Sadly, the Britain that we all loved is descending to the level of the Germany that they fought back in the 40s. They’ve forgotten about Orwell.
Under the Biden commissars that ran the CDC and FDA, things are not currently much different in the US. Either the science complied with the political narrative or it was ignored.

The UK has a Deep State, too.
What it doesn’t have is a Trump standing between the citizenry and the Deep State.
