Under the new law, "The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Collection of Contact Details etc. and Related Requirements) Regulations 2020," UK citizens that want to use bars, cafés, pubs, restaurants, and even workplace cafeterias, from today, will be legally required to hand over several pieces of personal information to enter. This personal information includes their name, contact information (which can include a phone number, email address, or postal address), and the date and time they entered the premises. If people want to enter as part of a group, they'll also have to provide details of how many people are in their group. Additionally, the law lists other businesses that are legally required to display QR codes or collect personal information from those that don't scan QR codes. including "leisure and tourism services" (such as casinos, clubs providing sporting activities, hotels, leisure centres, swimming pools, music recording studios that are open to the public, and public libraries) and "close physical contact services" (such as barbers, beauticians, dress fitters, hairdressers, nail bars and salons, skin and body piercing services, tailors, sports and massage therapists, and tattooists), and "services provided for social, cultural and recreational purposes" (such as community centres and village halls). However, these other businesses have an exemption to the legal requirement to refuse entry.
Well at least there's some good news in there. My public library won't be able to 'bar' me when I go in next week to photocopy my protest leaflets. 😊
I refer my grandkids to this:
Chart on a wall!
Not enough people asking questions these days!
I have an alter ego! Only way. Read a lot of books about East Germany. Very helpful!
How easy does it seem to be to be able to pass a new law without any parliamentary discussion they laws they introduce seem to based on threat of punishment if you don't comply
I have been into my local café they didn't ask me for any details I did see the scanner thing fortunately I cannot scan anything I would just say my name is Boris Johnson the long lost son that on one knows about I refuse to be a spy I don't work for GCHQ or the government
I have downloaded the NHS covid19 app like a good citizen.
However it is on my old phone, which is registered to a throwaway gmail account and is being powered by an anonymous supermarket PAYG sim card.
WiFi, mobile data and all location services are turned off unless I am outside a premises I intend to go in.
I will use it to check in as required, but there is no f**king way they are keeping tabs on me when I just want a pint.
We all need to do what we think is best for ourselves. Even though I attended the protest, and I'm quite vocal about my feelings. I still consider myself to be part of the 'underground movement.' Can't let the other side know too much about what you are doing. Take a leaf out of 'Mr Staker's' book.😉 One of those lovely police enforcement officers who went on to baton the crowd yesterday, tried to chivvy this little old dear away from the nasty violent protesters and out of harms way. Soon as their back was turned, I was back out peddling my 'anti Government propaganda'. 😊
Well my name will be Phillip Ian Staker (P.I.Staker or pistaker) and I have a phone number that sounds very British but ends up in India
@Grumpy Cat so you think its a waste of time responding to this email as I suggest? thats all I'm trying to find out... If people think its worth identifying yourself in order to make a point in this particular case... thats all. Thanks for your take on it😊
commonsense - I'm not adverse to proving my identity and I'm not scared. I have barraged my doctor, the NHS, every MP in the country constantly. They certainly know who I am and what I think of them. Especially for fiddling the figures and killing people off. They probably think I'm a complete nutter. Track and trace is mandatory, but giving your details via a mobile phone is not. Many oldies like my Mum don't have a mobile or the internet. Although I tell the beggars absolutely what I think of their ridiculous rules and mandates, I don't tell them what I'm up to. Got to keep some things under my hat.
@Grumpy Cat , it just came through on my laptop.. if you're registered with a doctor you are likely to receive the email. I was really just asking what folk thought if we all responded to the emails telling them that we are not going to comply. Putting our names to the responses show we are not scared. But does it just enable them to target us individually when they make track and trace mandatory. Because by staying under the radar, they can 'make' us do anything.
commonsense - I don't have an Android, so I haven't received such messages. You can send it if you want, but I'm just ignoring the beggars wherever I go. There were thousands at Trafalgar Square yesterday protesting, but the response was basically 'shut up and stop being so selfish spreading the virus.' We know what we are up against.
I received a round robin email today reminding me to download the test and trace app. I have absolutely no intention of doing so, but having skimmed the privacy notice there is an email address where you can ask to manage any information you do provide. I wondered if it is worth responding to this email in the following way
I would like it noted that I fundamentally disagree with the Covid 19 track and trace system. I believe it is a criminal waste of taxpayers money and should be stopped immediately.
My reasons for this objection:
Covid 19 is not dangerous to the vast majority of the population.
Tracking and tracing unnecessarily isolates thousands of healthy people
The economy cannot recover with constant lock downs
The education system is being crippled by constant lock down.
Human relationships and mental health are being pushed to breaking point by isolation.
The money and energy spent on track and trace should be used to protect the vulnerable.
Testing is neither efficient, effective, or infallible.
The Government response to Covid 19 is vastly disproportionate to the threat the virus poses.
I will not participate in Track and Trace.
I would need to provide proof of identity, which I'm not adverse to doing. Any thoughts?
Greetings Mon Ami,
I am with you and share your fine taste in the golden era that has passed.
I would trade everything i own for a time machine to start life again back then.
Infact I am so disatisfied with living in BlandWorld that I am thinking of walking down Whitehall with a crucifix and offer myself for death.
( Let's face it - they could probably do with another one for the figures )
Actually maybe not, I am enjoying working on the James Bond project too much, with my new found friends at HGM.
Have a wonderul week my feline friend.
Apologies for not being able to find a pink one for you this morning.
But a panther it is none the less.
Seasons Greetings from Sunny Sussex Amigo.💛
Laurence.
KEEP PANTHERS FREE
( Because masks for panthers is really not a good look.)
Laurence - I pardon your French. I'm known to use the same expletives most days too. I don't watch much TV myself. I only take a peek at the mainstream media news to see what draconian measures the Government are bringing in next, so I can be prepared and avoid them! 😂
I loved Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan (absolute genius's). Also what would now be deemed 'politically incorrect' comedy shows like Love Thy Neighbour and Till Death Us Do Part. My absolute favourite was Rising Damp with Rigsby and Vienna the cat. I loved the 60's and 70's era. I wish I could be transported back there now. You don't realise how good something was until it's gone. 😢
See you next time GC💛
Laurentius.
Laurence - Even in my darkest hour, you make me laugh. You are my absolute saviour! ❤️ How did you know I liked the Pink Panther? Such a 'cool dude'. He's looking at me now from my glass cabinet as I type this message.
You want some more news? I can give you some if you want:
'People in England who refuse an order to self-isolate could be fined up to £10,000, the government has said. The new legal duty requires people to self-isolate if they test positive for coronavirus, or are traced as a close contact, from 28 September.'
Happy Sunday to all on KBF. Enjoy your freedom while you can. I know you will always be 'free' Laurence, just like me.😊
Thanks for the information GC and hope all is good with you.
As my friend the great Paul Joesph watson would say :
" Give me a fucking break "
Have a happy sunday my friend.
And please as I have told you before - please be careful out there.
Because it is so bloody dangerous with this killer virus everywhere I turn.
Garbage in garbage out. The first rule of data. Feeding false information is an act of resistance
