One thing I've noticed about Labour is they operate much like a religion. They preach to us like religious nutters do, saying we must give up smoking, drink less, eat 5 fruit and veg a day, and the new one is this change 4 life campaign. They let councils spy on us, they take away as many rights as they can get away with in the guise of combating terrorists. Well we had far more incidents of terrorism under the conservatives by the IRA, and they didn't bring in all these laws.
To me it's exactly the same way organised religion operates. Religion has the threat of hell and the devil. Labour has the threat of terrorists, which I know is actually more real than hell or the devil, but they are using it as a means to scare people and take away our freedom. I think that the terrorists have already won because the governments actions have caused a climate of terror and oppression in this country. I know this as my family and I were harassed for a short time, as people were abusing powers they had been given.
Religion preaches morals and the right way to live. Labour also like to tell us how we should live and are taking away our freedom of choice to eat want we want, smoke where we like, and watch what we want. Most of the top Labour politicians are religious, so it's no wonder they run their party like one.
Ideally I would love all politicians to be atheists, I can't see how having a religious belief is any advantage to running a country. Especially a country where most people are probably atheists or just not bothered.

Extract from an article about a holiday hotel built on the orders of Adolf Hitler. Read the very last sentence - does it ring any present-day bells?
"BERLIN // A gigantic Nazi-era hotel resort built on the orders of Adolf Hitler to create a happy German nation fit for war will start undergoing a wholesale refurbishment this year in a controversial project that historians warn will obscure the dark past of the site.
The complex at Prora, on the island of Rügen just off Germany’s Baltic Sea coast, stretches for five kilometres along a pristine sandy beach. It was built in the 1930s to accommodate 20,000 holidaymakers, but the outbreak of the Second World War prevented its completion.
Much of it has stood deserted for decades as a towering example of Hitler’s ambition to control every aspect of the nation’s life.
Sounds sort of familiar...
I don't think Gordon Brown wants to control every aspect of our lives, I believe alot of the decisions made were by his army of women MP's such as Jackie Smith and the like. But on the other hand he backs them up. I couldn't liken the Labour party to the Nazi's. For one thing the Nazi's were liked and were popular at least at the start. And Gordon Brown lacks the kind of charisma, drive and passion Hitler had. I think alot of the problems the Labour party has caused is due to incompetance and not very well thought out ideas on the advice of people who don't have enough experience. I think it's the party of incompetent idiots. If it proves to be as bad as the Nazi's, well only time will tell. But I doubt it.
