> UK is regarded as extremely highly policed state by other Europeans Which ones? Britain is one of very few countries in Europe where the police don't routinely carry guns, and are perceived as approachable. I think you should look instead at inequality. Britain has the worst income equality in Europe. |

My police is approachable and I don't care about the gun on their belt. I saw them use it for protection of the citizens - I appreciate they have it and don't consider it over-policing, it's not moving that scale anywhere.
It's not about the gun, it's about the rights of the police. The police here carries a gun but has zero rights/power against citizens not breaking any laws. They can't even stop you and ask for your ID - that would be considered "communism" here (same with the cameras, that's a "communist practice").
