      England is one of the world’s more repressive regimes. The rights of citizens are mostly norms rather than enforcable laws, it has some of the most pervasive and invasive surveillance in the world, and the cops have a wide variety of “because I said so” laws that can be used to crush speech, dissent, and to imprison or control people without what you’d think of as “due process” in civilized nations.
