LOOK WHAT LABOUR HAS STOLEN FROM YOU, AND THE LIES IT HAS TOLD YOU

.

THE RIGHTS THAT LABOUR HAS STOLEN FROM YOU. YOU HAD THESE AS PART OF YOUR BIRTHRIGHT WHEN YOU WERE BORN. NOW? ... ALL GONE

You can add the right to protection from Double-Jeopardy to that.

All gone.

And while we're here, lets take a look at Labour's 1997 promises, shall we?


We will increase the powers and responsibilities of parents.

We will promote personal prosperity for all
too much economic instability, with wild swings from boom to bust
The level of public spending is no longer the best measure of the effectiveness of government action in the public interest. It is what money is actually spent on that counts more than how much money is spent.
New Labour will be wise spenders, not big spenders
Save to invest is our approach, not tax and spend.
The promises we make we will keep.
To be fair and be seen to be fair.

New Labour is not about high taxes on ordinary families. It is about social justice and a fair deal.
We will ensure that - over the economic cycle - public debt as a proportion of national income is at a stable and prudent level.
Stop the growth of an 'underclass' in Britain
Every 16 and 17 year-old on the road to a proper qualification by the year 2000

We will be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime
We will tackle the unacceptable level of anti-social behaviour and crime on our streets


I can't do anymore without a valve bursting. Get stuck in to Labour's 1997 Manifesto, then we can start lynching the bastards. Print this off and stick it near the front door. If a Labour canvasser appears over the next few months(you may have to go out and find one), ram it up their arse.

Half-inched from here:


Plenty more of these lies to be found.

INTERNET UPRISING

.
The state of South Australia has a new election law that went into effect January 6, and its effect was shocking: anonymous political speech on the Internet was simply destroyed.

The law required anyone posting a political comment online during an election period to supply their real name and address or face a fine of up to AUS$1,250. The measure was grossly discriminatory—it applied only to bloggers and commenters, not to online "journals" (newspapers or magazine which are written by Real Journalists).

Politicians had apparently developed a thin skin to anonymous commentary, some of which no doubt did devolve into rank defamation, but Australia already has defamation laws that could be used against truly egregious material. Ending online anonymous speech was an extreme solution, one not appreciated by the targets of the law.

The law was backed by South Australia's Attorney General, Michael Atkinson. Atkinson took the radio yesterday to defend the new rule, saying that anonymity was being used by political opponents to attack him in secret.

Fornarino, the man who doesn't exist
"I'll give you an example: repeatedly in the AdelaideNow website one will see commentary from Aaron Fornarino of West Croydon. That person doesn't exist," Atkinson said on the air. "That name has been created by the Liberal Party in order to run Liberal Party commentary."

This morning, AdelaideNow took great delight in posting a picture of Fornarino posing with a Mac and his young daughter. He's a second-year law student who moved to the area last year and "lives in a flat on Port Rd, about 500m from Mr. Atkinson's electorate office."

The cries of the outraged citizenry have had an effect. While defending the new rules as recently as yesterday, Atkinson suddenly backed off from them today. He sent a statement to AdelaideNow, one remarkable for its candor.

"From the feedback we've received through AdelaideNow, the blogging generation believes that the law supported by all MPs and all political parties is unduly restrictive. I have listened. I will immediately after the election move to repeal the law retrospectively... It may be humiliating for me, but that's politics in a democracy and I'll take my lumps."


Please go and read it all:

So USE the internet. See, it CAN work.


Of course, that does require you to have democratically-minded politicians in the first place. Something New-Liebour, LibDims and the Cameroids all  lack.

PS As it happens I already use my real, legal, name. There are a few of you who have seen the proof of this in my passport.
