I think the problem here is a difference between British authoritarianism and US authoritarianism. In the UK, gun restrictions are normal and favored, as is national healthcare (NHS), which assists with family planning, and if necessary, abortions in the 1st trimester.

By contrast, the US is more exploitative of the 99%, by using Protestantism against them in late stage capitalist maneuvers. But the Tory Party and newspapers owned by the owner of the Daily Mail have learned a lot from US politics, which inspired Brexit, which lifts regulations and ethics laws, so that a corrupt bribary system can also develop in the UK. Enter Jonathan Harmsworth and his Daily Mail, the Evening Standard, Metro, and other news media that have been controlled by Jonathan's family, and partially responsible for keeping the Tory party in power. The result is a grifting and gleaning of the working classes by the wealthy. One can read more about it here: https://spartacus-educational.com/spartacus-blogURL53.htm
