UK - Police will enter homes and break up Christmas dinners

[Twilight Hue]

Death not a good enough one?

Not to this extreme.

I suppose however, its for the Brits to decide.

 

[ChristineM]

The left would love to do that and they have been trying their hardest to make that a reality.

Only this law was passed by the right

 

[Revoltingest]

But according to the article, it has been made illegal there. But I get that cops can't just enter a home without a warrant. At least not here in the United States.... yet.

Cops here can & do enter without warrants.
It's legal if they have just cause.
Of course, they don't always, with severe
consequences for the occupants at times.

For argument's sake, they sound like they are prepare to clamp down on these disregards of public safety. So far, that hasn't happened here yet, aside from handing out a few fines to these Christian whiners who complain about not being able to go to church together, virus be damned. If people are flagrantly, willfully ignoring safety protocols and putting pubic health at risk, personally, I'd consider that a punishable crime, or at least religiously speaking, certainly it is a sin.

Churches are public, so I'd grant government more
authority regarding Covid related conduct there.

 

[Revoltingest]

Unfortunately, the virus is politically neutral on this issue.

I don't see it as a partisan issue either.
The virus & I agree on that.

 

[Revoltingest]

See my previous post. It is not ok to put peoples lives at risk even in your own home

I agree. But there's the question if the risk posed
is known to be that great for the parties involved.
I'd grant more authority to cops regarding that
in public venues than in private homes.

The virus has no respect for private property

Government has that problem too.

 

[ChristineM]

Government has that problem too.

If illegal activities are happening then i see no problem with that

 

[Secret Chief]

Government has that problem too.

Hardly relevant though. The more the numbers, the greater the likelihood of there being asymptomatic people present and the greater the number of people likely to get infected. So twenty people in a private setting poses a greater danger than 10 people in a public setting.

 

[Revoltingest]

Well, we just might have differences of opinion
about the extent of limits applied to government.

It was relevant to the particular post I responded to though.

It might.
I don't say that you're wrong.
But I advocate less governmental power in a private home.

No such thing as a "private" home

 

[Revoltingest]

I disagree.
Some are, & some aren't.
I've managed both kinds.

Unless you have a non-utilities shack in the middle of Yukon territory, your property is owned by the government, through taxes and what else have you. Private ownership is a myth. It's only private if you own all aspects of it,including energy production. Otherwise you are dependent on societies services, which falls under governmental jurisdiction.

It doesn't happen often, but i think thats an understatement.

Actually, government has only a tax lien against the property.
This is not ownership.
(Never argue real estate with a broker....or former broker.)

I'm in a diplomatic mood.
(Enjoy it while it lasts.)

I appreciate that diplomacy must turn a blind eye to illegal activities including possible murder sometimes?

I suspect that we also disagree about the extent of the risk posed.

Which supports my view that the modern-day left and right wing are mirror images of each other.
