I'd agree the Brits are the most oppressed. Considering we have so much freedom on paper, we are totally powerless and do nothing about it when the state decides to ignore our 'freedom'. We oppress ourselves. People in so-called oppressed countries have far more guts than we do. Brits are oppressed at a fundamental psychological level.

I think he meant repressed.

I was sacked from my job for voicing an opinion on Facebook about the "client group" of people I'd worked with. I mentioned no names and my Facebook settings were on "private", yet I got fired. Don't think for a second we have unequivocal freedom of speech in this country.

[pancrack]

no he did mean Oppressed - there is another doco with Penny in about England, its on youtube

[MightyScenester]

when penny rimbaud talks about how the british are the most oppressed people in the world does he even think about what would happen if he released that record in Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc etc - he's obviously never been out of the country...
