All you have to do is to ask yourself whether you believe that our puppet government (along with its EU masters) is: A} Benevolent or B} Self-serving?
Once this question has been posed and our experience has roundly rejected 'A' as even a possibility, it is easy to see that The Nanny State is not some philanthropic body which has 'lost its way a little' but rather a mechanism for control; a control which is moving inexorably towards the Stalinist goal of removing all decision-making from the populace.
It is simply one more tool used to erode our few remaining, democratic freedoms.
