Like for example, I don't think things like patriot act would work on average people here. Not just UK, but everywhere in Europe, and ESPECIALLY France.
(recently voted the most annoying nation in Europe 😛)
Some of it its down to culture, I suppose.

Fear and terror seem to work well on the French (or just about anybody actually) I don't see why the Patriot act would fail to work. It might not get passed but if it did nothing would stop it from doing what it's designed to.

Because people in Europe were disgusted at the Patriot Act, and because anyone with any basic knowledge of History knows that Patriot Act carries dictatorial characteristics.
Fear and terror work best on the Americans. Just spurt out few words about threatening liberty, democrasy and patriotism, and you have a half a country cheering for things, regardless of how stupid and dangerous they are.

I'm pretty sure everyone sees that? But once it's there the Patriot Act essentially protects itself from common sense or laws.

That type of manipulation has worked since the first caveman told his buddies that the guys on the other side of the river were taking their food. Just because Americans have the most obvious things to target doesn't mean that they're easier to manipulate.

No, words don't mean shit, but if you kill almost 3000 people, that will cause fear.
