The Libertarian Party UK is pleased to see that contained within part 1 of the Draft Constitutional Bill are plans to repeal sections 123 to 138 of the Serious Organised Crime Act 2005; namely, those affecting freedom of speech and freedom of assembly around Parliament Square.
Part 6 however, gives grave cause for concern, in that it allows for ministers to amend, repeal or revoke any provision by or an Act. The Libertarian Party UK is appalled that the government should seek to bypass parliament again following amendments that were built into the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 that raised similar concerns.
Head of Communications, Chris Mounsey, said, "Part 6 opens the door to rule by Ministerial fiat. If MPs vote this Bill through, they will be voting for the abolition of what little power they have left.
"Truly, Parliament will become nothing more than a talking shop, whilst ministers will sign off legislation without having to consult or debate with anyone.
"This Bill will transform the UK from a democracy to a dictatorship."

Eco city? More like fascist crap-hole!
State propaganda channel
This is what happens when you let a Commie/hippy alliance run your country. A disgusting fascism that persecutes motorists, while blowing millions on pounds of taxpayers money on utter shite like this.
Would you want to live in this miserable hellhole? I say the first residents should be the MPs themselves and they should pay for it.
Vehicles driving on roads in planned eco-towns will have to stick to 15mph speed limits, it has emerged.
The restriction is among proposals designed to minimise the environmental impact of the settlements.
Government sources say the new town centres are to be car-free, and the 15mph limit will be enforced on "key roads" leading into them.

The war on smokers/freedom continues
Biased News
How much more of this fascist bullshit are we going to tolerate? Smokers have been treated like lepers for some time now, but the beatings just keep on coming. Drink looks like the next target, just after they have finished kicking the motorist.
Hitler didn't persecute the smoker as much as the control freaks we have in government now.
I don't smoke, but I feel like starting now! It's coming to a point where some direct action is going to be required!
Displaying cigarettes in shops could be banned under government plans being considered in a bid to reduce smoking and discourage children from starting.
Ministers are also considering tougher controls on vending machines in pubs and restaurants.

Big Brother arrives at Terminal 5
Fingerprints Row
So it continues. Everyone who goes the the States, now has to submit their personal biometrics, or be denied entry. If you don't submit like a common thief, then you are denied entry. They started out with just one finger, but now have gone over to the full set.
Now our own country is going (being led) down the same route. Some will argue that it is up to the company whether they do this, but I am not one of them. There is hardly a raft of competing airports to choose from. BA is in a VERY privileged position to have exclusive use of Terminal 5. Therefore I see it as an extreme abuse of its monopoly position to demand this information.
People realise how little trust I have in big government. Well, from bitter experience, I don't have much trust in big corporations either. Indeed, I fully expect that big government and big corporations merge at some points, which is the original definition of fascism.
Sorry, but I don't accept that the government haven't had a MAJOR influence on this policy being put in place. I also don't believe in virtual monopolies being allowed to have this much power. More power than any democracy should be allowed to have.
For starters I will be canceling my BA frequent flyer account and will never fly BA again. That's great for now, but I think we are just slipping down the slope of a police state all the time. Yes I will probably be heavily inconvenienced with my work now, but it is all I can do.
My big fear is this is just the start. I fully expect this to be hailed as some sort of success and while it is in its initial phase, it will be made convenient for people. Once the sheep backing has been bought, then it will be rolled out across the other airports. Just as the government have been wanting for some time.
Wake up Britain. If you wondered how people like Hitler slipped into such total control, this should be ringing an alarm bell with you by now.
The Information Commissioner is to investigate plans to fingerprint passengers at Heathrow's new Terminal 5.
Under the plans passengers' prints would be checked at the gate to ensure the person who checked in is the same person who boards the plane.
But airport operator BAA has been warned the security measures may be a breach of the Data Protection Act.

