I would like to know whether anyone has an opinion on whether the new labour government (ie Brown and Blair)have eroded and attacked our liberties.
Personally I feel that we are really under attack from the state. We have more CCTV cameras in the UK than any other state. We are having more laws passed every month than anywhere else I know. We have a surveillance, Orwellian society. Massive numbers of "anti-terrorism" laws are been passed or planned such as the right to hold a suspected terrorist for weeks on end without charge. This seems ridicoulous. Our free speech is been attacked also. And last but not least they are still persisitng with giving us all ID cards. This was something we last had during WW2, wasnt it.
I would love to know what anyone else thinks.
