Civil Liberties in Britain, What Civil Liberties?

 
Author: Victor Lensora

I recall Tony Blair mentioning how they have had 9 years of success, he was obviously forgetting all their failures, and more importantly, the destruction of our civil liberties! This so called free society is about as free as your average country club membership!

Okay, firstly, they've introduced the Serious Organised Crime Act, that bans unauthorised demonstrations. This is a serious infringement of our civil liberties, for instance Milan Rai, who was convicted under the act for standing in Whitehall reading out the names of the British soldiers killed in Iraq. What kind of a society is one that doesnt even allow for protests such as the above, effectively remembering the dead? How can this be a free society?

You can now can be arrested and held without even being told what you are being held for, for hundreds of years, it was taken for granted that you could not be held without being told what you were being accused of! Now as a result anybody can be held in prison not knowing what they are being held for, when they could easily be innocent, whatever happened to the age old phrase of innocent untill proven guilty? Furthermore the New Police and Justice Bill means that the police can use electronic tags on potentially innocent suspects without being referred to a judge!

To top things off, Labour wants to introduce ID cards, and so have everybodys details including DNA on a national register. Despite the Lib Dems, and Conservative parties both being against the move, saying that it wont help reduce crime as well as being a very expensive project, Labour are still keen to force it through! It has been said that police have been storing up people's DNA records who may not even have been convicted of an offence!

This is just the tip of the iceberg, look around you, do you generally believe that you live in a free society with all the civil liberties you'd expect! Slowly but surely, we are being tied up and imprisoned by this government!

Emigration suddenly seems somewhat tempting!
