Well people complaining, probably ignorant twats, isn’t the same as a concerted attack on your civil liberties.
But you (and I) are programmed to expect **** from governments, it’s what government does. Since when has **** been consistent? People like us want to get rid of government, don’t we, not say ‘let me sit on a seat in peace and I’m all happy’? Wrong battle I think mate, unless you have changed your perspective and become a ****ing democratic socialist.
We have a collective social contract to try and slow the spread of a disease because we don’t want our health services to implode. We will see if the strategy is correct in time. As individuals part of that contract is restrictions on our personal movement. They are not very enforceable restrictions, and some of them are a bit daft, as the only one that really matters is the two metre rule. Of course I am 100% certain that you two will follow this one rule and as far as I’m concerned the others can be safely ignored as they apply to you. But I am not convinced by any means that everyone else either understands or is committed to following the rules, even the key one (in fact from personal experience I know they are not). So unless you are prepared to vouch for everyone else, which I don’t think you are in a position to do, we need rules and we need at least the pretence that they can be enforced. Of course they should be explained better and be applied more consistently, but I’m afraid that though I trust you guys to exercise common sense I don’t trust everyone to.
