    Telling you who you can see, when you can work, where you can work, where you can walk, run, cycle, travel, holiday...
    Snitches grassing you up to the party if someone visits your house, or you go within 2 metres of someone they think you shouldn't have.
    We already had a degree of it anyway. The state has already sequestrated you. They own you, your money, your labour, your assets. They allow you to keep what they feel you need, but don't be under the illusion that you own any of it. They can take 10% more of your income in tax tomorrow. They tell you when you can be treated for an ailment, where you can be treated, which school your kids go to, when they go, what they are taught....

    Freedom. About the only real freedom we have is going out for a run. As long as they allow us.

    I can remember a clever bloke telling me several decades ago when I was just a spotty youth that we live in a country where the powers that be tell us (Dictate) that we live in a FREE COUNTRY and he went on to tell me that we will spend the rest of our lives being told (Dictated to) what we can and can`t do and TBH nothing has changed over the decades and that fella also pointed out that the joke is on us the ordinary citizen, how very true those words of wisdom have proved to be over the years.
