Association: Don't rent a room in the same house as a suspect otherwise you'll get executed by the Met on the underground.
Religion: Not a very good history there. Expulsion, decapitation and burning being favourites.
Travel: Free? With registration plates been recorded all over the place, fuel costs, ticket costs, stamp duty, stuffed up roads, stuffed up rails, 12 month minimum term periods on phones, TV Licences, and internet access, road tolls, etc. If there is a principle of Freedom of Travel, it is not apparent.
Speech: Not any more. It is now illegal to make a number of statements, primarily regarding race and terrorism. Also, we now have one of the few countries in the world that cannot demonstrate in the capital in a meaningful way. Also, the Welsh might have an opinion on Freedom of Speech.

It means feeling guilty forever more for the slave trade
It means feeling guilty forever more for the British Empire
It means feeling guilty forever more for promoting the Opium trade in China
It means feeling guilty forever more for Breaking away from the Catholic Church
It means feeling guilty forever more for not reaching the Pole first
It means feeling guilty forever more for being British and having to make it up to the rest of the world, by allowing them to come here and dictate to us on how things should be run in our own country forever more.
