THIS, more than anything else, is why I HATE this Labour government

Tim Worstall:

The government can charge you with something….oooooh, let’s say something nice and complex like VAT fraud…..and when found not guilty you’re still bankrupted by your legal costs.

They seem to have been copying the worst parts of the worst legal systems over the years: your assets can and will be confiscated if you’re found not guilty, your assets can and sometimes are frozen so that you cannot pay for your own defence and now this.

There was something which we’d largely got right. Took us near a thousand years to do so with a number of revolutions, civil wars, bloody rebellions and all, but we got there. You couldn’t be tried twice for the same crime, we thought it far worse to imprison the innocent than to let some guilty go free, you had a right to a fair trial and so on….presumption of innocence, see the evidence against you, no punishment without trial and so rumpety pumpety on. Now the major building blocks of that system of civil liberties seem to have been destroyed in only 12 short years.

There’s only one word for it I’m afraid.

Cunts.

Yes.

And why isn't this all over the front page of the Sun, the Mirror, the Mail, the Guardian... the lot of them?

Why aren't the citizenry besieging Westminster in their millions, pitchforks in hand?

Because this fucking 'government' has so brainwashed the media that they haven't even noticed the things which really matter and so they haven't told anyone.

As well as destroying our economy, the traitorous, fascistic fucking Labour Party has dismantled and destroyed the very foundations of British constitutional democracy.

AND NOBODY HAS EVEN FUCKING NOTICED?

WHEN DOES THE REVOLUTION START, DAVE? Dave? Hello?
