Believing is not enough

Britain is full of public government campaigns, not only to remind us of our duty to pay taxes, but also to eat five fruits a day, reduce our drinking, drive safely, moderate the consumption of sunflower oil etc. Britain is not only the most watched country by number of CCTV cameras, but it is also a country which government pretend to know how to rule our lives better than ourselves. Gordon Brown, the unelected Primer Minister, might believe in individual initiative and responsibility as Britain’s engine, but bullying people is not the way to put his ideal into practice.
