It is part of growing up and becoming an adult. There are a number of 
things which we (adults) think but are best left unsaid. Children blurt 
these things out.

The infantalisation of adults is all part of the grand scheme to turn 
us all into supplicant East Germans.

I think this is what those inside the tent are unwilling or unable to 
grasp. Those who disagree with them are not having some childish party 
political spat about somethign inconsequential. We are talking about 
keys.

An open prison, otherwise known as East Germany.

It is now clear that we in "the west" lost the cold war. The sort of 
open society "the west" used to represent, in which the public are 
trusted, is anathama to those inside the tent is not to be allowed. 
Instead us plebs are to be numbered and treated like shit, all in "the 
greater good". If "a few" "mistakes" are made this is "a price well 
worth paying."
