Directionally the UK gov has arrested more people for speech crimes than the Soviets..

Anything they pass or even look excited for is a negative signal. These people seem inept on every front, and I can’t even generously find something clever about them.

Iraq, Brexit, and Speech Laws.

If a Brit told me the sky was blue, I’d double check myself.

And if an American told me it was blue, I'd have no need to check, I could have confidence it is not, and that their evaluation would change to another false answer in five minutes.
