The UK had free speech once, my parents told me about it. Now we can't protest without a licence, they even arrest groups discussing protests before they go out and do it. The press is fleeced at the airport and hard drives of journalists destroyed for telling us about illegal actions by our government against the populace. This problem is small biscuit compared to the overriding rights violations occurring in this once democratic country.
Less than 50% of people even vote now, we all mostly know its a scam (elections, voting, protesting, talking to our representatives) but some still hold out a dream the UK might one day again in the future become a democracy. Alas this might be my last message, they do after all monitor all communication and I might just be detained and tortured under terrorist laws. Frankly child porn and internet filtering aren't high on my list of atrocities a police state is enacting!
