It's now official. We really do live in a Police State.

Last week seven armed police officers from the anti terrorist squad arrested Conservative MP Damian Green and held him in custody for nine hours. His crime? He embarrassed the government by leaking details of them issuing licenses to become security guards to 5000 illegal immigrants. In other words he did the job we pay him to do and made facts that the government tried to cover up public. And this arrest was made with the full backing of the government who still cannot see what all the fuss is about.

Even if telling the truth about government incompetence is now a crime why were the anti terrorist squad involved? How can embarassing the government by exposing facts they tried to hide be considered a threat to national security? Because that is the only time the anti terrorist squad and anti terrorism laws are supposed to be used. And if this can happen to an elected member of parliament then what chance do the rest of us have?

Councils all over the country already use anti terrorism laws to bug peoples dustbins and make sure they are obeying local recycling rules. The DVLA already sell all your details to debt collectors and anybody else with the cash to buy them. Very soon a law is being passed allowing these same people to monitor all our phone calls and e-mails. They won't need permission or any reason to do so, just critiscizing the local council will be enough reason for them to tap your phone.

How long will it be before websites like this that dare question the motives and honesty of the bunch of lying theieving con men running this country start to get closed down? How long before speaking out against the government becomes a criminal offence?

This government has the cheek to condemn the BNP as Nazi's and accuses the Conservatives of being fascist yet every day under Labour we lose more of our personal freedom and it is now persecuting people just for embarassing them. This wrongful, shameful arrest was an official decleration that we are now a Police State.

How does any Labour voter sleep at night?
