hamstersarse, no, I'm not joking.
Oh.
Well, with the Coronavirus act there were additional powers to control the movement of people. Public Health officials have been given extensive powers to control the movement of any one found to be infectious and to call on the police to enforce their directions. The Secretary of State now has extensive powers to forbid 'events' or 'gatherings' and to close premises for the purpose of controlling the transmission of Covid-19.
However, the important point to note is that apart from the power to prevent events or gatherings, the Coronavirus Act conferred no power to control the lives of healthy people.
Yet, here we are with lots of healthy people who have lost their rights to movement and to gather.
We need people like Lawrence Fox to be questioning these powers.
We all surely know what could happen if we just let a government strip away these rights without challenge?
