The UK gov believes their people to be so neutered that they will accept this extreme restriction on speech. Maybe they will. For the past twenty years, England has been widely considered a “soft police state”, with total surveillance, no right to privacy among the populace, a vast army of unarmed bobbies who are used to harass and intimidate the law-abiding. The English have sat by and let it all happen, all in the name of “safety”. And now that massive police state apparatus is being used to prevent them from searching for a path to change. Peaceful change has been made impossible in England, as it has in all of Europe.
