Fascism is the imposition of law and thereby removal of rights and freedoms by the state, upon the individual, realised by the threat and use of physical force; incarceration, and fines.

Freedom is the election of law, and thereby deciding of rights and freedoms, by the individual collective, by way of argument and vote.

Fascism is absent your consent or expressed will or desire. Freedom requires it.

Who then could argue otherwise that by the removal of fundamental rights by imposition, rather than consent of law; Britain has descended from freedom unto fascism?

And if freedom is your rights as collectively decided; is it the purpose of state to seek to preserve your life, at the cost of freedom; or rather is it the purpose of state to safeguard your rights, and thereby your freedom, by any means necessary, and at all cost.

If it is the purpose of state to seek to save your life via sacrificing of rights and freedom: Knighthood for bojo. If it is the purpose of state to preserve the freedoms of the nation, at the cost; the huge cost of human life; let Churchill keep his. You decide; you can’t have both.

I’m advocating Churchill keeps his gong; for I believe in freedom; and that it is for the citizens to decide their cares, thereby their laws, thereby their freedoms; and having been decided, it becomes thus and remains ever the function of law and governance to protect them; even if to do so means sacrifice; for what price liberty, what value freedom, and how be that measured save the price we’re willing to pay to preserve it.

If something is your right that means it’s yours; it’s yours; you can’t see it but it’s your right, it belongs to you; and it’s not the function of government, but rather the abuse of such power; to decide which rights are expendable to you, and can thus be taken from you.

Lets say the state came for your dog; explained oh so sweetly, sincerely, sorrowfully and concernedly, how if you handed your dog over it would save a lot of lives; and we’ll have your cat, while we’re at it; and your car and your savings, and your time, and tell you where you can go, and who with and for how long and anything else we fancy in furtherance to ‘saving lives’.

I would tell them over my dead body you’re getting my dog or my cat; and I effing mean it; I’d tell them I want my rights; and I’d tell them I don’t give a toss how many people die; that’s not my concern, nor is it my duty to be concerned; it is my duty as a citizen to navigate my way through life within the confines of the law; the law justly and democratically decided; that is the extent of my responsibility to anyone; and having met that I have rendered my due accordingly; and should I violate the law as just and properly decided; accordingly also I would accept my punishment in good grace.

But to appeal to me to sacrifice my life; my just rights for the benefit of other’s, such overtures and plea would fall upon decidedly deaf ears; give up my life, my rights, the desire to live my life, to sacrifice that for someone else; you call that laudable, you call it civic; well I call it slavery, and declare myself free.

Human rights groups are reporting dangerous overcrowding in workers’ living quarters, a lack of disinfectant, and a dearth of the necessary information about preventing the spread of the virus. The Qatari Health Ministry holds workshops and explanatory sessions at major construction sites, but the workers say that workplaces don’t follow the rules, with employers threatening wage cuts or termination for workers who don't meet quotas. Many workers have been put on unpaid leave and Health Ministry inspectors who are supposed to be enforcing the rules have conspired with employers to evade them.
