Has anyone seen what they hope to introduce in Northern Ireland in their new Public Health Bill? Perhaps a template for the rest of the UK in due course. Consultation closes 27/9.
https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/consultations/policy-proposals-inform-development-new-public-health-bill-northern-ireland
Paragraphs 61 and 76, dealing with the powers they want to give themselves, are particularly disturbing.

“61. The officer may for the purpose for which entry is authorised:
• search the premises;
• carry out measurements and tests of the premises or of anything found on them;
• take and retain samples of the premises or of anything found on them;
• inspect and take copies or extracts of any documents or records found on the premises;
• require information stored in an electronic form and accessible from the premises to be produced in a form in which it can be taken away and in which it is visible and legible or from which it can readily be produced in a visible and legible form; and
• seize and detain or remove anything which the officer reasonably believes to be evidence of any contravention relevant to the purpose for which entry is authorised.”

“76. The restrictions or requirements that may be imposed on a person by an order are that:
• the person submit to medical examination;
• the person be removed to a hospital or other suitable establishment;
• the person be detained in a hospital or other suitable establishment;
• the person be kept in isolation or quarantine;
• the person be disinfected or decontaminated;
• the person wear protective clothing;
• the person provide information or answer questions about the person’s health or other circumstances;
• the person’s health be monitored and the results reported;
• the person attends training or advice sessions on how to reduce the risk of infecting or contaminating others;
• the person be subject to restrictions on where the person goes or with whom the person has contact;
• the person abstains from working or trading.”

Left wing comedy seems to consist of streams of hate filled invective against anyone who isn’t a left winger (with a soft “G”) masquerading as satire.

“‘Vote for Trump in every state, not for me’” – “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is urging”

But here’s an interesting new thing:

Trump now stunningly promises a whole lot of immigrants… (substack.com)

“Trump: “We’re going to let a lot of people come in, because we need more people, especially with AI coming and all the different things. And the farmers need, everybody needs but we’re going to make sure they’re not murderers and drug dealers…”

Uh-huh. Sure.

So he’s reversing his position on the border.” Jon Rappoport

“Mass migration is tearing the EU to pieces” – “Germany’s decision to impose new controls at its borders is seismic, and may be just the beginning, writes Isabel Oakeshott”

Let’s hope so! And may I point out that the UK Sentencing Council guidelines recommend

THREE YEARS IN PRISON

FOR KNOWINGLY ENTERING THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.

So no more brand new furniture and brand new homes for these criminals, but fast-tracked straight to prison for three years each, suspended forever with immediate deportation to the Third World country of their choice. No appeals, no taxpayers’ money for lawyers, just fast-tracked like Starmer is fast-tracking British Patriots.
