The overreaching state

A new threat issued from Health Minister, Matthew Hancock, today. The government will introduce stronger measures, e.g. banning exercise outside the home, if “people” continue to flout edicts by foregathering (as distinct from twogathering?). There are parallels with traffic control which punishes the majority for the (often harmless) infringements of the minority. He should watch his step. The British public can be pushed too far. Why does it kowtow to an unacceptable traffic control system? Because it crept up on them unawares.
