Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice Sovereign Man reports.
It’s officially now an offence to LEAVE England
After four hours of debate yesterday in the House of Commons, the United Kingdom has approved an emergency measure that will, among other restrictions, fine Brits who LEAVE the country without a qualifying reason.
The British who as of today, 29th of March 2021, leave the country without a reason and approval from the authorities will be committing a criminal offence! The rigorous measures provide for the possibility with submitting a bunch of documents “to be approved” a visit to a sick parent abroad, but only if you convince the authorities that he/she is really about to die, but if you are fortunate enough and your parents recover, then you will pay a 7,000 USD fine for lying to the Big Brother since they didn’t die as you promised.
Ironically, the British government insists they can legally impose these new rules because of authority that was granted to them under a law called the Public Health Act… which just happened to be passed in… 1984.
Starting on Monday, anyone who leaves England must submit papers making a certified declaration of their reason for leaving. The authorities will then retain the discretion to fine travelers £5,000— nearly $7,000, if the reason isn’t valid.
The government has provided a list of 14 valid excuses, such as a professional football team traveling for a match. This is totally fine.
But someone who wants to attend a religious pilgrimage is forbidden to travel. So is someone who wants to visit an elderly parent they haven’t seen since 2019, unless it is a parent whom the traveler “reasonably believes is dying.”
How magnanimous.
By the way, these new rules come despite Members of Parliament acknowledging in debate yesterday that 95% of Brits over the age of 60 have been vaccinated.
Should this mean that the most vulnerable population has been administered a vaccine that they insist is safe and effective?
So… why the harsh lockdown rules?
