As far as I can tell the UK is an insane asylum, veering from one woke over-reaction to another, with the net effect of becoming a dystopia in real time right before our eyes. Like Canada.

I've been reading and highly recommend Theodore Dalrymple's essays, some of which are collected in "Our Culture or What's Left of It," for a first-hand commentary on deteriorating conditions in the UK, from adoption of the welfare state to about 2010 or so. He wisely moved to rural France a few years ago.

Once a critical mass of idiotic sheep swallows the lie that words are weapons, it's the end of any degree of so-called "free speech." It's also a slippery slope that will generate an endless series of punishments for a potentially limitless number of thought crimes, given that some pussy who takes offense at an utterance is now considered a victim of so-called "violent speech." (Just using that phrase boggles my wee little mind. Edit: It reminds me of the voice-weapon thing the good guys use in the movie "Dune.")

If the US is the lab where neo-Marxist wokeism was born, the UK is an ongoing project of practical application.

You guys are royally screwed.
