Paxo Monsters Moronic Minister

Paxman sticks it to the bitch (Harman) about the Speaker's response to the Green affair. Imagine what it would be like if all our tv interviewers were as persistent as this. And what's going to happen when Paxman and Humphrys are gone?

The European Court of Human Rights rules against collection of DNA of innocent people. Jackboot Jacqui says "Damn! How am I going to get round this one?"

More frantic scrambling to turn Britain into a police state. What's bizarre, however, is this:

Thomas Hammarberg, the Council of Europe's commissioner for human rights, said he believed Britain had gone too far in helping to bring about a "surveillance society". In a report drawing on personal data infringements across Europe but "inspired" by Britain's plan for a new internet, email and telephone database, he added: "General surveillance raises serious democratic problems which are not answered by the repeated assertion that those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear. This puts the onus in the wrong place: it should be for states to justify the interferences they seek to make on privacy rights."

Is Mr Hammarberg not aware that the plan for the internet, email and telephone database is actually an EU directive rather than a British idea? Although one accepted with alacrity by the fascists in power.

Meanwhile back at EU Empire HQ: rumours that the EU's anti-fraud office is fraudulent. That makes sense.
