Before very long David Cameron is going to become my big brother and he's going to become your big brother too.
How's that possible you may be thinking. Well according to Cameron Britain is too “passively tolerant” and should not leave people to live their lives as they please just because they obey the law. Cue the introduction of the 'Thought Police'.
No kidding! The draconian package of powers first proposed last spring would allow courts to force a person to send their tweets and Facebook posts to the police for approval. So the final arbiter of what's acceptable would be the proverbial filth. And the same would apply to this blog I suppose.
Theresa May went on to outline the bigger strategy behind the introduction of the 'Thought Police' which she said involves actually promoting British values, the values of democracy, rule of law, tolerance and acceptance of different faiths.
Now when Cameron introduces a better democratic system than the existing first past the post nonsense in order the people get a truly representative government and not one that nearly four fifths of voters have rejected then I might start to take the man seriously.
In the meantime can I recommend a move to Scotland.
