Parliament is no longer a Parliament of the People. It is now merely a tool of the Labour Party.

In the build up to a complete takeover of Government and the merger of Party, Government and State, the government have isolated Parliament from the People.

Spyblog has the details. More pictures on Parliament Protest.

Gone is your right to protest, and now your right to see your MP at Westminster has gone, along with your right to see parliament at work, to sit in the visitors gallery or the right to sit in the strangers gallery. Along with the Freedom of Information Act amendments passed by the Commons last week, this government can do what it likes and you have lost your right to know.

This WAS your Parliament, now your excluded from it.

I wrote about this in January, but as none of the questions I asked then have been answered, I am now predicting that by the end of this month, or very close to it, Britain will be a declared Totalitarian  State.

The best analagy of the kind of Totalitarian State being built in Britain that I have seen so far comes from Samizdata, where Perry de Havilland observes:

When someone uses the term 'totalitarian', we think of Stalin's
Soviet Union or Hitler's Germany or Pol Pot's Cambodia or Mao's China.
Those were indisputably totalitarian states. We think of gulags and
killing fields. We think of secret police and surveillance.

Yet I would argue that all those things can just as satisfactorily
described as 'tyranny' of whatever political completion. The thing that
makes as place totalitarian is not the nastiness of it or even the
repressiveness of it, but the totality of state control. The real defining characteristic of totalitarian seems obvious from the word itself.

And what is a total state? It is a state in which there is no civil
society, just politically derived rules by which people may interact.
And I would argue the key to that is removing the right to free association and by declaring private property to be 'public'.

Britain has no gulags, no killing fields, it has a relatively free
press (though less so than it was), it has no internal passports
(though they are working on that with ID cards and panoptic
surveillance)… but every year we take more and more steps towards the
destruction of a voluntary civil society of free interaction and its
replacement with a state in which no aspect of life is not politically
regulated.

We are headed for a different kind of totalitarianism than that of
Stalin or Hitler or Mao, but a total state really is what a great many
people have in mind for us all. They seek a sort of 'smiley face
fascism' in which all interactions are regulated in the name of
preventing sexism, promoting health, and defending the environment. The
excuses will not invoke the Glory of the Nation or the Proletariat or
the Volk or the King or the Flag or any of those old fashioned tools
for tyrants, but rather it will be “for our own good”, “for the
Planet”, “for the whales”, “for the children”, “for the disabled” or
“for equality”.

But if they get their way it will be quite, quite totalitarian.
