I donno man.
I guess since the UK stopped being a world superpower and we got rid of our colony we just been becoming more and more....."european."
We joined the EU and had to follow all their rules, we made guns illegal, we got no constitution so we really have no legal rights as people to refuse to consent searches etc, its illegal to use "excessive force" against people who break into your home, and Blair showed the world we are the USA's pussy when he followed the USA into an illegal war in Iraq.
