Wow, thank you for the detailed response!

I'm glad to hear there's supposed to be some form of accountability, and checks and balances but we've seen throughout history that those sorts of checks are always open to abuse or intentionally ignored when it's convenient for the powers that be. You may have a benevolent police force just now but that doesn't guarantee anything in the future.
Mandatory government ID on your person at all times is still dystopian.
At all times? Even when pished at 3am stumbling home? That sounds rather dystopian and I say that living in the country with the most CCTV in the world.

Fuck. No. The whole point of the NHS is free at the point of service. We have already paid for it via taxation, fuck double dipping and incentivising privatisation of healthcare.
You need only look at America for the logical conclusion of that. Or look at England to see what half private half public gets you.
Healthcare is not a service only for the well off. Everyone requires it.
Well shit. Thanks for correcting me!
