UK: New police powers ‘will curb Press freedom’: Officers will be allowed to confiscate material from journalists

The Ministry of Truth will determine whatever the truth is of the day.

As a nation’s character declines, liberty follows suit. Progressive Britain is a case in point:

Britain Cracks Down on Whistleblowers  (Moonbattery)

Police are set to be given new powers to seize confidential material from journalists.

In a worrying blow to Press freedom, the changes may also mean journalists will be forced to identify whistleblowers to the police. …

It raises the prospect that someone who uncovers wrongdoing will not come forward if they risk being named to the police.

According media law expert Gavin Millar QC,

“Journalists will only be able to claim confidentiality by testifying that the source was free to give them the material.

“This will be impossible for most public interest disclosures by whistleblowers.”

But if Britons would allow themselves to be disarmed, and then allow themselves to be displaced from their own country by Islamic welfare colonists, they aren’t likely to put up a fight over this. To paraphrase Leonardo da Vinci, it would have been easier to resist at the beginning.

Is this the “independent media council” the EU is calling for to award unelected bureaucrats power to sack journalists who don’t align with the totalitarian vision ?

From a commenter:

Makes one wonder why the British bothered to fight the Nazis. They are becoming everything the Nazis were, but at least the Nazis dressed better.

Had Hitler won, Europe would have been united under the same laws that are coming. So many brave dead men did so much only to have their grandchildren embrace the ideas they fought against and embrace them with loving arms and adoration.

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Intriguing – this could be used against the enemedia, if applied right!
