“The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. It may be frail – its roof may shake – the wind may blow through it – the storm

“The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. It may be frail – its roof may shake – the wind may blow through it – the storm may enter – the rain may enter – but the King of England cannot enter.”
Except in a "State of emergency" in Victoria, Australia, in this present day.
- gruez 6y ago...or "security forces", if they have a warrant.
- pjmlp 6y agoNot necessarily, depending on the country a warrant is not something that security forces care much about.
- RileyJames 6y agoIsn’t the state of emergency about powers to require someone to stay in their house / ‘castle’? What rules has the state declared over what one can do in their castle? The rules appear to be specifically about when, why and what you can do when “leaving” your castle. Which has always been the case.
