    well, IMO - it's now a clear and ever-present danger

    sailorgirl is correct - there wasn't much fuss about it from people or opposition

    I can understand that the opposition stood aside and let the government do it's thing - in an emergency

    to me - that's a reasonable thing - because 'it's an emergency' and governments shouldn't be hampered by political footballing during real emergencies

    but, in the end ------ no one kicked up a fuss - hardly at all

    I think that people AND the oppositions should have at the very least after the gate was closed - to hammer the government and asked -

    ok, under what conditions are you going to lift the restrictions on freedom of travel

    but, no - there was zip ----------- everyone just sat back and sucked it up -


    the point is that in future - some government may well want to do the same kind of thing and can now justify it by saying ------------- 'it's happened before, we did it in 2020'and people accepted it

    yeah right - that's exactly part of the power of precedent
