Free Speech Go To Hell

Yet another EU Directive:

[The Equal Treatment Directive] is common hate crime legislation, which will turn disapproval for Islamic practices or homosexual lifestyles into crimes. Europe’s Christian churches are trying to stop the plan of the European political establishment, but it is unclear whether they will be successful. The media are silent on the topic.

The directive applies to social protection and health care, social benefits, education and access to goods and services, including housing. American citizens and companies doing business in Europe are also required to adhere to it.  The directive’s definition of discriminatory harassment is so broad that every objection to Muslim or homosexual practices will be considered unlawful.

We Brits are such an offensive lot aren't we and the peace-loving minority must be protected from our 'propensity to violence & aggression'?  TM Jack Straw.  'We must be mad, truly mad.' TM Enoch Powell.

Is their really any point in all this?  I seem to remember a saying about a wise General knowing when to withdraw from the battle.

Mind The Language

I'm beside myself.  Taxed, fined, penalised, threatened - and all with our own money.  Why do we let them get away with it?  WHY?

Massive expansion of the Big Brother state is planned.  The £200million-a-year sum will give officials access to details of every internet click made by every citizen - on top of the email and telephone records already available.

Here's the latest cattle prod up the taxpayers' collective backside:

A Home Office spokesman said the costs involved were entirely separate from those necessary to comply with the European Data Retention Directive, which requires the storage of phone and email records.

Comfuckingpletely ripping us off
Enfuckingtirely wrong
Unconfuckingditionally authoritarian
Comprefuckinghensively undemocratic

Do Something Or Wave Goodbye

Still don't believe the Surveillance State is out of control?

"However, the [Environment] agency is also trialling a register of secret informants who report suspected waste offences in the north east of England, and eventually plans a national spy network, the Commissioner reported."

Do Something Or Wave Goodbye

Outrage! Time to march on Parliament en masse

Parents could face a £5,000 fine for driving their children's friends to a sports event or Cub Scout meeting.

They face punishment and a criminal record if they have not been vetted first by a massive new government agency.

An astonishing 11.3million people - one adult in four - are likely to come under the watchful eye of the Independent Safeguarding Authority.

How far are we going to allow these communists to push us, before we protest?

Do you really want to be on their fascist database for the privilege of transporting your children's friends around? Where will it end?

Will you need a CRB check to take your children to school? And if you decide to educate your children at home, will the government want to inspect your home?

This is the thin end of the wedge. We know what these control freaks are like and we know what their agenda is.

Parents, don't wait until it's too late. Organise yourselves on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Get a protest going and if need be, bring this rotten government down if they don't back down.

Evil b*stards!

Edit: This has the smell of Ed Balls all over it!
