Political Quote Of The Day: Gordon Brown On Liberty
DAVID Davis makes a stand, and Gordon Brown tells us that he’s the real champion of liberty:
… we have given people new rights to protest outside Parliament …
- Gordon Brown on “Liberty and Security”
Says Guy Herbert:
“… omitting to mention that until 2005 there was a general liberty to protest outside Parliament, and giving just a little bit of it back, having fortified the area in the meantime, is not all that impressive. Read the whole thing, if you haven’t been paying attention while a free country changed into something else.”
Over in the Mirror, Gordon Brown’s media mouthpiece Kevin Maguire is using Davis to show how “out of touch with most people” David Cameron is. Of couse, Brown can now see the people by looking out of his window…

How about we have the “new” rights to Silence and Habeas Corpus?
That’ll be a real PR coup…
Then again it’s just as funny when the Tories complain about aspects of their own police state so loving nurtured over 18 years, in exactly the same vein as Gordon does, because we are credulous enough to swallow it and not remember, like the Goldfish that we seem to be.
So who’s worse, really? All these aparachiks are doing is exploiting a known weakness in the myopic British Electorate, Blair proved ages ago that elements of the public swallow it whole, and even now over dinner will say that Tony-phone was alright, he was just “convinced” of the evidence at the time, yeah, just like it was the “Little Hitlers” under Hitler that got it so wrong, or those around Stalin.
This country is going to the dogs, day by day freedoms won in blood and long taken for granted are taken away from us, as started by the Tories and continued by New Labour.
And we let it happen and talk “knowingly” about it over dinner. Bought out being being alright jack and positive equity on out properties, but in the process I’ll wager we’ve lost something even worse.
This is not the Albion, this is Babylon, the Rastas were right about that.

Is Guardie Brown reintroducing the right to protest outside a fortified Parliament for fear that he will be one of the few protesters for 42 Dayvis of detention for terror suspects?
Is this renewed ‘freedom to protest’ his backclash against DDayvis the freedom fighter, who is showing signs of uniting all the disenfranchised Rebels With and Without a Cause?
1. Petronious, Interesting points on apparatchiks and the goldfish bowl of non-history -Who remembers?
Taxi Drivers? -Some day a real reign will come and wash all the scum off Downing Street. Protestors ? Politicians? Apparatchiks? Protestors?

So voters have no liberty to vote for a Labour, Lib Dem candidate? In Halt-them-Prices and How -den vote with so few candidates?
Not even ‘we have to talk about Kelvin’ following his ‘Hull Wota Shocker’ on pages 2,3,4 of The SUN. Read ‘There’s a Hull in my soundproof shocka, Dear Rupe, Dear Rupe’.
Is this democracy?
M and A
Seemingly so, if NuLab and Lib Dems don’t want to stand, who can force them?
