The UK is arresting people for social media posts at a staggering rate, and has long given up on free speech as policy. Additionally, the UK Labour party sent staffers to the US to campaign for the US Democrats, a blatantly illegal interference in US politics.

The UK is no longer a functioning democracy but more like a failed state clinging to mass censorship while trying to prevent complete collapse.

For these reasons there should be a political change.

Would it help if the UK left the European Union?


Brits voted to leave the EU to course correct on immigration. Following the vote, immigration skyrocketed.


You are joking, correct? BREXIT?


I guess our version of ‘mass censorship’ is to allow 150,000 people to protest in our capital city while calling for the violent overthrow of the present government.


there was a political change in the UK - much needed one - at recent election :)
