We once had a great deal of respect for good'ol Britain, home of Parliament, 'a model of democracy' if only at home.

They are more than slipping, they recently introduced a law on strikes so egregious the UN and the US had to issue statements decrying it, they recently introduced protest demonstrations that send people to jail for "showing up" and to jail, for years, not to lockup for a night.

Here is the new Britain, thought and mind control.

@kevinrns The Conservatives know they are in electoral trouble, and as David Frum said "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy." This is what is also happening in the US with the Republicans and Australia with the misnamed Liberal Party.
