> A nation of cowards, really. A nation of sheep perhaps but not a nation of cowards.

  Until the people of the UK stand up and do something about the criminal factions that have usurped their government, I remain of the view that it is really a very cowardly society. There is simply no other excuse for the inaction and disregard for these heinous crimes. Not to mention a significant portion of the society appears to be perfectly aligned with the need for a total surveillance state, due to an endemic national fear that, perhaps, the imperial acts committed in their name will come home to roost..

    > due to an endemic national fear that, perhaps, the imperial acts committed in their name will come home to roost.. Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion, most people I know don't know much about what we did during the age of empire and the rest broadly think Empire was a good thing for the countries we conquered.

      I'm not talking about some foregone era of the foggy, distant past. I'm talking about here and now. But you're right, nobody knows about that, either.
