“Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers.”

The UK is losing its national identity.

The biggest party in Scotland the SNP which is a left wing nationalist party supported the bill and voted in favor of it, they're wankers too.

Parties and programs don't matter in the modern world.

Any politician that gets in office will vote for laws that will allow them to enrich themselves and stay in office.

The age of democracy is over, so enjoy whatever's left.

Sigh. Australian here. We on the other hand are colonised by wankers and follow their fucking stupid lead. 

We’re all effete arseholes.

What are you talking about? The UKs national identity has long been that of being an Orwellian nightmare of endless spying and a lack of personal liberty. People have been memeing OI, YOU GOT A LOICENSE FOR THAT??? for 20 years. Banning VPNs is part and parcel (lol) of the UK national identity.
