There might be a lot of similarities in what each country's "State of Emergency" consists of but I can assure you that the same rules would certainly not apply.

That's ignoring the big "if", because we had a lockdown (not a State of Emergency) and the effects of that didn't last very long once restrictions were eased.
So I don't think that - having seen that & the economic damage caused - many places will see actions like that of Spain.

Bluntly, I don't really understand why you posted that; it was pointless.
Hi

I disagree, not pointless at all.

You need to do some research.

You need to dig deep to see what Emergency Powers the Government have.

They are brutal.

But we never had a state of emergency Swimmy. Emergency powers are a different thing altogether.

Hi

Quite correct, never had a State of Emergency.

If we did the Emergency Powers are brutal.

The legislation dates back to the Cold War.

A State of Emergency is very different to Martial Law.

You are quite correct when you state that Emergency Powers are very different to a State of Emergency.

They are not being used and there is no intention to use them at this time.

So yes, completely pointless.
You're just wasting electrons.
