labour and wheelie bins.

[fred]

It is incredible ,to some people ,that a Labour Government, should descend to right wings tactics against freedom of speech and movement. Consider the old chap,80 something, who was violently ejected from the Labour Party Conference for heckling. Dear Me, I remember going to Tory meetings in the late forties and early fifties with half the Burnley Labour Council on their feet harassing the Conservative Prospective MP. No one thought anything of it.It didn't worry the prospective candidate ,he gave as much as he got. Certainly the Conservatives practiced heckling as much as any of their opponents. The real losers were the fascists who when they spoke outside of the old, late lamented, Burnley Market on Sunday nights were faced with a barrage of taunts,laughs and points of order. It was part of life.What really must have hurt them was the barrage of pennies and ha'pennies thrown at them, with murderous intent,it always seemed to me. Of course, Councillors then could old their own at politics as could a lot of ordinary folk. They had an understanding of Labour Movement ideas that were a credit to the teaching skills of their forebears. They had a passion for ideas and theories.However the Labour record over the past years is frightening .The IDENTITY CARD, alone should give us pause for thought and not just because it will cost us anywhere between £80 or £300. Even when we are on the web or internet we are subject to scrutiny by our the State at Labour urging. The state is entitled to see anything we print ,send or view. Further it is not just kept in this country, at the request of our American masters our information could be sent to the States. Who would want it? They are daft enough for anything as are our home grown fascists and state bullies.Has anyone ever noticed when we phone a Government Dept, Welfare or NHS line we are met with a statement that "this call could be recorded for training purposes!"Today the more blatant opportunities for contolling the working masses are prefixed with comments about terrorists and so on, but when did the posession of an ID Card prevent a terrorist outbreak? Restrictions on the freedom of working class people have been developing since the 1940's and before.

Now another step forward has been taken, just a little one, but it points the way to the future. The Guardian , Monday 28/8/06 tells us that micro chips are being added to wheelie bins to 'alert councils to polluters'. Further on in the article a Council Official mentions the help it would be to any council charging for collection of refuse. This is a possibility that is being considered by many councils, of course it would hit working class families worse,most certainly those with large families. We already have micro chips put into the ears of animals,ie., dogs cattle ,horses and so on, one has to wonder just how long it will be before the ,'chip,' is used for human beings.

We really should waken up to the trend in working class control by this Labour Government and their satellites in the local authorities.
