No. I was born in 1941 and can positively testify to the fact that about 90% of our liberties have been secretly taken away.
The UK population of the 1940s, 50s and 60s was much more disciplined than it is today. Yes, there was crime, but nothing like the scale we have today with our prisons bulging at the seams.
Our police back then were entirely unarmed. A police officer carried a truncheon, hidden under his tunic, he carried a notebook and a whistle. If a police officer wanted to phone his desk sergeant, he went to a police call box and phone in from there. If a police officer wanted to raise the alarm or call other beat officers to his location, he blew his whistle.
The public were much more co-operative with the police than they are today. People now think we are living in a police state and we are. There is a highly organised state machine which constantly wages war on the people.
Over six hundred new criminal laws have been introduced by Labour in the last ten years. Everything from thinking, speaking, smoking and drinking or laughing in the street, is now classified as a 'crime against the state' which might lead to an act of terrorism.

How loud can you say no? Who wanted three months imprisonment without charges for suspected terrorists?
Wasn't it New Labour? Who wants to curtail our rights and freedom on the pretext that it will make the country safer? Err, let me see, I know! It was New Labour, wasn't it? Who took us into a war that most of the people in this country didn't want, and under false pretences at that, (no WMD)? I think you might just find that was New Labour too. Is this a blindness competition? Surely nobody is still taken in by 'New Labour'?

Good sound question which fills me with anxiety as I believe the Brits have majored in the world because of their freedom. People like Alexander Bell would, if he were to live now, not be allowed to tinker with electricity and wires and consequently wouldn't invent a thing and as for Brunel getting planning permission for the Clifton bridge well he would be on a no hoper. Our freedom is being subtracted right left and centre and our wonderful inventive Country will change to a drab and dreary effigy

NO , How can we, when we are lied too , have our Rights pulled from under our feet , and told we have another twenty years of war to look forward too . This man I feel should pay the price for his crimes , along with the buffoon in the white house .
How can you feel safe when you are constantly under observation ?
Why do we need to be numbered ?
who needs to know how much is in your savings account ?
Tagged sir, is what we will be , if this continues .
As a whole we will go down in history as the ones who could have stopped this madness, but did nothing.
In the UK we should see the move to the right as a warning, if we do not educate one another we are lost .

Even the union bosses have their snouts interior the trough and earn in some distance more effective than a million + expenses!!! those individuals that're previous adequate to do no longer forget the faster labour governments interior the Sixties/80s even as they began messing about with the education gadget - and now seem the position we are. they are extremely the most 2 confronted, conceited and patronising set of political animals on record.

Can't say I've noticed either way. I do my job come home and live my life same as before. Length of working hours have been regulated down in my industry, not sure where my 'rights' come into it though.
