I wonder how the public in the UK feels about their country quickly devolving into an oversurveilled state.

>>N_Lens+v5
Devolving? Already there. Mostly the public are ok with it because they're ignorant of the facts, believing whatever they read on Facebook, see on GB news[1], etc. and are happy with "if you've done nothing wrong, you've nothing to be afraid of?"[0]

By the time the leopards eat their faces, it's too late.

[0] Much like the people who voted for Trump and are now slated for deportation because 15 years ago they cashed a check that bounced, etc.

[1] Also the BBC has some blame here because if they weren't platforming Farage for years when it was unnecessary, it's conceivable that he wouldn't/couldn't have forced first the Tories and now Labour into their hard-right turns and we'd all be better off.

Farage is one of the few politicians who has opposed these laws. He wants to repeal the Online Safety Act.
