Rights, Rights, Rights......
Living in a country with cameras on every corner spying on its citizens, with a medical system controlled by bean counters that decides who lives and dies, it is no wonder you feel this way. Your government has you under its thumb. Sing along with Mick: "Under its thumb, the government has me down..."

So a lot of city centres have CCTV cameras so that if you are assaulted you can get a conviction. That's taking rights away from scum muggers. What exactly do you do when you are wandering about the shops or bars at night that you don't want filmed? Who gives a fuck? You are in a public place.
Your fucking government now allows the tapping of phones without even a warrant!
You can have private health insurance in the UK if you want. I'd rather my tax money went on Healthcare than crazy corrupt defence procurements.
Also when I get ill I don't want to have to rely on an insurance company not deciding to rip me off on some small print clause when I'm at my most vunerable. More importantly if my kids get ill I get world class treatment for them with no limits and I don't have to worry about having to lose my house.
My friend from Virginia's insurance company suddenly decided that it wouldn't pay for speech therapy even for stroke victims, nearly bankrupted him until eventually after 5 years of lawyers getting rich a class action beat them.
Don't preach to me about healthcare in the US.
The US was independantly rated as having the 25th best healthcare in the world. That's a fucking disgrace.
Cheers!
