Prepare to be confined to your home again. Prepare to be prevented from working and put on a state dole. Prepare to have your education trashed.
Prepare to be banned from travelling and required to show wads of paper or permit intrusive apps to be installed on your phone.
I can't say when this will be. But after last week's parliamentary report on the Covid panic, you may be sure it will happen. Next time it may well not be Covid. But that does not matter.
A terrifying principle has been established, that shutting down society is a wise and proportionate response to a disease.
If you want to know how bad this can get in a supposedly free country, look at what has been going on, over and over again, in the Australian state of Victoria and especially in that once-delightful city of Melbourne.
A bullying and overbearing police force has allowed itself to be used to enforce the orders of a not very intelligent head of government. Life has been miserable, confined and under surveillance.
And nobody knows when this will stop or whether it will start again.
I mention this because I am pretty sure that the next time our country goes for a national shutdown, it will be much better prepared and have many fewer loopholes than it had last time...

"So we're not locking down people across the board. We are instead locking down people who have not got vaccinated to protect themselves and everybody else."
And soon the vaccinated will start to become infected and cases will skyrocket and the currently vaccinated will be deemed unvaccinated if they fail to get a booster shot
This is Peter writing about England, not the U.S.
His brother became a U.S. citizen after 9/11.
People can’t comply their way out of tyranny.
Not in the UK.
Not anywhere else.
This will only end when we refuse to comply.
“A terrifying principle has been established, that shutting down society is a wise and proportionate response to a disease”
There are a number of people who believe that it’s practice for future climate change shutdowns imposed by leftist environmentalists.
2nd amendment ping.
LOL.. to the idea of there being no escape.
Thank you, as I almost did think this was the late Christopher—but was puzzled by the wrong first name and the fact that he is... Well, dead!
That being said, Peter makes several salient points that could also easily apply to the United States.
How to avoid?
Don’t vote democrat or RINO.
You’re welcome.
For me, it was identifying where he was coming from & his target audience, which is British.
Aimed at the British audience also mentioning Australia.
People in leadership and politics warn about China but I ignore them and insist they clean up the act here in the USA and nations that are supposed to be our allies like the UK and Australia before I worry about China.
China and COVID seems to me to be a distraction from the tyranny in Western nations which is unacceptable and a non-starter.
I hated his brother with a passion. An atheistic idiot.
Brits are slaves/sheep who are proud of their status as serfs. You can tell this by the way they act contemptuously of our right to keep and bear arms. The snide comments they make etc. H. L. Mencken once said Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. I guess that’s the kind of Democracy practiced in England (and NY and Chicago etc.).
There are other situations where the tyranny could be employed:
—War, civil or foreign (”War is the health of the state.”)
—Infrastructure breakdown due to cyber-terrorism (and nobody can hold a candle to NSA if they wanted to do a false flag on that front—they can spoof any other nation’s IP addresses and method of operation very easily).
—Fake gray alien invasion (yes, the elites have been white-boarding that scenario as well)
etc
Mencken also said On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
I can’t post what I am thinking.
permit intrusive apps to be installed on your phone.

First they would have to force me to have a phone as I have neither land line nor cell nor do I want either.
‘An atheistic idiot.’
just curious; is he individually an atheistic idiot, or do you think atheists en masse are idiots...?
Of course there's the “DNA/ pre-code’’ argument that is something they seem to have a problem answering, there's the intelligent design argument and Einsteins belief in God but to lump them altogether as idiot? I'd take them on a case by case basis. But I didn't like Christopher Hitchens at all. Ironic , don't you think that a man so stridently convinced religion was a joke and people were fools to believe in it. Rather ironic , don't you think for such a man to have the name that ostensibly means ''bearer of Christ''? Further I read somewhere, whether or not true but in his final days, near the end of his life he began to have second thoughts about his atheistic beliefs. I saw something posted here in FR once. "I think atheism is a great religion. It takes as much faith to believe there is no God as it takes to believe there is one''.
