I don’t think people realize just how little freedom they have. Layer upon layer of legislation has been put in place to manipulate the way people behave. I mentioned in another thread about never seeing kids chalking a hopscotch on a pavement anymore and that’s because those children would be pounced on for vandalism. There are laws about how many people are allowed to gather in a public space; Its a very small number before the police can step in and disperse them. Our daughter can’t go with her mates to the local park because groups of teenagers are seen as suspicious.
What I resent is this extensive surveillance to ensure we all tow the line whilst believing we need their protection.

You cannot seriously believe that. Laws are in place for our protection, what would the government get out of turning us into an Orwellian society? The government is liable to change every four or five years, this isn't some kind of dictatorship. And we DO need their protection. If we lived in a country that truly has no freedom there really would be something to complain about.
