I’m a UK citizen but currently live abroad . I recently returned to the UK for a short break after several years away and was surprised by just how “controlling” it felt. From average speeding cameras within cities, restrictions on e-mobility, to legal age to purchase mundane items, it just all feels a little oppresive on daily life. I felt like with the smallest of mistakes there’s a fine or penalty just around the corner.

Does every one feel like this? Do those living in the UK feel like the number of rules and laws has got out of control? And if so, where and what?
