    This is a blatant abuse of power, what does this curfew do? Corvid only coming out at night? This is not helping reduce corvid, this just the police lazy and don't want to work night shift.

    The curfew damages trust.

    It is ostensibly for the control and suppression of COVID-19 but clearly this is a pack of lies. If it were needed to prevent COVID-19 then it would apply at times when greater numbers of people mix.

    It is deceitful government to use one thing (COVID) as justification to remove liberty for another purpose.
