It is a truism that as regimes get less capable of government they become more draconian.

The Starmer regime is about as incompetent a government as we have seen outside Haiti, so we should not perhaps be surprised at the monster over-reach that has manifested at an ever-increasing shrillness since the confidence trick of the WEF swap from Tory to Labour.

It does conjure up visions of dystopia that are positively medieval. Sumptuary laws for the modern age, no doubt with updated corruption to administer them.

How long the regime can last is becoming a real field for bets.
