    Ok, I'll rephrase. Which freedoms are dwindling in your view?

    The freedoms of choice. Some like where one can go on a holiday destination, what you have to wear to enter a certain premise, the right to protest against something you believe in, the choice as to whether to have a vacine or not, to name a few

    Most of those are Covid related and will improve in due course. How has the right to protest been curtailed do you think?

    Again i never said it had mate im just listing a few things where freedom of choice has been taken away to some extent. Most are covid related and whether they will improve will remain to be seen. Were you after some other specific cause?
    Sorry, i mis read your post goldy, ignore my opening sentence

    Compared to 3 years ago, my freedom of choice has really dwindled mainly due to coronavirus. Apologies Goldy, i didnt read your post properly and may have got my wires crossed somewhere

    Some good news coming out today regarding business. Just listening now. They are saying that U.K. companies are investing 50% more in apprenticeships and U.K. is getting record investment.
    The pound is hitting new highs €1.20 which is now back to where it was before the pandemic.

    Labour now want to use flexibility of Brexit to remove 5% VAT on energy bills, which was not allowed to do under EU rules!
