This is getting depressing as well as frightening.
No doubt government officials will try to spin this away but you just know it's true:
Media could face reporting ban on security issues
As if the British media weren't already criminally negligent about reporting the destruction of our liberties.
Which is why I advise every young person and student I meet to leave the country as soon as they can. At the moment the only hope we have is that an incoming Tory government scraps the repressive legislation that the government has put in place or is planning - even if it's on cost grounds alone.
That's a pretty slim hope, given that all politicians are now cut from the same cloth and none of them cares to face up to the EU.

Why The Mirror Is A Shit Newspaper
Because like most British 'news'papers it either ignores or deliberately obscures the truth.
In this case, for instance: Tony Benn writing about post office closures without mentioning the EU elephant in the room (as covered in a previous post of mine); and Gordon Brown being portrayed as a hero 'warning off the moneylenders from repossessing homes'.
Odd, then, that he is now portrayed as being 'very concerned about financial firms demanding repossession orders to chase credit card debts.'
Under the laughable heading 'Analysis', John Husband in the same excremental journal agrees that the Great Unelected One is right.
What's interesting from a linguistic point of view is the use of the word 'moneylenders': makes it seem as if the perpetrators are a bunch of seedy, greedy, backstreet loan sharks. As opposed to a bunch of seedy, greedy, high street banks and credit card companies, who have just had their wallets filled with our cash for having screwed the world's financial system.

Many people are unaware that their homes may be at risk over relatively trivial amounts they owe on loans and cards - and not just if they miss mortgage repayments.So says the magnanimous Mirror, failing to tell you, of course, that the legislation allowing this to happen (Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007) went through parliament with the full knowledge and support of His Great Prime Ministerness Gordon Brown.
