The impact of new laws aimed at preventing terrorism on the civil liberties of ordinary citizens is a topic of hot debate, and has been since 9/11. For an astonishing insight into just how far-reaching (and unnoticed) this impact has been in the UK, check out this article by Vanity Fair editor Henry Porter, reproduced in The Independent. Porter describes what he sees as Tony Blair’s legacy:
Blair, that youthful baby-boomer who came to power nine years ago as the embodiment of democratic liberalism as well as the new spirit of optimism in Britain, turns out to have an authoritarian streak that respects neither those rights nor, it seems, the independence of the elected representatives in Parliament. And what is remarkable – in fact almost a historic phenomenon – is the harm his government has done to the unwritten British constitution in those nine years, without anyone really noticing, without the press objecting or the public mounting mass protests.
It’s fascinating, and scary stuff.

Really, this shouldn’t surprise anyone – Blair is an advocate of the ‘third way’, a.k.a. fascism.
If he’d come to power on an openly fascist platform, would anyone bat an eyelid as he began to shred the traditional freedoms Britons enjoyed?

did you know that “Tony Blair MP” is an anagram of “I’m Tory Plan B”?

Genuinely scary. The most frightening bit being the complacency with which British people have responded to attacks on their rights. State control seems to be accepted as normal by a frighteningly large part of the population.

..though if you look at animal rights sites (such as shac.net or speakcampaigns.org.uk) you will find there is at least one sub culture within the UK that has not been complacent, and continues to challenge the state.
There has been some debate on UK indymedia that the reason why Blair is clamping down so hard on animal rights protests is not because he particularly cares about vivisection one way or the other, but because he is scared the anti war movement (which is much bigger than the animal rights movement) may adopt the same tactics. And that would be a real worry!

Tony Blair is notably a High Ranking Freemason, a mid level Illuminati, and a puppet of them. His wishes are nothing more, nothing less that that of a huge secret society of masonry in the UK. Masonic Lodges are everywhere in the UK and they used to parade their worship on the streets of London in the old days. Worship has its many members in the Vatican, notably the Previous pope, and it is estimated at least 1 out of 6 police are masons. Why are Bush and Blair buddies? because Bush is a 322, lower order “Skull and Bones” as is his Father and cousin John Kerry. Bush has stupidly admitted his 322 secret society status on TV. These guys have congregated at the famous Boheimian Grove to worship Molock the owl god, (google it in) its real.
The Illuminati is all about control of the populations and pagan worship and is in all high levels of power. The illuminati has has leaked directive to, mass vacinate the worlds population, inflict disasterous wars on man, introduce damaging virus technologies, gene warfare, elimination of 80% of the worlds population (look at death scares and trends) regrowth after “apocolypse introducing life extension technologies (already identified gene for this) This is a travesty and the UK is the role model for the New World Order (one world Govt) we already have the World Bank, the corrupt One World watchdog UN, Biometric scanning technology is being implemented everywhere, RFID are already in OUR passpoerts and is being introduced in the UK US, 2.5 million cameras are already seveiling the UK, and the False Flag Terror Plots are the way these laws are being rammed in to law. The war on terror is a joke and 80% of UK public believe the Terror Dramas are perpertrated by their OWN GOVT. We are turning into a polive state. Watch Terrorstorm at Google and get up to speed.

Once again we disagree, while i detest Blair’s politics I fully agree with the man re immigration and the war on terror.
It worries me that so many here seem happy to forgive all sins perpetuated in the name of Islam yet leap all over a man who is only trying to keep HIS country safe.
