Here is another truth of ‘Banksy’s message’ writ loud in a grotesque
parody of the initial graffiti’s, Shami Chakrabarti and Jeremy Corbyn
were the loudest critics of the Snooper’s Charter – but now they’re in
power (?), they’ve gone ‘establishment’ quiet. Theresa May’s first attempt
to spy on us began in 2012. Four years on, it looks as though she has
finally ground Parliament into submission. No wonder alert and informed
voters are so cynical of Parliament’s sitting gangsters.
From the Independent, Mike Harris writes:
If you’re concerned there will be no opposition to Brexit, or that the
Tories will abandon the Human Rights Act, or we face a militarised police
by stealth, then frankly you should be very worried indeed. Britain is
now a one party state and the people you expected to stand up for our
fundamental liberties are absent on duty.
In the coming fortnight, the illiberal Investigatory Powers Bill will pass
through Parliament, making it easier for the British Government to spy on
citizens entirely innocent of any crime.
