    A strategy to mandate without a ‘legal’ mandate – it appears the UK is first in line to test the response to this psyop –

      The whole purpose is to keep pushing, in small increments, over and over–to see how far they can get this time around.

          Somebody (perhaps Thomas Jefferson) said that the price of democracy is eternal vigilance. But we’ve been too snugly and smugly comfortable in the past few years or decades to be vigilant, and tyranny is the outcome.
          Neither Thucydides nor Tacitus would have been surprised, because they and many other historians and philosophers described the transition from democracy to tyranny 2000 or 2500 years ago. They described, among other things,
          1. Claims that there is a current emergency, to justify “temporary” restrictions on traditional liberties.
          2. Claims that the government needs to be defended by armed force from “insurgents”.
          3. Claims that “injustice” needs to be corrected by redistribution of property.
          4. Claims that the previous government were a bunch of traitors.

          Whether it’s Pisistratus or Polycrates in Greece, the Gracchi or Julius Caesar in Rome, or Cromwell or Robespierre in more recent times, the excuses of the tyrants remain pretty much the same.

          As for Prime Minister X and President Y, all I can say is that I’m not brave enough to risk arrest.

              Thomas Jefferson; also is alleged to have said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time w/the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is its natural manure”.

              They are definitely pushing – it would be helpful if more pushed back – either by passive non-compliance or aggressive non-compliance if that’s one’s gig.

              Also in the UK, it seems that one can be arrested for distributing anti-vaccination leaflets. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-55933373
