Happy Friday all and welcome to the first installment of “Be Afraid!” where we will take a look at some small news item that you should mark well because, it can happen here!
While this story comes to us courtesy of the UK I am sure our leaders are up to challenge of keeping up.
Story linkUK Government May Only Let People Out ONCE A WEEK
And no talking in supermarkets
Some of the juicy bits.
Claiming that the National Health service is at breaking point, the government is said to be considering implementing stricter rules, including compulsory mask-wearing outdoors, and banning so called ‘extended bubbles’, where people are allowed to meet one person from another household.
Most chilling, however, is the revelation that cabinet ministers have privately debated preventing people from talking to each other in the street and in supermarkets, and even preventing people from leaving home more than once per week, and introducing curfews.
Oh, it gets better…
The source added that the government is discussing “making sure people aren’t using their own creativeness to interpret the rules how they want to.”
The report suggests that enforcement of the rules will be upped even more, with on the spot fines, potentially being upped from £200 to £500.
Can’t wait for something similar to happen here. You know our new overlords just would love to make some money and keep the peasants in their place.
Things are really starting to go crazy these days. It hardly seems possible to stay ahead of it. By the time this comes up on Friday (preloading posts is tight!) this may be outdated.
We will try our best.
Thought for the day.

The government strongly recommends people stay home and only communicate via comments at IMAO.
Already doing that.
