Take the pill and be a good, docile citizen. It's insane for me to think that a quarter of the UK has some sort of mental illness, that requires medication. Either this is a wild amount of overperscription, which wouldn't be that surprising, after having had some experience with the NHS; or things are very broken at a fundamental level.

Then again whenever you hear something about the UK in the news it is either some overbearing, authoritarian, conservative bullshit or some ultra liberal nonsense, there seems to be no middle ground. Lived there a few years and have no intention of going back.
