The march of the Big Brother state under Labour was highlighted last
night as it was revealed that there are now 1,043 laws that give the
authorities the power to enter a home or business.
Nearly half have been introduced since Labour came to power 11 years
ago. They include the right to:
• Invade your home to see if your pot plants have pests or do not have
a 'plant passport' (Plant Health England Order 2005).
• Survey your home and garden to see if your hedge is too high (Anti-
Social Behaviour Act 2003).
• Check that accommodation given to asylum seekers is not being lived
in by non-asylum seekers (Immigration and Asylum Act 1999).
• Raid a house to check if unlicensed gambling is taking place
(Gambling Act 2005 Inspection Regulations 2007).
• Seize fridges without the correct energy rating (Energy Information
Household Refrigerators and Freezers Regulations 2004).
The rise in clipboard-wielding state inspectors flies in the face of
repeated pledges by Ministers to curb the power of bureaucrats.
The full extent of the state's 'powers of entry' is revealed in
documents slipped out quietly by the Government last week.
The information was posted on the Home Office website, but in a highly
unusual move, the computer file was locked to prevent it being copied
or printed. A secret Home Office password was required to access the
file.
A Home Office spokeswoman denied the restrictions were an attempt to
stop the state's powers being circulated more widely.
She claimed it was a 'mistake' and the file would be unlocked
tomorrow.
Some 420 new powers of entry are the product of laws introduced since
1997. A further 16 are in laws due to be approved by Parliament in the
next few weeks.
A recent study by the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank warned that
the 'proliferation and variety' of such laws mean householders can no
longer 'realistically be aware' of their rights and legal obligations.
Gordon Brown last year announced a review of 'powers of entry' laws
and said they would be subjected to a 'liberty test' to stop abuses by
the state.
However, new powers set to be approved by Parliament include
inspecting for non-human genetic material, for looted cultural
property from Iraq and for 'undeclared' carbon dioxide, as well as
enforcing bin tax.
Town hall 'bin police' already have the right to enter homes, take
photographs, seize contents of bins, and 'investigate as required'.
Householders can be fined up to £5,000 if they refuse entry or
'obstruct' an official.
Shadow Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said: 'Day by day under
Labour, the rights and liberties of law-abiding citizens are being
eroded.'

If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.
I could be posting 'Proven anti-Semite David Hines, a retired US navy
officer is now making common cause with well known proponents of Fascism in
the UK'.
It's painfully obvious that you're pig ignorant of British politics and
every time you open your potato trap you make a complete fool of yourself
and leave yourself open to accusations of consorting with Nazis.

It's equally obvious you're a twit who can't address the point.

Powers of entry should make you happy.
It's amazing how this man who is all for the Patriot Acts that let
Republicans intrude into the privacy of Americans
is worried about the privacy of Brits. Hypocrite

In the US, anybody is subject to having their door knocked down and a bunch
of heavily armed police invading their home.
If an innocent startled home owner defends his home thinking it's a criminal
home invasion, and shoots somebody, and then survives, he'll probably lose
everything he has trying to defend himself against phony evidence created by
the police to protect and justify themselves.
The "drug war" is the usual excuse. It's expensive in tax money for
supporting bloated self perpetuating police buracracies, ineffective in
combatting drug use (as evidenced by a thriving trade and decreasing drug
prices over recent
decades), expensive in maintaining large numbers of often non-violent
offenders in prisons, and along with the phonied up "war on terror", is
corrosive of civil liberties.
By the way, alcohol is just as destructive a drug, and in some cases more
destructive, than the other illegal drugs being "warred" on.

then you'll be glad to know that in some states parents can
be imprisoned for allowing their children (under 18!) to party
at their home with alcohol available

Big deal.. It is Galloping in America. Gods name is Michael Chertoff and
his throne is called homeland Security. The FBI, NSA and CIA report to
him on Bended Knee. Of course Mr Chertoff is a dual nationality Jew with
a Home in Israel. GW Bush calls him daily.
