Great Britain has never been a full democracy and with no written constitution, open to widescale abuses of power by politicians and its deeply corrupted ruling class. Just ask anyone stilll seeking truth and justice for victims and survivors of UK state violence in Northern Ireland. As for the immediate future for its citizens, recent public actions by Elon Musk would suggest that they will be openly owned entirely by him and his global broligarchy in the near future.
Yes, when I first read about the Freeport fiasco in Private Eye, some yrs ago now, it did imbue me with some kind of shudder, reminiscent of when the UK government initiated hospitals & schools etc through PFI.
Many megalomaniacs do share unfortunate characteristics, possibly because they eventually enter their own delusional empires, and fail to find a way out, beyond communing with martians or whatever.
Thank you.
