Wrong, wrong, wrong

Gordon Brown still burbling on to no clear purpose…

…we have given people new rights to protest outside Parliament…

No, no, no, no, NO! You merely gave us back the rights you took away in the first place, jackass. You flicked the switch back on you’d previously turned off yourself.

Don’t try and make out it was some magnanimous, generous, unprompted gesture. You gave us back the old rights, after everyone protested and said what authoritarian idiots your government were over it all. You didn’t create new ones, oh wannabe Father of the Nation.

    Classic politik there by Mr. Brown, take it away and then make a song and dance about giving it back; if it wasn’t my rights I’d be quite impressed…

    You mean they said they’d give it back… They haven’t yet said when or how it’ll happen

    I did a key word count…

    ‘new’ (5o mentions), ‘modern’ (14 mentions), ‘changed/ changing’ (19 mentions), world - which is full of ‘terrorists’ ( 22 mentions) and ‘terrorism’
    (10 mentions) and ‘crime’ (18 mentions) and ‘criminals’ (10 mentions)

    Shame in this new, modern, changed, changing world of securing our liberty through security they can’t even keep confidential data safe,

    The quotes I took from the same speech and put on my blog might raise your blood pressure a little bit higher. You have been warned.

    Justin: “and said what authoritarian idiots your government were over it all”

    Err, no Gordon didn’t. He didn’t apologise in any way.

    And is this a bill or a law? And when does it come into act?
