What do you expect? There was a guy in the supermarket not wearing a mask!!! And there was a house party somewhere too!!!!
That's ****ing outrageous. Just like the great Argentinian corned beef Typhoid outbreak of 1964 they should quarantine us for a few months. Actually, might be quite good, now that I think of it.
Loosing our civil liberties is never good, Drew. Especially when there is zero evidence to show that the restrictions have made any difference and plenty of evidence that they have caused deaths, unemployment and societal carnage as well as allowing the corrupt shower to run up a war time debt to pay for their decision to ransack our economy.

When you look at the data that's available, and get a sense of the amount of people that are pissed off with the fannying about and lies, it's an open goal for an opposition party to put forward a palatable proposition, knowing it will never be enacted, and try to slap some sense into some of the measures proposed, especially given the long term health as well as political impacts. There's a reasonable critique of the defence offered for the current process here. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/michael-gove-s-lockdown-claims-a-review-of-the-evidence Looking at the figures, there's little to suggest that the tiered system is liable to be successful, and it could result in more deaths from other issues. For me, a better approach would be to take advantage of being an island, and severely restrict travel in and out, open up the Country push the personal hygiene and social distancing etc, and have greater and more rapid access to credible testing for those showing symptoms or coming in to contact with infected people, followed up with strict isolation and treatment for those that are found to be positive. The cost would be far less than current measures, and the impact more effective, with less damage to the wider public and the economy. It would also highlight companies that are putting workers at risk due to inadequate measures that pay lip service to safety. This could now be enhanced by a vaccine programme. One flaw in that, that would need to be addressed, are the high percentage of people that acquire the virus in a hospital. This is in line with the WHO. Dr Nabarro says 'We in the WHO do not advocate lockdowns as a primary means of control...the only time we feel a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganise, regroup and rebalance your resources..but by and large, we'd rather not do it"
Basically because they have no idea what they want or not enough guts to back it. Anyone in the house should be made to vote for or against something as compulsory, abstaining is a total neglect of duty and a way of getting out of any blame if your vote goes wrong.
