It is wholly unhealthy for us as a Parliament to give this government unseen powers over the citizen and over the way in which he conducts his or her life.

They think of themselves as British. They don't need a government minister to tell them how to describe themselves?

This Government has tied our police up in so much red tape that instead of being on the streets dealing with crime they now spend half their time at their desks.
