[Godebert]

" My guess, based on nothing, is that the average Britain is wealthier, happier, and has more freedom than ever."

Wealthier? Perhaps.

Happier? Doubtful.

More freedom than ever? Not true. Take for instance the right to keep and bear arms....which for the British has been all but completely eliminated.

The British have become more "subjects" to the socialist state than they ever were to any monarch.

Take for instance the right to keep and bear arms....which for the British has been all but completely eliminated.

To be honest, the vast majority of the British population don't care. In my own case, in my 45 years as a resident of the UK I have met one person who has shown the slightest interest in firearms.
