The EU is a nasty anti freedom entity. England is even worse. Realistically habeus corpus does not exist there either. All the cops have to do is tell the judge that they are still investigating every 72 hours or so.
Not to mention Englands universal surveillance, the fact that it’s a crime to own a TV there without paying a special tax, (complete with vans that patrol to find violators) speech crimes, thought crimes, political opposition criminalized, a absolute gun ban not seen in the EU, sharia law enforced, etc,,
No, please don’t believe that England is any better than the EU when it comes to freedom.
The status quo of the UK is almost entirely because of the liberal politicians that go along with every single EU directive. These are the same politicians that forced Maggie Thatcher out of office.
British law still has the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 on the books. Going along with the EU directive nullified that law (due to the treaties declaring European law to be supreme over member states’ laws), and the conservatives (the real ones) are trying to get that power back and nullify the tyranny of the central government.
