There's a pretty alarming trend of mass surveillance and censorship in the UK.
- pjc50 8y agoNot so much a trend as something that has always been there, for those of us old enough to remember when an MP was legally barred from having his voice heard on television. The security state has a heavy hand, and was only really restrained by ECHR in the late 90s.
- arethuza 8y agoThe strongly authoritarian streak has always been there in UK culture - at least we've stopped the mass arrests, imprisonment without trial and torture of UK citizens that we had in the 1970s.
