Very worrying the powers that the governments are giving themselves!!
This isn't new though.
Every seafaring nation has used quarantine islands for ships flying the yellow flag for hundreds of years.
Flatholm in the Bristol Channel is just one example.


Sure I've seen something like this before in Germany😳.
That's a bit of a cheap shot.
Alians were rounded up in many countries and the UK was no exception.
We all know the difference was how they were treated afterwards.

With greatest of respect it might not have come over rightly to be fair, we are just voicing concern over various nations current power UK included.

We are all grown men on here and have a laugh at times its well needed in the current climate....

BUT I just want to put it on record I have NEVER minimized the Holocaust and never will, its a dark stain on Humanity that needs remembering and educating to future generations for ever in my opinion whatever your religion or race.

Or the Brits to the Boers,where internment camps started,however to me it's not just the way government's are acting,it's the way people are accepting and actually wanting stiffer action,project fear certainly doing the job,Hitler,Stalin,Mao all started off pretty benign but people allowed them to continue

This...can't get over the mentality...got folk on local groups going on about how busy it is and everyone should be at home? Do they think folk will live on fresh air? Wtf honestly it's bizarre the self righteousness and pomposity of folk, certainly of the chinks wanted to create massive divisions and addle folks brains in the west they've succeeded brilliantly !

All that crap is in the past, nothing for us to apologise for, and none of it was done in my name if it happened before 1961. Look where that's led this last year. However, no harm in remembering and learning from it.

No, your were right. there is the obvious historical comparison to be made. Failing to make the comparison borders on trivialising/ denial.
Anytime people get rounded up and isolated, we should question the morality and make sure it is justified.

That doesn’t help much. The nazis all felt pretty justified in rounding up the Jews. In the fifties we Britsfelt pretty justified in chemically neutering queers.

Don't complain - suggest what's better
Have a read of this and see if it has a familiar ring to it

That is why Western labs are so heavily regulated. Scientists moan about it holding back research, but we still have escapes like the second BSE outbreak near Pirbright (although hopefully we learnt from that not to release contaminated waste down ordinary drains so the rumour goes). Unfortunately there are places that assess the risk differently and are willing for huge sacrifices of/for other people to gain a commercial advantage and show their system to be best.

Going to be interesting to see how the vac programme pans out.
If the government insists to extending the 2nd dose 12 weeks after the first rather the trial approval 2nd dose after 4 weeks we might have just blown a lot of resources on effectively nothing!! Roll up roll up we are making it all up!! Israel reporting one dose not any more effective than placebo.🤔🤔🤔

that's not quote true, I dont believe doc doom will have passed extending the dose if it was pointless.

The data coming out of Israel though is very promising. Cant hurt they have decent weather so can keep windows open etc
