    It's incredible how NewLie are destroying our freedoms.
    42 day detention (luckily rejected), retrospective taxation, ID cards, monitoring of emails, indiscriminate shooting of innocents such as Jean Charles De Menezes, snooping in our rubbish bins. And all under the guise of "fighting terrorism". Whatever next?

    There was a time in the 1980's when the govt. were answerable to the people. I do believe the Tories were in power then. People were encouraged to think for themselves and take control of their lives.
    Now the people are servants of the state and nanny Brown keeps us in check in case we should have ideas above our station.
    If you think it was the 1980s when the government were answerable to the people, you probably believe in Santa Claus too. Oh ....

        Anybody fancy a walk on 5 November?
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
