Why is the British government so fucking authoritarian?
It's like they read Nineteen Eighty-Four and used it as a handbook for running the state.

Perhaps Orwell made a very pertinent decision making the British the subject of his book rather than the Germans.
Grayson Martin
it's way worse than that its a combo of Brave New World, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451

Europeans are authoritarian. From the most downtrodden peasant to the richest noble, each and every one of them will try to kill you if you dare rebel against the current authority in any way.
Tyler Rogers
Because the country is run by a soulless robotic PM
Ryder Turner
You can't erase centuries of living under a Royal Family.

Europeans want someone to rule over them and dominate their lives. They are a subservient and submissive people.

This is a very astute observation. Centuries of serfdom has left a lasting impression on the British psyche, with a reflexive willingness to absolve themselves of responsibility and instead defer to the State.
Lucas Diaz
BTW, if this really happened, why does he use the American spelling for "licence"?
I smell bullshit.
Isaiah Myers
Well...

how did this happen? the UK was always the world's bastion of (domestic) liberty until the US (populated mostly by Englishmen and Scots) came onto the stage
when did this change? how? why?
Camden Foster
He gets a half price license for having no head
Christian Roberts
This is bullshit. If you don’t want tv license you can just ring them up and they never bother you again

Did that with a hotel TV remote once to improvise, I was horny and lucky since I didn't get AIDS from it

Are you people fucking retarded? The British king is historically the guy who upholds British rights against the tyranny of parliament (the nobles).
Fucking goddamn retards and your rexophobia

This is actually laughably wrong and show what kind of retarded simpleton you are.

This is absolutely retarded.
England was the least authoritarian of all the feudal states in Europe.
Benjamin Barnes
We need an authoritarian government with unlimited power to protect our liberty from our elected officials
Socialist detected.

The BBC TV cucks are literal soyboys, if you live in a shithole council estate they won't try anything due to the locals being 100x more intimidating than them. Good luck getting Duwon, Bovice and Tyrese to pay their TV fee
Julian Wilson
>Not sure what to say about the T.V. policein your country other than when the Brits tried that shit with us here in the U.S. our ancestors would burn you to death or shoot you and your family to death, hack up the survivors, and leave them to rot in the street like the worthless garbage they are

I swear he ruined this timeline somehow, on a social and political level. It's not even the "thanks obama" meme, everything legit went to shit hard and fast since 2012.

Jacob Ward
Yes, the real guarantee of liberty is having your country ruled by a horde of lawyers and social studies majors, some of whom win popularity contest every few years, none of whom have any incentive to do anything but loot the taxpayers and beg multinational corporations and Jewish lobbying groups for cash to give to their political parties.

>Britain has always been the "nanny state"

Fucking pathetic

You're missing the point Nigel.
TV licences shouldn't exist. But I forget that Brits will unironically defend this.
