[QUOTE="anndra w, post: 393948, member: 57092"] Yes I think it's sensible to be resistant and distrustful of authority for sure - but I also think there are forces which want to destabilise our democracy - in the UK the courts have defended the rights of minority groups and the current UK government does not like that and the far right, and their funders, here in the UK really hate it. So as much I think we need to watch we don't give too much power to the police and keep them in hand - I'm also concerned there is a push by the far right to change our society permanently. [/QUOTE]
