It's England's fault for not bothering to write down their constitution and codify it. The US is the only Anglo country to take the time, and that was because we had to fight a years long war on the subject with the King. The rest of the commonwealth have half assed it, and Canadians discovered just this year their constitution is not the Supreme Law like in America, since Justin Trudeau quite happily suspended their bullshit charter in order to Crack down on uppity peasants who did not know their place.What happened? It’s so far off how I used to see Australia. Is this the Chinese buying everything up and exerting influence or is there something in the culture ?
I’m starting to get that reaction every time I read the word ‘harm’ used online. It’s like a red flag for the thought police. Such a broad definition of harm - it can be anything they want. Like here in the uk, the hate crime laws plus the malicious comms acts ensure that any offence can be prosecuted. It’s terrifying. Why aren’t people more pissed off about all this?
So while America was born with a healthy distrust of the State, the rest of the British Enpire assumed they could carry on as usual. The UK. Canada, Australia and New Zealand did not learn the lesson of the American War.
Never trust the Government to be benevolent or well intentioned.
