You're surely not denying that Blair's governments oversaw some of the most sinister restrictions of free speech, individual rights and expansion of state powers witnessed in peacetime since Lord Liverpool?
And these expansions of state powers have all been rolled back, presumably, over the last seven years.
Oh.
Now I dislike Toniblair a lot more than the next man, and agree that the the trends you describe have developed over recent years and decades, but I don't think you can pin it exclusively on him or his party.
It's a result of creeping cultural Marxism which started at universities in the 60s with socilaist professors proselytising the propaganda fed to them by the KGB in order to undermine and weaken our society, accelerated courtesy of the brainwashing of the 'alternative' 80s and then reached a fever pitch under Blair and his acolytes. The problem of course, is that the holy scriptures of this leftist manifesto have become so prevalent and mainstream that it would take a government with some serious balls to challenge them and begin rowing back the greatest absurdities, so even when we got a Conservative government under Cameron and Osborne, not only did they ignore the nonsense, they even added such gems as 'marriage' for Adam and Steve.
We need a strong, stable dictatorship, compulsory military service, and probably a big, big war to get back to some form of reality.
I have a recurring one in which I am due to sit an exam for a course when I didn't attend any lectures/tutorials all year. The weird thing is I am often more worried about my nominal tutor invigilating the exam and not allowing me to take it than not being able to answer any questions. I prefer that one to the other when I am due in to bat and I can't put my pads on - that's terrifying
Oh, no. I wasn't suggesting they had been rolled back. Once you give governments these kind of powers, they don't tend to give them back without a fight. However, my point is that Blair's governments were singularly fond of this sort of thing and he used his big majorities to get them through.
