1984 here we come

A Tribunal called the Investigatory Powers Tribunal has ruled that it is perfectly OK for GCHQ, the government's spy headquarters, to intercept emails and tap into phones and listen to calls from our MPs and their constituents. This ruling covers MPs, MEPs, MSPs, members of the House of Lords and the London Assembly. Now I want you to think about this.

The British government, and particularly its civil servants, are claiming that they have rights that supersede the rights of the elected members of our various decision-making forums. In the case of GCHQ and the civil servants who guide their surveillance, these people are the employees of the British Parliament and therefore their salaries, expenses, pensions etc. are paid for out of general taxation. We are in a situation whereby, not only the government, but the civil service is completely out of the control of Parliament and are therefore completely unaccountable. Now, I have told you before, people take issue with me when I warn you that Britain is sliding into a totalitarian fascist type society, well, I ask any of these critics to explain to me what such a situation means to them in the context of the nature and structure of a political society? Not even the most right-wing imbecilic Tory could surely claim that this even approximates to democracy?

In other words, supposing you found something out that you felt you needed to consult your MP about that concerned any part of the government. Should you phone them, email them or meet them in a park or a pub somewhere because you are unsure if they are being spied on or if their office is bugged? This is modern Britain, but we are getting into situations that we used to see in the movies with respect to pre-war Germany or the Soviet Union. Remember I have told you several times, government do not have rights, only people have rights. Governments have authority and responsibility, both of which relate directly to the rights of the people who elect them. In addition, this is a political system that has systematically covered up elite criminality, fraud, deception, child abuse and who knows what else. Westminster is the most criminal and corrupt institution in this country.

David Cameron and every one of his government were elected on exactly the same basis as everyone else in Parliament. A government minister's vote is no more valuable, nor carries any more weight or authority than any other. Neither he nor any member of his government, and certainly no civil servant has the right nor authority to demand access to any other person's phone nor email unless they can provide a definite burden of proof that such access is necessary for whatever reason. On the same day that this became public, it was revealed that the Scottish civil service, under the direction of their Tory masters, are relaying private correspondence between Scottish government ministers and foreign dignitaries, in other words, Westminster thinks it is perfectly permissible to spy on the elected Scottish government and its politicians. If this is happening to perfectly respectable members of the British establishment, what do you think they are doing to you? The sooner Scotland becomes independent the better, 1984 is just around the corner. You have been warned
