Does Britain Have a Totalitarian Future?

[belverron]

My friend is very opposed to this bill. The bill, as I understand it, is designed to take some of that pesky burden of legislating off the British Parliament. He thinks totalitarianism is lurking over Britain's horizon. Does anyone want to weigh in?

Numerous right, left, and center articles in U.K. papers denouncing this bill:

Everyone saw 'V for Vendetta', did they? :)

All I know is that whenever I used to see a movie with a great car chase, afterwards I'd get in my car and imagine myself as Bullit.

I say:
I think this is England stepping up to take part in their role in the New World Order.

Many will scoff or laugh (like Sonart), but the proof is in the pudding. Look at the similarities between reactions to 9-11 in U.S. and English law.

Global tyranny knows no national boundaries.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I really don't know enough about British domestic politics to really say one way or another. Then again, the Leebos around here see tyranny under every bed.

It's just that I saw 'V for Vendetta' the other day, so when I saw your post, I had this mental image of Brits rushing out of theatres all fired up to storm Parliament.... whether there was any reason for it or not.

Sorry about that... tired... long day.... {snork} :)

I am not usually affected by impersonal remarks like that Sonart. But jeers, just the same.

The Bill does offer a very good opportunity for some radical changes if we don't vote and become apathetic to our political process.

Britain at themoment is begining to look like a 51st state of america if we (the British) ally ourselves with china instead of America it would re balance world politics

BritishLeftWing Europe's nearer and in the main equaly socialists.
Mendleson is correct the march to create a mighty United EU should not be shunned, we must unit and embrace the neighbours whose blood runs through our veins.
Unless of course your Xenophobic and forget most of the Socialist doctrines come from our brothers and sister across the channel.

I agree but for a different reason. I think the steps both the U.S. and UK are taking have more to do planning for an upcoming economic apocalypse than NWO.

The whole world is on very shaky financial ground right now.
