    Can't keep any of the others without it.

    The UK does. How does that work?
    Do they? Try publishing something about the crown and pedophilia in the UK and get back to us.
    US has better free speech protections than UK. But deference to the Crown and some differences in libel laws does not mean Brits are not a free people.
    Can't carry a pocket knife, can't criticize the crown, definitely don't name your dog Hitler as a joke, pay 40% of your income to the state while your elites offshore their assets.

    "Free people" is a relative term.
    Britain is not a tyranny yet.
    That's kind of the point of the whole thing here though isn't it. Social norms change. Relying on them for the preservation of your societies rights and adherence there to is short sighted. Just look at how many Zoomers don't think freedom of speech is important.

    The point of this exercise isn't to say the Brit's (c)onstitution is better than our (C)onstitution. I don't view this as being the case. I'm just saying in the big scheme of things, it's still a free country. And further more, I try to give the mother ship as much respeck as possible, because the primary reason we are the country we are is because of the fact we were founded by freedom loving Englishmen who's ancestors only one century prior did away with absolute monarchy.

    Except those poor blokes in Ulster who still say the rosary might disagree just a tad.

    Now, if you want to make the argument that the Scots are the primary reason we are the country we are, I could get on that bandwagon...Adam Smith, John Knox, Andrew Carnegie, David Byrne.....

    Quit sucking England's dick. My grandpa left there is 1670 for a reason. (Probably because he was broke and had no skills)
