That’s true of the political class and the bleeding hearts here in the U.K. It’s the same people who ban kids from running in play grounds, ban teachers from putting a plaster on a child in case of an allergic reaction and ban BB guns because some one used one in a mugging………………….
BUT, don’t think the average English guy in the street thinks this way. The vast majority of people here roll their eyes when they hear this shit. We seem to have this international reputation for being sheeple who look forward to the next draconian law. Nothing could be further from the truth. The majority of the country is sick to the back teeth with the idiots in charge.
I'll drink to that partner! I feel for you folks over the pond, give my respect, and know someday things will balance out one way or another. Yeah, the US has sheeple, but contrary to popular belief (media) they are in the minority. I suspect that is the same way wherever you go in the free world. Same old faces pushing same old agendas. The world has changed so much the last 50 years, and draconian law is such an ancient ruling party strategy, it doesn't fit the modern times and will eventually fade into history. You'll see it in your lifetime in your country no doubt.
Here in the US, I suspect we may fall deeper into it for a short time, then it will be freight-trained and tossed out by the majority because of the evolving global communication freedoms. If people know what they are missing, then they tend to push for it. Knowledge brings change thru voting, then boycotting, then social revolutions, then violent revolutions. Gvts can't imprison or kill everyone who opposes them. All gvts exist only because of popularity, whether voluntarily or by intimidation. And those who exist by voluntary popularity tend to last more than a couple decades.
So hang in there and keep pressing for freedoms you deserve. We will do the same over here!
