From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

    Labour is centrist and they desperately want to exert more control. English are sheep, so no one will protest daddy government.

      Supposedly centrist. They’re curious whether being populist right wing on some issues will win over Reform UK voters. It’s just that they’re so curious and are doing this so often that they’re well on their way into morphing into a right wing party.

      so no one will protest daddy government.

      Yea this is a problem…
