Albion Sinking Into Oceania
Some may notice I comment regularly on the Libertarian Samizdata blog, which is run by some transhumanist-leaning libertarian Brits. Its my primary means of keeping track of the increasing erosion of the birthplace of the anglosphere under the strain of creeping socialism, victimology, and ubiquitous surveillance, and given that I call this blog the International Libertarian, I suppose I need to comment on the state of liberty elsewhere in the world (though concluding that it is roundly dismal wouldn't be too far off the mark), more often than not.
That being said, I'll note that a recent Libertarian International article on the state of criminal law and the right of self defense in Britain is one of many that document the degree of absurdity that the British criminal system has descended to, letting career criminals off scot free while making a special effort to keep incarcerated normal folks who try to keep what little the socialist state has let them keep.
It should be rather obvious to any sane individual that the sort of inane distopias British writers and movie makers once warned us of is now coming to fruition there. Britain has become a sort of 1984 where the inmates are running the asylum, where the government is now openly in cahoots with the criminal class against the citizenry.
It is now time to start hanging the bastards, or get out.
To that end, and dovetailing with my ongoing recruitment efforts for the Free State Project, I hereby offer my marital services to single British libertarian ladies who need a legal way through our abysmal immigration system to escape the madhouse that Britain is rapidly becoming.

With Great Britain now the world's most violent developed country, the British government has hit upon a way to reduce the number of cases before the courts: Police have been instructed to let off with a caution, burglars and those who admit responsibility for some 60 other crimes ranging from assault and arson, to sex with an underage girl.
That is, no jail time, no fine, no community service, no court appearance. It's cheap, quick, saves time and money, and best of all the offenders won't tax an already overcrowded jail system.
Not everyone will be treated so leniently. A new surveillance system promises to hunt down anyone exceeding the speed limit. Using excessive force against a burglar or mugger will earn you a conviction for assault or, if you seriously harm him, a long sentence. Tony Martin, the Norfolk farmer jailed for killing one burglar and wounding another during the seventh break-in at his rural home, was denied parole because he posed a threat to burglars. The career burglar whom Mr. Martin wounded got out early.
