Police State UK: Presstitute Watch #3

2 articles in the Daily Mail today related to the slow, but inexorable slide towards a U.K. police state. First was a piece of brainwashing to convince readers that it will be "O.K." to introduce lie detectors and to convict people on this basis. Even more serious in terms of its implications was a responsible article, written by David Rose, explaining the dangers of the proposal to hold evidence in secret in courts and inquests. Well done, David Rose. You are a credit to your profession! I hope more journalists will rise to the plate as you have done, regardless of the direction of the newspaper for whom you work. Source
