Even though our government appears to think that it is, with this being only the latest of a long list of Big Brother policies:

Everyone who buys a mobile telephone will be forced to register their identity on a national database under government plans to extend massively the powers of state surveillance.

Phone buyers would have to present a passport or other official form of identification at the point of purchase. (The Times)

Hence why I’m supporting this plan to send a copy of George Orwell’s 1984 to every single MP:

This book cost less than a fiver; are you prepared to spend the price of a couple of pints for your freedom?

On November 5th 1605 Guido Fawkes, ‘the only man to enter Parliament with honest intent’, sought to end the repressive rule of a King from Scotland who brought repression to the Country. The rule of the Stuarts ended on the battlefield of Naseby, with Absolutism subordinate to the rule of Law and Parliament.

The United Kingdom has now become riven with Cameras, unaccountable Local Authorities losing millions in Iceland. Who are speaking up for the people of this Country, as we are plundered as taxpayers to prop up the Banks, not the MPs that’s for sure.

We want to send a message to Parliament, we want 646 copies of ‘1984′, one to be sent to each member of Parliament – make your pledge at 1984@lpuk.org to send a copy to arrive on November 5th.

I have signed up, and will be sending a personalised version of 1984 to Parliament. It isn’t an instruction manual, and it is time that our elected representatives remembered that.

We want our freedoms, and they seem determined to take them away in the name of “protecting us”. As Benjamin Franklin said: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Please sign up and send a copy to your MP – or any other, for that matter.
