It's what you'd expect of a country that's rapidly diving into Orwellian dystopia.

Do you actually live in the UK or is this based on Musk tweets?

NTA but I went to London for new years two years ago and it was worse than Musk’s tweets.

“See it. Say it. Sort it”

Ugh

I live in the UK. It is far from perfect and the laws restricting the right to peaceful protest (enacted by the last government) had a very unwelcome authoritarian edge. But I don't see it "rapidly diving into Orwellian dystopia".

Also London, is very different to the rest of the UK, in many ways.

>“See it. Say it. Sort it”

You know that the UK has a long history of terrorists placing bombs on public transport?

> I live in the UK

Do you live in all of the UK?

I don't pay attention to Musk's tweets but I'm not surprised that he has made the same observation as me and many others.

...and of course many in the UK are too scared to speak out.

Edit: apparently there are bots watching this and ready to bury the truth! How easy it is to expose them...

Uhm... the country we're talking about is the UK. Not some US state...

The US is heading down the same path but the UK (and much of the EU) is further along.
