I don't believe the UK - which has historically been a nation of serfs under the king - has ever pretended to be free.
For instance, I don't think we're progressing too rapidly on the ratification of the European Constitution (whatever they're calling it this week) and are put to shame on that by formerly-communist countries such as Estonia & Lithuania.
However, emigration from the UK is currently at an all time high. Stroller.
