Just keep Esther Ranson out of cabinet.

frightening when they are listed..and there are probably many more things we haven't thought of-apart from the illegal invasion of Iraq,
My word for it is facism but Orwelian and Kafkaism spring to mind.
Hopefully att he next general election there will be a host of new indepedent MPs voted in, even if it means putting up with Esther Ranzen!

Criminalising peaceful protest should also be added to that list.

I in no way support the BNP and cannot see myself ever voting for them, but I had to salute the man who explained the reason why he did - not because of his main reason, which was a as a protest, but for what he said in addition. After the Labour MP had branded the BNP as fascist, this man went on to list many of the recent actions taken by Labour.
Increased surveillance.
Monitoring of communications.
Tracking of vehicle movements.
Arresting people for taking photographs.
Demanding that people taking holidays abroad submit full itinerary and a list of people they intend to meet.
ID cards.
National DNA database.
National fingerprint database.
Detention without trial.
etc.
Whatever label you put on this activity, it's all very unpleasant and totally wrong. The current Labour government make the BNP look like pussy cats.
It's not just Brown, or the economy, or the expenses row. It's that we have the most appalling and oppressive government since the days of Cromwell.
Maybe this is the main reason why Labout have fared so badly in recent polls. Finally the people are beginning to say "NO! Enough is enough!"
