THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION
It seems the political classes everywhere are intent on installing Big Brother states. The EU are busy at it, while our press and local politicians keep quiet about it. So too in North America, where the politicos of Canada, Mexico and the United States continue to plan their equivalent of the EU - the North American Union.
Somehow I can't see too many Americans being happy about abolishing the borders with Mexico and having their tax dollars spent on improving Mexican infrastructure. Nor can I see many Canadians accepting the abolition of social healthcare and the handing over of military power and decision-making to the US. As in Europe, this is all going on without full disclosure to the people (because if they knew, they'd kick it out). Unlike here in Europe, however, I can see how it may result in civil disobedience and violence. And I know which side of the barricades I'd be on.
THE STIFLING LAYERS OF GOVERNMENT
An illuminating description of the layers of government we now live beneath. Totally agree with reducing the numbers of politicians and also believe we should limit their abilities to do anything.
THE 'COST' OF IDENTITY FRAUD
UKLiberty on the government's dodgy figures about the cost of identity fraud.
BRITAIN BACKPEDALS ON ANTI-TERRORIST LAW AGAINST ICELAND BANK
Having invoked a supposedly anti-terrorist law to sequester the assets of Iceland's bank, the British government is now frantically backpedalling. Presumably because it realises, a bit late, that this was not a smart move. Not smart in terms of relations with a friendly country. And not smart in showing up that its 'anti-terrorist' legislation is nothing of the sort. Just like a lot of its other 'anti-terrorist' laws.
