Old school totalitarianism as imposed by tyrants like Joseph Stalin left some aspects of human behavior unregulated. In the UK, progressives are progressing to new extremes of suffocating control via Keir Starmer’s nanny state:
The Prime Minister gave the example of teaching children to brush their teeth as he suggested he could introduce more interventionist policies.
Starmer explains why Big Government needs to oversee the brushing of teeth:
‘But I’m afraid if the cost of not doing it is children actually losing their teeth before they’re 10 years old and or very, very good NHS staff having to use their skills to take teeth out instead of doing other things, then that seems to be a necessary measure.
‘I do think there are other things that we will, you know, put out there for the point of the consultation.’
A ban on outdoor smoking is reportedly planned, which would have the added benefit of protecting birds flying by from secondhand smoke.
Next, telescreens may be installed in all homes, so that bureaucrats can monitor compliance with exercise mandates.
