…today’s the day we learn that there will be surveillance cameras not just in our big cities, but literally in every single village. The surveillance state is getting very, very close indeed.
And that, of course, in the same week that we learn the 800-year-right to trial-by-jury is to be abolished in the majority of cases… and of course despite not being in the manifesto, the government want to introduce digital I.D., leaving literally every single one of us in this country open to hackers.
And it is, frankly, a very authoritarian government. It doesn’t really believe in liberty, it doesn’t believe in individual freedom, and we learn it doesn’t really believe in democracy either.
It is horrifying, yet somehow mesmerizing, watching the UK turn into the kind of society that it fought against in WWII. The situation appears increasingly hopeless, but I cannot bring myself to accept that it is inevitable. Time will tell - and soon.
It's freaking crazy how our fine betters around the former free world are doing their best to destroy the system that allows them to live in non $hithole countries.
ReplyDeleteBetter to rule in crapistan than live in America.
The UK once fought off a jackbooted foreign threat, but now apparently can't summon the will to get out from under the woke worms who run the government (and, no doubt, the media and higher education). I am amazed at the sheer perversity of human nature.
DeleteWe can hope the Brits will soon emulate the Irish and start an uprising.
ReplyDeleteSome such thing may, indeed, happen.

ReplyDeleteAre they doing away with politicians and bureaucrats, and just turning things over to the self-appointed PM for Life, and his lackeys?
That'll work!
If there's a camera in every village, there'll likely be a Blade Runner in every village too.
ReplyDeleteBlade Runners in London are still hard at it.
The fire of freedom burns yet!
