Tonight the gagging law is passed

Perhaps take an interest in politics.

Yes, I was trying to. 38 degrees does not could as objective reporting, they're all singing from the same hymnsheet as you.

How do you get that from the links you've posted?

Charities and voluntary groups raise concerns for civil society as controversial bill limits groups' spending ahead of an election

Neither article actually explains what the implications are other than limited spending.

I assume this is why he was loath to post a proper link, in case people read it and realised he was talking utter tosh.

None of the dailies here are reporting this (at least I couldn't see it on the Telegraph, Mail or Guardian) so it can't be that much of a deal.

Uless they've all been gagged from reporting on it

Yes, lobbying groups, including trade unions and charities, are being restricted on how much they can spend.

From May 2014, the draconian new rules would prevent non-politicians from speaking up on the big issues of the day.

No it doesn't. They can still say what they like. It does stop, for example, trade unions taking out full-page newspaper ads and billboards to support any particular party with the only limit being their bank balance.
Normally this type of law would be seen as a good thing - look at the US and complaints over the power of lobby groups there.

Indeed, he'll no doubt take the fact it's not being reported as the papers toadying up to the government.

Do you think we can have the smart uniforms this time?

Interesting the relationship between the defensive submissive and the authority who dominates and lusts for even greater control.

[d000hg]

Not really, even if I understood what you're trying to say.

[SpontaneousOrder]

Maybe an example would help.

It is the wish of the government to get fracking underway in the north.

Protest about this policy and you're now breaking the law as of today.

This isn't true.

[Bunk]

This isn't true.

I think you've missed the point of the Scooterbot
