UK Gov't Launches 'Your Freedom' Website To Seek Laws Worth Repealing
Firefalcon writes "The UK Government launched Thursday the 'Your Freedom' website, headed by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, to 'identify laws that should be repealed.' In a recent tweet, Police State UK pointed out an article in the New Statesman which appeals for people to call on the Government to repeal the ill thought-out Digital Economy Act that was rushed through Parliament without sufficient scrutiny. While part of the Act is regarding the digital TV switchover, other sections allow for users to be restricted or disconnected from the Internet at the behest of copyright owners, which goes against the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' that has been in place since the Magna Carta."
Cameron's a fucking brilliant PR man. He knows that the Internet is mostly paTrolled by lazy, middle-class Libertardian types with way too much time on their hands. The loudest voices on this site will not represent the population, but people obsessed with:
Non-single-issue laws which have a significant impact on the freedom or purse of the public, such as those related to the right to remain silent or surveillance or regulatory bodies or corporate taxation or military spending or public-private partnerships are far too complex to be properly analysed by the lazy group dominating the forum, let alone able to be tackled in terms of "keep or repeal". And Cameron knows this.

And sexual orientation was most certainly not an issue FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE JUDICIALLY MURDERED ABOUT IT.
You've however happily told me the core bit: you're an idiotic straight white male who thinks if things are good for him they're good for everyone.
You need to learn to think outside of the box
