[0]privacy, free expression and [1]civil liberties steadily eroded, and I
can't see anything changing for the better any time soon. With people
being [2]banned from the UK for expressing (admittedly reprehensible)
opinions, the continuing efforts to implement [3]mandatory ID cards and
the prospect of a Conservative government in the near future, I'm
seriously considering emigrating to a less restrictive country. Which
countries would you recommend in terms of freedom and privacy? Distance
is not an issue, though a reasonable level of stability and provision of
public services would be a bonus."
