Excerpt:

As for the symbolism, here are a few items as they occur to me. However obvious, I hope they may nevertheless be worth saying:

We have turned over vast swaths of our lives to the control of experts.

That’s the way the left wants it.

This is what what socialism and the administrative state are all about.

The “knowledge” of “experts” is frequently a pretense to assert control over our lives.

Individual rights lose their meaning under socialism and the administrative state.

Abuse of the right to life is “part and parcel of a health system dominated by the state rather than the individual or the family” (as James Freeman puts it).

With the loss of the right to life and property goes the right to liberty.

Britain is lost in terms of retaining any semblance of Western values regarding freedom or liberty.

They will shortly become part of the Caliphate and subjugated to Sharia once the Socialists lose what little power they have left to Islam.

Don't leer, because we are right behind them with our own version of what they have already done to themselves.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
