feb 9th '21, the former PM @BorisJohnson under enormous pressure from the CRG & in the wake of the resignation of Lord Frost, decided to drop the last remaining restrictions one month early incl. Plan B #vaccinepassports as part of the Govt's 'Living with COVID' plan.

🚨 The World Health Assembly INB group will meet 5-7 Dec to consider a 'conceptual zero draft' (CZD) regarding 'pandemic prevention, preparedness and response'.

Proceedings can be followed live from the press release below (h/t @WAPFLondon)

Recommended reading on some critical Q&A by
@WHO incl. potential targeted amendments under the IHR (2005) also known as our current 'pandemic treaty'.

One of the most concerning aspects for people is the notion that any new pandemic accord will automatically usurp WHO member states own governments & their domestic legislation.

🧵 As reported by @PublicTech, the 'National Communications Data Service' will be able to filter out #UK citizens internet connection records (ICR) through a National Service by the end of 2022.

When the Home Office, NCA & 16 leading internet providers were questioned - silence.
🔴 According to @PublicTech, no official announcement was made by the Govt or other authorities about the expansion of these activities into a National Service, which would allow LEA's to access info on sites visited by #UK citizens.
🔴 No correspondence was answered by the @IPCOffice, a statutory body whose role is to “oversee the use of covert investigatory powers by public authorities".

When telcos were approached to comment if they'd support this service & how they'd provide data - silence.

🧵 Thanks to info from @PublicTech, we reported on the new 'National Situation Centre' who awarded a six month contract to @Telefonica_En for access to its 'Motion & Data Insights' service.

The data provided to SitCen by @O2 represents around a third of the #UK population.
'02 Motion' claim that customer data is 'aggregated & anonymised'. To our knowledge this data is being shared without customer knowledge or consent.

'Anonymised' could mean either fully anonymised or 'pseudo-anonymised' - where data could be re-identified. This isn't clear.
'SitCen' was created in 2021 to help govt 'anticipate' & track crises, & 'support response to events, e.g. future public health emergencies', as well as terrorist incidents & other NATSEC issues.

With terrorism & NATSEC it would be necessary to be able to identify data, no?

🧵Over the past few days there's been much speculation regarding point 23 of the #G20 Leaders Declaration & global #vaccinepassports. Our analysis:

1⃣ The use of digital/non digital solutions for another respiratory virus like 'pandemic' are *useless*.

consilium.europa.eu/media/60201/20… Image
2⃣ There's *no joint ratification or amendment* of point 23 under the existing IHR (2005).

3⃣ Again, no matter the recognition or 'success' as they call it, re: digital #COVID19 certificates, they've been as useless as a chocolate fireguard over the past two years.
4⃣ The WHO published a guide last year on tech specs & implementation of digital documentation.

This acts as *guidance & recommendation*. It cannot be mandated under the IHR, even with a targeted Annex 6 amendment.

This doesn't override the decisions of its member states. Image

We've noticed a lot of drama re-emerging with the @DCMS IDVT (Identity Verification Technology) & the use of IDSP's (Identity Service Providers) which is something that we & @TruthTalkUK covered since 2021.

Some call it 'the end of freedom', but let's revisit what it is: Image
Since April 2022, landlords, employers & DBS checks may be conducted by using a IDSP to verify British or Irish citizens ID credentials.

The 'objective' is to improve mobility & to enhance security rather than using less secure methods. This *maybe* useful for remote workers. Image
The most important thing to note - not only is the scheme *not mandatory*, but other methods of verification must be made available for onboarding such as doing so in person e.g. landlord/employer or using the relevant UK Govt gateway in the process, e.g. DBS. Image
