In this example the right to liberty is limited therefore can be restricted...as long as it is for a fair and valid reason | |||

I'm not totally convinced you understand the concept of human rights" I’m not sure you understand them either if I’m totally honest. It’s my human right for my elected government at act in a way that safe guards me and other residents of the country. So if that restricts what I can/can not do for a period of time then so be it. Think you really should stop trying to fight an argument that isn’t there. The vast majority of UK residents are abiding by the rules in place because they value there lives. The lives of other and also our health service. This is done by choice. People are still choosing not to go out for anymore than is allowed. You can still go out. The government haven’t banned going out which would be against out humans rights as they allow us the right to shop for food, go to work (profession specific). They allowing us to go for medication and health care when needed. They even allowing time to exercise. Therefore allowing us all the things we need to survive. Yes we might not be living our best lives but at least we still have lives and if we follow the rules more of us will have our lives for much longer than if we didn’t follow them. Simple | |||

"Regardless of whether you think lockdown is great or a waste of time did you know that your right to go outside whenever you wanted to was something that could be withdrawn if the government saw fit? What exactly is your point OP? To establish whether you knew your human rights were something that could be withdraw" So, over the past hour or so we’ve established why (some) human rights can be limited and qualified. We’ve also established that this is entirely legal. Has your query been resolved OP? | |||

Do you identify as a freeman of the land and what is your opinion on vaccination?" I don't think we should ever promise to follow all laws that a government imposes because that would lead to us denouncing someone like Sophie Scholl who opposed the German government in 1942. With vaccination I would be more accepting of it if there was not so much money to be made from it and they were more honest about whats in them and their side effects | |||

I see cancer patients not being diagnosed or treated. I see young people's lives being destroyed with no chance of ever being able to afford a home of their own. I see thousands upon thousands of businesses being destroyed and unemployment hitting 5 or 6 million."Cancer patients go undiagnosed all the time unfortunately as people put off going to see GP. Those with concerns are still able to seek medical attention and diagnosis n treatment is still happening. I know someone who has having treatment as an outpatient yesterday in a general hospital. As for young people not being able to buy a home. This isn’t a new thing because of covid. It’s been an issue on the horizon for years n years. And businesses will unfortunately fold. But I’m sure if you ask any business owner they’d rather be alive than dead. So on the whole they’ll follow the rules. | |||

Thank you. I’m not a dancer but I’ve personally loved the videos I’ve seen flying around other social media platforms. I love seeing other people doing it. Especially when times are so difficult. We need ways to get through the days "Was talking to a family member, currently looking after newborns now on the covid wards.. She said she's been to knackered to even think of doing it but it made her smile seeing it.. | |||

"It just seems such a massive infringement of our civil liberties that it should come with regular estimates of how much longer this policy will be implemented Saying it won't be lifted until there is no chance of a second peak is too vague and could be anytime in the next 2 years Which is why the statutory instrument is reviewed every three weeks... But they are not saying anything every three weeks other than it's going to be another three weeks there's only been one three week review so far? In two weeks they will say it will be another three weeks and everyone on here will accept it - no questions asked I honestly feel like you have too much time on your hands OP. Maybe you could use your time more productively and sign up to volunteer in your local NHS trust as they’re all struggling at the moment I’m sure they would value your input there. I say this as an NHS keyworker who is still working. I work in the the NHS ... So you probably have some understanding of why this is happening and the extreme strain the service is under?
I’d like to know there role in the nhs. Are they front line or not to see if they truly understand why we’re doing this. I’ll go first and say I’m a nurse.
Well whatever you do don't tell the Op you've done something like a bit of dancing to stress out or lighten the mood, he's opposed to that too..
for what your doing..

"Even the very fact you are voicing your concerns is an indication you do not live in dictatorship. There are different degrees of dictatorship. " Well yeah I suppose there is. It's a sliding scale and like all things in life nothing is black or white, just different shades of grey. | |||

"Did you honestly think that they couldn't do this, we live in a dictatorship not a democracy. The "freedoms" and " rights" you think you have are only the ones they want you to have and can be taken away anytime they want. " As its for the good of the majority I see very little choice as you always get the minority of idiots (or selfish) that only think of themselves and without understanding the bitter picture outside their own little world think they know better.  | |||

"I realise this, but debt isn't an uncommon problem. We have the resources more than many places. In all honesty we have fewer resources than a good many other countries. Our wealth came from sailing around plundering everywhere we went like pirate conquerors. Now it comes from ripping people offand charing interest. Britain is bankrupt look at the debt. " Looking at purely finances so are many countries our debt is less per capita than most (Italy, France , USA , Japan etc etc ) | |||

"Regardless of whether you think lockdown is great or a waste of time did you know that your right to go outside whenever you wanted to was something that could be withdrawn if the government saw fit? Do you identify as a freeman of the land and what is your opinion on vaccination? I don't think we should ever promise to follow all laws that a government imposes because that would lead to us denouncing someone like Sophie Scholl who opposed the German government in 1942. With vaccination I would be more accepting of it if there was not so much money to be made from it and they were more honest about whats in them and their side effects You have the right to stand for election and when you elected you can change things. Can’t say fairer than that really. We are living under a dictatorship. We just get to change who the dictators are every five years" My husband works for an oil and gas company and travels to some countries which may, on paper, not be classed as a dictatorship but to our western eyes are most certainly not a democracy. Try spending some time in one of these places and then come back and tell us all you live in a dictatorship. I really hate to say this but grow up. The only good thing, he's at home at the moment. Please stay in. | |||
