Yup, the UK is at this point in the middle of another set of lockdowns. However, the government hasn't even bothered to work out what they want this current imposition upon me to accomplish. They're just locking down for the hell of it.

I'm not even kidding. One of the notes on the legislation behind the current set of lockdowns is "We didn't perform an impact assessment". We're now at the point of faith-based policies imprisoning the population of the UK, and I'd like a discussion of my rights, because I've recently found out I don't have any. Rights that can be taken away at a whim by government - and I don't know how else to describe imposing a lockdown because "fuck it" are not actually rights, are they? They'r'e permissions. I'd like a discussion with someone about getting some rights, unless we're deciding that Westminster is just a Gothic-architecture Politburo.
