LIARS!

When Nick Clegg and David Cameron came into power, they promised they would end “the storage of internet and email regulations and email records without good reason”.

This is one of the reasons that I cheered loudly when they beat Labour in the election - their promises to restore the country to the people and to stop the state intruding into our private lives.

Now I am reading stories announcing that they intend to pass a bill to "....preserve the ability of the security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies to obtain communication data and to intercept communications within the appropriate legal framework."

This doesn't specify what exactly will be done but it is widely expected to require every communications service provider to retain records of every web page you visit, every email you send, basically a log of everything you do online!

I thought we had seen the turn around of the police state, now it looks like we were lied to through the teeth of the smarmy faced politicians who asked us to vote for them.

Is this down to the will of the REAL rulers of this country? The people pulling the strings behind the scenes at the European parliament who have supremacy over our own elected politicians!

Cameron and Clegg - Do you have the balls to stand up and represent this country? or are you going to quietly become the puppets of our european overlords?

Constable Teacher Sir

And so the Jackboots march!

I had been looking forward to a quiet time with Tory/libdem promises to roll back state intrusion, I foolishly believed that we were entering a period when the politicians had recognised that government had exploded out of control during the Labour years.

Today I read of the government plans to give head teachers the power to discipline students "anytime, any place, any where"

The politicians still haven't remembered that PARENTS are responsible for their children and teachers only have the authority of the parents to discipline students during times that the parents have delegated that responsibility such as during school hours or school events.

This government is continuing along the path of the previous incumbents, trying to establish the state as parent of first resort!

I choose to state that I am responsible for my children until they reach the age of maturity and can take responsibility for themselves. Until then the state ONLY has the responsibility and authority to step in if I am failing my responsibility so badly that my children are at risk of harm.

Get on with the job of running this country for the good of the population and GET OUT of my private life and the private lives of my children! You've already trashed the country; you WILL NOT trash the lives of my children.
