This is, if not wrong, at least a slippery slope.

But this is dogmatic. At that time there appeared to be the choice of many thousands dying or having people take extreme care not to spread the infection. People being people, the only way to achieve that would be by mandatory lockdown, so it was excusable as being for the benefit of, well, everyone. The problems we had with it were basically that it didn't happen when it should, so it was less effective and lasted longer than it should. In principle, though, it wasn't some elite treading on the plebs thing that it's being made out to be now, and a genuine attempt to mitigate a very serious situation.

I guess except for the elites that were able to travel around, wine dine and party to their hearts content whilst not having their income negatively affected.  :-//

PlainName:
Elites are always like that, regardless of what's going on. It is stupid to say, "Well I'm not going to look after myself and my neighbours because so-and-so has too much money and gets away with shit." That's cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Can't be quite 100% sure, but it gotta be one of the net beneficiaries - explains the fanatic enthusiasm and the desire to get UK back >:D

Voters are cheap to buy and it's 100% legal as long as they vote to be bought.

That doesn't sound right.
They probably want to harmonise the documentation format so it's more easily interchangeable. Do you have any idea of how much time is wasted converting one document from one format to another?
no, i'm not talking about converting .doc to .odt or something trivial, i'm talking about the document format: which information are written where, how they are grouped, dimensions, etc so that each office's software can interpret it correctly.

And that is GOOD.

For the same reason the so called "green pass", the EU covid vaccination certificate was a GOOD thing. I live on the border of three ASLs (sanitary districts) and before the GP they would emit three different documents, written in a different way, with different data on it. On paper only, of course. If an officer or a doctor asked you to show your certificate he would have had to translate between the three, then write up a bunch of paperwork to fill up the data in their own format, minutes wasted every time. That is 100% bureocratic madness. The GP put an end to that for good.

Leave aside the lockdown measures, which were decided and enforced by the states, not the EU.
