Blimey Salts I just read them. They look hard.
I keep wondering if the govt said, "they have to stay home for their own protection" and they meant black people or women or gay people wouldn't there be a huge storm?
Why is okay to treat the elderly as a voiceless, amorphous mass?
But then why do we let people behave in such anti-social ways? Singapore is probably the most regulated society I've visited. There I saw a group of young people on a Saturday night out stop by an overflowing wastebin that another person had knocked over. They got a black bag, filled it and took the contents away with them and set the wastebin the right way up. OK there was CCTV everywhere, but was that loss of liberty that promoted public-spiritedness worse than the freedom to have litter blowing everywhere?
And now they have Covid19 under control to the extent of 2 deaths …….. The freedom to die horribly on a hospital trolley doesn't seem worth much does it?
