"No . You 've completely missed the point . But then again you like in the United Kingdom so I 'm not really surprised that you did . Your society has so much fear and distrust that it could actually be sold by the slice . Your paranoia is so pervasive that you 've insisted on the 10,000 security cameras being implemented in just the city of London alone . You 're so worried about a threat to your perceived safety that you do n't even trust your down police because you 're afraid they might wind up killing you . Fear is n't when you need a firearm to protect yourself . Fear is when you lock yourself away from the rest of the world and become unable to trust the police or your neighbors because you believe they 're out to murder you . Fear is when you give up your liberties and rights because you want the government to be your parents and protect you from yourself . The United Kingdom is nothing more than a society of fear , distrust and raging paranoia . Yours is a society that we wish to have no part of . Kindly keep your distrust of your neighbors to yourself and do n't try to tell us how we should run our country ."
"`` [ On ancient Athens ] : In the end , more than freedom , they wanted security . They wanted a comfortable life , and they lost it all & # 8211 ; security , comfort , and freedom . When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them , when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility , then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. `` & # 8211 ; Edward Gibbon History repeats itself when forgotten ."
