It is 23 March 2021 and we are now one full year into the c0vid pandemic restrictions. The coronavirus act is set to be extended until October amid assurances that restrictions will be lifted.
A look at some of today’s news articles around the extension of the coronavirus act and the impact on civil liberties here in the UK and the wider world. Particular focus on the news that £5,000 fines are to be levied on people who attempt to book a holiday or leave the UK for an “unofficial” reason.
