The UK system is deeply unsettling to me. The culture of compliance is eerie.I can see your point, but the idea of the fucking cops being able to just demand you turn up for "an appointment" or they turn up at your door and drag you off, when you have done nothing wrong other than speak your mind and refuse to kowtow to troons and lick the stinkditch is fucking horrifying.
It's pure ideological intimidation, a fucking gross abuse of power trying to scare someone into keeping their mouth shut.
Any country where that shit happens and is considered the norm is a fucking authoritarian shithole, no better than fucking Venezuela.
I visit the UK regularly (personal life reasons) and I'm always very cognizant that I'm leaving freedom behind.
Sorry that's a little dramatic but it sums up my feelings.
I run a private VPN at my home in the US so I can still pretend like I'm at work and access US only stuff.
I worry about what's on my laptop or my phone.
There's tshirts that I don't bring to the UK because they're too spicy.
I don't mean to mischaracterize the UK, I'm sure brits are way less uptight than I am but I just don't feel free there. I'd feel freer in Canada or Mexico.
Anyway to bring this all around to the topic at hand: I distinguish people bucking the British boot for personal advancement reasons and those bucking for liberty reasons. The boot is wrong in all cases but some people are genuine victims while others are opportunists. Count Dankula was absolutely a victim of the boot.
