London does not look like 1984 was it’s guide - have you even read 1984?
It’s about an oppressive dictatorship that strictly rations goods to its citizens, where healthcare access is limited, where the government mandates spy devices in homes, where the government abducts and tortures people who (even silently) disagree with the government.
None of that applies to the UK. I’m tired of people who clearly haven’t read 1984 say everything is literally 1984. Read the book. Then you can talk about what is and what isn’t 1984.
Of course it doesn’t stop all crime, are you dense? Seatbelts and airbags don’t stop all car injuries, that doesn’t mean we should get rid of them and call them a failure, does it?
You may as well say “murder being illegal doesn’t stop all murders, so why punish it at all?”
Yes, it is.
