Every day we get closer to an Orwellian society. The United Kingdom may already be one.

I am not aware of any western country that isn't a police state.

The reason the police state gets worse and worse is simply that our glouriouss western countries shift closer and closer to fascism every day.

Unfortunately that doesn't only impact privacy but also stuff like state repression or presence of state thugs.

To quote very smart people:

OOONEEE SOLLUTION
REEEVOLUTION

I hope for a revolution, but as for my country (Italy), too many people have been brainwashed by mainstream media's pro-European and Atlanticist propaganda. We call them "euroinomani" ("euro "drug" addicts")
