Why you ALL should watch Taking Liberties


Touched upon basic civil liberties such as:
  • Right to Protest.
  • Right to Freedom of Speech.
  • Right to Privacy. 
  • Right not to be detained without charge. 
  • Innocent Until Proven Guilty. 
  • Prohibition from Torture. 
And through these six illustrated how through the New Labour government how they destroyed all these rights, and how we have very little freedom with all them. It depicts the stories they didn’t want you to know, such as innocent men and women being arrested. How the right to protest has been stifled, how the rights of which have been fought for over centuries beginning with the  Magna Carta have been abused and demolished in the space of a decade. The lies Tony Blair and his government fed us and how in ten years he created more laws than any other government before him. One day we’re going to wake up with no rights and wonder how we got here, how we got to this stage and then it’ll be too late. I believe everyone needs to wake up from their slumber and realise we have no rights, we have no say in matters. It us against the government. The police are meant to be SERVANTS TO THE PEOPLE, yet the only persons they are serving are the government. 
British people need to wake up and protest for the right to protest, protesting shouldn’t be something to be feared it should be something which is celebrated and the documentary shows how we can win, but also how the government can make us fear going into protest. It was an emotional, gripping documentary and I’d recommend it to everyone, especially those interested in politics as it may open your eyes a little bit.
