Talk about taking serious fucking liberties!

But Labour won last time with less than half the voting percentage...i didnt vote Labour nor did millions of others...if you support say the green party what does your vote get you.....correct absolute Zilch,so for me personaly it wouldnt matter if i didnt get a vote because voting for governments has never really helped me,saying that even though we are a very tranquil nation relatively speaking i dont think we would stand for our votes being taken away.

Jeremy Clarkson as a better claim to be PM than McBroon,  at least he has actually had people vote for him to PM, even it was a mickey mouse internet poll or something.

I take your point about voting though but just proves that our "democracy" is nothing more than an illusion at the moment.

Meh!!!

They are trying to do their fucking job. "Police state"!!!!! Fuck that, again they are doing their job, which is to police. What would we do without a police force? We would end up policing ourselves that's what, and so who would you rather have policing the neighbourhood, your next door neighbours or an organised and equipped force that will respond to a telephone call?

What would you prefer, a country like the UK where the authorities actually try to do their job or a country like Thailand where the police consider their job to be one of extorting as much money from the populace as possible. "What's that? You got robbed Mr. Red?, well the best thing you could do is to file a police report, it will only cost 2,000 baht"

I am digressing here..... You may or may not be aware that the departure lounges or whatever in some UK and other countries airports actually stop and check individual males who are travelling to this part of the world. Obviously they are looking out for the Gary Glitters of this world.

And on a local thai forum the PC brigade are out: "Oh my god, it is an invasion of my privacy"........ "Oh my god it's profiling"............... FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!! These cops at the airport have actually caught pedo's with dodgy images of young kids, possibly/probably saving some kid(s) from abuse, and yet people still have a bitch about it. I have a little girl myself and so I am more than happy for the coppers to be looking over her. They could invade the privacy of my luggage all they fucking well like, the only time that I may protest is if I am due for a meeting in which case I would say "Hurry up a bit gov."

Now what are the supposed to do against terrorists? Just go in and wipe them out?

They don't really know where they (the terrorists) are do they, nor whom they are or what they are planning. All that they can do is try gather as much intelligence as they can to try to stop innocent people from being killed. They are just trying to pre-empt an attack which may kill may civilians, and it ain't exactly an easy job for them is it?

If you where to ask the families of 9/11 or Mumbai what they that of this kind of thing, something that may have possibly lead to the attacks being thwarted what do you think their opinion would be? And what would YOUR opinion be should you be involved such a thing?

I did have (Lots) more to to say but I have had too much to drink.

But I will end with, I know that the old bill can be cocks at times. But if they are trying to do things such as stopping terrorist's and Pedo's from their evil deads, then what does it matter that they had to check your bag or look out for references to bombs or whatever from your hotmail account.

Brothers, Brothers. We should not be fighting amongst ourselves, we should be fighting the common enemy.

[BANGKOK RED]

Oh, and after just having scanned through the article:

Human rights group Liberty

Too drunk to research myself, but a stab in the dark tells me that this is the type of group the believe that Pedo's have the (Human) right to live and work next to kids.

I may stand to be corrected but if I am correct then these type of people REALLY get under my skin.

What about peoples rights NOT to be bombed or kids rights NOT to be raped?

"Oh but they might know my hotmail account"

FFS!

BR, The point is that its basically death by a thousand cuts.  
Government today bring in a law, with I'm sure, the best intentions. The next government might not.

Who polices the police?

Does it make it wrong to bring in that law in the first place though Ironside?

[BANGKOK RED]

Who polices the police?

I guess that we do Ironside. If that got out of hand a good riot or to would set them straight.

I have been in Thailand long enough to appreciate that the UK is democratic enough that the people can sort their own problems out. Here, they rely upon the Army and the Monarchy.

[BANGKOK RED]

One last word before I go to bed.

For me this sums up this whole thread.

[Nomoreheroes]

BR: That is the most eloquent amd spot on p*ssed up rant I have seen for a long while. I salute you!

[jayohaitchenn]

I'm terrified. I find myself agreeing with Ironside daily.

[Anteater]

I'm Brionside and so is my wife !

[suttonred]

Maybe i'm a bit pissed, but i have read the whole thread and dont have a fucking clue what is going on,help!

[Gazza's Fat Mate]

Who is this common emeny?

If we carry on the way we are going all civil libirtes will go but thats okay because if you have done nothing wrong you don't need them. Once they are gone then the right to choice will soon go as well and what you do will be dicated by the state.
