What an asshole...no, not you Guthrum, Huhne. They really don't get it, do they.
Not the first time he's done it.
Remember the "freedom bill" from the Convention on Modern Liberty? he used it in that as well.
"The Government forgets that George Orwell's 1984 was a warning, and not a blueprint."
Briliant! If only we'd thought of that before we sent every one of their MPs a book with a message, eh?
Jeez
Plagiarism by the SDP really hurts eh?
Careful. Chris Huhne might just become a defector one day, after all the Lib Dems can't stand him - he's a liberal for goodness sake - they'll have him birched if he keeps complaining about authoritarianism.
OH NO! A party with more than 0.1% of the vote is critisizing the govt and talking about civil liberties - this must stop immediately!
Sorry for the sarcasm, but this is ridiculous. Surely it's GOOD that parties that have some attention in the media are speaking out against the current govt? This is what they are supposed to do. Or am I wrong?
I personally think that it's a good thing that opposition parties are speaking out, even if it means 'nicking' libertarian ideas - the more the better. Unless you're expecting LPUK to be in power after the next election? Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but as much as I'd love that, it's not gonna happen - let's be realistic.
@Gav you make a very valid point. But it is beholden on someone from the Party to point out that we said this first.
Gav, I agree to an extent, but this line really does take the piss a bit:
"The Government forgets that George Orwell's 1984 was a warning, and not a blueprint."
There's no need to literally steal LPUK's exact wording. But besides the fact it's plagerism it's good - at least it's more in the public eye now.
It's also laughable that a Lib Dem says it, when his party is intent on banning everything it lays eyes on.
he's a liberal for goodness sake
Who agreed with banning a Dutch MP attending a private function- some Liberal
"A party with more than 0.1% of the vote is critisizing the govt and talking about civil liberties"
but got 6.9% in another election, but lets just concentrate on the negative
The key liberal principle was enunciated by John Stuart Mill in his essay "On Liberty", in which he stated that the only legitimate reason for coercing someone against their will was to prevent harm to others. It is precisely the prevention of harm to minorities that justifies the restrictions to Mr Wilders' freedom of speech. ~ Chris Huhne
Teleological mindset. This is why libertarians need to grab onto methodological individualism/deontology and HOLD TIGHT. It's the key difference between libertarianism and fluffy liberalism.
Classic "trendy vicar" syndrome. We know he's not "down with the kids".
@Gandhi: Judging by the teleolgical quote I think someone is channeling Chris Huhne on the comments page of the Northwest LPUK blog (see my post about CCTV in private homes).
