One of my pet hobby horses for some time has been our NuLabour master's attempts to emulate Hitler.
Don't believe me? I ran a few examples a while ago ( fabricating evidence for war etc etc) but there has been much more in the last wee while.
Quite apart from the subborning of judges, the attorney general and the entire justice system ( and good on the judges saying they would have nothing to do with it) we now have that lynchpin of Nazi Aryan policy - castration.
OK I know it's only chemical, but Hitler and his pals had a policy which was aimed at social misfits and people of sub-normal intelligence. Not up to snuff? Don't want any more of youdo we? CASTRATE! STERILISE!
One of the most poignant and telling scenes from Judgement at Nuremburg was when the defence attorney( Maximilian Schell) verbally cornered the castrated witness ( I think it was MontgomeryClift, but would stand to be corrected) and showed he was in fact a child abuser of below average intelligence. The point was being of low intelligence was not grounds for castration, but child abuse was. I know the present proposals are "only voluntary" but they are going to be available to more people and er, well, we expect it to be a great success - especially if by accepting the castration you get your sentence reduced or your identity kept secret.
I haven't seen "Taking Liberties" but I just bet even non-political and Labour Loving Lefties are finding it a bit uncomfortable.

Why don't they go the whole hog and offer voluntary euthanasia to all criminals/people who disagree with them?
