I find this outrageous.

Love them or hate them, you can't deny that the Stasi got things done.

Yes, lots of "things" got done by them, that's true enough.

That law never came into force as it was found that the minister who wanted it was a director of the firm manufacturing the breathalisers.

Gosh, so they stopped a law because they discovered the minister pushing it was corrupt? Has anyone suggested this radical concept in the UK?

We'd have no laws whatsoever if politicians with vested intetests were banned from creating them

This is why the Stasi in Germany had so much information they could barely handle it: people dobbed anyone they didn't like for anything, true or not.

I don't think they had to dislike them to dob them in, they had to meet there quota. Plus once they were dobbed in they had to dob in other people or face jail.
Anyway I don't see anything wrong in dobbing in the ex out of spite. Revenge is sweet!

And now I hear that the Track and Trace app is going to be mandatory. Take up is low, and if it doesn't improve then phone companies will have to include it in an update, and you won't be able to uninstall it.

Guess what will happen after this is all over? Yup, the app will stay compulsory meaning the Police State will he able to monitor all of us 24 hours a day, every day.

All to protect the National Virus Service. And what has Parliament done about it? Nothing, because our MPs are not allowed to debate the matter. Laws have simply been imposed on us by "Government Scientists"

How will it be mandatory when many people don't own a smartphone, or even own a mobile phone at all? Will I get a Galaxy S10 on prescription?

It's not even mandatory to download or use it even if you do have a smartphone. Fake news.

The Deliveroo App will become mandatory

Where did you hear that?

From where? The voices in your head perhaps?

Ten grand maximum fine if you test positive or are tracked by contact tracing and don't self isolate. Which of course will encourage people to get tested...

Perhaps the students that are bleating about being confined to their rooms could try visting there and see how they get on.

Better still, send the people who are bleating about the students.

 

[Drago]

That would start to get awfully confusing.

Would be very much in keeping with the rest of this thread then...

Sorry but a serious question, if your household is 8 people, mum, dad, 2x grandparents & 4 ankle biters, is there dispensation?
