If you put security before liberty you will get neither...


Recommended Posts

...was a great quote I read in the Guardian a couple of days ago (I will look up who came up with it), and is very pertinent in view of the governments increasingly authoritarian nature. As a natural Labour supporter I have found it a painful experience to see just how much they desire to control the headspace of the citizenry, and as for the party of 'freedom' as they will no doubt pitch themselves, I will never be able to afford their conception of freedom. So bollocks, its time to emerge as a left-libertarian who may well never vote Labour again, and to protest any further erosion of our civil liberties, as well as calling to get some new ones. No more removal of rights in the name of protection.

Yes, there is no real point to this post, Life is dull when there is a point to everything.
