we’re not all ‘good little socialists’, believe me. The problem we have in the UK is that from birth, people are conditioned by the BBC to believe that their rights are whatever the government of the day says their rights are, and that messy subjects like free speech shouldn’t concern them. We have a docile, disarmed, ignorant population. Almost brainwashed. Orwell didn’t set 1984 in Britain by accident, nor was it a coincidence that his office at the BBC was Room 101.
There are some here who are still fighting the creeping socialist menace, but it gets harder every year. All three established parties are now clones in the ‘social democrat’ mold; education is geared towards a strictly PC view of the world, arrests for posting ‘offensive’ messages on Twitter or Facebook are a daily occurrence.
You keep your guns fellers. You keep your eyes open. The slow and steady slide, the gentle enslavement of a once-free people, is a very real and physical thing.
i understand not ALL are, it’s a generalization as it’s the conditioning that’s responsible, but it’s never effective on every single person, or to the same degree. we’ve got it here too and we do what we can to counter it.
