Potentially, maybe, could be, might be, yadda, yadda.
I was more talking about the penalty imposed.
There are time ps when a government has to use extraordinary powers, I acknowledge that. This is not one one of those times.
The initial wave was brought Under control without the use of draconian powers, the nation cooperated, as they saw the numbers, they saw the urgency.
The numbers now are not there, the NHS is not overwhelmed, People are rightly questioning are approach. So instead of trying again to bring the nation with them, with evidence, with rationale, the government are instead employing the jackboot.
