Civil liberties: The ConDems become ZaNuLiebour II

Well, we have already seen the bogus public consultation exercise asking us which bad laws (statutes, actually) we, the people wanted to have repealed... a consultation which Nick Clegg inadvertently but kindly exposed as being nothing but a sham PR-exercise.

Yet how big a sham and bogus image deal, we're only just beginning to learn.

The Daily Mail lead the way with this one today, reporting how: "Hugely controversial ‘Big Brother’ plans to store details of every internet click, email and telephone call that we make are being revived by the Coalition, it emerged last night."

So much for restoring civil liberties!

Is there anything that these parties ever keep a word on?

Cast Iron David Cameron was already a busted flush over his empty European Empire rhetoric.

Now this.

How long did this take? Five months?

Five months in which we've seen two diametrically opposed parties - the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats - seamlessly merge into a homogeneous, principle devoid goo of vacuousness.

And now, the two together have decided to incorporate the worst of ZaNuLiebour into their conduct in office, too.

This really is a totalitarian, one party state.

Every five years, we get ten seconds where we get to make a pencilled 'X' mark onto a piece of paper. That passes as power to the people.

Then the party (or parties, now) which get the most pencil scrawled 'X' marks do what the bloody hell they want anyway and it has little or no resemblance to anything that was in their manifesto.

They really are all the same party. It's actually now just hilarious.

It's also hilarious that the Government think we don't know that they're cataloguing everything we say or do anyway.

Of course they have great ruddy files on each and every one of us already. You'd be an idiot to imagine otherwise.

This is just an exercise in trying to legitimise what they're already doing.

Come on - do you really imagine that a political blog isn't watched?

Or that any campaign group that you're a member of hasn't been infiltrated or is at least watched very closely?

The people in Vauxhall (who are actually on the other side of the river, but why shatter the myth?) no doubt have masses of files on all of us already.

No, the story here isn't the not-shocking abuse of our freedoms and liberties...

...the story here is the unmasking of the one party, totalitarian state which we really live under.

  1. Oh, the blogs are being monitored all right TC.

    The recent euro barometer poll results have given the golden, unelected, true sons of God a kick in the gonads. They honestly believe that their unpopularity is down to those nasty bloggers saying nasty things about them.

    It’s OK though, we are now paying for a propaganda assault to convince us that we are in denial and we all really love the EU; they really are getting desperate.

    I expect you will experience a ‘dropping in’ from one of them pretty soon as there are definite signs that they are mobilising their acolyte orcs in order to challenge the wrong headedness of the EU dissidents on EU-skeptic blogs.

    What amuses me is that they continually make references to “directive this and regulation that” which means absolutely nothing to us. All that useless crap in their heads and it is of no use whatsoever in the real world.

    These types never stop, they believe in the cult of EU. I believe that they will have to find some way of censoring the Internet.

    I actually wonder how far they are willing to go. These Common Purpose/Erasmus trained weirdoes scare the shit out of me!
