Illiberal scum

Read this from the Times concerning our Labour government's descent into illiberalism. "GORDON BROWN has set himself on a collision course with the legal establishment over plans to give civil servants and government agencies the power to remove people’s passports without going through the courts."

I have blogged before that this government has quite vile totalitarian tendencies and is bordering on the fascist. Do read my previous articles and those by Devils Kitchen and others on the same topic. You may also want to read Devils Kitchen take on this story.


In the meantime here are some quotations that may be of interest:


From 1984 - "The new aristocracy was made up for the most part of bureaucrats, scientists, technicians, trade-union organizers, publicity experts, sociologists, teachers, journalists and professional politicians. These people, whose origins lay in the salaried middle class and the upper grades of the working class...

As compared with their opposite numbers in past ages, they were less avaricious, less tempted by luxury, hungrier for pure power, and, above all, more conscious of what they were doing and more intent on crushing opposition."


Also from 1984 - "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever."



From V for Vendetta - "And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense."



Benjamin Franklin - "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."



This Labour government believes like all socialist/fascists that the state is all and that the population is subservient to the state. The process of eroding and ending our ancient freedoms has begun and unless this Labour government is kicked out soon we will all be slaves.


As The Holloways sing so well:

"So this is great britain and welcome aboard
A sinking ship thats full of shit and someone nicked the oars
A failing false economy
an anti-punk automony
Our once unique Identity's
Been washed from our shores

...

In a land of hope and glory
do we really rule the waves?
The truth is a different story
We're all just a bunch of slaves"
