In a free society, the rights and laws protect the individual from the government.

In a dictatorship, the rights and laws protect the government from the people.
 

In 1940 this country stood alone against an evil totalitarian regime that had spread across Europe. 

The UK Government at the time along with the opposition were weak and feeble, and tried to appease the malevolence of the Third Reich, that ultimately lead to a war that killed millions. 

The House of Commons collectively had decided that peaceful acceptance of the subjugation of Europe, and that to cow-tow to the criminal actions of Hitler was the right thing to do, because to do nothing was an easier option. 

All except 1 man, who stood up and led the fight for the freedoms and rights that we have all enjoyed and unfortunately taken for granted since the end of the war.

Today, it is our OWN government who are devising ways to subjugate the population of this country, and we are seeing a weakness in our MP’s again, who are letting our leaders take our nation down a road that the population does not want to travel. 

WHERE IS THE OPPOSITION in the Commons.  On our behalf you are supposed to oppose the laws that are being devised in our name, which are being used to turn us all into suspects. You are supposed to protect our individual rights and collective freedoms.

Where is the Press.  The Press who have always been the champions of our freedoms and rights, why are you so silent now. 

One of the reasons that we write, read and teach history is so that, as people, both Government and Citizen we don’t make the same mistakes twice.  We know what happened in Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia and the Soviet Bloc. Please don’t let it happen here.

MP’s, you have already signed away most of the checks and balances required of a democracy. 

Where are the MP’s that are supposed to act on behalf of the people, for the people. Why wont you stand up.

MP’s, why have you given my rights away, why are you letting more of my rights disappear every day. 

And when will you realise that you are also signing away your own rights. With only a few more bits of legislation of the kind passed since 9/11, this government wont require MP’s any more, because its already given most of your powers to Ministers.

When you are sitting in the internment camps along with the others that Sir Ian Blair is thinking of rounding up, its going to be too late.  For all of us.
