The BBC were covering David Cameron's very important speech on civil liberties this afternoon, but for editorial reasons known only to themselves, they cut Cameron off part way through his announcement of what he was going to do about it - so if anyone from Conservative HQ reads this, put an embeddable video on your website and this blog will gladly carry it.
Anyway, it seems that Conservative Party leader David Cameron has woken up to the alarming erosion of civil liberties under ZaNuLiebour. He has attacked ZaNuLiebour for creating a "control state" with "shadowy powers" run by "political authoritarians" who are creating "endless laws" and "herding people into the net of the control state" with "over 3,000 new criminal offences in the last decade".
He said that the election of a Conservative Government would lead to a return to some level of personal freedom and political accountability - with people in control of the Government, not the other way around.
Cameron specifically condemned the misuse of terrorist legislation - particularly section 44. He also attacked attempts to remove juries from criminal trials and inquests. Cameron also expressed concern that attempts to erode the rights and justice from the British citizen were international with the ZaNuLiebour Government having signed up to deals giving alarming extradition powers.
Part of the policy pledges Cameron managed to outline before the BBC cut him off included:
- revoking powers of state authorities to enter your home without permission
- revoking powers that have been abused under RIPA (which he constantly referred to as "the grim RIPA")
- a pledge to review section 44 and stop and search powers
- to strengthen the legal right to trial by jury
We'll keep an eye on the Conservative Party's website for the rest of what Cameron was saying before the BBC cut him off and update this later (incidentally, Sky News had nothing of the speech at all).
In the meantime, we hope that Cameron is as good as his word. Someone needed to do something about the utterly vile way the ZaNuLiebour Government has ruined this country and stolen the civil liberties of the public - using their agents and the bullshit excuse of 'terror' in order to make us subject to harassment at any time.
It is with utter relief that we heard David Cameron speaking today. Utter, total, relief.
The Government should get out of our face, get out of our lives and if David Cameron recognises that, we will give him every bit of support in that endeavour.
Bravo Cameron. You've said it - and we pray you mean it.
