to exploit “freedoms” which are thankfully illegal in most other civilised

I guess I agree with the gist, though I'd phrase it differently.

Actually, I'd just remove the word "thankfully" from your text and I'd agree
completely if you were describing the main chunk of folks.  There would also,
of course, be lots of people who don't fit that bill.
