Look into the police, crime and sentencing bill. The recent immigration act has taken a lot of rights from folk as well. 
 

There are worse things they are doing to ordinary folk than Covid restrictions, if anything the restrictions and the debate around them provide a useful distraction to the draconian, backwards laws they've passed in the last few years. 
 

 

Only thing I can see wrong with that is the restriction to protest which I'd argue they are bringing in to prevent protests against their bullshit Covid restrictions.  Certainly don't disagree with much of the below (taken from the BBC so could quite possibly be shite tbf)

What else does the legislation propose?

• Changing sentencing rules so that serious criminals spend more time in jail before they can be conditionally released
• Judges will be allowed to consider jailing child murderers for their entire lives
• Maximum sentences for low-level assaults against emergency service workers doubled to two years
• On terrorism, the bill creates powers to more closely monitor offenders released from prison
• Community sentences for less serious crime to address underlying problems in offenders' lives
• Changes to sexual offences law to tackle abusive adults in positions of trust, such as sports coaches and religious figures

Maybe that's why the latter has not yet responded to @NEM 's legitimate question asked an hour ago??

[Studebaker-90]

I get the impression that government and media relish the opportunity to hold restrictions over the publics heads. The fanatical way some news outlets report on it is scandalous but the politicians and experts with their rhetoric enable them to do it.

They've restricted the speed of a local road near me to 30mph when it used to be 40mph. Thing is you can easily bomb down this road at 80mph and still feel you are relatively in control of your car. 

Cunts. 

I know the very road you refer to. Pain in the tits

The ones that they've fired up all over? Ayr road covered in them. Then through Giffnock. Pain in the arse, and no need for them. Not seen 1 cyclist use the lanes yet

The Lock Inn ?

[manboobs109]

I've been down there on a barge. Was a fucking great piss up. Went on the wheel and that. Only fuck about is the locks but if you hold Falkirk to Edinburgh there aren't any, it's only if you head to Glasgow.

Glasgow is a fucking warzone to cycle in. I don't bike on the roads at all. 

The road surfaces are bad enough in a motor, never mind a bike. Don't see the appeal tbh anyway

The fallout from his comedowns are entertaining. 

It'll be interesting to hear his response to your earlier question as he is basing his assumption on two proposed Acts of Parliament that he seems to know a lot about, although both have yet to receive Royal Assent therefore aren't law as yet.

I note the BBC have conveniently not included police officers in the latter proposed provision.

Draconian?

I'm being 100% genuine here Consi and not trying to have a go at all. A lot of the reason the general public switch off to a lot of the rhetoric from the "left" is because a lot of it is so overblown and exaggerated and goes against what they see for themselves. Stuff about "authoritarian" and "facist" government and about them being "racist" and "evil"

They lose a lot of the argument as soon as words like that start getting used because it's so obviously exaggerated.

Look into the laws and get back to me, chief. 
 

It's not the lefts fault people in the UK are right wing cunts, generally lacking in empathy.

I'm sure they will be min, considering both bills have been passed through the Commons already. That's usually the toughest part for any bill to get through before becoming law.
