It's not often we find anything to praise the Liberal Democrats for. So, for the love of positivity, it is nice to give kudos - for a change - to one of their number.
David Heath MP has called for a Parliamentary debate on the war on photographers.
Making a strong speech in the Nord de la Manche county hall (formerly known as the House of Commons), he lambasted the harassment of happy snappers by ZaNuLiebour's militia under supposed 'terror' legislation.
He told MPs: "I wonder if we could have a debate on what I can only term abuse of Section 44 of the Terrorism Act by police. It is not satisfactory that people up and down the country are being stopped, are being told that they can’t take photographs and if they have taken photographs are asked to delete them from their cameras, on the whim, it would appear, of police officers. So far we have had people who have been told they are not to take a picture of Christ Church in the City, of St Paul’s, of railway wagons, of Christmas lights and of Mick’s Plaice - a fish and chip shop in Chatham. These are not prime terrorist activities and I do think the police need some education in the very, very strong powers that we give them in this House to make sure they are not used improperly."
We're not sure how long it has taken politicians to notice how the people they are meant to serve - us the people - are being terrorised by ZaNuLiebour's legislation.
Certainly, Conservative MP David Davis has folk hero status for making a stand for civil liberties... but generally speaking, the politicians who passed these bad laws that have allowed the public to be terrorised by a police state and have been seemingly relaxed at how we're living under tyranny.
So, bravo David Heath for having some bottle and speaking up for the public. You're probably p*ss*ng in the wind, because the ZaNuLiebour lot seem to love their endless tyranny - but we admire you for trying.
And goodness me, a Liberal Democrat MP saying something of national importance and worth listening to.
Anybody would think there's a General Election around the corner.
