You don't suddenly wake up one day in a police state. The security services in the UK and USA are clearly out of control and at odds with basic democractic principles. These anti-democratic 'forces' always exist, and they empower themselves at the cost of the people shifting power to themselves and the state, and there is always an excuse, a reason. A history and established culture of checks and balances and rule of law is supposed to keep them in check. In this case things are going wrong over an extended period of time accompanied with increasingly hysterical propaganda with no counter forces in play to correct this anomaly. I think the smugness and lack of spine from our generation will cost others heavily and it is gross negligence to continue to pretend this is not happening.
