"There is more than one kind of freedom...Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it."
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

"It is up to each and all of us to ask the questions: what price our security? What price our freedoms? At what cost can we preserve our freedoms?"
John Reid (Quoted here)

I am also disturbed by the fact that John Reid reminds me more every day of Adam Sutler. Yes, the Tories were greedy, hypocritical and often uncaring while in office but on the other hand they didn't always make me think of fascist dystopian futures either...

I harbour a faint hope that the Tories will back off a little so they can cozy up to Middle East oil barons ala Iran-Contra but that's my only one at the moment. Or, I suppose, hung parliament leads to PR getting through leads to representation for those being stomped on - also highly unlikely :(
