Comment

So we have a Home Secretary who wants to lock up anyone he wishes, (was forced to back down), without any evidence, based solely on 'intelligence' (the same intelligence that had no proof of WMD but accepted ownership of the sexed up version of their dossier) and he wants us to carry a manditory trackable ID card linked to a big brother database on steroids.

Add to this their plans to put congestion charging 'pay per mile' trackable chips in cars. So the Government can track you in real time anywhere you drive.

Add to this their plans for compulsary detention for people deemed mentally unstable.

Then add in the knowledge that the Home secretary now believes that anyone who disagrees with him is crazy.

What do we get? a high-tech version of a Communist style police state, or should that be, due to Blairs lap-dog approach to rightwing neo-con extremists in the USA, a high-tech version of a right wing fascist police state?

Either way, the laws and technology being pursued by the labour party allow for you indefinate detention without charge or trial based upon the home secretary's belief that you may be crazy and if you disagree, then you are crazy.

These dangerous people need to be stopped. It turns out that John Major was right with the new labour new, danger posters.

"Liberty shall not of itself flourish but for the careful vigilance of determined souls."

"All that is required for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing"

"First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist - so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat - so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew - so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left who could stand up for me."
Pastor Niemöller
