All these schemes would have been put in place had the conservatives retained power.
The conservatives wanted ID cards, the rollout of CCTV cameras started under conservative rule as well, i believe.

The police could take "intimate samples".

The labor party isn't your only enemy if you value your liberties and freedom. The state is your enemy because your liberty interferes with the flow of capital and the state's only purpose is to serve the capital, since Thatcher / Reagan anyhow and probably before but the gloves really came off with thatcher.

Rise up, you have nothing to lose but your flat screen TVs, mobile phones, negative equity, new car, plastic toys of no utility and of course your freedom and lives.
On second thoughts, don't rise up.

The Labour government are run by a bunch of loonies; everyone knows that. The only people who support them are public loonies - and unfortunately those ones don't have the understanding or intelligence to realise Labour are taking away their liberty, freedom, opportunity, future and wealth.

Labour are imprisoning the population and stifling us. The public have become robots to Labour and it's very very frightening.

First item on the BBC news this morning the Labour government wants to censor the internet. We are probably enjoying the last few years of freedom to post dissident material.

Revolution just isn't the British way of doing things I suppose.

Maybe it wasn't but Britain's cultural shape is changing.

I can certainly see riots. We've already had riots over race, definitely in Oldham, maybe Burnley as well? Can't quite remember where else. And that was during the 'good times' so when the recession starts to bite next year I can see that all erupting again.

We won't have a revolution. The lower classes are happy enough not starving on their benefits/with minimum wages, and things aren't bad enough that the middle classes would risk their lives.

But I think there's got to be some radical changes within the benefits system. People are going to have to come out of their comfort zones. We can't afford any longer to 'carry' those who are really able to earn a living.

(With absolutely no intended reference to those who, for whatever reason, are unable to work. The benefits system was originally intended to be a safety net and should always be just that .... but not more IMO).

Think it's only in relation to children's viewing. But they are stupid enough to think it's that easy to protect children.

The counter terrorism bill has been used against opposition MPs and other sovereign countries. What's to say that the same won't happen with this?
