MODERATORS
Oh yeah, because authoritarianism doesn't give large chunks of the labour party massive hard ons too.
If they'd had their way all our biometrics would be on a database and we'd have to have our id cards with us at all times.
Yes, that's true. Recently though, the ones responsible have been Tories. But I agree. There's a general tendency in the governing culture of the UK to override basic rights in the name of expediency or convenience for the government.
Oh absolutely. I just think that there's a danger that people will think if the Tories are out of power all of these kinds of proposals will just disappear.
