David Stephenson (Letters, January 14) compared today’s Pandemic Britain to East Germany in the 1950s and 60s. We have police asking us to obey the virus-fighting rules or face fines, and police breaking up parties, that’s true. We also have people reporting others for breaking rules designed to keep us safe during a frightening pandemic. But one of the most obvious points Mr Stephenson is apparently overlooking is this. If he lived in a real communist state, he wouldn’t be writing his thoughts down and having them printed for all to see; he’d be rightly scared about being locked up and interrogated for putting pen to paper.
