Absolutely.
Was it Orwell who used the interesting phrase
'Everything which is not compulsory is forbidden' ?
in 1984?
We are really as clinicians in a situation of intolerable moral and
ethical stress.
Remember as Brits we never felt the dead hand of the Nazis or the
Communists during the years preceding WW2.
We may be too slow to recognise in Britain the developing evil which
must have overtaken Germany and Russia in the 1930's.

New absolutism, new danger.
In order for evil to flourish, it is necessary only for good men to do
nothing.......
