My letter in the Western Daily Press September 16th.
UK no longer a bastion of democracy.
What nation has a Parliament which refuses to uphold a
referendum result, does not allow a General Election, passes a law which could
see a Prime Minister sent to prison, and votes to intercept the private
communications of political staff?
Communist
China or perhaps Putin’s Russia? Maybe a
failed Third World state or a despotic Middle Eastern regime?
No - the United Kingdom.
It is obviously no longer a shining example of democracy or a bastion of
personal privacy. Being a member of the
European Union for 46 years has brought the nation to this.
S.W.
Ilminster.
Update 29 September.
Apparently this letter also appeared in the Bath Chronicle on September 19.
