in UK, with single digit daily covid deaths, they’re getting more insane:

12 Sept: Daily Mail: Save our children’s Christmas! Covid crackdown poll shows Britons want under-12s to be exempt from draconian rule of six – as Tory backbenchers savage ‘grotesque’ restriction
•Voters and Tory back benchers are urging Boris Johnson to implement another U-turn on the rule of six
•Graham Brady of the 1922 Committee called on the PM to follow Nicola Sturgeon’s lead on restrictions
•Unlike England, families in Scotland will not have to include children under 12 in their rule of six
•So far, Downing Street is refusing to back down despite the unpopularity of the policy according to a new poll
By Simon Walters and Daniel Martin
A Daily Mail poll showed more than four in ten support a U-turn on the policy, letting grandparents see their families over the festive season. Tory backbenchers savaged the ‘grotesque’ restriction which, from Monday, bans groups of seven or more in a bid to halt a second wave of coronavirus.

In Scotland and Wales such gatherings are also outlawed – but children under 12 are exempt. Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 committee of Tory backbenchers, called on Mr Johnson to follow suit...
Downing Street is refusing to back down, even though young children are much less likely to catch or spread Covid-19. Officials said an age threshold would make enforcement too difficult for police officers...

Michael Gove helped push through the Rule of 6 despite the strong opposition of cabinet colleagues...
‘Michael was driving this. For some time now he’s been consistently on the side of the toughest, most heavy-handed approach,’ the source said...
The survey found that 41 per cent of voters say the PM should exempt youngsters, compared with 32 per cent who disagree. It also shows that a third of families have had their plans for Christmas disrupted by the rule of six. Three quarters believe that most people will ignore the limit anyway...

The Mail’s poll, by JL Partners, found that well over half of people back the view that the Government’s anti-coronavirus strategy shows signs of ‘panic’, and agree that millions are using the pandemic as an ‘excuse’ not to return to their workplace...
But many people draw the line at tougher penalties. A total of 46 per cent say it should not be an arrestable offence, against 43 per cent who say it should. Three quarters say the Government’s overall Covid message is ‘confusing’, while only 12 per cent say it is not...

Sky UK (owned by Comcast/NBC Universal) had discussion about the above poll today. had a conservative journalist on who said it must be an outlier, because Brits love draconian (his word) measures being put in place.

Sky also began their news broadcast with 5 minutes about Birmingham covid hysteria. checked online and Birmingham had had 2 deaths, their first in seven days!

what a scam.

I see you, little troll....

1. Troll? How many times have you been suspended from FreeRepublic for being an arse and for breaking the rules? I haven't been...…..Troll.

2. p.s. You didn't post to her, btw.

Actually, I did. So sorry she has to call you in to be the FreeRepublic arse, but that's your job I guess.

3. Yes it is. Oh. You thought the derps weren't going to fight back? How naive.

Wait a minute - don't you claim "WE HAVE IT ALL!"

Yes, you do.

It seems your god (little "g") isn't doing so well.

So what is your latest secular promise? Justice? Free Beer?

It's all a joke. The Department of Injustice is NEVER going to arrest the criminals, from Obama on down. The US military is not going to fly these criminals down to GITMO and put them in front of a tribunal. Just like I told you years ago. You would not listen then, and you will not listen now.
