"The Detoxification procedure came about in 2052 to ensure that the civil war that obliterated what was once The United Kingdom of Great Britain never repeated itself. The civil war killed millions: Cities were burned to the ground; oceans were polluted; historic landmarks such as The Houses of Parliament were destroyed and reduced to ashes. As punishment, the people of the land were submitted to having their tongues removed, to prevent communication and speaking out against the government, and their emotions permanently 'frozen' in this demented procedure to keep them under control."
