Don't worry such sensationalist reports are to prepare everyone for a police state. But it will be ok, you will all be safe from perceived threats.

To be frank a police state has a very great deal going for it right now.

A police state that smashed down on the anarchists and assorted dross hiding behind the BLM rubbish and eliminated the mohammadan colonies that are presently being protected by legislation that was introduced to protect minorities than our present libertarian state.

That's okay Todger, until they pass a law that affects us that we don't like. You can't switch on and off a police state like turning on a light...Once they are here we will all lose our freedoms and it will become the norm.....
North Korea and Hong Kong spring to mind....

When you stop and think about it what real freedoms did we have even pre covid? Not that many.

Much of what I wanted to do, and for that matter still does require taking "extra-ordinary measures".

In any case, NK is far from being a police state, nor is HK.

The only people who seem to be concerned about it are us, the majority of the general population.

I read this morning that an illegal immigrant had been attacked by a member of the public in Kent.
If the authorities fail to protect us, it sounds like we might end up protecting ourselves!
