Independent on Blair regime's fanatical destruction of society
Well worth a read but doesn't go far enough. We are actually near a serious crisis point, and it was only just over a week ago that another judge noted that we are proceeding towards anarchy and a police state as the law is pulled to pieces, politicised and made worthless.
For me the police state is pretty much here already, all we are doing now is waiting for the UK's Tiananmen square. Sadly, a large chunk of the media and a good proportion of the British people will have themselves to blame for being appalling useless cowards.
From the Independent article, 'Blair laid bare':
"That compliance is what scares me the most. People are resigned to their fate. They've bought the Government's arguments for the public good. There is a generational failure of memory about individual rights. Whenever Government says that some intrusion is necessary in the public interest, an entire generation has no clue how to respond, not even intuitively And that is the great lesson that other countries must learn. The US must never lose sight of its traditions of individual freedom." Independent
Also:
"... Charles Moore, the former editor of The Daily Telegraph, now a columnist and the official biographer of Margaret Thatcher, believes that New Labour contains strands of rather sinister political DNA.
"My theory is that the Blairites are Marxist in process, though not in ideology - well, actually it is more Leninist." It is true that several senior ministers had socialist periods. Charles Clarke, John Reid, recently anointed Home Secretary, and Jack Straw, the former foreign secretary, were all on the extreme left, if not self-declared Leninists. Moore's implication is that the sacred Blair project of modernising Britain has become a kind of ersatz ideology and that this is more important to Blair than any of the country's political or legal institutions"
It's funny really isn't it ? We don't let former pedophiles work in schools with kids, but we put (former-) communists into goverment.

was interesting watching Blair this morning, attempting to explain why civil liberties should be stripped away from us. Because the world has changed, apparently. That's the best he could come up with.
The world has changed, that's for sure. It's changed for the worse. Mainly due to the likes of Bush, Blair, Sharon and now his successor.
Blair is a strong advocate of turning people into slaves for his perception of the 'greater good'.
It's no surprise that's the best he could come up with. How do you sell people into appalling tyranny these days ?
Richard, agreed!
