Over on the ArmBritain forum, I proposed the idea that a Brit should seek asylum in the US. The claim would be that he is being persecuted politically, owing to the State denying him the right to effective defence of his person ... and forcing him to rely upon the State's machinery for his personal protection.
Now, recent admissions by the UK Police, have revealed that there is only one policeman on the streets for every 18,000 citizens. Clearly, the State cannot hope to safeguard the lives of the people.
Such an asylum claim might have the effect of raising the profile of "liberty" in the UK ... irrespective of whether the claim succeeds, or not.
What do you think? Would this idea have any legs?
It seems to me that we Libertarians need to become a little more aggressive in our demands.
