Contempt for the Electorate
I've decided to log everywhere and everything I see as blatant proof of the Governments contempt for the electorate; everywhere where they show that they just do not care about the people they are supposed to serve (yes, you read that right - it's easy to forget that they are there to do our bidding).
* Banning protests within 1km of parliament. Even if the argument "in case of terrorists" were true, what about the rest of us? Is it okay for us to die? Which brings me on to...
* No investigation into the July 7th bombing.
* Complete failure to even apologise to 2,700 people wrongly labelled as criminals. To put it another way, 10% of all people barred from jobs were completely innocent.
A few "oldies":-
* The government refused to reveal it's legal advice that proved it was legal to take our country to war.
