Corona Virus Treatment

Laws can be challenged in the courts and reversed. These things aren't imposed - they have to go through the Lords/Parliament - Parliament has the final say so and we have the power to change Parliament through election - as we did when they started messing about with Brexit.

IMHO the UK is the best place in the world to live.

This is going slightly off topic.

 

Realistically I can only remember one protest that actually changed things and that was the poll tax one.
Most marches and protests achieve absolutely nothing and I think its probably the same people on most of them.

 

I have been trying hard to find a single scintilla of common sense in Boris´s question, :--
"If not now, when?"
I have failed miserably, it doesn´t form any kind of argument, explanation, or logic.
This is the rhetoric of Imelda Marcos and Idi Amin, revealing contempt for the questioner and the question.
Had they not had the immeasurable irony to style themselves "Public Servants" I might not have realised it was actually a pantomime.

 

Just read this is only from 7pm on Fridays through the weekend and on holidays and only in High Risk counties ... Algarve now has 9 out of 16 High Risk counties since the Tourist Season began, our county being one. Our numbers have quadrupled but our positive figures are being calculated against our normal population number ... not fair! It is a big issue with our Mayors lobbying the Government.

Today is a National Holiday, Portugal Day.

 

I see where you are coming from, and your clarity exceeds his by a country mile.
What I´m wondering is, if we abandoned High Speed Rail, spent no more on weapons, raided the Banks for some of their illegal profits, established a Land Tax, and stopped squaffing millions to Friends of Boris, would the government be in a better position to support the country where it really needs it ?

As you see, John, I have but one foot on this planet, and its ways are a matter of great curiosity.

 

You haven't got it too bad there ... here ...

• Mandatory telework when activities allow;
• Limitation of circulation on public roads from 11 pm;
• The digital certificate or a negative test is now required inside the restaurants (and not on the terrace), on Fridays from 7 pm and during weekends and holidays.
• Restaurants and cafes can be open until 22:30 during the week and until 15:30 at the weekend (indoor, with a maximum of 4 people per group; on the terrace, 6 people per group);
• Cultural shows until 22:30;
• Weddings and baptisms with 25% of the capacity;
• Food retail trade until 9pm during the week and until 7pm on weekends and holidays;
• Non-food retail trade until 9 pm during the week and until 3:30 pm on weekends and holidays;
• Gyms without group classes, low and medical risk sports
• Outdoor events with reduced capacity, to be defined by the DGS;
• Citizen offices with face-to-face service by appointment only

I am not complaining as it does not affect my lifestyle.

 

Sounds a bit serious Victoria, of course here in the Alpujarra we thought about that too.
Then we thought "Nah, let´s close the road and race rally cars."
So we did that instead.

 

Ahh the perfect society.

Can you mention one country that operates under such a system.

You forgot to mention completely stopping foreign aid.

 

Somehow missed this bit ...

The Certificate is required in tourist establishments and local accommodation, every day and throughout the national territory;

Not good, and yesterday we had 3,162 nationally and 320 in Algarve. I shall stay seconded and safe in my orchards.

 

I can but dream pete, and if such a Utopia existed, I would keep it a secret lest it be immediately bombed in the name of Democracy.
And you´re right, I forgot.

 

We (Portimao) are hosting the GPMoto again this year. We went to the first one, great! No spectators I guess.
