In what sense is the UK even a free country anymore?

You can't do much with your own property, can't own a gun, don't have free
speech, you can't even defend yourself if someone breaks into your home. High
taxes, shit economy, mass 3rd-world immigration, you get arrested if you're
white and complain about any of it. But it's sexually degenerate so that means
it's "free", I guess.
