It's not wrong as England is within the UK: it's just not as precise as it could have been.

#14The couple of times I’ve even done as little as fly through Heathrow it has been apparent to me that the UK is on its way to becoming an unfettered surveillance state, and I never hear anyone talking about it.
We're too scared to talk about it lest our faces get added to a list.

#17I'm so embarrassed to be British these days. We're a small island of small minded people.
We're so small-minded we let in more than basically anyone else as a percentage of our population and land area.
I mean, if by small minded you mean "stupid" you're probably right, but I don't think you can mean much else. Unless you've never been anywhere else.

Being embarrassed by your nationality or citizenship is certainly a feat of small mindedness.

#20If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear. We are going to be hearing that argument a lot as the AI police state evolves
And you’re not trans. And you don’t perform drag. And you don’t go to an event with a lot of gay people. And you don’t get mistaken for someone because ai isn’t perfect. (Especially if your race doesn’t have many people in the dataset.)
But the people that don’t have anything to fear don’t see anything wrong with “inconveniencing” these groups.
