    Right, Britain isn’t a democracy it’s a monarchy. And it’s often been said that, no society can really afford a monarchy. So, it can also be said that all essential human rights and freedoms are always under threat, somewhere, by some group or other. All you can really do is hang onto the crumbs you have and fight for what those rights are or protest about them (or vote in a democracy). No matter how democratic the nation, essential human rights are always under the threat of extermination by some bigoted group or another.

      The two are not mutually exclusive.

        Well I’m not meaning to say that they are mutually exclusive I was just clarifying. I hope there is an underlying democracy throughout.

        Wow. (I’m staggering backwards). I’m just happy someone finally agrees with me on this forum!! I’m too used to “you’re an idiot” comments, obviously. Thanks for that! : )
