What would Boris the Libertarian have thought of this Prime MInister ruling by diktat?

Coronavirus, England, Europe, Northern Ireland, Opinion, Scotland, UK, Wales

That champion of freedom now leads a government which can remove liberties at the stroke of a pen, dismiss dissent and scorn scrutiny.  While being grilled by MP’s about the government’s coronavirus response, Boris Johnson proclaimed that the UK was a “freedom-loving country”. That patriotic, idealistic view of Britain and Britons is typical of Boris the liberal.  The Telegraph:

And now:

Boris: Twice weekly tests for ALL

Boris: Compulsory vaccinations

Boris: Vaccine passports

Boris: Demonstrations curtailed

Is this really what the UK has spent the last year fighting for?

Your job, Boris, was to CLOSE THE UK’s BORDERS LAST MARCH. You still haven’t done it.
