This ban on alcohol on trains in Scotland was brought in "for Covid"

Except now it's "in place for foreseeable future"

Like this particular policy or not, govt overreach in "crisis" or "emergency" is huge danger & needs undoing

@NicolaSturgeon taking liberties, in both senses

"No more lockdowns" says @trussliz

But Johnson said same - before more lockdowns

The data are in:
Lockdowns did almost nothing for Covid
Unimaginable damage to everything else

Talk is cheap

How about next PM makes it impossible *in law* for any repeat?

"I will stand up for free speech" claims @trussliz in marketing email

Has she read Online Safety Bill?

Adds 2 new layers of censorship

1. Big Tech to censor anything 'harmful' (vague enough for you?)

2. @Ofcom monitors w/big fines

Want to stand up for free speech?
Scrap it

Free speech is not a ‘nice to have’

Free & open debate actually protects us all

It’s how society adjusts course & avoids massive errors

Online Safety Bill won’t make us more ‘safe’

It will make us less free, poorer & more prone to error

Scrap it @trussliz @RishiSunak @DCMS

Many have huge concerns about Digital ID

No: it's not the same as photo ID

The extension of Digital IDs & Central Bank Digital Currencies create worrying surveillance possibilities by their very design

We must be vigilant to ensure they are not abused 👇

If Online Safety Bill goes through, WhatsApp & similar will have to snoop on your private messages

Why?

So you don't see anything that could be 'psychologically distressing' of course!

This Bill is vague, ridiculous - & also very dangerous @trussliz & @conservatives

Bin it

It's obscene that in UK in 2022, ordinary people should have to choose "heat or eat"

Total policy failure

Next UK leader must #AxeTheTax:

Fuel duty (52%)
VAT on energy (5%)
VAT on fuel (20%)
'Green' taxes on energy (~15%)
Price cap £1,300 on energy bills

We've seen far too much overreach in name of safety

It's completely wrong if govts cling to so-called "emergency" measures or "bait & switch"

Today we wrote to @ScotRail about continuing their "Covid" alcohol ban indefinitely, as "agreed with @scotgov"👇
