Rahm Emanuel, soon after Obama was elected in 2008, said, 'You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is that it's an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.'
So it seems, Theresa May is taking full advantage of the opportunity to further erode the freedom that individuals have achieved to flourish and prosper.
Is Brexiting Britain being made an example of for all Europeans who might retain hopes of returning to national sovereignty?
After all, if there is anyone who's chains are being pulled here, it is the those on the Right. To have this criminal incident repeatedly and indiscriminately portrayed as a Muslim problem, will probably find some knee-jerks among some Brexiters.
I wonder, will those knee-jerks be impervious to the paranoia which characterizes the politically-protected class?
Will they, in shear terror at the sound (in their own heads) of 'Allahu akbar!', with the best intentions, concede to giving up a free internet? That thing that they could never quite get the most out of. I'm not having a go at the Right. The responsibility to read and be well-informed is one which some find more difficult than others.
Will the State tap in to that sense of inferiority... with the insidious, underhanded notion that the State is there to relieve individuals of this burden... that it was always unreasonable to expect individuals who were not very well-informed to up their game, with help only available to them on a voluntary basis? That it was always too much... that experts in making sense of the world had to be relied upon.... government appointed experts?
