What do you knowabout tyranny / the police state in the UK?

[Tibbs735]

I would be interested to know If anyone knows more about civil liberties abuse, or the growth of the police state in the UK. I say this because much to my chagrin I seem to know more about US politics than I do about UK politics.

This in turn makes it hard to discuss things related to prepping with my family, as they have said that they think that it will be different to an American scenario, or when I discuss something else related to prepping, they ask if its from an American site, and roll their eyes as if American wisdom or guides are somehow irrelevant to the UK.

Are there any sites or specific things that keep a track of the state of the UK? The only things I can currently think of is the media relating to the "Snoopers Charter," this site, and the people at UK Column.

The New Statesman mag very often has articles about the erosion of civil liberties and rights in the UK, as to the civil rights lobby group LIBERTY. often you see British articles on the ATS ( Above Top Secret) web site are forums.

I try to keep a particulr close eye of the Labour party as it keeps trying to introduce laws under the BS of fighting terrorism such as their proposal for arresting people and holding them in prison without charge or legal representation for 90 days without going to court. Other of its ministers wanted to make it a criminal offence for objecting to mass immigration or multi culturalism. Then you see their underhand tactics like stopping people fostering because they are members of UKIP !!!. The EU recently tabled a proposal to make it an offence to criticise or complain about the EU itself.

I used to get very alarmed about proposals over the recording and monitoring of all telecommnications such as e mails, Texts etc as i thought that a threat to preppers, but now I'm starting to operate more and more away from forums and doing more face to face I'm not so worried as I was.

I know there are huge issues with the guy, and I do mean HUGE ISSUES, but when he started off he was pretty good and actually posted genuinely useful information.

Yes, the guy has gone off on one, Illuminati (not for or against that idea, just saying it's a large part of his current stuff), reptilian civilisation running the monarchy, aliens, and those kinds of things. But he did start off covering the legal side of UK Liberties being taken away. He wrote a book, can't think of the name of it, but it's small and black and outlines loads of legal issues!!!

Looks like you are looking at the wrong sites then. Try looking at UK sites.

nourishingobscurity.com - Lots of different things
http://thylacosmilus.blogspot.co.uk/ - Local news with an interesting reporting style
http://www.4liberty.org.uk/ - Liberarian Blog

Go to these sites and then jump to the links to other sites from there. Some great sites on there and all UK based.

Have a look at theantiterrorist vids on youtube concerning the police.
