Mass surveillance and living in a police state is an ingrained part of British culture.

It is no wonder to me that police procedurals are the most popular genre of TV shows in UK by quite a margin. They really are high-quality, but it does really feel like thinly-veiled propaganda (often commissioned by the BBC) portraying the State and police as the good guys in their endless quest against the baddies. Thank god there are CCTVs at every corner keeping the peace!

not gonna happen, the issue is very deeply rooted already, you can't change that without force

It’s illegal to protest in a way that has any real effect now

When they don't like it. You disagree with the regime, but the vast majority of UKranians do not.

Honestly both Labour and Conservatives are bound to take a beating next elections. I have no idea how will Greens and/or Reform government look like, we shall see.
