Meanwhile, in an authoritarian state near here...

I know. I am at the point where I would rather stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork than vote New Labour either. Lucky we have a 3rd option in the UK although a lot of people think it's a wasted vote.

I kind of feel like this is a watershed moment too, though. We have had the drip-drip-drip of erosion of liberties for so long now, and people keep saying "well, if you've done nothing wrong there's nothing to worry about" and allowing it to happen. I feel that this is the point where the masses, not just the chattering classes, are saying "Whoah! How the hell did that happen?"

Time to smell the coffee people. We let it happen.
