1) No, we don't want hard-working people. The British Prime Minister David Cameron admits that Eastern Europeans work harder and more diligently than the British - which is why he wants to stop them from coming to Britain and stop British employers from employing them! Never mind that this harms the economy, punishes hard-working people, and rewards lazy incompetents solely because they have the "right" nationality.
2) More ISP's blocked. ISP's are forced by the court to block UK access to 21 more websites. The excessive copyright rules are used to justify this new assault on individual liberties.
3) Press freedom under threat. David Cameron wants to destroy UK press freedom in order to cover up the nefarious dealings of the UK and US governments. It would be "very
difficult" not to take action against newspapers that continue to
publish "damaging" security leaks, David Cameron has said. This comes after the British secret service physically forced The Guardian newspaper to destroy a hard disk with "confidential" information on it. Luckily, The Guardian had the information saved elsewhere, too.
4) More petty and intrusive EU regulation. The EU now wants to regulate the flushing of lavatories in all EU countries. No, I am not joking.
5) Landlords forced to report "illegal" immigrants. UK landlords such as myself will, from 2014, be forced to check the immigration status of their tenants. In other words, I will now be forced to do the governments dirty work for them and report innocent people who happen to have the "wrong" passport.
6) Government regulation of every detail within the four walls of your home. Although this is not a recent law, I have been shocked to find out over the past week that I am not allowed to install the windows that I see fit in MY OWN house - which, incidentally, is freehold property. There are a slew of petty rules about airing slots, insulation quality, and glass breakability that apply. Until a few years ago I would even had had to apply to the Council for permission to install new windows! But it seems that the British public has been brainwashed by the insane UK planning laws and nowadays consider it a natural right to meddle with other people's property. And if the public doesn't do it themselves by objecting to requests for planning permission, they are more than happy to let the government and local councils do the meddling for them. So much for the good old English proverb "My home is my castle"!
All these calamities in less than a week. Is the destruction of personal liberty gathering pace? It certainly seems like it these days.
