LONDON, England (PNN) - April 9, 2021 - According to a report in the London Telegraph, anyone wishing to drink in a pub garden in Britain from Monday (only the outside areas will open) will be forced to hand over their phone to venue staff who must check if the individual is registered on the government’s tracking app.

Venues will face fines of £1000 if they are found to be admitting people who have not registered on the NHS Test and Trace app with all their personal details and then scanned a QR code on entry to the outdoor portion of the venue.

The official fascist government guidance notes, “should someone choose to check in with the official NHS QR code poster, a venue should check their phone screen to ensure they have successfully checked in”.

The word “choose” is odd because the guidance makes clear that it is mandatory for everyone to individually register on the app, or fill in a paper form.

There is no choice in the matter.

Pubs have also been told to refuse entry to anyone they believe has given false details.

The much maligned test and trace app is completely voluntary and authorities have no grounds to enforce its adoption legally. This is yet another example of how bureaucratic control freaks are simply inventing laws and justifying intimidation by means of coronavirus hysteria.

Fascist Prime Minister Boris Johnson “rewarded” Brits recently by announcing that coming vaccine passports would not be required to enter pubs, however, this policy directly undermines that and is essentially a small step away from being the exact same thing.

The vaccine passports are set to be integrated with the test and trace app via a QR code system. That has been the plan all along. Further dystopian systems, including biometric face scanning, are also being touted.

Responding to the latest developments, Madeleine Stone of privacy advocacy group Big Brother Watch said, “Requiring every single person who enters a cafe or pub to show (his or her) phone screen and hand over personal details poses a serious risk to privacy and data rights and is based on exclusion, criminal sanctions and (terrorist pig thug cop) enforcement.”

“Businesses won’t be able to comply with this draconian new diktat as well as data protection law, which is why we’ve sent legal letters to the Department of Health and Information Commissioner’s Office as to whether these intrusive requirements are safe and lawful,” Stone added.
