The British, Australian and New Zealand governments have repeatedly mentioned that they will “make it an offence” for their citizens to perform well-intentioned activities as part of everyday life. They stated that they will “make it an offence” for anyone to smoke indoors, or that as of a certain date of a similar monkey-law called the smoking ban passing that “it will be an offence” to do so, or that “we will make it an offence” to sell cigarettes to anyone born on or after 2009.
As a matter of fact those actions as regular everyday life activities are not offences by anybody else who would have claimed so. They are not real or actual offences. They are not organic offences. As a matter of another fact, if those well-intentioned activities get to be punished by the authorities by manipulating the content of the law on behalf of the politicians who have control over it, that is a real offence and not an imaginary or hypothetical one, because its performance is directed against those who are not at fault. And so because it diverts the attention of the authorities and directs it against well-intentioned everyday life activities that have no consequences to be performed by citizens exchanging with each other. The result is not an application of logic but enactment of aggression by the authorities by using the law and manipulating its socially approved content as a means to do so. It is as much as it sounds irresponsible to handle the punishment of the law by making selective arbitrary choices that belong to one person. It is possible that one person is the victim of someone else’s actions, but on this instance the person in question is writing what he or she chooses onto the law itself.
A government that invents “offences” and indeed of its own kind to serve the citizen which should have been its cause, is more than that showing them the door to the punishment of the law more than conferring justice to the citizen which is not something that it could do to any one of them. Assaulting or proposing to assault citizens with the authorities by the government making use of the parliament to distort the content and subject of the law for exercising their rights is absolutely unacceptable and happens where there are other regimes, if there is to be an antismoking regime situated in London or Canberra. What is therefore an offence is to punish innocent people for their innocent actions either through incarceration or financially by means of a fine resulting in their loss of their personal wealth.
In response to the government claiming an “offence” in regular everyday life activities of its citizens, it is an offence for those in power with control over the content of the law to do so. What they claim that they will “make an offence” is not a real offence but an imaginary one. In other words, also a hypothetical one, and the hypothesis is being put down in writing when this is written onto the law, an institution belonging to society which defines its spirit, content and confrontation. And it is not an offence to do what will be made an offence by the government, mainly because it has no victim. It is not wrong or aggressive or against anyone else or the rest to do the things that the government is devoting time, effort and energy and wasting money and time to make an offence without it being one.
What is an offence is to punish innocent people for their innocent actions as this is what is turned against them in an act of aggression performed by the authorities and happens to their expense by cultivating fear and oppression throughout the rest of society. Society has its own rules comprising of all social rules and none of those counter-smoking laws or legislated COVID restrictions or pan-european currency unit arrangements are approved social rules to become the law by the state on its own without the consent of society and its members.
