We are losing a huge and I mean huge amount of freedom in the UK today.
The government promised the covid restrictions would just be for the dutation of the lockdowns. They said they had to bring in the extra restrictions thanks to the BLM and climate protests. Of course current laws allowed to police to take action but they wanted more and they wanted covid as cover for this.
It would have worked to except last Saturday there was a planned vigil for a girl who had been abducted and killed by a serving policeman. The police went full robocop on these woman under the covid laws of banning protests ( they didn't steam in with the angry BLM and climate protestors for some reason...)
So now when this goes through it means the draconian laws that were here temporarily are now even stronger. If you push a statue into a river you can get 10 years. If you make a noise or are deemed a nuisance at a protest you can get held at her majesty's pleasure for a long time.
I'd they hadn't gone in so violently against the women we would never have known what future awaits. So the covid laws have become life as was predicted by many of the Muh freedom types in here.
