I don’t means that it has abandoned socialism – although it has – but through its continued obsession with social control. Blair and his cohorts apparently believe that no principle is immune from their dreadful mantra of modernisation. The truly chilling aspect though is that they seem to believe it themselves.
Liberty cannot be modernised, only compromised. Blair’s Brown's modernised ‘liberty’ is not liberty but its antithesis. The possibility of dissent, the ability to say NO was once the foundation of our liberties. We are well on the way to losing that right:
With every chip the foundations are eroded.
