Brexit leader Nigel Farage warned that lockdowns in the United Kingdom are pushing the country into a full-on police state, predicting that the battle to regain individual liberty will be a tougher struggle than leaving the European Union.<\/p>\n

Mr Farage said that is unlikely that the British government will relinquish the emergency powers it has accumulated during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the state takes power how on earth do we get those powers back? Do we have enough independently-minded MPs in Westminster to challenge the executive once we\u2019re through this crisis to say those powers need to be returned, those liberties and freedoms need to go back to the people?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m beginning to think that the battle for our individual liberty could be an even bigger battle than the battle to get us out of the European Union,\u201d Farage said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is turning neighbour against neighbour, it is turning people against the police force, and it is not going to stop the spread of this virus,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n

Mr Farage pointed to a \u201cvery disturbing video from Scotland,\u201d in which police burst into a family\u2019s home and threatened them with arrest for allegedly breaching the coronavirus restrictions, when in fact the family\u2019s \u201cguest\u201d was their sick daughter who was recently discharged from hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cBehavior like this does not get citizens on the side supporting the police,\u201d Farage said, adding: \u201cit is going way, way too far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Farage said that in the name of fighting the coronavirus, Britain is sacrificing its liberties and freedoms and that there \u201cis a danger we could become something akin to a police state\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is what your taxes and capitulating to the government get you.<\/p>\n

Scottish police use lockdown powers to storm into a home and violently arrest the family. The children screaming really fucked me up. pic.twitter.com\/J6qfHLHKzv<\/a><\/p>\n
