When people describe the UK situation like these, they are cancelled, downvoted to hell and called right wing extremists. I am positively surprised you were not downvoted or flagged.
What is UK trying to achieve? To maintain, as much as possible, a pretty controlling state in power. It is a country with no free speech, no significant human rights of any sort, population is at the mercy of the govern and they want to keep it that way. Apps like Signal give people some free speech - you cannot publicly say what you want to say, but at least you can say it to others without being cancelled or arrested for opinions that are not liked by the govern.
I don't know about other people but i have no agenda. I am neither right nor left (perhaps this is one of the topics where the two sides can find common ground). I support anyone on either side as long as they deliver good policy, the kind that improves people’s lives, maintains a stable economy, looks after workers and businesses with sensible balance, doesnt ostracise groups of people based on their religion, race, gender, and other irrelevant traits. I also support good policing that respects people. And i am genuinely worried that we are straying further away from these. Perhaps some people feel the same way and thats why they dont downvote my comment.
