Arrow 1984 critics bullied by New Labour Ministers

It is unfortunate that, on an issue where the civil liberties concerns are so serious, the government should have chosen to adopt a bullying approach to critics

Unfortunate perhaps, but no surprise to those of us that understand this Government's intentions. Expect ever increasing amounts bullying and intimidation for all of us as New Labour's Stalinist Superstate takes shape.

Time was when research and comment from the LSE was welcomed by the Labour Party. New Labour, of course, is a different animal.
Although not strictly true, that institution has been thought of as "to the left".
I would rather believe academic research than Government "spin", in this instance.
Yes I think there is something fundamentally anti democratic about NL that wasn't present in the Labour Party.
Which is why I believe libertarians, whether left or right, should fight this evil proposal.

Home Secretary Charles Clarke said the study was "technically incompetent".
A team of experts producing a report over a 6 month period or a baldy big-eared yes-man. Clarke is satan incarnat. The bast.ard love child of Tony Blair and David Blunket. An idiotic incompotent feckwit with less grip on the real world than contestants of big brother.

Hello. This is Charles Clarke. I have been misquoted: I think you'll find I said that it in fact is me who is "technically incompetent." I also have a potato-head, size 20 shoes, a flower in my lapel that squirts water plus my ministerial car is bright yellow, has square wheels and a squeezy bulb horn.

I am watching you all through my biometric, ego-guided controlfreak-ometer. You, Uncle Buck: I know you. You are a large American who likes cigars and wears a pork pie hat: Macaulay Culkin is your nephew, your car backfires everytime you start it up and you laugh at people with facial warts.
