    No need to speculate that the UK government "might" one day become the bad guys: they already arrest over 30 people a day for speech that offends the prevailing political orthodoxy.

        So this is normal in your eyes?

          reading fox news to understand the uk is not normal at all. You should seek help or better sources than &quot;entertainment news&quot;.

              Sorry, but if the information exists elsewhere, why not find a better news source? Fox News, and any company derived from Newscorp&#x2F;News Limited are bad enough that I would say more than half of their articles are entirely false.

              Find the same article on AP news, or Reuters or something.
