We now live in a police state

George Orwell | 12.03.2005 00:05

Today a law came into force that mean that people in Britain can be arrested and held in prison indefinitely without having the opportunity to hear the evidence against them or the opportunity to prove that they are not guilty of a charge - there is no charge.

This abolishes magna carta and the basic safeguards for dissent of liberal democracy against the state.

What are we going to do?

George Orwell
