I've been watching the direction the UK has been headed for some time now, and I'm beginning to think V for Vendetta is a prophecy, not a worst case scenario.

To be fair, they have highly dangerous criminals like soccer hooligans and happy-slappers loose on their streets. If that isn't a reason for a police state, I don't know what is.
Sorry, UK, I'm sure you probably have real criminals too (just none of the ones from Guy Ritchie films). You do have terrorists though, so there's something. I'm guessing those terrorists are probably why you can be harassed by 5-0 for no reason.
On the plus side, most of the cops there are unarmed and can't shoot you 41 times for reaching for your wallet.
