The news came as ministers backtracked on plans to scrap existing up to 1,400 powers of entry without a warrant and said they would wait until a fresh Home Office review has finished in 2014.</i> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9155659/New-powers-of-entry-into-private-homes-created-by-Coalition.html<br /><br />Trial by jury? But sometimes the criminals might be scary, and that would put off jurors:<br /><i>First trial without jury approved. The new trial will be the first Crown Court case in England and Wales to be heard by a judge alone using powers under Sections 44 and 46 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which came into force in July 2007.</i> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8106590.stm<br /><br />No stop and search without reasonable suspicion? Well, perhapsy we can allow it in areas of special risk, like all of London:<br /><i>Under section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 any police officer could stop and search anyone or any vehicle that is in a specific area</i> https://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/human-rights/justice/stop-and-search/section-44/index.php<br /><br />This does not even include all of the prosecutions against people who freely expressed themselves on twitter or facebook in non-libellious, non-threatening, non-inciting speech that offended someone.<br /><br />I think it is safe to say that civil-rights are on-the-decline in the UK. The US seems to have trouble remembering its written constitution. The unwritten one is supposed to be protected by the House of Lords, but after having his legislation defeated in the House of Lords some 38 times in his first year in office, Tony Blair succeeded in kicking out most of its hereditary members and replacing them with political appointees.Douglas2https://www.blogger.com/profile/18142485990801143191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-65915973010467357132013-03-20T23:52:40.513-04:002013-03-20T23:52:40.513-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Douglas2https://www.blogger.com/profile/18142485990801143191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-17852766064892189772013-03-20T15:31:46.787-04:002013-03-20T15:31:46.787-04:00"So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous..."So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause."

Also according to your own legislation you can be killed by your own government for criticizing them without due process of the law.

In WW2 commanders like Montgomery were more cautious about sending troops into battle to be slaughtered without good cause or the right training and equipment. It's why he beat Rommel.

The endless procession of bubbles is ending, as the last asset to make bubbles out of, paper money itself, is inflating. <br /><br />After the confiscation of depositors money in Cyprus, the same thing is openly being talked about in Italy, New Zealand, and MSNBC. <br /><br />Could the whole world flip to communism/socialism?
