Never go full Alf


Even more worrying, is that these UK bills aren't anything to do with covid, they're just doing them because they have the majority to ram them through. Ask pretty much anyone in the UK prior to the Ukraine invasion, and they would have all said Putin was a dictator ruling by fear etc, but exactly the same types of policies are being introduced here under cheers and flag waving. Europe is in for another dark couple of decades.
