Britain indeed is, as Douglas Murray writes, “sleepwalking into a state of perpetual Covid tyranny.” A slice:

In the pages of this newspaper not so many years ago, Boris Johnson could be found railing against (chỉ trích gay gắt) the idea of ID cards. When Tony Blair’s government looked at introducing such a thing, Johnson and others on the liberal wing of the Conservative party insisted that it was fundamentally un-British to allow a situation in which a state apparatchik could demand to see your papers and make you meekly hand them over.

But what the Government that Johnson heads is now suggesting is far more intrusive (bắt người khác phải chịu đựng mình) than that. The creation of “vaccine certification” means that we now face the prospect of having our papers demanded not just if we dare to think about leaving the country for some reason, but if we just want to go to almost any public gathering (tụ tập nơi công cộng). Only by proving that you have had the vaccine or a recent negative test will you be allowed to take part in activities which we didn’t even question as among our rights before 2020.
