For hundreds of years, political and economic immigrants took refuge in the UK, where later democracy and voting rights came into effect, long before people on the continent could enjoy even the most basic civil rights. Much good came from across the North Sea.
But in these days, the once great country seems intent to mimic the surveillance terror we had to suffer behind the iron curtain for decades. CCTV cameras everywhere, pseudo-anti-terrorist laws, a spying organisation on par with the NSA - and no meaningful protest in sight. What's going on? Do Britons really not care anymore? Is it all just about increasing house-prices, better home decoration and affordable holidays in France and Spain?
This is saddening.
