there's no need for conspiracy theory "spin", we have been flat out lied to about this stuff. my fellow brits will probably remember us being cheerfully told that the new anti-terror laws were necessary and they'd only be used for combating terrorism, don't worry.

what a steaming pile of horseshit THAT turned out to be.

y'know how worked up americans got over wiretapping? well, america has been tapping OUR phones for decades (look up Menwith Hill)

it might be possible to stomach if the government actually gave a shit about real crimes, but even with the most invasive society this side of north korea and more police than we've ever had in our history, they can't seem to prevent violent crime, burglary etc.

as for george zimmer's it-must-have-been-the-right-wing-who-caused-all-this... well, depends whether you still think new labour are left wing.

i suspect that the native britishs on the forum can dig up a lot more.


Call me jaded, but this is all stuff I'd come to expect and consider normal from the United States, self-proclaimed FREEST COUNTRY EVER!!1! I'd attribute this more to the changing world we live in, rather than some kind of conspiracy to turn the UK into Airstrip 3.
