A Perpetual State Of Emergency



I opened our local paper last night and a leaflet dropped out inviting me on behalf of the Police to dob my neighbour in for acting suspciously as he might be a terrorist.

What the Hell is going on, that we are in a State of Perpetual National Emergency, how long is it before we get a 'Hindenburg Edict' suspending all civil liberties ?

The Government have already granted themselves the powers to rule by edict under the CCA 2004.

Some members of Parliament and the House of Lords are starting to question the never ending near ten year old State of Emergency.

It's simply the usual Orwellian principle being used by more and more "democratic" governments these days. They're making such a bloody mess the jobs they're elected to do that the simplest answer for them is to "create, or exaggerate a threat" and then pretend they can protect people from their fear of it by ever more draconian legislation.

It keeps these people in power and us under their thumb.
