IF Britain should ever have a fully-fledged authoritarian government or a malevolent dictator they will have a lot to thank New Labour for.
Everything is now in place for a ready-made police state.
Over the past twelve years, New Labour has brushed aside age-old checks and balances on the abuse of political power. Its politicised the police and emasculated Parliament.
In just over a decade, the government has undone 100 years of democratic progress according to the International Commission of Jurists.
Previous generations would fail to recognise Britain today.
We live in a country where our every movement is observed and every important personal detail is known to the State. Even our homes are no longer our castles.
The governments of Blair and Brown have silenced critics and demonstrated intolerance for protest. They have encouraged neighbour to denounce neighbour and recruited others to spy and snoop.
Weve seen laws introduced to tackle terrorism, only to see them used to spy on suspected bin criminals and house-holders.
We now have secret courts, hearsay evidence, detention without trial and house arrest. Weve consistently been robbed of our freedoms and ancient liberties. Churchill must be turning in his grave.
Have we all lost our marbles?
Wake up Britain!
