The road to tyranny

According to Wikipedia, tyranny " is the exercise of power beyond right which no one can have right to; and this is making  use of power anyone has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private separate agenda".- Does this at all sound familiar???
The entire policies of this country could fall under this umbrella. Just take " fracking" as an example; no one wants it. it has been proven to cause health problems and is devastating to the environment, yet the Queen has now made it easier for companies to drill on you land, they don't even have to ask your permission, and why?? Because that land was never yours; the Queen owns it!

Another definition that I found on-line that is perhaps more apt to our situation is: The system of governance that had developed around aristocracy and monarchy". In Latin the word tyranny means " illegitimate leader"

Can anyone connect the dots? Not only do they ignore our protests but now they have made it so that people don't protest about the important things, and how do they do this; by threats and intimidation- just ask Glenn Greenwald, he was just reporting on a story of laws being broken by the government and his partner David Miranda got treated like a criminal at Heathrow Airport.

Anyone even remotely connected to whatever the "powers that be" don't like- are not safe. And why has it become like this?? Because no one was paying attention to the signs of Dictatorship. Dictatorship is roughly described as a regime that is continually breaking the law and excusing it by saying that it was necessary to keep you safe.

Sound familiar??
