Gordon Brown is currently revealing his tedious old ideas about British unity and the possibility of setting up “British Day” - in the spirit of America’s Fourth of July celebrations. He has a tendency when things aren’t going well or things are rather boring in politics to draw this card out. He already wrote about it in Prospect magazine a few months back. Part of what gets me is that he has the gall to use the words “freedom” and “liberty”, when he has served on a government which has ransacked Britain of any of it’s traditional liberties. We are set to have a law which will threaten the liberty of free speech. We’ve seen drastic increases in police powers. This is a government that has locked people up without trial and dismissed due process as a nineteenth century technicality. Why, exactly, should anyone take Mr Brown seriously when he uses the word liberty?
