From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

    i feel like that’s a story much much older than the queen.

    England used to be the first “liberal” place in the world, and it invented capitalism. Both spread to the US after 1800, and then UK had fulfilled its role in world history and became irrelevant. US is literally UK offspring.
