Often you'll see the news websites disable stuff they think will be 'controversial' so if they put up an article they know will get an angry response they'll disable the comments page, then we have people actually getting arrested for comments people make on facebook/twitter ( which is why I keep fairly anonymous ) and David Cameron's trying to go and forcefully filter out porn, most likely to appeal to the Christian/lazy parent voting base. At this rate, I'm pretty much ready to leave the country and renounce my citizenship to the UK, the only thing that's stopping me right now is money, they really do keep making it easier to make my decision
.
Most of the normal people in the country are actually not bad at all as long as you avoid the chavs, but the rulers in this country are batshit insane, yes I said rulers, because they're as bad as the Americans are when it comes to fixing elections and making it difficult to vote for minor parties/people. The only good thing I can say about the UK is at least they don't charge a massive amount to declare you're not a citizen anymore! >_<
and yes, I've actually done research into this, apparently it's about $50,000 or so to renounce citizenship in the U.S if I remember correctly and it was something like £128 for the UK.
