-------------------------------------------- Freedoms 2018.03.30 22:54:32 CEST -------------------------------------------- I have the habit of letting YouTube autoplay while I work. Normall I'm not paying any attention to the sound or video (which is in a hidden window) and this usually takes me into fun adventures into the bizarre underworld of YouTube. This week, for some unknown reason, the video suggestion AI (which decides what plays next) decided I should watch a bunch of BBC and British documentaries and TV shows. From comedy shows to documentaries about the national benefit system, bailiffs and parking fines, I've been through it. This time I learned a lot and I'm amazed how restricted freedoms a in the UK. From standing your own ground rights, to the power give to law enforcement officers, the system seems incredibly oppressiv I lived in London for ~1 year, but I was unaware of so many things about the local culture and worse, the local legal system and laws For example, I just learned the knife I had in my backpack is bann in the UK. I could have been arrested if an officer decided to inspect my bag. A simple utility knife. |
