This is one reason why I oppose multiculturalism.
Incompatible cultures in close proximity inevitably create civil conflict (e.g. terrorism, etc). This gives authorities an excuse to take more and more control over individuals' interactions with the excuse of trying to prevent that conflict.
In a culturally-unified Britain, May would have no excuse at all to try this Orwellian crap. See also: Patriot Act.

I agree! It should be regulated the same way. Since the online world is pure speech, it should barely be regulated at all aside from direct threats and incitement to violence.
- ygaf 9y agoThat is a profound point although you're only going to get downvoted for the first point. My analogy of the web is that internet websites are street establishments, and at least two parties (ISP / the website owners) have you on CCTV. The website (and your ISP if they analyse traffic) have internal CCTV of your activity, other parties only have footage that you walked into the establishment and spent X time there. But I'm digressing. I should be free to walk into places.
