Now that the British people have ceded their right to self defense, and to keep and bear arms, the government is inching toward totalitarianism. Kim notes that with their latest piece of legislation gives the government nearly unlimited power.

It looks as though the Brits have finally nailed the coffin closed on freedom, with the passage of the Civil Contingencies Act (CCA). I'll spare you the reading of it -- I already did the heavy lifting -- and point out that it basically says the following:

1. government can do pretty much anything it wants in the event of an emergency;

2. government will decide what constitutes an emergency; and

3. there's no way the citizenry can gainsay any of it.

The only thing left that stands between civil freedom and a police state is the benevolence of the government.
