The current UK government has arrested over 2000 people for holding signs on charges of terrorism, and is currently in the process of abolishing jury trials. This isn't about history.




The UK is also not a single person, but a collection of millions of individuals and diverse groups with diverse opinions and actions.

This is what they want. Everyone gasping at their actions but uninformed on what to do about it.

My point is that a country may do reprehensible things, but that does not mean that the people in that country approve of those things -- or even that the people in government approve of them. Countries can be complex, with many contradictions, opinions, and opposing forces.
