The first thing any dictator does when in power is to start banning things. The Yo Blair dictator tried to ban the Free Masons. Remember that this is exactly what the Nazis did. Thankfully Yo Blair failed. May be he was just a little bit upset that they had not invited him to join.
As of today, I'm banning the wearing of red hats. I'm the dictator see and I hate red hats. Anyone wearing one will face a big fine, as in, on ye spot fine of £1000. Plus their red hat will be confiscated and burnt on the public bon-fire with any other red hats.
The next thing a dictator does is to build statues and/or buildings which they hope will leave some kind of legacy behind when they are thankfully dead. Mayor Ken here in London is planning to do just that. He wants monumental statues and/or buildings to be erected on the major road approaches to London. Nuts or what? I know, how about the crossed swords thing they have in Baghdad. That should send just the right sabre rattling message to anyone who thinks they're coming to London for a good time.

i quite like this question because someone old enough needs to answer it.
I lived here (UK) in the 70's and early 80's the time of Benny Hill, Rising Damp and the rest. Dave allen as an Irishman would poke fun at his own as did every Englishman.
People hugged their children and even the other members of family did. I have photo's of myself taken in 1949 stark naked as a child, every family had these.
Today holiday shots on a beach in France can get you arrested.
One is scared to get too close to relitives children and to tell jokes about other nationalities or cultures is totally taboo.
I was born in South Africa to British parents, but lived here most of my life. I have watched Peter Haine Boycott the SA rugby etc.
because of their lack of freedom of speach. Now I watch him and his party take the same route.
Freedom of speach is the most important thing that any country can have. ( I spent a short time in a SA prison to enforce my beliefe in that). Without it you have nothing. Peter Haine was against any form of detention without trial. He and his party have now passed these laws making this country less demacratic than South Africa. We need a country where every vote counts and we can say what we like. The Liberal way of PR will be benificial to all minority parties because every vote will count.
Whatever party you belong to it won't happen until we have PR only then will your vote count. I believe that however disgusting your thoughts are to me, you should be able to express them.

When we became a signatory to the so called human rights act, when we lost power of our courts to the foreign overpaid nanny court in Strasbourg. When Europe became our master, when the politically correct brigade tok over the shop, that seems to be in the last ten years ever since Blair got power, strange that isn't it?

It started to accelerate ten years ago. I think feminists have a lot to answer for as well, because they started institutionalised nagging a number of years ago, by bullying men. Intolerance, seems to have correlated with the increase in feminine influence in society.
Labour Governments love to nanny and control, and the 'Human Right's Act' has provided them with plenty of scope to do just that.

When everyone started doing degrees in media studies instead of being plumbers.
Political correctness is awful, I loved it on a programme called Mock the Week where they said political correctness was actually "Spastic gay-talk." Genius.
