As long as they take place, although the electoral system in the UK is not exactly a democratic one...
Agreed, but that's not going to change anytime soon.
And Local/Mayoral/PCC elections are likely to be 'postponed' again this year, and who knows what will happen with the next GE...
As for mayoral elections, that's not a bad decision in the current circumstances. I don't supose anyone will complain much.
As for local/ General elections, that's a claim too far.
The Emergency legislation allows for 'flexibility'...
That's the idea.
As for 'peaceful protest' then that is effectively banned, and has never really succeeded. It's only when the establishment is truly threatened do they act!
Social distancing, mask-wearing, peaceful protest is allowed.
Granted, in general the government of the day tend to put the issue back on the backburner.
Hopefully some support of MP has been achieved.
Sadly a lot of what is in that video has come to pass...
Can't comment, haven't watched it all, don't intend to, and it's no longer available.
But, as a general comment. it's not what has been predicted and what has occurred, but the interpretation that you place on those occurrences.
Take for example the use of surveillance techniques 'in the name of the virus'...
Well go on then......
Prediction has become reality in some countries and is spreading...
See comment above on predictions and occurrences.
"Civil servants also discussed Poland's 'enhanced isolation' system, in which people are contacted daily and told to send a picture of themselves where they are isolating.
The pictures are cross-referenced using GPS data and facial-recognition software and are visited by police within 20 minutes if they fail to comply.
Officials discussed the ideas at a meeting on Thursday
They can discuss any ideas that they think is potentially useful.
and it is understood the technology would be confined to new arrivals, not anyone ordered to self-isolate in the UK. "
Is that accurate reporting? Your use of "would be" suggests that is just ideas floated.
But what happens when the technology becomes 'useful' in other ways?
That can be applied to all sorts of 'technology'. Some of the other applications are extremely useful. That's the idea of 'application development'.
