Considering Britain is banning journalists like Lauren Southern and convicting people for making jokes on youtube ( count dankula ), I most certainly believe it.

Not only that, Britain is the most surveilled society on earth.

That's from 2006. Britain has at least a decade head start. But china is working very hard to catch up on their surveillance.

But I guess it's evil when they do it, but it's "civilized" when britain does it?