Finally I get to use a service I pay through the nose for!
I was fortunate enough to have a nice holiday in Barbados in January, courtesy of my father-in-law, who had just turned 60.
I had a great time, but near the end of the holiday, I had a swim in the sea and got some water in my ears. Now normally it clears out after a while, but for some reason, I am still getting the feeling of trapped water. Worse than that, I started getting muffled hearing during the weak, while I was teaching a class.
So I decided I would go and use the NHS walk in centre, to see if they could give my ears a quick check. I wish I hadn't bothered.
1) Like most hospitals now, I had to pay to park there. The joys of paying immense taxation, only to be charged again when you get there can't not be described in words.
2) Saturday morning seemed to be a bad time to go. Because work gets in the way for a number of us still and the GPs no longer bother to open on Saturday, there was a room full of people ahead of me. Times that joy of having to pay by two, as I had to wait there 2.5 hours and pay more for the parking.
3) While waiting with all the other happy punters, I looked at the materials on the walls. Huge amounts of offers of help and groups, for anyone other than someone like me. I think if you are a British, white male, who actually works, you are seen as full on scum by our government and their dependents. I find this strange, seeing people like me heavily bankroll this "wonderful" service.
4) It could have been worse, I could have been a smoker. Smokers have the joy at seeing signs all over the place telling them how evil they are. To add insult to the injury of having to wait 2 hours, is the fact that not only is smoking banned inside (fair enough), but that you aren't even allowed to smoke withing the grounds. Truly you have been deemed a subclass of species, who deserve no pity.
5) Finally my 2.5 hours were up and I get to see a nurse. A grumpy nurse, whose face would shatter if she tried to smile. "Hi" I said, to be greeted with not even a grunt. You can tell when someone really doesn't give a fuck what the customer thinks, when they know they are getting paid no matter what.
6)She pulled out the ear scope thing and looked in the ear that was giving me the most grief. Oh yes, there is some crud in there. I was almost relieved, as that sounded fixable to me. Then she checked the other ear and declared it perfect. Then she said that when she said crud, she meant a little bit of something, but not wax and that it shouldn't be causing me any problems. "Well it is" I said, "I don't make a habit of coming to such pleasant establishments unless I have to".
Well you had better make and appointment with a doctor then.
Magic. What a total waste of time, effort and money (on my behalf). I have to wonder if I could choose the service provider myself, whether the "service" might be just that little bit better. I think it couldn't be any worse.

Stop voting establishment!
I have been paying a small amount of attention to the London Mayor election so far. Intentionally, I have decided to put myself back into the world of the average Joe. You know, the person who is too busy to care about politics. Or just someone who doesn't give a toss most of the time
I have tried to put myself in the position of the person who NORMALLY can't be bothered to think about political issues, but come the election, decides they should vote out of duty.
Therefore, I tried to ignore the internet for my Mayor news and rely on the MSM. Now I refuse to buy "News"papers these days. However, I watch the T.V. news channels and have picked up papers on trains etc, when I have had a chance.
Is it any wonder that we get what we do? 14 candidates are running for Mayor, yet you wouldn't think so if you stuck with the MSM. According to the MSM, there is only really three choices. Red Ken, Boris or the strange policeman from the Lib Dem's.
Now, the Lib Dem guy is being painted as an out and out no hoper and thus we are all being encouraged to see this as a "two horse race". Now this isn't an election to elect a party, but a single position for Mayor of London. Therefore, you would have thought that a real effort to look at ALL the candidates running would be made. After all, there are many GOOD people who don't want anything to do with the LibLabCon.
This is the problem we have in this country and many others that pretend to be a democracy. It really isn't a democracy at all, at least not a fair and functioning one. As long as the MSM continue to push the line that you only have a few carefully selected establishment choices, this is likely to be a self fulfilling prophecy.
While "others" have been growing of late, with the chunk of public who don't rely on the MSM and think for themselves, increasing switch off from the establishment parties, we still have a long way to go. The internet has opened many peoples eyes to many different views and opinions that simply were not given the light of day before. No longer is there the excuse of being "kept in the dark", as more and more people can now search out information quickly, without having to rely on their one favorite newspaper.
I see some worrying signs though. Signs that I see time and time again and fully understand, because I feel the lure of it too. What I am talking about, is the urge to get the incumbent out, by following the herd and voting for the other establishment choice. Boris was a smart move by the Establishment, because sometimes he comes across as a little anti-establishment himself. The fact he is in team blue and isn't Red Ken is a very strong draw, even to someone like me.
Hold back though for one minute. Exactly what has Boris done to deserve his anti-establishment tag? He hasn't rebelled against any of the traitor hand overs of power. He hasn't been a loud advocate for much lower taxes. He didn't actually make any effort to oppose the war on Iraq. In fact, he is a useful tool in the establishments armory. Why do you think he even got the gig in the first place? This guy is establishment to the core.
So when you decide that you might vote for Boris and give him the benefit of the doubt, remember that all you are doing is voting for the less of two evils. That means you get evil anyway, just in a more slow and painful manner.
Until this country wakes up and stops voting for ANY of the EU loving wings of the establishment, we will continue the slide into tyranny. We will be taxed even more, we will loose even more freedoms. Our children will have and even bigger task of becoming free on their hands.
I have come to the realisation that I have never tasted true freedom. I was born into a rigged system, where my wealth and freedoms are taken away in small, but ever accumulating slices. We as a people have to decide whether we are going to continue to allow this, or shun the operators of the machine once and for all.
Thus for this election or any further elections, I URGE you not to vote for any of the old guard. If you do, then you are voting for more of the same. I would suggest there are exceptions to this rule, but they are very few in number. Look at the character you think might be different and if they have actions to back up their words, THEN you may want to consider keeping them on the inside. The only people I can think of are the members of BOO (Better Off Out). Also, I would be tempted to vote Bill Cash in his area, because of his clearly good efforts. Why he won't join BOO, I have no idea though.
