Theresa May's Orwellian doublespeak

Today, at the Tory conference, Theresa May said* with a straight face:
"There can be no liberty without security"
... having just alluded to further militarisation of the police.

The Tory faithful applauded.

Astonishing.

"Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither ..."-- Benjamin Franklin. 

Will someone please tell the Tory Faithful that the price of liberty is eternal vigilence? Or are they a lost cause?

At least Douglas Carswell can see the continuity of agenda.

* The link to May's speech, above, doesn't appear to have an official transcript.

c'mon Fausty, you expect something differet from a 'robotic' audience?

As to Carswell - I still believe the man speaks with forked tongue!

Just saying......

NB: I see word verification is 'hever' - blogger moving to Ukip, as in Michael Hever of that party?
