One of the problems with the UK is that many of the “pro freedom” people are still pretty statist.

Sure, they’ll rally behind anti vaccine protests because there’s a strong anti big pharma or anti big corporation sentiment, but if you were to suggest that we should end government schooling, the NHS, or allow the right to bear arms, they would gasp at that.

People generally do like big government in the UK, they just have this rosy idea that if only it were all a bit more appealing to the British white working class.

Thing is, we need to massively reduce the state and massively increase individual freedoms simultaneously, for the UK to have any chance of not becoming like communist China (but without the prosperity).

I worry that few a ready for how radical that conversation must be.
