In a rather predictable move, the UK gets a public “terror warning system” just like the US. Though it wont be colour-coded, it will be manipulated for political gain and fearmongering by the powers that be just as in America and will accurately pinpoint false flag operations in an uncanny fashion.
A new public warning system [...]

Charity Sweet, a British anti-war activist, found herself being questioned under the SOCPA … ostensibly for prominently reading the Independent
It is apparently now suspicious to read a newspaper in Great Britain. That’s at least one conclusion drawn from the experience of an anti-Iraq war protester in London.
According to a London Independent story, Charity Sweet, [...]

Well, even though Americans ought to mind their own business and protect what little liberty they think they have, Gerard Alexander, visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute raises a couple of good points regarding the undermining of basic liberties in Europe as of late. Of course, I’d like to, in part, blame the US [...]

David Galbraith has dug out a pertinent fact from the Pew Center report on the Islam-West “rift.”
According to the results of this 14,000 person study about how much all of the various Abrahamic sects hate each other in various parts of the world, there is a little reported fact due to the focus on Muslim [...]

And the myth of the over-lenient judiciary. I was baffled the other day as I saw Tony Blair blasting the Tory party over allegedly being too soft on crime. “Voting soft in Parliament” as he put it. You know something has gone terribly wrong when a supposedly social democratic party is accusing conservatives of being [...]

Foreign states have made 519 requests since 2004 and all of the requests were granted! Just wait until Britain gets its new identity card register.
It emerged in January that 24,000 under-18s never cautioned, charged or convicted are on the database, which was established in 1995.

Conservative WorldNetDaily has jumped on the World Cup trafficking story. I think we can all agree that we don’t like the situation. But the WND doesn’t stop there. No, they find another angle in the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) condemning prostitution and noting that Germany shouldn’t “lecture America on morality.”

The European Court of Justice has ruled (C-317/04 / C-318/04) on the matter of passenger data transfer between the EU and the US. The Passenger Name Records (PNR) transfer agreement was not “founded on an appropriate legal basis” (Out-Law | EU Observer). A good move and another important win for the Parliament.

From cheerleading the Muslim Brotherhood to the American Enterprise Institute. So maybe that is not a major step in reality since both have been integral parts of America’s grand strategy. Inspirational flip-flopping frankly. I must say I am humbled by her hate-mongering and invective, no matter where she opportunistically stands for the moment, it eclipses [...]

As BBC reported last week, new European Commission Trade Regulation rules will soon outlaw David Lucas’s gallows sales. For ten years time, the Suffolk farmer has built and exported gallows to various nations including Zimbabwe (or so he claims). A questionable business practise sure, and a tad ghoulish. But it’s really the hypocrisy that strikes [...]
