They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety

My thoughts on the impending destruction of workers rights

In response to this story on the Evening Standard, I posted a comment which they apparently want to censor.  It is a reasoned response, but there is no sign of it in the comments section ...

I will post it in full below, as my opinion is just as good, and just as valid, as any blinded Tory voter's pro-Cameron, agenda driven opinion ...

"For a man with no mandate and a manifesto promise of no top down re-organisation, he sure is doing a good job of reorganising, from the top down, every facet of British life imaginable.  Imagine what he would have done had he said he was going to roll the country back to the stone age BEFORE the election?  I cant imagine why the British public are so content to see people's rights destroyed in such a brazen manner?  He has this country brainwashed with his talk of benefit scroungers, 'we all in it together' and big society.  What with employment rights also being reorganised from the top down?  Don't be surprised when you unfairly get your hard earned minimum wage job taken from you for no reason after 11mth 25days, with a broken leg to boot as a result of employer negligence, and not have a leg to stand on. You want your human rights trampled on, you got it.  Enjoy."

I think I pretty much nailed the point.  Truth hurts the right, they don't like hearing it and refuse to act on it.  They just continue on their merry way, shutting down the UK in a distinctly 1981 style.  I wonder if the new-romantics, hairdos, make-up, and all, are headed toward a return to the streets?  God forbid.
