They buy into the "if you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear" crap - until their own collars get fingered, when they whine "I never thought this would happen to ME!"<br /><br />We are indeed living in a STASI-style state, and the Tories don't show much sign of wanting to dismantle it. I know what Winston Churchill would have said and done. <br /><br />Nine million people (sheep?)swamping the swine 'flu hotline is appalling. Don't they take responsibility for their own lives any more? A few days in bed with Lemsip (or better still hot rum, lemon and honey) should do the trick for most of them. We were laid low for five weeks over last Christmas and New Year with a much more virulent form of 'flu and didn't even call the doctor, knowing how busy the surgery was.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-88330436966469314272009-07-30T08:56:29.464+01:002009-07-30T08:56:29.464+01:00we need to reinstate rights for uk citizens.

There ARE things worth learning about effective management and teamwork, but judging from this video I very much doubt whether Common Purpose is teaching them - though I gather that it turns over £5 million annually, which does make one wonder....<br /><br />Incidentally, Tonk, it was Lord Acton (not Dicey) who coined the "all power corrupts" aphorism.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-88329100316465009642009-07-29T20:05:03.276+01:002009-07-29T20:05:03.276+01:00anticant.

How many times do we read on this site that a tory council is responsible for blatant nannyism?<br />What does that mean for us though? The only opposition to Labour is Conservative. What do we do when we vote them in at the next general and nothing changes?<br />When we go to the ballot box there is no "No government thanks" option.<br />If we must have them, we at least need to make it clear we will not put up with thier nonsense. So far, unfortunately, we are not doing that, even close.<br />I fear the demise of our democracy will get a lot worse in the years to come.Buckonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-60129026909836340012009-07-29T13:15:52.193+01:002009-07-29T13:15:52.193+01:00I have recently been reading a book called 'Th...I have recently been reading a book called 'The Traveller' by someone called John Twelve Hawks. The book itself is a bit of a mish-mash of Dan Brown meets 'The Matrix' meets conspiracy theory by way of William Gibson *but* its core revolves around the idea that a frightened population is an easily controlled population. Further to this it says that a frightened population will accept anything the ruling elite say as long as it is made out to be in the interests of the population and that population will willingly submit to virtual imprisonment if frightened enough. It uses the idea of Benthams Panopticon (a prison where one person or a few people can see what all are doing) but updates it to use CCTV, internet surveillance etc to spy on the population and keep them under control.<br /><br /> Whilst it is a fictional novel a great deal of it rings true...we currently have mass surveillance and the threat of id cards (called Protective Link in the novel) to stop so called terrorism and Nannys media whip up the fear factor with stories of Swine Flu (which is going to kill us all), paedophiles on every corner and half of Al-Qaeda living over the chip shop in the High Street.<br /><br /> All that the novel covers is in existence right now and Nanny is using it all too enthusiastically.Kaptain_Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625273381318758234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-23103649314429916142009-07-29T11:32:20.867+01:002009-07-29T11:32:20.867+01:00Ken,

(My wife) I was talking about the massive increase of programmes filmed with or about our police....They all seem to have the same message; We'll have you coz we're watching you and we know what you're up to etc etc.<br /><br />Dicey said that power corrupts and absolute power abosolutely corrupts it seems he was ahead of his time and describes present day Nanny very accurately.<br /><br />Would a change in government change the situation?...I doubt it because once one has the opportunity to use such powers, it is very hard to give up those powers as you never know when they will come in handy.<br /><br />Makes you wonder what it must be like to live in a real democracy, I can just about remember but, my memories are getting a little cloudy....Still perhaps either Iraq or Afghanastan will invade us in a decade or so to impose democracy on us now they are democracies themselves....Now that would be ironical wouldn't it?Tonk.noreply@blogger.com
