Are you ready for this week\u2019s absurdity? Here\u2019s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity\u2026 and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s officially now an offence to LEAVE England<\/strong><\/p>\n After four hours of debate yesterday in the House of Commons, the United Kingdom has approved an emergency measure that will, among other restrictions, fine Brits who LEAVE the country without a qualifying reason.<\/p>\n Ironically, the British government insists they can legally impose these new rules because of authority that was granted to them under a law called the Public Health Act\u2026 which just happened to be passed in\u2026 1984.<\/p>\n Starting on Monday, anyone who leaves England must submit papers making a certified declaration of their reason for leaving. The authorities will then retain the discretion to fine travelers \u00a35,000\u2014 nearly $7,000, if the reason isn\u2019t valid.<\/p>\n The government has provided a list of 14 valid excuses, such as a professional football team traveling for a match. This is totally fine.<\/p>\n But someone who wants to attend a religious pilgrimage is forbidden to travel. So is someone who wants to visit an elderly parent they haven\u2019t seen since 2019, unless it is a parent whom the traveler \u201creasonably believes is dying.\u201d<\/p>\n How magnanimous.<\/p>\n By the way, these new rules come despite Members of Parliament acknowledging in debate yesterday that 95% of Brits over the age of <\/strong>60 <\/strong>have been vaccinated. <\/strong><\/p>\n This means that the most vulnerable population has been administered a vaccine that they insist is safe and effective.<\/p>\n So\u2026 why the harsh lockdown rules?<\/p>\n Click here to read the new rules.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n NY crowd cheers blind obedience to public health officials<\/strong><\/p>\n Tracey Edwards, a New York Public Service Commission appointee, appeared with New York Governor Cuomo last week to encourage total ignorance and unquestioning loyalty to the public health officials.<\/p>\n While encouraging people to take the vaccine, Edwards said:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not asking what\u2019s in the infusion, I\u2019m not looking up all of the ingredients in the infusion, I am sticking out my arm and I am taking the infusion \u2014 and that\u2019s what we have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n The crowd cheered in approval.<\/p>\n This is what the public is being sold: DON\u2019T read any of the research and make up your own mind. DON\u2019T have a conversation with your doctor to make an informed, medical decision. DON\u2019T take even a moment to weigh potential costs and benefits.<\/p>\n Instead, you should be deliberately ignorant and happily do exactly what the public health overlords tell you, without question.<\/p>\n (These are the same New York public health officials who, by the way, sent sick patients into nursing homes, killed countless people, and then covered it up.)<\/p>\n Obey.<\/p>\n Click here to watch the clip.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n California couple can\u2019t move in to their home because of eviction moratorium<\/strong><\/p>\n A couple paid the owner of a home in California $560,000 in cash in January 2020.<\/p>\n But that owner is still living inside the home today.<\/p>\n He has been able to take advantage of California\u2019s Covid eviction moratorium to pocket the cash and continue living in the home rent free.<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to understand how the law could possibly apply to this situation, but the couple\u2019s legal proceedings to take possession of their home have been stalled due to the ban on evicting tenants.<\/p>\n Just to be clear: this isn\u2019t the tenant of the former owner. It is the former owner himself who refuses to leave.<\/p>\n Who would have thought that anyone would take advantage of California\u2019s ridiculous laws?<\/p>\n Click here to read the full story.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n You can now receive a <\/strong>Bachelor of Tolerance and Coexistence degree<\/strong><\/p>\n A university in the United Arab Emirates has introduced a Bachelor of Tolerance and Coexistence degree.<\/p>\n The three year program offered by Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities is the first of its kind in the world.<\/p>\n The university chancellor says the degree \u201cdevelops students\u2019 understanding and respect for different cultures, civilisations and religions, so they can act as ambassadors and build bridges of communication between cultures and civilizations.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, graduates should probably start the work in the UAE\u2014 a country where homosexuality, or any perceived blasphemy against Islam, can be punishable by imprisonment, or even death.<\/p>\n
