Just a few years ago, newspaper headlines like these would have been spoofs, making fun of the UK tabloids:
But today, the headlines are real:

I suggest being afraid. Very afraid.

I thought that was how Nazism rose to power by Hitler eroding human rights. Indeed, be afraid.

First – the conservatives have to get this through the commons and they simply will never have the votes unless they go into coalition with the UK Idiots party – in which case we should be very afraid.

How very typical of the Tories – these utterly nasty self-seeking parasites are gradually destroying all of people’s rights. First it’s destroying employment contracts so that the working class have no stability in jobs and now it’s the whole whack. What’s next on the agenda? All the working to wear black shirts and salute our Dear Leader Cameron?

@ Bill I wish I was as optimistic.. “They’re all in it together”.
They recently voted (by a massive majority) to legalise (existing allegedly illegal) telephone surveillance. Can’t find the pertinent link – but this will do: “Temporary internet snooping laws railroaded through parliament with RIPA review http://recombu.com/digital/news/emergency-internet-snooping-law-railroaded-in-by-all-three-parties
Also, this just in “Police use of Ripa law threatens our civil liberties and press freedom” http://gu.com/p/423ya/tw via @guardian
and (just read the intro or you’ll have to pay!) Extent of police ‘spying’ exposed http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/article4226700.ece
and finally ..
“Britain and ‘Five Eyes’ Spy Group Challenged In EU Human Rights Court” http://shar.es/11Or8A
What does it say about the state of the UK when we are better protected from our own politicians (whom we vote for!) by the EU Court of Human Rights? .. which is why I would suggest that Westminster wants their own version. The gov’t hype about the difficulties in expelling “alleged” terrorists is a smoke screen.

It`s easy to see they`re building a dictatorship with increasing austerity for the poor. I`m very frightened for my children and grandchildren. Unless the majority of people refuse to comply with this regime, I don`t see an answer. The ballot box does not offer a solution since all parties are just various shades of the same thing.
I`m talking about peaceful civil disobedience here but I guess that makes me a non-violent extremist. They`re shutting down all the options.

Tories have been slowly stripping us of our rights for 35 years, I think I know where some have been getting their ideas.
“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.”

The question we have to ask ourselves is, ‘is it anymore startling than anything else that has gone on or is going on, like the bloody chem trails they spray on our heads, daily poisoning the air we breath, in the name of addressing global warming?’

We’d expect nothing less from the Tories and the tubthumping of the Daily Mail is par for the course, but so very casually undermining all that make us free, that protects us, that enshrines our rights is unanswerable. We can’t let it happen

Never before have I (nor my ancestors) witnessed the blatant descent into fascism, as is happening so quickly today. I despair! Their end game is to start a World War III. The Tories intention is to cut off benefits for the under 25’s to encourage them into the army, then when that cannot satisfy their desire for ‘cannon fodder’, begin national subscription. People who object will be viewed as potential ‘terrorists’. i.e. communists, subversives, islamists, etc, etc. They have already introduced the most draconian laws under the name of terrorism, by stealth recently, without so much as a murmur about this from the press. Who the hell does the British Establishment think they are?
