“They let their government take away their right to self-defense, they let their government take away their right to free speech, and now they are letting their government turn off their lights.”

Unfortunately they did not “let” this happen, they demanded it! And now they are reaping the bitter fruit of those demands. It’s the small minority of people that haven’t agreed to this that I feel sorry for but what can they do when the rest of their countrymen have gone absolutely insane?

I am fascinated by your comment. Could you expand it. I understood that the lack of a written constitution and ‘progressive’ jurisprudence’ stripped Britons of most of their right to self defense (which was never as strong by any means as the common law understanding of self defense in the US}. Further gun ownership was severely impacted by laws the Tory governments in the 20’s enacted after the General Strike because of fears of a workers uprising. The recent confiscation laws only stood on the shoulders of earlier bad laws.

I would really be interested in a longer explanation of your most interesting post.

Immigrate to the US and dedicate their lives to warning against leftist takeovers.
