This blog is dedicated to examining the current governments relentless destruction of the liberties that were once espoused by John Wilkes and which were supported by the cry of "Wilkes and Liberty". His great achievements have a real contemporary relevance, the free reporting of parliamentary proceedings so that all could understand what was going on, the unlawfulness of "general warrants" to attack peoples freedom from arbitrary arrest, and the rights of electors to be represented by their choice of candidate and not who was approved by the government of the day. Examples of repressive and arbitrary government actions are welcomed and comment will try and examine whether or not the what is going on is lawful.
We seem to be living in a country where the government, run by the North Briton in Chief, is happy to use the police and the law to suppress opposition and prevent criticism. The complaint against Damian Green is that he might have encouraged leaking. I hope he has and if this blog encourages others to leak material with which to embarass the government it will have made some small contribution to our greater freedom.
