Freedom my arse

Big Brother is watching you, and it's destroying the evidence.
Firstly, the Cabinet Office is actively engaged in destroying emails that would have implicated David Blunkett -- and possibly Alistair Campbell's not-so-dodgy dossier -- before the Freedom of Information Act kicks in in January.
Secondly, the government is refusing to release advice on the legality of identity cards, having nevertheless allowed a House of Commons debate to try and make them law.
For all its pontificating about Open Government, Freedom of Information and Data Protection, this government and our recently deposed Home Secretary have implemented some of the most Orwellian legislation, amid a torrent of doublespeak. And if you complain, you're a wooly liberal or have something to hide, according to Charles Clarke.
Actually, it's the government that has plenty to hide, not least doing favours for friends at our expense or sending people to die in a foreign country under a false pretext. Let's all sit idly by while they do it.
