The UK may have some similarities with the US, but fortunately it is not on the verge of failing as a democracy.
How and ever, new rules limiting what teachers can teach do seem a bit odd:

The guardian focuses on organisations critical of capitalism (which, given we live on a finite planet and capitalism requires infinite growth... Yeah, I'll let you do the math). But the new rules goes further, limiting discussions of 'victim narratives that are harmful to British society', and 'illegal activities done in the name of their cause'
In that context, the prosecution of British service men for crime committed against citizens in NI (now nearly 50 years ago, because the state has been protecting them until now) seem rather pertinent.

Never mind the illegality of certain laws the govt is planning to bring in for internal markets...

I wonder how the 'opposition to freedom of speech' will mesh with the 'cancel culture' narrative being peddled by some.
